Grilled Page #3

Synopsis: In L.A., Maurice and Dave sell steaks - high-end cuts of beef. They've hit a patch of no sales, and they're facing being fired. Maurice needs money to enroll in his final semester of acupuncture school, and the recently-separated Dave needs money for his daughter's birthday gift. Their final client card: a beautiful woman opens the door, and she's attracted to Maurice, but a desperate call from a suicidal friend interrupts her signing the contract. Still hoping to close the sale, Maurice and Dave offer to drive her to the friend's house, and there, troubles multiply. Facing guns, hitmen, and women's secrets, a sale is the farthest thing from their minds. Are they about to be grilled?

in luck, you're a schmuck.

You used to kill, Maury.

What happened?

- Things change, Dick.

- Forget it, Maury.

Dick, it's me,

all right?

Just tell my kid I loved her.

I'm gonna go find a ledge.

Don't be so

f***ing dramatic.

I'll give you something.

These are the best

I have today.

There's a deal in here,

God damn it, maybe two.

If you don't

write any business with these,

then we gotta

say goodbye.

I need closers

who close.

Now come on,

you guys are pros.

Don't press,

for Christ's sake.

I want you to go eat a good breakfast,

have an extra Danish,

then go write

some business.

Stay cool, boys.

It's gonna be a scorcher.

He could be here.

Perfect prospect.

A leaf from God.

I'm ready for him.

See, when I think

of that guy,

something happens.

Something kicks in.

I know. I know.

You get very excited.

- Oh.

- Nice, very nice.

Very good.

- Bye.

- Bye.

She's a very

fast learner.

I started teaching her

about three years ago.

Now she gives me lessons,

but not piano.

I'll tell you something.

With our program,

you'll be able to save a sizable portion

of your music teacher salary.

It's the right thing

to do, Leon. Take it.

It's very attractive, I must say.

Let me think about it.

- Go ahead.

- Think about it.

He wants

to think about it.

Leon.

Beethoven... do you think

he thought to himself,

"Hey, should I write..."?

No, he wrote it.

And thank God he did.

It's the right thing to do, Leon.

Take it.

If I'm not gonna be a great composer,

at least I can eat well.

Next year I'm gonna

be out to here.

I'll tell you

something else,

even if you and that pretty little lady

there decide to tie the knot,

we just make

a few adjustments.

You too.

We talk

about that a lot.

I should marry her,

shouldn't I?

When I look at her, I can tell she

just wants to be your wife.

Fellas, it's a sweet deal,

but I think I should...

run it by Karen.

When she moves in here,

my fridge is gonna be her fridge.

So why don't you

just leave your card

and we'll discuss it?

Take it.

Hold the pen!

You don't talk.

Yeah,

the next move is his.

He's only got one move.

- He takes the pen.

- He takes the pen, I know.

Why didn't you

give me a signal or something?

I don't care.

Give me the finger.

- I shushed you.

- You can't shush me.

I'm locked in, I'm not gonna hear that.

Touch my leg. That's all.

Jesus, Davey,

I gotta finish this semester.

Then six months

of clinical, I'm a doctor.

L... I know.

My father would

have known that,

then... wow.

He'd still be dead, but with a different

expression on his face.

He'll know.

I don't think he ever

thought of me as a man.

You know, my father?
