More of the same?
When you cough up some cash,
we can talk, OK?
lt was always for free.
Well, not anymore.
We got new guys
running the show now...
and they believe in the good,
Christian habit of sharing.
How much are you talking about?
l'll need a few days.
Take your time.
What the f*** am l doing here?
Oh, God.
Attention.
This is your employer speaking.
Most of you have been
with McDowell lndustries...
a good many years.
l put a strong proposition
to Coca-Cola.
Now they are coming to me.
Lunchtime!
The drink that answers
the call of millions.
Refreshment time!
lt's a pleasure to see you.
Likewise.
l have brought you a new fleet.
-l can't afford it.
-No problem.
You've got a ten-year loan...
with payments starting
three years from now.
But it says ''Coca-Cola''
on the trucks.
Yes, sir.
Congratulations.
You've got the franchise
for Anderson Valley.
lt takes two to tango, kid.
l took it for granted
you could dance.
A beauty. Thirty-aught-thirty.
Winchester, l believe.
Under the scheme we propose...
you will triple your profit
in the first year alone.
l don't need so much.
l wouldn't like to mention
the unpleasant possibilities...
such as...
someone could buy up
all your glass.
l'll stay in business
until my last bottle breaks...
then l'll make my own glass.
Well, someone could--
and believe me, sir,
someone would--
buy up your entire sugar supply.
l'll grow my own sugar.
Why do you want to break
my balls, T. George?
Do you know the shortest speech
in the world?
No, sir. Tell me.
''lf it is to be, it's up to me.''
That's nice.
T. George. your trucks
are falling apart.
But the children love them.
And they also like to see...
my picture on our cars,
our trucks, and our outlets.
And would you be so kind...
as to remove your vehicles
from my factory?
Get out of here!
Go on!
Come on, mate.
Going home, eh? Be seeing ya!
l'll ask you one last time.
Do you want the franchise...
or do you want the fight?
l want to take you
to our Rotary dance.
l insisted on him
coming here today...
to show him
that we are Rotarians first...
and competitors second.
Fellowship comes above profit.
Welcome to Anderson Valley.
Thank you.
People of Anderson Valley...
fellowship does come
above profit, indeed.
Those are stirring words.
We at Coca-Cola have extended
our hand in friendship...
but Mr. McDowell
Well, so be it.
Coca-Cola is proud
to be part of life...
in this free country.
Every day, Coca-Cola
makes new friends in new places.
Anyone for a drink?
Do you know that we have
already received applications...
for bottling franchises
on the moon?
But still, the earth
will not be truly free...
until Coke
is available everywhere.
Try a Coke.
My new, dear friends
of Anderson Valley...
to join us
in worldwide fellowship.
Thank you very much.
My boy,
a very impressive dissertation.
l haven't heard
speechifying like that...
since the St. Louis
Rotary convention.
Hit it, Charlie.
l've got a Coca-Cola
for you
Drink it all up
-Coke for you, sir?
-Not in front of T. George.
Once a jolly swagman
camped by a billabong
Under the shade
of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he sat
And waited till
his billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Waltzing, Matilda
Matilda, my darlin'
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Waltzing, Matilda
Leading a water bag
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Along came a jumbuck and he
drank from the billabong
l've had a change of heart.
l'd like to talk to you about
this proposition of yours.
Anytime.
How about midnight
at the factory?
That would be lovely.
Good. Then it's settled.
Waltzing, Matilda,
Matilda, my darlin'
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Waltzing, Matilda
Leading a water bag
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Down came the squatter
mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers,
one, two, three
Who's that jolly jumbuck
you've got in your tuckerbag
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Waltzing, Matilda
Matilda, my darlin'
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Waltzing, Matilda
Leading a water bag
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Up jumped the swagman,
and he lept into the billabong
said he
And his ghost will be heard
as you pass by the billabong
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
Jesus Christ!
What kept you so long?
What the hell
are you doing here?
l was tired.
''l was tired.''
What the hell
are you doing here?
Well, when you asked
for volunteers to be Santas...
l volunteered.
Who allowed you to volunteer?
l thought it was a chance
to pay the old town a visit.
OK, listen.
l did a semester
of hotel-motel management.
And hotels and motels
are supposed to have...
See, first, the customer
must feel that no one...
has been in the room
before them.
like they're walking...
into a hygienic
and virginal space.
-And second--
-Let's go to bed.
Wait a minute.
And second--
and this is the most important--
no one--
that is absolutely no one--
should be allowed in the room
in the customer's absence.
lt is to be treated
as one's sanctuary.
But it seems so logical
you and l should go to bed.
Look, honey,
you know what l mean.
lt is getting very late.
You're making this hard.
l hope so.
Jesus Christ, woman!
Do not start undressing here.
Put the boot back on.
Let's not be childish.
Put the boot back on.
lf we got sex out of the way,
we could relax.
l have to tell you something
about T. George.
God damn it!
T. George!
l was supposed
to meet him an hour ago.
He'll be gone by now.
You can see him in the morning.
l guess you're right.
l just didn't want him
to change his mind, is all.
He'd never do that.
l'll be kind of sorry
to see him go.
l mean,
he's a stubborn old bastard...
but he runs one hell
of a smooth operation.
He was married
to a Coca-Cola poster girl.
Did you know that?
She couldn't take it here,
so she killed herself.
Must have been tough
on the old bastard.
Shut up.
Kiss me.
Where is he?
Who, sir?
Who do you think l mean,
Father Christmas?
Actually, l've got six staying
here at the moment, sir.
l'm talking about
that kid from Coca-Cola.
He's in the regal suite
around the corner, sir.
Who is it?
lt's T. George McDowell!
Good morning, Mr. Becker--
l mean, Mr. McDowell.
A few too many at the dance, eh?
Yes, sir.
And, as you can see...
the place is a bit of a mess.
You'd probably be
much more comfortable...
waiting in the lobby, sir.
You didn't come last night.
Come, sir?
Our appointment.
l waited all night.
My apology. See, well...
to tell you the truth, sir,
l have company.
l beg your pardon?
l have company.
Well, in that case, l'll...
My God, Terri!
