:12:00
Why are these ceilings so low?
:12:02
Low overhead, my boy!
We pass the savings on to you.
:12:07
But seriously,
that'll all be covered in orientation.

[ Man ] Welcome to
the seven and a half floor
of the Mertin Flemmer Building.
:12:43
As you'll now be spending
your work day here, it is important...
:12:46
that you learn a bit about the history
of this famous floor.
:12:49
- Hello, Don.
- Hello, Wendy.
:12:51
Don, I was wondering,
do you know why...
:12:54
our workplace
has such low ceilings?
:12:56
It's an interesting story.
Many years ago in the late 1 800s...
:13:00
James Mertin, an I rish ship captain,
came to this town...
:13:04
and decided to erect
an office building.
:13:06
He called this building the
Mertin Flemmer Building after himself...
:13:10
and someone else, who local legend
has it was named Flemmer.
:13:13
Well, one day, old Captain Mertin
received an unexpected visitor.
:13:17
- Captain Mertin?
- Aye. What want ye, girl child?
:13:21
I'm not a child, but rather
an adult lady of miniature proportions.
:13:25
I see. Well, if it's
charity you're after...
:13:28
be gone with ye,
you foul demon!
:13:31
I'm not asking for alms...
:13:33
but, rather, the ear of a kind man
with a noble heart.
:13:36
[Captain]
Well, speak then, if you must.
:13:39
Captain Mertin, I'm afraid hat
the world was not built with me in mind.
:13:43
Doorknobs are too high,
chairs are unwieldy...
:13:46
and high-ceilinged rooms
mock my stature.
:13:49
Why cannot there be a place for me
to work that's safe and comfortable?
:13:53
[Captain]
Thy story has moved me like no other.
:13:57
Therefore, I shall make ye--
[ Groans ] me wife.
