Reuben...he always was too trusting.
[Yen says something in Mandarin]
Well, you try talking him out of it next time.
Look, Bank hurt Reuben. I know how that makes me feel. I know what that makes me want to do.
Well, I'll you what I'd do, and I don't care if it gets messy.
I'll drive you. We'll get him leaving his barber.

And I'll inject him.
And I'll find a spot to get rid of the body.
All valid ideas. Great initiative. But...
But...Even though Bank stepped over the line, we need to do what is best for Reuben.
Which means we offer Bank a "Billy Martin."
And, what? He takes it and gets away with it?
No, those are the rules for someone who understands the rules, which Bank don't. He already broke them. So he don't get the chance.
Frank For Reuben...I think we give him a chance.
[Feeling a waitress' arm]
I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. Turn in your uniform.
W Waitress
I only gained four pounds, you can't!
Sorry, sweetie, but your Body Mass Index is nowhere near where it's supposed to be.
W Waitress
But Ms. Sponder-
Oh no, honey. It's your butt that's the problem. [Smugly walks off, Linus having observed the whole thing]
Frank [cuts to Linus, Frank, Rusty, and Danny talking]
Man, you can't fire no waitresses based on appearance, that's just unconstitutional.
Yeah, they're actually hired as "models who serve", so that Bank can monitor their personal appearance.
It's a cruel, cruel practice.
News from Mexico, from a journalista I used to...uh, anyway, she's an ally of the workers. Now, what she tells me is that the strike hinges on working conditions and the fact that labor feels they're underpaid by 50%. I guess you can agree, Terry, it's always about the money.
How much are they asking for?
Right, so that adds up to...
L Livingston
Just over $7 million.
No, not $36,000 each; $36,000 total.
Frank [everyone stares at Rusty]
Virgil and Turk got 'em holding out for $3.50 a week??
Well, write them a check. [looks at Terry and shrugs] We'll post-date it.
