"No, that's so sweet." "No, thank you." "But we already have a house that, uh, has aluminum siding... that looks just like your house, except it's ever so much more beautiful." "It really shows the contrast of what a house can look like." " Well, how much does this cost?" " What?" " Uh, the..." " Oh, the aluminum siding?" "I don't know." "Do you know anything about the costs?" "No, but, uh, I think it's fairly reasonable." "Can't my house be the "after" picture in Life magazine?" "You could get another house for the "before."" "What do you mean?" "Oh, you mean, uh..." "Oh, you would like your house to be the "after" picture with aluminum siding?" "And then we would have to find another house... uh, to look like their house for the "before" picture." "Is that possible, hons?" "I don't know if we can manage this." " What do you say?" " I don't know." "It's kinda pushing it." "It's pushing it." "Look, what time does your husband get home?" "'Cause he'd have to go over the figures with the salesman."

"[Salesman] Before." "After." "You and your lovely wife might have been asking yourself," ""Exactly what are the benefits of aluminum siding?"" "It won't chip, peal, blister, crack, flake or rust in any way." "The only maintenance you'll ever have is to wash it down twice a year with a hose." "It affords much greater insulation, which means it cuts down on your heating bills." "I'll tell you what." "Only on this sale, I'll throw in a garden hose." " Let's do some business."

"[Music] That won't get you into his arms [music] [music][Continues, Indistinct] [music]" "Can I talk to you in private?" "Or do we have to talk over 14 pool tables?"

[music]" " Okay, we got enough goin' down between the two of us, I know, but, uh, the fact of the matter is, I love your wife, and I wanna marry her." "[Sighs]" "Well, I don't care who she marries, but I don't want her marrying' you." "You think we can discuss this in a nice, rational manner?" "Rational?" "You're gonna be rational?" "Look, I know we have a problem, but I'd like to try to isolate this one particular situation." "Isolate, huh?" "Isolate." "[Chuckling]" "Well, I like this kinda talk." "What the hell nonsense is that?" "[Chuckling] Well, what are you tryin' to gain from this thing here?" "Huh?" "Wait a second." "I gotta isolate that for a moment and think it over." "You know, nobody benefits from makin' me mad." "You oughta hear yourself, pal." "Huh?" "You know that?" "You oughta listen to the way you talk." "You come in." "You wanna take my wife." "You wanna isolate this situation." "You wanna be rational." "I got no tolerance for you, mister." "You know what I'm sayin'?" "So I gather what you're saying is that, uh, there's no use, uh, discussing this." "Is that it?" "You like pool?" "I enjoy the game." "Why don't we play a little game of eight ball?" "If I lose, I consent to the divorce." "If you lose, you give up Nora, walk away from her." "Rack 'em." " Hey, Wing." " Tilley." " Wasn't that the goof from the commission?" " Masters, yeah." " What the hell's he doin' hangin' around here?" " He wants some information." " I nailed his ass good." "Whoo!" " Yeah?" "He can't lay a finger on me." "Aw, you shoulda seen me." "I was respectful, courteous, but I was slippin' and slidin'." "They couldn't touch me." "[Laughing]" "Listen, Tilley, I got a real problem." "Why don't I buy you a drink?" "All right." "Hope it's not a big problem." "You're gonna sell me out to the commission?" "Wing, am I hearing' this right?" "I'm up front with you on this." "I'm up front with you on this, Tilley." "I got my balls in a vise." "What am I gonna do?" "Is this because of the money I owe you?" "I mean, are you just pissed?" "Tilley, this has got nothing to do with the money." "You're gonna sell me out?" "You're gonna let 'em bury me?" "Jesus Christ, Wing." "Jesus Christ." "I'm not gonna be able to work in this business?" "Wing, this is my chosen field." "Masters was gonna tear this company apart." "Now you're the low man on the totem pole." "There's a lotta guys makin' a good living." "There's no sense for the whole thing to go up in smoke." " You understand?" "It's just business." " Jesus Christ." "You're in for over two grand on the books." "I'll tell you what:" "I'll wipe the slate." "And here." "I'll give you a thou' 'til you get set up." "I can't do any better than that." "You sell me out for a lousy $3,000?" "$3,000 and I gotta go down the toilet?" "Jesus, Wing." "I mean, how long the two of us been bustin' our asses together, huh?" "We got a history in this relationship, for Christ's sake." "Masters comes along, puts a little squeeze on you and you sell me out." "$3,000." "The bottom line, Tilley, is this is just business." " [Sighing]" " Here." "It's another deuce." "I carried you for a long time, Tilley." "I've done a damn sight more than a lotta other guys woulda done for you." "And I don't see any gratitude from you." "You can finish up when you like." "I'm sorry, Tilley." "It's the way of the world." "[Sea Gulls Crying]" "[Nora] Bill, better hurry up." "Everything's ready." "I can't believe you're up so early." "This is a rare occasion." "Yeah." "I got some business I have to attend to downtown." "The toast'll be ready in a second if this thing is workin'." "I don't know." "Nora." " I lied to you the other day." " How so?" "I went to see Tilley about the divorce." "He wasn't very reasonable, and, uh, you know, one thing led to another, so... we decided finally to shoot some pool to decide the matter." " What?" " We decided to shoot some pool." "You know?" "If I won, he would give you up, and if I lost, I would give you up." "You shot pool for me?" "I had no choice." "That's the most despicable thing I've ever heard in my whole life." "I mean, that's disgusting, shootin' pool to determine my future!" "Nora, I had no choice." "The toast is ready." "Get it yourself." "Hey, I'm only tryin' to be honest, you know?" "I'm tryin' to tell you what's on my mind and what's on my, eh, conscience." "You know." "Which one of these things is yours?" "Oh, well, why don't you eat both of'em?" "Maybe you can choke to death on one of'em." "How can you be so..." "How can you not understand how wrong that..." "I don't understand this mentality." "I mean, shootin' pool for me!" "It's insane." "It's nuts." "Look, Tilley is not the most rational guy in the world." "You know what I mean?" "I tried talking to him, and he wouldn't listen to me." "So what are my options?" "I'm asking you." "Huh?" "What are my options?" "I can't believe you had to shoot pool for me." "I mean, do you understand how crazy that is?" "Look at you." "You're eatin' eggs." "You're eatin' eggs... like you're... casually..." "like it's normal business and life here, you know?" "Like some feudal lord or somethin' you read about in history." "All right." "All right." "I'm sorry." "What happened?" " I lost." "I blew the eight ball." " You lost?" "You lost?" " Yeah." " What does that mean, "You lost"?" "It means I'm supposed to give you up." "I'm supposed to never see you again." "Will you stop eating your eggs for a minute?" "How can you tell me things like this and casually eat your eggs?" "What does this mean, Bill?" "It means I'm supposed to never see you again, to honor my part of that agreement." "But I'm not that honorable a guy." "I gotta go." "Whoa, wait a minute." "Where are you goin' so fast here?" "[Coughs] I told ya." "I got some business downtown." "Wanna have some dinner tonight?" "Remember what we planned?" "Yeah." " [Chattering] - [Man Coughs]" "You gotta testify, huh?" " [Clears Throat]" " You?" "Yeah." "Got a lawyer?" "Nah." "I already testified once." "Beat 'em before." "I'll beat 'em again." "You got a high-priced mouthpiece to speak for you?" "No, I don't need one." "I don't expect to win." "How so?" "I gave 'em some pretty incriminating evidence." "You gave them evidence?" "Yeah, it was the only way I could think of to get outta this business." "[Laughing]" "That's a good one." "Yeah." "[Chuckling]" "So how's Nora?" "She's doin' okay." "[Masters] Ernest Tilley?" "Please come forward." "Take good care of her." "[Masters] Was it the heat of the sales pitch on September..." "August 17 of this year... that made you write across a contract, "This job is free"?" "As I remember, uh, no sale was made concerning those customers." "The deal fell out because a loan couldn't be arranged, but the people did agree in principle." "The point we'd like to stress is that you misled these people." "You told them the job was free." "Then you send in your closer with some cover story... about how you'd suffered a nervous breakdown." "The sale is ultimately made for $2,377." "I don't know." "It just came over me." "It might've been somethin' I ate." "We have other specific examples of deceptive sales practices on your behalf... concerning a job carried out by you on December 11, 1962." "You violated sections 241, 247." "October 9, 1962, violations of 251, 257 took place." "What are all these numbers?" "I mean, I'm not aware of all these section violations." "It is the feeling of this commission that these violations are severe infractions... of the home improvement laws and therefore constitute a misuse... of the license to sell aluminum siding as approved by the state." "It's the decision of this commission to revoke your license... to sell aluminum siding, to prohibit you from practicing in the state of Maryland." "Are you sure?" "I mean, maybe you guys wanna talk this over?" "Thank you, Mr. Tilley." "That'll be all." "You may hand in your, uh, license... to the clerk of the commission on your way out." "Who's next?" "[Whispers] Shit." "[Masters] William Babowsky, please come forward." "Mr. William Babowsky, please come forward." "You have a right to have a lawyer present if you so wish." "I do not wish." " Hey, mister?" " Yeah?" "Have a car parked right there?" " Yeah." "What about it?" " A man came and took it." " Who took it?" " Tax man." "Tax man." "How do you know it was a tax man?" "He gave me a dollar to tell you so." "Fuckin' I.R.S. How low can you get?" "How..." "How fuckin' low can you get?" "I mean, what kind of people take a man's car?" "Sorry about your license." "Yeah." "You?" "Sorry to hear it." "What are you doin' standin' there?" " It's where my car used to be." " Stolen?" "I.R.S. The bandits." " You need a ride?" " I could use one." " Some bullshit commission, huh?" " Yeah." "Tell me." "Where's it written in the constitution where it says a man can't hustle for money?" "Huh?" "Where's it written?" "I mean, it's not like I went into an alley, got a brick and whacked the guy over the head with it." "You'd think I went into somebody's house and stole his stuff." "I mean, all I'm doin' is sellin'." "Where's the crime in that?" " Yeah, I don't know what the country's comin' to." " You're tellin' me?" "I don't know what the country's comin' to." "Wanna know what our big crime is?" "We're nickel-and-dime guys." "Just small-time hustlers." "We got caught because we were hustling nickels and dimes." "Nickels and dimes." "You got a good point there, BB." "You're right on the money with that kind of thinkin'." "Nickels and dimes." " [Horn Honking]" " Hmm." "[Honking Continues]" "[Tilley Grumbling] Nickels and dimes." "Nickels and dimes." "We gotta start thinkin' about a new business to get into." "New?" "[Chuckles] It's very hard to find somethin' new to get into." " [Sighs]" " Maybe." "Maybe not." "Yeah." "I'll put on my thinking cap." "I'll come up with somethin' new." "Believe me, it's just a matter of time." " We'll think of somethin'." " A matter of time." "We'll get it." "Hey, did you hear, uh, rumor has it there's a whole new Cadillac comin' out." " What?" " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "They're gonna redo all the fins..." " You're kiddin'." "New lines thing?" " I hear it's a real beaut." " Ooh." " Yeah." "This is what a guy told me." "Ooh, maybe I should put in my order right away." "Those things are gonna go like hotcakes." " Whoo." " What are you talking about?" "You don't got a pot to piss in." "You give me the pot, I'll fill it." "[Laughing]" " I got an idea." "What?" " I got an idea." "What?" " [Tilley] What were you gonna say?" " [BB] No, you go first." " Go on." " No, no, you go first." "I'm thinking." " What was your idea?" " Hey, you're a guest." "What is it?" " Oh, I'm a guest." "I got an idea, but if you..." " No, no, tell me, uh, what your idea was, and then I'll tell you mine." " I want..." "Well, what is it?" " This is irritating." "Please." " Just go ahead and tell me." "Just go right ahead." " Well, I wanna hear your..." " Everything." " All right, I'll tell you what." "We'll flip a coin for it."
