"Some compete to see who has the biggest rocket." "Others compete to see who can be the fastest." "But no one's more competitive than me and Veronica." " Race you to the elevator?" " Feelin' lucky?" "But it's that drive to win that keeps us at the top of our game." "I win!" "This is the most fun anyone has ever had with hypodermic needles." "It's not over yet." "It's still wobbling." "And it can't come out for at least a minute." "Same rules as for losing your virginity." "Would you two say that you were overly concerned with the outrageous prices of store-bought wrapping paper?" "Yes, we're so concerned, we need to be alone right now." "My daughter is selling wrapping paper to raise money for her school." "Whoever sells the most wins a trip to Disneyland." "Second place gets to cry while Rose and I go to Disneyland." " Uh, Phil will take ten rolls." " What?" "You heard him." "I'd leave now before he changes his mind." "And, Lem, I'll also put you down for ten." "One for each time I told you not to play the needle game." " Ted knows everything we do." " He's like a god, only it hurts more when he judges us." "Hey, do you guys have the specs for the solar-powered ovens?" "I hate coming down here." "Sorry." "Don't worry." "We only play the clean needle game with clean needles." "Here's a band-aid." "And there's your lady shoulder." "Just bring the specs to my desk." "I'll be the one hoping" "I never hear the term "lady shoulder" ever again." "Wait." "I thought we used the last of the band-aids when you wanted to see what I'd look like with a moustache." "These aren't band-aids." "This is that experimental energy patch." "We just drugged Linda." "I owe you an apology, Phil." "When we set out to make energy patch look exactly like a band-aid, I said it couldn't be done." "I was wrong." " We should tell her." " Or... we don't tell her so she doesn't get mad at us again." "I like where this is going." " We're going." "That's it." "It went." " Yeah." "She's just gonna have a little... extra energy." "Why trouble her with something that might force her to yell at us again?" "We're doing her a favor." "That's what's happening here." " So we're even." " Even?" "She owes us." "As you all know, we've been working on" "Veridian's new solar-powered ovens." "We've had a great amount of success with it so far." "If you guys will take a look at the chart." "We're working on a contract for solar-powered ovens, which the military plans to air-drop into remote villages as a goodwill gesture." "It'll be the only thing the military drops that doesn't kill people." " The problem is" " It kills people." "Yeah, the plastic we're using leaches toxins into food." "However, the toxins are only released when the ovens are exposed to sunlight." "Which is the only time solar ovens work." "Some days, it seems like everything we do leaches toxins." "Well, luckily, it can be fixed." "Of course it can." "We can do anything, because this is the greatest scientific team that's ever been assembled." "Let's do it!" "Where is she going?" "To do it?" "Anyway, the solar ovens can be fixed by using a more expensive material." "Now the, uh, plastic in our bomb casings is completely harmless." "Well, it's nice to know people can safely eat off our unexploded bombs." " Thank you, everyone." " Hang on." "We have another problem." " Is this about the wrapping paper?" " No, this is about a little girl's dream... to sell the most wrapping paper." "A dream that is now being challenged by some insanely completive girl named Cynthia." "Did you ever stop to think that maybe you're the insanely competitive one?" "Let me rephrase that." "I'd like five more rolls, please." "Ted, since the military doesn't usually pay more for something that kills fewer people," "I need you to butter up General McMillan over dinner and get some extra money out of them." "Oh, man." "Can't we just hope they don't look at the invoice?" "Come on." "The General respects you, Ted." "Your experience, your charm, the whole package." "Oh, and your package." "Six months ago" "I always enjoy doing business with you, Ted." "Look, I like the general, and I like gay people" " Done." " Wait." "I just don't think it's right to flirt for the sake of a deal." "Besides, he's so grabby." "I mean, whatever happened to romance?" "What if I were to help you sell your daughter's precious toilet paper?" "It's wrapping paper." "It's not my fault I don't listen when you talk." "But fine, whatever." "I can sell anything, Ted." "I once sold a guy on having dinner with a grabby general to help his daughter win a contest." "Really, who?" " Because I haven't agreed to that yet." " You will." "You're that competitive." "Fine." "It's a deal." "If Rose wins, I will have dinner with the general." "But if he tries that "Lady and the Tramp" Spaghetti thing again, I'm outta there." " We need our band-aid back." " What?" "That's gross." "Why do you want it back?" " Because it's ours." " Yeah." " We were just loaning it to you." " Okay, you can have it back..." "But you gotta catch me first." "Got it!" "So I sold... 50 rolls." "Veronica sold... 20 rolls." "And you sold... six." "I only know, like, three grown-ups." "You know, you're kind of a freak about competition, dad." "Competition's important, honey." "It motivates people to do their very best." "Besides, you won't be calling me a freak when I'm wearing my Pluto hat spinning in a teacup." "Wait a minute." "This Cynthia character has sold 15 more rolls than us." " Who is this girl?" " She's new." "You can click on her name" " to find out more about her." " Let's do that." "If you want to crush your competition, which I-- we-- do, you want to get to know everything about them." "How they think, what their interests are..." "What kind of wheelchair they're confined to." "Veridian Dynamics." "Competition." "Whether it's animals or this old woman and baby, fighting to the death..." "Competition makes us stronger." "In business, that means better products." "Pills that look like candy, hands that can shoot lightning and a new generation of hurricane-proof dogs." "Veridian Dynamics." "Veridian Dynamics." "Competition." "Veridian Dynamics." "Competition." "It makes everything better." "We have a problem." "Cynthia, our competition in the wrapping paper contest," " is in a wheelchair." " Ooh." "Yeah, that is a problem." "It gives her a huge competitive advantage." "We're gonna have to step it up." "Wait." "You don't think competing all-out against a girl who's disabled is wrong?" "Wrong?" "How should I know what's wrong?" "I'm not some Greek philosopher." " What does Rose think?" " Ah, she's no help." "I taught her everyone should be treated equally." "Well, then treat everyone equally." "No, you're not supposed to really do that." "You're just supposed to teach it." "Ted, you're a competitor." "You want to win." "You just need to hear it's okay." "No, I don't." "But it is, right?" "Yes, we should treat this Cynthia equally and beat the" "Does she wear pants?" "I think so." "Then let's beat them off her." "Wait." "You just want Rose to win so that I'll go have dinner with General McMillan." "God, it's like you're obsessed with the guy." "Ted, you've got to focus." "This is about selling solar ovens, not your love life." "Linda's crying." "Well, we got the patch off her, so we're good." "Still, she's crying, and we like her, so..." "We should see what's wrong." "Hey, Linda." "What's wrong?" "The Jewish people have had such a tumultuous history." "And yet they were still able to give us this?" "The everything bagel" "It's all you'd ever want in one bagel." "I love it..." "And the chosen people who created it." "Oh, I have been so emotional lately." " Well, maybe it's just" " Why don't you shut up and stop trying to analyze me?" "Do you think wildly erratic emotions could be a residual effect of the energy patch?" "Hard to tell." "This is the problem when the company will only pay for testing on drunk frat guys." " So what do we do?" " I don't know." "We could just stand here without a plan." "I like where this is going." "I can give you 6 rolls for $5 a roll." "Whoa." "That's crazy." "Why, that's well below the current wholesale price." "Too late." "She promised." "I'm getting my checkbook." " We work well together." "Like Batman and" " I'm Batman." " It was my idea..." " I'm Batman!" "And Robin." "Hi, guys." "Hi, best-looking woman in the company, possibly the universe." "Hello, person who clearly wants something from me." "I do want something from you." "I want to know how you got to be so freakin' awesome." "Look at you" " You got it all going on." "You're an incredibly powerful woman, you are so pretty." "And your calves?" "Oh." "They're like granite wrapped in silk." "Is everything okay, Linda?" "You just said a whole bunch of stuff, any one of which would be disturbing on its own." "Disturbing?" "Well, maybe you wouldn't find me disturbing if I was more like Veronica." "Look at me." "I'm more like Veronica." "I'm tilting my head curiously." "I once left the ladies room without washing my hands." "That's right." "I saw you." "Clearly she's lost her mind." "I wouldn't believe a word she said past that calf thing." "Okay, there's something we hoped we'd never have to tell you." "You know how when you accidentally dose someone, like with an experimental energy patch, and you hope they'll sit quietly at their desks, but instead they wander around drawing unnecessary attention to themselves?" "We've done something eerily similar to that." "What?" "You boneheads dosed me?" "I could kill you!" "But then I would miss you so much." "Based on the dose she received, we're confident the effects should wear off within the next 24 hours." "Thank you for your attention and forgiveness." "Stop." "Turn back." "Dosing an employee is a serious offense." "I'm Veronica." "I'm so serious, and I have pee-pee on my hands." "I wash my hands, you drugged up fruitcake." "Okay, here's what's gonna happen." "Okay, here's what's gonna happen." "First, we're gonna cut you a lot of slack and hope you don't say something that gets you fired." "Second, Phil and Lem, you're not gonna let Linda out of your sight until she's completely back to normal." "Look at me." "I'm Linda." "I'm making fun of everyone." "Hey." "Oh, good." "You're still awake." "Crazy day, but..." "Veronica and I sold so much wrapping paper, not only are you going to Disneyland, but Mickey's gonna be wearing your ears on his head." "Oh, wait." "That's a horrifying image." "Everyone at school hates me because I'm beating the disabled girl." "But everybody's equal." "We don't see disabled people." "Well, we see them, we just don't care." "Well, we care, we just don't treat them differently." "Well, they do have their own parking." "Cynthia's had a really hard life, and everyone else is letting her win." "If I win, everyone's gonna be so mad at me," "I won't be able to go to school anymore." "Can we not win, daddy?" "Please?" "I know it's hard for you." "No, it's okay." "We'll let Cynthia win." "Come on." "Mickey will wear her ears." "Thank you, daddy." "Could I sleep with the light on tonight?" " It was the ear thing, wasn't it?" " Little bit." "These cookies are inedible." "I made cookies!" "You made cookies an hour ago." "Eat them!" "This is so much fun, having a sleepover." "Well, Ted wanted us to keep an eye on you, and when we tried to take you to my house, you bit me, so here we are." " There's a penny in this cookie." " Just eat it." "Eat it." "Don't get her mad again." "There's that baby again." "It cries every night." " Babies do that." " Not tonight they don't." "This ends now." "Linda, you can't hurt a baby." "Well, you can hurt them." "They're not indestructible." "I meant it's morally indefensible." " Well, what if the baby killed a man?" " You and your moral puzzles." "I just love 'em." "Answer the door, baby." "I know you're in there." "I can hear you crying." "Linda, what's going on?" " Why are you yelling at Stella?" " Stay out of this, Kathy." "This is between me and the baby... who is just the cutest thing in the world." "Oh, my god." "Look at you." "Hi, Stella." "Can I hold her?" "Please." "I don't think that's a good idea." "So you're saying under no circumstances would you harm the baby Hitler?" "Hey, fellas." "Look what I got... a baby." "I'm naming her Ted." "This is exactly the type of thing the other Ted wanted us to prevent." "Linda?" "Linda?" "win the wrapping paper contest." "She took it better than expected." "You're soft and weak, Ted, like a geisha." "Rose is being teased at school." "She's far more important to me than a wrapping paper contest." "If she wants me to stop selling, I'm stopping." "Fine, quit." "I don't give a crap." "So when are you having dinner with the general?" "I'm not." "Because technically, I only had to do that if Rose won the trip to Disneyland." "If she's not gonna have a magical experience, neither is the general." "Well, if Rose has to win for you to have that dinner, then I'm gonna make sure rose wins." " Then I'm gonna make sure she loses." " Then it is on." "It'll be like two great heavyweights going toe-to-toe, and I'm Ali and Frazier and Foreman." "Sure, I could've just agreed to have dinner with the general to end this thing, but I know I can beat Veronica." "At the company picnic, I beat her in the 3-legged race." "Although, we both lost to something Lem and Phil created in the lab." "I don't get it." "Why do you need to buy back all the wrapping paper?" "Because it's dangerous, Mindy." "It's a choking hazard, it's made of lead and prolonged exposure could cause violent incontinence." "It could stain your hands, stunt your growth and cause testicular desiccation." "Hoof-and-mouth, dry mouth, trench mouth, and if you hold it up to the light, you can see Santa's penis." " Ted." " What?" "What's coming?" "Relax." "I'm okay now." "The effects wore off." "Unfortunately, it was several hours after I stole a baby." " You stole a baby?" " Only for a few seconds." "Turns out, just because you write your name on something doesn't mean you get to keep it." "Yeah, I think babies have to be notarized." "Wait." "Weren't Lem and Phil supposed to be watching you?" "Yeah, there's a lot of things those guys don't do well:" "Watch me, not dose me, stop me before I write my name on a baby." "I'm so pissed at them." "I want payback." "Oh, I'm Linda." "I want payback." "That's my payback." "I got the wrapping paper back from half the people I sold it to." "The other half were willing to risk their lives to see Santa's junk." "That's Rose." "Congratulations, loser." "What?" "What do you mean, you're way ahead?" "Lonny, prepare to cash in your pension, because I have an exciting new investment opportunity." "They're called derivatives, and you can't lose." "Multiple buyers owe a balance of payments on their gift wrap, and so you buy shares of pooled debt, generating long-term dividends with minimal risk." "That's how I bought my house." "I'm in." "Damn, she's good." "Veronica has been busy all afternoon." "She wasn't just gonna hand me my ass, she was gonna hand it to me gift wrapped." "Analysts project that wrapping paper sales are going to improve, so if you buy futures now with the option to sell later, you can anticipate a robust return." "Veronica, what are you doing?" "Sorry, Ted." "I've put Rose so far ahead, there's no way anyone can catch her." "Although, there's a 3% chance she could end up in jail." "Fine." "You win." "I like when that happens, and it happens a lot." "Rose was gonna be upset Cynthia didn't win." "I wasn't thrilled, either, because it meant I had to have a lovely dinner with the General to convince him to pay more for the solar ovens." "A body like a young Mark Spitz." "Well, thank you, General." "I can't hear that enough." "Although, five times is getting pretty close." "So... let's talk business." "I think we can go an additional 10 cents per unit." "Really?" "That-- that's terrific." "You're a handsome man, Ted." "I hope that's not inappropriate for me to say." "It's just a fact." "Everybody's so damn touchy nowadays," "I" " I never know what the rules are." "Time was, all we had to do was kill people." "Now we have to leave them with parting gifts." "Parting gifts." "Are you propositioning me?" "What?" "No." "It's just..." "These solar ovens, they're not meant as handouts." "They're meant as gifts, right?" "And if you want a gift to be appreciated, it should be presented as a gift." "That's interesting." "Of course, coming from that mouth, everything's interesting." "I am a competitive guy." "I make no apologies for that." "If I see a way to win, I'm gonna take it." "And so I sold $5 million of wrapping paper to the military, and I did it in Cynthia's name." "She won the trip to Disneyland," "Rose could keep going to school, and I beat Veronica." "No, you didn't." "You still had to go to dinner with the General." "I sold more wrapping paper than you." "That's not what we were competing over." "It was one of the things we were competing over." "You're so competitive, it's sick." "Not as sick as you." "That's right." "I win." "Again." "Hey, do you think that patch could've had any other side effects?" "Because I" " I've been really itchy lately." "Well, itchiness is a side effect of many drugs." "Sure beats crazy, though, doesn't it?" "I" " I guess." "It's just, my back is so scratchy." "Maybe I should see a doctor or a lawyer or something." "As scientists with very little money, we suggest you don't see a lawyer." " We could take a look." " Would you?" "Feathers?" "She's growing feathers." " Oh, my god." "What do we do?" " Calm down." "Just stay calm." " Feathers." " What?" "Did he just say "feathers"?" "You'll be fine." " Chicken lady!" "Chicken lady!" " No, I can't be a chicken lady." "I have so much I want to do in my life." "I want to get married and have children and glue feathers to my back to mess with idiot scientists who are careless with experimental drugs." "You can still do all those things!" "Oh, wait." "Well, now we're even." "And next time you dose me... you better finish the job." "Hi, Veronica." "Hi, crazy pants." "Listen, about what I said the other day..." "You called me powerful and complimented my calves." "That's all I remember." "Oh, good." "So you're not mad?" "You're obsessed with me, Linda." "I like that about you." "No, I'm not."
