Tom, check it out.

What is it?

Oh,

yes! I like beer!

How cool is that?

Hey, I have got

to get one of these.

Where can I get one?

I've got an Air Force buddy

who would just flip for this.

Yeah my... my husband

invented it, so...

I thought you

two were separated?

We are.

I think people grow up

with an idea about what their

life is going to be, and it's

hard to break out of that.

All it takes is

a little faith.

It's like when the Wizard

gave the Scarecrow a diploma.

It completely changed the

Scarecrow's idea of himself,

and he was able to do things

he never thought he could do.

Your last flight.

Jealous.

It's a little scary.

You think you're

gonna' like real estate?

Well, if I can get past

the paperwork,

and Louisa being

a control freak.

Oh, yeah.

You know it. You're gonna'

be pretty good at it.

I mean, people warm up to you.

I'm going to miss

buddy-bidding with you, Rita.

Don't start. No.

Come down to

scheduling with me.

I want to check

on my trip trade.

Surprise!

Mike!

Bridget!

Good luck.

And we were

just going to talk.

Well, I'm so

glad to have you back.

I'm not

ready to come back.

Well, you

could've fooled me.

I mean, what's...

I know it doesn't

make sense, but...

Could you call Sam and

see what he's doing tonight?

There's something I'd like

to go over with you guys.

You came up with it.

I might say it, but

you said it too, once.

You would say it again

and again and again

with each product,

"This is the one..."

Yes. Okay, maybe.

Maybe.

Yes. See?

See anyway, who cares?

What's the point, right?

The point is that I think

this is the one

you guys have been

waiting on.

Really?

I showed it around

our union meeting last week,

and everybody,

everybody wanted one.

You show it

to your sister?

I did.

Yeah?

And?

She said no.

God!

And she's gonna' freak

when she finds out

what I've done,

but let her.

I'm going to pay for

the opening order.

That's your

retirement money.

I know, Matt, but I think

this is an opportunity.

Listen, Gina,

it's really...

Whoa, whoa, will

you shut up for a second?

Can't you see what she's

really trying to do here?

I mean, I can see it.

She's trying to get a

fresh start for you guys.

That's what it is, right?

Sam, this is business.

Oh.

Well, who cares?

I don't care.

Cut it.

I'm in!

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

So, the opening order,

plus $6400 additional

to pay Bean what you

owe him, and rehire him.

And he controls the checkbook.

Yes.

Of course.

Yeah, it's fine by me.

Okay.

The other thing is...

And?

I want one-third

of the profits.

The early-out bonus isn't

enough for a house,

and I'm not sure I'm

cut out for real estate.

Yeah.

That's fine with me.

A third?

Jesus!

What happens if you

guys get back together?

That's two-thirds!

I'm getting railroaded!

Still a third.

Okay, Gina.

You're shrewd, all right.

OK.

I'm thinking of a number here,

I'm gonna' throw it out there.

40-40-20.

How about it?

A third.

Think about it.

25. How about it?

Look at me. It's a good deal.

A third.

Thirty-three point

three, three, three.

All right, f*** it!

Who cares, man?

Let's do this!

There's enough money to

go around for all of us!

What the hell am I thinking?

Amen.

Right?

I mean, this is amazing!

I love you guys!

Okay, Dave, let

me set the scene for you.

All right.

You just

got home from work.

You're heading in the house,

and you head straight for the

refrigerator, open

the door, and...

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

This time...the only

reason you go to work in the

morning is to get to this

moment with the beer at night.

Yeah, baby.

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

That's it. That's good.

That's it.

Cool.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

Maybe try it with a

chuckle on the 'Oh, yeah!'

Okay, sure.

Take two,

Talking Beer Opener?

- Yep.

- Yep.

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

Yeah!

Hello?

Hi, it's me.

Hey-

Any word

on the container?

Yeah, they're

still stuck in customs.

I'll call the steamship

company tomorrow.

I don't imagine it'll be

more than a couple of days.

Also, this flyer should

go out tonight, so...

It's really

all happening.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Listen, I've got to go.

Louisa's here, so..

All right, bye.

Matt?

Uh-huh.

Well?

Well what?

Did you do what I said and

ask for your money back?

Louisa,

you don't listen!

I told you,

it's a done deal.

The container is

in Long Beach.

Next week, we're

introducing the opener

at the L.A. Gift Expo.

Uh, you're so naive.

What do you know

about business?

What did you know about

real estate when you started?

You're blind!

You've been with him eight

years, and what do you have?

You're going to end

UP With nothing!

No house, no job, no money!

Nothing!

This is my decision. Not Matt's,

not yours. Mine.

Stubborn!

This is gonna' bring us some

serious FU money, you guys.

You're damn right.

What's FU money?

F***-you money.

Wouldn't that be FY?

FY, Bean.

Who needs a hug?

Come here.

Yeah!

One hundred and

eighty-four cartons.

Five thousand openers.

Woo-hoo!!

Hey, guys, what's

a Talking Beer Opener?

Allow my

assistant to demonstrate.

International Gifts

presents.

What's it say?

The Talking Beer Opener.

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

Oh, that's pretty good!

I've never seen

that before, man!

But why didn't you guys use a

man's voice like,

"Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!"

Yeah, really?

Really??

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

Sh*t!

Checking them!

Damn it!

Check them! Check them!

Check them!

Alvin and the

f***ing Chipmunks!

Can't catch a break!

No, I tested them all.

They're all bad!

Listen to it!

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

Okay?

So I mean, what are we gonna'

do about this, Mr. Chow?

Well, you send the

defective ones back,

we'll check them out,

see what the problem is.

No, no, absolutely not.

You fix the problem

right now!

I need samples and stock

available right away

for the L.A. Gift Expo!

Let me talk to him.

Shut up!

Absolutely not!

You got to

get over there.

I can get you a pass.

Well, let's see what

the problem is.

Oh yeah!

Time for a beer!

We can put a

gold resistor here,

stabilize the recording rate.

Yes.

Put in a bigger speaker,

right?

Make it louder.

Great, great.

How quickly can we get,

say, 10 dozen?

Well, we can work hard.

Have it by tomorrow morning.

Huh, great!

Quality control,

sound testing,

100%.

No more problems.

That's excellent, Mr. Chow.

We... we're going to need

the rest of the order shipped

air freight at your expense,

so we can have openers in the store

right after the Expo.

The customer always

pays for the shipping.

Yes, but this was

your fault, Mr. Chow.

Well, maybe

some air freight.

We share the cost, yes?

I'll tell you, the

sooner my customers get these,

the sooner you get a reorder.

...Tsing-Tao!

What are they saying?

Uh, yes!

"Time for Tsing-Tao!"

China's most popular beer.

I see.

What time is it?

10 minutes to noon.
