Good morning Tom, Jason.
How you doin' there Dave, Crystal?
Tommy.
Good morning, Jake.
How are ya?
-
Pretty good, Kenny.
-
Yeah, yeah.
Uhh... you know it's so early in the morning |
I'm sorry to be | bearer of bad news |
But you know how I was supposed to work late tonight?
-
[Jake] Uh hm.
-
Well I gotta run this
errand for Mr. Mahina.
And he says that you're
gonna have to cover for me.
So there it is.
I don't need, I'm sorry (whistles),
drop the ax. (laughs)
Okay, so.
-
Hm, again.
-
Yeah, so.
Oh, you know what,
(snap) just remembered (laughs),
Mr. Mahina also, almost slipped my mind,
wants us to change parking spaces.
-
What?
-
Yeah.
Me, personally, I enjoy
the nine minute walk.
But he said that we have to do it.
Believe it, I hate it as much as you do.
-
What are you gonna do?
-
Nothing you can do.
-
Mr. Mahina said it.
-
Mahina.
This whole situation has been Mahinanized.
- It just seems a little confusing to me as to why Mr. Mahina would give a fuck
where we park.
-
How's that?
-
I mean why would he care where we park?
-
I don't know the
answer to that question.
I mean that's, it's just what he said.
Hey, the Mahina works in mysterious ways.
- You know what?
I'm gonna ask him myself, 'cause--
- No, that's okay!
I'll do it!
(door slamming)
Uh Mr. Mahina sir, I know you're busy.
But can I speak to you
about the parking switch?
- [Mr. Mahina] What is there to talk about Kenny?
I told you and Jake to switch parking spaces.
Don't you know who I am? I am Mr. Mahina and I'm a
real, real person in here. Now you get the hell out of my office.
- Wow.
(thud)
Did you hear that?
It was crazy in there.
I mean that was, phew, intense.
- Yeah.
You know what's really crazy though? I been working here for about a year
and I've never even seen Mr. Mahina.
- Well see now, that's
an easy one to answer.
That's because he comes in
before you come into work
and he's still working when you leave.
That's what makes him Mr. Mahina.
Come on, we're talking about
Mr. Mahina here, right?
(both laugh)
- That makes perfect sense.
You know, I bet, the hard working boss would love to meet a hard working employee,
you know, shares the same values, so I'm gonna go ahead and just introduce myself.
- No, no!
You can't go into Mr. Mahina's room.
Are you crazy?
No one except me is allowed to go in there.
Mr. Mahina is busy.
(slap)
- Okay, fine, you made
your point clear, man.
-
Thank you very much Jake.
-
I'm good.
-
I think it's best,
-
Come on man.
A Few Good Men
You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those
walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You,
Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury.
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death,
while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and
incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because
deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that
wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we
use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You
use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain
myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very
freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather
you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you
pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what
you think you're entitled to!

The 10 Things You Should Always Keep To Yourself
Some things are better left unsaid.
If you share everything about yourself with
others, you might say things that perhaps
you shouldn’t.
You know…
Too much info.
There’s nothing wrong with keeping SOME
things to yourself, and a lot of the time
it’s actually better.
Sometimes, keeping things safe can also be
helpful in creating success!
So, here are the things that you should always
keep to yourself!
Number 1 - Biggest Goals
If you have big goals, it’s probably best
not to share them with others.
You’re also more likely to achieve them
this way.
It can be very tough because you can get super
excited about them, but while you work hard
to reach these goals, other people’s opinions
might cause confusion.
And opinions are relative and different for
everyone.
It’s also really interesting to note, that
studies on goal setting have shown that telling
people about your goals and then getting praise
for setting them, can make your brain produce
the endorphins that it would, once you reached
the goal.
This makes you feel like you’ve already
achieved something, and then you don’t work
as hard to reach your goal.
Number 2 - Good Deeds
Try not to talk much about the good things
you’ve done for others.
This can easily make you seem arrogant and
self-serving.
Those who can see your kindness, don’t need
further explanation.
And if you are only doing good deeds just
to brag about yourself, does it even count?
Always be kind and humble.
Number 3 - Personal Life
Your personal life is your own business.
There are certain things that are better kept
to yourself, such as what you do under the
sheets, your religious life, and your bad
habits.

"My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right...
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside...
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town...
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home...
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me...
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town..."
