I am a headhunter and I am the
purest form of salesman alive.
I sell the American dream.
I make money out of thin air,
smoke, whole cloth.
I stand on the shoulders
of giants,
the hardest of
hardened salesmen.
Tin men, bible salesmen,
slum realtors.
We're a wolf pack of
commissioned phone jockeys
working 70 hours a week without
a net. You hit, you hit big.
You blank, and the repo man's
tailgating...
the minivan
at the grocery store.
This job is a desk, a phone,
a chair and your ass.
Good morning, Imperial
Automotive Manufacturing,
Dottie speaking.
I am who I say I am.
Johnny Cobra calling, Dot. Need
the name of your Plant Manager.
To give out names of employees.
Nature of your business, sir?
The nature of my business,
Dottie,
is that I'm down here
at the Nissan plant
Because your Quality Department
thinks they can run
a freightliner full of injection
molded crap down my goddamn
throat!
The person that you need to
speak to is Mr. Rayburn, I'll...
First name,
first name, first name.
Thomas is his first name.
- Dottie...
- What?
Relax. Take a deep breath.
Pat yourself on the back,
Uh, Mr... Did you say "Cobra"?
Call me Johnny.
Young, old, play sports, college
boy, what am I dealing with?
I know Tommy does
play golf a lot.
He's been working here a couple,
three years, probably...
Chitchat's over, Dot. Boss
is on my ass. Patch me through.
Rayburn.
Dane Jensen,
Blackridge Recruiting.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yeah, hold up, hold up, bud.
Lemme save us both some time;
I'm not lookin' to make
a move right just yet.
Rough as things are out there,
I'm just happy to have the job
I got. Now I'm up to my ass
in alligators,
Sweet. Baby. Jesus.
- Scuse me? Your guy? What guy?
- This isn't a random call, Tom.
I was told by
a confidential source,
even if your golf game was more
screwed up than a soup sandwich,
He also told me even though
you've only been at Imperial
for three years, that
you were bright enough
I was recruiting for
So. You're a headhunter, huh?
I am a headhunter.
And a headhunter cometh.
What's the deal
with this gut, son?
You need to get some exercise,
buddy, you're starting to look
like the kind of kid
Willy Wonka'd kick out...
of the chocolate factory.
Hands up.
I dunno... we could
play a little football
when you get home tonight.
and I don't have any calls
to make, we'll see.
- Good morning.
- Hey, hon.
Ryan eat breakfast?
- If you can call it that.
- He likes cereal and it's easy.
Of course he does, Elise,
what kid doesn't like
colored marshmallows swimming
in whole milk?
Momma.
I like your hair, Lauren,
looks good on you.
The point is, he's a mess.
Shh! Be quiet, he'll hear you!
Anyway, I made an appointment
for him to see the doctor.
What the hell for, his weight?
No! I told you a week ago,
he's tired all the time
and those bruises...
- Bruises?
- Can I have chocolate milk?
- Sure you can, baby.
- Yeah, just a sec.
Who's calling you so early?
Just some candidate.
Pushing sixty and wonders
why he can't find a job.
Because of his age?
That's awful.
Okay.
Gotta go.
drive into the city,
we could get lunch...?
First of the month, hon,
swamped. Call me! Oh...
Either manage Bob to get a deal
or make the son of a b*tch quit
so I don't have to pay...
unemployment on his lazy ass.
Ed, how do you propose
I force the man to quit?
