He's amazing, okay?

He's fantastic and I am in love.

- Am I missing something?

- Yes, a good time.

You Debbie Downers are blowing my buzz.

You're really enjoying that, aren't you?

Yeah.

You know, you have eyed that video game

five times in the last four minutes.

Do you want to play?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

My mom doesn't have enough money

to play fun things.

No, fun things should be free. Come on!

I got a little money, come on.

Do you know how to play this?

Let's see what we got here.

This one? Here we are.

Hey, hey.

She's a pretty special kid.

- Hey, I don't know why she's so hungry.

- Kids are always hungry.

Harley.

- Softail Deluxe.

- Deluxe!

What do you know about it?

Her daddy used to work at a place

called Baker Boy's Bikes.

- On Elm?

- Yes!

- You know it?

- I do, I do.

Well, small world.

I remember when I was a kid, boy, I

would spend hours there all the time.

You ride?

I did once. When I was about 17.

We'd hang out there all day. We all wanted...

It's so crazy.

We all wanted to get Harleys, right?

We just had this dream of riding our bikes

all over the world,

digging wells in remote villages.

So I started trying to learn how to ride

and my mom found out I was hanging out

down there and she hit the roof.

Crazy, right?

I don't think that is crazy at all.

It means you have a good heart.

That's what that means.

So you ride?

You're looking at a pro.

Oh, come on. That I would like to see.

Well, not on this salary, you won't.

So am I fired?

No.

But I gotta tell you, nobody's ever

talked to me like that before.

You park in my spot, you call me an ass.

Shoot, I mean, it's just been

a pretty interesting day, my friend.

- That is sad, if that is true.

- What's sad?

Wait a second.

Excuse me. How much does this cost?

Mr. Deeds says it's free for employees.

- Everybody?

- Yes.

It means nobody's ever

told you the truth...

- No, I beg to differ.

- ...that's what that means.

People tell me the truth,

they're just not...

They're just not rude when they say it.

I wouldn't call it rude.

I was just being direct.

Direct?

- Okay, fine. If you say so.

- I do.

Direct.

Does that turn you on?

- Now you got jokes.

- Look at your face.

Funny, too.

How long have you worked at the company?

A year.

So what is it, this Deeds Incorporated?

What do you do?

My father was a computer whiz.

And he came up with this great software,

sold it to the government.

It was top secret.

About 20 years ago

he got it declassified and went public.

Company went through the roof.

A little help from affirmative action,

because it was very necessary.

From there,

he started buying smaller companies,

taking their ideas, branding them with his.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did I lose you? Did I lose you?

Just talk to me like a real person.

What is it that you sell? Come on.

Okay, how about this?

We sell computer software.

All right.

My dad's dream.

And he did it.

Speaking of dreams,

was it your dream to be a janitor?

You ask a lot of questions.

I'm sorry. That's what an ass will do.

You said it.

No. I was in nursing school.

I had two years left. I was close.

Two years left? What happened?

Two years ago, her dad died in Iraq.

He was in the military.

So it all fell on me. I quit school.

But I needed a job, so I'm a janitor.

- I'm sorry.

- You know what?

My boyfriend was on his way over

to help with the car

and if I'm not there, or if you...

Oh, yeah, no. Oh, I'm sorry. I understand.

- You understand?

- I completely understand.

Forgive me.

I should be getting home anyway.

- It's getting late.

- You want me to get some of that?

No. Please, it's all fine.

Let's get out of here.

- So, you enjoy yourself?

- Yeah.

Looks like it's gonna rain tonight.

Yeah.

Sure hope your boyfriend gets here soon.

What boyfriend?

Good night, Ariel.

I guess I'll see you around, then.

- Yeah. Thank you!

- All right. Hope you enjoyed yourself.

That man is persistent.

I nearly lost my job.

All right, come on, let's get some gas.

Someone is Sister Sloshed.

- Wow!

- Somebody woke up mistah.

She's all yours.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Bye. Bye, precious.

- Tell John I'll see him in the morning.

- I will.

- Bye. I had a good time.

- Bye.

- Mark, you better not be driving.

- I have a driver!

What is this?

Oh, yeah, you're wasted.

Come on, I'll take you to bed.

I might take you to bed.

- You gonna take me? Okay. Take me.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna take you to bed on the couch.

What are you doing?

All right, babe. Let me close the blinds.

You know how sick

the guy across the way is...

I know.

- Hey.

- Please stop it.

- Look at my ass!

- Babe, babe.

- That's not funny.

- Let him watch.

- He can learn something.

- Really, stop.

Just get the remote off the table.

Oh, my God. Really?

You can't do one spontaneous thing

in your whole life? Just one thing?

Who cares? Let him watch!

Come on.

Go ahead.

Mommy, I'm hungry.

You're gonna have some breakfast

at school. All right?

We appreciate your seeing us this morning,

Mr. and Mrs. Brunson.

What's this about?

We'd like to buy your company.

My father worked his entire life

building that company.

So did ours.

That, I'm aware of.

But I've been looking at your quarterly

reports for the last three years

and things aren't looking too good.

You can't survive with those numbers.

Yes, I can, and I have been for years.

And with the pick up of Dexter Sky,

well, things are looking up.

Dexter Sky, yes, our biggest client.

You just pulled them right out

from under us.

But in order to do that, you had to make

some pretty steep promises, yes?

Puts you in a great position to sell.

It does, John, but you know what?

If I were in the same position,

I probably would've done the same thing.

That's really great.

You think that all these things were done

to get you to buy my company?

Come on. Of course.

Your father groomed the two of you

from birth to run his company

and he managed to raise

a stellar successor.

I admired your father.

He took one small computer company

and he turned it into all of this.

He was a brilliant man.

Yeah, well, too bad

you weren't man enough to say it

to his face when he was alive.

- Walt.

- No. All this man ever did was torment Dad.

- Walter...

- You'd rather climb into your damn grave

than watch two brothers

beat you at your own game.

Good day, gentlemen.

- Mr. Brunson. Sir. Wait.

- I've never been so insulted in my life.

Sir, if you could just give us a minute.

- What is wrong with you?

- What? All I said was the truth!

You want to see all of Dad's things sold,

everything he worked for, at auction?

Is that what you want?

Dad would not want to see his son

in here begging!

What are you... Who was begging?

He wasn't begging!

Shut up, John.

Well.

- Hey, how you doing?

- First name?

Lindsey. L-I-N-D-S...

You got it.

- Go on in.

- No, I can't stay right now.
