- Here are the keys. | - Thanks.

Ayles!

You deaf, or you just dumb?

It's called concentration.

- You wanna concentrate on pleasing me? | - By doing what?

Guy stuck in the hills in a dead Cabriolet. | Want to go fix him up?

- Nope. | - No?

- How about I take that 930? | - You're a dreamer.

Do yourself a favor. Get in your car. | Go out there and pick him up.

He owns the place. | Give yourself a little job security.

How about some gas money?

You got a sense of humor.

You a car thief?

Malcolm sent me.

I know. I'm just joking. I'm Ted Varrick.

Bill Ayles.

- How you doing? | - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. You're the new guy? | - Yeah, I just moved up from San Diego.

What's wrong?

If I knew what was wrong, | I guess you wouldn't be here, right?

Right. I'll take a look.

- Fixed many of these down in San Diego? | - A few.

Gonna have this car raced?

Not professionally.

You oughta pick one up for yourself.

That's what I keep telling my loan officer.

You let it out much?

As often as possible.

Hold this for me, will you?

Sure.

That should do it.

Fire it up.

Nice work.

I'm thinking maybe | I should take it for a test spin.

You wanna drive my car?

Just to make sure.

Just to make sure.

What do you think?

I think maybe we fixed it.

Yeah?

Sounds okay.

Just to make sure, | why don't you open her up a little bit.

- Faster. | - We're doing 65.

Then there's plenty left, right?

Go on. Do it.

I should have warned you | about that hairpin back there.

No problem.

It's kinda like you said. | It's good to let it out, right?

I think we definitely fixed it.

Were you scared?

No.

Me neither.

Danny, what are you? | Too good to eat with us anymore?

Yeah, I got to be careful | who I hang out with.

- How much money do you think I have? | - Yeah.

- What do you want? | - I'd like a word with you.

Come here.

- So, how's it going? | - What are you doing?

Never answer a question with a question.

I asked you, how's it going?

It's going good.

Well. Say, it's going well.

It's going well.

A little too well. Don't you think?

I'm not doing nothin to you.

That's a double negative, Danny.

- Try again. | - I'm not even stealing cars anymore.

You and your friends | stay out of my territory.

- Who were those guys? | - Insurance salesmen.

- You got a great sense of humor. | - I got a great sense of survival, too, cop.

See how you survive | in county lockup, snitch.

Who the f*** do you think they were?

They're the competition.

Thank you.

That looks like Bill.

It is Bill.

How you doing?

Mr. Varrick.

- Nice to see you. | - Good to see you.

Wanted to thank you again for | helping me out. I appreciate that.
