Okay, now you can see why I

wanted to do this by myself.

I know, I know.

That being said, you know, Elliot did do

a really nice job on Marilyn's kitchen.

Yeah, and she paid for it.

Maybe this is all too much.

Maybe I just change the venue.

I rethink the whole fundraiser. We can

do it somewhere... No, no, no, no, no.

We're doing it here. You want it here.

It's end of story.

We've already spent so

much on the house already.

All right, well, maybe we don't

need to reinvent the wheel.

Let's just have everything that

has been started finished.

Yeah. I'll ask around.

Hold on.

Ah, it's partner. I

gotta take this.

Okay. Hey, what'd they say?

All right, all right, all right.

Let me just go to my office.

Make sure we get them to...

Yeah, trust me, I know all the

tricks that work down at that office.

Hey, uh, can you help me out?

I'm looking for a contractor.

I need to have some work done over at the house.

You know of anybody?

I thought you were

taking care of it. Yeah,

I was gonna try to, but Liz has this big

event coming up in a couple of weeks,

and she wants to get

everything done.

She's had a couple

of quotes done.

Ninety thousand?

I was hoping to get it

done for more like forty.

Expensive, isn't it?

We're putting ours off

until business picks up.

Ah, well, thought

it was worth a try.

Hey, you're gonna call me after

you talk to the D.A., right?

You got it. All

right, sounds good.

In addition to our

award-winning product design,

our firm has earned an A+ rating

from the Better Business Bureau,

so you know you're

in good hands.

Mr. Chase, if you've taken

a look at our proposal,

I hope you'll agree that you're

not going to find better design

or higher quality at

this price point.

Mr. Chase, are you still there?

Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.

Um...

Yeah, you know what? I think

50,000 is a little bit much.

Um, I'm not really looking for anything

Better Homes and Gardens, but, uh...

These figures are very competitive.

Oh, I know, I know.

It's just, uh, I was not

looking to spend that much.

If you change your mind, let me know.

All right. Yeah, thanks.

Desert Sun Contracting.

Oh, hi, uh, my name

is Paul Chase.

I was looking to get some

remodeling work done,

and a friend of mine just sent

me the link to your website.

It really looks great. You're

doing great work. Thank you.

The site was my wife's idea.

She's always telling me I

gotta market myself better.

How can I help you, Mr. Chase?

My wife and I

just bought a house, and, uh, there

was some work that needed to be done,

and I was trying to

do it, but, uh...

You need someone to finish it. I know.

Happens all the time.
