Sh*t.

Sharon:
You can

say that again.

I need to speak to the

owner right f***ing now!

Mark, line two.

Mark, line two.

Right f***ing now!

Sharon:
You can

say that again.

I need to speak

to the owner right now!

No. No, Sharon, I told you

I am not unwinding sh*t.

Yo, boss.

Pull your heads

out of your asses

right now, because the

clock is ticking.

Look, I know it's not easy working for

your old man, but you gonna have...

Don't go there.

Mother-daughter two-car

deal, where we at?

They'll be here in an hour.

Better be.

My name's Tyler.

No, it's green pea.

You get a name

when you sell a car.

Whatever it takes!

I've had to do some things

that I'm not exactly proud of.

Mark, they believe you,

and you go,

and you pull this sh*t.

Bullshit, Boyd!

I need someone to step up.

What do you need me to do?

Some of us have to fight.

It's what you have to do

to get what you want.

F*** you.

What do I tell them?

What do you tell them?!

What's the catch?

You still don't get it,

do you, mark?

But if I were you,

I would tell them to hit

300 f***ing cars.

Now, do you understand me?!

All:
Yes!

Come on! I said,

"do you understand me?!"

Yes!

Yes!

Let's get fired up

and go sell some f***ing cars!

Morning.

Hey, Andy. Morning.

Conference room, guys.

Hey. Good morning.

Could you, uh, page everyone

to the conference room, please?

Certainly.

All sales associates to the

conference room, please.

All sales associates to the

conference room immediately.

Hmm.

Okay. Don't get

into too much trouble today.

Mark.

Yeah?

Coffee.

Come on.

You know that was for you.

Have a good one.

You, too.

Fellas, that means you. Come on.

Let's go.

Conference room.

Hey, boss.

Hey, um, I don't mean

to be an ass,

but, uh, did I hear right?

We're not getting paid

on Monday?

You did.

I know you're concerned, Quinn.

Trust me.

I'm looking into it.

Talk about it in the meeting.

I-it's just that Sarah...

My Sarah's been calling me every

10 minutes, freaking out,

and I don't know

what to tell her.

Not only is our rent due Monday,

but we're way behind

on almost all of our bills,

and I'm already, like, two

weeks late on our car payment.

Yeah, Quinn...

I'm working on it.

Yeah.

Hey.

How much is that car payment?

250 bucks.

I'll see you at the meeting.

Christian:

Let's just say,

wanna see the Gauge spin.

Hey.

Did you really close

that two-car

mother-daughter deal?

They both contracted, but only

daughter took delivery. Speaking...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa. What?

What do you mean only the

daughter took delivery?

The mother forgot

her driver's license. What?

Since when does somebody not

having their driver's license

stop us from delivering

a car? That's what.

Trust me.

The deal's done.

Closed?

Have I ever let you down?

Yes.

See you in the conference room.

Christian:

Yeah.

Scottie, you look like sh*t.

Yeah, well, try working four

back-to-back weeks of 17-hour days.

17? Those half-days?

Yeah, and then after

locking up at 1:
00 A.M.,

I got to spend six

hours in the hospital.

No sh*t?

He as ugly as you?

I don't know yet.

She was still in labor

when I left.

What? Why are

you still here?

'Cause I gotta recap

yesterday's deals.

That's something

Boyd could have done.

My deals, my responsibility.

Plus I ran into your old man.

And?

And he said

I can't leave

until she gets closer

or the hospital pages me.

All right, I'll talk to him.

Yeah, good luck with that.

What the f***? Does nobody

hear pages around here?

Hello! All associates

to the conference room,

please, immediately!

Now!

F***.

1:
00 A.M., huh?

I'm gonna go ahead and assume

that the lack of stars

on the board

is an indicator

that you were busy,

because that looks exactly

like I left it last night.

Tell me where we actually

finished, Scott.

Not so good.

Yeah, evidently.

Here I am thinking that

my phone not ringing

and you not picking up yours

is a sign that you

had a handle on things.

I figured you had your own

little problem to deal with.

Someone please tell me

where we finished.

Where did we finish?

What?

11? Wha...

Shortly after you left,

the wheels kind of fell off.

I left three hours early.

You're telling me you can't

handle the store for three hours?

We made every deal

possible, all right,

probably some we shouldn't have.

W-wait. Wait. Barrett.

Is this the mother

from Christian's

two-car deal?

Yeah.

She, uh...

Bought the black limited?

No, she bought the white one.

Wait. Did I board it

as a black one?

I don't know, but if

this gross is right,

it better have been a black one.

No, no, no. No.

She... she bought

the white one.

Then why do you have it boarded

as a $1,000 loser, Scott?

Because those were

the numbers you gave me.

Bullshit! I told you

MSRP on the white one

and a grand back

of invoice on the black.

Why would I give her

the same deal

on the last white

special edition model of car,

something that we consistently

sell for sticker,

as I would a black one with

6,000 miles on it, Scott?

We live in Arizona, man!

People drive white cars.

I don't know.

She told me that you told her

it was the same price.

I'm sorry.

Which one is it, Scott?

Those were the numbers

I gave you,

or she told you I told her

they were the same price?

What's the number one rule

in the car business, Scott?

Buyers are liars.

Buyers are liars.

That's right.

F***.

Does my dad know?

Reynolds does.

Then he knows.

How long do you think I can

keep him off your back?

Speaking of Judas, where is he?

Where do you think?

In throwing you

under the bus as usual.

F***. It's morning, and

I'm already fading heat.

Look, I'm sorry.

We were down 12 cars,

and it was late. We were

having a shitty day.

Oh, and this deal

bettered it somehow?

What's going on with you, man?

These mistakes,

they're becoming habitual.

Look, I f***ed up, okay?

If you haven't

noticed lately, mark,

I'm a little stressed.

Right.

Yeah, because you're the only

one with f***ing problems.

Boyd.

Yes.

You make sure

those cars get reported.

Got it. Hey.

This is Scott.

Did... did I hear right?

These guys aren't

getting paid on Monday?

Don't ask, okay?

Man, holding back their pay

in this climate

is just brutal...

Yeah. I know.

Even for your old man.

I think you know that.

I'm on it.

Hey, do you want me

to start the meeting,

put on a training video?

I don't know, Scott. You

think you can handle that?

How does it all look, Steve?

Think it's great.

You know, you're tracking

along really fine.

One thing I did need

to ask you, though,

you did get the letter of intent

from Detroit yesterday, right?

I did. Got it right here

on my desk.

Fantastic.

All we need now

is confirmation from your bank

that the $300,000 will hit

the escrow on Monday,

and you will be Scottsdale's

new franchise dealer.

No problem. We'll have it

over to you Monday morning.

Excellent. I did

have a chance to review
