ED Erin! How's it going? ERIN You never called me back. I left messages. ED You did? Wow, sorry about that. Listen, Mario's a little not so bright. He seems to think that you said -- ERIN There's two things I can't stand, Mr. Masry. Being ignored, and being lied to. You did both. ED I never lied. I may have miscalculated --that happens sometimes, but -- ERIN You said things would be fine, and they're not. ED I'm sorry about that. Really. But -- ERIN I don't need pity. I need a paycheck. And I've looked, but when you've spent the last six years raising babies, it's real hard to convince someone to give you a job that pays worth a damn. So I figure, since you're the one who said I was gonna be okay, you should be the one to hire me. ED I'd love to help, Erin, but I'm sorry, I have a full staff right now, so ERIN Bullshit. If you had a full staff, you'd have time to return your damn phone calls ED Okay, look. If you really want to apply for a job here, you can do it the way everyone else does. Send in a resume, make an -- ERIN I'm not everyone else, Mr. Masry. I'm someone you made promises to that you didn't deliver on. I trusted you. With my kids' well-being. Now, I'm smart, and I'm hard-working, and I'll do anything. But if you think I'm leaving here without a job, you got another thing coming. ED No benefits. ANNA ... what we do in here is keep track of all the case files. That way, at any time, we can find out a case's status -- where it is in the office, stuff like that. We file 'em all here, alphabetically -- ERIN Oh, hell. I'm dyslexic. ANNA That's a joke, right? JANE Just last week, he told my sister we weren't hiring. BRENDA What's your sister look like? ERIN Mr. Masry? ED Yeah? ERIN I was wondering -- could you tell me who I'd talk to about maybe getting an advance on my paycheck? Just -- for the weekend. ED Jane's the office manager. She handles payroll and petty cash. But she leaves early on Fridays. ERIN Oh. Okay. That's okay. ED Oh, for Christ's sake ... ED All I have is hundreds. ERIN I don't wanna take your money, Mr. Masry. ED Bullshit, you don't.
