Men of a Certain Age

Hey, Joe!

Hey. Sneaking up on me there.

- How you doin'? - Good, good.

Uh, is this a bad time?

Nah, nah, it's cool. Tran's cool. Come on in, buddy.

- Wow, I'm on a losing streak here. - Yeah.

Can't pick 'em to save my life.

Yeah, happens, right?

- $500, right? - Yeah.

Hey, uh, what's the line on Kentucky/Duke?

Think I want to go a grand on Kentucky.

Oh, uh, gee, I don't know. Off the top of my head, don't know.

I'd have to check with, uh, Manfro.

Right, right. How's he doing, by the way?

Yeah, you know, not too good. Chemo, all that.

Well, you're a good man, you know, doing all this legwork for him.

I'm sure he appreciates it.

Yeah, thanks.

All right, I'll, uh, check the line for you.

Yeah. Oh, hey, I know another guy

who wants some action on that same game.

Oh, well, I don't know think Manfro's taking on new clients.

He's in the neighborhood. Works over on Ventura.

He's just itching to lay down some bets is all. No biggie.

Yeah, no. All right, I'll see you later.

Bye.

Order that pineapple...

Where on Ventura?

Here's the paperwork on those high-mileage cars Donny's buying.

He took 12 this month. Pretty good.

12 cars, and this is all we get?

He's lowballing the shit out of us. I've checked around.

That's what all the wholesalers are paying.

Hey, um, look at this for a second.

These are the, um, customer-satisfaction cards

from last month.

Straight fives: "Extremely satisfied."

Looks good.

Hold on, now.

Now, look at the customer comments from the website.

"The customer service is so lousy, I wanted to 'Thoreau' up!"

"A 'terriable' car-buying 'experiance.'"

or, "I felt like I needed a shower

after dealing with the oily salesman."

That's just the Internet.

It's all anonymous. People can say anything.

Okay, but the cards are bullshit.

The cards are bullshit.

Got guys sitting right down there,

pressuring the customer to give them a good report.

Shit, they forget that I used to work the floor.

Maybe it's time for some "Secret Shoppers."

Nah, that's a hassle.

All those fake customers coming in, taking up the guys' time.

Now it's all done by hidden camera -- easy.

Scarpulla hires a company that takes care of the whole thing.

How do you know what Scarpulla is doing?

Carl told me. That's how he got fired.

Carl... Our Carl?

Yep. He got caught hawking his band's CDs to the customers.

Really?

Yeah, but not to worry.

According to this card...

"My salesman Carl was da bomb."

Uh, Mr. Joe...

Uh, we have a candy delivery

come Thursday morning. Okay, yeah.

Dashaun say he no can be here.

Uh, you can come? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

I do it, but, uh, I no have key.

You want to give me key?

It's okay, Carlos. I'll be here.

Okay. Yeah.

Hey. What's up?

How you -- oh.

Uh, you there? You stopped?

Ca--

I can see you, but I can't hear you.

Oh, I hear you a little bit.

Are you there?

Uh, you're not moving.

All right, are we not -- we're not --

you -- you've stopped the video?

I know it's you.

I'm still -- can you hear me?

Just call me.

Hey, you ever use the, uh, video-chat thing on your computer?

Um, no. Let me ask you something.

Can somebody see you anytime your computer's on?

I told you I didn't use it,

but, um, no, I don't think so. Hmm.

Are you kidding me?

What?

Did he say that he was bringing her? No.

Gentlemen... Hey.

Hey. How are you? How's it goin'?

You missed a great hike. Yeah, it was so hot up there, though.

I'm just gonna run to the ladies' room. Be right back.

Hey, you want to swing around so I can sit next to Erin?

I tell you guys, she is in great shape.

We did the big loop in an hour and 20. Without whining.

That's awesome. Here. Put that away.

What's the matter with you? Nothing. What?

Come on. You're being all terse. I'm not terse.

You don't have a problem with Erin being here, do you? No, it's totally cool.

It would have been nice, maybe, to get a little notice.

Should I have called you to tell you that she was coming?

No, don't be a dick about it. It's just, I don't know.

What if I have a sensitive topic I just want to discuss?

- Then you should discuss it. - Really?

So, if I got an issue with, um, my balls,

she's okay hearing about that?

Do you have an issue with your balls?

I kind of do, yeah.

Nothing life-threatening,

but something I might want to bounce off you guys.

Then lay it on us.

No, don't. And don't you go acting

like having her here is just some normal shit.

Oh, why can't you guys just roll with this?

It's no big deal. You could bring Melissa if you want to.

I don't want to bring Melissa. That's the point.

And even if I asked her, she wouldn't come.

I don't know. This just feels like our thing.

It still is our thing. Okay, fine.

Then, when she gets back, I'm talking about my scrotum.

Looking forward to it.

Plus, you got Laura over there. She's giving you the stink-eye.

Nah, nah. She's cool. We never defined things.

How is it...how is Erin even back in the picture?

You said she went back to her old boyfriend. What happened?

She said she knew right away that she'd made a mistake.

Hey, look, she tried to make it work for five years.

There was just no magic there.

You're magical?

What can I say? She can't live without me.

Joe: Oh, God, really?

I've been with you five minutes, and I want out.

Erin: Hey, babe. Hey, babe.

Excuse me, miss. I'd love a cup if you get a second.

Sure thing. Thank you.

So, um, we saw the fantasy woman.

Oh, yeah. You know about her, huh?

Yeah, Terry told me you like 'em big, Joe,

but that's really an understatement.

I just put in my password and, um...

...Antilock brakes...

...Watch.

So, you're spying on the employees.

No. It's an instructional tool.

I can show this to my guys and say, you know,

"Good job, so-and-so," or, "Hey, whoever,

this is something you might want to work on."

Mm-hmm.

Um, what else can I tell you?

Uh, it's, uh, you've got individual climate control --

driver and passenger.

Saved a lot of marriages. You know, "He's hot, she's cold."

Well, tell C.J. that -- yo, make a left here.

Yo, tell him that -- I mean right, right, right. Sorry.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Dude! Be careful, man!

Sorry, man. I'm at work.

Vanity mirrors on both sides.

Check this out -- a map light.

Or a French-fry finder.

Um, eh...

How about this sound system, man?

Bass just, like, kicks.

Pull over at this newsstand.

I got to grab the paper real quick.

This car's satellite system has 250 satellite channels.

Hope you don't mind.

I've been on my feet all day.

I have CDs for sale.

Woman: Really, I just want to use it for emergencies.

That's the only time I'd use it. Right, okay.

Uh, well, yeah, I mean, that's great if you want to use it for emergencies.

First thing we should do

is show you how to turn it on.

So, um, just press that button right there.

That button right there.

Excuse me for just a second.

Hey, can I help you with something?

Hey, yeah.

Uh, you're, uh, the friend of Bill's?

The um... The, uh, basketball fan?

Yeah. Uh...

Yeah. Hey, uh, thanks for coming by.

Marty. Hey. I'm Joe...Orge.

Hey. Good to meet you George.

So...Do you think, uh, maybe

I could get some action on Kentucky/Duke?

Got a line on that?

Uh, yeah, Duke's giving three and a half.

Perfect. Can I get five g's on Kentucky?

Going big -- Kentucky, huh? Yeah.

Yeah, that's your friend, Bill -- he bet the same team.

Uh, you know, Duke's been looking pretty good the last couple weeks.
