Greta Duréel

Margaretha "Greta" Brita Duréel (died in June 1696), was a Swedish noble. She was the central figure in the stora juvelsveket (The Great Jewelfraud), a fraud committed against the Swedish National Bank b a group of women in the 1690s.

Greta Duréel was the daughter of the noble Peter Nilsson Duréel and married the noble courtier Arvid Appelgren in 1683.

At this point, it was possible to be given loans from the Swedish National Bank in exchange for a Pledge (law) of personal property. The pledges were examined and approved by the jeweler Paul Wijkman, but once inspected and sealed, they were placed in the bank without further inspections. Duréel hired the wife of an ensign, Maria Eriksdotter, as a go-between. Maria Eriksdotter collected the boxes containing the pledges after they had been approved and brought them to her. Duréel emptied the boxes of their content, replaced them with worthless objects, and sealed them again using the forged seal of Wijkman. Thereafter, the forged pledges were given as security for loans from the bank.

Buy More

Buy More is a fictional big-box electronics retail chain in NBC's action-comedy series Chuck. The Buy More is a parody of similar chains, particularly Best Buy.

The notable employees of the Buy More fit into three categories: management, Nerd Herd (technical support), and sales associates (who are called "Green Shirts" on account of their uniforms). Current and recent notable employees are listed by their last held position.

Series

The series' eponymous character Chuck Bartowski, and most of the principal characters, are employed at the Burbank branch of the Buy More for most of the entire series. The store is located at 9000 Burbank Boulevard. Every episode touches on the store at some point, whether for a substantial comedic side plot or as the scene of some of the series' spy action, particularly in the first two seasons. The Burbank Buy More is involved in a fierce rivalry with the nearby Beverly Hills location, often involving vicious pranks between the stores, as highlighted in "Chuck Versus the Predator". Neighboring "big box" stores in the shopping center are Large Mart and Underpants Etc. The employees of Buy More and Large Mart have a fragile truce concerning pranks and sabotage of each other's store. Restaurants across the parking lot include Wienerlicious, a fast-food retailer specializing in hot dogs and sausages, in season 1; Orange Orange, a frozen yogurt store, in seasons 2 and 3; and a Bennigan's.Sarah Walker maintains a cover as an employee of the Wienerlicious and, subsequently, the Orange Orange. The Orange Orange – like the Buy More – is a façade for, and secret entrance to, the underground Castle base.

Plot

Greta (Hilary Duff) is seventeen, a bright and beautiful young woman. However, she is also rebellious as a consequence of her turbulent home life.

She tells them that she fully intends to kill herself before the summer is over and compiles a notebook of suicide methods.

Greta's sarcastic attitude results in her being offered a job as a waitress at a local seafood restaurant. While working there, her odd sense of humour makes her attractive to many customers. Greta falls for a charismatic short-order cook named Julie (Evan Ross). When he reveals to her that he was once incarcerated in a juvenile correctional facility for stealing cars, Greta is even more attracted to him. Julie tells her that his experience made him determined to do something positive with his life and he attempts to convince Greta to not give up on hers. He is alarmed when he sees Greta's 'suicide list.'
