Episode Notes

  • Title Reference: “Working for the Enemy" refers to Georgie taking a job at Jim's competitor, Fagenbacher's Auto.
  • Georgie's dream of one day owning a house with a tire-shaped pool was first mentioned in 109 "A Tire Convention and the Moral High Ground".

Quotes

Quote from Jim

Audrey: Pretty impressive waiting on all these tables by herself.
Jim: Oh, that's not a surprise, she has six years of college.

Quote from Ruben

Ruben: [whistling a tune] Lincoln's done.
Jim: Great. Get started on the Caddy.
Ruben: Yeah. Before that, how about we talk about my raise?
Jim: What makes you think you're getting a raise?
Ruben: [chuckles] I mean, look around. I'm all you got.
Jim: Really? You're gonna use this whole Georgie situation to squeeze me?
Ruben: I thought that was clear, yes.
Jim: I'll take it under consideration.
Ruben: Don't take too long. I hear Fagenbacher's hiring. [short chuckle] [whistling a tune]
Jim: Quit whistling.
Ruben: No.

Quote from Mandy

Jim: You're workin' for Fagenbacher?
Georgie: What can I say? He knows talent when he sees it.
Audrey: Freddy gave you a job?
Mandy: Please don't say "Freddy" and "job" in the same sentence.

Quote from Georgie

Georgie: Your dad's being a jerk.
Mandy: Maybe, but we still have to live under his roof. At least until we make some money.
Georgie: Don't worry about money. I'll get another job.
Mandy: You sure about that?
Georgie: Positive. Before you know it, we'll be in a giant house of our own.
Mandy: Right, the one with the pool shaped like a tire.
Georgie: Exactly.
Mandy: Which is just a circle.
Georgie: There's a hot tub in the middle. It'll make sense when you see it.

Quote from Jim

Georgie: I'm just saying, we could be the first ones selling 'em.
Jim: Georgie, I don't want to hear about Korean tires no more.
Georgie: [sighs] But if we act now, we can corner the market.
Jim: Texans like American tires.
Audrey: Michelin is French.
Jim: But they don't know that.
Georgie: It's a family business. Why don't we take a vote?
Jim: 'Cause it ain't a democracy. I'm the only one who gets a vote. [Audrey clears throat] Me and Audrey are the only ones who get a vote.
Connor: Question.
Jim: You don't get a vote.
