Boo! Boo!
Boo! Boo!

Look, I don't know how they
snuck that shit on our website,



but we got to get serious.

That thing
is everywhere, O.

"Scarpulla, boyeeee!"

Oh!

- Please, don't.
- Sorry.

Scarpulla is not content
to just coexist in peace.

He's trying to swoop in
in our moment of weakness

and take everything.

Are we weak? I thought
we were doing all right.

We're doing great.

But, hey, the best defense
is a good offense.

So, first off,
new promotions.

We're giving out free car washes
all month long.

Right?
Get a nice big line going.

You guys are gonna have a bunch
of face time with potential ups.

And we're also doing
a new commercial.

You can't be in it.
Nothing personal, Lawrence.

We just already have
a homegrown star.

Aw, no, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, O.

You didn't think I was gonna let all
that talent go to waste, did you?

Ladies and gentlemen, the new
face of Thoreau Chevrolet!

Hollywood!

Arriba! Arriba!

Hey, Bill, what's up?

'Cause, you know, I'm still
not doing the bookie thing.

Dude, calm down.

I still owe you $500.
I'm trying to be a good guy.

I'm just gonna swing by.

No. By the store? No, no.
You don't got to do that.

Um...
Actually, you know what?

As far as the money,
Merry Christmas.

Really?

Yeah, yeah, why not?

I could let it ride.
Cubbies have been covering.

No.
No, no, no, no.

You just, uh...
Start an I.R.A. or something.

Geez, thanks, Joe.

You know,
between Manfro getting cancer

and you going
all boy scout on me,

I got a whole bagful of money
I don't know what to do with.

I'm sure you're gonna figure
something out, right?

- All right, I'll see ya.
- Nice knowin' ya.

Whoa, Mr. T,
did you get demoted?

Mm-hmm!
New unis, guys.

Got the logo on the front.
You see that?

All right. Cool.

It's all right.

There's no music.
Come on, what's up with that?

- Oh.
- Come on, guys. We're slipping here.

I know you hate my music,
but, uh...

Come on.

Yeah, that's broke.

Well, for how long?

Come on, didn't anybody think
to maybe tell me?

Didn't want to bug you,
Mr. T.

You haven't been here that much,
and Dashaun and me

are trying to be managers
like you asked.

But there's a lot to do.

Okay, yeah, I get it.
I get it.

I'm just --
I'm not mad at you guys.

I'm not.
But here's the thing.

I'm actually
gonna be around more.

What about
the Senior Tour?

Store comes first.
It's gotta, right?

But first we got to
shape this place up.

We got to fix
this damn thing.

You know what?
We should paint.

That's what we'll do.

I'm gonna close the store up
tomorrow,

we'll all pitch in,
we'll get it done fast.

All right?
I'll buy pizza.

You guys start putting
all that together, okay?

I think I got some tarps
in the back. Let me look.

Hey, boss.

Hey, sorry about springing
the commercial on you that way.

I just got all excited.

Yeah, you know,
it's exciting.

It's very, uh --

Come on, man.
You got to do it.

- I really don't want to.
- Okay, I know.

I can't do another
bad commercial, O, all right?

The guys are still
making fun of me

for those spots
on the Internet.

Okay, look, look,
ups come in --

they want to talk
to the TV guy.

If you're the TV guy,
you're gonna double your sales.

Double the--
that's a fact.

Now, my dad
used to be the guy.

But we need to
freshen things up.

And I feel like
you're the secret weapon.

Scarpulla looks like a shyster
in his commercials.

But if we bust out
with a professional actor,

all-American, good-looking, huh?!
O...O...

Come on, man.
Dude, I'm telling you.

You're the key
to kicking his ass.

- All right.
- Yes!

Yes. The new face
of the company.

Look, I'm not gonna
hang you out to dry.

I'm spending money
I don't have on this thing.

And I don't know much
about show business,

but it's gonna be good...
Classy.

Okay.

Classy.

Hey, can you dance?

I'm messing with you.

♪ ♪

What's up?
You all right?

You need an emergency bag
of lucky charms?

I'm going on fumes.
No sleep again last night.

Work stuff
or just peeing?

Work.

Woke up every night
this week, 4:00 a.m.,

million thoughts runnin'
through my head.

Oh, I get that shit,
too.

It's like obsession
wake-up call.

4:00 a.m.,
start thinking of stuff.

I know I ain't
going back to sleep.

You know what knocks me out
is mint tea.

Yeah, I'm sitting in bed
wondering, "Do I even exist?"

You think I'm shutting that down
with tea?

I'm just saying.
Sleep like a baby.

The only thing that's gonna
make me sleep like a baby

is seeing black numbers on
my spreadsheet instead of red.

What, whoa, whoa,
whoa, guys.

Fantasy woman.

I got to tell you,
she's not that hot.

No, you're tired and stupid
and still kind of fat.

Oh!

She's
a good-looking woman,

but, you know,
you've done better.

Better than her?

Yeah, what about
what's-her-face,

the blind-date hygienist lady
where you came in your pants?

Dori, you mean?
Yeah, that's not what happened.

I'm talking to her.
You know what?

I don't give a damn.
It's about time.

Right. Right.

Here we go!
Hey.

Oh, hi!

- Yeah. Hi.
- Hi.

I haven't seen you
up here in a while.

Oh, yeah, I just -- you know,
I've been crazy with the store

and, uh, well,

a lot of stuff going on.

So, uh, you know?

Joe's been playing
a lot of golf.

He's trying out
for the Senior Tour.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

You must be good.

I'm, uh -- I'm okay.
I'm all right, you know?

I'm not actually trying out
for the tour.

I was gonna,
but I'm not now.

But, yeah,
I could give you some pointers

if you want to know
how to hit a bad shot.

Well, thanks.
I'll think about that.

- Okay.
- Yeah. See you later.

Okay. Bye-by
bye.

She's gonna
think about that.

You know, normally,
I'd say that's bullshit,

but that had a not-bullshit
inflection to it.

You're not trying out
for the tour?

Uh, no.
No, I'm not.

Dude, that's all you been doin'
for the last six month.

Well, that's all
I been trying to do.

Now, look, I practiced,
I got a coach, I tried.

It's just --
it ain't gonna happen.

Can't you
keep on practicing?

Well, the uh, pre-qualifying's
here, next week.

So...
No.

Yeah,
but what about Albert?

Wasn't he supposed to caddy
and all that?

Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.

So maybe he'll see
that you can't neglect shit

and it magically
works out.

Okay, all right.
I mean, that's fine, Joe.

Just, you know,
we're surprised, that's all.

Yeah. Just seemed like
you wanted to do that.

I know.

Well, you know,
the good news is

that it looks like the
fantasy woman might be into you.

Oh.
You got to put that in my head?

Well, what?
You said it first.

Yeah, but I'm just
bullshitting myself.

You're saying -- aw, now I'm
gonna be thinking, "Hey, maybe."

I'm not gonna sleep
tonight now.

I'm gonna call you
at 4:00 a.m.

Oh, God.

Me and the fantasy woman.
Can you imagine that, though?

I mean, if it's --

ooh!
I got to run this off.

I'll see you at the top.

Hello?

Over here!

U realize you only get
one closet, right?

Don't worry, I'm taking a couple
sick days off work to purge.

Yeah, I've gone through
almost one box.

Oh, boy.

What?
Give me that!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.

Hey! Oh, man!

Look at you.
Look how cute you were!

You got your whole little
Duran Duran thing going there.

Look at that!
Aww, that's nice!

I was going for more of a --
I don't know -- Belinda Carlisle.

Thank you very much.

What can I do for you,
daddy?

I noticed the inventory
could use a little freshening.

You ought to have the lot guys
move the new Camaros

down towards the street.

Okay.

I just want to make sure
you understand

that now that Bruce is gone,
you're gonna have to step it up.

He may have had
his problems,

but he took a lot
off of your plate.

Daddy, I'm here morning,
noon, and night.

I rarely see the kids.

Well, now,
that's a shame.

But sometimes, that's --
that's the way it's got to be.

There were times
back in the '70s

where I slept here
four nights a week.

I remember.

Okay.

Oh, and what time do you
need me here

for the commercial tomorrow?

Oh. Um...

Um...

A-actually, um...

00.

5:00.
See you then.

Whew!

Pizza in the back, guys.

Go get it.
Just got here.

It's still hot.
It's from Mikey P's.

It's the good stuff.

Um...

Okay, guys, what?

Just because
of all the management,

the stuff
we've been doing lately,

Dashaun and I think
we should get a raise.

Oh.

I mean, you kind of
made a big deal

about us taking on more
responsibility, which we did.

But I'm still getting paid
like a cashier.

And so
it's not really fair

that you keep paying me
the same -- us the same.

- Right?
- Yeah.

I just -- you know, guys,

I wish you would talk about this
with me in my office, maybe,

at the right time.

Sorry, Mr. T. It's just --
we just never see you.

Well, yeah,
but like I said,

that'-- that's all
gonna change.

Okay. But we're still
gonna be doing a lot.

Also, I just got pizza.

Look, I'm sorry,
but the truth is,

I can't be doing a raise thing
right now, okay?

I just -- I'm sorry.

So, that's it?

Yeah. I'm sorry.

¿qué estás haciendo?

No importa. Lo que
él está hacien no es justo.

Hey, hey, hey.
Are you walking out on me?

We just want what's fair,
Mr. T.

Although we could
finish up and then go.

No, she's right.

Maria,
what are you doing?!

It's just not fair, Mr. T.
It's not fair.

Dashaun!
All right, man.

No worry, Mr. Joe.
I have 10 friends we call.

Okay. You don't have
to do that, Carlos.

Oh, hey, Marcos?

Yeah, I got it.
Toilet paper and half and half.

Piece of shit!

What's going on?

The stupid pressure pump
is broken again.

I keep trying
to boost the regulator,

but the rinse cycle
is so weak

because it's
a piece of shit!

Okay, well,
it's got to be fixed

because I've Tweeted
and Facebooked

and we've got flyers from here to
Glendale saying "Free car wash."

People are coming
tomorrow morning.

Then you're gonna be
hand-washing every car,

because this piece of shit
ain't gonna do it.

Uh, something just came up.
I'm not gonna make dinner.

Oh, shoot. Again?

You remember both boys have
school projects due tomorrow, right?

Look,
it's kind of an emergency.

I got to track down
this pressure pump.

And this guy, Chet,
he's about to cry.

Look, forget it.
I'll tell you later.

Okay, sweetie.

When we see you later,
right?

Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no mañana.
Ahora.

Estúpido.

Sorry, Mr. Joe.

Yeah, it's okay, Carlos.

Don't worry.
He and me do good job.

Hey, man.
I got it.

I had to drive all the way to
Torrance and wake up some dude,

but, uh...

Hey, man!

Hey, I got it.

What time is it,
man?

It's time
to rock this thing.

And don't worry about
how long it takes,

'cause you're on double time,
okay?

Okay.

Hey.

You need, um...

Help?

Our friendly staff ensures

that you'll get a great deal
without all the hassle.

Because they're not making them
like they used to.

You know,
I got to say,

I'm kind of excited
about the shoot today.

Yeah?

I mean, Owen was right.
This does not suck.

I mean, even the part
with his dad is okay.

You know
at I'm excited about?

I found a whole box of these
in my new closet.

Wow.

You know, he's really cute,
but I think I like you better.

Well, that's good.

And why are you wearing
overalls?

This was
my best pair of pants.

Where is everybody?

The car wash has
a huge line!

Everybody's supposed to be here
catching fish!

Early shift was
just me and Lawrence.

Did you put more people
on the schedule?

Okay, okay.

Um...

Get on the phone
and call everybody.

Okay.

Whew.

Come on.

Owen Thoreau.

Hmm.

Bill, what's, uh --
I thought it was a delivery.

Well, you know,
I just happened to be driving by

and I saw
your truck here,

and I realized, geez,
you know?

I can't take your money.

Oh.
All right, whatever.

And I also realized

I got a good feeling
about Denver tonight.

No, no.
I'm not taking bets.

I told you,
that's still the deal.

Oh, come on, man,
you owe me.

You know, the Cubs won
the other night.

- I would've cleaned up.
- Come on, seriously. You got to go.

Come on.
Look, I'm not taking your bet,

and that's a good thing
for both of us, believe me.

Aw, come on, Joe.
No, seriously.

Listen. Come on.
You have a problem, man.

Just go to G.A.

Man. Joe. Joe. Joe.
Thanks a lot, Joe. Loser!

Carlos.

Hey, listen, thanks, uh --
thanks for --

well, just, you know, thanks.
Yeah.

Hey, Carlos,
hold on a sec.

You know what?

Yeah. I don't need this anymore.
You take it. Practice at home.

You know, you could maybe
make it on the "señor" tour.

I'm sorry,
that was just laying there.

Okay.

All right.

Who do you think's gonna be
the first one to flub their lines?

Not gonna be me, son.

Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding?

We're gonna start
with a glamour shot

of the Chevrolet emblem,
light making it glow.

Then we pan
to your first spokesman.

People say they don't make them
like they used to.

At Thoreau Chevrolet,
we agree.

The new
Camaro convertible --

312 horsepower,
29 miles per gallon.

That is definitely not
making them like they used to.

And the same goes
for our sales team.

Our friendly staff
ensures

that you'll get a great deal
without all the hassle.

So, come in to Thoreau

and let the best generation
of car salesmen

show you the next generation
of cars.

Because they're not making them
like they used to.

They just might be
making them better.

And cut!

Okay?

Okay,
how'd it look?

It looks great.

Freakin' cool, dude.
It's so freakin' cool.

Okay, we went a couple of seconds
over, though, so let's do it again.

And, this time,
just pick up the cues.

And action.

People say they don't make them
like they used to.

Isn't he supposed to
get out?

Cut!

Is there a problem,
Terry?

Uh...Yeah, yeah.

I think that there is.

O, can I talk to you
a sec?

- Um...
- What is it? Is it my dad?

He seems okay.
No, no, he's fine. He's fine.

It's just, um --

it's boring.

It's boring as hell.

Is it -- is it
supposed to be exciting?

It's supposed to
grab you.

But it does, right?

I mean, it's --
it's so freakin' cool!

Nobody's gonna give a shit
about that.

People have seen
a trillion commercials.

They're not gonna be drawn in
by some crane shot

and a bunch of old cars.

O, I'd hate to see you
spend all this money

and then not end up
doing any business.

- Oh, oh, okay.
- I'm sorry, I...

So...What do we do?

Well, I-I don't know.

Whew.
Hey, hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hang on, hang on.

Sit down. Sit down.
Sit down. Sit down.

You okay?

He you okay?

- Just got to catch my -- catch my --
- All right.

W-why is he doing that?

Sorry, he just -- we're thinking
about making some tweaks here.

Sorry.

It -- you know those commercials
for Scarpulla Chevrolet?

"Scarpulla, boyeeee"?

They're terrible, but they're
seared into your brain.

Everybody remembers them.

Don't get me wrong --
this looks great.

It's just that...
This is totally forgettable.

Well, don't get me wrong,
either,

but you better
make a decision,

'cause every minute
that goes by costs you money.

Yeah, yeah, we're --

just hold on, okay?

Um...

I think...

We're gonna need some help
from Joe. All right?

So you get your phone out,
call him, see if he's still there, okay?

You guys have
a green screen?

Quiet on the set,
please!

This is Thoreau Chevrolet
commercial

alternate version,
take 1.

Mark it!

Seriously, guys?

Go ahead.

Okay.

And...Action!

At Thoreau Chevrolet,
we're stuffed with deals.

Okay. Hang on.

That's good. Alright.

But don't be afraid to
go all out...

Cause that's what's gonna
make this thing work.

At Thoreau Chevrolet --

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! --
There is no bull!

Stupid's good, right?

Yeah, stupid is good.

My shadow!

That means six more weeks
of savings!

I think
this is more of a beaver.

Surf's up!
Prices are down.

Oui la la to savings.

Our prices
are going, "timbe-e-e-r!".

- So, he's Scarpulla, right?
- Yeah, yeah, he's Scarpulla.

Okay.

- That's the spot?
- Yeah, hit him again.

I've saved all I can save,
and I can't save no more!

I saved me
a pot o' gold at Thoreau!

Leprechaun kick!

I'm okay.

We should shoot one
for every holiday.

Then you'd be set
for a year.

♪ Nobody better come
and turn me down ♪

Hail to the cheap!

On, Camaro!
On, Silverado!

Our prices are egg-cellent!

Cut it. Sorry.
No.

Cut.

Yeah.
Okay, cut.

I want you
to buy a new Chevy.

Pick it up
a little bit.

I want you
to buy a new Chevy!

Goofier!

Good.

We're clearing out the old

to make room
for the new.

This is a damn joke!

Uh...

Never mind.
He'll get over it.

Okay, but this is
the only holiday left, right?

You get this, you'll never

have to make another
commercial again.

Even an old man like me

knows you get the best deals
at Thoreau's.

Any more stupid shit
to do?

Well,
that was interesting.

I hope I didn't step
on your toes too much.

As long as the client is happy,
I'm happy.

For a minute, I thought
we were gonna go down in flames.

But, like you said, I think
that we're gonna have something

that is going to be seared
in people brains.

I was just dancing
as fast as I could there.

You have a certain knack.

Cobbling together a bunch

of stupid shit.
Yeah, I agree with that.

Stupid is good.

No, it takes a smart man
to know when that's true.

Yeah.

Um, well, thanks.

But I, uh...
used to act,

but you know how that is,
so...

Little secret --

directing's the only thing
in this business

where they let us old farts
stick around.

I think they think
we're wise.

Anyway...

Where's Owen?
I want to thank him.

I'm sorry, babe.

I know.

It's not right.

You have all the kids,
your own work stuff going on.

Just...

We just have to
turn the corner.

I know.
It's okay.

This is what
you have to do now.

This is for us, too.

It's just...

We miss you.

I miss you, too.

So come back soon,
okay?

Hi, pack rat.

So, how did it go?
Was a star born?

No,
I actually got replaced.

What?

Oh, God, you didn't rap,
did you?

No.

We just -- we found
a better way to do it,

much simpler,
much stupider.

- Lawrence is in it.
- Ah!

It's gonna be great.

Well, you really don't want to
be the Thoreau car guy.

No.

Hey.
Hmm?

Look what I did today.

To remind us of when
we were young and foolish.

It's hard to believe
that used to be us, huh?

Thanks. I guess.

Mmm.

I'm beat.

Oh, me, too.
I'm exhausted.

I unpacked almost
two whole boxes today.

Oh, my God!
Two whole boxes?

Hey.

I got shit I need.

Yeah, yeah.

Well,
we're about to open,

but, yeah, yeah,
come on in, man.

Where's
all your employees?

You know, you ought to
make them come in

at the butt crack of dawn
and open up.

Yeah, me being the boss,
it's got to be me.

How are you? Haven't seen you
in a while, man.

How you feeling?

Like ass.
I got cancer, remember?

Oh, yeah, I remember.

Still doing it, though?
The chemo?

Of course I am.

Actually,
I'm in the market for a wig.

We got a whole bunch.
Those are all jokey, but...

What do you think?
Is it me?

Yeah. Like that.
You want it? You got it.

You know what? I'll throw in
the employee discount for you.

That's real nice of you.

How about we just take it out
of what you owe me?

What I owe you?

Bill called me up,
dipshit.

Oh.

Did you seriously think
you could trust that guy?

He's desperate --
Look, look, look, it was just --

you know, one night,
you were falling asleep,

that's it.
Just one game.

And you said you didn't
want it, so --

was it, Joe?

Come on, man.
Look, you're sick.

That's right!
I am sick.

Come on!
I didn't mean anything by it!

Oh, of course you didn't,
'cause you're an addict.

And addicts, oh,

they just can't help themselves,
right, Joe?

Well, you know what I say?
I say bullshit. Bullshit!

Come on, Manfro!

I'll pay you back!

I thought you were
my friend, Joe!

I was gonna pay you back.
Stop it!

Come on, come on.
Let's just talk about this.

Get off of me!

Look what you
made me do!

My tooth.

Just go. Go, man.
'Cause my employees are gonna --

Come on!

You know, they can save
the tooth sometimes

if you go to the dentist
right away!

And put it in milk.

You okay, buddy?

Yeah,
I'm having a great day!

Joe?

Hey. Hey, give me a hand,
will ya?

I'm trying
to find a tooth.

Joe!

Why would
some homeless guy

just come into the store
and beat you up?

How should I know?

I saw the guy. At least,
I think it was the guy.

I think he came there
to rob you

and just didn't expect
anybody to be there.

He didn't even touch
the cash register.

So I don't know.
What the hell?

Let's just get there,
'cause I don't know

how long this thing's
gonna stay alive.

Okay?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute. This is your dentist?

What other dentist
would I go to?

Why? They take forever.
They'll just send you --

Joe.

Dori. Hi.

Oh, my God,
is that --

Joe was attacked.

Look, I'm the one
who brought him here.

I totally forgot.
I'm the jackass, not him.

I'll get
an exam room prepped.

He should go in
right away.

Thanks.

Sorry.

Little old for fistfights,
aren't we there, Mr. Tranelli?

Yeah.

I don't see any lacerations
on the gums.

We'll just stick the little guy
back in the socket

and just splint it
to the surrounding teeth.

Better get you numb.
Dori, I need you in here!

Last guy I did this for
was in a car wreck.

Tooth broke right through
the bottom lip.

It was
just dangling there.

And then there was
this woman came in.

She had her front teeth
broken.

Turns out she was
a professional wrestler.

Took a chair
smack in the kisser.

People say that that
professional wrestling

is all fake.

I guess they didn't tell
whoever she was wrestling.

Okay.
Bite down now for me.

Hmm.
Looks pretty good.

Okay, well, I want to see you
back here again in a week,

and we'll see
how it's holding.

- Okay.
- Unless there's some pain or swelling.

I'll need you in 3
when you're finished in here.

Dori, wait.

Just, um...

You were right.

Joe --

You were.

About everything.

I just...

I didn't think so.

I, uh --

I thought
I was a good guy.

I need you in 3.

Okay.

I got to go.

I called the store --
I told them to,

you know, close up and leave
everything where it is.

I figured you'd want the police
to look at the damage

or take photos, or somethin'.
Right?

Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

Somebody...

...Should get over there
and do something.

Joe?

Oh, hi.

I'll wait for you
downstairs.

Okay?

Look,
I just want to say...

I'm sorry.

Well, no, you know,

I shouldn't have gotten
all heavy on you in there.

No.

I just -- I should have at least
given you an explanation.

It's just...

When you told me about
that big bet you made...

Hey...

You saw what you saw.

It was scary.
I-I was --

No. I had to
break it off,

but I just want you
to know

that it wasn't
some little thing...

meeting you.

I screwed up
so many things.

Well, hey, don't let
bad Joe win, okay?

'Cause...

'Cause good Joe's
kind of awesome.

I thought I pushed --
I thought I pushed "down."

Now, call me if you need
anything, okay?

Yeah, yeah.
I'll be okay.

Thanks.

Carlos.
