00:00:44 IRVING: All right, Radar. Okay, come on. Let's go.
00:05:25 MARK: Going good? HELLY: Yep.
00:05:26 MARK: Yeah?
00:05:29 MARK: Think you'll have it by… HELLY: I'll get there.
00:05:54 DYLAN:She's not gonna make it, is she? MARK: You should be at your desks.
00:05:57 DYLAN: We've both been done a week. What is there to do?
00:05:59 DYLAN: Is she gonna make it? MARK: She's gonna make it.
00:06:01 IRVING: Mark.
00:06:02 MARK: Yes?
00:06:03 IRVING: Don't laugh. MARK: At?
00:06:06 IRVING: I just wonder if it might be helpful for us to stand behind her and perhaps chant her name.
00:06:15 MARK: Okay. She'll make it. Just let her focus.
00:06:28 COBEL: How's she doing?
00:06:30 MILCHICK: Gonna be down to the wire.
00:06:38 COBEL: She'll make it.
00:06:40 COBEL: Let's prep for when she makes it.
00:06:48 COBEL: Oh. And I want to schedule a end-of-the quarter wellness session for Mark…one last time.
00:06:57 MILCHICK: Really?
00:07:04 COBEL: Seth. I know that this has been a trying quarter, and you have availed yourself well. Mr. Graner sits with Kier now, and I imagine they're both very satisfied with you.
00:07:52 HELLY: Hey.
00:07:55 MARK: Did you…
00:07:57 HELLY: I think I did.
00:08:13 DYLAN: She do it? MARK: She did it!
00:08:17 DYLAN: Fuck and yes.
00:08:19 IRVING: Oh, my goodness.
00:08:41 KIER EAGAN: I knew you could do it, Helly.R. Even in your darkest moments, I could see you arriving here. In refining your macrodata file, you have brought glory to this company and to me. Kier Eagan. I… I love you. But now I must away, for there are others who need me around the world. Goodbye, Helly.R, and thank you.
00:09:26 DYLAN: Boom! That's quota. We did it.
00:09:30 MARK: Good work.
00:09:36 IRVING: So it's on now?
00:09:53 COBEL: Oh, Mark. I don't know how you knew for the end of the quarter I wanted a heart attack.
00:10:02 MARK: Well, we made it, despite a staffing shake-up.
00:10:05 COBEL: Yes, and spending half of your time farting around the halls. Still, yes. You made it. Have you decided who you want to stay for the Waffle Party?
00:10:16 MARK: I was thinking Dylan.
00:10:21 COBEL: You know you can choose yourself or anyone but Dylan.
00:10:25 MARK: Yeah, but it's more his thing, and he really worked hard.
00:10:37 COBEL: Well, I'll make the arrangements.
00:10:39 MARK: Great. COBEL: But before you celebrate, I'd like you to drop by Wellness.
00:10:43 MARK: Really?
00:10:44 COBEL: Yes. I'm having all department heads do it end-of-quarter. With all this stress, and Mr. Graner retiring and everything.
00:10:54 MARK: Of course.
00:11:01 COBEL: Mark, all sarcasm aside…
00:11:04 MARK: Yeah.
00:11:07 COBEL: Thank you.
00:11:10 COBEL: I…Lumon needed this.
00:11:29 MARK: Ms. Casey.
00:11:38 MARK: Where'd the tree go?
00:11:43 MS. CASEY: You can have a seat.
00:11:49 MARK: Why's everything in boxes?
00:11:53 MS. CASEY: Evidently Lumon's been blessed with a new wellness director. So I'll be retiring at the conclusion of this session, and the room is…
00:12:01 MARK: What? Wait. When did they tell you?
00:12:07 MS. CASEY: Just now. Just a moment ago.
00:12:30 MS. CASEY: Mark.S, you have successfully led your department, Macrodata Refinement, to meet their quarterly quota, and are thus eligible for this special, augmented wellness session.
00:12:44 MARK: I didn't think you'd get fired.
00:12:49 MS. CASEY: “Your outie is kind.” Your outie has brightened people's days by merely smiling. Your outie makes time for people, even when…
00:13:02 MARK: Hey, let me talk to somebody.
00:13:16 MS. CASEY: I really liked being in the office with you all that day.
00:13:22 MS. CASEY: I know I vexed you. I know I'm… strange.
00:13:27 MARK: No, you're not strange.
00:13:31 MS. CASEY: My life has been 107 hours long. Most of that has been these half-hour sessions.
00:13:39 MS. CASEY: For me, my favorite time was the eight hours I spent in your department watching Helly. It's the longest I've ever been awake. I suppose it's what you could call my good old days.
00:14:04 MARK: There must be something we can do.
00:14:16 MS. CASEY: Why do you care what happens to me?
00:14:31 MARK: Because we're people, not parts of people.
00:14:36 MARK: Even with what little they gave us, these are our lives.
00:14:40 MARK: No one gets to just turn you off.
00:14:48 MS. CASEY: You're nice, Mark.
00:15:07 MS. CASEY: “Your outie is kind.” Your outie can set up a tent in under three minutes. Your outie knows a beautiful rock from a plain one. Your outie likes giving…
00:15:27 MILCHICK: You know it's good, right? That they don't remember each other?
00:15:34 MILCHICK: It means the chips work. It's a win.
00:15:43 COBEL: Take her back down to the Testing Floor, please.
00:16:45 MS. CASEY: Do you know if I'm happy up there?
00:16:50 MILCHICK: Of course. You do all sorts of wonderful things.
00:17:12 MS. CASEY: Could I just… MILCHICK: I'm sorry.
00:17:15 MILCHICK: I just have so much to do today.
00:17:17 MILCHICK: On you go.
00:17:58 HELLY: Mark. IRVING: Where were you?
00:18:00 MARK: They gave me a wellness check.
00:18:03 MARK: Okay. You're all set for the waffle party.
00:18:06 DYLAN: How's Ms. Casey? I mean, I'm over her, but I still wanna be friends.
00:18:12 MARK: They fired her. DYLAN: What?
00:18:14 MARK: Yeah. She just found out.
00:18:15 HELLY: Well, can we help her? Is there anything we can do?
00:18:18 MARK: I don't know.
00:18:22 MARK: Is everyone sure they wanna do this?
00:18:25 MILCHICK: Any Macrodats ready to party?
00:18:28 MARK: Yeah.
00:18:33 MILCHICK: Dylan G.'s waffle party will commence at close of day. In the meantime, I've ordered the Pre-Waffle Party Egg Bar Social for everyone.
00:18:42 DYLAN: Yes! Pay dirt! Yeah!
00:18:45 MILCHICK: All of you deserve this for reaching quota.
00:18:49 MILCHICK: But before we begin…a very special gift for a very special Dylan.
00:18:58 MILCHICK: Our three-time R of the Q! A man whose mind is as sharp as his incisors.
00:19:05 MILCHICK: Right, bud?
00:19:14 HELLY: Open it.
00:19:15 DYLAN: Yeah, I bet you'd like that, fuckers. But my prize, my eyes, so…
00:19:19 MILCHICK: Maybe you should show them, Dylan. Show them what you requested.
00:19:25 MARK: Yeah, show us, man.
00:19:27 DYLAN: Fine.
00:19:41 MILCHICK: Okay, yeah. Let's switch up the vibe in here.
00:19:50 MARK: Good?
00:20:13 HELLY: Jesus, this is actually good.
00:20:16 DYLAN: Yeah, the egg bar is coveted as fuck.
00:20:27 Look at this thing over here.
00:20:29 Looking good.
00:20:39 I should be the one to stay behind.
00:20:41 Nope.
00:20:44 Don't you wanna see your kid again?
00:20:47 What we're doing tonight is just the first step.
00:20:54 Are you sure?
00:21:23 Helly R. Attempted suicide three weeks ago.
00:21:28 Yes, she did.
00:21:32 How could you not tell us?
00:21:36 Did Milchick give you those?
00:21:39 Answer the question.
00:21:43 Am I speaking with the Board?
00:21:47 We also know that you've been spending time
00:21:49 at the home of Mark Scout's sister.
00:21:55 Right.
00:21:57 It has been decided that you be suspended from your position, effective immediately.
00:22:03 You are fired.
00:22:06 Go…
00:22:10 Oh, fuck off, Natalie!
00:22:14 Is the Board even there?
00:22:22 Yes.
00:22:33 I'm sorry. That was rude.
00:22:36 I can explain everything to the Board tonight, please.
00:22:44 The Board has concluded the call.
00:23:22 “Endow in each swing of your ax
00:23:25 or swipe of your pen the sum of your affections,
00:23:30 that through me they may be purified
00:23:34 and returned.
00:23:39 No higher purpose may be found than this.
00:23:44 “Nor any… higher love.”
00:24:18 I figured it out.
00:24:20 The goats lay the eggs.
00:24:22 Oh, my God. You got it!
00:24:39 You scared about tonight?
00:24:44 Yeah.
00:24:48 I'm scared of getting caught.
00:24:55 They left us unattended, and thought we'd be too dumb to notice.
00:24:59 They won't see this coming.
00:25:05 Or we won't wake up.
00:25:17 Or we're all assholes out there.
00:25:20 Well, that's a given for me.
00:25:26 You know, I just hope it turns out I have things I care about.
00:25:31 Like, for real.
00:25:35 You pretended to care about me pretty well.
00:25:43 You're easy to pretend to care about.
00:25:53 Thank you.
00:25:56 As are you.
00:25:58 Thanks.
00:26:03 Okay, Refiners!
00:26:05 I need to see about a management issue, and this party is over.
00:26:09 I'll leave the food.
00:26:11 Thank you, Mr. Milchick.
00:26:13 Dylan, I'll be back to escort you to perpetuity shortly.
00:26:53 Key card.
00:27:10 On you go then.
00:27:34 Okay, look, you don't mess with any other departments.
00:27:37 - It's just us three. - I know.
00:27:39 The machine's designed to be operated by two…
00:27:41 Two people. I'll be fine.
00:27:42 Can I have the stuff, please?
00:27:51 Now, look, it's likely we'll all wake up around people.
00:27:54 Could be driving or skiing, whatever we do up there.
00:27:57 So be ready for anything as you go up the elevator.
00:28:00 Okay?
00:28:01 The important thing is you find someone it seems you can trust,
00:28:04 and you tell them everything.
00:28:07 And we don't know how long Dylan will be able to give us,
00:28:09 so we can't get distracted digging into our lives.
00:28:11 Right. The mission is the priority.
00:28:20 I probably should've told you guys…
00:28:27 But I kept this.
00:28:31 And there was a part of it that…
00:28:35 Well…
00:28:42 “Our job… is to taste free air.”
00:28:48 Your so-called boss may own the clock that taunts you from the wall.
00:28:54 - But, my…” - “But, my friends, the hour is yours.”
00:29:02 Page 197 slaps.
00:29:20 Okay, kids.
00:29:25 Let's find out what's for dinner.
00:29:34 You think we're about to meet our spouses?
00:29:37 Maybe.
00:29:39 Maybe it's each other.
00:29:42 That'd be a hoot.
00:29:43 Yeah.
00:29:45 Yeah, like, mid-argument over car wash coupons.
00:29:50 “Honey, you're cutting them wrong!”
00:30:00 - Okay. - All right.
00:30:26 In case we don't come back.
00:30:29 Or, I don't know, in case we do?
00:30:31 Right.
00:30:39 Good luck out there, boss.
00:31:11 “Type. Trackball. Type. Flip.
00:31:13 Trackball. Enter. Shift. Enter.”
00:31:20 Okay.
00:31:22 Are you ready, Dylan G.?
00:31:28 Dylan G.?
00:31:30 I'll be out in a minute!
00:31:31 “Select, flip….”
00:32:35 Enjoy.
00:33:40 Fuck her goddamn soul forever into hell!
00:33:44 Filth and fucking fire until she fucking dies!
00:33:50 Fuck her and her fucking fake smile!
00:33:55 Oh, God.
00:33:57 Fuck her goddamn soul!
00:36:10 No.
00:36:25 Why?
00:37:32 Mark.
00:37:35 Hi, Mrs. Selvig.
00:37:36 Sorry to just pop over…
00:37:37 Yes? What is it?
00:37:40 Well, I'm headed to Devon and Ricken's.
00:37:43 - They have that party tonight. - And?
00:37:45 Well, Devon asked me to double-check, see if you're interested in coming.
00:37:52 I am sorry, Mark. I'm just… I'm not feeling quite myself this evening.
00:37:58 Oh, no. I get it.
00:38:01 I mean, it's not a funeral. So…
00:38:10 You know, maybe I could drive my own car.
00:38:14 Yes!
00:38:16 And that way I could leave if I'm uncomfortable or afraid.
00:38:19 Sure, yeah. That sounds great.
00:38:30 Hey.
00:38:36 Did you miss me?
00:39:19 - The elusive Mark. - Never thought of myself as elusive.
00:39:24 Welcome. Welcome.
00:39:26 Okay. The reading starts in eight minutes.
00:39:31 Mark, you've got your copy to follow along, yes?
00:39:34 I… You know, I think I left it by my bed.
00:39:40 Shoot. Really?
00:39:42 - Okay, shoot! - Indeed. Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:39:44 And it's a 15-minute drive back, so you could still catch…
00:39:48 You know what? It's fine.
00:39:49 - Unless you want to. - Well…
00:39:51 My friends.
00:39:52 - Hey. - Hi.
00:39:53 Baby's first party for Daddy.
00:39:56 Look, she's so drunk.
00:39:57 So there is so much food in there.
00:39:59 Rebeck! She may be willing to share her copy with you.
00:40:03 But I should ask her directly, or she might be offended.
00:40:06 - Excuse me. - Okay.
00:40:09 - He is on it. - I know.
00:40:12 - Sister and brother. - Alone at last.
00:40:13 Gross. Hey, do you wanna give me your coat?
00:40:17 This is nice.
00:40:18 - Yeah? - Yeah.
00:40:20 - You're a good wife and mother and stuff. - Thanks.
00:40:24 Oh, yeah. All glory unto Devon.
00:40:27 Yeah, all glory, and screw you.
00:40:29 - Hey, we should talk later. - Yeah?
00:40:31 Yeah. I've been pondering a decently-sized life change.
00:40:35 Uh-oh.
00:40:36 Well, I gotta float around and host, but thank you for being here.
00:40:39 - Yeah, of course. Yeah. - Come here.
00:40:44 Watch for leakies, Mark.
00:40:45 Hi, Mrs. Selvig.
00:41:19 But, Mark,
00:41:21 I am sorry I was so terse before.
00:41:24 Oh, no, no, no.
00:41:27 I just had a bad day at the shop.
00:41:30 Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But it's… Glad you're here now.
00:41:36 Yeah.
00:41:38 Work's just work, right?
00:41:45 Yes.
00:42:23 Okay.
00:42:27 Okay, “Trackball, track… Flip timing switch. Type in. Trackball.”
00:42:33 Okay, so this is…
00:42:35 Where's… Where's MDR?
00:42:39 Shift.
00:42:45 Manage.
00:42:48 Confirm. Okay.
00:42:55 That's…
00:43:00 “Function.” Boom.
00:43:07 Okay. Helly R.
00:43:13 Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:43:15 Mark.
00:43:19 All right. Irving.
00:43:43 Fuck.
00:43:45 Okay, “flip.”
00:43:48 Irving, Helly, Mark.
00:43:54 Well, anyway, I should probabl…
00:43:55 - I don't mean to be nosy, but… - No, no.
00:43:57 …I heard you say to Devon something about a life change?
00:44:05 Well, I was gonna have a talk with her about my job actually.
00:44:11 At Lumon?
00:44:12 Yeah.
00:44:14 I was gonna tell her that I'm thinking I might quit.
00:44:20 Quit?
00:44:25 “Beehive.”
00:44:29 “Lullaby, open house, overtime.”
00:44:31 Yes.
00:44:32 Are you serious?
00:44:34 Yeah. I just…
00:44:37 This severance thing, it…
00:44:42 Not sure I need it anymore.
00:44:56 Okay.
00:44:59 “Now find… A.”
00:45:05 Great.
00:45:06 Do it.
00:45:08 Shit.
00:45:12 Come on.
00:45:14 Get away from them, Mark.
00:45:25 Come here.
