Grilled Page #2

Synopsis: In L.A., Maurice and Dave sell steaks - high-end cuts of beef. They've hit a patch of no sales, and they're facing being fired. Maurice needs money to enroll in his final semester of acupuncture school, and the recently-separated Dave needs money for his daughter's birthday gift. Their final client card: a beautiful woman opens the door, and she's attracted to Maurice, but a desperate call from a suicidal friend interrupts her signing the contract. Still hoping to close the sale, Maurice and Dave offer to drive her to the friend's house, and there, troubles multiply. Facing guns, hitmen, and women's secrets, a sale is the farthest thing from their minds. Are they about to be grilled?

delivery of this.

No no, you taste victory.

You smell success.

- Sh*t! F***! Come on!

- No no!

We should have stayed for tea

when she asked us.

- No f***ing way!

- Hold it.

Yeah yeah, no, we're okay.

Just wait right there.

We're gonna be okay.

Andy, Sally, you're gonna love it.

It's a beaut.

- We changed our mind.

- No no no, it's okay.

Andy and Sally,

we see this all the time.

Absolutely, you know, it's-it's-it's

common to feel a little overwhelmed

- on a new purchase.

- Sure sure.

Change is good!

You know that.

Knock back

if you think change is good.

Come on, Andy, Sally.

We had an agreement!

You go through

leads like water.

I think it's time to give it a break.

You boys need a rest.

What are you,

a psychiatrist?

You could use some time

in Ensenada, Langer.

Both of you

probably, apart.

- Now you're our social director?

- No, it means we're fired.

Is that the expression,

"Go to Ensenada"?

It's a slump, Dick, okay?

Everybody goes through 'em.

Dick, can't acknowledge a simple

string of bad luck?

The word doesn't exist. If you believe

in luck, you're a schmuck.

You used to kill, Maury.

What happened?

- Things change, Dick.

- Forget it, Maury.

Dick, it's me,

all right?

Just tell my kid I loved her.

I'm gonna go find a ledge.

Don't be so

f***ing dramatic.

I'll give you something.

These are the best

I have today.

There's a deal in here,

God damn it, maybe two.

If you don't

write any business with these,

then we gotta

say goodbye.

I need closers

who close.

Now come on,

you guys are pros.

Don't press,

for Christ's sake.

I want you to go eat a good breakfast,

have an extra Danish,

then go write

some business.

Stay cool, boys.

It's gonna be a scorcher.

He could be here.

Perfect prospect.

A leaf from God.

I'm ready for him.

See, when I think

of that guy,

something happens.

Something kicks in.

I know. I know.

You get very excited.

- Oh.

- Nice, very nice.

Very good.

- Bye.

- Bye.

She's a very

fast learner.

I started teaching her

about three years ago.

Now she gives me lessons,

but not piano.

I'll tell you something.

With our program,

you'll be able to save a sizable portion

of your music teacher salary.

It's the right thing

to do, Leon. Take it.

It's very attractive, I must say.

Let me think about it.

- Go ahead.

- Think about it.

He wants

to think about it.

Leon.

Beethoven... do you think

he thought to himself,

"Hey, should I write..."?

No, he wrote it.

And thank God he did.

It's the right thing to do, Leon.

Take it.

If I'm not gonna be a great composer,

at least I can eat well.

Next year I'm gonna

be out to here.

I'll tell you

something else,

even if you and that pretty little lady

there decide to tie the knot,

we just make

a few adjustments.

You too.

We talk

about that a lot.

I should marry her,

shouldn't I?

When I look at her, I can tell she

just wants to be your wife.

Fellas, it's a sweet deal,

but I think I should...

run it by Karen.

When she moves in here,

my fridge is gonna be her fridge.

So why don't you

just leave your card

and we'll discuss it?

Take it.

Hold the pen!

You don't talk.

Yeah,

the next move is his.

He's only got one move.

- He takes the pen.

- He takes the pen, I know.

Why didn't you

give me a signal or something?

I don't care.

Give me the finger.

- I shushed you.

- You can't shush me.

I'm locked in, I'm not gonna hear that.

Touch my leg. That's all.

Jesus, Davey,

I gotta finish this semester.

Then six months

of clinical, I'm a doctor.

L... I know.

My father would

have known that,

then... wow.

He'd still be dead, but with a different

expression on his face.

He'll know.

I don't think he ever

thought of me as a man.

You know, my father?

I talk to him,

and I tell him,

"Be patient."

It's not overfor me.

And if it's

not overfor me,

then in a strange way

it's not over for him.

I'm out there.

I'm looking.

Yeah, what are you

looking for?

A sign... something...

that God sees me.

Oh, sh*t.

Where's the other

lead card?

You have them.

What, Davey?

What's going on, Davey?

Stop the car!

Just find the card!

Find the card that you lost!

Look at all these

hamburger wrappers here!

- I told you not to eat this sh*t.

- Oh, yeah, just me!

- I'm the only one who eats, yeah!

- It's all you.

Oh, bullshit!

We pull up to a drive-through,

I order, you just

stare, right? You eat!

- Yeah, it's not a religion with me!

- You f***ing eat!

It's not like a carnival ride

with me, all right?

Gimme the card. Gimme the last card

before you lose this one.

- I'm sorry!

- This is it. This is it, Davey.

- This is the last one.

- I'm sorry, all right?

This is the last card, Davey.

We gotta focus now, all right?

- All right? Take it in.

- All right.

Feels good. We're good.

Are you good?

I'm good.

You son of a b*tch!

I'll punch your a**hole!

I'm good.

"I'll punch

your a**hole"?

Got confused.

I wanted to say "I'll punch you,"

and "You're an a**hole."

Yeah.

We'll figure it out

on the way.

God, please

don't make me beg.

Just a minute.

Hi.

Hi, I'm Maurice Burns.

I'm from Valley Food Service.

And this is Dave Langer.

He works for me.

Yes, you're here.

Come in.

Thank you.

I'm on the telephone.

A friend of mine is having boy problems,

but sit,

I'll be right back.

Salesmen.

Holy sh*t.

Nice twigs.

Clean.

God in heaven.

Maury, put your dick

in a bag and have the bag buried.

This is a deal, okay?

Come on, I smell it, okay?

And as a point of information,

it smells very good.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

- Be ready, man.

- I'm right here.

- Shut the f*** up. She can hear you.

- Let's sell some meat.

- Shut up. Yeah.

- I've seen beautiful women before.

- You'd need a pretty big bag.

- Shut the f*** up!

So we can cut your steaks

a half-inch thick,

three-quarters of an inch or a full

inch. Which do you prefer?

I like variety.

I'm gonna start your package

with a 10-lb. Box of free filets.

The best. It's just our way of saying

that you're special.

- Don't you think?

- What sort of freezer do you have?

Well, just the one

in the...

Just a little one

above the refrigerator?

It's okay. It's okay.

We can put a unit in the house.

Oh, really? What's a unit?

Excuse me.

Okay, this is

going good.

Yeah, smooth.

Just don't rush.

Got nowhere

to rush to, okay?

- I'm just saying.

- I'm doing fine.

Suzy's freaking.

I mean, she... she can't

find the goldfish,

and something is flipping

in her stomach.

I am sorry, but I told her that

I have a doctor over,

that he's friend, and that's you.

Please come with me.

Tell her that it's okay,

that it's nothing.

Come on.

Suzy, sweetie,

here he is.

Hello, hi,

this is, uh...

Dr. Kissinger.

Can I help you?

Mm-hmm, yeah.

Well, you know what?

L... uh, I see a lot of that,

and it's nothing

to worry about.

Uh, the rule we go by

in medicine is

if it's a critter of any heft,
