Fun with Dick and Jane Page #4

Synopsis: The day before Globodyne's stock tanks, a la Enron, and its pension fund evaporates, the corporation's CEO and CFO set up middle manager Dick Harper to be the public face of the disaster. Jobless, and with no savings, pension, or home equity, Dick and his wife Jane sink slowly into poverty. He looks for work (as do all former Globodyne executives); he even tries day labor with the relatives of their Mexican nanny. A foreclosure notice sends Dick and Jane over the edge into a life of blue-collar crime. Then, as things finally look up, the report of an looming indictment pushes Dick and Jane toward a denouement with the real criminals, the white-collar guys.

We've all had to make sacrifices,

I sold my place in Jackson Ho--

No,

- Martha 's Vineyard,

- Oh, shut up!

God.

Hey, bud. Hey, hey, hey.

Can't be that bad, can it, bud?

God!

Oh, you know it.

So can I send you a rsum?

No, I got a terrific one here.

You'll love it.

Do you have a fax number?

So there are no new openings

at this time. Right.

And what about the near future?

Yeah. Sure. I could stop calling.

This afternoon. Okay.

I'll be there. Bye.

Hon. I got an interview

at Pyramid Tech.

I was really starting

to wonder there.

Hey!

Hold on!

- Dick.

- Oz.

Wanna go get a drink?

- You buying?

- Sure.

- Harper?

- Yeah.

- Dick Harper!

- Yeah.

You don't have to stand in this line.

Come on with me.

Hey, Oz. Rain check.

Son of a b*tch!

Okay, rip it out. Get it on the truck.

Hector, what's going on? What--?

- What happened?

- Your check go bouncy-bounce.

But it's okay, I heard what happened

to your husband.

Not everybody could afford

landscaping like this, eh?

- Hector, please.

- I am sorry, Miss Jane.

Oh, no, no, no. No! No, no!

This is all--

Everything, it's all wrong.

I want this out. Roll it all up.

I ordered Kentucky bluegrass.

This is green.

- Dick Harper! What a stroke of luck.

- Oh, jeez.

I'm sorry, I don't remember

where you know me from.

Oh, I don't know you.

I just saw you spaz out MoneyLife.

Oh, my God, that was great.

Hey, some of the fellas would

like to meet you.

- Hello, Dick.

- I can't believe it's really you.

- Oh, my God, it's him.

- Did you bring your statistics?

We have an expression around

here when someone makes a mistake.

It's called "pulling a Dick."

Up high, up high.

Have you seen

DickHarperIsATool. com?

Oh, you're gonna love this.

This is dynamite.

I don't know where

you're getting your statistics,

Who is that? Who is that?

It's you! It's you!

Can we just get on

with the job interview?

This guy!

We couldn't hire you!

We just wanna take your picture.

Okay, everybody, little bit closer.

One, two, three.

Statistics!

Hey, how'd it go?

Oh, not too bad.

It was good practice.

- What are you doing?

- Going through our finances.

I'm not sure...

...but it seems that we may be

in a little bit of a pickle, Dick.

Well, sure, our financial bounce-back

has taken a bit longer than expected...

...but, you know, that's natural.

Our lawn was repossessed today.

I didn't even know they could do that.

I think maybe it's time you start

thinking about accepting something...

...a little bit lower

than a vice-presidency.

No. Took me 1 5 years to get

a VP-ship. If I step back now...

...I'll lose everything I worked for.

We're just gonna have to suck it up
