Hold Your Finish
Original Air Date on July 7, 2011>

Hey, good morning.
Glad to see you.

Hey.

I'm in the right place, right?
Free car wash?

Yeah, pull up and, uh --
you know, it might be a minute.

Um, you can leave your car
with one of our technicians

and take a look around
the showroom, if you'd like.

Oh.
Knew there had to be a catch.

Oh, no. No pressure.

Uh, have a cup of Joe.

All right.



Didn't know you were
with us today, Daddy.

Lot of salesmen
on car-wash duty.

A lot of salesmen building
relationships with customers.

I see.

No, I don't.

I saved me a pot o' gold
at Thoreau.



You can't stop watching it
either, huh?

Uh, no, no.

It's just...this would have been
better if I'd had more time, that's all.

Oh, own
the brilliance, dude.

Since those commercials
hit the air,

this place
has been humming.

You want to drive to lunch
or should I?

Unless that's your up.

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, that's my up.

Lawrence,
why don't you take it?

Really?
The month ends tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Don't hurt yourself.

You're getting cocky.

Eh, the universe will give me
what it wants to give me.

I thought you were
off the pot.

Can you believe
this stupid machine?

Ate up
the whole security tape.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I'm telling you,
my old man's driving me crazy --

just sits there in the corner
like a stuffed bear.

His head doesn't move,

but I can feel his eyes
following me everywhere I go.

You got to cut the guy
some slack.

These old dudes --
they don't retire well.

Just not good
with free time.

Aah, damn it.

You okay?

Yeah. Whoo.

My tooth is sensitive.

Every time I drink cold water,
it just -- it shocks a nerve.

Oh, man,
it hurts like crazy.

So, why are you
drinking cold water?

I know, right? Why?

It's like --
you know what it is?

It's the pimple that it hurts
every time you touch it.

You still got to do it.

No, but damn it, it hurts.

How crazy is fate, huh?

Homeless guy knocks
your tooth out,

and you get
to see Dori again.

Wait. Dori.
Uh, blind-date Dori?

Yeah. Yeah, thanks
for bringing me to her.

I'm sure she got
real turned on

watching me drool
all over myself.

Hey, you never know.
She is a dental hygienist.

Yeah.
You should call her.

No, I'm not gonna call her.

Happy Birthday.

Uh-huh.

And I'll take that
whenever.

Thank you.

What's with the muffin?
Yeah, uh --

Yeah, is today your...
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
...Birthday, birthday?

Had to do it, right?

I tell you not to do it,
and now look at this.

I got
a three-month-old muffin

that's gonna make me crap
all day.

All right, here's to hitting
the ground running.

Turn 50 today, play your first
pro tournament tomorrow, huh?

How many times
I got to tell you?

It's not a pro tournament.

It's the prequalifier --
I told you that --

to get
into the tournament.

There's 100 guys playing
for 5 spots.

Okay.
Yeah, yeah. You suck. We know.

Yeah, I mean, you almost
pussed out, but you didn't.

You're gonna take
that great what-if

that's been itching you,

and you are gonna scratch
the hell out of it.

Really, I'm good.
I'm good.

I don't need
or want a pep talk.

Fine.
I can't be there, anyway.

But I'll be rooting for you...
In my mind.

Why you got
to make it sexual?

It's your birthday.

Yeah.
I'll be there,

cheering loud enough
for the both of us.

Really?
Your boss know?

If he keeps selling cars
the way he has been,

he can take
the whole month off.

Huh. Oh, cool.

Yeah.

Mm. Oh, here we go.

Here we go.

Nope. Hold on.

Don't punch the muffin.

Got a fully enclosed trunk.

Wow.
This is a really nice car.

Yeah.

I-I don't think I can pull
the trigger on this right now.

Yeah, well,
decisions are hard.

I mean, you know, look.
You look at those birds.

Think they worry
like we do?

No.

When one bird wants to fly away,
he just goes.

He doesn't check in
with any other birds.

Yeah, he's got wings.
He can -- he can just go.

That's right.

Yeah! Whoo!

Surprise! Surprise!
Happy Birthday.

Oh, come on, guys.

I tell you, you don't have
to get me anything.

Here.

Oh. All right.

What could this be?

Golf balls!
Oh, I wish I played.

Look inside, goof.

Oh, you painted them,
like you used to.

Oh.

Thanks, Lucy.
It's great.

Here.

What'd you make me,
lunch?

Is this my dad's?

Yeah.

Uh, last time we were
at grandpa's,

I saw his old clubs in the
garage, and -- I don't know --

I thought it'd make
a good good-luck charm.

So you stole it.

Thanks.
Albert, this is great.

Plus, I can always sneak it back
after we play tomorrow --

I mean,
after we win tomorrow.

Okay, all right.
Just don't get your hopes up.

No. You're gonna win.

Yeah, you got to.
We don't want a loser for a dad.

Okay.
Happy Birthday, Dad.

All right.
Yeah, good night.

Oh, shit.

Thanks, Kelly. I really
appreciate the extra 30 days.

Okay, bye.

Hey, O, you got a second?
Yeah. What's up?

Well, it's just, you know,
we, uh, made those commercials,

and, you know, I think, uh --

well, I think they
came out pretty good.

Um, I mean, it could have been better.
Better how?

I mean, that goofy shit with Lawrence
has brought in more traffic

than any spot senior's done
in the last five years.

But don't say that
in front of him.

No. Wow.

I'm glad that you think that.
It makes this easier.

Um...I'm quitting.

Again?
Well, no, O, I'm serious.

Making those commercials,

I-I really --
I felt like myself again.

You know, I'm not really built
for selling cars.

You're tied for first in sales this month.
I know.

Actually,
I just sold a Corvette.

Look, I don't want to be
the shrink here,

but this is the same shit
you've been doing

since the day I met you.

You've got a good thing
going on here.

You're looked up to,
making a good buck.

You're getting comfortable.

But because you've been
uncomfortable for so long,

that actually feels wrong
to you.

So you're, um,
searching for something new.

That was true in the past,
but this is different.

Working here has shown me

how much I can do
when I apply myself,

and I really appreciate
you giving me that chance.

So do the artsy-fartsy shit
on the side

and keep selling cars.

I need you here.

No, you don't.
That's the thing.

I mean -- I mean,
look at Lawrence.

The guy's on fire.
Carl's kicking ass.

Everybody out there,
they're kicking ass.

The stuff that you're doing --
that you are doing --

a month from now,
you won't even miss me.

You see how good you are?
What?

I'm even falling
for this shit.

Look, it's just
I know myself, right?

And if I hang around, I'll just
put all that stuff second.

O...Kay.

Um, I-I knew
this day was coming,

but I hoped it'd be
10 Corvettes from now.

I'm not gonna lie to you.
It sucks you're leaving.

But, um, Terry, you sold
a hell of a lot of cars.

You did your part, saving our
asses with those commercials.

So, what does -- what does
Erin think about all this?

I'll let you know.

See what I mean?

Uncomfortable.

Dad, you know what's cool?
You just turned 50.

You're like
the youngest guy here.

It's like an advantage.

Yeah, I guess.

Okay, I'm going!

I promise these boxes
will be gone

when you get home
from work.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Two minutes.

Two minutes, and you will have
the best coffee of your life.

I'm kind of late.

No, you won't regret it,
I promise.

Hey, is it casual Monday
at work today?

No, I'm not going in. I'm gonna go
watch old men play golf, remember?

Oh, that's right. God, I wish
I worked for my best friend.

Yeah, you know, about that --
I wanted to talk to you.

I'm pretty much done there.

Kind of,
uh...I kind of quit.

Okay, I'm --
I'm confused.

When -- when --
when did you make this --

Yesterday.

You know how people
have been going bonkers

over the commercial,
right?

Uh, okay.
Right?

And I got to tell you,
it's been pretty exciting,

and it's made me want to do
something creative again.

This about acting?

No, no, actually.
Directing.

Wow.

Yeah, and Naomi -- you know, the director
that I was telling you about --

um, she's shooting this big,
huge cellphone commercial,

uh, next week.

And she said that, you know,
if I wanted to, you know,

I could come on the set
and, um, you know,

pick her brain, and...

I-I know I'm kind of dropping
this on you right now.

I've got a class in like --
in like 20 minutes.

Okay, right,
and so, you know,

we'll just -- we'll talk
about it later, okay?

Okay, you know what?

Except after work, I got
to go drop off my keys

at my apartment --
my old apartment.

Okay, okay. So -- so --
so after that, okay?

I guess.

You're spreading
your guys too thin.

They ought to be out there
rubber-necking and puppy-dogging

and not playing valet
to a bunch of -- of freeloaders.

Well, it's a numbers game,
Daddy.

More people on the lot,
more cars off the lot.

So you expect to pry open
the fist of somebody

who drives all the way across town
just to get a free car wash?

We already got one.

Reggie just sold a Cruze

to a car-wash customer
just yesterday.

You got them
backed up to the street.

That isn't right.

What's the holdup?

I don't know,
but they're out for blood.

Didn't anybody hear me?!

Dude, what are you doing?

What do you think
I'm doing?!

And then after 10 minutes
of sitting there

with the -- with the lights
and the noise,

I-I panicked, you know,
and made a run for it.

There, there, baby new year.
Don't poop your pants.

It's not funny.
Okay, okay, guys.

Uh, give it a rest.
Here you go.

It probably just jammed
from overuse, all right?

I'll have Jesse check it.

I don't care what he does. I'm
not going back in there, okay?

You hired me to sell cars,
not wash them.

Yeah,
he's kind of right.

Why are we even doing
this thing?

Well, we're doing this thing
because, um,

I thought it would help us
sell more cars.

Who needs help?

I've sold more cars this month
than I ever have.

Um, yeah, well, um...

Uh, this place is
so far in the red

that, um, I need you
to sell even more.

Yeah, screw it.
I mean, you're all adults.

It's time you should know
what's going on around here.

We were not ready
for this recession,

and it kicked our asses bad.

Thoreau's not dead --

not yet --
but to get stronger,

I need you all to step it up
even further.

I believe
in what we're doing here.

I believe in you guys.
All right?

And I know that together, we can
come up with all kinds of ideas

that'll put us
right back on top again,

because otherwise, I got to keep
that car wash running,

and, um, let's be honest --
that thing sucks, right?

I mean, whose shitty idea
was that, anyway?

Oh, man, I don't know

whether to keep my gap wedge
or my lob wedge.

If my driver's working,
then I want my gap wedge.

But, oh, this course
plays long.

Take the gap wedge.

Yeah? Why?

'Cause now it's lucky.

Yeah, okay.

Guy's got to listen
to his caddie, right?

Good luck, man.

Now on the tee, from Reseda,
California, Greg Ristich.

Hey, hey, what's that?
You okay?

I'm praying.

Should I stop?

No.

No, no.
You give it all you got.

Now on the tee,

from Los Angeles, California,
Joe Tranelli.

Whoo!

Nice job.
Yeah.

Hey, you too.

Sorry about
the inconvenience, folks.

Hey.
But the car wash is out of order.

Uh, okay.

Well, I guess this contract
doesn't mean much then, huh?

Well, it's not exactly
a contract. It's a promotion.

But, um -- hey,
weren't you here yesterday?

Yeah. It says -- it says
right here, "all month."

It doesn't say there's
a limit, so, yeah.

Right,
but, unfortunately,

we're just, uh, not up
and running today.

But, um, I can offer you an oil change --
No. Nope, nope.

I drove out of my way on account
of the free car wash.

This place is a joke.

Stop lying to people!

Hey, Lucy,
how's he doing?

Great.
He's got this for birdie.

What do you think?

Looks straight to me.

Yeah. All right.

Yeah!
Thatababy!

You the man, Joe.

Sorry.
He is my friend.

And, uh, he is --
he is the man.

Hey, that wasn't so bad.

I think we even steered
a few of them to service.

What the hell was that?

Excuse me?

Airing our laundry in front
of the entire sales staff.

That is
our private business.

Daddy, you -- you handle things
your way. I'll handle mine.

Oh, I can see that --
car-wash scams and leprechauns.

Bait and switch!

Now what the hell
is that?

Bait and switch!
Stop Thoreau!

Son of a bitch.

All right, you can't pray
every hole.

He's gonna cut you off.

We've got
too many clubs.

What?

The wedge -- I meant to take it to
the car after the range, but, uh --

Mr. Tranelli,
you're on the tee.

Uh, we got 15 clubs.

There was a mix-up
on the range,

but, yeah, um,
we're over the limit.

That's
a 2-stroke penalty.

Yeah, we know.

Tranelli --
2-stroke penalty.

You're on the tee.

Yeah.

Dad, I'm so sorry.

That's okay.
It's all right, man.

It happens.

Oh, come on, Joe.

It's all right.
It's okay.

He's just having a couple
of bad holes.

He'll turn it around.

I can't believe this.

Hey, hey, hey.
What's up?

What's going on?

You played
the first hole perfect.

And then I screwed up, and now
you're playing like crap.

And you're gonna bogey
this hole,

and then you've got
no chance at this.

Hey, you know, uh,

caddie's supposed
to stay positive, Albert.

Why'd you bring me here? I'm --
I'm ruining this for you.

I-I just can't believe I forgot
that stupid club!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You didn't forget the club.

We forgot the club.

If you didn't notice it
when you did,

I would've got a penalty on the
next hole, I'd be 5 over right now.

Hey, look, look, look.

Albert.

Come on,
we're in this together --

you, me, even Lucy with
her little pink butterflies.

We're a team, okay?
I need you.

I need you right here,
right now,

not back on the range, where
we can't change a damn thing.

Okay?

Okay.

All right.

You got any advice
for me?

'Cause I'm kind of shitting
the bed right now.

Why don't you just play
like you played the first hole?

Yeah, okay.
I'm gonna try that.

And, hey,
I'm sorry I cursed,

but, um, I was just trying
to get you,

you know, focused.

Bait and switch!
Stop Thoreau!

Bait and switch!
Hey, hey, hey!

What's your problem, man?
I just want to be heard.

The whole world's out to scam
a buck, and I have had it!

Bait and switch! Stop Thoreau!
Okay, look. Uh, look.

It was wrong of us to promise
something we couldn't deliver,

so, uh, what I'd like to do
is wash your car right now.

Hand wash, detail, whole works.
What do you say?

Well, I guess
that sounds fair.

I just want
what is fair.

Yeah. Um, grab his keys,
and, uh, let's get him started.

All right.

No, no, no, no.
Stop right there, Lawrence.

Freebies are over.

Really?

I have a flyer, sir,

that you put on my car.

I didn't put shit.

Daddy, Dad--

That's fine.

I'm not leaving until I get
my car washed.

Off of my property,
wacko!

Daddy!

Good.
No, that's good.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Show the world how you treat
your customers.

Freak show's over. Freak show's over.
Let go of me! Daddy!

Let's go!

I'm getting this.
I am getting this.

Damn it, Daddy! Stop!

Sky hook!

I'll see you
in court!

So, what the hell
was that all about?

I was getting him
to leave.

Well, now he's gone
for good.

Who are you trying to beat here,
Daddy, him or me?

The hell is that
supposed to mean?

Go out there
and get that damn thing

before it gives somebody
a flat tire.

Come on.

Uh...

You don't have
to do that, Lawrence.

Somebody get that damn thing
out of the road.

Oh, so that's
how it's gonna be, huh?

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!

Get your hands off of me.

This place is beyond repair.

How's your day going?

Great.

Well, that makes
one of us.

Well, maybe not great.

Kind of got into a thing
with Erin this morning,

you know, and I'm starting
to feel like,

you know, maybe I screwed
everything up.

And, you know, I-I really don't want
that to happen this time, be...

Oh, geez, sorry.

Sorry, Joe.
Everything's great.

175 front,
88 to the pin.

You can punch out to 110
and get up and down for bogey.

Yeah,
how about a hard cut?

Hold your finish.

Yep.

Whoa! Thataboy, Joe!

We're done making bogeys.

Oh, not the water.

Whoo!

Come on, you mother.

Golf shot.

Thanks.

Yeah!

Whoo!

Dad, if you knock this in,
you'll be tied for fifth.

You'll make the cut.

I kind of wish
I didn't know that.

Drain it, Joe.
Yeah.

Come on, Dad.
You can do it.

What do you think?

Mind's-eye that shit.

You're focused, right?

Yeah.

Oh!

All right,
um, sixth place.

He's still in the hunt.
He's still alive.

Somebody might screw up.

Oh, Joe.

Too bad.

It was damned exciting.

Yeah, until the end,
right?

Well, I don't know.

Kind of like, um, "Rocky,"
you know?

You put up a good fight,
you didn't make the cut,

but so what.

You're gonna get
back into the ring.

Yeah, thanks. I appreciate it,
but, uh, really, I'm fine.

I'm good.

I mean, you know,
I thought --

I thought I needed this,
but, uh...

I don't think I do.

Did you see Albert and Lucy
out there today?

Yeah.

That's enough.

It should be.

Listen, uh,
you okay if I go?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go.

I know I told you
not to come,

but glad you were a dick
and ignored me.

All right, man.

Thanks.
Yeah.

Oh. Really? Come on.

Oh, for real? For real?

Okay, uh, we're all here.

Um, I guess it'd be
an understatement to say

that, uh, these are
interesting times, right?

No, seriously.

I know that what happened
this afternoon must seem crazy.

Hell, this whole year
must seem crazy.

But I want you to know,
while our situation isn't ideal,

these are
damn good sales numbers,

and they're
only gonna get better.

But more importantly, um,

I really appreciate you
standing by me.

Um, I can't do this
without you.

All of you.

So thank you.

Yeah.
Whoo!

Well, um...

Enough of the heavy shit.

Um, without further ado,
I give you,

for the first time ever,
from worst to first,

our very own mini movie star,

Lawrence Bedard...

Ohh!
...Salesman of the month!

Oh!

Thank you.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hello?

Teddy,
where's your mother?

You know, I heard one of
the guys and his caddie

talking about a tournament
in San Diego next week.

You should go.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe. We'll see.
Okay.

Where's your brother? He's got
to be hungry, too, right?

On the course,
trying to jinx

the guys ahead of you
who haven't finished yet.

Albert, why are you doing this
to yourself?

Yeah. I know, right?

And now it's raining,
so he's gonna get soaked.

Rain?

Dad!

It's raining!

Okay, um, just take it easy.
Guys can play in the rain.

Not old guys.

Everybody out there
is toast.

Not everybody --
if this guy makes his putt,

then he and dad would have
a playoff for fifth place.

Oh, man.
That's a gimme.

But you could beat him
in a playoff.

You have a better drive,
and your mind's eye --

Okay, shush, shush, shush.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!
Oh, my!

Dad! You're in!

You're in!
You're in! You're in!

Guys, guys.

Oh, my God, dad!
Okay, easy, guys. Shh. Guys, guys, guys.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

You guys, quiet.
Oh, my God!

Quiet, quiet,
quiet, quiet.

Okay, all right, guys.

Come on. Shh, shh.

Come on.

Daddy,
about this afternoon --

No, forget about that.

The thing is, when I said
I was leaving the business,

should have left
the business.

But, you know, when you do
something for so long,

sometimes, well,
just not that simple.

Oh, Daddy,
you're always gonna be

the face of this store,
you know?

Anytime you want
to come in and --

Son, you and I can't make
a sandwich together.

No, I've had my time,

and a man should go out
with dignity.

So I talked to Scarpulla,

and I got him to up his offer
by 15%.

What?
Yeah.

You know, he was low-balling you
with that first offer.

I showed him he's not
the only one in this town

that understands a value.

He called you?

Well, it doesn't matter
how it happened.

The point is I said yes.
I'm selling.

Yeah, but -- but --
but what about our customers?

We have relationships,
and --
nonsense.

Internet killed
all of that.

And our employees?

If they're any good,
Scarpulla will snap them up.

And what about me?

Well, what do you think,

that I'm not gonna take care
of you and Melissa?

I don't want you
to take care of us.

I want to take care of us.

You should be truthful
with yourself, son.

You resented this place
every single day you were here.

All that's changed,
and you know it.

I've thrown everything

I could possibly throw
into this place.

I'm sweating blood to get us
out of the hole that you dug,

so please don't pretend.

What am I supposed to do
if you do this?

Go into real estate

or become a teacher
or some shit like that?

I've got nothing else.

Do you understand that?

This is what I do.

It's just business, son.

You are
one pathetic old man.

Alright guys.

I got to tell mom.

Yeah, not about the cursing,
all right?

That's just our thing.

Do you want to come in?
Me?

Yeah.
Um...Nah.

No, let me go.
I should get going home.

Sure? All right.
Yeah.

Or I could come
to your place.

I don't know. If you want.
No. Why?

You have...

Why? What's the matter?

I don't know.
This was a big day for you.

It seems weird for you
to have to go home and be alone.

Yeah, you don't have
to worry about me.

Okay.

No, I'm good.
I'm not gonna be alone.

I'm gonna --
look, I got these.

Mm-hmm.

I think
there's a PGA regulation

against these many colors
on a ball.

Think we'll get away
with it?

I love you, Dad.
You too.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello?

You okay?

It's almost 9:00.

I thought we pretty much
cleaned up already.

Yeah, we did.

I just came to do
a dummy check,

and I guess I got
a little nostalgic.

I mean, you know,
you're in a place 10 years,

it seems weird
to just leave it.

Yeah.

But y-you
still want to, right?

Erin, look, I --

I'm sorry for springing all that
on you this morning.

What are you doing?

I mean, you know,
we -- we rushed into this.

We -- actually, we totally
rushed into this,

and I was okay with it
because it felt right.

And, you know,
if it feels right,

why waste time, you know,
at this age?

But we're supposed to be
building a life together.

And that's what I want.

So you're gonna start
a whole new career at 50

'cause of a car commercial?

Do you follow golf
at all?

Yeah.

Of course you don't.
It's boring.

But Joe's thing,
the senior tour --

it's like a do-over,
right?

At 50, he gets to start
all over again, blank slate.

Look, I wasted
a lot of my life.

I told myself
I was working hard at acting,

and I was just drifting.

I didn't even have
a cellphone.

Now I feel like
I'm a different person,

and I want that guy
to have a shot

at what the other guy
screwed up.

And you --
you need to know

that I'm never gonna sponge
off of you

or -- or ask you to pick up
the slack.

I begged Slavitter today
for my job back

as a building manager,
you know?

So that --
I-I took care of that.

I bet that was fun.

Yeah, well, he --
he enjoyed it.

Mm-hmm.

Give me a year.

And if it
doesn't work out,

then I'll go back
to selling cars.

Olsens finally trimmed
their hedge.

No, I did that.

Couldn't wait
another five years.

Threw the clippings over
in their yard, though.

What's he gonna do,

little short Swedish
son of a bitch?

I don't know
what happened.

It's all just going away.

Daddy.

You built that place.

You gave it every ounce
of blood and sweat

that you had in you.

I understand...

...What that means now.

And you still want it?

I do.

Aah!

Hello?

Hey, hi.

Uh, Dori,
it's Joe...Tranelli.

Hey, yeah, hi, Joe.

Everything okay?

Yeah, no.
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I just, uh --
I'm just calling

'cause, um, well, I played

in the prequalifier
for the senior tournament,

and I just -- I made it
to the next round.

You're kidding!

That's great!

Congratulations.

Yeah, thank you.
Thanks.

Sort of backed in,
but, um...I did it.

Dori?

Yeah, no, I'm here.

I just --
I'm just remembering

how important
that was to you.

That is so great.

I'm -- I'm really happy
for you.

Yeah, thanks, thanks.

Um, so, anyway, I think,
uh, next week,

I'm coming in for a follow-up
on this tooth.

Are you gonna be there?

Uh...I think so.

Okay. All right, great.

So then I guess
I'll see you then.

Yeah, I guess you will.

Yeah.
Okay, I'll see you.

Bye, Joe.

Bye-bye.
