Complete story — includes the ending

Josh is hired at the Premiere movie theater after unintentionally causing "Crazy" Steve ( Jerry Trainor ) to quit after complaining about his wobbly cup holder. Josh quickly comes to enjoy his new job, buying many new things with his paychecks, which inspires Drake to work at the Premiere as well. The theater's manager, Helen ( Yvette Nicole Brown ), immediately begins heavily favoring Drake over Josh, giving Drake all the credit for Josh's hard work, despite Drake's constant laziness. Helen even promotes Drake to assistant manager, much to Josh's annoyance. Desperate for any kind of recognition, Josh seeks Helen's approval by creating a promotion designed to sell more popcorn. Unfortunately, his plan backfires horribly, causing a violent riot amongst the customers. Josh then prepares to accept his fate and tell Helen that the incident was his fault, however Drake takes all the blame, realizing how much the job means to Josh, leading Helen to reluctantly fire Drake. Note: Audrey only appears in the main title sequence.
