A few repairmen fix some vending machines.

Unknown Speaker #1

A little song for you partners about one of my favorite ways to get cheap quick snacks. I'm a vending machine head, better than the rest. Green to red, M &M's. Vending machine head, better than the rest. Just a little something I've been thinking of. Vending, vending out, vending, vending out. What'd y 'all think?

Unknown Speaker #2

I can't get the damn Snickers to come out. We might need to call corporate telling this was shot.

Unknown Speaker #3

Well, let's not jump to conclusions,

Unknown Speaker #2

okay? What have you tried? What have you tried? I mean, you put in the money. Yeah, but the thing is, the turning mechanism ain't turning, and it looks like the motor in the back might be shot.

Unknown Speaker #3

So we got about four or five Snickers just stuck in the back of the machine. We might have to take it all the way apart. And, you know, if this one's shot, I bet you one of these other ones is shot. And if we're doing our rounds, I think we got to

Unknown Speaker #4

just... Well, I could go look in the back of the truck. We have a lot of spare pieces. We can bring this one back to life.

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah, I think that's important. We can't just quit every time one Snickers is stuck.

Unknown Speaker #2

Like, this is the only job we have. We got to fix the machine.

Unknown Speaker #5

You feel as good out there? You want me to come out of the truck?

Unknown Speaker #2

No, keep on fire watch. We don't want anybody to steal anything.

right. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker #5

All

Unknown Speaker #6

but keep an eye out. Stay back, son! They want those little curly things that hold chips. They want that little pigtail.

Unknown Speaker #3

Thanks, Chuck. They want the pigtail. You're keeping us safe, Chuck. We appreciate you. Hey,

Unknown Speaker #5

my pleasure. Get back, son!

Unknown Speaker #6

Back up. What if we... The new ones, the little thing goes up and it goes over. The sucker? The slider? Or are you talking about the slider? The slider?

Unknown Speaker #2

Yeah. What if we put a slider in for the Snickers? Because I've got an old slider out there. We're going to do a Frankenstein on this machine? You know what happens when we Frankenstein these machines. No.

Unknown Speaker #6

They don't come to life

Unknown Speaker #7

in

Unknown Speaker #6

the basement. I don't know. Do they? Well, you were not on Highway 13, were you?

Unknown Speaker #2

You

Unknown Speaker #6

were on vacation on Highway 13. You were high as hell that night. It doesn't matter. You had just tried edibles

Unknown Speaker #7

and

Unknown Speaker #3

you said you saw a machine we just fixed. Jerry, we saw you out to dinner with a machine. We saw you Frankenstein a machine and go to dinner with them. Okay?

Unknown Speaker #6

Listen, ever since, y 'all are just jealous because I have real dolls. Y 'all are jealous because

Unknown Speaker #7

I'm a man who's been on a documentary. You're jealous of my dolls. I got a garage full of beautiful dolls and y 'all just think I'm obsessed with inanimate objects and I'm taking them to dinner.

Unknown Speaker #3

We don't have a problem. We just saw you at dinner with an inanimate object.

Unknown Speaker #2

Yeah. It's just - You're the one who's putting judgment on it. We don't give a shit, all right? I respect my

Unknown Speaker #6

dolls. Okay. And I would never go out

Unknown Speaker #2

to dinner with a Frankenstein machine. I don't care how much it vibrates. I don't care how fast it vibrates that machine. You think it's cheating? You'd be cheating on your real girls by going out with a

Unknown Speaker #6

Frankenstein - Dolls. Real girls. I wish I could afford real girls. That's a beautiful company out of Belgium that I cannot get my hands on.

Unknown Speaker #3

Well, let's just get back to it.

Unknown Speaker #6

We need to fix this vending machine so it can accept dollars and coins and dispense candies. That's our job and that's all we got to do today. Yes.

Yep. So let's do that. Take out all the Snickers. All right. I'll go grab a spindly thing from Chuck.

Unknown Speaker #3

Right?

Yes. I'll come back with the equipment and we'll simply fix it like we know how. Love it. Okay. Okay. Chuck, I'm going to have to get one of the spindlies.

Unknown Speaker #5

All right. Let me just see your ID.

Unknown Speaker #3

Chuck, you don't have to check me. I drove here with you.

Unknown Speaker #5

I know, but I just saw Mission Impossible.

Unknown Speaker #3

Okay. Pull on my face, Chuck. Pull on my face. I would

Unknown Speaker #5

love to.

Unknown Speaker #3

Okay. Go ahead.

Unknown Speaker #5

Wow. You didn't flinch at all there. That's right. I'm not wearing a mask at all. I need a spindle. I will say logic -wise, you would have flinched if it was your real face. The mask doesn't hurt when I yank on it. Let me, how about this? All right. All right. If we've driven together for 13 years. We have. What was the dinner we always talk about

Unknown Speaker #3

that we had together?

Unknown Speaker #5

The memorable dinner that

Unknown Speaker #3

we always talk about. Taco Bell. They gave us an extra double -decker taco.

Unknown Speaker #5

Oh, come on through.

right.

Unknown Speaker #3

All

Chuck, it's good to see you again. You too. You too. Sorry about that. It's all right. There's such a difference between you when your walls are up and your walls are down.

Unknown Speaker #5

Yeah. Well, I, you know, I just, I'm, I'm pleased you guys gave me Firewatch again because I am the one who has had the truck stolen on a Firewatch the most time. And so I've had to double down on the way. I'm too nice and trusting and I just can't be that way.

Unknown Speaker #6

I appreciate it. Hey, Chuck, I'm going to go ahead and grab a couple of tools. Oh, whoa,

whoa.

Unknown Speaker #5

whoa, whoa,

It's me, man. Come on. Whoa,

Unknown Speaker #6

whoa, whoa. It's me. You know

Unknown Speaker #5

Unknown Speaker #6

Oh, my. Come on, Chuck.

Unknown Speaker #5

Jerry.

Unknown Speaker #6

There.

Unknown Speaker #5

All right.

Unknown Speaker #6

Hang on, hang on, hang on. Looks real

Unknown Speaker #3

enough. Yeah. Is this fake? No, that's me. But it looks a little fake, doesn't it? Because I know we all drove here together. I know, I know

Unknown Speaker #6

you're

Unknown Speaker #7

you.

Unknown Speaker #6

I was with y 'all all day. Why would I have a fake? Who would I even be? You want to pull my face?

Unknown Speaker #5

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker #6

All right. Pull it. Gotcha. Oh,

Unknown Speaker #5

Smells like oil.

Unknown Speaker #2

What the hell is going on over here? Why y 'all taking so

Unknown Speaker #3

long? Oh, I got the spindle. Sorry.

Unknown Speaker #2

Chuck's doing a great job on security. He will not lose the truck.

Unknown Speaker #3

All right.

Unknown Speaker #2

And my guy. I'm just trying. I'm just going to grab my water bottle out of the back seat.

Unknown Speaker #3

Whoa.

Unknown Speaker #2

Whoa. Whoa. Oh, guys, guys. I mean, he's just it's his

Unknown Speaker #5

water bottle. Only he would know it's

Unknown Speaker #6

Unknown Speaker #5

So. Oh, OK. We should not even

Unknown Speaker #6

be in a room. No, no, no. That is bad news. All right. But

Unknown Speaker #3

it's still me. I can't believe. Now I see what's going on with the

Unknown Speaker #2

stickers. The machine does not get along with you, my man. Just can I get my water, please? I'm thirsty. Let me see your face. Are you what? You want to pull on my face? You know it. OK. All right. Excuse

Unknown Speaker #6

me.

Unknown Speaker #2

Dang. You got us. You got us over there.

Unknown Speaker #5

And a classic laugh over there. And a hee hee. That's a classic

Unknown Speaker #6

hee hee laugh.

Unknown Speaker #5

Get your water. Sorry to run you through the ring like

Unknown Speaker #7

that. You all know, though. I got the truck stolen so many times.

Unknown Speaker #6

Hey, you all want to burn one down real quick?

Unknown Speaker #7

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Unknown Speaker #5

Who was that? Look, he's over there. He's right at the vending machine underneath it. Oh, my God. Who was that? What the hell happened over here? We

Unknown Speaker #3

Let's just go back to the

Unknown Speaker #5

machine. We can't lose the machine. Ma 'am, I got to commandeer your vehicle. Excuse me?

Unknown Speaker #3

Get out, miss. Miss, get out. This is official vending machine business. No, that's not a badge.

Unknown Speaker #5

Yeah, that's a bag of fungions, Chuck. That's our official badge. Ma 'am. Ma 'am.

Ma 'am. Okay, okay. Okay, just four bags of fungions. Oh, you're scaring me. We can do this. Oh, it's a

Unknown Speaker #7

stick. Never mind. Keep

Unknown Speaker #5

Unknown Speaker #3

I don't want one of these little dinkies. Ma 'am, your car's a little dinky. Guys, it's easier.

Unknown Speaker #5

Come on. Sorry about that, ma 'am. Is this

Second one.

What was that?

Unknown Speaker #2

Hey, hey, hey. I

Unknown Speaker #3

guess it's quitting time. Where'd you get that Diet Coke?

Unknown Speaker #2

I got it out of the cooler. I didn't take it from the machine. Don't worry. I don't know if I buy

Unknown Speaker #3

that.

Unknown Speaker #5

What do you mean? Let me feel it. If it's warm, it's the machine. If it's cold, it's the

Unknown Speaker #3

cooler.

Unknown Speaker #6

Pull his face. What could he possibly steal?

Unknown Speaker #2

It's me. It's a clone. You know, I'll admit that that guy who got in there and got in the truck and took it looked a lot like me. But it is me. I was right there. You've seen me. I haven't been out of your eyeline in the last

Unknown Speaker #5

six hours. What are the first three songs of the playlist we always listen to when we hit the road together?

Unknown Speaker #2

Bah with the bah, Pretty Fly for a White Guy, and Higher by Creed.

Unknown Speaker #3

to put you through the ringer on that. Very sorry. Nailed

Unknown Speaker #5

Sorry we had

Unknown Speaker #2

Unknown Speaker #7

that we like.

Unknown Speaker #3

Can you blame us? God.

Unknown Speaker #7

Give it to me, baby. Who cares about the truck?

Unknown Speaker #3

Honestly, when I get my songs going, I don't have another care in the world. Who cares about the truck?

Unknown Speaker #6

Maybe we should sing that

Unknown Speaker #3

to our boss. Yeah. Like, I think that'll get us out of it. Right. Because we are - Give it to me, baby. Who cares about the truck? That could be good. And I know you're pretty disappointed about the truck.

Unknown Speaker #6

This is our third truck this week. Maybe we sing that to the boss.

Unknown Speaker #5

I'm going to call. I'm going to call. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker #3

call. Can I? Okay. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker #5

Unknown Speaker #6

Unknown Speaker #3

pies or zebra cakes. Moon pies or zebra cakes.

Unknown Speaker #6

And sodas if we're lucky. Yeah, well - Give it to me, baby. Who cares about the truck? Call him. I think we have - Call him. Call him. Just tell him we're doing it in the car.

Unknown Speaker #5

All right. Siri, call Keith, boss.

Unknown Speaker #2

Hello? Hey, Keith. What's going on, boys? Nothing. Hey, nothing, Keith. How are you? I'm doing okay. You know, about to jump into a meeting with the new distributor.

Unknown Speaker #6

That's good news because we do too. Awesome. What's going on? Why are you guys calling me right now? You're supposed to be fixing the vending machine. Well, yeah. I mean, the Snickers was stuck.

Unknown Speaker #2

Uh

Unknown Speaker #6

Unknown Speaker #3

was doing a great job. We got to start by saying - The truck, the new truck is really good. Uh -huh. Okay.

Unknown Speaker #5

Well, you know that song you just said you liked? Uh -huh. Maybe we can put this in terms you might love and understand.

Unknown Speaker #7

Okay. I'm listening. Two, three,

Unknown Speaker #6

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker #5

four.

Unknown Speaker #6

Give it to me, baby. Who cares about the truck? So, what do you think?

Unknown Speaker #2

Oh, I guess I'm a little confused about the context.

Unknown Speaker #6

Where's the thing? The truck's gone.

Unknown Speaker #2

You just said the truck.

Unknown Speaker #6

Let's

Unknown Speaker #2

- I don't know if you heard us correctly. Yeah. It's pretty clear what has happened. Okay?

Unknown Speaker #3

And right before the song, the truck's gone. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker #6

Give it to me, baby. Who cares about the truck?

Unknown Speaker #3

What do we think, Keith? All the girls say that the vending machines still work with a car.

Unknown Speaker #2

Well, I guess when you put it in terms like that. Come

Unknown Speaker #3

on, Keith.

Unknown Speaker #2

I can't be mad. Come on, Keith.

Unknown Speaker #5

Yes.

Keith, you're saving our lives here. All

Unknown Speaker #7

Yes. Yes.

right. I got to ask this, Keith.

Unknown Speaker #5

What - I know you just let us off the hook, but what kind of hellhole are you sending us into where some sort of secret Mission Impossible style people are creating more and more intense technology to pretend to be us to steal the truck?

Unknown Speaker #2

Listen, I didn't know much about the job. I just knew that it was a place with golden streets.

Unknown Speaker #6

Oh, yeah.

Unknown Speaker #2

We're all wealthy now because of these vending machines. Four guys, four

Unknown Speaker #6

machines.

Unknown Speaker #3

That's a great business model. I was under the impression that it was a place where blind men see.

Unknown Speaker #5

Okay. Okay. Okay. So, I feel like we're going towards the Creed

Unknown Speaker #2

route.

Unknown Speaker #3

Yes. We're talking about here, which we love. We love.

Unknown Speaker #2

We love. We love. Who cares about the truck? Nice. There we go. Can you raise my wages? No, you're - No, absolutely not. All

Unknown Speaker #5

right. Have a try. Keith. Keith. Have a try. Keith. Keith. Keith.!!! I am life on the line. People are putting fake masks on. I can't trust my friends, my foes. You know?

Unknown Speaker #6

What is going on? Why do so many people want basic work trucks?

Unknown Speaker #2

Listen, guys. I have to come clean. Finally. We knew

Unknown Speaker #6

it was. What is it, Keith? Explain

Unknown Speaker #3

knew, but what is it?

Unknown Speaker #2

all of this. Because we

Succinctly explain all of this. You guys are the four worst employees I've ever

Unknown Speaker #6

my

had

Unknown Speaker #3

in

entire

Unknown Speaker #6

life. Oh, finally. Oh!

Unknown Speaker #5

powerful. All right. As if

Unknown Speaker #3

All right. You're

Unknown Speaker #2

I've never heard this before.

Unknown Speaker #5

What about that lady?

Unknown Speaker #3

Huh?

Unknown Speaker #5

You remember that lady? No.

My wife? No.

Unknown Speaker #5

No, no. The lady who wouldn't stop eating all the Nutter

Butters out of the machine for the first That's my wife. Yeah. Well, whoever she was. And what did

Unknown Speaker #6

Unknown Speaker #3

tell her? She

Unknown Speaker #5

sucked.

Unknown Speaker #6

She sucked.

Unknown Speaker #2

What about us thinking your wife sucks?

Unknown Speaker #6

Does that, what about that?

Unknown Speaker #2

Job wise. Lovely lady. Does that change your mind about how we're bad employees? She did just ask me for a divorce. Wow. What did you answer?

Unknown Speaker #6

Did you hold strong and say no? I said absolutely not. That's my guy.

Unknown Speaker #2

Stay in it.

Unknown Speaker #6

Stay in it.

Unknown Speaker #3

When your partner wants out, you stay in it.

Unknown Speaker #2

Convince them you're good enough. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I sent y 'all out there because I knew this was a losing job. And I figured if we could ring up the tally on the amount of money you've lost for the company, I could have a justified termination.

Unknown Speaker #6

Wow. So these are all write -offs.

Unknown Speaker #2

So

Unknown Speaker #3

you're behind the steals? Are you John Voight from the movie Mission Impossible? Are

Unknown Speaker #5

you a double agent? Did we get voided?

Unknown Speaker #3

Is your daughter Angelina Jolie? Tell

Unknown Speaker #5

us right now. Answer the question. This is

Unknown Speaker #2

such

convoluted question. My daughter Charlize Theron. Are you John Voight from The Italian Job? Were you

Guys, no. You know me. I've been your boss for the last 15 years, okay? You know I'm not John

Unknown Speaker #3

Voight. But you know what's interesting? Where's his career been the last 15 years?

Unknown Speaker #5

Well, you know what? You can't say anything against the Democrats without your career going down the toilet. All of these fantastic actors that we've always liked.

Unknown Speaker #6

Normal guys.

Unknown Speaker #7

Well, I don't know what you guys did, but when we lost Voight,

Unknown Speaker #6

I mean, what do you do with the

Unknown Speaker #3

art?

Unknown Speaker #6

Well,

Unknown Speaker #5

I tried to watch Hercules, but Sorbo's out there. Sorbo, Kevin Sorbo's gone too. Yeah, because right now they would absolutely be rebooting Hercules with

Unknown Speaker #6

Sorbo. What am I supposed to do with my Sorbo and Voight albums? Those were my

Unknown Speaker #7

favorite

Unknown Speaker #5

growing up. How am I not allowed to watch Jimmy Woods anymore? It's unbelievable. Sorbo and Voight featuring Woods was one of my favorite

Unknown Speaker #6

albums. The shark was fantastic. Tell

Unknown Speaker #3
