Mark is the sales manager at Chamberlain Auto, the dealership that promises to do "Whatever It Takes" to put you in a new car. But on a scorching hot Saturday in the middle of the Phoenix summer, Mark has a chance to get his own dealership - and out from under the thumb of his father. Mark has to sell thirty-five cars by the end of the day. The question: Will Mark do whatever it takes - including betraying his sales team and himself - to get what he wants?

your retail delivery reports.

Give mark a pat

on the back for me.

He's really done

a superb job down there.

And, uh...

Will do.

Will do, Steve.

Excellent. All right, Mr.

Chamberlain.

I guess I will talk

to you on Monday.

Sounds good.

So we're good?

If you hold payroll

like I told you.

Little over 150 grand,

just like you said.

Then we're good.

What about the other 150?

Handled.

I'm wholesaling cars

to Ahmad this afternoon.

Ahmad?

You sure you want to do

business with Ahmad?

I mean, he's nothing

like his old man.

Yeah, well...

What son is?

Morning.

Don't f***ing morning me.

I just spent the last 15 minutes

kissing Steve's ass,

our dealer rep.

He had the latest retail delivery

report thrown in his face

showing that we are getting

our asses handed to us.

Not only is he fully unimpressed

by the job you're doing,

he tells me that if we can't

run this store properly,

he's not sure

we can run another one.

We had a bad night.

A bad night?

On the second to the last day

of an already shitty

month, you come out early,

leaving the nuts

to run the asylum,

and we close with 11?

Yes, sir, 11.

Look, dad, I had to

get home, all right?

Ashley is threatening

to leave me. I had no...

Apparently you're confusing me

with someone who gives a sh*t.

That's your personal business.

Do it on your own time.

Stop wasting mine.

Now what's this I hear

about your manager

giving away my cars,

a white SUV

in a two-car deal?

I'm confused as to why Scott

doesn't know that his job here

is to make me money,

not to lose it.

He knows it was a mistake.

A mistake?!

Why is it when employees f***

with my money, it's a mistake,

but when I f*** with

theirs, it's stealing.

Which begs the question,

why is there another

voucher signed by you

for $5,000 on my desk?

It's the spiff money

for the weekend.

I already paid out $10,000

in spiff money this month.

How much spiff money

do you need?

They're not getting

their paychecks on Monday.

And...

And they got

their d*cks in the dirt.

They'll live.

"They'll live"?

80% of these guys live

paycheck to paycheck.

Well, then maybe they'd better

learn to manage their money.

Oh, yeah? How do you

manage something

you never had in the f***ing

first place, Reynolds?

Hey, I don't care how they live!

In case you've forgotten,

we need $300,000

in closing costs

for a certain new dealership,

so if these guys have a problem

not receiving their paychecks

for three or four days,

you can fire

their f***ing asses.

And now that we've

touched on firing,

now is as good a time as any.

You should start with Scott.

Well, you said it yourself.

Scott made a mistake.

Only, this one's

a career changer.

He's having a baby.

Well, then he'll

have plenty of time

to spend with him, won't he?

What? You don't like the

way I run the store?

It's not how

I'd run the new one.

Oh, really?

You know, you said that

as if you think you're

really going to get it.

Is that not what we discussed?

Sh*t, you can't even

run this one...

No one f***ing

asked you, Reynolds!

No, it's a valid point.

I'm beginning to wonder

if you're really ready.

If I could actually give you

the reins to a brand-new store

with double the workforce,

could you handle it properly?

Is that really your concern?

What, you think it's different?

Hey, son, if you had

the sand to think it,

then by all means, say it.

Do you think you have what

it takes to be a dealer?

Huh, chief, to be an owner?

Is that a trick question?

No.

Then, yeah, absolutely.

Good, because today

we're going to find out.

Mark, you hit 300, retail,

sold and reported

by 5:
00,

and put a bullet

in Scott's head,

then that new dealership

is yours.

You don't,

and you get what you see

when you close your eyes.

What about the checks?

What about them?

What do I tell them?

Tell them? You still don't

get it, do you, mark?

Oh, that's right. That's

not what you would do

if you ran the new dealership.

But if I were you,

I would tell them whatever

I needed to tell them

to hit 300 f***ing cars.

Tell them the check

machine ran out of ink.

Tell them you ran out of checks.

Tell them

a f***ing bedtime story.

I don't give a sh*t!

But I suggest that you

stop coddling these guys.

Get tough.

Get eight inches deep

up someone's ass.

Whatever it takes.

Because believe me, son,

if you can't or won't,

I can assure you...

I will find someone...

Who can and will.

Get past it.

Get past it.

Get past...

In the hole!

Shunk.

He wishes. Hey.

It's daddy's deal.

Everybody, listen up.

Everybody, listen up.

What's up?

Hey, tell 'em what

you did last night.

I got a ride

in Rex Chapman's El Camino.

And he's coming down

here today to buy a car.

And, Christian, if I see you

even walk towards him a step...

Uh-oh.

Wait a minute.

Who do you think

sold him the El Camino?

Ohh!

He's already his customer.

1972?

All right. All right.

Hey, Quinn.

Quinn. Quinn.

How 'bout some coffee?

Sam Worthington.

Hey, uh, green pea, green pea,

pass me the coffee.

Pass him the coffee.

I... it's right

in front of...

Pass me the coffee, green pea.

I'm getting tired over here.

Okay, I'm passing you...

Caleb:

Put that coffee down.

Uh...

Coffee's for closers only.

You think I'm f***ing with you?

No.

I'm not f***ing with you.

I'm here from downtown.

I'm here from Mitch and Murray,

and I'm here

on a mission of mercy.

Your name's Levine?

Yep.

Yep.

You call yourself a salesman,

you son of a b*tch?

All:
I don't gotta

listen to this sh*t!

You certainly don't, pal,

'cause the good news

is you're fired.

The bad news is you've got...

You've all got just one

week to regain your jobs,

starting with tonight,

starting with tonight's sit.

Si...

Oh, have I got

your attention now?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Whoo!

My man.

So is that from a movie

or something?

You've never seen "glengarry"?

Nah. They don't show that sh*t

on nickelodeon. That's why.

This an "icarly" guy?

Couldn't sell him a basketball.

Well, I'm gonna get an autographed

basketball when he leaves,

and I'll put it in my office

for all you motherfuckers.

Oh, you have an office now?

"Spongebob."

For all you motherfuckers.

I'm taking yours.

Boyd, where's Scott?

He's outside talking

to the hospital.

Great training video.

It was fun.

All right, everybody, listen up.

Good morning. Morning. Morning.

Boyd, is everyone here?

Everyone but Reynolds.

Dick.

Oh, man.

Hey, boss, forgive me,

but regarding our paychecks?

Yes, I know,

and believe me when I tell you

my old man and I are

just as upset as you are.

So let me explain.

Actually, no. First of all,

let me just say thank you

to each and every one of you

for all the extra work

you've put in this year.

I know it's been a tough one,

and I know that some of you

have been struggling,

and I just want you to know

that that hasn't gone unnoticed.

So as you all know,

we have been competing
