Marty Supreme

-Mrs. Mariann. -You have the nine and a half?

-Yeah, you're a lucky lady. -Oh, I'm excited.

Last pair. Let me see those beautiful feet.

The right foot's all right?

There you go. Get it in there.

-They're too tight. -It's okay. All right.

-Are these the nine and a half? -These are the nine and a half, yeah.

Do you have the next size?

No, not in a Kerrybrooke. But that's why I don't like Kerrybrooke,

because they fit really small. They're made for dolls or something.

-They're too tight. -Okay, take 'em off. Don't worry about it.

-You ever try Vitality? -No.

I'll be right with you.

Excuse me. Sorry.

I bought a pair of shoes here the other day from him, with the glasses.

-Marty. -Yeah?

This woman said she bought a pair of shoes from you.

Oh, yeah. You bought the brown Mary Janes, right?

Yeah, I did. They're great. I wore them out of the store.

-Okay. -So I left my old ones here.

Okay. What did they look like?

They're two-toned pumps, wingtips.

-Lloyd, did you see her shoes? -No.

Is it possible that you maybe put them in one of the boxes

of the other shoes that I was trying on and restocked them?

Okay. All right. Um...

Do you mind if my colleague helps you out for a second?

Lloyd. Can you help with Mariann here?

Sure. Sure.

Yeah, we'll check the basement. Come.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Lloyd's gonna help you. Get the Vitalities.

Okay. I'll think about the price.

I'll be right with you. Let me finish up here.

Okay, thank you.

-What? -Shh.

- Marty. -Ah, fuck.

I wanna show you something. Come here.

-What? -One second. Just get low. Go low.

Why do I have to get low?

-How you doing? -Marty, look what I got for ya.

What is this?

Check it out.

What am I looking at?

Turn it over.

-Manager? -Manager.

Come on, Murray.

Whatever you do, just don't tell Lloyd about this.

Look, I've been very clear with you.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful. You built something very commendable here.

I don't wanna-- I don't wanna discuss this now.

Stop. Stop. Let me say something.

It's been good for my soul to see this up close and personal.

-But I'm not a shoe salesman. -I don't wanna discuss this.

-I'm not a shoe salesman. -I don't wanna discuss this, okay?

I do wanna discuss it, 'cause when I'm back from my trip, this is over.

I'm not coming back and doing this.

Speaking of which, can we settle up now? I gotta buy my plane ticket.

We'll settle at closing.

I wanted to see the travel agent on my break.

You'll never come back after your lunch break.

That's what you think of me?

-Yes. -You think I would go and not come back?

Yes. I said settle at closing, okay?

-That's it? -Yeah, that's it. Goodbye.

I love you.

-Come on. -Wait. Just wait for me.

I was about... I was about to come to you.

No, Ira's home sick.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. I can't get sick. -What?

I got the championships.

No, it's food poisoning. It's food poisoning.

I wish I could hide you in my luggage.

I wanna come with you so bad.

Backhand. Backhand. Backhand.

Forehand. Forehand. Forehand.

Backhand. Backhand. Backhand.

Forehand. Forehand.

Backhand. Backhand.

And lob.

Forehand.

-Marty! -What!

-Phone! -Tell him I left 20 minutes ago!

I'm not your goddamn messenger! Pick up the goddamn phone!

I can't. Wally, take the white shirt off.

I can't follow the white ball against the white shirt.

Stop it. You're a fucking sun dodger.

Oh, yeah? I love you. I love you.

Hello?

It's Judy.

Hi, Judy.

Your mother, she's very sick.

Okay, really?

Yes. She's gray in the face. She's speaking nonsense.

She's asking for you. You should come home.

Sounds really bad. You should probably call an ambulance.

Who's gonna go with her?

Uh, I don't know. You should probably go since you're so invested.

Hold on a minute.

He's not buying it.

Just tell him I stopped breathing!

Absolutely not. That's ridiculous. I'm not saying that.

Tell him you're taking me to the hospital.

Okay, fine. I'll take her to the emergency room

and sit there and wait for God knows how long.

And you can come here and give my husband his medicine

and massage his feet all night long.

Tell him I passed out.

Oh, my God! Your mother, she just lost consciousness.

You've gotta come home now.

Hello?

Hi. Just give me a second.

I don't know what you want me to say, Judy.

I'm busy. I'm on my lunch break.

I can hear her whispering. She's right there standing next to you.

- I told you she passed out. - It's annoying me now.

Who are you talking to?

Oh. I'm not talking to anybody.

Judy's just been tying up the line for an hour.

I got you some broth.

It's ice cold.

Yeah, 'cause the line was really long at the shop.

Oh, yeah? So that's what they'll say if I call down and ask?

You don't believe me? You calling me a liar?

Pick up the phone and call them.

You're gonna have to get Judy off the phone first.

-Oh, okay. -

Hey, Judy, get off the phone.

Okay, this is a normal IATT approved ball.

Try to follow the white ball against the white.

Almost impossible, right?

I don't even see your eyes moving.

If I'm wearing a white shirt, you can't see the ball.

Now, imagine it with an orange ball, which no one's ever thought of.

See? You're already following it way better. Look at his eyes.

-See how his eyes are looking? -Yeah, I see it.

You're looking more engaged now.

So that's what we wanna do. Right now in the world of table tennis,

you're obliged to wear black, just so you can follow the white ball.

Look at this. That's Ted Bailey.

Who's that?

That's the number one ranked player in the world right now.

He's the British champion. I've already beat him, by the way.

Now look at this.

That's Jack Kramer, number one tennis player.

-What's the difference there? -He's wearing all white.

He's in all white. It's beautiful.

To me, that's luxury. To me, that's class. You could sell that.

Marty, a custom ball like that is gonna cost a lot of money.

Of course it's custom. It's an original ball for an original guy.

It's the Marty Supreme ball, not the Marty Normal ball.

But what's it gonna cost?

It doesn't matter the cost. We can't cheap out on this.

It's gonna be nominal, Mr. Galanis.

You always said we gotta spend money to make money, right?

Get me a cup of coffee.

No. Get your secretary to get ya a cup of coffee.

Nancy's busy. Just get me a coffee.

Dad, we're talking like men about business here.

-I'm not getting ya a cup of coffee. -Get me the damn coffee!

Marty, you want a coffee?

No, I'm all right. I'm not drinking caffeine.

Listen.

I appreciate you're friends with my son.

-He's limited. -

He's 30 years old. He's still living at home.

He hasn't done much.

And he doesn't know business. He doesn't know the costs.

I don't think he's limited, Mr. Galanis, respectfully.

I mean, look at your business success.

That's in your DNA, and you passed that through to Dion.

-It just hasn't been awoken yet. -I don't know.

I wouldn't be here trying to involve you in something

that I didn't fully in my bones believe in.

I have tremendous respect for your money. I know it's hard to believe,

but I'm telling you, this game, it fills stadiums overseas.

And it's only a matter of time before it fills stadiums in the United States too,

before I'm staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.

I don't know nothing about this business.

No, you don't. That's why you gotta trust me.

This time next week, I'll be the first American to ever win the British Open.

That'll slide me into the number one ranking for the World Championship.

Life magazine's gonna cover it. Look magazine's gonna cover it.

They have to. The editor of Look magazine, he loves me. They all love me.

I'm uniquely positioned to be the face of the entire sport in the United States.
