Old Dogs
This walk is exactly
what you need.
You've been coiled up like a spring.
I don't even know who you are anymore.
It's a big meeting, I'd think
you'd be a little nervous.
I don't get nervous, Dan. I get excited.
Please don't tell the story.
You're a people person,
Charlie, that's wonderful,
but in business meetings you tell
personal items from my life,
- and it embarrasses me.
- Girls, girls, girls!
Hey! Ten miles!
I'm sorry, Lucky.
I think he's too old for sprints.
I can hear his legs clicking.
Those are my knees.
that story for my own amusement?
I do it because it's a sales tool.
Charlie, let's win this account
on our pitch.
It's sports marketing.
You need an edge.
- I don't want to be the edge.
- Hey, mister! Little help!
Sure thing, guys!
Whoa!
- Ow!
- Oh! Oh! Oh!
- Why did you do that?
- My bad! Sorry!
- I didn't mean to.
- You're a monster!
I'm sorry!
You're allergic to anything
under four feet. You're a mess.
- Promise you won't tell the story.
- Fine. I won't tell the story.
OK, you guys want to hear
the greatest Dan Rayburn story ever?
- No, don't.
- Please. Come on, Danny.
Dan's divorce had just come through
and his ex-wife had
left his heart in tatters.
And his bank account drained.
Tell them that.
That's good.
You're taking it like a man!
Stiff upper lip! Getting smart!
- What?
- Oh, God!
People say I saved
my partner's life that day.
So many people get divorced.
And neither one of you wanted kids.
Now that seems like a stroke of genius!
But that didn't console him.
I had to act. I had to do something.
Mr. Good Time is going to
teach you how to live! Yeah!
- Why are there two pieces of luggage?
- Oh, just a little jaunt.
Nothing too wild.
Hey, Mr. Good Times.
You said we'd come to Miami, we did.
Can we go home now?
Whoa!
- Whoa.
- Yeah!
Does this drink
come with a diving board?
It's insane! Just a sip, I think.
So as a best friend, I felt compelled
to give him a gentle reminder
of what it was like to be free.
- I want it to say: "free man!"
- Free man.
Big letters, right across his chest.
"Free man!" Comprende?
Oh. Good night, nurse.
I could have sworn
that guy spoke English.
It was supposed to say "free man."
Fremont, Fremont, Fremont...
Free man!
It's funny, guys.
Come on. They love it.
Then the unexpected happened.
Look at all the babes.
Don't look, don't look. Now look.
Fourteen hours after
signing his divorce papers,
Dan met Vicki, the girl of his dreams.
- Whoa!
- Whoa.
Girl in white,
eleven o'clock.
- Yeah, but...
- Oh, give her the Queen's wave.
- No, the other Queen.
- Oh. Hello.
She was traveling
with a friend.
was a magician or a jazz dancer,
because of the way
she was moving her hands.
Turns out she's a hand model.
- ... hand model.
- A hand model?
So, within minutes,
Dan is back to his old self.
No, scratch that.
He's better than his old self.
Charlie, look at these pictures!
My whole life I've never taken
a good picture.
No matter how
they toss the dice, it had to be
I'd never seen him
so free, OK?
I mean, so impulsive.
He was a changed man.
Or maybe not so changed.
It's hard to explain to a guy
who's never had an impulsive moment
in his life there's
two kinds of impulsives.
The good kind, OK,
but this is plain stupid!
That was so romantic.
But when he woke up, he remembered,
"I was just married 14 painful years
- and I've gone and done it again!"
- Whoops.
To a woman that
he barely knows. His "soul mate."
...soul mate.
- Soul mate!
Soul mate!
So, a few hours later,
my buddy here, my hombre,
is the only guy I know that's been
divorced twice in a 24-hour period.
Now, that's a true story.
Fremont! Fremont! Fremont!
- It was supposed to say "free man."
- But it didn't. It said "Fremont."
It's a big mistake.
It's on his chest forever.
I don't really think that story
honors the feelings I had for her.
No, I'm sorry.
Dan, people love that story.
So just get up there and do
your thing. Because I killed.
Banzai!
Ixnay on the banzai.
Nishamura Media Group
is a huge deal.
Now, I know you've met
with larger groups,
but I'm about to show you
why working with a boutique firm
run by two seasoned pros
is a smart move for you.
Forty-seven million dollars
over five years.
on your Japanese,
'cause you're going to Tokyo, baby!
Thank you. This is the kind of
opportunity I've been looking for.
And you will not be sorry.
In college my nickname was "GT."
- That's "Go To." You go to me.
- What's the matter with you?
Biggest deal of our lives
isn't exciting enough for you?
So it's a done deal now?
There are a few small details.
Like next week when Nishamura
and his son come to town
we have to win them over
on the golf course.
- That'll be easy.
- I'm great at golf.
Then, two weeks from now,
we have to make a presentation
- to their executive board of directors.
- Done.
All right, sunshine.
I was not divorced twice, OK?
One of them was an annulment.
- Look at that face!
- Charlie, don't!
Look at this, Craig.
You know what this face is?
- The face of a winner.
- This face is willing to hibernate
for six months to make the
best deal he could possibly make.
And I don't care who knows it. A toast
to my best buddy and business partner,
- Dan Rayburn! Whoo!
- Whoo!
Arigato!
It all comes down to this.
- I don't think so.
- Three, two, one.
This one's the shooter.
- Let's see it.
- Golden moment.
- Oh. Uh-oh!
- Oh, you're just sinkin' em.
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh.
Let's hit it. There you go.
- It's a leaking dog.
- Yeah.
That's a... That's a neat trick.
How old is that dog?
I lost count. Vet said it was a record.
You might want to put
a diaper on him, or underwear.
- Yo.
- Hey. Where you been?
Japanese real estate agents.
Some apartments for Craig-san.
Thank you. I just want to find
something authentic.
I've been getting so immersed
in Japanese culture,
by the time I hit Tokyo, they're
going to think I'm part Japanese.
They'll be like, "Who is this local?"
I don't care if you stay on the top
of Mount Fuji. Just bring home the yen.
- This can't be.
- What do you got?
- Vicki.
- Vicki who?
South Beach Vicki? She's in town.
- She wants to see me. Today.
- She just called you out of the blue?
- No.
- Dan? Dan?
You know last Christmas
when I moved in to the condo?
And maybe I wrote a seven-to-ten-page
single-spaced letter.
Oh, Dan.
You've been using your feelings
for this woman
to avoid your life for seven years.
I set you up in the most exclusive
adult-only condo.
You've never been to theme nights.
You never once went to the
