Come on no peeking
Our eyes are closed and we're crossing the street Very good
Okay Open up
What do you want to show us
Because all I can see is this *******van
It's for our catering business
I think I know that girl
We won't keep it this way though
We'll replace the sword with a baguette
Oh my God I think I lost my virginity in that van
Also we don't know what to do with this
Oh yeah I definitely know her
Remember that guy from cooking school that put cilantro in everything
Sure Cilantro Larry
I'm filling in for him as food critic for the Chelsea Reporter
What an amazing opportunity to influence
Dozens of people
What about our catering business
It's just one night a week
Plus I get to take you out for free dinners
Well in that case
That was me hopping on board
Hey guys Hey Ross
Quick question for you
Are you ready to party
I could maybe go out for a couple of beers
There's this thing about bees on the Discovery Channel
I don't think you heard me Are you ready
To party
No
Gandalf Gandalf is coming to town
I have nothing to do so tomorrow we are partying with Gandalf dude
Dude we are so going to party
Wow okay Dude alert
Who is this guy
Mike Gandalf Ganderson Only the funnest guy in the world
I'll call to get off work tomorrow
I'll call after you
This will be so cool We never party anymore
Were you smoking something in the back of our van **
We never have fun anymore You have fun with me
Remember those strippers And you paid me 50 to eat that book **50
You are going to love this guy Gandalf is the party wizard
Why do you call him Gandalf
Gandalf the Wizard
Didn't you read Lord of the Rings in high school
No I had ***in high school
Joanna I was wondering if I could ask you something
There's an opening for a buyer in Junior Miss
That'd be a step down for me Actually I meant for me
The hiring committee is meeting people all day and
I guess you can't stay my assistant forever
Neither can you Sophie but for different reasons
I'm so glad you don't have a problem If you did I wouldn't apply
In that case
That's why I'm glad there's no problem
I'm on the hiring committee so there'll be one friendly face
That's great
Junior Miss is where I started
I slept with the ugliest guy to get that job
Really No
Yeah
I mean no
With your qualifications you won't need to sleep with some guy **
Although I might need some convincing
Kidding
God I feel wild today
Man I am so excited I may vomit
Will you calm down He's just a human guy
You don't understand He's amazing
You never know what'll happen
You go out for beer and end up on a boat to Nova Scotia
Really It's beautiful country up there
Hey Okay
I got my passport fresh socks and a snakebite kit
It won't be exactly like last time
I'll see you guys
I have an audition but I'll meet you
Where will you be around noon
Somewhere maybe along the equator
Hello
It's Gandalf
So are you in town
Oh well
Maybe next time then
What happened
He can't come He's stuck in Chicago
Oh man
Chicago's so lucky
Stupid useless
Canadian money
You have a very impressive resume Miss Greene
I especially like what I see about implementing a new filing system
Thank you
Filing system Those colored labels you put on all the folders
It did brighten up the filing cabinets
They did more than that
I notice you've been entrusted with a lot of important responsibilities
Joanna really has been an incredible mentor to me
Rachel has been incredible at getting my bagels
She gets it right almost every time
Of course I have more responsibilities than that
Of course There's the coffee too
Rachel can carry two things at once
That's very good
Now a big part of this job is
Cultivating personal relationships especially with designers
Yes l She shouldn't have any problem
Her only problem might be getting too friendly you know
I love working with designers
With them Under them What's the difference
My first review is out
The Chelsea Reporter
These used to keep me so warm
Look I'm on the back page
Would I go back to Allesandro's Sure I'd get two meals
One for me and one for the guy pointing the gun to my head
You really laid into this place
They don't pay me a penny a word to make friends
I found a guy who'd fix up the van for catering
You want me to go
It's okay Are we sure we don't want the waterbed
Because it would be silly to take it out if we're just gonna put it back in again
Haven't we made this decision
Yeah all right
Who is it It's Allesandro from Allesandro's
Oh my God I want to talk to you about your review
Call me on the phone
What So you can hang up on me
I'll never let you up so just go away
Just give me a chance to Do you need to get in
No Phoebe
Hey Monica
I want a retraction Our food is not inedible swill
I couldn't eat it
My five friends couldn't eat it and one of them eats books
Our service isn't grossly incompetent
The waiter carried the breadsticks in his pants
Well you said that we accept the Discover Card
Which we do not
All right that I'll retract
But I stand by my review I know food and that wasn't it
Your marinara sauce tastes like tomato juice
You should serve it with vodka and celery
I'm proud of that sauce It's delicious
You own an ltalian restaurant and you think that tastes good
Where are you from
Lebanon
Hand me those tomatoes
I'll show you what it should taste like
How long will this take I got another critic to yell at
Joanna I want to talk about that interview
I thought it went very well
No it didn't That's what I want to talk to you about
Now just to brief you
I may cry
But they are not tears of sadness or of anger
But just of us having this discussion
Please don't make a scene
There's nobody here
Sophie get in here
See You're making Sophie uncomfortable
No she's not
Congratulations You crossed the line into completely useless Get out
Do you want me to quit
What makes you think that
Those things you said in the interview
If you believe them I must not be a good assistant
You know what
I am just going to pack up my desk
And I will be gone by the end of the day
There's no use staying till the end of the day
Wait wait
You can put your sad little muffin back
If you must know the truth I didn't want to lose a good assistant
What
That's why I said those things about your flirting and drinking
My drinking
I must have said that after you left
Said what exactly
You enjoy the occasional drink
Ing binge **
Oh my God That is it I'm leaving
You are just a horrible person
Wait wait
If you're going to get all sensitive about it
I don't want to lose you
What if I create a position for you
I'll make you assistant buyer in this department
Say more things like that
Your own office and a raise effective tomorrow
I need an expense account Done
And an assistant Sophie
Hey I thought you'd be out partying with Gandol
Dorf
It's Gandalf and he's not coming
You've been sitting here all day
I balanced my checkbook
And I gave first names to all the foosball players
I can't believe he didn't come
So what We can still go out and party ourselves
With Gandalf we'd be out all night
We'd meet total strangers and hang out with them
We could do that
There was other stuff too
We'll do it all and better
After tonight Gandalf will want to party with us dude
It's not like we don't know how to party
All right Let's go
Maybe we could end up on a boat again
All right
When were we on a boat
Remember that cold morning with those dogs licking your face
Those were seals man
How would this suit look on an assistant buyer
The owner of Allesandro's came to yell at me
But I made him sauce and he offered me the job as head chef
You just ruined the thing I was practicing but I'm so happy
Can you believe it I get to run my own kitchen
Oh you've waited so long
Pheebs Quick question for you
How would this suit look
On an assistant buyer at Bloomingdale's
It would totally depend on her coloring and
You got the job
You got the job Why didn't you tell me
It'll be so great I'll help decide what we sell
I'll have an office with walls and everything
I'm going to have walls
Is this the day of good news or what I got us a job
The wedding reception
I kind of need to talk to you about that
I think it's time for me to take a step back from the catering
But we've only had one job
But now we have this second one and it feels like it's snowballing
What are you saying
I got offered the head chef job at Allesandro's
It's okay because you don't really need me
You're the cook
Without you it's just me driving up to people's houses
With empty trays asking for money
All right But I'll pay you back all the money you invested
And you can keep the van For what
I can't believe this
I got to get out of here
Phoebe wait a minute
I'm an assistant buyer
We'll get coffee get energized then head back out
Yeah all right Okay
So we're having fun right
We don't need that wizard guy
We hit some clubs talk to some strangers
Then go down to the docks and see about that boat thing
I'm kind of beat
Actually
Me too
Are you serious
Thank God I'm exhausted
You guys want coffees
I don't want to be up too late so I'll have a decaf ***
Yeah me too
Actually could I get some hot water with lemon
I strained my voice screaming in there Does it have to be so loud
I can't hear a word My ears are ringing so bad
I was glad I had that extra pair of socks
I used them as mittens
I didn't want to touch a thing in that last place
How sad are we
Yeah I know
You know what We're not sad
We're just not 21 anymore You know 21
I'm 29 years old d**n it 29
I want to sit in a comfortable chair watch TV
And go to sleep at a reasonable hour
I like to hang out in a quiet place where I can talk to my friends
And so what if I like to go home put on Kenny G and take a bath
We're 29 We're not women 29
There you are
I'm glad you decided to hear me out
Okay I'm hearing
I've been doing a lot of thinking
I came up with a bunch of businesses that you can do with your van
You could be a flower delivery person
What Or a bakery delivery person
Pizza
I got a whole bunch of stuff in this area
But I get the feeling you don't want to deliver
No Okay
I guess if you don't want to deliver
You probably don't want to pick up stuff either
No
You know what
Let's do the catering business
Really Are you sure Yeah I made a commitment to you
It'd be fun
It will be fun
Let's plan the wedding reception
You really wanted me to do something with this van
You know what I want you to take the chef job
Really Yeah
That's what you really want
I don't want to be the reason you're unhappy I'd be unhappy
And I really don't want to be the reason I'm unhappy
Thank you
Besides it might be kind of fun to form the new A Team
Hi Mrs Lynch
Is Joanna in already
Oh my goodness You haven't heard
Heard what Joanna
Passed away last night
Oh my God How
She was leaving work and she was hit by a cab
Oh my God I cannot believe it
I know
Oh God Oh God
Oh God
I didn't realize that you were so close
I know that this is an emotional and difficult time for all of us
But by any chance did Joanna
Send any paperwork your way before
It happened No nothing
Imagine if she'd just stepped off that curb a few seconds later
Yes just a few seconds and she'd still be with us
Nothing about an assistant buyer
I'm sorry I have to go
Good morning
I guess you didn't hear about Joanna
I sure did
I'm excited about having Monica on board with us
Although I do feel bad about having fired Chef Emilio
It is like losing a member of the family
Of course that literally is the case for several of you
Tony Carlos Marie
Please tell your father how much we're going to miss him
I know Monica has a lot of great ideas for this place
Well you all read the review
So without much further ado
I present to you our new head chef
I just want to say that with a pinch of excitement
A dash of hard work and a dollop of cooperation
We can have the recipe
Are you going to kill me
