Ozark

Here's what I don't get.

We paid you to put this stuff inside the house.

It's of no use to me out here.

Like I said before, sir, we weren't contracted to move

- anyone else's furniture out. - Right, "contracted."

In the history of moving,

have you ever been contracted to drop someone's shit on the front yard?

- Marty. - Work with me.

They forgot the toy chest.

The what?

Charlotte's toy chest. The one I made her.

How is that a priority? Okay?

Sir! I want you to give me one example.

I want you to tell me one example of someone who said,

"We'd like you to take everything that we own"

and dump it on our front lawn.

"Make sure you don't put anything on the inside of the house."

Give me one example of that, and I'll drop it.

Right. Can't do it. It's never happened.

Ma'am, there's a number on the receipt.

- You can file a claim. - Thank you. I will.

- That's it, you're just gonna leave now? - Yep.

- Dick. - Great.

- We'll move it in ourselves, I guess. - Do you...

Supposed to be in the fucking service business!

Just calm down.

- Why should I calm down? - Because you're gonna scare the kids.

At least I didn't tell them their father launders money for a drug cartel.

Okay, you wanna get into this right here, right now?

Marty! Wendy!

All right, well...

Everybody grab a box. Let's go.

Okay, kids, if you're not gonna help,

let's just go over what you're gonna say when somebody asks you why you're here.

- How about that? - Charlotte, come over here, please.

Pretty comfortable in my driveway bed.

- Charlotte. - Over here right now, please.

This is important.

What do you say when somebody asks what you're doing here?

We bought a resort called the Blue Cat.

That's exactly right. We bought a resort called the Blue Cat.

And while I'm there today doing my job,

your job is to get your boxes up into your rooms.

- Okay? - What's Wendy's job?

Getting groceries.

If you don't like your jobs, you're free to go find a real job

and help out the family.

- How long are we here? - Is your cartel after us?

It is not my cartel, and no one is after us, pal.

Uh, hopefully, we're only here a few months.

Why did you tell us the real reason we're here?

- Because you're too smart for bullshit. - Please don't pander.

I'm not pandering.

You both have a right to know why your lives were uprooted,

and the more you know, the safer you'll be.

Is it? Or is it 'cause you wanted us to turn on Marty here?

You know, I found bus fares.

Caitlin said I could live with them...

- That's never gonna happen. - No, ma'am.

Her mother drinks every day.

But you are laundering money.

I'm... I'm helping people, uh, get their money back into the bank

so they can pay their taxes.

I got a job interview.

- What? How? - Technology.

- I'll give you a ride. - No, thanks, I can Uber.

Wendy, you know, you can borrow the minivan for the groceries,

and I can use Buddy's car out back.

- Do either of you want anything? - Yeah.

Maybe you could pick up some pistachio ice cream?

Organic, please?

Oh, shit. There's no Uber.

I'm happy to give you a ride when I'm done with my day, if you can wait.

Now, listen...

I know this is a bad situation. I get it. But we're all in this together.

We're gonna suck it up. Whining's not gonna help.

That's your pep talk?

That's my pep talk. Also, grab a box.

You gotta be kidding me.

If I was kidding, I would've said you're witty and handsome.

You can't do that!

- Watch me. - What the fuck?

- Russ! - Now, Ruth, we were all involved.

We should at least get our cut. It's just fair.

You spent $900 on Jack Daniel's and fireworks.

And for the record, life's not fair.

You'll be thanking me when I parlay that coin into a better roof over our heads.

You're missing the big picture.

She's not missing the big picture, Pops. She just doesn't wanna waste it.

Mm.

Come July 3rd,

every tourist on that lake's gonna be too drunk or lazy to leave their Grady-White.

Black Cats and bottle rockets fetch double.

Lady Fingers and inch-and-a-halfers go times three.

And the Jack?

Predilection for sour mash doesn't make a man stupid.

Doesn't inspire confidence either.

Point taken.

Hmm.

You know, you're not your daddy.

That's right.

And if Daddy were here, he would have hung you out by your ball sack already.

You want me to tell him that you're disrespecting me?

Didn't think so.

Keep it shut about Byrdeman's eight mil.

You don't wanna be fighting the whole town for it.

All she ever says, "I'm telling Daddy."

- You brought him up. - Well, fuck that.

How long we gotta feel bad about what he did?

Don't start with that again.

- I'm just saying... - I know, I know.

"There's gotta be a statute of limitations about this shit."

You're damn right there does.

Fuck me.

There you go.

Good mornin'.

Hey. The, uh, gas tanks are filled.

- That's a waste. - Why's that?

Simple economics. All supply, no demand.

I'll worry about that. It's a good song. Did you pick it?

It's a Tuck specialty.

There are easier ways to take over a business

than getting punched in the face.

Well, that should tell you something, shouldn't it?

That you're a lousy fighter?

That and, uh, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Okay?

Long as it's in pleated pants.

Uh, listen, we need to increase traffic. Um...

what do we have that no other place does?

Uh, an investor that knows absolutely nothing about the Ozarks.

- And the cheapest gas. - We don't have the cheapest gas.

We do now, and it's our siren song.

All the guests at the high-end resorts, they get ferried around.

So that's not our bread and butter. What we're after...

are the families with the credit card debt.

Every one of our competitors, they raise their gas prices during the summer.

It's the logical thing to do, yeah?

We lower ours.

And as we start to steal their traffic,

maybe they lower theirs, too, to keep pace.

What do we do? We lower ours again,

and we offer a burger and a beer for five bucks with every fill-up.

We buy the burgers at bulk so we're still in profit.

Saturdays, the busiest day of the week...

while everyone's scrambling,

we raise our price ten cents while still keeping the burger deal.

Sunday, we start the cycle all over again.

Control the market. Yeah? You win, I win, they win.

Are you high?

No.

Your eyes, you look high.

Oh.

I didn't sleep last night.

Well, maybe listen to one of your business lectures.

That might do the trick.

Burgers really five dollars with a fill-up?

Yes, sir.

Uh, what'll you have to drink?

Mm, Bud is fine.

Hmm. You guys doing some work on the place?

That's the word.

Thanks.

Hey, Tuck? There are other songs in there, pal.

Please? Different number, different letter.

You owe me a job.

- What? - Am I speaking Greek?

- You owe me a fucking job. - How do you figure that?

It's not tough. You got me fired from the last one.

You got yourself fired...

when you stole from our room under the guise of diligent service.

Goodbye.

I'm not leaving without gainful motherfucking employment.

Why don't you use the 20 grand that you took from me?

That should supplement your welfare.

- I'm not a welfare bum. - No?

There's a million other places you could probably work.

Not right before season. All staffed up.

My daughter got an interview in under three minutes.

I doubt she got a rap sheet like mine.

Boy, you say that with such pride.

Listen, Martin... wouldn't you agree that it's always a good idea

to keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

Hey, you told your uncles to kill me. Do you remember that?

- You're here, aren't you? - That's right, I am.

Isn't it better having someone working under you

who knows all your dirty little deeds?

I mean, if I were in your shoes,

I'd sure as shit rather have someone like me nearby,

instead of running my mouth to every Tom, Dick and Harry

about the eight million cash you're swimming in.

Someone could get ideas.

Wanna take a little wade in that big pool of yours.

And then when it's over, when it's all said and done...

you'll find all your money's gone...

and you're at the bottom, with an anchor tied around your torso.

In theory.

Follow me.

- What are we doing? - Deposit this.

- What? Why? - Just do it.

- Okay. Good. - Good what?
