Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 63 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT An Airbag Saved My Life
By Jacob Clifton | Season 5 | Episode 8 | Aired on 11.17.2013
...Which as much as I like seeing new sides of our people this season, Cary's entitlement is not, in this case, so much a new trait. Of course he hates it when people tell him no or at least he would if that had ever happened to him in his life.
Natalie: "Mr. Gardner? I think F/A maybe doesn't know what the fuck they're doing. Let's have a small meeting behind their backs. You should see the shit-throwing foot-stomping fit the little hot one just served up."

Lyman: "Miss Flores, I'm so sorry about saying I wanted to put my dick in your Mexican ass. I was trying to be nice."
Natalie: "Great. So the rest of you, this is my boss Joe Pallotta. He's the reason you should have been cool to me this whole time."
LG: "How much ass can we kiss to make up for that oversight? Blatantly speaking."
Natalie: "Not really any amount of ass would ever make up for Howard Lyman. I mean, that number does not exist. That number of ass."
Even better, Joe Pallotta is black, so then Howard gets to fist-bump him and do a weird made-up handshake and talk in a strange jive accent, which is much funnier than the other stuff (or Howard generally).
MEXICAN CONSULATE
Robyn visits an exceedingly cute boy at the Consulate to chat about the Tomases Ruiz.
Robyn: "It's at the border now, but it's about to..."
Ambassador Hottie: "Is that a problem?"
Robyn: "For me? No. For Mexico, huge. I am here to tell you a thing you may not know about Tomas I. Ruiz, which is that he is an infamous conman and steals airbags, which results in people dying because they have no airbag."
Ambassador Hottie: "What a horrible crime! Is that real?"
Robyn: "Ask Mexico in a few months when they turn up with no airbags. The traffic there is already so shitty. I mean, you know. But no, the stupid US government doesn't want to deal with him even though he is their problem. They want to burn Mexico by sending you jerks."
Ambassador Hottie: "That sounds like I could get fired."
Robyn: "Well, the thing about sovereign nations is, they have to accept the deportee. Or not."
NOT
People who are happy about what happens next include Tomas Ruiz, his wife, his underpants, and his stomach and head. Also Robyn, and most especially when Cary tells her she is super great and implies that she's not fired in a couple days. Cary Agos, your beautiful smile is all the reward I need. That and financial compensation, I mean.
