Everybody moving, making money, right?

While we standing still, being broke.

I figured all this sh*t out, man.|All this.

The world moves forward|through transactions.

Commerce, nigga.

The exchange of goods and services.

All the real ballin',|successful folks are sellers.

All the broke people playing|catch-up are buyers.

I ain't trying to go out like that.|I'm gonna be a seller.

I'm gonna get my own business.

Change the game.

You want to sell clothes?

Like the man who came to the phone|company selling dresses. Remember?

Cute ass.

-Women's or men's clothes?|-Women's.

Women buy clothes every other day.

But you need to know about women.

I know all about females.

You hear your son?

-You're a bad boy.|-Believe me.

Are you trying to be a salesman|or a shyster?

You buy from a shyster,|you feel like you got took.

You buy from a good salesman|and you feel lucky.

A good salesman makes you|feel so good...

...you'll go back again to give|more and more money.

That sounds like sex.

-What else should I know?|-Sizes.

You gotta know a woman's size|on sight.

Don't wait for her to tell you.|Just know.

-Compliment them, even if they ugly.|-Especially if they are.

-Like Bernice.|-She's big.

They'll be your regulars.

You need to know her favorite|color, what's in season....

And fabrics.|How it feels on our skin.

What's an average size?

I'm a size 5-6. That's average.

For who? A white girl?

Jody, I'm a size 1 6|and that's average too.

-Remember that, you'll make money.|-It's best on payday.

Rachel?

My name is Joseph Summers.|My friends call me Jody.

You want to be my friend?

I wonder if I could|talk to your customers...

...show them my merchandise.

I didn't want to come in and talk|to people without your blessing.

What you selling?

You see this? That's your color.

You're an earth-tone woman.|It match your hair.

Feel how soft that is right there.|See that?

See? See how soft that is?

This is from Paris, France.

You'll change the game with this.|It's couture.

Girl, that's polyester blend.|You pop it in the dryer and go.

This dress is perfect for you.

It's an all-purpose style.|All-purpose dress.

You know what that means?

You can wear it to work,|go straight to happy hour.

Them pants got happy hour|written all over them.

Baby, I ain't gonna lie to you.

Them is one of a kind. Explosive!

You see anyone with them pants on,|you can come bite me.

It ain't happening.

How much?

I'll let it go for $40.

Forty dollars?!

Look, $35. That's the lowest I can go.|You're killing me.

Okay, 35.
