Father of Invention Page #7
Why are you doing this?
I was the one
that believed in you,
not Mom.
It was me.
Um, I'm not really a hugger.
Okay.
Jesus, Troy.
I blew my knee out
on their nickel.
Not a card,
not a "Hey, Troy, how's your leg?"
I've been assistant GM for three years
and you know what?
There's no GM.
I'm the guy.
They just don't want to give me
the title and have to shell out
an extra $1631 a year.
Where are you going
with this, Troy?
- Shame on you.
- Shame on me?
Not you... Family Mart.
I'm confused.
Are you gonna help me out or not?
Oh, I'm gonna help you,
but it's not for the money,
it's not for the ladies
and it's not for the bling.
This is for principle.
How many painkillers
have you had?
One.
Well, I may have had
I just get really nervous in meetings,
especially big ones.
Okay, I'm gonna put my bike in the back
and I'll drive, okay?
- Can I help you?
- Troy.
Hmm?
- Hi. We're here to meet Mike James.
- Matt James.
Matt James.
Aren't you Robert Axle?
This is my partner
Troy Coangelo.
I think you spoke to him on the phone
and set up the appointment.
I sure did.
I made an appointment with Troy.
I did not make an appointment
with Robert Axle.
We're partners.
What difference does that make?
The difference is that I had
no idea that you were coming.
I'm sorry,
is there some problem?
Robert Axle. Wow.
Come on in.
- It's good to meet you guys.
- Great to meet you, Matt.
Troy Coangelo. Where did you get that
receptionist? She's really on the ball.
Oh yeah, Sheila?
She's amazing.
Yeah, you don't want your receptionist
being too hot...
makes things complicated.
She's my wife.
Hey, Sheila, would you be a doll
and get me a diet soda?
Yeah, I'll get right on that.
Ta-dah!
Presenting the Watchdawg.
Wow, that is awesome.
music videos,
also takes photographs,
but here's the most unique
thing about it...
It's also a wireless child leash.
- Does the prototype work?
- Does a bear sh*t in the woods, Sheila?
Send it a test to
watchtest@watchdog.org.
Let him hear the music.
forgotten to load the music, Troy.
Email just bounced back.
We're not gonna lie to you,
the prototype is a little shaky.
Look, I'm not gonna say
that this is in perfect shape,
but this can be improved upon.
It is a great idea and I...
I don't know how to tell you this,
but honesty is the best policy here.
I met with Steven Leslie
two days ago.
He pitched something
practically identical to that.
He's coming out with it.
fast-tracking it,
wants it in play for the holiday season,
wants us to co-finance.
I met him a few days
before you did.
I pitched him this
and he turned it down.
I'm sorry to hear that.
You know why Family Mart
is the fourth-largest
discount consumer products
retailer in the nation?
No, I do not.
Because it's not Target
and it's not Kmart
and it sure as hell
not Walmart.
It's Family Mart...
the copycat,
the poser, the wannabe.
So if you want to invest
in the Family Mart version
of Watchdawg,
be my freakin' guest.
Oh, in case anybody
was wondering
who might have gotten
a six-figure advance
for the invention of a brand-new
groundbreaking fabrication,
that would be me... Robert Axle.
Yes, the same Robert Axle
who went to prison for eight years,
but now...
did I mention
the six-figure advance?
Anyway, I'm back.
Things are looking better than ever.
Of course I'm gonna have to share
some of that money
with my new partner
Troy Coangelo.
Somebody stole
Donna's identity.
Yeah, and then they racked up
a credit card bill for $5000.
Yeah, and then had the card sent to
a mailbox place right around the corner.
Look, girls,
this is not a problem,
all right?
I've got a check in my pocket
for $125,000.
Let's not let a $5000 check
get us upset, all right?
I'm gonna pay off that credit card
before the first bill comes in.
You are a liar and you are a fake
and you are a phony.
I was rooting for you
this whole time
and you steal from me?
No, I didn't steal from you.
I borrowed from you.
Claire, don't let them do this,
all right? Listen to me. Trust me.
I did trust you.
Look, baby, you want to fund
your center?
Give me six months. We'll have
enough money to fund 10 centers.
There's no we.
There's no we.
It's only you.
It's always been only you.
I give you five minutes
to get the hell out of here
or I'm calling the police.
# Speak to me #
# Show me all the things #
# I'm missing #
# And let me kindly #
# Step aside #
# Let these heavenly objects collide #
# Speak to me #
# And oh, how easily #
# You were distracted #
# And oh, how often #
# You overreacted #
# And oh, how easily #
# Deceived... #
There's just that sense
of security that you have
when you're wearing Watch Pal.
I mean, what do kids love?
A pal, a friend.
I mean, this is the product
that a kid can say,
"Hey, this is my pal.
I have my pal with me."
Please tell me this is
gonna be okay, Axle.
- We're gonna be fine.
- We're gonna be fine?
I don't know if you noticed,
but it's the same price.
He has got more games, and to be honest,
it looks a hell of a lot cooler.
- None of that matters.
- Kids love robots.
- They don't have compasses.
- Kids don't use compasses.
Maybe they need to.
- Maybe you should shut your mouth.
- Hey, guys, enough.
Now look, I'll admit
he's got a great product.
It's futuristic.
It's got a personality.
That's not making me
feel any better.
But what he doesn't have is me,
the first invention from Robert Axle
since the one that maimed 3000 people.
Nobody has more to prove.
Nobody's got more eyes on them.
An invention? I thought
we were calling them fabrications.
We're gonna get rid of that word,
'cause that word
Let's call it an invention.
Call it whatever people need to call it
to know that this is the answer,
that this is what one of the most
prolific inventors in modern history
has been thinking about
for the past decade...
an idea with so much promise,
that's gonna so profoundly
impact child safety
that everyone's gonna forget
about all their missing fingers.
- Write that down.
- Write what down?
What he just said. It's important.
Before we forget, write it down.
- Isn't that Sheila's job?
- Write it down.
No, whoa whoa,
don't write on that.
- Okay. What is it?
- It's just my good luck charm.
All right, look... ooh.
Ow, that hurt.
Knee to the head... not good.
Look, in life you have to help
your partner.
Percy, way to get up high.
Look at Conner Ann, man.
Wow, you guys are doing good.
Good rope climbing, impressive.
All right, you're disgusting.
You smell.
Get the hell out of here.
Good work. Good job.
What do you want?
Could you give this
to Claire for me?
What is that?
It's an invitation
