TEXT: Receptionist: Ella Bowman? Hi, uh, Ella, can I talk to your mom? Ella: Okay. Hey, mom. Lina: Hi. Receptionist: It says that, uh, the bookkeeper would like to speak with you first. Well, we're just here to get her braces tightened. I don't deal with the billing, okay? I'm just dealing with the scheduling. Lina: Oh, no, I know, I know. So we'll just get her braces tightened and then jump in and talk to the bookkeeper. Receptionist: Not this time. Sorry. What kind of animal doesn't even tighten a girl's braces? Russ: They really refused to see her? Lina: Yeah. They said no more adjustments until we square up. I can't even believe that. Russ: That is so not cool. Lina: They didn't even call first. I'm just standing in there like an idiot. It was so embarrassing. I'm... What? Russ: Ty might have called. S01E04 Lina: (Sighs) If the braces don't get tightened, then they can't do anything. They're just metal in her mouth. What about calling Bernie? I mean, doesn't he owe us... Russ: Stop. Stop. I'm lucky to have a friend who throws me extra work. It's not cool for me to harass him every time he's behind. Lina: Who cares if it's cool? We're too broke to be cool. Russ: Being broke is cool. Lina: In your 20s. Russ: Well, I can still pull it off. Lina: You sure about that? Russ: Maybe you should call Jess. She offered to help you with your resumee. (Groans) Lina: Okay, I know I have to get a job. I just... (Sighs) I'll call Jess. (Whirring) Russ: Hey. Bernie! Bernie: Oh, hey. Russ: Hey, uh, you got a sec?
SUMMARY:
An orthodontist fee forces Russ to confront Bernie for payment on a recent design, but Bernie in turn blames a college fraternity for failing to pay him. The two get some "muscle" to persuade the frat leader to pay up, and in the process of visiting the frat house realize how uncool they have become.
