In this episode, the training begins. Our hero is in the first class of the day starting at 7:00 AM. As the training starts, Mr. Grimes gives a rah-rah speech to let everyone know that the War on Waste program just may save the company and he wanted all employees engaged to make that happen. Mr. Grimes introduces Mike Day, the Union bargaining agent, who has been an aggressive adversary in the past but now is supporting the training program with Mr. Grimes. Grimes introduces Dr. Elbie to everyone and he reads a disturbing quote from Konusuke Matsushita in a speech he gave in 1982. And that will lead into the next episode.
