Grilled Page #6

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?

Do you guys...

have any reason

to kill us?

We got any reason...?

No, I don't... no.

We got no reason

to kill you.

- That's nice.

- Mm-hmm.

I mean, looks like we have something

in common, right?

Right.

I'm Maurice.

My name is Bobby.

Bobby? Good.

- Bobby, this is Dave.

- How you doing, man?

- Nice to see you.

- And Dave...

- I didn't...

- Oh, uh, Irv. Irving.

- Irving.

- Yes.

It's unbelievable.

His father's name's

Irving.

- No sh*t.

- He passed away recently

and I miss hearing his name.

Thank you for keeping it alive.

- Oh, sure.

- And, you know, my, my wife,

my ex-wife...

she lives on Irving Blvd.

- She got the house. It's a small world.

- It really is...

- how it all... it all ties in.

- We're all...

we're all in it.

I got a great respect

for you, Bobby.

I would like...

very much just to give you

your gun back.

Well, Maurice,

I would very much like that...

too.

Would you pledge

to me,

man to man,

that we can just sit down

and eat together

as friends?

We'll show you how

you can eat like kings...

and then we'll

all go our separate ways.

Yeah, I think

we could do that.

- Yeah, I don't see...

- Is that a promise?

- Absolutely.

- Yeah.

A pledge of honor?

Honor is

very important.

Sinatra said

that it's everything.

It's everything

a man's worth, honor.

I think the honor system,

when instilled correctly,

is... is a good system.

So...

so let's do it that way,

strictly with honor.

Thank you

for doing this.

- You're a good pro.

- Appreciate it.

Sorry about

the "fat" thing.

Just going through

a lot of sh*t right now.

Yeah, it's...

it's okay.

Well, you wanna eat?

Can we eat?

Coming right up.

Wait wait wait.

Hold on, hold on, just for one second.

Just please be quiet

for one second. Hey.

- Is it done?

- Yep.

- How's Suzy? Okay?

- She's fine.

- Put her on.

- Wants to know if you're okay.

Hi, honey, I'm great.

Yeah, I told you

it was gonna be easy, didn't I?

Look, I just want you to do

what the guys tell you to do.

'Cause if you don't stay healthy,

they don't get paid.

- Now, I'll see you later, huh?

- Okay.

Why don't you tell him

how you f***ed up everything?

Tell him about

Maury and the doctor.

- Oh, shut up.

- Shut the f*** up.

- Hello?

- Are you bullshitting me?

- No, it's... it's... it's fine.

- Who's Maury and the doctor?

It's just two guys that came out the

woodwork. Everything is under control.

- Yeah, well, get rid of them.

- Well, I, I can't do that now, Boris.

- Why not?

- L... I made a promise.

I don't give a sh*t

about your promises.

I don't want any loose ends here.

Do you understand that?

Okay, everything

is under control.

- You're not done. I need you here.

- Okay.

Goldbluth's having

the party for his kid.

He's open, he's exposed...

it's getting late.

I want you to clean yourself up

- and get over here.

- Well, what do you mean "clean"?

Put on a tie.

It's a party.

Okay, this is my... Boris, he said that

we... uh, we gotta take them out.

- No! Stop!

- We gotta take them out!

- Oh my God!

- Come on, no! Come on, man!

- We had a thing set up.

- We went through this!

- Be quiet! Shut up.

- Please.

- We got a promise together.

- Quiet! No no, we're not doing it now.

We're gonna get paid.

We're gonna work out a deal. Shut up.

- Hey, we have a thing.

- No, we don't have a thing, okay?

Every time I break a deal,

my life gets better,

so sit the f*** down

and shut up,

big mouth.

We're just gonna walk away.

You'll never see us again.

- Right, no.

- If you let us go right now.

- Okay, that works for me.

- We're not gonna say anything, man.

Okay. Right. And your

mother's name is what?

- That sucks.

- Suzanne, go to Loridonna's house.

- Yeah, I am.

- Because you and Tony had a fight.

- Oh, like an alibi.

- That's right.

One:
You and Tony

had a fight.

Two:
You were

at Lori's house all day.

And three:
You have no idea where

Tony is. It's one, two, three.

Oh, Jesus.

Suzy, where's Tony?

I don't know.

What are you

gonna do with these guys?

Don't worry about them.

They're not going anywhere.

- Do you think they're gone?

- I don't hear anything.

All right. All right,

let's try. Move over.

Tuck! Tuck in!

Tuck in!

- That's all I got.

- Tuck in! Tuck in!

- All right...

- Kick that son of a b*tch.

- Kick out.

- It's out!

- It's out!

- Go, just go.

All right.

Push me. Push.

All right, I'm out.

Come on, gimme your hands.

I'll pull you out.

Ready, one, two...

Oh, boy, this ain't

happening, man.

- Go back in. I'll come around.

- All right. Oh, f*** me.

I'm... I'm stuck

in both directions.

All right, hold on.

I'll go around.

Just relax, relax.

- Get me out of here.

- I know. I know, shut up.

- Maury, I don't like this.

- I know, I know.

What are you doing?

All right.

- Think I threw up a little.

- I'm coming around.

Maury, you can't

leave me in here. Maury!

Aw, sh*t! I gotta

find something!

- Maury!

- I'll be right back!

- Get me out of here first!

- I'll be right back.

Maury, don't

leave me alone.

I feel alone, Maury!

Am I?!

Get me out of here!

Ready! Pick them up!

Mr. Goldbluth... well,

you've given us

a beautiful celebration

with a bounty of food

that is, as always,

an exquisite experience.

And I say, on the occasion of Jerry

becoming a man...

thank you,

Cookie Goldbluth.

Thank you

for your generosity

and your hospitality

and your good taste.

You said that exactly

the way I told you to.

Well,

now let us give

thanks to God

who brought us

all together today

as a boy becomes

a man in His eyes,

and a son becomes

a man in the eyes of his father.

It's been said that

a boy becomes a man

when a man is needed.

But when is he needed?

During our service

this morning,

Jerry read

about a people who,

fleeing a mighty army,

were faced

with the prospect of climbing

an impossible mountain,

and God spoke,

and He said,

"Make an alliance with Me,

to climb this mountain

halfway."

When those who survived

made it as far as they could,

the hand of God

reached down

from the heavens

and lifted them

to the top.

I saw him, Dave.

He was very beautiful.

- Yeah? Who would that be?

- Goldbluth.

Perfect prospect,

our guy.

F*** out of here, man.

Okay, we had enough fun

for one day, don't you think?

- People in there wanna kill us.

- And him.

They're putting a hit on Goldbluth.

Come on, let's go.

Mau... Maury, stop, okay?

There's psychotic motherfuckers in there

trying to end our lives. Okay?

Be happy you're not dead.

Something brought us

to this moment, to Goldbluth.

It's so clear, Davey.

Today was no accident.

Everything led us here.

This idea we had

of-of the perfect prospect,

we made it up.

It's a fantasy.

Yeah, but I now know

what we were talking about.

It's like we were saying,

"If somebody is up there,

then He should create

a guy like this for us." And He did.

Everybody is always

saying they think they saw God...
