Vinny>> Yo! Spud you've got a telephone call.
Spud>> What you need? You're kidding, an emergency, when? Oh man, superior, yeah, no, no problem. They'll understand because it's an emergency. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, Vinny. I have an emergency. These things happen. I've got to run.
Vinny>> Run? We've got this display to finish for tomorrow.
Spud>> What can I say? I mean emergencies happen.
Oscar>> Nice work.
Vinny>> Yeah and that's all of it.
Oscar>> What?
Spud>> Look I'm sorry. I've got an emergency. I wouldn't leave unless it was like a real emergency. You know like your mother dies.
Oscar>> Your mother died?
Spud>> No she's fine.
Oscar>> Your dad?
Spud>> Just great, thanks.
Vinny>> You got a better job?
Spud>> Yeah.
Oscar>> Wait a minute.
Spud>> I said it was an emergency.
Oscar>> I've got six ads coming out in the paper announcing Pagoda Soda 50% off tomorrow. Where am I going to put all this stuff?
Spud>> Well I'm sorry but I've got to help people out when they need me.
Oscar>> I know, I know, it's an emergency job. How much are they paying you for this emergency job?
Spud>> How long does this job last, two days? I got a chance to work straight for a month, that's if I leave right now.
Vinny>> Why dont you make him work?
Spud>> You're going to make me work?
Oscar>>It's too late for me to find another carpenter today. I've got $5,000 merchandise to move tomorrow. I've got some serious trouble.
Spud>>I know, I'm sorry you've got an emergency too, okay.
Oscar>> How about if I paid you a little more?
Spud>> How about if you pay me $5,000 more?
Vinny>> Oscar, Oscar, I can make him work. You can't.
Oscar>> I want my money back.
Spud>> What money?
Oscar>> The $200 I paid you in advance.
Spud>> And I worked eight hours.
Oscar>> I paid you for the entire job.
Spud>> You paid me by the hour.
Oscar>> And there's like an additional $3,000.
Spud>> What?
Oscar>> That's how much I'm going to lose tomorrow.
Spud>> Well not necessarily. You could do this job yourself.
Oscar>> I don't want to do this job myself. I'm not a carpenter.
Spud>> Well, you never took shop?
Oscar>> You owe me the money I paid you and you owe me $3,000.
Vinny>> You owe us to finish the job.
Vinny>> Work.
Spud>> No.
Vinny>> Work buddy or else.
Spud>> You owe me for this shirt.
Oscar>> You can't make him work, Vinny.
Vinny>> Why not?
Oscar>> First off it's the law and secondly, he's already gone.
Vinny>> So what can we do about this?
Oscar>> Find another carpenter.
Vinny>> When, who, how, we ain't got no time.
Oscar>> You.
Vinny>> Me? Okay, it's not my job description but it's an emergency. Okay I'll do it. I did take wood shop.
Oscar>> Thank you, Vinny.
Vinny>> You know, Oscar, emergencies cost money, $50 an hour.
