"It's... it's just one of nature's hazards, I guess." "God probably thought, since he made guys stronger than girls, just to make it fair, he added a secret way for them to hurt us."

"I'm gonna be flushing you..." " Yes." "Right down the drain." "I absolutely understand what you're saying." "Are we gonna have Grandma's cake now?" "Not yet." "Yeah, we're gonna wait on Daddy."

"[Laughter]" "Okay, look, we can't all pretend like nothing's going on, so let me just put this to rest." "I am okay with Owen leaving my store." "I know you got this idea that you got to be your own man, and I..." "I respect that." "Thanks, Daddy." "That means a lot." "Heard you're really tearing them up over there." "Oh, can't complain." "Yeah, I know how that is." "Kind of reminds me of my NBA days... there'd be this end-of-the-bench guy, gets traded, next time he comes through town, he lights us up for 35 points." "Hmm." "Spite can be a powerful motivator." "I'm not doing this to spite you." "Come on, son, you're at Scarpulla, the only other Chevy dealer in the zip code." "You tell me that's not spite working." "Daddy, of course I'm at a Chevy dealership." "That's what I know how to sell." " Sure, now." " Yeah, now." "Now that I found a place to work where I can actually enjoy myself, yeah." "Oh, so you're enjoying yourself over there now, is that it?" "Daddy, I'm loving every minute of it." "Still packing it away, I see." "Let me tell you something, old man."

"Yeah, l-I'm not gonna be able to make, um... all that." "Oh, honey, come on." "I can't be doing a 5-hour block of baseball by myself with the baby and the boys all wired on juice boxes and then trying to find some lunch." "Come on, no." "L-I'm sorry." "I mean, look, I'm the new guy." "I can't start off asking for Saturdays off right away." "You know, I..." "Well... and you're happy there, right?" "Okay, I might have, um, e-embellished a little bit in front of my father, but if I'm gonna be stuck selling cars, yeah, I'd rather be at Scarpulla." " Really?" " Mm-hmm." "You'd rather be at the place where you have to work your way from the bottom, miss baseball and all sorts of family stuff..." " Okay, what are you trying to say?" " Well..." "You're agreeing with him that I'm doing this out of spite?" "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "I am agreeing with someone I always disagree with." "Doesn't that tell you something?" "Uh, yeah, that you're both wrong, right?" "The Scarpulla job is just better." "Right?" "First of all, I like the boss." "The boss that wouldn't let you go home for your mother's birthday?" "You're wrong." "And... and... and... and I'll be at the damn baseball." "Good." "Wow." "This stupid... [door opens] Jingle, jingle." "Oh, hey, Elissa." "Hello." "Wanted to give you back the keys to the kingdom." "How'd it go with Bobby Nyland?" "Was it awesome?" "TERRY:" "It was awesome, till I came home and found my apartment padlocked." "Oh, yeah, what was going on there?" "You didn't do what I asked you to do." "That's what was going on there." "The whole plumbing system fell apart." "Oh." "Damn it." "Oh." "That was a mess, by the way." "I had poopy in my shower." "I did do the drano thing a couple times." "But then this guy I know, Matthew, this writer guy... he was shooting this webisode, and one of his actors spaced, so he asked me to fill in." "Then they had no clue what they were doing." "It was a nightmare." "Ugh!" "It sucks so hard being an actor." "[Sighs]" "Anyway, I got back in." "That's cool." "Where's, uh, your girlfriend?" "Oh, yeah, looks like we're taking a break." "Oh." "I have been there." "Remind me to tell you about Lance sometime." "No, I did..." "I did press "okay,"" "you stupid piece of shit." "Do you have any pot?" "Tomorrow, I'm gonna take you to my favorite brunch place." "It's like a '50s-diner place, but the waiters all play different characters." "It sounds stupid, but I swear it's fun." "[Sighs]" "Do you want to do it again?" "I'm pretty sleepy." "Not me." "[Giggles]" "Ohh, shit." "Shit!" "Damn it!" "Everything okay?" "[Sighs] Yeah." "Yeah, go." "Hey, Carlos, can you come here for a second?" "Listen, um..." "Um..." "Maria, could you come here for a second?" "Yeah." "Can you just... just translate something for me?" "Sure." "Yeah, just tell him..." "uh, tell Carlos... uh, just tell him that, right now, things are really tough around here, and we... we have to make some changes." "Are you firing him?" "Just please..." "just tell him that, please." "[Speaking Spanish]" "Oh." "Right, and now, um, tell him that starting next week, I have to, uh..." "I have to lay him off." "But I will try to hire him back as soon as I can." "[Speaking Spanish]" "JOE:" "Yeah." "That... you told him that" "I'll try to get him back, right, as soon as I can?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Carlos, I'm sorry." "I'm really..." "I'm sorry." "Can you tell him..." "tell him that I'm really sorry?" " I don't think he understands." " It's okay." "Thank you for..." "every day." "Okay, thank you." "Thank you, Carlos." "Why don't you take lunch now?" "[Groans]" "What's up, Buttercup?" "Hey." "Hey, uh, you hungry?" "No, coffee." "Coffee." "That's what we need, coffee." "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna run out." "Uh, you..." "you want something?" "Uh, half-caf skinny chai latte, please." "Oh, hey, what's your cell?" "I'll put it in my phone." "Uh, you know, that..." "that... that's funny." "I just got mine yesterday, so I don't even know the number." " Oh." " But, you know, I mean, you just live on the other side of the courtyard." "That's right." "Uh-oh." "[Giggling]" "[Sighs]" "Jeremy!" "[Clears throat]" "Hi." "Hey, look who's back." "What can I get you?" "Actually, just a large black coffee, and I also need a half-caf, skinny... just a large black coffee." "Uh, it's funny." "You know, I just..." "just got back into town, and I'm kind of in a..." "just keep the change... a daze, and, you know, I totally forgot that you would..." "I mean, I knew that you would be here." "Look, I'm..." "I know that we ended badly." "And I'm..." "I'm sorry about that." "But, you know, we never..." "I mean, I guess we..." "we really... um... um..." "If it's any consolation, the movie went really well, and I'm gonna be working with Bobby again." "So I..." "[sighs]" "Uh..." "And hey, look at this." "I got a cellphone." "Great." "So, um, I just... just hope that we can still be f-friends." "Dick!" " I just..." " Large black coffee for Dick!" "That's yours." "Dick!" "Yeah, th-thanks." "That's... that's mine."

"Yes, sir, we got all kind of piñatas. 9:00." "Maybe... maybe you should answer the phones." "Sure." "All right, forget it." "Guys, listen." "I didn't want to fire Carlos." "Sometimes, you know, when you're the boss, you got to make unpopular decisions." "You know... you know, I hate to say it, but part of the reason you guys even have a job still is 'cause Carlos doesn't, okay?" "That's capitalism." "Yeah, that sucks, right, but you got a better idea?" "Oh, hey." "Hi." "Sorry to pop by like this, but you're picking Albert up after golf practice tomorrow, so I packed some of his stuff for the weekend." "Oh, all right." "Great." "We need to talk." "All right." "[Sighs]" "So, Albert told me your bookie stopped by when he was over." "Really, seriously, that's what you're coming all the way over here for?" "Don't lie to me, Joe." "This isn't about you." "This is about Albert." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I know." "And... and, yes, that was my bookie, because I was paying off the last of my debt, like I told you." "I'm through with all that crap." "Really?" "Yeah, really." "Yeah, and by the way, how does Albert even learn "bookie"?" "Did you tell him about the gambling thing, because I thought we said we weren't gonna involve the kids in any of that?" "I didn't tell him anything, but he's not a baby." "I'm sure he's figured it out." "Yeah, yeah, well, I'm sure..." "Look, look, the whole point of you buying that house was to help Albert get over his anxiety issues." "And we had a great weekend!" "Until your bookie showed up!" "That was a one-time thing!" "It better be, because if you're gonna have those kind of people hanging around your house, then we're gonna have a serious talk about the whole visitation arrangement." "Now, wait..." "wait a minute!" "That... if... if I knew the guy was coming over when Albert was there, you think I would've let him come over?" "Oh, so it was a surprise visit from the one-time-only guy who you then paid off for good?" "That's the end of it, Sonia, okay?" "That's the end of it, so don't..." "You really think you're fooling everybody." "You're not."

"What's up, Tea Bag?" "TERRY:" "I'll make it quick." "I just had a thought." "You know, what if..." "what if I came up there and helped you guys rewrite that script?" "Oh, right." "TERRY:" "Yeah, you know," "I've been going over the draft that you gave me, and I come up with a bunch of great ideas" " and made some notes and..." " You know what?" "The guy that we have on this is good, man." "I really... he's just done a lot of good shit." "And we already paid the dude, you know what I mean?" "Yeah, okay, well, you know, just... just gave it a shot." "BOBBY:" "Yeah." "You know what, Tea Bag?" "Since I got you on the phone, my accountant just called today, uh, you know what I mean?" "And, well, apparently I am spending way too much freakin' money." "And they want me to reel it way in if I don't want to be pulling an MC Hammer, right?" "So they... yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be able to bring you in on this next thing like I thought, you know?" "Sorry... and besides," "Dex, you know... he told me that he's gonna step up and actually, you know, do the stuff that you were doing, so you'd be kind of redundant, you know what I mean?" "But believe me," "I will do everything I can to bring you in on this." "It's just not gonna be this one, all right?" "Future, who knows, right?" "Right, dawg?" "Yeah, dawg." "BOBBY:" "All right, you take it easy, buddy, all right?" "I got to..." "I got to go." "Yeah, dawg." "[Water gurgling]" "Oh, no." "No." "No, no." "No, no, no, no." "No, no."

"No, no, no, you will always and forever be the chief." "But listen, I have a couple of ideas" "I'd like to bounce off you, if it's okay." "Shoot." "All right." "All right, hey." "So, um, I was thinking we need a few more bullets in the gun for the sales team, you know, incentives and whatnot, to entice new customers and get some things going on the service side." "So, what if we start providing free car wash and auto detailing during scheduled service appointments, you know, but really mean it." "You know how most shops promise free detailing, but they never freakin' deliver." "I'm saying we do it... uh, because, as you know, customer satisfaction on the service side leads to customer satisfaction on the sales side." "It's fine, son." "I'll consider that, mm-hmm." "Okay." "Okay, um..." "I actually have a few more ideas." "That's... that's fine." "Yeah." "O-okay, when you have time." "Yeah." "Thank you." "[Sighs]" "Tell you something... this whole place is gonna keep going right into the crapper unless that old fart steps out of my way and lets me do my thing." "What is your thing?" "Know what my thing is?" "You're fired." "So why don't you pack up all your little midget belongings and get out?" "Anybody else?" "[Sighs]" "Really?" "Hey, I'll get us some popcorn." "What do you want?" "You want a soda?" "Yeah, I'll take orange, but, here, I'll come with you." "No, no, you got to save the seats." "I'll be right back, all right?" "Oh, and butter." "Butter." "Right." "[Sighs]" "[Sighs]" "Hey." "Hey, it's me." "All right, I got to do this quick." "Give me, um... give me Chicago and the over for $500." "Yeah." "No, no, yeah, and then..." "What?" "Are you there?" "You're breaking up." "Oh, shit." "[Sighs]" "Yeah, yeah." "No, I lost you." "All right, Chicago over, $500." "You got that?" "Give me, um..." "give me Atlanta," "$500, with the points." "Yeah." "What's the over-under on Miami?" "Give me the under." "Give me $2,500 on the under." "Yeah, $20... no, $2,500, yeah." "All right, I got to go." "I'm at a movie." "Well, I don't know." "I haven't seen it yet." "All right, I'll see you later." "Whoa." "Um, ticket?" "My... my ticket's inside." "I'm already inside." "I'm sorry." "I can't let you in without a ticket." "I bought two tic..." "I'm sorry, but I can't let you in." "[Sighs]" "WOMAN:" "Hi." "All right, thanks." "[Sighs]" "[Breathing heavily]" "Hey, Albert, what's up, buddy?" "Where were you?" "You were gone for so long, I started to get shaky, you know?" "Oh, I'm..." "I'm sorry." "They... they were out of the popcorn." "Listen, I'm here." "Let's go." "It's..." "it's all good, right?" "Dad, I don't feel like it, Dad." "Can we just go home?" "I just want to go home, please?" "If you want, but, I mean, we should try, maybe." "I'm sorry, Dad." "I really wanted to see that movie." "Ah, it's okay, Albert." "You know." "We talked about this." "It's... it's just anxiety." "Happens to everybody." "I tried the breathing thing, you know." "L-I got shaky, and I tried the breathing thing." "It's all right." "It's no big deal, Albert." "Come on, we'll go see that movie any day, any time you want." "[Voice breaking] Are you embarrassed of me?" "What?" "No." "No." "Embarrassed?" "Albert, I..." "I couldn't..." "I told you this happens to a lot of people." "No, it doesn't." "It's weird, and I'm weird." "And I know I cause a lot of trouble for you, and..." "No, Albert." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Oh, son of a bitch." "[Sighs]" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm just mad." "I'm mad at the damn..." "Popcorn." "And I'm mad." "I'm mad you got to go through this." "And it's... it's not fair." "Embarrassed?" "No, man, no, never." "I'm never embarrassed, Albert." "You're my hero." "I mean that." "You're doing great, man." "I'm proud of you." "Thanks, dad." "Yeah." "Taking a break, huh?" "Yeah." "Yeah, forever, actually." "I should have known something was up when you asked me to come over in the morning, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I guess so." "Well, good for you, Joe." "You know, I got guys quitting every week, and they're always full of shit." "But you, Joe..." "you may actually have a shot." "Well, thanks." "Probably not." "You'll probably be back." "But just the fact that I think you got a shot... that's a huge compliment." "All right, well, thanks, man." "Listen, I got to..." "I'm meeting a guy." "You got my number, right?" "Don't throw it out." " Yeah, I'm not gonna, like..." " No, no, no, no." "Not for gambling, Joe, for who knows?" "Golf, Chinese food, take a stripper to the circus... who knows?" "[Chuckles]" "Yeah, I got your number." "Stay weird, Joe." "JOE:" "Hey, uh, why don't you go out..." "got to go out that way." "Yeah." "Yeah." "[Sighs]" "Hello there, sir." "Hello, sir." "Buenos días." "Yeah, good to have you back." "Here you go." " Saved that for you." " Gracias." "PATRICK:" "If Kobe keeps playing the way he's playing for the rest of his career, he's gonna end up ahead of Jordan." "OWEN:" "Well, nobody's better than Jordan." "That's just something that's stuck in everybody's head." "I mean..." "SALESMAN:" "Is that your dad?" "Daddy?" "How about a test drive, son?" "Aren't you gonna tell me about the Malibu's impressive fuel economy?" "OWEN:" "Well, I was gonna drive past a few imports and point out how it beats each one." "Then I'd throw in how it beats them on the warranty, too." "Yeah, I guess you could do it that way." "[Chuckles] What are we doing here, Daddy?" "[Sighs]" "I'd like to offer you a job, son." "Um, that's fine, but I've found a home here at Scarpulla." "You really can't blame me for handing the reins over to Marcus." "Let's not pretend you've always been this motivated." "Okay." "Yeah." "That's fair, okay?" "Mm-hmm." "I haven't always put 110% into the job." "Good." "And there's a simple reason for that, and you know what it is." "No, no." "I always had my own dream." "And that's nothing against you." "That's just my own thing." "But it shouldn't be that hard to understand because..." "You got yours." "As a matter of fact, you got it twice... the NBA, then the dealership." "So, look, I wanted my own dream, and I ended up inside one of yours." "So, at some point, having to settle for being the boss' son... it just..." "But could you settle for being the boss?" "Uh, possibly." "Don't mull over this too long." "I'm interested." "Um, I'm interested." " But, um, I got to ask." " Mm-hmm?" "Why?" "Now, don't get me wrong." "Marcus is a winner." "But having him there in the office, me running things together with him..." "Look, that's just not how I pictured it." "Okay." "Good." "What are you gonna do about Marcus?" "Hell, that's the boss' problem."

"Anyway, these quotes came up, and it was all different people, you know, and there was this one from this Pastor Allan Chalmers guy." "I don't know." "It just kind of stuck with me." "Here's what it was." "He said, um, the grand essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love, something to hope for." "How do you whack off to that?"
