service, private inves--
- No.
- Thank you very much.
Thanks for considering.
Thank you.
Jimmy vestvood,
private investigator.
Private investigator?
So, you help find things?
Yes, sir, I do.
How can I be of help?
Can you help me
find my quarter?
It's right there.
Oh, you're good.
You're good.
Hey Jimmy, can you
investigate us a dime bag?
Can you find me
an Asian woman?
Yo, dawg, hook me up
with a record deal.
I'm persian like a cat
do you like my hat?
That's my brother, Matt.
- Investigate that.
- Jamshid.
What do you think you're doing?
Come walk with me.
Passing out flyers
on my time?
This is very selfish.
And don't you forget,
if it wasn't for me
to give you job,
you would be back home
in Iran in prison.
- Why would I be in prison?
- Pshh.
Do you think they need
to have a reason
- to put you in prison in Iran?
- Good point.
But it doesn't even make
a difference, Mr. mehdi.
These people all just
want wishy-washy favors.
They don't even get
what a p.I. Does.
And no offense, Mr. mehdi,
but I did not come to America
to work at a persian
supermarket.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You should be grateful
that you have a place
to work in this economy.
Ask Rick.
He'll tell you.
Dude, I'm white, good-looking,
I have a ph.D in economics
from Harvard and this
is the best job I've had
- since graduating.
- Okay, do it again,
and this time,
use more elbow doctor.
Elbow grease.
"Ph.D."
- prick.
- I heard that.
That's for my
little baby, ooh...
Hey, you open it,
you buy it.
- Homayoun?
- Dad. Hey.
Jamshid, you remember
my son?
Homayoun? The last time
I saw you, you were
a little boy.
What happened?
Puberty?
- That was 20 years ago.
- Wow.
And now he's getting
married to homeira joon.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
You look so happy.
Yeah.
She's always happy.
And once they are married,
he's gonna take over
the business.
I don't want to be
a butcher.
I mean,
I'm a vegetarian.
Don't be a p*ssy.
No offense to you, homeira joon.
I like p*ssy.
Okay.
Son, I promised your mother
on her deathbed
that you're going
to take over this
butcher empire.
- Homayoun?
- Mh-hmm?
It's you.
Don't break my heart.
Don't break my heart.
Okay, okay, dad.
Let's take it easy, okay?
- It's okay sir, it's okay.
- It's gonna be okay, dad.
Mr. mehdi, come back.
Come back.
Okay... okay.
Congratulations
on the wedding.
Stay happy.
So, how is your mother?
She's good, thanks god.
She's good.
Well, I tell you what.
If you convince her
to go on a date with me,
I will let you
pass out your flyers.
Mr. mehdi, I'm not gonna
pimp out my own mother.
You're not pimping her out.
I just want to take her
out for a Starbucks.
You scratch my balls,
I scratch yours.
I'm pretty sure
it's "Back."
well, my back
is not itching.
Okay, you got a deal.
I scratch your balls.
Okay, I will give her
my beef.
She's gonna love it.
And, I will
throw in my bone.
Mr. Westwood.
At your service.
I understand you're
a private investigator.
- Yes, I am.
- I may have a job for you.
- What kind of job?
- Please, get in.
Mr. Westwood?
Mr. Westwood?
Mr. Westwood. Hey.
- Ugh!
- Sorry. Sir.
Get in. Plug the nose.
Sorry, sir.
- Oh, god.
- Let me get that for you.
- Oh-hh!
- Sorry, sir.
Oh, wow.
A big-screen TV.
This is
the American dream.
Mr. Monroe will be
with you in a moment.
Can I get you a cocktail
while you wait?
Yes. Tea.
Hot tea.
Stirred, not shaking.
Shaken, not stirred...
Oh.
Hello, deer.
Hello?
Mr. Westwood?
Over here.
Oh, sorry,
I was just practicing
- my investigator techniques.
- J.P. Monroe.
Nice to meet you.
Don't mind him.
That's just some liberal
I shot in the head once.
Just kidding.
Oh!
You're just kidding.
No, I did. I shot him.
Just kiddin'.
No.
I did. I shot him.
Just kidding.
Oh,
you're kidding again.
- He died of natural causes.
- Oh, good.
Right after I shot him
in the head.
Not good.
You don't mind if I call you
Jimmy, do you?
- At your service.
- You're not a liberal?
I don't even know
what that means.
Here, sir.
Stirred, not shaken.
Thank you, Mr. Karl.
Thank you very much.
- Very appreciate your efforts.
- Sure.
Oh, ho, ho,
it's magic
you know
never believe
it's not so
it's magic
you know
never believe
it's not so.
Just stop it. Stop. Stop.
Hello, I'm Marcy.
Marcy Monroe.
I'm Jimmy.
Jimmy vestvood.
Like Clint eastvood,
but vestvood.
The pleasure's all mine,
Mr. Westwood.
Oh, no, no, I insist.
The pleasure is mine.
No, no, I insist.
The pleasure is all mine.
No, you see,
I cannot accept that
because where I come from,
the pleasure between us?
It must be all mine.
Well, I'm a modern
American woman
and this is America,
so the pleasure will
have to be mine.
Okay, okay, fine.
The pleasure is all... mine.
Oh. Sorry,
that's my phone.
Oh, "Blocked number"?
Curious who that could be.
Hold on.
Hello?
Maman?
Maman, I'm busy.
Yes, maman, I ate
my vegetables today.
No, I did not find
a vife.
He smells like beef.
Sorry about that.
Very important client.
So, vere vas ve?
Honey, why don't you go get
your hair done or something?
Mr. Westwood and I have
some business to discuss.
Okay.
You like staring at my wife,
don't ya, jimbo?
Yes.
Oh, no, I mean,
no, sir. No. No.
Oh, it's okay.
Many, many men enjoy staring
at my old lady.
Which is part of the reason why
I brought you here today, Jim.
The reason
I wanna hire you, jimbo,
my wife is having an affair
with an a-rab,
if you can imagine.
And what better way
to catch an a-rab
than with another a-rab--
in the act?
Good point, sir. Very good
point, very good point.
But sir, just fyi,
I am actually not arab.
I'm actually from Iran.
"Iraqi, irani, kiss my Fanny."
What do I know?
You know these people.
You know how this guy thinks,
where he goes, what he does.
Follow them.
Find out if my wife
is having an affair.
Karl?
There's $2500 in this envelope,
all right? It's yours.
And there's plenty more
where this comes from
if you think you can
get the job done.
Oh, yes, sir,
I can get the job done.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Leila. You escared me.
How did you get in here?
Easy. I let myself in
by squeezing through
the bathroom window
after jumping off
the fire escape
of the adjacent building.
Jimmy. I have to
tell you something.
This isn't easy
for me to say,
but there's no better time
than the now.
Ever since we were kids,
I've had the craziest
crush on you.
There's just
something about you.
You're so pure,
so innocent.
I mean,
look at your face.
You even have
deer-like features.
- Deers are creatures?
- No. Deer-like features.
You had a deer
for a teacher?
