Break up with a Co-Worker
/ theguysmanual
Grape-Nuts and ESPN's Kenny Mayne team up to guide you past the pitfalls and perils of breaking up with a co-worker in this episode of the Guy's Manual.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Here's a picture of a attractive
woman. Here's a picture of Pete.
And here's a picture of a squirrel
water skiing.
The craziest thing about these
pictures is that Pete was dating
the girl...who happens to be the
boss's daughter.
Now, I don't want to say she's high
maintenence but she makes a Fiat
Spider look like toaster. And Pete
needs to break up with her without
losing his job. Here are several
nuggets of wisdom to help him
escape with his career intact.
TRACY
Do you want to see the new Kate
Hudson movie tonight?
PETE
Not a chance in hell. Maybe that
means I'm not good enough for you.
We should just be friends I think.
TRACY
What're you saying?! You want to
break up?! My dad will destroy
you.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
She makes a good point. Pete, you
need to make sure that before you
break up with her, you become
almost invaluable at work.
BOSS
Pete, do you have the --
PETE
Quarterly figures? Yes.
I also prepared the power point for
the client meeting, did the
factory visit schedule for the next
three months and changed the
weather stripping on the windows.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
You are so on it, Pete. Next up,
whatever you do, DO NOT break up
with her in the office.
You don't want this scene.
TRACY
What?! You bastard! I did
everything for you! I washed your
clothes, I dressed up like Helen
Mirren like you wanted.
The other office guys look at Pete.
PETE
What? Have you seen that picture
of her in a bikini?
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Ouch. Shake it off, bro, 'cause
here's the next tip. You need to
let both Tracy and her dad down
easy.
Okay, first the daughter...
PETE
Tracy, you deserve someone who will
only think about you. I'm the one
missing out on being with such an
amazing person like you.
Tracy melts a little.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
And now Daddy...
PETE
Sir, this job deserves someone who
will only think about it. I don't
want to miss out on learning from
such an amazing person like you.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
I can't believe that actually
worked.
BOSS
Pete, have you met my other
daughter, Betsy?
HOST KENNY MAYNE
You're helpless dude.
Until next time, enjoy being a man who gets things
done.
