Congratulations.

She's my sweetheart.

Studies graphic design.

I had her do my business card.

- This your place?

- No, just keeping it warm.

Why don't you scan those leases

and email them to Fannie and BoA.

So, Nash, why aren't you married?

I don't really got time for it.

I don't trust a man who's not married.

Nobody does.

Wanna tell me

what happened to Connor's mum?

I don't think so, no.

Prom night fiasco?

Close, pretty close.

The cheque for the AC

and pool pumps came in.

It's a lot higher

than what I expected.

You wanna keep that?

I'll give you the three grand

I already made.

And whatever my share is

from these leases.

Cos I want my home back.

The BPO on your home

came in at 170K.

I'll buy it

and then you'll owe me 155

at 12% amortised over a 30-year period

with a two-year balloon.

That's a shitty rate, Rick.

No bank's gonna loan you that money.

If you don't pay, I'm on the hook.

I don't want that property.

It has no future.

- Yeah, but that's my family home.

- It's a home.

But if you want it, it's yours.

It'll take eight to 12 weeks

for the bank to list it on the MLS.

You can do repairs,

but you can't move in till then.

Can we figure out

some kind of contract?

Yeah, I'll have the office

draw up a contract for deed.

Is it mine again?

Yeah, it's yours.

OK, thank you.

Seriously, thank you.

- Rick, thank you.

- All right.

No tears.

Drink?

No, I'm good, I'm good.

High on life.

Well, you might wanna reconsider.

We got one more stop.

224 Lake View Court.

Is that Mr Tanner? I offered him

a cash-for-keys from the bank.

Guess what? He never called.

And his eviction's today.

You can pop your cherry

with this one.

First one's a b*tch,

but you get numb to it.

All you gotta do

is stand next to me today,

but after this

you're gonna do 'em on your own.

Listen, Rick, I don't...

- Could I... Could I just...

- Go f*** yourself? Yeah.

What did you think it was gonna mean,

working for me?

- I just thought that maybe...

- No, you didn't. You didn't think.

You didn't have the guts

to ask me either. Nobody does.

Because who in their right mind

wouldn't rather put someone in a home

than drag 'em out of it?

Up until three years ago

I was a regular old real-estate agent.

Putting people in homes,

speculating on property, that was my job.

Now, in 2006 Robert and Julia Tanner

borrowed $30,000

to put an enclosed patio on their home

that they had somehow managed

to live without for 25 years.

Why don't you ask them about that

when they're spitting in your face

while you walk 'em to the kerb?

Why don't you ask the bank

what they were thinking

giving them

an adjustable-rate mortgage?

Then you can go to the government

and ask why they lifted every regulation

and sat there like a retarded stepchild.

You, Tanner, the banks, Washington,

every other homeowner

and investor from here to China

turned my life into evictions.

I'm not an aristocrat.

I wasn't born into this.

My daddy was a roofer, OK?

I grew up on construction sites

watching him bust his arse

until he fell off of a townhouse one day.

A lifetime of insurance payments

and they dropped him

before he could buy a wheelchair,

but only after they got him

hooked on painkillers.

Do you think

I'm gonna let that happen to me?

Do you think America 2010

gives a flying rat's arse about Carver?

Or Nash?

Uh-uh. America

doesn't bail out the losers.

America was built

by bailing out winners,

by rigging a nation

of the winners for the winners

by the winners.

You go to church, Nash?

- You go to church?

- Sure.

Only one in 100

is gonna get on that ark, son.

And every other poor soul's

gonna drown.

I'm not gonna drown.

I wanna do it alone.

I've seen you do it.

I know how it's done.

I'll do it alone.

Help yourself.

Wow.

Rick told me there was a new guy.

Let's go, rookie.

I didn't get all dressed up

just for you.

You ready?

Mr Tanner?

Yeah.

- Mr Nash.

- Mr Tanner.

Good morning.

Dennis Nash from Rick Carver Realty.

Remember?

I remember you, Mr Nash.

- What do you want?

- I hate to say it,

but your eviction

is scheduled for today.

And, um, your house

has been foreclosed on

and it's been transferred to the bank.

Now, I hate to be here doing this,

but I'm gonna have to ask you

to leave the property.

Now, look, my wife's on the phone

with her attorney right now.

There's been a mix-up.

We're gonna get this sorted out.

If there's been a mix-up, sir,

I can't do anything about that.

I'm just gonna have to ask you to leave.

I can't do anything about that.

Look, honey,

have you got him on the phone?

Yeah.

It doesn't matter whatever's happening

on the phone or not with your lawyer.

- This is happening now.

- He said he'd call us back.

Well, there you go.

This is gonna have to wait.

Now, look we've got an appeal filed,

- so there's no point in you being here.

- I understand how you're feeling.

It's a tough day and...

We're going to have to wait

till he calls back. We can't leave today.

- I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

- We're not ready for this.

What I can do is give you some time

to go into the house,

grab all the stuff you need,

whether it's medicine,

stuff for your baby,

jewellery, any pictures,

anything valuable.

No, no, no. You aren't supposed

to be here today, OK?

So you're leaving.

I can only give you a few minutes

to grab some personal belongings.

- I'm gonna ask you to leave.

- You are leaving.

- We need to calm down.

- I am calm.

We're not going back.

Do not close the door.

You're all trespassing.

All of you, get off of my property.

No, sir, you and your wife

are trespassing.

This is the property of the bank now.

We're giving you an opportunity

to collect some of your belongings.

I suggest you take advantage of it.

There's two ways to do this:

the easy way where you pack up and go

or I escort you to jail.

It's your choice.

Yes. Let's go.

- Gonna clear it.

- Gonna clear it.

All right, we're clear.

Now.

Be careful.

You wanna handle that?

You know what to do.

Mr Tanner, I'm gonna have

to ask you to move to the kerb.

- What?

- I know, I know. I'm sorry.

Real sorry.

- If I can help you with anything...

- No, I got it, I got it.

- Let me grab this.

- No, no, no, no. I got it.

I'm sorry. I didn't wanna do this today.

I tried to avoid this.

How do you live with yourself?

You make me sick.

It's OK, baby. It's OK, baby.

Oh, honey. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- Where are we going?

- Where do you think we're going?

- To see the Orlando Magic practise.

- Er, close, actually pretty close.

We're gonna get myself

a tattoo of a snake

all over my arm,

wrapping around my arm.

You want a tattoo of a snake?

I'll give you a tattoo of a snake.

- Ow!

- That will be the day.

Are we gonna pull up?

Get out.

What are we doing here?

- Take that.

- What are we doing?

- What are you doing, Dennis?

- What are we doing here?
