Turtle & Canary, Tuesday

"Seriously?" Mike asked, as Apu hung a large HELP WANTED sign in the window. "You never thought to hire anyone to help you out after the old owner left?" He sighed and shook his head. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I admire all the work you put into this place, but a guy's got to have a life, too. I think I got a handle on things, here -- why don't you take the day off?"

Apu stared at him in shock and bewilderment, and let loose a torrent of words that basically boiled down to: he wasn't ever going to leave the store, not even for a day, because it was his life, and he didn't know what he'd do with a day off, and please don't make him.

After a while, Mike shrugged and waved for Apu to stop. "All right, all right, already. I'm not gonna make you do anything you don't want to do. I'm just saying, if you need it, I've got your back."
