I...

I go to sleep,

you're not home.

I get up, you're already gone.

And if we do manage

to share a word,

it almost always ends

in a car deal.

Okay.

I...

I hear you,

all right? I do.

I'm listening, okay?

But I really

need you to hear me.

I need one more day...

Okay, mark, this isn't

about one more day.

This is about

what's best for you

taking priority over anyone

or anything else.

I mean, this is about you choosing

the store above our marriage,

and that all doesn't

change with one more day.

Ashley, I have been

working my ass off...

You really think your dad's just gonna

suddenly up and change his ways?

No! But it

doesn't matter.

Okay? It doesn't,

because as soon

as I have my new store,

you have no idea. Everything

is gonna change for us, okay...

Mark, that's the problem.

The new store

shouldn't be the catalyst

for things being different.

So what are you saying, ash?

'Cause you lead

a pretty good life.

I...

And you know what, mark?

Just once,

I wish you would talk to me

like I'm your wife

and not some customer, okay?

No clichs, no number one rules,

no whatever it takes, just once.

Yeah.

You're right.

Look...

Hey, mark,

just wanted to let you know

your dad's looking for you.

I...

Malcolm, on P.A.:

Mark to my office.

Mark to my office.

When I page you,

it's for a reason.

I was handling heat.

I don't give a sh*t.

What about the 150 grand?

Have you talked to Russell?

Yes. I spoke to him,

and we're good.

He said he's personally

deposit it on Monday.

And you were gonna tell me when?

For the holidays?

Maybe for my birthday?

As a gift?

Put a bow on it?

I'm telling you now!

For sure?

Yes! He's one

of my best friends!

He's a used-car

wholesaler.

I give you my word.

Your word?

Good.

And what about the car

that Scott gave away this morning?

The Barretts?

She's coming in an hour.

I'll handle it.

Uh, you better.

'Cause contrary

to what you think,

this is not

a charitable organization.

Now what about you?

19 cars.

19 cars.

Better get back to work.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sheri, I assure you,

no one's trying

to bait and switch you, okay?

But like I said,

I'd be more than happy

to give you 100 over cost on any

other vehicle I have on stock.

No, I think I'm done

with the runaround.

But I'll be sure to let the

better business bureau

know about your practices.

Then maybe next time you'll think

twice about telling a customer

you have a car in

inventory when you don't.

Again, Sheri,

that wasn't the case at all.

Oh, well, I think it was.

And you'll be hearing

from my senator as well.

Your senator?

Heh. Wow.

You know, usually

customers threaten

to sic the attorney general

on me, but a senator,

well played, Sheri,

really well played.

And what, I suppose you've

got him on direct dial?

You know, I put

millions of dollars...

Where are we at?

Look right here.

And I can't get him

to return my calls,

so good luck

with that, sweetheart.

Hey, Reynolds, how's

the selling coming?

I hope that little b*tch

does call her senator.

Fix it. Go.

Yo, boss, I got one.

There's a couple out there

that just sold their old car,

and they're looking

for a new one.

Okay, relax. Did they

pick out a car yet?

No, not yet. I think

they're looking...

Christian, please,

can you take the puppy outside?

Come on.

Let's get you outside

before you piss yourself.

F***, yeah.

All right, everybody, listen up!

It's 2:
15, and we are

sitting on 20 cars,

which means we have less than

three hours and 15 cars to go!

That means there are 15 people

in the great state of Arizona

that are looking for you to

connect them with a new vehicle.

What do you say

we make that happen?

Time to rock-'n'-roll!

Let's go! Let's go!

Hi.

What do you think, man?

He said he wants to pay invoice.

Tell him when he

rounds up $10 million,

he can buy his own store and pay

invoice for any car he likes,

but until then,

that's the price.

I'm making no money

off of this deal,

just so you know.

And I still have to pay

these two guys commission.

You see 'em? All right?

So do we got a deal?

Safety and fuel economy, okay?

25 mpg city...

I think we have a match.

I love your hair with

the color of this car.

How 'bout now?

Watch and learn.

Just sold one to Katy Perry.

Woman:
Oh!

Same color.

Oh, my god.

It has Bluetooth...

Fisher, hi.

Heard the divorce is final.

I have a lot of convertibles I

think you'd be interested in.

What's that gonna cost us?

No, it comes

with the car, sweetie.

Yeah, sweetie,

it comes with the car.

I was only

able to... Bam!

Hey, let's go ring the big bell.

Singer:
All good.

You know I got this...

Come on.

Yeah.

Board it.

Singer:
What? Extra?

It'll be all good. Don't...

I love this car for you.

So what do we think?

I love it.

I'll tell you

after I see the numbers.

Nice rally.

I can't wait for that

pep talk come Monday.

Save it.

We got a live one, Jefe.

I got 'em downing I-tryptophan

dogs as we speak,

so I figure in about 15 minutes,

I'll have 'em right

where I want 'em, comatose.

That's good, because right now,

we are sitting at 299,

so that means you

don't let 'em leave.

We understand?

Right.

All right.

Go get 'em.

Green pea.

Hey, what office are you in?

Christian:
64-04.

Max, pull it up.

Christian:
You know your

finances better than I do, tom,

and quite frankly,

I don't see how

we can get there.

I mean, look,

I have no problem

giving you a great deal,

but honestly

I think we'd be lucky

if we got anywhere near the

600 to 625 a month range.

Yeah, here's what

you should know.

This is the last Altima XL

that we have in stock, tom,

and it could be...

Actually, I believe,

the last one that we have

in the entire state.

Actually, Christian,

there's one out back.

It's in the...

It's in the back, right?

The one with the defective motor

that's being returned

to the manufacturer.

Heh.

I should also let you know,

tom, that a few

of the other salesmen

have confirmed appointments

today on this very vehicle,

and, Jan, I mean, I would

hate to see you lose it.

I mean, I know

how much you love it.

Now, listen, if I could...

And I'm not saying that

I can, but if I could, Jan,

split it with you and, let's

say, get the payments to...

575 a month plus tax,

look at that.

Would you be willing

to buy and drive today?

I'm sorry, Christian.

$500 a month,

or we're gonna have to pass.

Well, as certain as I am

that 500 a month

does not buy this car,

I don't make the decisions.

I just present the offers.

So sit tight, tom,

and, uh, let me see

what I can do.

Jan:
Honey, I thought

you said we'd go

as high as 550 a month.

Tom:
If we have to.

But there's no way in hell

I'm telling him that.

If you ever open your mouth

when I'm closing

a deal, I will break

your f***ing neck.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.

Motherfuck.

Tom:
Just let me

handle this, okay?
