- How about a tall cool one?
- Can't serve you nothin' before noon.
Get you a beer right down there.
They got air conditioning.
But it's a hot spot.
Thank you.
(# "The Stroke" by Billy Squire)
(man) l appreciate all your help but l'm
just not sure if that's what l'm lookin' for.
You're not payin' for a lot of things you
don't need. No power steerin' or nothin'.
l think it's about in your price range.
Yes, sir.
- Why don't you just give me a call?
- OK, then.
- lt's a hot day, isn't it?
- lt sure is.
- What's your name?
- l'm Mr Haynes.
Mr Haynes. Harry Madox. l noticed you
walkin' away from this new car here.
- Are you interested in a new car?
- Yes, l am.
You obviously know automobiles because
we've had this one come back to us twice.
But l got one here l wanna show you.
This is the same car that l drive. l have not
had one minute's hard time with this car.
Come in here. Jump right in there
and see how that baby feels. Hop in.
Yes, sir, the stylin'
on this car is tremendous.
Who the hell is that guy out there?
Darned if l know.
l gotta git. l'm late for Little League.
- (Haynes) l like the headroom.
- lsn't that something?
lt's like this car was made
for a cowboy hat.
Let me run inside and see
what kind of deal l can work for you.
l'll just wait right here.
Wave your hands around
and talk like you own the place.
l do own this place.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
- Sellin' a car.
- Like hell you are.
l just did.
l got $100 off your down payment.
to stay the same, partner.
But l want you to look at
that low monthly payment.
- That's the best you can do?
- You're not gonna beat that anywhere.
- We got a deal.
- All right, you old rascal, you.
l'll tell you what. l believe you've got
the finest automobile we've got on the lot.
l believe it's my personal favourite.

# Gotta find my baby
(police radio) unit five, l got a report
from unit six. They say they're sufferin'.
They got lane number one.
You and Elmer take lane three and four.
that the truck is in lane two.
So that's a roger. Keep me in mind.
l'm expected.
- Where do l park this thing?
- lt's good, right where you're at.
l'm Gulick. l'm the other salesman.
You must be Mr Madox.
Harry.
- How's business?
- Pretty fair.
Tyre kickers couldn't have much trouble
finding the place, that's for sure.
Shouldn't chew that stuff.
lt's bad for you.
Madox, l want you to go out
with Miss Harper this morning.
Who's Miss Harper? And go where?
There's a repo out in the county.
Deadbeat by the name of Sutton.
And don't take any guff.
l'm tired of chasing that son of a b*tch
all over, the first day of every month.
Sorry, nothin' doin'. Our deal
was for straight commission, remember?
What the f*** are you talkin' about?
l don't make any money
running errands for you.
- Maybe you won't like this job.
- Maybe l won't.
Mr Harshaw?
Gloria.
Gloria Harper. This is Madox.
Mr Harshaw,
maybe l could just talk to Mr Sutton?
l've always managed to collect before.
Forget it. You've got better things to do for
me than run that SOB down every month.
- l just thought...
- Dammit, Gloria.
Who's runnin' this place?
Get the hell outta here.
- l'll get Lon to drive you.
- l'll take her.
Oh. l thought you were sufferin'
from too full a schedule.
lt cleared up.
Why don't you make up your mind
who you're workin' for?
- This is a business, not a club!
- Where's the green LTD?
Think we ought to come in like this
when he's not here?
Probably not.
The man married?
l don't think so.
He... He gets his drinkin' water
from a spring down behind the house.
l'm just gonna go down
to see if he's there.
- l'll go with you.
- lt's OK.
l'm OK. You can just wait here.
- We can come back later.
- Oh, no, l found him.
He was down at the spring.
And he paid me. Both payments.
Must be a fast talker.
Glad l don't owe you any money.
(engine revs)
Hey! You folks lookin' for me?
(whispers) l need to talk to you...
Well, surely, Miss Harper.
A man of my type always enjoys talkin'
to a woman of your evident quality.
- Sutton?
- The same. The very same.
Miss Harper, ain't you gonna introduce
me to your gentleman acquaintance?
No.
Another time, perhaps.
Please.
(Gloria whispers)
l'll take care of this thing. l always do.
l think l can live with that.
Sure you folks won't stay for lunch?
Another time.
Wow.
That was about as much fun
as kissin' a passed-out drunk.
l guess l just don't have Sutton's charm.
You liked him so much you had
to go back and talk to him twice.
- Once at the spring...
- All right, l lied about it.
Now can you just leave me be?
Sutton a relative of yours?
OK, kid. Maybe l got it wrong.
Maybe l got it wrong.
l hope that's not that sleazy hotel l'm in.
Forgot to get my suit insured.
Come on. Move it on through.
Gloria...
- Miss Harper.
- lt's my baby, Harry. Remember?
Did you get that car?
No. The guy paid Miss Harper.
Gloria! You'll just have to do the whole
damn thing over again next month.
l hope not, Mr Harshaw.
What was the fire down there? The gin?
No. Hamburger joint this side of it.
Maybe l'll go take a look.
How about hangin' around
while l go to lunch?
Sure. As soon as l get back from mine.
