Everything Must Go Page #5

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.

- The tables?

- Yeah.

Your neighbor Elliot.

You got price tags on everything.

How'd you do that?

Market research.

I'm making it easy for the customer.

- Nice work, Kenny.

- Thanks.

Really nice work.

- Hey, how's it going?

- Hey. Good. Good.

Just thought I'd stop by a little,

check up on you.

Thanks.

So you're letting some of this stuff go, huh?

Yeah. I'm gonna sell it,

you know, everything I can.

- I'm proud of you, bud.

- Thanks.

Yeah, Catherine, we can...

I can work this out.

This is a good first step. It is.

Why don't you stop by the station

when you're done?

Okay. Yeah, I'll be there.

- Thanks for stopping by.

- No problem.

Excuse me. How much for the chair?

- The chair?

- Yeah.

- $2 and I'll throw in the macram.

- All right.

Thank you.

That actually works.

Same taste in tapes, man.

That's right, throw it on the grill there.

You ever fish the lower Salt?

No.

At sunset with the water like glass,

it's religious.

Sounds nice.

I'm sorry, I've never fished the lower Salt.

I've never even gone fishing before.

I've never been fishing in all my life.

- That looks really good on him.

- Yeah, isn't it cute?

Really cute. Old school.

- I'm not sure.

- Your girlfriend is.

All I know is I bought this for $125.

I'm not gonna do $125.

- I'm not asking you to.

- Okay.

- I'm asking $25.

- I'll do $15.

- What about $22?

- $20.

- $217

- Okay.

- How much is this?

- $10.

Hey, that should be $15.

I got engaged in that suit.

I saw you checking out the blender.

I could do both for $25.

All right, deal.

Rule number one, always have power

so people can test appliances.

That's a good rule.

Hey, just wanted you to know

everything's going pretty good.

And I'm selling it, all my stuff.

All my crap. And it feels pretty good.

I'm getting rid of everything, Catherine.

Anyway, call me when you're ready.

On Kitty's phone, I guess.

I miss you. Bye.

Made in China, even though

it's supposed to be Japanese, so...

You know What? I'll give it to you for $25.

And I'll throw in this wolf and polar bear.

Okay, let's show 'em, ladies.

Hustlers. You're all hustlers.

You hustled me.

All right, another hand like that

and I'll be buying the table from you.

Who's deal? Sherry, your deal?

- All right.

- Right here. Here we go.

Yeah, you don't have to shuffle.

So, yeah, you can cook anything on it.

You can cook hot dogs.

You can cook bacon.

You can cook burritos.

- Who's in first?

- I'm in for $10.

- $10'?

- I'm in for $15.

- $15'?

- I'm in for $15 as well.

Okay, that's already too rich for my blood.

- I don't have that kind of money.

- You want to borrow a chip?

You know what?

I'm all in, plus the cat ashtray.

Okay?

- Yours sticks.

- Yeah.

- That's good luck.

- The high-level players can do this.

- How we looking?

- Take a look.

Okay, good.

I can't hardly even find this stuff anymore.

- How much for these?

- I'm sorry. They're not for sale.

Come on, man. What do you want for 'em?

- No, no, I really can't.

- Seriously?

I think you'll be happy with either.

- What do you think, green or blue?

- Go with blue.

All right, thank you very much.

How's that mouthwash treating you?

How much for the chair?

Can I ask why you want it?

I need a new chair.

What happened to the old one?

I got a new color IV over at a sale in Gilbert.

I need a new chair.

You know what? Why don't you take it?

I want you to have it.

Yeah.

Samantha?

Please, I know you're in there.

Nice house.

I just wanted to apologize for last night.

No, look, really, it's fine.

I shouldn't have pushed.

I don't know you.

I don't know your husband.

Yeah, well, I called him last night.

I told him I was going to leave him.

He said he was coming tomorrow.

So you're right.

Maybe you don't know people

so well after all.

Are you gonna go back to New York?

I don't know.

Well,

I don't think it's right

to make a decision like that

without having authentic Mexican food.

Have you had an authentic Mexican meal

in Arizona?

No.

Well, Kenny and I, we're gonna go celebrate.

He's buying.

So...

Sounds nice.

Great. Good.

'Cause we need a ride anyway.

Of course.

- Lively.

- He likes it.

Maybe. Or really doesn't like it.

- Are you ready for him?

- Yes.

No.

I can't figure out what color to paint

the baby's room.

I don't know why,

but somehow it seems really important.

It is important.

Every color has a specific effect on people.

What are you thinking?

Come on, it's what I do for a living.

You pick colors for a living?

No, I pick colors to make people buy things.

- I like yellow.

- That makes people anxious.

- Yeah.

- That's not good.

How about blue?

- Blue is soothing. Color of communication.

- That's good.

Yeah. Green is good, also.

Well, then I guess it's blue.

Or green.

Here's to blue or green.

To blue or green.

Nick.

Wow.

What brings you downtown?

Dinner with friends. You?

Drinks with the boys from the office.

How's everything at work?

Things are good. They're good.

Nothing new, really.

We filled your position.

Yeah, some kid

straight out of business school.

He's good. He's not as good as you,

but he's young and he's cheap.

Right.

Pretty good ballplayer, too,

from what I understand.

Think he even played in the Minors.

They got rid of that Sharon girl.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, it turns out she threatened to sue

two other guys at her last job at Kittredge.

Total bullshit.

Wow, kind of makes you think, doesn't it?

If you hadn't stabbed my Mustang,

probably could've gotten your job back.

Sued for wrongful termination, even.

Yeah. Well, I'll see you around, man.

It's the kind of thing you kind of feel like

you want to touch,

but you're not really sure.

Think you forgot that.

Hey, can you drop me off somewhere?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay, thanks.

Where are you going?

That's none of your business

where I'm going.

I'm a grown man.

I'll buzz you in.

- Glad you had the time.

- Yeah, I know.

- Just ate at that place over on 60th.

- Yeah?

And the sale?

- Great.

- Good. So listen,

- I've got to check up on a statement.

- Okay.

- You good? Want anything to drink?

- No, I'm good. Yeah.

- I'm glad you're here.

- Good to be here. Thanks.

Frank? Frank, it's Catherine.

Lm back at your place.

Call me back if you can hear me.

Frank? Frank, are you...

Can I stay at your house tonight?

Why don't I just get you a hotel room?

No, I think it would be better

if I stayed with you.

Well, you know you can't do that.

She didn't have anywhere to go.

She could have stayed with her sister.

She wanted a drink, so she came to me, bud.

She came to me. I'm sorry.

We always joked about this, you know?

- Yeah? What?

- Yeah, the 13th step.

- Come on, man.

- First you teach them the 12 steps.

Then you get them into bed for the 13th.

It wasn't like that, bud.

She came to me for help.

- Look, I'm sorry. I...

- Shut up, Frank!

Look, let's go get some coffee and talk.
