You live in a drought zone.

I know people who are

even filling in their pools

to make their properties

more appealing to buyers.

If you let it go past 30 days,

we're going to have to

start court proceedings.

I'm doing everything I

can to get this money.

You can help me out a little bit, right?

Whatever happened with the promotion.

Did you even talk to him?

Yeah, yeah...

Just been really busy. There's

a big spill in Pinewood.

Hey! Wait!

Hey!

Wait!

You're back. Hey.

How's it going?

What do you got?

40 bucks.

20 for the drill.

These are... look here. They're phony.

Phony? What are you talking about?

I got a room full of that junk.

This is a gift from

my father-in-law.

I don't need 'em.

What about this? Is that real?

Same

father-in-law?

I'll give you 1500 for this.

Um, I need to pick up my car.

TRV 3D2.

Thank you.

Dude, I'm telling you, I'm

about to jack this Buick, right?

And this huge guy slams

me up against the truck.

He's gonna crush me, right?

And so I'm like, "Please, man, please,

"my little girl just got

diagnosed with cancer.

I don't wanna take your car,

but I gotta. I need the job. "

And then I show him this picture.

And I go...

"Leukemia. "

I swear to god. He starts

blubbering, and he's hugging me,

he's like cracking my ribs, right?

And then he says, "I'll

pray for your little girl. "

And then he actually helps

me jack his own car up

to the f***ing tow truck.

Man, no way.

How is your daughter?

I don't have a f***ing

daughter, you moron.

Then who is that?

F*** if I know. I just pulled

it out of some frame at Wal-Mart.

Bad karma, man.

Jesus Christ!

Sorry.

Oh, my god...

Please don't hurt us.

Mine's in... it's in my

purse. I just went to the bank.

It's not a lot, but take it.

Thanks.

Should probably tie you

up or something, right?

No... You don't have to do that.

You have cell phones. You're

gonna call somebody, aren't you?

We're not gonna call anybody.

No, my husband can't know about this.

I'm not a... I'm not a bad guy.

So what's the answer?

I don't know the answer. You're

supposed to tell me the answer.

Dad, I really don't know the

answer, and I'm really tired.

Yeah?

I really wanna go to bed.

Well, I can't tell you the answer,

because if I tell you the answer,

you're not gonna learn

how great it feels

to get your own answers.

It would mean a good grade.

Someone gave me a good quote one time.

You know what intensity is? Yeah.

Intensity is doing something

you hate like you love it.

And to get through some things in life,

you have to be intense about it,

especially about the things

you hate. You gotta treat it...

All right, just get in.
