Everything Must Go

Rule number one, know your products.

Okay, whether it's a PC or a piece of paper;

know how it works.

Number two, know your customers.

Learn everything you can about them.

Listen to what they want

and what they don't want.

Rule number three, go the extra yard, okay?

If you don't have the answer; find it.

It's that simple.

Okay, let's go get those numbers up.

- Hi, Nick.

- Hey, Gary.

- Solid presentation there.

- Thank you.

Same one you gave last month, right?

How'd it go in Houston?

Great. It went great.

- How's the wife?

- She's fine, thank you.

- Kids?

- Kids?

I don't have kids.

Oh, right. Yeah. You don't have kids.

So listen, Nick.

The company has decided to make a change.

My numbers are as solid

as they've ever been.

- It's not about numbers anymore.

- I've done everything the company

has asked me to do.

I promised that my drinking would be

under control, and it is.

Not in Denver, apparently.

I made this office into a major player

My record reflects that.

You want to talk about your record, Nick?

1998, one month paid leave

for alcohol counseling.

2000, another 30 days.

2001, accused of assault.

It was a softball game.

The guy was blocking the plate.

2003, DUl.

2005, destruction of corporate can

I've given 16 years of my life

to this company.

And the company has rewarded you

very well for your loyalty.

Mr. Goodson and the rest of the higher-ups

wanted you to have this

as a token of their appreciation.

You can keep the corporate car

until the end of the month.

You can keep your health benefits, too,

which is good.

Your files are all corporate property,

of course,

but you can take three file boxes with you

containing your personal items.

That should just about cover it.

And one of those cherry Slurpees, too.

- This guy. I don't know.

- I got it. I got it.

Hey, bro, I'll give you 10 bucks

for that twack right there.

Aren't you a little young

to be drinking beers?

Aren't you a little old to be drinking

that Slurpee there, gray balls?

Is that what they teach you in school,

little sh*t?

What?

Hi. Are you in there?

If you are, can this happen another day?

Hi, it's Nick. Lm back.

I got your letter

I really want to talk to you, okay?

I'll just be getting some

of the stuff off the lawn

and getting it out of here

if that's all right with you.

When you're ready, we can talk.

And you probably already heard,

I lost my job today. So...

Okay, bye.

Oh, great.

Hey, Elliot. You're home early.

Well, benefit of being the boss, I guess.

You know, having all that stuff on your lawn

is gonna destroy your root system.

Yeah, I'm sorry about the mess.

- I'll have it cleaned up by tomorrow.

- Great.

Listen, Nick. You know me,

I try to keep out of people's way.

But if I'm honest,

I saw this coming a mile away.

Thanks for warning me.

No problem.

Come on.

I like your bumper stickers.

Right, I probably should have taken them off

before I hit Texas, right?

- Here, let me help you.

- Thank you.

I'm Nick. My wife Catherine

and I live across the street.

Samantha.

You can just put that in there

with the others.

Okay.

So are you getting rid of your old stuff?

Yeah. Just a little spring cleaning.

- You a photographer?

- Yeah. Photography teacher.

- Really? Where do you teach?

- New York.

My husband...

Well, we are relocating for work.

I lived in Newark for two years.

Westchester County.

Well, welcome to Arizona.

Thank you.

Hey, could I ask you a favor?

Would you mind watching my stuff?

- I just need to run to the store real quick.

- Sure, yeah.

You know, no, I can't.

I have to go meet my new doctor.

Sure. Sure, I understand.

I'm sorry. It was nice to meet you.

Yeah, likewise. I'll see you around.

Yeah.

Can I help you?

Do you live around here?

My mom takes care of the lady

down the street.

Why aren't you at work?

I got the day off.

Why'd you get the day off?

Personal stuff.

With your wife?

Why do you say that?

I saw her yesterday.

Some dudes came over, too.

What dudes?

Like a locksmith guy, an alarm guy,

and, like, some movers.

She say anything?

She was screaming a lot.

And crying.

What's your name?

Kenny Loftus.

Listen, Kenny, are you hungry?

If you stay here and watch my stuff,

I'll go buy us some food, huh?

How's that sound?

Here's 5 bucks. Okay?

You just can't leave.

And don't touch anything.

- Where are you going?

- I don't know, the liquor store.

- What about the mini-mart?

- Yeah, I can go to the mini-mart.

If I go to the mini-mart,

will you stay here and watch my stuff?

I'd like some beef jerky and a Diet Coke.

Okay.

Oh, sh*t.

- What are you looking for?

- My car keys.

- You want to borrow my bike?

- No, I'll find them.

Sorry, dude, it didn't go through.

Can you just swipe it again, please?

It didn't go through, Mr. Halsey.

- Really?

- Nope.

Something's probably wrong

with the machine.

- Can you just call it in?

- I can't call it in, man.

- How much is it?

- $37.50.

Hey, honey, it's Nick.

I just tried to buy some things

with the credit cards and they didn't work.

Look, I'm gonna need them

to pay someone to move stuff off the lawn.

So if you can just call me back

and we can possibly work this out,

I'd really appreciate it. Okay?

Thank you. Bye.

Mr. Halsey, I checked the ATM

it's working fine.

Okay. Well, that doesn't make any sense.

There's $45,000 in that account.

The money's still there.

But apparently someone

put a stop on that account.

But that's my account.

Technically, it's a joint account

and either you or your wife

can put a stop on it.

Who authorized that?

You did. Your signature is right here, sir.

Next to your wife's.

Your service

has been temporarily suspended.

For an emergency, dial 9-1-1.

Can I help you?

Yeah, this is my car.

This car belongs to Office Expo Inc.

Really?

Well, that's my stuff right back there.

If it's inside the car,

it belongs to the company now.

So you're gonna have to

take it up with them.

Hey. Hey, look.

I don't want any problems, okay?

I just want my stuff.

Excuse me. Hey. Hey, hey!

This is my car.

Those are my golf clubs.

Those are my golf clubs.

Why didn't you try to stop him?

He said it was his car.

Did you get my jerky?

Yeah.

Where'd you get that?

- That?

- Yeah.

- In the pile.

- I told you not to touch anything.

Why?

'Cause some of it, like this,

is worth a lot of money.

You know what this is?

A baseball?

A baseball signed by the entire

'78 world champion Yankees.

Reggie Jackson?

Thurman Munson?

Ron Guidry?

Never mind.

We have a good team at my school.

Yeah? Do you play?

I tried out last year, but I didn't make it.

Well, there's always next year.

Look, I've got work I've got to do here. So...

Isn't your mom worried about you?

She'll be gone till Miss Cooper dies.

She just leaves you alone?

My sister comes around at night.

Kenny, I'm gonna try the direct approach

with you, okay?

I need you to leave. Now.

I found your keys.
