"But if you made it a door, you could go right out," "And then you could just right there to the kitchen." "What a great floor plan." "Eat, swim." "Eat, swim." "We just love the big yard." "Yeah." "I want our kids outside." "I heard the property values in this neighborhood barely moved." "Well, that's because the school down the street" "Is unbelievable." "Mm." "It'll save us 20 grand a year on private schools." "And with four kids, I mean, that's 80 grand." "And no TV until he or she is at least 2." "Although that wall is a great place for a flat-screen." "You think?" "Yeah." "'cause I think that wall might be better." "Either wall." "Well, this has got to be the master, huh?" "Oh, fantastic." "You know, guys, ever since we found out we were pregnant," "I've been pulling for twins." "I'm not having twins." "But they do run in her family." "[ laughs ]" "(Terry) Come on, let's go."

"All right." "Bye." "Good luck." "[ chuckles ]" "Okay, I think that's the last of them." "I could really use a cold beer." "Yeah, beer sounds good." "[ wind chimes tinkling ]" "And Jimmy." "Fernando." "[ chuckling ]" "(Bruce) All right." "Listen up, everybody." "We got a change at the leaderboard." "For the first time this year," "Marcus is not the Salesman of the Month." "That distinction goes to Owen Junior!" "[ cheers and applause ]" "Hey, what does second place taste like?" "Is it bittersweet or just bitter?" "This is bullshit!" "Okay?" "I could have 300 sales each month if I let every customer walk all over me." "Just bitter." "[ man chuckles ]" "(Bruce) Come on over here, Owen." "Thank you very much." "You're welcome." "[ laughs ]" "I'm not gonna lie." "This feels real good." "Um [chuckles]" "I realize some of you might be little puzzled, or even perturbed, by the method by which I was able to achieve such a...great turnover." "Yeah, 'cause it wasn't turnover." "It was "bend over."" "[ salesmen "ooh" ]" "That's fine." "That's fine." "That's fine." "I mean, you got your way, I got mine." "Of course, my way happened to catapult me into first place," "But, uh, anyway..." "[ laughs ]" "Seriously, though," "We always talk about listening to the customers, but this month, I felt like I actually was." "So, yeah, I feel good." "'cause, uh, I'm a car salesman, damn it." "And, um, I make people happy." "[ applause ]" "Probably took a little hit, but... [ chuckling ] so..." "Yeah, um..." "Took a little hit." "Um, but that's -- that's -- that's to be expected." "Um, money can't buy happiness." "[ scoffs ] with that sorry-ass check, you can't even buy dinner." "[ chuckles ]" "All right, let's take a little picture for the wall." "Salesman of the Month." "[ applause ] [ camera shutter clicks ]" "Hey." "Coach Ford?" "Yes, sir." "Are you, uh, Albert's dad?" "I am." "I am." "Where is he?" "I can't get on the bus." "[ humming ] [ chuckles ]" "Ba!" "Here you go." "There you go." "Thank you." "Yo!" "That's the ticket right there." "Mm-hmm." "[ sighs ]" "So what is the good word?" "Well, my realtor called." "I think we're gonna get a couple offers." "Yay." "Looks like we're finally gonna sell this damn house after all." "Congrats." "That's great." "Mm." "Maybe the missus will finally get off my back and onto her back," "If you know what I'm saying." "You're such a pig, Dave." "[ chuckling ] Don't tell her I said that." "By the way, we had a couple of hot-dog packs left over." "So..." "The Oscar Mayer goes to... my man Terry." "Okay." "Thanks!" "Erika?" "No, thank you." "Thank you very much." "[ cellphone rings ] [ muttering ]" "God." "[ beeps ]" "Hearnsie!" "You sick son of a bitch!" "You sent that filth to the e-mail I share with my wife!" "Use the hotmail account, man." "Well, that was fun." "And we did some pretty good acting," "If I do say so myself." "Mm." "Sadly, some of the best acting -- or, actually, the only acting -- that I've done in a long time." "Well, too bad there weren't cameras around." "[ chuckling ] yeah, too bad." "So, you kind of got baby on the brain, huh?" "Who, me?" "Yeah." "That's just acting." "[ chuckles ]" "The kind of acting that wins you a pack of franks." "[ chuckles ] uh-huh." "Well, here's to our happy family." "Let's see -- Thomas, Isabelle," "The twins -- Joseph and James..." "Uh, Taesha " "Now, you threw me on that one." "Just trying to keep you on your toes." "And the other 40 or 50." "[ bottles clink ]" "Mm." "So, you know, I was gonna go grab some Thai food." "There's a great restaurant on, uh, Westwood." "They make this wicked green curry." "Figured since we're already husband and wife," "We should probably get to know each other a little bit more, huh?" "Oh, hey, you made it just in time." "I think the owner's getting ready to close up shop." "This is kind of awkward." "My "husband"..." "Meeting my boyfriend." "Uh... [ laughs ] [ chuckles ]" "Terry, this is Ken." "Ken, this is Terry." "Yeah, right, your "husband." right." "Hey, man." "How you doing?" "Ready?" "Yeah, yeah." "So, I hope to see you soon." "Maybe at a real acting gig." "Bye, Terry." "See you, Ken!" "[ chuckles ]" "I don't know, dad." "I just don't want to get on it." "I can't explain it." "You're sure it's nothing to do with a bully?" "On the golf team?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "Is it about -- is it a girl?" "Is there some guy on the bus" "That's going out with a girl you like or something?" "No, dad." "Does it have anything to do with a boy " "Boy on the golf team?" "Yeah, maybe in the locker room," "And you just -- you felt something different." "Okay, forget it." "Forget it." "Forget it." "Maybe I just shouldn't be on the stupid Golf team!" "No, no." "No, no, no." "Cone on, Albert." "This is no big deal." "Okay?" "I get weird feelings all the time." "The other day, I-I-I couldn't stop noticing my nose." "Everywhere I looked in my eyesight," "I saw my nose." "You know what I mean?" "Not really." "How about this?" "You ever get this?" "Sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe." "Swear to God." "It's nuts." "I..." "I'm -- I'm in a situation," "And maybe it's a little bit uncomfortable," "And -- and it's like -- I don't even realize " "I start holding my breath." "I do that, too." "Really?" "Yeah." "Whenever I get shaky." "Shaky?" "Sometimes..." "Sometimes I kind of get this shaky feeling," "But it's, like, on the inside." "Yeah, Albert, that's, uh, that's anxiety." "That's all that is." "I mean, that's " " I know what you're talking about." "That's -- that's all right." "That's -- that happens." "Yeah." "I guess that's why I don't want to get on the bus." "What if that happens when I'm on there?" "Hey, hey." "Remember the mind's-eye thing?" "Yeah." "It totally worked." "Damn right it totally worked." "(Coach Ford) Hey." "Okay." "We really got to get going." "Yeah." "What if I follow the bus in my car?" "Okay?" "So..." "You -- you get on the bus," "And -- and you do the mind's-eye thing." "It's the same idea like in golf." "Get on the bus," "And -- and if you feel like you're getting shaky," "You know, you just close your eyes," "And -- and you visualize" "That you're in the car with me." "You realize you're really in the car with me." "This isn't your mind's eye, right?" "Yeah, yeah." "Just checking." "Let's have some tunes, baby." "[ Little Feat's "Willin'" plays ]" "Dad, really?"

"I sold a bunch of cars, and people didn't hate me." "One woman even gave me a hug." "Oh, that is so good, sweetie!" "Now, you see?"
