Be Kind Rewind Page #3

how the sabotage went?

No, I wasn't, actually.

Oh, come on,

ask me how the sabotage went.

Okay, how'd the sabotage go?

Terrible. It was a two-man operation.

- It was a two-person sabotage.

- Shh.

Ma'am, if you need any help,

just let me know.

How about if I need any help?

Should I let you know?

- I wasn't talking to you.

- Yeah, apparently not.

Thanks.

Oh, that's not in alphabetical order.

I know that, it's the new order.

Excuse me.

- Do you work here? I don't think so.

- Jerry.

Haven't you heard

about the new West Coast Video...

...more efficient,

non-alphabetical order...

... Miss l-Know-Where-to-Put-the-Videos?

No, it's time for me

to educate your customers.

Do you put everything in your house

in alphabetical order?

- Like all of your food in the refrigerator?

- You know, maybe...

- Apples, bananas, carrots.

- She might, and that would be fine...

- Ding-Dongs.

...because she didn't do anything wrong.

You know what I just realized?

I bet she's super-organized.

She's really like:

I hate those kind of people.

- You are incredibly rude.

- Don't attack me, lady.

- You're incredibly rude, mister.

- Are you done yelling in my ear?

- I'm sorry, ma'am.

- I'm sorry.

Did I put your forks

into the spoon drawer?

- Go home.

- Don't put the TV next to the radio.

- Why don't you just go, go, go?

- Get some rest.

- Lunatic!

- You're the cuckoo. Hey. Hey.

Don't put the shoes in the refrigerator,

because they'll get cold.

- Wow...

- Dumb broad.

- I am really, really sorry.

- Yeah.

He's a veteran, actually.

He's had a lot of exposure to,

you know, chemicals and stuff.

If there's anything you need, we got...

We got books, we got albums.

I got some refreshments

in the icebox.

Okay, I appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Fletcher...

...you'll pull through. Every time you think

it's the end, you always pull through.

Look here, look here, Mo.

I wish it was that easy, man.

But not this time.

I can't adapt, and that's why I'm broke.

Fletcher, this is America.

Anybody can make money.

But you...

No, let me show you something.

We made a ton of money

with this little thing.

- What, this is a dish-squirting brush?

- Mm-hm.

- And the soap goes in here?

- Yep. Yep.

- A great idea.

- You know, the squirting idea...

... has been around for years.

But we didn't make squat

until we added this.

A stainless-steel cover on the handle.

People going crazy over it.

- Man, our sales increased 800 percent.

- What?

And we expanded our market share

tenfold in two years.

You need to go visit all

of the successful renting businesses...

...and learn and adapt.

You said you can't adapt.

Adapt. Then just give the people

what they want.

- That's all you gotta do.

- Give the people what they want.

Hello?

Hello, Miss Falewicz? It's...

I... I know who this is, Mr. Fletcher.

I... I was hoping to hear from you.

I was calling regarding the tape

of Driving Miss Daisy.

Mike told me you still have it.

Oh, do I?

Well, I'll find it and...

And bring it by tomorrow.

Oh, no hurry.

I'm... I'm out of town anyway.

I'm doing a little work

and doing a little research.

Oh? Well, how long will you be gone?

- A week at the most.

- Really.

- Can I ask a favor?

- Yes.

Would you keep an eye out on Jerry

for me while I'm gone?

He destroys everything he touches.

Hi, good morning.

- It's blank.

- I'm sorry?

Rewound this tape all over,

and it's blank.

Really? Did you check the...?

Sure did. Checked that.

You know, sometimes

you gotta use head cleaner...

Okay. I did that, actually.

It'll eat the tapes.

I'll just pop it in, see what's going on.

Excuse me, this video don't work.

- Sorry?

- It don't work.

It does... It won't play?

No, I rewound it,

I played it and everything.

It's nothing but fuzz. Yeah, like that.

Huh. Is your VCR NTSC?

No, it's brand-new.

Do you always blame

everything on the customer?

- No, not at all.

- Where is...?

Where's...? Where's Mr. Fletcher?

He's away on a...

On a memorial trip...

...so he left me in charge

as manager of the store.

So you know what I'm gonna do?

Both of you, free of charge, can have

any two tapes that you'd like in the shop.

No, thanks. What I would like

is to be reimbursed my dollar.

- Okay.

- Because I've had enough.

Okay. Is there anything

that I could do to make...?

No, just my dollar.

I'll just... I was just...

- I'm really sorry about all this.

- Unfortunate.

Yeah, the whole thing is unfortunate.

This button... I'm really... Okay.

That one right there.

I tried... Oh, that's not it either.

You know what?

I think I have a dollar.

- Okay, there it is.

- Good. Okay, great.

I'm really very sorry about that.

Thank you.

You don't have to mention this

to Mr. Fletcher.

- Give me my dollar.

- You can have it.

Okay, not... Not a problem.

I'm sorry about that.

- Uh-huh.

- All right, I got these two.

Okay, that's... Okay, not a problem.

Stop.

No! No!

All the tapes are blank.

The movies, all of them, they're all...

They're all gone,

all the tapes are gone.

Where?

Mr. Fletcher's gonna flip

when he sees this.

You know that look he has on his face.

He's gonna be so disappointed...

...that he left me with this responsibility.

Look, look, look.

What the duck?

All the tapes are like this.

All the tapes.

I tried every tape on this table.

Relax. It's the TV, Mike.

The TV's malfunctioning.

- It's not all the videotapes. Think about it.

- Well, show me what it's doing.

Show me how... What was that?

Maybe that's the picture coming back.

Wait, do... What was that?

Why is it doing that?

Does that happen when you do it?

No, it hasn't done that at all... Wow.

What is that?

Why is it doing that when you do that?

What is wrong with you?

You're magnetized.

You...

You erased these tapes.

It's you.

What happened

during the sabotage attempt, Jerry?

I didn't sabotage the power plant,

the power plant sabotaged me.

Really? The power plant

sabotaged you?

- I'm gonna sabotage you.

- I'm magnetized!

I'm not gonna get... Are you serious?

Sabotage a power plant?

What are you, a superhero?

Don't do this, man.

You were right.

I did have the Driving Miss Daisy tape

at home.

Oh, good, that's really good.

Thank you for returning the tape.

I like your ensemble.

Listen, I wanna rent Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters.

Is that out?

Isn't that a horror movie?

- Really?

- Yeah.

- That could be interesting.

- Miss Falafelwicz...

- It's Falewicz.

- It's actually got a lot of nudity in it.

- So...

- Oh, you. Come on.

You're pulling my leg.

We're right in the middle

of reorganizing.

That's why all the tapes are there like that.

We're getting the stock together.

I think you should know

that Mr. Fletcher...

...calls me every night at 8 p.m.

just to see how I am.

And I think he would not be pleased

to see his business go off the deep end...

...because some sort of boxing match

going on on his premises.
