Well, why is he even coming?
What do you mean? Because he loves us.
Yeah, but it doesn't seem like grandpa to, you know, visit.
Well...I don't know.
I guess -- what's her name -- Connie, it was her idea.
It's so weird to think of him dating.
My dad dating, my daughter dating --
it's all weird.
Already?
See ya.
That's your breakfast -- a yogurt?
Yogurt is what girls eat, Dad.
I guess yogurt makes you fat.
Stop it.
I mean -- I mean that. Stop that.
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
Bye-bye, workin' man.
Mm.
Aww, your poor eye. Yeah.
Stop by if you want to just chill later, okay?
You got it.
Okay.
Owen: Let's go, dude! Let's go!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Let's go!
Owen: I feel like today's the day --
the day we're gonna get past it.
I feel like we're gonna get out there today
and put some big numbers up on the board.
Any numbers.
Uh
We're doing, uh, the good-cop, bad-cop thing here.
Okay, we're in a slump.
It's not like it's the first time.
Okay, we've gone three days without a sale before.
Back in '92, during the riots.
Thank you, bad cop.
Look, l-let's just get out there, okay?
The only way to get through a slump is to keep pushing.
All right? Hold your heads up!
Thoreau Chevrolet!
Heads up!
Heads up!
Bill: Hello?
Hey, it's, uh, Joe.
Hey.
You know, I-I know I owe you guys,
and -- and I was gonna call Manfro.
Oh, yeah, yeah, don't even worry about Manfro,
'cause he's really in no condition.
So you can just deal with me.
Um, that'll be cool.
And, yeah, uh, just -- what's a good time to come by?
I was kind of thinking tonight.
Um, okay, except --
look, I-I-I don't have all the money right now,
but I will tomorrow, I swear.
Well, hey, oh, yeah, no, I'm not trying to, uh --
I'm just -- just, you know, I got family coming by.
Maria: Hey, Mr. T.
Hey, Maria.
What's going on?
Shouldn't we move all this Halloween stuff to the back
since it's, you know, after Valentine's Day?
Oh, yeah, good idea. I thought we did that already.
Okay, you do that.
Take the horns off, Maria.
Yeah, since it's, uh...
Oh ho ho! There's a curve.
Yeah! No, not really.
It's more of a fork ball, actually.
Owen: Hey, guys!
This is not exactly what I was talking about in the meeting, is it?
You know, we're not up, so we thought
we'd get out the kinks before our first game.
Owen: Until we sell a car, everybody's up.
Understand?
All right! All hands on deck! Let's go!
Sorry. Sorry.
Morning, son.
Morning, daddy.
I see the boys are getting excited about softball again.
Yeah, well, they, uh, need to get excited
about selling some cars.
Well, sure, but it just reminded me
that I wanted to talk to you,
because I don't think I'm gonna manage the team anymore.
And who better to hand the Thoreau All-Stars over to
than the new boss?
Um, no. No, no, no.
Uh, no, thank you.
Um, I haven't played on the team in 15 years.
I mean, I was never any good when I did play.
Still, the big boss should always be the manager.
Daddy, aren't you the one who's always saying
that I should avoid all the distractions
and focus on selling?
No, it's all the same thing, see?
Look at those poor bastards.
Maybe what they need for their work to improve
is something to take their mind off of work.
You got to get them excited. You got to fire 'em up!
Who's the first game against?
Uh, Scarpulla, I think.
Scarpulla? Those sons of bitches!
Those customer-stealing, baby-eating,
no-count sons of bitches!
They've beaten us for too many years in a row,
and that shit cannot stand!
Well, something like that.
Here you go.
All right.
Hey, uh, sorry about earlier.
Got a lot on my mind.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, so, um, Scarpulla's our first game, huh?
Yeah.
Those sons of bitches.
Hey, I think I'm gonna be managing the team this year.
Senior passed the ol' clipboard on to me.
From what he tells me, we got a strong team this year.
It's exciting, right?
Good team out there on the field,
good team here on the floor.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
So, anyway, you're right, Lawrence,
I mean, no use everybody being in here -- right? --
unless you want to Try to sell each other cars.
So, yeah, you can toss a ball around out back
if you -- if you want. Yeah.
Whoo!
Um, that's why we have practice, right?
Sorry.
Hey.
Uh, hi.
Wow. Look at you.
I know I said that we'd just hang out here
and chill and everything, but I forgot that I promised Lindsey
I'd go check out this new place with her.
Uh, that -- that's okay.
Really? Sure.
You're awesome.
Hey.
Stella: Okay. Let's go.
So, the guys said they'll be at the bar till 11:00.
Oh, good, 'cause I kind of got to get up early for --
so we'll meet them there and then go to the club, okay?
Okay.
Dad, you could beat any woman golfer in the world, right?
I don't know if that's entirely true, actually.
I think it is.
I mean, that's what I wrote on Facebook.
What?
What? Oh, why would you write that?
Who's that now?
Oh, boy.
Lucy, I told you not to invite anybody over!
Oh.
Hey. Hey.
Michelle, what's -- what's wrong?
I lost the account.
What account?
The account, Joe. Vexipharm.
Right. Oh, right.
Yeah. Yeah, the account.
Last quarter, we get the call
to help them reorganize and lay a bunch of people off.
I come out here ready for three months of work.
Now they got some new wonder drug,
and their stock's way up, and I'm gonna get fired.
Oh, hey, uh, come here, come here.
Do you want to, um...
Should we just -- let's go someplace.
We'll talk about it. No, no, no, no.
Can we just stay here? You don't want to go somewhere?
I don't feel like being around people.
I'm in such a shitty mood.
Oh. Oh, s-sorry.
Yeah, no, it's okay.
Lucy, Albert, this is Michelle.
Hey.
Hi. Yeah, she, um --
we, um...
This is Michelle.
You know, I heard this guy two years ago in Prague.
Stella: Really? Yeah.
That's so cool.
I would love to go there.
