She's a real beauty, huh?
Yep, a real beaut.
This car is for you. Now, let me guess.
The man of the house
needs a second car
so the little lady
can go to the garden club
while he plays gin rummy
with the boys, huh?
Actually, we need a car
so we can go rock climbing.
Rock climbing?
Why would anybody go climb a rock?
Man, things are changing.
I remember when men were men
and women were gals
and we'd call coloreds, coloreds.
You know, actually,
I think we're gonna get going.
Hey, come on, sweetie, don't be a b*tch.
Let's talk some numbers here.
Hey, hey, hey,
don't talk to my wife like that.
Hey, boy, I fought in the big war.
I mean, nobody tells me what to do.
You understand? Hold this.
- Oh, my God.
- Audie Murphy, motherf***er.
Somebody get Dick Lewiston off the lot.
What's it matter anyways, Mr. Selleck?
No one's selling anything.
- It's a damn killing field out there.
- Mr. Selleck, I think I made a sale.
- Terrific. Good job, Teddy.
- And he wants to pay in cash,
non-sequential unmarked bills
neatly packed in this canvas bag.
Well, that's a bank bag, Teddy.
My eyes. My eyes. My LASIK.
- Sh*t. Somebody call the cops.
- It burns!
- Teddy, go flush your eyes out.
- I feel like a Smurf just jizzed in my face.
We got to do something.
I've had this lot 27 years,
and it's dying right before my eyes.
We either do something drastic,
or we pull the plug.
I'm thinking about calling a hotshot,
a weekend warrior.
I was thinking about
calling a mercenary.
What?
- A mercenary?
- Hell, Zooha, I got no choice.
The bank's crawling up my ass
for back payments.
If we don't turn this thing around
by August,
- this place is gonna be a TCBY.
- But a mercenary?
All they do is sell cars and move on.
There's no connection
to the community, Ben.
Don't do this.
It hasn't gotten that bad, has it?
Please, God,
forgive me for what I'm about to do.
- By the way, great sale.
- Hear, hear.
Very good.
Thank you, darling.
I don't know why, but I can't enjoy
breakfast anywhere but a strip club.
My mom used to
always cook bacon naked.
She would cook bacon all day long.
Don "The Goods" Ready. Yes. Yeah.
You want some cars sold.
We'll be there.
Fourth of July weekend, three-day sale.
We got a dealership in the ICU.
getting suntans on the lot.
Guess what, fellas?
We're going to Temecula.
F***, Don.
Honey, we just finished the last job
three hours ago.
Don, I don't mean to complain,
but it's been a year and a half
since I've been home.
And I'm 90% sure
I left my front door open.
I don't know, Don.
I think we sit this one out.
You've been pushing us pretty hard
since 'Querque.
Forget about 'Querque, all right?
What do we do? We sell cars.
What does a tiger do?
Hunts and kills prey.
What else are we gonna do in this life?
I need every swinging dick in that field.
Babs, come on. Let's do it.
All right. We are headed
to Temecula, California.
Population 98,000.
It's a family business.
Owner, one Benjamin K. Selleck.
Married 30 years to wife, Tammy.
One daughter, lvy, age 29,
looks good in beat-up jeans.
Yes, she does.
One son named Peter, age 10,
loves robot dinosaurs and pizza night.
Looks like 10-year-old Peter
got a five o'clock shadow.
Yeah, it must be the fax ink.
but their fax service...
- What are you doing, honey?
- Enjoying myself.
Sir, there's no smoking on airplanes.
I know. It's ridiculous, isn't it?
Don't worry about it, I'll be quick.
Sir, if you light that,
I'll have to report you to the FAA.
Stacey, do you know when the first
commercial flight went smokeless?
- No.
- 1973.
And did you know that in 1969,
when smoking was allowed
on all flights,
- we put a man on the moon?
- I had no idea.
Look.
You know what that is?
That's a remnant of a better time,
but they welded it shut.
And it starts with ashtrays,
and it ends with all of our precious
I remember back in the day
when you got on a plane
and you knew
you were in for a good time.
- A little smoking, a little drinking.
- Yeah.
And the stewardesses.
Stacey, you come from a proud tradition
of blazing hot stewardesses.
And now you can't do one damn thing
without someone reporting you to
the Department of Homeland Security.
- Am I right?
- That's right.
- You listen to Don.
- I had to take my pants off
and nibble my Old Spice
down to three ounces
just to get on the plane, Stacey.
They made me throw out
my mouthwash.
I had to give up my bath jellies.
They made me breastfeed
some old man.
That's what I'm talking about.
But we don't have to take it, Stacey.
and Rosa Parks
and David Lee Roth
when he left Van Halen,
we can say, "Enough. Enough injustice."
And when you and I are old and gray,
we can look back on this
and remember when we were
and we smoked one,
we smoked one for America.
Yeah.
You motherf***er.
Nice work. Nice work.
Who are you?
I'm Don Ready, and I got the goods.
This is some killer kush.
Nun pops her head out and says,
"Sh*t. Guess I got to gargle."
Poor Don. It's like everything he does
is to make him forget about 'Querque.
Takes a lot of pain to sell cars
the way that man does.
- You're here from Selleck Motors?
- No, but my dad is.
You're supposed to put the name of the
party you're picking up, not your own.
I love the drawing, though.
Yeah, I'm a really good drawer.
I like to draw stomach muscles
the most.
I can also draw Darth Vader's helmet.
I can also draw him.
I can draw a saber,
a lightsaber or a regular sword.
It doesn't even matter.
What the f*** is wrong with you?
Are you drunk?
Are you retarded?
Because we're here to help you.
Don't move. Dad, Amber Alert! Adult!
Stranger danger! Stranger danger! Dad!
Here, relax, Peter, okay? Take a swig.
It looks like it wasn't the fax ink.
He's some sort of man-child.
It's a pituitary problem, ma'am.
He's 10,
in the developing body of an adult.
I'm sorry, buddy. I am totally sorry.
Put it up here. High five.
Good effort there. You must be Ben.
I'm Don Ready.
- That's me.
- And this must be lvy.
Wow! Can I ask you a quick question?
How much does a polar bear weigh?
- No idea.
- Don Ready. How are you?
- Wow.
- Went old-school with you.
- Impressive.
I'm Babs.
And, yes, the rug matches the drapes.
And this beautiful man is Jibby.
- Hi.
- What's up?
And who is this guy?
Well, you are a strapping young man.
- Brent Gage, sir.
- Brent Gage, now that is a strong name.
I don't know why, but right off the bat,
I like you a lot.
What's going on?
Peter, let's help the crew
with their luggage.
Awesome. Hold this, Dad. Transformer.
Cute, isn't he?
I'd f*** him.
Hey, what is wrong with you, lady?
He is a child.
We're only gonna be here
for three days,
so try not to fall in love with me.
