New York as an Exterminator on Episode One of New York Goes to Work
America decided to make New York an exterminator this week. A few of the specialists will be helping New York along the way. They tell her that only 50 percent of people make it through their first day. They get her a gift in a can, but before she can open it she sees mice in a cage and starts screaming. Then she sees the snake and jumps on her boss screaming. Turns out, the snake was made of rubber.
New York Sprays For Bugs And Finds Some Bees
She gets dressed in her exterminator uniform and heads out to catch some vermin. Her first task was spraying for bugs. At first, she enjoys spraying the poison but when she sees bees, she runs away. But then she gets motivated and suits up in a bee suit to get rid of the bees. She says she's "gonna be the queen bee in charge!"
Looking For Snakes in the Yard
New York's next task is to get rid of the snakes in the yard. Once she sees a snake, she goes running...again. But once again, she decides that the $10,000 is worth it so she goes back. She says, "don't let the snake kill me!" She tries to clamp the snake with her claw and after a few tries, she successfully catches it and puts it in a bag.
New York Gets Rid of Dead Animals
She is told that she has to go under the basement to remove a dead animal. With a white suit and a face mask, she prepares to go under the house. She paces back and forth saying that she doesn't want to do it. The guy in charge tells her that there's a helmet for her to wear with a camera to make sure she's doing the job correctly. He tells her that she just has to crawl under, grab the animal and crawl back out. After attempting to do it, she walks away saying the rat was huge and she would not do it.
She goes to take a look again but runs aways screaming, saying she saw something moving. Jason, the guy helping her, tells her to relax and just do it. Ignoring Jason's advice, New York freaks out and says she just can't do it. She says the rats can kiss her black ass.
Does New York Get the $10,000 for Being an Exterminator?
Once back at the headquarters with the head exterminator, Randy, New York receives a pass or fail grade from each of the exterminators that helped her along the way. For the bug spraying and bee catching task, New York receives a pass. For snake catching, she also receives a pass. Jason, the dead animal removal gives New York a fail because she left him hanging instead of backing him up to remove the animals.
Randy tells her that since she received two passes, she is an exterminator and gets her check for $10,000 for the day.
