Take This Job and Squeeze It

Jen, Nikki, Jonesy, Jude, and Wyatt have all been friends since kindergarten. They all go to the mall to try to get jobs while on their holidays. They meet Caitlin, a 15-year-old spoiled girl (who goes to their high school), who finds out that she needs to get a job in order to pay back her father's credit card bill. Jen gives Caitlin her old job at the Squeeze, and Caitlin ends up as a sixth member of the gang. Caitlin's old friend, Tricia, ends their friendship because of Caitlin getting a job which leads to both of them in future disagreements.

00:00Time's last!
00:12I am so behind on my spring shopping.
00:15I do this every year.
00:17Oh, I know. Pink is back in, and my closet is totally pink poor.
00:22Good thing the malls open early on Saturdays.
00:26Yes!
00:28The mothership.
00:30Come on, we only have eight hours.
00:33What?
00:35Oh, right. Thanks.
00:39What?
00:41Oh.
00:42Security!
00:45Tell the renter cops we said hi.
00:50So, which way are you going?
00:52I've got to find those crystal-encrusted flip-flops.
00:56Hook up after lunch for manicurers.
00:58Cool. Later!
01:00I'm home.
01:27I'm home.
01:29Oh, forgive me if I can't see you taking responsibility for anything bigger than your locker combo.
01:37It'll be worth it. See with the chicks. It's all about the bling-bling.
01:41And the way I figure it, we'll be making two large each by the end of summer.
01:46You learn everything you learn everything you know from cop shows and music videos, don't you?
01:50You know it.
01:51You know, you're going to have to find someone dumb enough to hire you first, right?
01:55Look at me. Do I look worried?
01:57Uh, not really. No.
01:59Hey!
01:59Too bad none of you can work at the penalty box with me, but they never hire first-timers.
02:04I swear, it was so worth it to work here this year. Now they'll hire me for sure.
02:08I thought you got that job to pay for the damage you did to the team van.
02:11Yeah, didn't you crash it into the equipment shed?
02:14Shut up. The point is, I won't ever have to wear this hideous lemon hat again.
02:19Oh, yeah. I'm going to really miss making fun of you in it.
02:22Hey, it was the only job I could get.
02:24I was under 16, remember?
02:26Which is probably why you shouldn't have been driving the team bus.
02:30Ha ha. At least all of us will be working here together this summer.
02:35Here comes my first customer on my last day.
02:38Hey! Can I help you?
02:41A lychee fruit smoothie with an energy blast and no pulp, please.
02:45We only have what's on the menu.
02:47Oh. Uh, I guess I'll have a... lemonade then.
02:52Do you take credit cards?
02:53For $1.90? No.
02:58So that's what a 50 looks like.
03:01Ha ha ha.
03:01Hey, do you know where nice cinnamon buns is?
03:04Oh, it's just over there. Make sure you ask for one with a hole in it.
03:08They're, like, so much better.
03:10Thanks.
03:12Good one.
03:13Don't I know her from somewhere?
03:14She goes to our school.
03:15She didn't start until grade 10, though.
03:17Ah. Now there's a girl who'll never have to work.
03:21Ugh, I hate her already.
03:23Meow! Watch the claws, girls.
03:25She's so spoiled.
03:26She's like this only child, and both her parents are doctors or something.
03:29Why should she work when she's rich? I wouldn't.
03:32Speaking of not working, I can't believe you guys haven't put in your resumes yet.
03:37Stores started booking interviews last week.
03:39I know, I know.
03:40We made a pact that we'd all get jobs at the mall so we could hang out together.
03:44It's the only way I'll make it through this summer.
03:46What's the big deal?
03:47All you've got to do is smile, look good, and remember, the customer is always right.
03:53Do you really believe that?
03:55No.
03:58Welcome to the khaki barn.
04:00Have a khaki day.
04:05Isn't this girl-sized boyfriend's sweater the sweetest?
04:09Oh, I know.
04:14Excuse me.
04:16Your credit card's been declined.
04:18The strip's probably just worn out.
04:20Try it again.
04:21Maybe you've reached your limit.
04:23Credit cards have limits?
04:25Oh, my God.
04:36What's happening?
04:37It's about time you got here.
04:39Don't you take anything seriously?
04:42Relax, Capitan.
04:43Check it out.
04:44I've got my resume done and everything.
04:47See?
04:48Ew, dude, what's that goo?
04:49Last night's dinner.
04:51That was a good hot dog.
04:53You guys had better get out there.
04:55You're not going to get an interview.
04:57Relax, Mom.
04:58We're on it.
04:58In case you haven't noticed, there's like 10,000 stores in this mall.
05:02Actually, there's 936.
05:06I counted one day when I was bored.
05:09Can't handle this on an empty stomach.
05:11Be back pronto.
05:13Fine.
05:13But don't cry to me if you get stuck somewhere lame like the taco stand for the next year.
05:18Uh, things you'll see me do after I stick a rusty fork in my eye.
05:21Hey, they make a mean taco.
05:23I'm just saying.
05:24The competition for the cool stores is tough.
05:27Everyone wants to work at them.
05:28Don't sweat it, Steps, sis.
05:30Do not call me that.
05:31Our parents are not married.
05:33They're dating.
05:36Hello?
05:37Sounds good.
05:39I'll be there.
05:40My interview's been bumped to 2.30.
05:42Anyone want to practice their answers?
05:44No.
05:47But, Daddy, I needed that new Vespa to get around.
05:50The old one had a flat tire.
05:53Really?
05:54They can fix those?
05:55Excuse me.
05:56Are you going to, like, buy these clothes or not?
05:58Hold on.
05:59I do so know where money comes from.
06:02The partner's at your firm.
06:05Well, I'm off to my interview.
06:07Wish me luck.
06:08Like you need it.
06:10You're going to kick butt.
06:11I know.
06:11So where's everyone going to start?
06:13Travel agencies.
06:14The Gigantoplex.
06:15Free movies.
06:17North Shore surf and skate.
06:19Definitely.
06:21Grind me.
06:22Excuse me?
06:23The coffee house.
06:24I like the clientele.
06:25They're civilized.
06:30Do you think they'll interview us today?
06:32Probably.
06:33Why?
06:34I don't know, dude.
06:35What if I choke?
06:37It's a breeze.
06:38Just be polite and honest.
06:39Employers love that.
06:40Okay?
06:41Polite and honest.
06:43Solid advice.
06:44I can handle that.
06:45Let's do this.
06:47Come on, Daddy.
06:48How am I supposed to pay off that bill?
06:50No, wait.
06:51Don't put those back.
06:52You want me to what?
06:53I have to get a job?
06:56No!
07:00My card!
07:03Fine.
07:03I can get a job.
07:07She's got one.
07:08How hard can it be?
07:10I'm good.
07:14So, tell me, why do you want to work here, Masterson?
07:16Because I've always wanted to start my own line of snowboarding here, and I think working
07:20here would teach me so much about the retail sports industry.
07:23I spend most of my free time here anyway.
07:25I figure I might as well get paid for it.
07:28Because the Gigantoplex is a great place to pick up chicks.
07:32I need the money to go traveling.
07:34Do you guys have, like, an employee discount?
07:36So, where do you see yourself in five years?
07:39Five years?
07:40Not working in a mall.
07:41I know where I'd like to see myself tonight.
07:44Rock climbing with some Maori dudes in New Zealand.
07:47I don't even know what I'm doing this weekend.
07:49Riding for my college snowboarding team and competing in the Olympics.
07:53If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
07:56Is that the uniform you have to wear?
07:59That color really doesn't suit me.
08:01I'd be a Christmas tree.
08:02I guess I'd be a maple.
08:05No, wait.
08:06A dandelion.
08:07I'd rethink the hat, too.
08:08I thought this was a skate shop.
08:11I'd be an oak, because they're strong, and they like to help others by providing shade from the sun.
08:16Sorry, this might be important.
08:18What was my biggest accomplishment?
08:19Getting the second base with Jill Anderson.
08:22Perfecting my mother's signature.
08:24I want to take ten worms on a dare.
08:27Being the youngest girl to make the varsity soccer team.
08:29I'd have to say my accessories.
08:31My worst qualities.
08:33My feet sometimes smell, because...
08:35I guess I don't have much patience for authority.
08:37The list is long and distinguished.
08:39When I was seven, I used to have this really heinous orange top.
08:43I don't have any.
08:44I'm a pretty great guy.
08:52Well, that sucked.
09:04Guess who's the new assistant customer coach at the Penalty Box?
09:09Congrats.
09:10At least one of us is employed.
09:12You mean, none of you got jobs?
09:14That was not what I was expecting.
09:17How bad could it have been?
09:18It was just an interview.
09:20You know the time Jonesy pants me in front of the whole girl's soccer team?
09:23This was worse.
09:24We were applying for part-time jobs.
09:27That was like the Danish Inquisition.
09:29I think you mean Spanish Inquisition.
09:31Whatever, dude.
09:32It sucked.
09:33What are my worst qualities?
09:35Like they'd hire me if I told them.
09:36I told them mine.
09:38For real?
09:39How many did he give them?
09:40Seventeen.
09:44Oh, man.
09:45Was I supposed to lie?
09:47Guys, the right answer is sometimes I work a little too hard.
09:51Thanks.
09:52Information that would have been useful about two hours ago.
10:04What?
10:08We're not doing anything wrong!
10:11Man, that guy creases me.
10:13Seriously.
10:14He's got nothing better to do than be suspicious of everyone under 30.
10:17For your information, we work here too!
10:20Technically, we don't yet.
10:22Remember?
10:23I can't believe it.
10:24I'm going to be stuck working here alone.
10:26Again!
10:26Oh, man.
10:27We had our whole summer planned.
10:29Now we'll never be able to see each other.
10:30This is unbelievable.
10:32Did you see the guy running Stereo Shack?
10:34Even he has a job.
10:35And he carries a lightsaber to work.
10:37I can always play guitar on the subway for quarters.
10:44Oh, didn't have the new ruffle skirt in your size?
10:46It just so happens that I'm applying for a job and I didn't get hired at any either.
10:52Guess all the positions for professional shoppers were filled.
10:57You're so mean.
10:58We better try again before the only job left is the taco stand.
11:02Now I just have to find some loser to take my job.
11:05Hey, any of you guys want it?
11:08I'll hire you on the spot.
11:10No interview.
11:12We have some pride.
11:19So, why are you applying for a job anyway?
11:22Oh, my dad freaked when he got his credit card bill and now he's making me get a job.
11:26So I tried, like, everywhere, but no one would take me.
11:30I'm sure you'll find something.
11:31No, you don't understand.
11:32It was so humiliating.
11:34I can't even shop in those stores anymore.
11:39That bad, huh?
11:41Mm-hmm.
11:43I was so nervous I even knocked one manager's copy onto his lap.
11:48Ooh.
11:49It'll be okay.
11:50You'll find a job.
11:53Food on sticks.
11:55Guys, I think I found the place I was born to work at.
12:00But what if I choke on this interview, too?
12:02Dude, stop being such a wuss and just stick to our strategy.
12:06You're selling yourself.
12:08Nothing wrong with a little embellishment.
12:10You mean lying.
12:11I mean making yourself sound good.
12:14They expect you to.
12:15And if you don't, you're just letting yourself down.
12:17Are you sure?
12:18Jen said the way to impress an interviewer is to be honest and polite.
12:21And how's that working for you so far?
12:24Right.
12:25You're the man.
12:25Be the job, Jude.
12:27Be the job.
12:28I am so proud of that kid.
12:34No.
12:36No.
12:37Ugh, no.
12:45I know I'm gonna regret this.
12:48I could hire you to work at the Big Squeeze.
12:51No way!
12:52That's so awesome!
12:55Here's your uniform.
12:56You can change in here.
12:57Uh, no.
12:58I'm not wearing that.
12:59If you want to work, here you are.
13:01But I'll look like the biggest loser in the mall!
13:03No offense.
13:09Perfect fit.
13:10Now we can start training.
13:11Oh, I wish I could, but I am so busy.
13:14I have to meet my friend at an hour for manicures.
13:17How are you going to pay for that manicure?
13:19Fine.
13:20Where do I start?
13:21Let's get a head start on the cleanup so we can leave early.
13:24I thought we made juice here.
13:26Can't we, like, pay someone to do this?
13:31Just a minute, sir.
13:32I know!
13:33That's what I said!
13:34But he was like, fine, just don't call me.
13:36And I was like, I so wasn't even going to.
13:40No, thanks, I'm good.
13:41Right!
13:42As if.
13:43He's so not my type.
13:44Hey!
13:45Hey, what's up?
13:45So, how'd it go, guys?
13:48Awesome.
13:49The dude made me the manager of Stick It.
13:52Get out!
13:52How did you do that?
13:54I told him I ran two shops already, and he just gave me the job.
13:59Jonesy's advice totally worked.
14:01What'd I say?
14:02Always trust the Jonesmeister.
14:04Dude!
14:06Jude.
14:08But you've never even worked in a store before.
14:10You're going to be responsible for all that food and all those sticks?
14:14Whoa, I'm in trouble, bro.
14:17Uh, that's bra when you're addressing a girl, remember?
14:19What about you, Romeo?
14:20Get a job yet?
14:21Yeah, I got a great one at that 50s joint, the soda hop.
14:25So why the long face?
14:26I got fired ten minutes later.
14:29Ugh, Jonesy.
14:30What?
14:30How was I supposed to know the hostess was the boss's daughter?
14:34On the bright side, that's probably some kind of record.
14:37Hey, yeah, you're right.
14:39I like her.
14:40At least you're not in charge of the country music section at Spin This Music.
14:44But you hate country music, dude.
14:47It's like your mortal enemy.
14:49They always stick the new guy in country.
14:51Some sort of rite of passage like hazing fraternity pledges.
14:54I'm sure it won't be long before something comes up in the normal music section.
14:58Thanks.
14:59I needed that.
14:59Did you get a job?
15:00Yes, but I don't want to talk about it.
15:03Your first job.
15:04Aren't you excited?
15:05I'm bursting with fruit flavor.
15:07This is great.
15:09We can all hang out together now.
15:11Trisha!
15:12Over here!
15:14Trish!
15:17Hello, it's me!
15:21Oh, no way.
15:23Isn't it a little early to be shopping for Halloween costumes?
15:26No, silly.
15:28I got a job.
15:29Ew.
15:30Why?
15:31I'm going to prove to Daddy that I can earn my own money.
15:34I already know how to make juice.
15:36Ah!
15:38Oops.
15:39Um, I don't think we should hang out anymore, Kate.
15:43What are you talking about?
15:45It's nothing personal.
15:47It's just that you're wearing a lemon hat, Kate.
15:50And polyester.
15:53Sorry.
15:55I don't get it.
15:56She was my best friend for, like, a whole year.
16:00How could she do that to me?
16:01Some friend?
16:02What kind of person judges someone by their clothes, anyway?
16:08Okay, but I never did it to a friend.
16:11We had so much in common.
16:13Like, shopping and chocolate?
16:17There are bigger friends to fry, my friend.
16:20Let her go.
16:22Thanks for trying to cheer me up.
16:23I'm starving!
16:25Anyone want tacos?
16:28Yeah, I'm in.
16:32Welcome to Wonder Taco, where tacos are your hunger heroes.
16:37Can I take your order?
16:38I have an evil hunger brewing inside.
16:41Yes.
16:41What kind of food could possibly defeat it?
16:45A bird?
16:46A plane.
16:47No.
16:48It's Wonder Tacos!
16:52You know, I know you guys all make fun of me because I work here.
16:56What?
16:56Oh, no, no, no.
16:58We love Wonder Taco.
17:00Long live Wonder Taco.
17:02Two tacos coming right up.
17:06In the name of all that is true, hurry, my good woman.
17:16There you go, guys.
17:20Enjoy.
17:24It would suck to work there, but man, they make a good taco.
17:31I thought we agreed no more calls.
17:33Fine.
17:33I'll tell them to call back.
17:39That's it!
17:40I'm so done with you.
17:41You have got to be the most irresponsible, clumsy, spoiled girl I've ever met.
17:46This grapefruit has more sense of responsibility than you.
17:49At least it knows it's supposed to get squished today.
17:52I knew I should have hired that weird goth chick.
17:55Masterson!
17:55Coach, what are you doing here?
17:59Quiet on the field!
18:00I heard your little temper tantrum.
18:02Very disappointing.
18:03I thought you were penalty box material.
18:04But maybe I was wrong about you.
18:06No, you weren't.
18:09Jen is the most patient person I have ever met.
18:12I have been screwing up royally all day, and she's been nothing but nice to me,
18:16even when I spilled grape juice on her shoes.
18:18Which were actually kind of cute.
18:21Jen's right.
18:22I am irresponsible.
18:23But she's helping me become more like her.
18:26You'd be lucky to have her.
18:29Ah!
18:30All right.
18:31You've got yourself another chance.
18:32But you'd better fly straight.
18:34Got it?
18:35Sir, yes, sir.
18:37Where did that come from?
18:39I don't know.
18:39I just didn't want you to lose your job over me.
18:42That was pretty decent of you.
18:44You are going to keep her at the squeeze, aren't you?
18:47Duh.
18:48You're still giving me the job?
18:49I thought I was so fired.
18:52Yeah, well, I don't think the hat would fit over that goth chick's hair.
18:56And you're not so bad.
18:58Welcome to the hood.
18:59So, what are you up to tonight?
19:01No!
19:02Off, Jonesy.
19:02Bad boy.
19:03All right, all right.
19:05Oh, the hat is so bad.
19:07At least it'll only be for a while until I pay back my dad.
19:11How much did you blow on his cart exactly?
19:13Um, whatever two Vespas cost.
19:16And half a new spring wardrobe.
19:19And two pairs of shoes.
19:20Oh, and a bag.
19:23Get used to the hat, juice girl.
19:25You're going to be here for a while.
19:36Ugh, gotta go.
19:37They want me to start training today.
19:39By the way, I can't believe you actually eat at Wonder Taco.
19:42You know that girl horks in the food.
19:44What, you mean in everyone's food?
19:46No, only to the people she doesn't like.
19:51Where are you working, anyway?
19:54Can't bear to say it out loud yet.
19:56Ugh, it's too horrible.
19:59Oh, I have to see this.
20:01Totally.
20:03Come on.
20:04What are we doing?
20:06You'll see.
20:12Traveling money, traveling money, traveling money, traveling money.
20:17Welcome to the khaki barn team!
20:19Welcome to the khaki barn team!
