"All I'm saying is, there's no good reality television anymore." "Everything is so scripted." "I wanna see something real." "Well, you could just watch an actual documentary." "What am I, a lesbian?" "That one with the penguins was pretty legit, with Morgan Freeman?" "And, man, that guy can narrate." "I don't care how silky or inspiring his voice is." "I don't want to see a documentary about penguins." "What if the penguins got hammered off of body shots, formed a couple of alliances, and had night-vision sex in a hot tub?" "I'm listening." "I'd watch the ass out of that." "[Jane] I'm pretty sure penguins wouldn't survive in a hot tub." "I got the promotion." "[All cheer] I know!" "You know what else you could do with those penguins, though?" "You put 'em all in a loft in Tribeca, give 'em 48 hours to redecorate the place..." "Or we could talk about your thing." "Promotion!" "I'm so excited." "I get a raise, I get a bigger office, and the best part is, I get an assistant." "Nice." "You're gonna love having an assistant." "They do all the boring stuff you don't wanna do, like get your dry cleaning or buying anniversary presents for your... your mailman." "Oh." "I am just so psyched, because I have had such terrible bosses, and now I get to be, like, the cool boss, you know, less "Devil Wears Prada,"" "more Angel Wears Business Caszhe." "You should be cool." "Okay, in high school, my boss was such a jerk," "I used to mess up orders just to get back at him." "Al, you worked at a pharmacy." "Don't make me come in on Memorial Day." "Mm.." "[Brad] Damn, girl, you sassy!" "Don't make this little white girl do nothin'." "Don't make do nothin'." "Y'all heard!" "Happy Endings Episode 13 "Why Can't You Read Me?"" "I'm telling you, penguins in a loft is not gonna work." "I feel like I've seen that before." "Now you replace the penguins with hasidic Jews and you change the loft to a houseboat, you got a show." "Jews Cruise." "I like it." "You know who would be the awesomest host?" "Brooke Burns." "Mike Ditka." "Mike Ditka" "All-time winning-est Bears head coach, all-time winning-est hair." "Pretty sure you could pay him in steak." "All right, ladies, two beers, double shot of Tequila." " I didn't order that." " I know." "I just can't keep serving an adult man sangria." "But I like the fruit." "Yeah, you and me are gonna have to work on that." "And F.Y.I., the all-time winning-est Bears coach is George Halas, not Mike Ditka." "[Brad] Hmm." "[Scoffs] Whoa!" "Dude, that girl's super into you." "Too bad she's not your type." "What?" "I don't have a type." "Come on, bro." "You like girlie girls." "Tough girls aren't your thing." "I like tough girls." "Real tough... men." " So you guys saying I can't handle a tough chick?" " Nope." "Mnh-mnh." "Mnh-mnh." "I'm tough." "But I'm super tough." "[Exhales deeply]" "Hi." "Hi." " I was the guy at the table that you brought the..." " Yeah." "Um, I don't know if this is weird or- 'cause I'm a patron," " and you work here, but..." " Oh, just pull up your skirt and ask me out." "Actually, it's, um, a slim-fit... jean, you know?" "Uh..." "Yeah, let's hang out." "[Both] Yeah!" "Oh!" "Ooh." "Hey, I just heard about this midweek spa deal- 2-for-1 mani-pedis." "You wanna go tonight?" "Ah, I can't." "I have pilates." "Oh, you meant Jane." "I can't go either." "I've got a meeting for my adult literacy organization." "I need to start doing more good, you know?" "Hey, maybe I could help." "Yeah, I don't think you'd like it." "It is a ton of work, with the planning and the patiently sitting around, waiting for them to sound out even the simplest words." "Eee." "Ugh." "It's-you're not missing anything." "Trust me." "Okay, well, I guess I'll see you guys later then." "Thanks for breakfast." "You're welcome." "Okay." "I know, I know." "That was a crappy thing to do." "It's just that this literacy group is my thing, and Alex always has a way of kinda coming in and stealing all the attention." "In the year A.D. 89," "Titus Flavius domitian ordered the construction of the hypogeum catacombs" "Look at me, daddy!" "I'm emperor cloppy-shoes." "[Woman] Look at you!" "Cloppy, cloppy." "[Laughter] Cloppy, cloppy, cloppy." "Oh, you're adorable, honey. [Applause]" "I've been working on this thing for so long." "I mean, the graduation is kinda my time to shine." "I mean, also the readers' time to shine, but me, too, 'cause I've been working on my emcee jokes, and..." "This whole thing is just super important to me." "[Snickers]" "Sorry." "I can't stop thinking about your sister's little feet in your dad's shoes." "[Laughs]" "Must have been hilarious!" "Hey, Ree-Ree!" "Hey, Pee-Pee!" "Yeah, we're gonna need a little brainstorming session on my nickname." "Here's your dry cleaning and your new cell phone." "I transferred your personal contacts to your new one so you can use the old one for work." "Hey, this looks complicated." "[Phone camera shutter clicks] And I just took a picture of my cleavage." "[Cell phone alert dings] And, yep, I just e-mailed it to my stepdad." "Oh, hey, Ree-Ree, one tiny scooch." "It says here on the bill you got $50 cash back?" "Oh, my God." "I totally forgot to mention that." "I just used $10 for lunch." "I was getting your phone." "I didn't have time to go to the bank." "I am so sorry." "Let me get you your change." "Ree-Ree, come on." "I'm the cool boss." "I am like Tina Fey, okay?" "And I am totes down with you borrowing a little extra cash-ish in an emergency." "Oh." "Okay." "Thanks." "Oh." "You just pocket that change 'cause I probably would've blown it on rent or groceries." "Pizza, we've got "Sportscenter," and not to go out on a limb here, but that was some pretty decent lovemaking, if I do say so myself." "Am I right?" "Yeah, totally." "It was really, really fine." "[Tv playing indistinctly]" "So, uh..." "What's-what's up with all the lacrosse stuff?" "I'm a division 3 women's lacrosse coach." "Then why do you waitress?" "Because I'm a division 3 women's lacrosse coach." "Right." "Mm." "Cool." "[Sighs]" "So when you said before that the lovemaking was fine, did you mean just fine, or did you mean, like- like, '90s fine, like, "Girl, you're so fine"?" "[Laughs] Um..." "You know, it was good." "I just was hoping next time we could be..." "a little more adventurous?" "I mean, haven't you ever had any fantasies?" "Um..." "Well, I have always fantasized about doing it under a waterfall or maybe in the woods or maybe in a room, surrounded by thousands of candles, white, shrouded curtains blowing in from the wind outside." "So you want to have sex like you're in a Color Me Badd video?" "Kinda." "Maybe we can play Color Me Badd in the background while we make our own video." "Like a Color Me Badd tribute video?" "Oh, you mean a sex tape." "Yeah." "That makes so much more sense." "Yeah." "[Cell phone rings] Penny keeps pocket-dialing me from her new phone." "[Penny] ♪ How will I know if he really loves me?"

"Food-Lauren, I have you down for three quiches," "Barbara, two quiches, and, Keisha, two hams." "[Laughter]" "I know, I know." "It's hilarious." "But, uh, all jokes aside, we're counting on those hams." "Ladies, let's all thank Jane for her tireless planning and hard work." "To Jane." "[Women] Jane." "Oh, well, I do my best." "Hi, ladies." "Oh, who's this?" "[Door closes] [Clears throat] That's Alex, my sister." "Whatcha doing here, Al?" "Well, I was in the middle of my mani-pedi, and I realized, you know, what am I doing with my time?" "So I went online, and did you guys know that two-thirds of illiterates are women and that 98% of illiterates come from developing countries, and the word "pope" is actually from the Greek "pappas,"" "which means "father"?" "I'm sorry." "I got caught up in a Wikipedia hole, and once it has you, you can't get out." "So..." "Whew!" "[Women laugh]" "Ha ha!" "Anyway, yeah." "So what are we doing, y'all?" ""Y'all"?" "We were just planning our graduation event..." "Oh." "For our new readers." "Oh, how fun." "I actually had a thought on that, too." "What if we served sugar cookies in the shape of letters?" "What do you think?" "[Women murmuring] No, I don't..." "It's a genius idea, right, Jane?" "[Alex] It came to me." "Yes." "Yes." "Genius." "Thank you." "[Mouths word] [Laughter]" "It's happening again, Brad." "Alex swoops in, and everyone falls all over themselves because she says," ""Oh, hey, I'll make cookies in the shapes of letters."" "That's genius." "Genius?" "Really?" "Come on, babe." "You're making too big a deal of this." "Everybody knows your hard work means more than her cookies." "Save me a "B," though." "They're the best." "They all taste the same." "But the "B" is for my name." "[Mouths word]" "[Siren wailing in distance]" "Dude, I thought we were going to lunch." "Why aren't you dressed?" "[People speaking indistinctly over cell phone]" "Penny didn't turn her phone off all night." " What do you mean?" " I mean I've been listening to her insane life." "Over the past 24 hours," "I've heard her flirt her way out of a parking ticket, flirt her way into a date with an allergist, and have an extremely long and awkward standoff with a quart of Cherry Garcia." "It's the best new reality show." ""Project:" "Penny." Dude, that is so wrong." "I know." "It's also insanely addictive." "And the supporting cast is unbelievable." "I mean, the new, fiery Latin assistant Rita- loyal employee or crazy grifter?" "You be the judge." "She's with her now." "You want to take off tomorrow for Ramadan?" "Now there can't be Muslim Mexicans?" "Oh, no, there can." "It's just that you also left early yesterday for the christening of your nephew Jésus Morales." " Okay, I'm in." " Yeah." "[Wheezes]" "High five." "No?" "All right." "Can I get you a towel," "Patrick Ewing from the free-throw line?" "Yeah, drippy longstocking." "Excuse me?" "I can do better." "[Panting] Guys, I gotta get in shape quick." "The waitress from Rosalita's wants to make a sex tape." " Wow, that is an awesome..." " I know!" " ly... bad idea." "Yeah, you're not good on camera, bro." "Remember journalism class junior year?" "And in sports, the Cubs played the, uh, San" "Touchdown." "Can I get a- can I get a sandwich?" "[Woman] Oh!" "I've been on camera plenty of times since then." "Uh, Bulls game, '05, kiss cam - nailed it." "Okay, if you're gonna do this sex tape, couple things" "One-make sure she shoots you from the right side, 'cause from the left, you look like a troll." "Huh?" "Two-get a tan." "You're pretty white." "You're like the ghost of Tilda Swinton." "Three-I was super serious about that troll thing, and not a like a "cute doll with the hair" troll, like a "distract you with a crystal and steal your baby" troll." "Yeah." "Look at him-like there." "Ooh." "Yeah, there is is." "Where?" "There it's fine, and then ooh." "Cheese." ""Tizley." "Tizley." "Tiz..."" ""Tizzle-top-tufted mazurka."" ""Mazurka." You know, my bad." "I shouldn't have picked a book with 85% made-up words." "Sorry." "Yeah." "[Door opens and closes] Hi." "I'm Alex, Jane's sister." "Hi." "I'm Paul." "Very nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." " Okay, so I gotta run." "So I will see you at graduation?" " Yes. "C-u" then." "Ah." "That is not actually how you spell "see" or "you."" "Okay." "Bye, Paul." "Can I borrow your mixer?" "Well, you know, you might want to hold off on the cookies, Al." "[Door closes] After you left, the women were talking, and they-they weren't really into the idea." "What?" "I thought they loved it." "Yeah, but I guess they thought they could be a little confusing to the students, too." "I mean, is the cookie a lowercase "I"?" "Is it a capital "I"?" "I mean, something like that, for a new reader, could really set 'em back." "We can put the little thingies on the I's to clarify." "You know, I don't think this is a serif issue, Al." "I mean, I tried to talk to them, but they were" "I mean, they were really firm on this one." "Wow." "Maybe I just won't come at all then." "Ooh." "That's a bummer, but I totally get it." "You gotta do you." "I can't believe that we made a sex tape." "I know." "You wanna watch it?" "Already?" "Yeah, pop it in." "Okay." "[Beep] Oh." "Oh, look, it's me." "I love how you're coming at me here, all confident." "Super cute." "Thank you." "But this is where it all starts to fall apart for me." "[Beeping] Your first kiss is a little sloppy." "You're all over the face, probably 'cause your balance is off." "It's a core-strength issue." "See?" "[Beeps]" "Let's jump ahead to the last two minutes, shall we?" "You have got a ton of raw ability, but your fundamentals are off." "It affects your footwork, your rhythm." "What's happening?" "By the time you get into the red zone, you're exhausted and you're barely paying attention to what the other team is doing at all." "Boom. [Tap, beep]" "You missed a major scoring opportunity." "Mm." "Hey, Ree-Ree, that liquor company we did that event for" " sent over a few bottles of vodka." "You want one?" " Way ahead of you, Pee-Pee." "I already grabbed a couple." "Want to try some?" "I'm all set." "It's good stuff." "It's noon." "Ooh." "This is bad, man." "The cool boss thing's not working for her at all." "Ree-Ree's totally taking advantage." " We gotta talk to penny." " We can't." "Then she'll know we've been spying on her." "Plus, if we step in, we're no better than all the other bad reality shows." "We gotta respect the documentarian's code." "Really?" "So this code you can't break, but the "don't apply for a boat license in my name" code is fair game?" "Well, how am I supposed to rent a boat using your credit card?" "[Indistinct conversations]" "[Door closes] Alex, hi." "Good to see you." "Oh, is it good to see me, Barbara?" "If that's even your real name." "Excuse me?" "I can't believe you guys." "I come over here, excited to help people, and then you pretend to like my ideas," " and as soon as I leave, you call them dumb." " Alex, no one said that." "We were all sad when Jane told us you'd be out of town for the graduation, at Epcot." "Time to frost the letter cookies!" "Okay, I have "A," "E," "I"..." "Oh." "You." "Why would you lie to me?" "And why would you say I went to Epcot?" "That is so weirdly specific." "I panicked." "Okay, look, Al," "I am not proud of my behavior." "I know that it's petty." "It's just-I work really hard for a long time on something, it's my thing, and then you just swoop in at the last second and steal all the attention, and everyone goes, "Ooh!"" "I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm outta here. [Bang]" "[Women] Ooh!" "So she broke your sex tape down like it was game film?" "Yeah, and she wasn't super complimentary either." "Dude, she's a coach." "It's constructive criticism." "Fact - last year, Rockford University's women's lacrosse team - 3 and 27." "[Clink]" "This year - 29 and 1. [Bottle caps clink]" "Only difference - new coach Kim Groff." "She's a winner, dude." "What?" "I can't Google your lady?" " It sorta sucks because she's kinda awesome." " So she has one little foible." " [Whispers] Foible?" " Who knows?" "Maybe in the end, it'll be a positive." "We can all stand to learn a little bit more about the old bathing suit area." "Of course by "we all,"" "I mean "you guys," 'cause I'm gifted." "You gotta get back on the horse, dude." "The greats don't quit after one bad day." "I mean, did Babe Ruth quit after his sex tape was criticized?" " No, he went right out and made another sex tape." " Hmm." "[Telephone lines ringing] I know." "That guest list was supposed to be sent over two hours ago." "I am so-I am so sorry." "Could you please hold?" "Rita, where have you been all day?" "I'm slammed." "Uh, I had a family emergency." "At the mall?" "I'm gonna call you right back." "We gotta talk. [Receiver clicks]" "Rita, I feel like you're taking advantage of me 'cause I'm the cool boss." "Oh, I get it." "This is because I'm Mexican." "No." "This is just, you know, in a work environment, we both have roles- Face it, Pee-Pee." "You're a racist." "What?" "Wow." "Rita's going to the white-guilt angle pretty fast." "Yeah, took me years to do that with you guys." "By the way, can I have your TV?" "You know, slavery and whatnot?" "I am so not a racist." "I mean, the first guy who felt me up was a Guatemalan." "[Chuckles] Next you'll be telling me you're not a racist because you have a black friend." "But I do." "I do." "We gotta do somethin'." "I mean, I love "Project:" "Penny," but this has gone too far." "Yeah, Ree-Ree's making Pee-Pee cray-cray." "It's time for her to go downtown." "No." "Mnh-mnh." "You say the words regular." "I didn't think I'd be seeing you again." "Why, because I was intimidated?" "Because I wasn't." "Let's get physical." "Pop that tape in again, would you?" "Ooh." "Okay." "[Beep] [Kim laughs]" "Wow." "I did not realize my calves were so defined, and that is not me." "Oops." "Wrong Dave." "But while I have it up, you could actually learn something from this guy." "See, he's got an unorthodox wide stance, but that's where all his power comes from." "Oh!" "You know who you should check out?" "Mm." "[Beeps] Jason, fall 2008." "We were in a piles of leaves, so it's kinda hard to see, but" "And..." "I'm out." "Rita?" "Too brown." "Rita?" "No?" "[Max] Rita?" "Hmm?" "[Brad laughs] Rita." "[Inhales sharply] Rita, Rita, Rita." "We know you've been taking advantage of your employer, Penny Hartz." "Who are you?" "Company security." "I'm senior agent Maxfield." "This is my junior agent, Bradson." "Ah, we're actually pretty equal." "It's political." "His dad owns the company, so..." "I think I've earned it n my own merits," " plus it's been harder for me 'cause of my father." " Debatable." "The point is, we have evidence of criminal misconduct." "We got cameras everywhere. [Snaps fingers]" "That stapler on your desk - not a camera." "Boom." "Keeping you guessing." "Where are the cameras?" "Everywhere." "Guys, please, okay, I'll do anything you want." "I'll give back all the money that I stole from the company." "Uh..." "Uh, m-mon-yeah." "Y-yeah." "Give back the money." "Definitely do that." "But before you definitely do that, we need you to do something else, too." "I was wrong." "You're not a racist." "You have Nelson Mandela's heart and Michelle Obama's arms." "Oh!" "But I'm afraid I'll have to quit." "What?" "Why?" "I don't deserve you." " Neither does that... allergist that you're dating." " You're right." "You're the coolest boss I've ever had." "Thank you." " Good-bye, Pee-Pee." " Bye, Ree-Ree." "[Door opens]" "[Door closes]" "Okay." "I gotta ask you something." "Yes, sometimes you like to make yourself the center of attention." "What?" "How did you know that?" "Alex, I've known you for a long time." "I know how you think." " Really?" " No, of course not." "I talked to Jane." "If I knew how you thought," "I'd understand why you bought me this apron" " with a picture of a monkey standing next to a barbecue pit." " It says "King of the Grill-a."" "Yeah, I read the apron." "Do I really do that?" "Do I steal attention?" "Let's just say after our wedding, no one was talking about the flowers." "Okay, look, I'm sure deep down, Jane knows that you don't intentionally try to steal focus." "It doesn't mean that it hurts her any less." "Yeah." " The word "grill" as in "gorilla." That's the point." " Shh." ""Mr. Mittens realized the black cat chasing him..."" "Seriously?" "Another "q"?" "How many Quentins were they expecting?" ""..." "And his new best friend."" "That was great, Ellen." "Thank you." "Is that a library book?" "No." "Speaking of library books, what is the deal with library fines, huh?" "I'd rather have Ralph Fiennes." "Right, ladies?" "Ha ha!" "[Laughs]" "Hmm?" "[Laughs]" "[Clears throat] All right, next up, we have Paul Petley reading "If I Ran the Zoo" by Dr. Seuss." "What if it were written by Dr. Dre instead?" "It wouldn't be "Hooked on Phonics."" "It'd be "Hooked on Chronic"... what?" "[Laughs]" "Come on." "All right." "Paul Petley, everyone." "Okay." "Actually, I'm not gonna be reading "If I Ran the Zoo" right now." "Instead, I'm gonna be reading a very special letter." "[Sighs]" ""Dear Jane, you are an amazing person."" "[Chuckles]" ""I want to be you." ""I used to go into your closet when you weren't around and put on your clothes." All righty." ""You're my sister, and I never meant to steal your spotlight." ""You set such a high standard." ""I've spent my whole life trying to keep up." ""You are an e-exta" ""exta-ex-extraor..." "Or..."" ""Extraordinary person and the best sister ever." "I love you."" "[Sighs]" "I'm-I am so sorry." "I feel like an idiot." "It's just, I don't know." "Sometimes I wanna be the one that comes in and makes everyone laugh." "But I never should have excluded you." "It's okay." "Honestly... [lowered voice] I'm not interested in any of this anyway." "[Laughs] So..." "Okay, we can talk about that later." "Thanks. [Laughs]" "Oh, yeah." "Thank you. [Mouths words]" "[applause] Whoa." "Hey." "What's your name?" "Kevin." "Hmm." "Then why you, uh, taking the last "b" cookie, Kevin?" "I'm Brad." "That's my cookie." "Gimme that." "[Crunching] Mmm!" "You should try one of these." "Not today, though." "Hmm!" "What?" "We'll split it. [Crunch]"
