- Yeah!

- Oh!' Cause you got all the

big guys around... I see, yeah.

Right.

Phil Beasly, Sr.

- Uh, Gus.

- Uh, Joe.

Yeah, the Little Guy' s sad.

But you know what's sadder?

Follow me, guys.

[Chattering]

- The Little Guy.

- Yeah, but maybe he'll show us

somethin' real nice.

- Watch your step here, guys.

- Yeah.

# Down in the Everglades #

[Alarm Beeping]

- Hey, how much further?

- Oh, just right up here.

- I wanna show you guys

somethin' different.

- All right.

- Something special.

- Yeah.

- Most of my customers

just shop the showroom.

- Yeah.

But I can see you guys

are professional fishermen.

I'm sure you can judge

this boat in the water.

- we're semipro, not professional.

- you've probably won some awards.

- Yeah, we won a few.

- Yeah. Oh, We've won a lot of' em.

Yeah, well, that's good.

Right here, guys.

- Hey, Gus, it's the Ranger 250C.

- Wow!

Yeah, the 250C. Let me tell you what's

sad about this boat.

A lot of people look at this

and believe it's only a dream.

You fellas know

anyone like that?

- Yeah, us.

- But there's nothin'

wrong with lookin'.

Good point.

I cite this nudie photo

as a prime example.

- You men married?

- [Both] Yeah.

Then you'll understand me when

I say you're allowed to look.

- Yeah.

- That is the American way.

you're allowed all the eyeballing

your eyeballs can eyeball.

you'rejust not allowed to touch.

you're not allowed to play.

Well, I got good news

for you guys.

Go right ahead.

Touch. Play.

- Ex cuse me.

- Thanks a lot, Phil.

- Yeah.

- We might as well, Gus.

It can't hurt none, right?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, man!

- Wow, look at this. This is something.

- Man!

How about this guy? Tryin' to give us

the old salesman pitch.

With his nudie girl photo.

He never saw a girl

like that in his life.

- Yeah, yeah. He tried

to pull one on us.

- Yeah.

- Guys?

- [Both] Yeah?

Someone I want you to meet.

This is my assistant.

Julie, this is Gus and Joe.

- Hello, guys.

- [Both] Hi.

I'll sign those papers now.

Nice boat.

You guys look great in it.

- Thanks.

- I'm tellin' you, that baby' s cryin;

- Screamin'.

- Yeah.

- No, the boat.

- Yeah, that's what I was talkin' about.

Let me tell you something, guys.

[Clears Throat]

If I'm not honest with you,

I'm not lyin' to anyone.

I started this business

because I'm a fisherman

and a boatman,

not because my time equals sales

plus commission minus overhead.

To me, it's

the people that matter.

- Yeah, people.

- Yeah. People, yeah.

I wouldn't want you

to fall in love with...

just for example...

A boat like mine.

that's the Waveliner II.

She' d be overkill

for you fellas.

- Yeah, overkill. Too much.

- Yeah, overkill.

The truth is, this boat you're

standin' in, the Ranger 250C...

Gentlemen, this boat...

Well... can you

just see the neighbors?

- Yeah, the neighbors.

- The neighbors.

- Wazinski. [Laughing]

- Yeah.

Can you just see them?

I'm tellin' you, that's

the best part of my job.

Not keepin' boats afloat,

but keepin' a man' s self-image

above the water.

- Yeah, self-image.

- Self-image, yeah.

Y-You see, Phil, we were thinkin' about

buyin' the, uh, Little Guy?

- Yeah. it's too, um...

- But it's too, uh...

- Cheap?

- [Both] Yeah, cheap.

- Where do you fellas fish?

- Glory Glades.

Fellas, are you familiar

with the phrase...

"No one fishes Glory Glades"?

- No.

- I never heard that.

Guys, if you learn

anything from me today,

remember the two words...

Tigertail Lagoon.

- Hey, that's where Bubba and J. P...

- J. P., yeah.

- We got a couple of friends

of ours fish over there.

- Yeah, yeah.

it's where I fish.

Here, have a pen.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Yeah.

- Phil, would you sign this for me?

- Oh, yeah. Gladly.

Are you guys okay?

- Fine, thanks.

- Yeah, fine.

- Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you, Julie.

Thank you, Julie. Uh, Phil, you know,

there's no way we can afford...

Gus, prices are relative to your outlook

and how you approach a matter.

- For example, I say ten dollars.

- Yeah.

You say two. that's eight dollars

worth of play, my friends.

- Yeah, it's eight dollars.

- Yeah.

Can we not disagree

on somethin'?

- We can't... We can't disagree.

- No.

I think we reached that

place already, minutes ago.

Now here's my point.

- And you can take this to the bank.

- Yeah.

Think for a moment

of the words "easy payments."

- Easy payments.

- Easy payments.

I'm talkin' 810 easy payments...

they're easy now... of $39.95.

- $39.95. that's not bad.

- No.

Each. that's $39.95.

This boat, your boat.

Think about it.

All we need is a signature,

and you've already got a pen.

- Yeah.

- Ex cuse me.

What do you think?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- Yeah. It depends

on what you're thinkin'.

- Yeah, well...

P.S. there's a 30-day

money-back guarantee.

So it's a test-drive.

You don't like it...

which you will...

you call, we come,

we pick it up.

End of story,

see you next time, no questions asked.

- that's like free rent, Gus.

- Yeah.

You guys, if you need anything...

I mean anything...

just say out loud

the word "Phil"!

- [Chuckles]

- Ex cuse me.

- Hey, Phil!

- Hey, Phil!

Hey, Gus, did you ever think

we' d own a boat like this?

Oh, man, no.

Look at the navigation, Joe.

- Yeah. what's this?

- that's the three-dimensional sonar.

- Hey, Gus, I know we gotta

bring back the knife.

- Yeah.

But do you think we could

get a little O. F. H. In first?

Yeah, we do a little O. F. H.,

and then we take the knife back.

- [Sonar Beeping]

- Hey, Gus, look at this!

- A hundred yards north of here.

Look at all that fish activity!

- Wow!

Hey, Joe,

they all around us, man! [Laughs]

- Hey, we're surrounded by fish.

- Hey, we made it, Joe!

Hey, you know what, Gus?

This is the first time on

this trip that life is good.

- Hey, a ten.

- A ten plus.

[Together]

Borderline 11!

[Both Laughing]

I can't wait to try out

the new "flick dip," you know?

- Flick, dip.

- [Gus Grunting]

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

- What happened, Gus?

- You knocked me over with the flick.

- Gus!

- Oh, no!

- [Sonar Beeping]

- Joe, look at the fish

activity here! Whoo!

- [Screaming]

- Hey, what-what-what?

- Look! Gus!

- [Screaming Continues]

- Let go of the pole!

- Hey, it broke!

Get off! Get off!

[Gus]

what's it say, Joe? what's it say?

- I can't find it. Ignition. Ignition.

- Huh?

[Man In Small Boat]

Shut it down!

- [Screaming]

- [Both] Sorry.

Slow down!

Shut it off!

- Let me have it.

- it's broke! it's broke!

Try shuttin' the key off, Gus.

- Shut the what off again?

- Shut the key off!

- You broke it.

- Yeah, it broke. [Screams]

Sorry!

Oh, I feel bad, Gus.

Move out of the way!

Move out of the way!

- Sorry.

- Hey, Joe, where are we goin'?

- Hey, J... J. P!

- Hey, it's J. P! Bubba!

- Oh, Joe!

- Oh, Gus!

- Joe, get in! Get in!

- Gus! Gus!

Joe, the knife! Get the knife!

Get it, Joe. Get it!

- Gus! Oh!

- Get it!

- I can't get it.
