important on this team.

Jack: Totally, wholeheartedly, understandably. 100% agree with you


sentiment. I mean, we're like a family here. Like Alex, the janitor, he's like
a less successful little brother to me, I mean.

Geronimo: No, he is lying.


Erica: Where's Alex? I'll ask him myself.

Geronimo: Bathroom.

Jack: How would you know that?

Geronimo: Well, you sent him there yourself, right? To clean up your little
mess.

Erica: Great, let's go then.

Gerald starts muttering to himself when he sees what's about to happen:


Oh, no mister Bubles, what are we gonna do?

Erica accompanies Geronimo to talk to Alex about what was happening in


the office, and Jack runs after them to see what Alex was going to say.

In the bathroom, Alex looks visibly tired, gazing at the mess in the
bathroom, when suddenly Erica , Geronimo e Jack arrive.

Erica: Wow.
Erica : Wow. What the........? How di this .....? Alex is it true that Jack's
been bullying you this whole time?

Alex: Yeah. It's true.

Jack: Sabotage, they're trying to sabotage me.

Erica: I don't know, Jack, seems like two against one.

Jack: Wait, I have a witness. Gerald, Gerald get in here. He'll have
evidence.

When Gerald arrive, Jacks turns to him and says: Could you tell them I
was not bullyin Alex?

Erica turns to Gerald and says: Gerald, be honest.

Gerald gets desperate and says: I can't take it anymore. Yes, it's true. He's
bullying Alex for the past few days. I'm so sorry guys, please forgive me.

Erica: And I'm assuming you made this mess too, Jack.

Jack: What?

Gerald: Yes, he did.


Erica turns to Jack, with a smile in her face says: Jack, congratulations,
you're fired.

Jack: What?

Erica: Just because you think Alex is lesser than you, does not give you the
right to treat him like agarbage. Everyone deserves respect, no matter who
they are and what they do.

Erica turns to Geronimo and Gerald and says: Good on you guys, for
standing for Alex. And Alex, Keep up the good work. I'm sorry you had to
deal with all this.

Alex: Thank you so much Erica.

Erica: You know what? Take two week , paid vacation on me.

Alex: Wow, really?

Erica: yes. Spend sometime with family, rest, relax, whatever, you deserve
it. And Jack, clean this up.

Jack: That's his job. You can't do this to me.
