Summary and spoilers
A lack of gigs forces Bret to take a job holding various signs on various New York Streets. When Murray finally finds a gig for the guys, Bret is late because of his sign-holding job, and Jemaine performs alone, accompanied by a tape of Bret. Murray decides the tape is better and less hassle, and fires Bret.
Bret concentrates on making it big as a sign-holder, but when his hot co-worker Coco mentions that she likes bands better than signs, he rejoins.
Flight of the Conchords Quotes
"Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11
From a quarter past six to a quarter to seven
The manager, Bevan, starts to abuse me
‘Hey man, I just want some muesli’"
- Jemaine (lyrics from Inner City Pressure)
"You don’t measure up to the expectation
When you’re unemployed, there’s no vacation
No one cares, no one sympathizes
You just stay home and play synthesizers"
- Bret (lyrics from Inner City Pressure)
Jemaine: Are you busy?
Murray: No, I was just reading about the old - toothbrush fence. Fifty brushes now. Pretty impressive, huh. You know -
Jemaine: Murray, we need some money.
Murray: Oh, okay. How much? Got about [takes out metal box] four dollars in here.
Jemaine: Four dollars? I thought we had ten dollars.
Murray: This box cost six.
Bret: What was wrong with the bag?
Murray: The bag was useless, Brett. It had a great big hole in it. Look, we must have lost about twenty dollars out of that bag. It’s the box now.
Jemaine: I can’t believe you got that job and I didn’t.
Bret: Yeah, well you need to work on your people skills.
Jemaine: Shut up Brett.
Jemaine: Hey, Bret, I’m thinking of getting the band back together.
Bret: Oh, really?
Jemaine: Yeah.
Bret: I thought you were doing pretty well with the tape.
Jemaine: The tape’s no replacement for you, man.
Bret: Really?
Jemaine: No, it broke.
