to show the manufacturer

we have $300,000 in escrow,

but we only have 150

from payroll.

Reynolds was supposed

to secure the other 150

through his relationship

with Ahmad.

Ahmad? The guy who hates Reynolds?

You know that, right?

It was something that got by me.

I didn't see it coming.

So I need someone to step up.

Yeah. Okay.

What do you need me to do?

I need to know if you know

anyone we can wholesale cars to,

150 grand worth,

with the understanding

that they pay for them today

and that they

can't take delivery

until after the manufacturer's

audit on Tuesday.

Of course.

Do you know anyone?

Yeah.

Yeah, my buddy Russell.

He'll... he'll be able

to help us out.

Russell?

Yeah, Russell.

You're sure?

I'm sure.

All right.

When he gets back to you,

get back to me.

It's tough to run a store, mark.

And I hope you

understand the decision

to fire Scott was

purely a business one.

You showed some steel today.

Maybe you do have what it takes.

Whoo!

Good job.

You did a good job.

Good, George.

Hey.

All right, let's go.

Everyone out.

Come on. Let's go.

Get out!

Sell my car and get my...

Hey, man, get the f*** out, man!

Did you hear what I just said?

Are you on that?

I see it. Damn.

Tell me you didn't.

He's having a baby, mark.

Yeah, I know that.

Thank you.

And you just

gonna cut him loose?

And what would you

suggest I do, Boyd?

I suggest you telling your

father to go f*** himself.

How 'bout that?

Sh*t, he might respect you then.

Well, in theory,

that sounds wonderful, Boyd,

but I'm not here to win the

battle just to lose the war.

Spare me with the sun Tzu sh*t.

And what's that

supposed to mean?

It means that

you blew out a guy,

all right, who's

worked at this store

for the past 20 f***ing years.

Are you out of your mind, mark?

Don't you realize...

That every guy that works

here, including myself,

would have quit

a long time ago, man,

if they didn't

respect you, okay?

Mark, listen to me!

Mark.

They believe you,

not like your father,

who they know don't

give a sh*t about them,

'cause they know deep down

inside that you care,

and you go and you

pull this sh*t.

Bullshit, Boyd!

Most of these guys

are here because we have

the best payment plan

in the city. That's it.

You see any of them have my

back in this morning's meeting

until I told them how much

money they stood to make?

Speaking of, are they actually

gonna get paid on Monday,

or was that just some more

bullshit that you're saying, mark?

Look, I don't like how my father runs

this place any more than you do,

but I have a responsibility...

No, listen to me!

Are they,

or aren't they

gonna get paid, mark?

Don't bullshit me.

Don't f***ing bullshit me.

Unbelievable, mark.

Boyd, listen to me, okay?

If we don't get

to 300 cars by 5:00 P.M. today,

none of it is gonna matter,

anyway, all right?

Because nothing is gonna change.

Okay.

You're right.

"Okay"?

"Okay"?

What, are you and I not

on the same page anymore?

You know what?

Go f*** yourself, mark.

Where do you think you're going?

Look here, mark.

Look, you can lie

to the customer,

and you can lie to me,

but you can't lie

to yourself, man.

Mm.

And I know you're

up in your head

about your new car dealership

and changing things,

but the fact is...

You're scared of your old man,

and that's the reason

why Scott got fired.

What? Little problem

just showed up.

Yo, boss.

I need to speak to the

boss right f***ing now!

You're not the owner,

are you? No.

Shut it.

Mark:
Excuse me.

Excuse me. You wanna

watch your mouth?

Who the f*** are you?

I'm the owner.

Oh, that's good.

I want to talk to you.

You know what? I bought a car

here last night from her.

Yes, you did.

I don't want it.

Well, that makes two of us.

I know my f***ing rights,

so let's not play any games.

No, let's not,

but first things first.

You swear at me again, and I will throw

your f***ing ass right out of my store.

Now, I was about to go outside

and get a free hot dog

and a coke.

What do you say you join me?

If the price were right

on this one,

would you be willing

to go colorblind?

Like I told you on the phone

this morning,

Mr. Chamberlain,

I'm looking for dark

graphite, not arctic silver.

And I can appreciate

that, Sheri, but...

I came to get the car that I drove

for more than an hour to buy,

a car, quite frankly, I'm beginning

to doubt that you ever had.

Sheri, I assure you,

it was here.

I mean, I personally put my hands

on it just moments after we spoke.

Then where is it?

Heh. That's a good question.

Three-day consumer

right of refusal in Arizona

applies only to sales

in which the seller

solicits you

at your place of residence,

and I didn't come

to your home, chief.

You came to mine.

Well, that's not exactly

what my attorney told me.

Well, then you should fire

him, 'cause he's wrong.

You know, it really

doesn't matter, anyway,

because you have

your own return policy.

Wrong again.

I have an exchange policy.

Does this look

like Walmart to you?

And the answer may be,

you know, that it sold

in the time it took you

to get here.

That's not uncommon

in this business.

And if that is the case,

I deeply apologize,

and I will take

very good care of you...

On one of these arctic silvers.

Like I told you...

But before we rush to judgment,

let me check with

one of my managers.

I mean, for all I know, it was sent

out for a window tint or something.

Yeah, right.

Okay.

Let's head in.

You want a hot dog?

Vegetarian.

Vegan hot dog?

Hey, man, don't patronize me.

Then don't play stupid

with me, Mr. Mcmillen.

Come on, man.

You signed a contract.

You can't just unwind because your

wife didn't give you permission.

Look, okay, I get it.

You came in yesterday

without your wife,

wanted to just look around,

and then you happened to find

something that you liked.

It's okay.

Hey, it happens, all right?

You're not the first, and you're

certainly not gonna be the last.

You know, this is why

people hate buying cars.

Right, because it's our fault

that you made a major purchase

without talking

to your wife first.

I can see how we'd

be to blame for that.

Here. I'll tell you what.

If it'll help

smooth things over,

why don't you

have your wife call me?

I'm serious.

Anytime, okay? Maybe...

No, I don't think so. Think I'm

gonna call the Attorney General.

I think this is a matter that

he would like to discuss.

You know what?

That is a great idea.

You should call him, and when

you get Gary on the line,

I want you to ask him how

Debra, his wife, is doing

and how she's enjoying that

new suburban she's driving,

you know, the one

she's borrowing from us.

Mr. Mcmillen,

you got a great car.

Enjoy it.

Want a hot dog?

Nice work.

I have my moments.

Don't forget to hide

that idiot's trade-in.

I don't want him

getting any bright ideas.

I won't, just as long as you

don't forget about your wife.
