I'm a busy woman.

Do you have an offer to make?

Mrs. Barrett, I appreciate how

patient you're being with me here,

but the odds of you finding another

white limited edition Chevy Tahoe

with all of these features

is pretty small.

To be honest, finding

any white limited edition SUV

in the state of Arizona right

now is practically impossible.

I know the competition.

I know their inventory.

You go to any dealership right now, and

I promise you you're not gonna find...

Mr. Chamberlain...

You're obviously

a very successful

businesswoman,

Mrs. Barrett,

and I am not trying to

pull one over on you here.

I am just trying to make sure

that you have all of the facts

before you make your decision.

Now obviously

as a successful businesswoman,

you know more than most

that time is money,

and I'm not just trying

to save you time here.

I'm actually saving you money.

Oh, yeah?

How do you figure?

What's your current monthly

car payment right now?

$600 a month.

$600 a month,

and that's on a car

that's about a year

out of warranty, right?

That's right.

Okay, so in that

short amount of time,

how much do you think you've

spent on maintenance, repairs?

500 bucks?

Try more like 1,000,

which is why I'm trying

to get rid of it.

Right. And I bet you haven't

budgeted for that thousand, right?

Because nobody does ever,

including me, by the way,

and I work in the business.

So you take that $1,000,

and then you divide it

by 12 months, what do you get?

$83.

And 33 cents,

on top of the monthly payment.

With all due respect,

Mrs. Barrett,

I'm actually saving you money.

That's a fair point.

I see you're a coffee drinker.

My addiction...

Triple soy lattes,

extra hot.

You?

Large double-caff,

extra hot.

Look, I'm just having

a good time here,

but with the $83 I just

saved you, that's what,

16 free large

double-caff lattes?

Extra hot.

Listen, Mr. Chamberlain,

you're making some

really good points here,

but I really don't like being...

Taken advantage of.

I know.

You know that land they're clearing

down by Greenway on the 101?

Yeah.

They're clearing that

for a new dealership.

My new dealership.

Look, Mrs. Barrett,

I know how people feel

about car salesmen.

Most of the time,

I completely understand.

I can't tell you how much I wanna

build something different...

A place where something like

this doesn't have to happen.

I want to build a place

where I don't

have to let go of one of my

best guys because of it.

You might not believe this,

but I want to build

a dealership that's...

Based on, you know,

relationships,

and not just in the short term,

but I want to take care of your

daughter and your daughter's daughter.

I want you to come to me every

time you want to buy a car,

not because you feel

like you have to,

but because you want to.

You know, I'm married,

hopefully starting

a family soon,

so I get it.

And that's why I really,

really want to do business

with you here today.

So what do you say?

Oh, yeah, aerobics, jazzercise,

I mean, high impact...

Mark:
Tyler.

Do you know where Christian is?

Yeah, I think, um...

I'm not sure.

Okay. It's fine. Uh, you

know where detail is, right?

Could you please grab

Mrs. Barrett's new SUV

and take it over there?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Mrs. Barrett...

Please, Nancy.

Nancy.

Such a pleasure.

And, please, once the

new store is finished,

come by, and pop in. We'll

grab one of those lattes.

It's a deal.

Thank you so much, mark.

Take care.

Nancy:
All right.

You know that

puts me at 30, right?

And how do you get to 30?

Closed the one earlier today.

Right.

Then the two-car

deal here.

Which I really shouldn't

count, but go on.

Plus the one I just wrapped up

with Jan and tom.

Bonus time, baby.

You mean the half that you

wrapped up with Jan and tom.

No, the guy I trunked.

With green pea.

Yeah, I'm no mathematician,

but I'm pretty sure that 26

plus 3 1/2,

yeah. Yeah,

that doesn't equal 30.

Sorry, chief.

Sharing is caring. 29 1/2.

Sorry, man.

Mm. Nothing like

half a deal

costing you, what,

two, three grand?

There he is.

So how often does

that happen, huh?

First day on the job,

and not only

do I sell a car,

but I trunk somebody?

Whew.

Green pea...

Nah, it's Tyler now.

I remember mark

saying specifically

I got a name once I sold a car.

Right. And speaking

of remembering,

do you remember that

little story this morning

I told you about the

lion and the gazelle?

Oh, yeah. What about it?

Because there's

one part of the story,

ahh, I completely left out.

Yeah. What's that?

In every lion pride,

there's a king.

I already knew that.

Right.

But what you didn't know

is that the king...

Always eats first.

Is that just another

number one rule?

Jump up and down for me.

Jump up and down.

No, seriously.

Come on. Jump up and down.

It's cool.

There you go.

Ah, come on. Jump.

I know.

Good.

Now that your balls

have dropped,

I can explain to you the

reason for our lesson.

There is no number one rule.

Okay? It changes to fit

the circumstances.

Whatever it takes, Tyler.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

That depends.

Are you mark Chamberlain?

I am.

Then, yes, you can.

I assume this is in regards to Mr.

Mcmillen,

and we already spoke

this afternoon,

so I'm afraid I'm gonna have

to refer you to my attorney.

Mr. Chamberlain, I have no idea who our Mr.

Mcmillen is.

However, I do represent

someone else,

and you, sir, have been served.

Have a great day.

Sometime they're doing

this next week.

What do you think?

Yeah?

Yeah, Sharon told me.

Look, sorry, man,

but when you started

selling everybody out,

all for the shot at a store...

Man, this wasn't

just about a store.

Then what was it, mark?

You know, when I was

about 9 or 10 years old,

I used to, uh, sleep over

at my best friend's house.

F***ing...

F***ing tough as nails,

runt of a kid...

Whose dad used to beat the sh*t

out of him pretty regularly.

Black and blue, welts,

the works.

And as horrific as that was...

It wasn't the craziest thing,

because the craziest thing

was this kid would

walk around his house

all the time

with his shirt off...

Like those bruises

were a badge of honor.

And I'd ask him.

I'd say... I'd say,

"why are you doing this?

Why not just run away?"

You know what he said to me?

He said,

"he's my father, mark."

"If I do that, he wins."

But he's my father, Boyd.

And I've taken my own

beatings, all right?

But today

I made 300 cars happen.

Today, I got my own store.

Today, I've won.

But I just... I would

expect you of all people

to understand that.

I do, mark.

But I told you that

when I was 10.

You gotta be kidding me, man.

Steve:
Boy, we just received

the numbers, Mr. Chamberlain,

and I have to say that is quite

a day you guys put together.

Well, I know. I know.

What can I say?

Mark's a comer. He'll own

his own store someday.

Well, it looks to me like we're
