00:15:03
I, like… hate you.
00:15:06
But I don't want you to hate me.
00:15:08
Is that weird?
00:15:11
-You're drunk, or something.

say the same.

00:15:31
You got time to lean,
you got time to clean!

Um, is the mask not making you happy?

Do you have anybody to talk to?

Like, in regards to…

your issues.
00:16:24
I'm sure Ragatha would
like to help you out.
00:16:28
-Heh.
00:16:29
Oh, Ragatha.
00:16:32
I love her, but…
00:16:34
after a while,
it gets kind of hard to tell
00:16:36
how genuine she's actually being.
00:16:40
-Well, maybe --
-Aaaanyway!
00:16:43
We can't spend all night out here
talking about our feelings.

We've got work to do!

I think she gets off in an hour.

performance review out of the way.
00:20:34
Overall, pretty productive.
00:20:35
Made a lot of sales
with few customer complaints.
00:20:38
Couldn't help but notice, however,
00:20:39
that you seem to have
cut your own shift short,
00:20:41
went a little kooky,
and ran out into oncoming traffic.
00:20:45
Now, being in a position
of power like this,
00:20:47
you cooooould offload the blame
00:20:50
to one of your employees
00:20:51
and avoid the dock on your score.
00:20:54
What do you think?
00:20:55
-No, that was my responsibility.
00:20:59
I just…
00:21:01
…Cracked under the pressure, I suppose.
00:21:03
-Hmm.
00:21:04
Well, that's gonna
knock your overall score down to…

a B-plus!

How's that sound?

Speechless.

I can't say I blame you.

Not every executive

I messed everything up.

The mask didn't work.
[sniffles]
00:21:52
And now, I don't think
anybody wants to talk to me anymore.
00:21:57
-[Zooble]: I still like talking to you.
00:22:01
Look, the new mask was a bust.
00:22:03
So, what?

I'm sure we'll find something
that works eventually.
