All of it.

Retard!

I love you.

I've got some things

I need to make right on the ground!

I'm doing this for my friend McDermott!

He died, and I'm jumping for him!

Makes all the sense in the world!

One, two, three! Jump!

You got yourself a good deal there.

Pop the clutch! Pop the clutch!

We did it.

We sold every last car on the lot.

Man, I wish Don was here to see this.

Hey, look, everyone! It's Superman!

I want to come down

right at Selleck Motors, all right?

- Got it.

- All right.

Where are the cars?

Wait a minute! Is that Don?

Look out! Run! Run!

Watch your head, team! Coming in hot.

Hey, Jibby, where are all the cars?

Don, we did it.

We sold every single one of them.

You're shitting me. That's fantastic!

- They all stepped up.

- Unbelievable.

I'm proud of you guys, all of you!

We couldn't have done it without you,

Mr. Ready.

You taught us all to stand on our own.

Your time here has been rich

and filled with wisdom.

I don't know what to say.

Why not start with the truth, Don?

Well, the truth is, you sons of b*tches

saved Selleck Motors!

F*** you, Don Ready!

You didn't sell all the cars. You lose.

You're losers.

What are you talking about? All the cars

are gone. Lot stays with the Sellecks.

Come on, Stu, a deal's a deal.

We sold all the cars on the lot.

Nobody sold the Bandit Car.

Rules are rules. The lot's mine.

The Bandit Car?

Don said every car on the lot.

Bandit Car's a car and it's on the lot.

Hold on a second. That thing is a prop.

Don, that is not a prop.

That is a $200,000 automobile.

This is good.

Is this the great Don Ready complaining

about how hard it is to sell a car?

Did you hear that, everybody?

Did you hear that?

Maybe he's not so great.

Maybe he sucks!

So, I guess you lose!

Ben, you lose the lot.

Don, you have to skip town.

Right, everybody?

You know, Paxton, I been doing

a lot of thinking these past few days.

About what, a**hole?

Dreams.

About how we either, you know...

We either cherish them

or let them die on the vine.

What'd you want to be

when you were a kid?

Me, I wanted to be a ref in the WNBA.

You know, 'cause I like women

and I like basketball.

Can you get off my back?

- You want to do this one on your own?

- Yeah, thanks, man.

I get that. Okay, you guys do your thing.

What'd you dream about, Paxton?

Music. Music's been my passion

ever since I fell in love with the classics.

Now, when you say classics,

what do you mean?

Well, it's a pretty short list.

You got your 'N Sync.

You got your 98 Degrees,

your Boyz II Men.

And then pretty much

the Backstreet Boys

came along

and revolutionized music as a whole.

Hello!

What about O-Town?

That was the best night of my life.

See, I haven't had the best night

of my life yet. Someday though, huh?

All personal crap aside,

I hear Big Ups is pretty damn good.

- Come on, who said that?

- People talk.

- Is he doing what I think he's doing?

- No way.

If he moves that car,

I'll eat my own p*ssy.

Attagirl.

Thirty-two years in the business

and I've never seen this,

a dealer-to-dealer lot sale.

This is suicide.

Come on, Don, stay focused.

Let me ask you something, man.

You ever think about just dropping

everything and going for it?

I'm not talking about setting up

some studio in the back of a car lot.

I'm talking about you, Ricky and Jason

living the life, man,

and putting yourselves

on the line on a daily basis.

Wait. What are you doing?

Picture this, Paxton.

Big Ups touring

the Florida Panhandle, right?

Gainesville, sold out.

Pensacola, sold out. Right?

And now it's Panama Beach.

Lights go down,

and all you can hear is 7,500 girls

screaming at the top

of their lungs, right?

And the bass, it starts pumping.

Pump, pump, pump, pump.

The girls start jumping.

Jump, jump, jump.

Ricky and Jason, they hit the stage.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance.

What happens next, Paxton?

I don't know. What?

- An engine roars to life.

- What?

I mean, just f***ing roars!

Who rises from beneath the stage?

- Who?

- Jesus.

The guy with the best hair

in the business.

- Paxton Harding!

- Yeah.

- In the goddamn Bandit Car...

- What?

...T- top, golden eagle on the hood.

And the word is,

it's one of only five used in the movie.

And the girls, they love it.

And you want to know why?

Yeah. 'Cause we're good.

You're goddamn right, you're good.

You, my friend,

are a full-blown rock star in that car.

Holy sh*t. He might have him.

I feel like I'm watching

a wonder of nature,

like a blue whale giving birth

or a pig going down on a hyena.

You know, Paxton,

a man much wiser than myself

once said that

most men lead lives

of quiet desperation.

Now, do not silence Big Ups

before the girls,

nay,

the world, has heard the first verse.

Pump, pump.

Pump, pump.

Pump, pump.

How much for the Trans Am?

No payments till January.

I'll take it!

He did it!

Who just got 80 grand

for that prop, huh?

- Big Ups!

- Big Ups!

This is the new band car!

Yeah!

Get it down!

Hey, Brent, we would've had a wonderful

weekend up at that cabin, huh?

You know what?

I'm gonna f***ing knock you out.

You already have.

Basically, I have to carpe diem here, lvy.

See you!

Well, it's official. I am single.

I'm sorry, lvy. I was just selling a car.

Are you? Are you really sorry, Don?

Okay, you got me, I'm not sorry.

You know what?

Paxton and the Bandit Car

were just parked on the spot

where I intend to plant some roots.

- You hear that, team?

- What?

What, honey?

Cutting up the Hacienda Court card.

Yep. I'm settling in Temecula.

- Don!

- Yep.

I've been doing a lot of thinking

about friends and family,

and I decided that I can't care for them

as much on the road,

so I'm settling here.

- Speaking of family, where's Blake?

- Right here, Don.

Come here, Son.

Now, your father, he can't do anything

about the past, but I'll tell you

I can guarantee you I will always be

there for you in the future, all right?

Don, I'm like a foot taller than you.

Hug your father.

Come here, Son. There we go.

Thanks, Dad. Daddy.

I love it. As far as the beautiful

lvy Selleck is concerned, she's it for me.

- She's the one.

- That was just a one-night stand, buddy.

No, no, you're my woman.

That's my son. Don't overthink it.

Now, if someone went

and made a beer run,

I think we'd have everything we need

for a goddamn kickass party.

DJ! Play We Are Family

by Sister Sledge!

Drop it!

Finally! Somebody hit the nail on

the head. That's what I'm talking about.

That is a perfect song.

What the f***?

I warned you over and over again

not to tell me how to do my job.

You brought this on yourself.

Are you happy?

Just play a good song!

You got it, friend!

Hey, McDermott, we did it.

A happy ending!

Yeah, if you call selling cars

in Temecula a happy ending.

Temecula is not

even motherfucking Fresno

Well, I'm gonna make the most of it.

Ivy Selleck, come here.
