Everything Must Go Page #2

Synopsis: After Nick is fired from his sales job, mostly because of his penchant for alcohol, he comes home and finds that his wife has kicked him and all of his stuff out of the house and onto the front lawn. He is pretty intent on just sitting in his chair, drinking beer, on the lawn. His cop friend, Frank Garcia, thinks he should at least pretend to have a yard sale to make it legal. He slowly starts making friends with a neighborhood kid who needs something to do, and a pregnant wife who has just moved in across the street, and Nick finds himself moving on and selling all his stuff.

571 Xray. Yeah, we're out here.

Code 4 for now.

- Afternoon.

- Hi.

Can I see some identification, please?

I left it in my car.

And where's your car?

It's gone.

Even though, technically, it wasn't mine.

You want to tell me

what you're doing out here?

Yeah, I would.

I'm just organizing some of my things.

Why? Is there a problem?

Yeah, we've gotten some complaints

about someone living on their lawn.

Really? Who complained?

I can't tell you that, sir.

Well, this is my lawn. And this is my house.

And I'm pretty sure

I can do whatever I want on my property.

How much have you had to drink?

In my opinion, not enough.

You know there's a law against having

open containers in public, right?

There's a law that says I can't drink

a f***ing beer on my front lawn?

Sir, you're gonna have to come with me.

I can't leave my stuff.

Your things will be fine. Let's go.

Turn around.

571 Xray. Yeah, why don't you...

Hey, stop talking into that thing.

- Stand by.

- Just listen to me.

Call Detective Frank Garcia, okay?

You want me to call Detective Garcia?

Yeah, call him. Call him. He'll fix all of this.

He wasn't violent, right?

No, man, he's just been drinking.

He asked me to call you.

Thanks, man. I got it from here.

I came as soon as I could.

I had a double homicide.

Thanks, Frank.

Did you talk to her?

No, I think it's worth

giving her a little time on this one.

She changed all the locks, you know?

Garage code.

How do you change the garage code?

You haven't tried to break in yet.

I'm impressed.

Last time I broke in, you arrested me.

That's right.

You know that the moment

that you even thought

about having a drink

you should have just called me.

Well, let's see.

Yesterday, what happened?

I got fired from my job and my wife left me.

So somehow calling you slipped my mind.

I got it. I got it.

You know, they say that the dining room

is the least utilized room in the house.

I think it's the front lawn.

It's starting to look good, don't you think?

I don't care how it looks.

You can't stay here. It's illegal.

I paid for this house, for her fish,

for this lawn.

This is my house.

- What's your point?

- My point?

This is my corner. Okay?

I'm not leaving my stuff.

All right. I'll call dispatch

and make sure nobody comes by tonight.

But slow down on the beer, yeah?

Get some rest.

We'll figure this out tomorrow.

She's coming up on a year.

I know, Nick. We still go to meetings.

- Hey, Frank.

- Yeah?

You're a good sponsor, you know?

Actually, Nick, I'm not.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

It's a great rug.

Yeah, it was my mom's.

I got you some coffee and cigarettes.

I quit smoking.

Thanks.

You need any help moving today?

No, I'm good.

Really? Not planning to leave

anytime soon?

Well, since I don't have any money

or car or phone,

I was just thinking about just staying here.

Do you honestly think

that this is how you're gonna get her back?

I'm just living day to day.

Right. Right.

How many days you think

it's gonna take to get your sh*t together?

You're gonna make me leave?

I'm not gonna tell you what to do

because we both know that doesn't work.

But if it takes you sitting here

and making an idiot out of yourself

to get cleaned up, then so be it.

The city of Arcadia

allows a property owner to hold a yard sale

for no more than five consecutive days.

This buys you three days.

I don't want to sell my stuff.

Sell your crap, don't sell your crap.

I don't care.

But after this, you move on.

I got you some pens

and some paper to make signs.

I got to make signs?

- That was a joke.

- Don't make an ass out of me, Nick.

No, it was a funny joke.

You have three days

to get your sh*t together.

If not, I'm gonna have to

haul your ass off to jail.

Right. Mount Rushmore.

Grand Canyon.

That's nice.

- Hey, Kenny.

- Hey.

- I'm sorry about yesterday.

- It's cool, man.

How's your penmanship?

Pretty good.

I was thinking,

seeing as you're not doing anything

but riding your bike all day,

you might want to come work for me.

What Kind of work?

Make some signs.

Maybe sell a couple of things.

What are you offering?

Discussing salary and responsibility

upfront, smart, very smart.

I'm thinking 4 bucks an hour, okay?

If I have to leave, you stay here,

watch my stuff, act tough.

I'll feed you, give you bathroom and

cigarette breaks as required by state law.

I don't smoke.

Good. Great. So do we got a deal?

Arizona minimum wage is $7.25.

Okay, $7.25 it is.

What? It's a good deal.

I want to learn to play baseball.

You want me to teach you

how to play baseball?

Yeah, I don't know.

I see all your trophies and stuff on the lawn.

Yeah, I know. That's from high school.

Why do you want to learn to play baseball?

My mom says I need the exercise.

Okay, I could see that.

And my dad played.

Okay.

Now we got a deal?

- Deal.

- Okay.

Start making some signs.

This is the sign area right here.

No, I haven't met the neighbors yet.

Yes, there's grass.

What about these clothes?

Keep.

Put them in that top, left-hand drawer.

What about these?

Yeah, those.

Think I want to hold onto those.

They're actually pretty valuable.

You'd be surprised.

You can put 'em in that same drawer.

I'll know that they're there in case I want to

look at 'em.

So when are you coming?

Well...

Okay. Okay, Well, when will you know?

- Can I help you?

- How much?

I'm sorry, the shoes are not for sale.

They shouldn't be over there, actually.

How much for the chair?

You know, it's not for sale, either.

How much for this?

- You want to buy that?

- How much is it?

50 CENTS.

I'll give you 25 cents.

Yeah, I just can't do that.

Hold on, hold on.

Let's keep it at 50 and let's see.

I'll throw in some floss.

Great. Have a good one.

Rule number eight,

always give 'em a little something extra.

There's your take.

- Can we work on baseball now?

- I'm beat.

Why don't you go hang some more signs

or something and we'll call it a day?

I don't know why I'm hanging signs

if you're not gonna sell anything.

I sold some mouthwash.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

- Where do you want this?

- I guess, just...

You can just leave it over there somewhere.

So is this your first time for a yard sale?

Yeah. Yeah, it is, actually.

Watch out for the pros on Saturday.

Theyll try to beat you up on price.

Do you go to a lot of them?

Yeah, they're good for finding old cameras.

Once you get rid of all that stuff,

you're gonna feel great.

- Yeah, I think so.

- Yeah.

Hey. I was gonna order Chinese food.

It's not New York, but...

You know, I have a lot of stuff to do

before my husband gets here.

Right. No, I understand.

- But thank you for the offer.

- Sure.

Could I use your phone?

To order?

Hey.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I saw you got your food

and I thought you could use

something to eat with.

- Here.

- Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

Can I... Do you want...

Can I make you a plate?
