- Rashid: It's got his blood everywhere, look what happened to O.J.
- Brandi Boski: Yeah, but didn't O.J. go free?
- Rashid: That's not the point!
- Joe Lieber: Take a seat.
- Thomas Bardo: Hi. I'm Thomas Bardo. Sorry about the clothes.
- Joe Lieber: And how do you spell your name?
- Thomas Bardo: B-A-R-D-O. Yeah, you'll probably see that I was a project manager. Very challenging job, but my company decided to downsize just before my benefits kicked in. You know how that is. Then the unemployment ran out. I thought I might have better luck in the city, but... you know how that goes.
- Joe Lieber: You know, I can't seem to find you in the computer.
- Thomas Bardo: Oh?
- Joe Lieber: All right.
- [He opens a drawer and takes out a form]
- Joe Lieber: You take that, fill it out, and mail it in.
- Thomas Bardo: Uh, I've already filled this out.
- Joe Lieber: Well, you can't be in the computer until you fill it out and mail it in.
- Thomas Bardo: But I've already mailed this in. That's how I got the appointment.
- Joe Lieber: Well, you can't have an appointment until you're in the computer.
- Thomas Bardo: But I have an appointment. It was at one, and I've been waiting for three and a half hours.
- Joe Lieber: But you're not in the computer.
- Thomas Bardo: But...
- Joe Lieber: You're not in the computer. So, you fill out the 976, you mail it in to me, and I will make sure you get an appointment.
- Thomas Bardo: Look, Mr. Lieber, this hasn't been a good day for me, you know. Can't you just take my word that I've already sent this in? Or put me in now, and...
- Joe Lieber: Sir, look, um, if you're willing to follow procedures, we can work with you. If not... it's your choice.
- Thomas Bardo: [Thomas sighs in defeat] Well, I guess I'd better fill this out, huh?
- Joe Lieber: That's the procedure.
- [Bardo arrives at the job agency holding the few clothes he managed to keep the landlord from taking]
- Thomas Bardo: I'm Thomas Bardo. I have a one o'clock appointment.
- Receptionist: Take a seat.
- [She nods at the clothes]
- Receptionist: Keep all that on your person.
- Thomas Bardo: Seat? But I have an appointment.
- Receptionist: Take a seat.
- Thomas Bardo: But I have a one o'clock appointment and it's one now. I was almost late.
- Receptionist: Sir, I don't wanna have to tell you again. Take a seat.
- Thomas Bardo: But I have an...
- Receptionist: Sir.
- Thomas Bardo: All right, thank you. I'll take a seat, thank you.
- Receptionist: Keep all that on your person.
- Manager: I'm just doing my job.
- Thomas Bardo: And I'm just asking for another week. A couple of days, even?
- Manager: Ain't a charity ward.
- Thomas Bardo: Just another day. I got a job interview.
- Manager: You vacate or I call the cops. Your choice.
- Petersen: Of course, this is not an official offer, but I wanted you to be aware that you are high on my list of possible captains.
- Brandi Boski: Thank you, Mrs. Petersen. I'll really try to do my best.
- Petersen: I know you will. Then I can count on you coming in tomorrow?
- Brandi Boski: [surprised] Uh, Saturday?
- Petersen: I know what day it is, Brandi.
- Brandi Boski: Yes, of course, I know you do; but, but I came in last Saturday.
- Petersen: Oh. I see.
- [She starts to turn away]
- Brandi Boski: But no, no, no, no, it's - I can come in, it's fine. It's no problem.
- [first lines]
- [At the care facility, a patient offscreen calls for Brandi]
- Mr. Binckley: Brandi! I want Brandi!
- Gloria: He did it again.
- Brandi Boski: He did?
- Gloria: I tried helping, but he keeps asking for you.
- Brandi Boski: Yeah, he does that.
