Matthew[singing] Ted... He's dead... And the hobbits and the gnomes, they're dancing to and fro. They have to keep the plus 2 sword from the chaotic evil thief lord. Now we're rocking, now we're really rocking!
[Matthew is worried he's going to get "The Shaft" - a bonus of zero dollars.]
Say, Joe, who's the black private dick that's a sex machine for all the chicks?
Bill, I think that would be Shaft.
[Matthew notices and looks up.]
And who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
Again, Bill, we're talkin' 'bout Shaft.
Damn right.
You know, they say that cat Shaft is one bad mother-
MatthewShut up, you guys!
[entering] Hey, what's goin' on?
We're just talking about Shaft.
I can dig it.
Matthew[whispering] Dave.
Matthew, why are you whispering?
MatthewBecause lately Joe has been looking at me with hate in his eyes. It's like he's zapping me with hate rays. Zap, zap-zap-zap.
Zap, zap-zap-zap, eh?
MatthewDave, please don't mock me.
It's very hard not to.
It's almost 12:00. Is anybody gonna try to talk me out of this?
MatthewNope. Cause we don't have to.
Why is that Matthew?
MatthewWell, because I took the liberty of turning the clock back ten minutes, it is actually 12:05, which means you missed your midnight deadline... yes!
Matthew, that 12:00 was just a loose guideline. I'm dealing with a corporation here, not magical fairies.
You're telling me you don't want to go to New Hampshire because... your cats will kill you?
MatthewIt's called responsibility, David. Wake up and sniff it.
MatthewI took third place in the costume contest last year.
Really? What was your costume?
MatthewMotorcycle enthusiast.
Gay biker.
MatthewOh, Dave, oh my, you would have loved it... a week in a foreign place, strange people, strange customs.
I know exactly what you mean, I've been to Canada.
MatthewTrust me, Japan is even more exotic.
Clearly you've never been to Winnipeg.
[Reading cards from the complaint box]
"You suck." "You suck." "Howard Stern rules." "If you can read this you are a dork." "Coupon for one free kiss from Joe if you are a girl." "We need more complaint cards." "Coupon for one free kiss from Joe if you are a guy."
Hey.
[pulling out a fortune cookie slip] "You will go on a journey, happy long time." "Matthew is a moron." "No I'm not." "Yes you are." "No I'm not infinity." "Yes you are infinity plus one." And this one, "I have doobie in my funk," which I assume is some sort of reference to the Parliament Funkadelic song, "Chocolate City." Uh, "You got peanut butter in my chocolate. You got chocolate in my peanut butter. Together they taste like crap." "Matthew has been staring at me all day... and I love it." I don't think I get this one, it says, "I try to be good hard-worker-man, but refrigemater so messy, so so messy."
I think that one's probably from Milos, the janitor.
Oh. Refrigem... oh, then that one's legitimate.
[continues reading the complaint cards]
Uh, "Who's the black private dick who's the sex machine with all the chicks."
SHAFT.
I thought we'd all enjoy that.
[reading one last card] And, "Help, I'm being held prisoner in a complaint box," which is actually kinda funny.
Matthew, Bill is not a god.
MatthewTime will tell.
Dude, we're still brothers. It's just that we're not twins. And biologically speaking, we're not actually brothers, either.
MatthewBut we look so much alike.
No we don't. I'm three inches shorter than you are. You have blond hair, I have brown hair. I have green eyes, you have blue. I can grow a beard. I'm Jewish! How old are you?
MatthewTwenty-eight.
And how old am I?
MatthewTwenty-nine. But I just thought it was because you came out first.
[on making the station more productive]
No, Plan A was a bust. I'd like you all to meet...Plan B.
Hi, everyone.
MatthewPlanbee...what an interesting name...
Call me Andrea.
MatthewNice to meet you, Andrea Planbee.
MatthewDave, when am I getting my job back? 'Cuz, I am going stir crazy.
You have to have patience, Matthew. I'm doing everything I can.
MatthewWell, I'm doing my part.
I know. Unfortunately, that is precisely why you were fired in the first place.
MatthewWhy did we go to Hawaii together?
That was a dream.
MatthewOh... Wait a minute, I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
All right then. How was it?
MatthewNot that good, actually.
I'm sorry.
MatthewDave, we have got to get rid of that security door.
No, we don't.
MatthewYes, we do. A little bird just flew into the glass and died.
Really? [They go over to look.] Matthew, that's a Cornish game hen.
MatthewDoesn't it make you want to cry?
You didn't even bother to defrost it.
Sorry I'm late. The chambermaid couldn't get my corset laced.
MatthewYeah, I've been there.
You don't wear a corset, Matthew.
MatthewNot anymore, I'll tell you that much.
