Larry Crowne Page #2

Ooh, Larry! Dance lessons from the '50s.

You don't have any of these, I promise.

He can't afford them. He lost his job.

They let him go.

- Oh, Larry. I'm so sorry.

- Yeah.

And we gonna get him something better

than a job.

- An education.

- Oh!

Get you some knowledge

and you'll be fireproof.

Oh, yeah, that's right, Larry.

You're never too old to learn.

Just listen to my husband.

He hasn't called The Man boss in years.

Oh, yeah, I remember why.

Yeah! Yeah! I won! I won!

Whoo! I won all this money!

Well, Uncle Sam took his half.

That's gonna be 50 cents for the book.

They give these away for free.

Well, they do. I don't.

- Ten cents.

- Four dimes, two nickels.

- Twelve cents.

- Half a buck.

- Seventeen cents.

- One dollar and I'll take half off.

Keep it.

Larry, okay, 35 cents, Larry.

Dave Busik, Dean of Student Services.

Oh. Larry Crowne.

Nice to meet you, Larry.

Back to college, huh?

No, no, this is the first time ever for me.

I was in the Navy for 20 years.

Coast Guard. Adventure of a lifetime.

I was a cook.

Culinary specialist.

We teach a whole track

in hotel and restaurant food preparation.

Oh, no, no, no, no, I did that long enough.

Then I got into a whole different

line of work, until I was downsized.

I'm here to make sure

that never happens again.

Say, did you ever think about studying

tai chi?

- No, sir.

- Cured my diabetes, no lie.

I recommend Speech 217.

"The Art of Informal Remarks."

"From toasts to job interviews,

Speech 217 will teach you

how to communicate

with ease and confidence."

This class'll change your life.

And you'll like the teacher.

You ready to go to work? How about this?

- Speech 217, Econ 1...

- You bet.

- ...Composition 1. You learn how to talk.

- Right.

You learn how to do business, and you

learn how to write about it.

Three classes, but you're gonna

have to get in there, work.

I'm telling you,

every cop has to stop me, man.

Well, maybe

it's the leather jacket.

- No, it's not.

- Talia gave me this jacket, man.

She said I'd look like a brown James Dean.

Who's James Dean?

Hey! What's cooking there, Joe College?

Can you get this hunk of junk working?

I don't sell junk.

Let me get my good tools.

Larry Crowne. You've got a lot of

money in those albums of yours.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

They'll sell on the eBay.

I can show you how.

You know this machine is a classic, right?

Yeah, okay. But does it work?

It will for $800.

Oh, Lamar, I'm thinking like 200.

Okay. 700.

- 200.

- 650.

- Gonna be a long day with those two.

- Mmm-hmm.

- 630.

- 200.

Lamar, I have no money.

I'm out of a job. $200.

You're my neighbour.

625, and I'll throw in the oil change.
