♪ What does this mean? "Butterfield HR minus four v enriched grade eighth?" Your daughter is running a gambling ring, Mrs.
Unger.
Did you ever teach Kate anything about running a sports book? Phil: Yeah, back when I was betting big on football.
Why? She's been running a book at school.
And she's procuring quite a healthy profit.
Hey! That's my girl! This man that I fired, uh, he comes in late, he steals money from the drawer, and he-he stares at the breasts of women customers.
If-if I have a bad employee, why can't I fire the bastard? The rules are stupid! And so is the law.
So your problem is, she got caught.
Well, I still think that I'm being wrongly punished for dismissing one employee who was no good.
Okay.
Well, what about when you don't give your new employee, okay, your own cousin, time off to go to his own daughter's birthday party? Brigitte: Yeah, maybe you could get away with that back in the village, little man, but here we actually treat our employees with respect.
You mean, when you're not beating them up? ♪ Steve: How do you pronounce it? What is it? Keh Steve: What is it again? An ancient grain high in protein, low in calories.
Steve: When you say ancient Sam: The Incas ate it.
Oh okay, so it's not that this actual odod is like really old, or something.
Sam: No.
Steve: Oh okay, good.
And I notice from the menu that we don't serve any meat.
Or dairy.
Or eggs! Didn't Bruno tell you what kind of restaurant this is? Bruno doesn't actually know what kind of restaurant this is.
He was a Portuguese grocer before he got involved with you.
And his English, although totally- I told him it was a vegan restaurant.
You telling me he didn't understand that? No, I'm sure he understood it up to a point.
What about you? You only understand it up to a point? Oh, no meat, no dairy, lots of quinoa, hey, I got it.
You ever worked in a kitchen before man? Not really! But I'm a quick study.
Bruno didn't send you here to spy on me, did he? No, no! I needed a job, so.
Because you know, this partnership was supposed to be based on trust.
Oh, it is! In fact, he told me that he was thrilled beyond belief to have you as co-owner.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like somethin' he'd say.
No, I was paraphrasing.
Anyway, I'm surprised you're working in the kitchen, Sam.
Don't you have better things to do than cutting up carrots? You know, business plans, administrative tasks, that kind of thing? That doesn't mean anything, man.
If the food's no good, right? Of course not, but eventually.
Eventually what? Steve: Growth, Sam! You're gonna wanna get bigger.
And for that, you're gonna need investors.
So listen, I know a few people, if you want I can take a look at the books.
That's not the kind of business I'm interested in running, man! What? A successful one? (Laughs) I'm gonna Check downstairs, you don't touch anything.
Sure.
All right.
I mean it! You don't touch anything! (Pot hisses) (Smoke alarm beeps) Sam: Move out of the way! Okay.
Heh.
I could've done that.
Bruno: Yeah, so Sam used to come into my store, you know, always complaining that I didn't carry any organic products.
And I'd tell him you know, it's too expensive, it just spoils too easy, and it looks terrible.
But then, he told me that people would pay double for something that's called "organic.
" So you started carrying it.
No, come on! I just started putting in some signs on my regular products, saying it was organic.
Wow, you don't even seem a little embarrassed to tell me that.
Well, no, I'm sorry, I mean uh This was way before I took that ethics class.
So that class actually made you more ethical.
Well, I think it just made me more embarrassed of being unethical, you know? How's the food? It could use bacon.
Oh Are you sure this is the kind of restaurant you wanna co-own? Healthy food is the future, Steve! You know, lots of people are gonna be eating this stuff.
Including you? Come on, not having meat? Come on, that's just nuts! Well, whatever.
Anyway, I'm sitting on a goldmine here, you know? And I'm gonna be cashing in.
Yeah, you'll be cashing in, and I'll keep making minimum wage.
Well, actually, there is an opportunity for you to I don't know, do better if you want to.
I always wanna do better, Bruno, that's my strength, and my curse.
And it's the reason why I wanted you here.
To find a way to make it better.
For me? Well, me first, then you.
Which means you'll pay me more than you're paying me now? Well, I'm paying you almost nothing right now, so, yeah.
Let's hear it.
- Okay.
- By the way do you have any hot sauce? Absolutely.
Uh, when Sam first came to me, you know, asking for a partner, he only needed uh, financing, and business know-how, and I have that.
Here's your sauce.
That's honey, Bruno.
Try that.
It's really good.
And he was supposed to be the cooking expert, okay? But then after seeing what he does, I'm thinking, what's so expert about you know, steaming some kind of rice thing It's called quinoa.
Yeah whatever, and I just put in some seaweed, or something on top, and covering the whole thing up with um - Hummus.
- Yeah, hummus.
But putting hummus on stuff.
Who couldn't do that? So you're thinkin you don't even need Sam.
Yeah, and my cousin Joaquim, he has been taking this chef's course over the Internet, (whispers) He could do the cooking! Yeah, and you could pay him a modest hourly wage instead of sharing half of your overall profits.
Yeah So you want me to help you come up with a way to get Sam out of the business? Is that possible, Steve? - Probably.
- Okay.
I'm gonna get you some bacon, just because of that, okay? (Laughs) Right on.
Money.
It gets in the way of everything, man! It making this arrangement with Bruno pretty difficult! Well yeah, because that's all Bruno cares about.
Okay, so the other day, right? He's trying to raise the price on juice, and I'm like, "why?" And he goes, "well, because people will pay more.
" Right? What a jerk! He probably doesn't know any better, you know? It takes-it takes struggling immigrants a generation or two before they get to chill out about that shit.
But It's uh this-this-this clown! Woman: Is that Steve? This clown, he's somethin' else, man! Runaway capitalism in the flesh! So the question is, why? Did Bruno bring in this particular guy to work in our kitchen? You think Bruno's planning something? Or he knows we're planning something.
I think we might need to make our move sooner than we planned.
Otherwise we might end up wage slaves! To Bruno? No, to Stevie boy here! (Kids laugh and holler) (Siren wails) Look around, seven new vehicles have parked here in the last month.
Kendra: And some of their occupants don't appeal to me at all.
Why do they have to appeal to you? She has needs, just like the rest of us.
I didn't mean sexually, I meant they lack a certain spirituality.
Not to mention basic social skills.
They release themseveves in the shower.
You mean, they relieve themselves.
That too.
People are getting very upset.
We're worried it's going to turn violent! People are fighting over parking spots, starting to form cliques Kendra: And you know what happens when people begin - to group off like that, Steven? - What? Tribalism.
The beginning of the end.
She means war.
Tribal war? Kendra: Fought over our very precious and limited resources.
And it's up to you To stop it.
Why me? Why not you? You have all these opinions about everything.
What opinions? I don't have any opinions! Kendra: We were thinking you should start a - Government! - Except it shouldn't be called a government.
No, because the word government makes people nervous.
So you call it a committee, and tell everybody it's for organizational purposes.
But only really use it to keep an eye on everyone.
Like a government.
Kendra and Peggy: Yeah.
Okay, but just getting back to why I should be the one- well, I'm too busy trying to survive.
And it can't be one of us, we're way too marginal.
This whole community is marginal! Kendra: Well, we're more than marginal.
They're completely off the page.
So it's up to you.
Sure.
Kendra: So we have a plan.
You're going to spearhead the formation of a committee to keep everyone under control, but you have to make it look like a democracy.
So you might have to hold an election.
But first we have to figure out how to rig it.
So what do you say, Steven? It's a clear choice.
Peace and goodwill.
Or tribal blood sport.
Bloodshed.
Right! Are you sure this is a good idea? Not really.
I don't think these people moved here to be governed, Steve.
Well, it's either this, or civic war.
Civil war.
Really? I-I'm just saying, don't expect everyone to get behind this.
Well, what about you? It could be a way to make things better.
Well yeah, but it could also make them worse.
Hmm, I thought she'd be with us on this.
You might have to sleep with her to secure her vote.
Yeah, I-I don't think she'd be into that.
Well, not sober, but get a few drinks in her, and (Makes snorting sound) You know, what I'm saying? Waah-aah-ow! Waah-aah-ow! Kate: I don't know about that slogan, dad.
It might be a little bit too sexual.
Well, you don't have to use it if you don't want to, I just thought it'd be nice if we were using some of the same buttons.
How's your campaign for treasurer going, anyway? It was going fine until someone started a smear campaign against me.
They're using that betting syndicate that I started as proof that I can't be trusted with other people's money.
Well, that's just not true! Yeah well, they planted the seed of doubt, so.
So you just take that seed of doubt, and you just grind it into dust, okay? You tell people how well you ran that syndicate.
That won't go over too well with the school administration.
Do any of them get to cast a vote? No, but Okay.
So you just gotta get that information out to the people who do.
Okay, you show tthe student body that you got nothing to hide.
Do you still have your account books? Yeah.
Okay.
So you put out the numbers and you show people how much money you made! And that I can not only be trusted with other people's money But also by making exciting and rewarding investments I can be expected to turn a healthy profit with it.
And I can give the student council the financial means that it needs to make all of its events even more successful.
Exactly.
You know, maybe I will go with these.
Let them make of it what they want.
It could catch on.
Anyways, good luck to the both of us, dad.
Steve: Yeah.
Peggy: It's a great idea! Kendra: There's nothing wrong with it at all.
We're just trying to make things better.
Yeah well, maybe people like things the way they are.
You just showed up, how would you know what people like? I make it my business to get involved.
What's going on? What are you doing here? He's disputing our right to hold these elections! He's got some nerve, he hasn't even been here an hour! What, you-you moved here?! I heard you going on about wh a a great place it is to live, so.
Kendra: I knew you secretly loved it here, Steven! I just knew it! Steve: I said it was a good place to live if you had no other place to live.
Sam: Well, that's my situation, and You-you co-own a restaurant, and you can't find suitable housing? Not at a reasonable price! No! No, and you know what? And I'm tired of being the victim of the greed and volatility of the real estate market.
So you're the face behind this illegitimate nonsense? Peggy: Hey, hey, hey! Steve: No wait, hold on a sec.
Illegitimate in what way? It reeks of way too much organization, man! I mean, what's the hidden agenda? Steven: Sorry? Sam: There's always a hidden agenda, man! Kendra: So what's yours? Peggy: Good one! Steve: Listen, we just thought it would be a better place to live if there was you know, someone just keeping an eye out for the overall good.
Good, good.
And where's the opposition? Kendra: It hasn't emerged yet.
Oh, so you're just expecting a victory by acclamation? Steve: Well You know, I get it.
Yeah.
"Looking out for the overall good.
" Steve, you're-you're forming a government, man! You're forming a government, and you're using these innocent dupes to help you do it! Did he just call us dudes? Dudes? Hah! Dupes.
He's using you, sister.
It has to be stopped.
Yeah, so-so I guess you don't want a button there, huh Sam? Jesus, what the hell was he going on about? I don't know, we could be cousins, but I'm not his sister.
I'm pretty sure.
Peggy: Hey, vote for Steve.
Steve: Hey, how are you? Man: Good luck.
Kendra: I hope that guy Sam isn't sowing the seeds of violence.
Peggy: Don't worry honey, we'll be ready for whatever comes at us.
Steve: Yeah, no we won't.
Yeah, I bought a book.
Steve: What kind of book? A book about what government should do in case things turn ugly.
Kendra: It's a guide to suppressing revolutions, quelling riots, counter terrorism tactics Peggy: Et cetera, et cetera.
Bruno: Steve, get in the car.
Come on, right now.
Oh my God, it's a political abdication.
I think she means abduction.
Stay put Steve, I'll deal with this.
Hey, buddy.
You know what I've got in my pocket here? Bear spray.
And unless you want a face full of it, you better back the hell out of here.
Steve, why is this woman threatening me with bear spray? Well, her thinking process is sometimes just a little What are you doing carrying around bear spray? You mean, why am I saying I'm carrying around bear spray! - What? - Listen pal, you tell your friends that no amount of scare tactics are gonna prevent us from holding this election! - You got that? Bruno: No, not really.
Peggy, it's okay.
This is Bruno.
Yeah, I'm his boss.
And-and my friend.
I'm mostly your boss.
And as your boss, I'm telling you get in the car! No, no, he's not going anywhere - without his protection.
Kendra: She means us.
He's too important to the life of this country.
It's-it's community.
Okay? It's okay.
Really.
Yeah, uh he can't live in fear Pegs, he has to be able to walk amongst the people.
Steve: Yeah, yeah, you know what, she's right.
I'm gonna be fine, I promise.
Peggy: All right, okay.
Kendra: Here.
Bye.
Bruno: Why aren't they working? Why are they all just sitting there? It's a sit in.
They wanna turn the restaurant into a-a collective.
- A what? - And they want you to sign over your half of the ownership for a fraction of what you paid for it.
Hah! Why would I do such a stupid thing? Well, they said if you don't, they'll sue for wrongful dismissal.
Bruno: But I haven't dismissed any of them.
Yeah, but they're prepared to lie about that.
They know that if you're sued for that again That would be my fourth time.
And you'll probably be in big trouble.
And they found out about your plan to take over the whole thing for yourself.
Did you tell them? Did you betray me after me being so generous to you? No, and you haven't been all that generous, Bruno.
I gave you a job.
But you paid me almost nothing.
Well, that's all you were worth.
Would I be worth more to you if I helped you with this problem? - Yeah.
- What? - Yeah! - How much more? Uh, let's negotiate that later.
Let's do it now.
- No.
- What's wrong with now? Now's not good! So Sam, you know what? I was just kind of wondering, do you spend most of your life trying to disrupt well running operations? What is he talking about? He's trying to form a government in the car commune.
It's not really a government, and it's not a commune.
Sam: A collective of people, living together without a formalized leadership structure.
That's exactly what it is.
And you're trying to ruin it.
No, I'm trying to make it better.
Sam: People tell me it's working fine.
Well, what people? Oh, you want their names, huh? Already making lists of your enemies, eh? Enemies, no! I'm just kind of curious- Sam: Listen, all I'm willing to tell you is that there's a general belief that they can learn to deal with all the problems that come up in that place in a collectively responsible way.
And if that doesn't work, maybe they'll all kill each other! Hey! We know who you are, okay? And we know why you brought him to work with us.
To help you arrange a hostile takeover.
So we are makin a pre-emptive strike.
What are they making? This is our own version of a hostile takeover! Yeah, and you know what Sam? It's a bit over the top.
So just tell me, look: What are you actually hoping to achieve here? Well, first off, we want to prevent Bruno from screwing us! Screwing you, you mean.
Sam: Screwing me actually is screwing all of us, because I've agreed to turn this uh This operation into a not for profit collective.
No profit? Oh, may God forgive you, because I cannot! Why would anybody do such a thing? This is what I always wanted to do.
Because well, besides the obvious reason, that capitalism is responsible for most of the problems in this world, I strongly feel that people deserve access to fairly priced organic food! So let me just get this straight.
You set up this business with Bruno's assistance - And my money! - Yeah, yeah.
With the intent of forcing him out at some point, with very little if any return on his investment? Just like he was trying to do to me! I can't believe this.
(Bruno sighs heavily) Am I screwed, Steve? Yeah, unless we can come up with another approach.
Steve's mom: You can't let her get to you, keep up the good fight.
Win or lose, you'll always be able to hold your head up high, and say I did my best, and I never sunk to their level.
Yeah well, it wears you down after a while.
Listening to people say that you can't be trusted.
I'm sorry honey, but you're carrying the burden of your father's past deeds.
His reputation's gonna be a malignant force in our lives for years to come.
Yeah.
Well, it hasn't stopped him from running for office.
- Excuse me?! - At the car community, he's running for leader, or something.
What does he expect to gain out of those unfortunate people? He said he's just doing it to keep the peace.
Yeah, I really think that he likes it there.
Did you get them all, Mac? Yeah, I even ripped some right out of people's hands.
Grandpa's been doing a little clean up around the school.
(Sighs) Wow.
All of this 'cause I ran a little gambling syndicate.
And because of your last name.
Fine, don't make rules here, okay? Scott's mom: That's absolute bullshit, I'm not a smoker, I'm raising my kid in a non smoking environment Kristy's dad: Well, that's okay, well, this is your spot- look at them, they're fighting more than ever now.
Yeah, what? About what? Politics.
My mom's supporting you, and her dad just joined Sam's protest group.
I'm gonna have to have a word with your dad then, okay? Because Sam's so called protest group are just a bunch of idiots! Idiots who don't wanna be governed by any rules! I don't think it's fair to label us all as idiots.
- You're one of them? - Yeah! Oh come on, Kristy! Do you really think we can all go on like this, Kristy? I mean, without any regulations? We have goodwill, Steve.
Isn't that enough? My mom says no society can survive without rules.
Well, maybe this one can! Okay, I'm sorry, it's just stupid.
That's what you think?! Well, obviously it's what I think, or I wouldn'tve said it.
Okay, that's enough! Come on, where are you going? You think I should just stand there and let you yell at me? Who's yelling?! You drive in with your freakin' circus and everything changes overnight! Okay, just stop bullshitting me! So that group of his is really gaining steam.
Yeah, it might be time to put some of our counter insistency measures in place.
Insurgency, honey.
Counter insurgency.
Ooh, tell him what you want to do with the water supply! Right.
That's good stuff.
Yeah, when you say stuff, you're not talking about poison, are you? Steven please, we may not be Mr.
and Mrs.
average, but we still use mainstream solutions.
Yeah, but in terms of putting something in the water supply? It's just a chemical compound that makes people secluded.
Sedated, honey.
So that they can't cause trouble! I think Castille used it on Castro.
Steve: You mean Castro used it in Cuba.
No, or that place with the guillotine? - The Bastille.
- That's it! Castro used it in Bastille.
To calm the mastiffs.
Well whatever, you know, I-I don't think that's the route we should take.
He means not yet.
Or in the foreseeable future.
Which could turn out differently.
Yeah, but not differently enough to have to sedate the opposition.
You know, we're just going to have to find an effective way to convince people that by opposing us, they're gonna be putting the future of this community in jeopardy.
Which is all I was trying to say.
So we'll put the counter measures on hold for a while, and let him do what he has to do, which is what, by the way? Well, I'm just gonna have to try some good old fashioned negotiation.
Sam: Anarchy with leadership! No rules! Except Absolutely no rules! Maintain the status quo until further notice.
So um, we're here to see Sam.
Sam: (On PA) Let him in! Are you sure? Sam: (On PA) Yeah! Steve: Thanks.
(Dog whines) So you're like a pharaoh now, or something, huh? I mean, is it really in the spirit of a collective for you to be set up here like some big kahuna, Sam? Well, you know, most revolutionary movements need a leader until the final denouement.
Kendra: I don't like the sounds of that.
Peggy: That's because it sounds French.
It doesn't sound French, it is French.
Ugh, that's even worse! Hey, tell him we've been practicing ways to dislodge him and his gang of rabbit rousers! Maybe later, okay? So, what's really going on here, Sam? I mean, what is it that you Sam, personally want? I mean, it's the restaurant, and now this, so what's the deal? I don't want this place corrupted by your hunger for power, Steve.
I think what's going on here is a great social experiment.
Kendra: This isn't an experiment, it's our lives, asswipe! I'm sorry.
I'm not hungry for power, okay, Sam? I just merely answered the call to serve, that's all.
Yes, that's right, we thought Steven would make a great leader.
(Laughs disbelievingly) Why? Well, I did run one of the most successful companies- Because we like him! Really?! You know, likeability means shit when it comes to leadership! Kendra: Yeah, that's sure true in your case, shit for brains! Steven, Steven! Look, bottom line Sam, what do you want? (On PA) I want what everybody here wants.
The status quo! Scott's mom: The status quo allows people to urinate in the shower, to leave their garbage lying around, to play their car radios most of the night! Kendra: And on occasion make sly, nasty comments about people and their alternative lifestyles! We need rules about basic human behaviour! Yeah, and the ability to enforce them! You mean, you need a police force.
No, they just need me.
Me and my ability to subdue, and if necessary, dehydrate, any trangressives that- Sam: Trans-trans what? Transgressives! You mean, like your friend there? The word is transvestite, okay? Kendra: Yeah, and that's not even accurate either! (All screaming at once) Over PA: (Screaming incoherently) It's ok, , honey.
That's okay, sweetie.
Okay, do you wanna put this on? Kendra: Oh no, what now? Peggy: Maybe he wants to apologize.
Guys like him, they never apologize.
Kendra: What do you want? Sam: To apologize.
Sam: That-that comment was completely uncalled for, and not at all what I stand for.
All right? It just slipped out, so I'm sorry.
Apology accepted.
How about from now on we try and keep things civilized? Bruno: Hey, buddy! Did you tell the people in the restaurant to do those crazy things? Did you? Sam: To do the crazy things? Bruno: Yeah, come on! Bruno: You need to answer me! (Bruno screams) (Sam laughs) So much for civility, huh Sam? You okay, Bruno? Huh? (Bruno whimpers) Steve: Wow.
He really pushed you, huh? Steve: Hey, that's cooking oil! We are totally committed to this.
You should be committed to a crazy people's hospital! Yeah, this is too much, okay guys? This is way too much.
Oh, yeah? Well coming from someone with no principles, that actually makes us more determined.
To set yourselves on fire? Unless he agrees to our conditions! Yeah, but he can't just basically give you the restaurant! We are giving him fair compensation! 15,000 dollars? That's less than a tenth of what he put into it! It's all we can afford, all right? And if he doesn't take it, we would rather end it like this, than to see our dream of a fairly run and reasonably priced eatery go down the drain.
I can't believe this! Neither can I! You know what, we're inclined to call your bluff on this.
Oh yeah, if that's your final position on the matter.
Oh my God.
No, put the lighter away.
Don't, don't, don't! Aaah! It's not working! Okay, read the instructions! Okay, okay! Step one.
Okay, step one, pull pin.
Step two, place hands firmly on top of lever, step three Steve: He thinks they're serious! Sam: Good.
Steve: It's making him crazy! Does that mean he's in the mood to make a deal now? You would have to agree to let him remain as a partner.
Out of the question.
He stands for everything we're against, man.
Yeah, but you seem to be against quite a lot, Sam.
Bruno's only in business for the profit, man.
My-my collective just wants to provide a service.
Without the profit.
Well, just enough to keep us alive and fed.
Yeah You don't believe me, do you? I-I don't know if I believe you or not, I was still trying to wrestle with the concept of non governmental, not for profit business.
People have to learn how to do a lot of things without the government, man.
You talk like a government hating whack job.
And you talk like a money loving pig.
Okay, but I still think we can come to some arrangement here, Sam.
Which has to include Bruno stepping away from the business.
For what he put in, plus a percentage.
Of what? The nonexistent profit? Right.
That's a problem.
Listen.
He won't do it this way.
We'll give him half of what he put in now, and we'll make him a full member of the collective.
Pay him his share on a weekly basis like the others? Until he's recouped his entire investment.
Okay, okay then, yeah, it's a deal! Not yet, no.
This attempt to take control over the car community, I-I want you to put an end to it.
What? Because it smells like government control? Oh, come on, Sam! It's just about forming a simple committee.
Because it sends the wrong message, man.
It-it tells people they can't resolve their differences without the presence of a higher power, a government, a God, or whoever, whatever else.
Come on, Steve.
A man of your experience, you can come up with something better than that to keep it all cool in that place.
Just 'cause you know, that place Could become a model for the future! You know, when When what? When the world goes to shit.
Hmm.
Peggy: So, I guess things just stay the same.
People fighting over shower times, and all the other important issues of the day.
Steven says that maybe we can solve some of these issues on a case by case basis, by using basic conflict resolution skills.
Whatever that means.
It doesn't mean anything.
It's just more patriarchal bullshit! God! It's times like these that I'm seriously conflicted about being a woman! I know, me too.
Kendra: Awwwww! Peggy: It's all right.
Kate: Good try.
That the same thing they said that time I finished last in the school race.
And they definitely won't be setting themselves on fire.
Yeah, I promise.
Look, I've gotta go, Bruno, okay? I'm at a party! What? No, you can't come.
Lori: Of course I'm glad you ran, I just-I just don't know why it had to be for treasurer.
Well, because that's what I wanted to do.
And she would've done a great job, too.
Yeah, but she would've done an equally good job as social convener.
- That's what I did.
- I know.
You said that with a bit of disdain, Kate.
No, I didn't.
And if she did, I'm sure she didn't mean to.
When she was in high school, your mother hadn't yet found her inner core.
You know, the thing that now makes her a horse person extraordinaire.
I'm not just a horse person, Steve, I'm also the president of a budding software company.
And I couldn't be more thrilled about that, Lor.
Yeah, sure.
Mac: Okay now, let's remember why we're all here.
Yes, to congratulate Kate on a valiant campaign.
A campaign that kept to the high road.
Kate: A losing campaign.
But an ethical one.
And one that we can all be proud of.
