Holy Man Page #2

Synopsis: Ricky Hayman, right hand of Good Buy Shopping Network's owner John McBainbridge, is responsible for over two years of very bad sales numbers. He gets a last chance. Accidentally, he and Kate Newell nearly run over G with his car and decide to take him with them. What they never could guess was that G really is the one good man around. Being on the search for enlightenment, G offers his help generously to save Ricky's job. His natural, uncontrollable behaviour soon gets Ricky into really big trouble, but the sales numbers now go up for the first time in months...

he says is not entirely clear?

- Thank you very much.

Phone, please. Okay.

- [ Phone Ringing ]

- Now, is this all we've sold?

- Yep.

- Ricky? Ricky.

- Yeah?

- Jack Spencer on the phone for you.

- No. Tell him I'm busy.

- He says it's important.

- [ James Brown ] Hit me! Ow!

[ Clarence ] Oh, yeah.

That'll get you the help you need.

- Here he comes.

- Thank you.

Jack, hi! What a nice surpri-- Huh?

What-- What's the matter?

Well-- Yeah.

Well, n-- Th-That is--

That's an outrage.

The bank said

everything was fine.

These bastard people

with their computer screwups.

I'm gonna call 'em right up and really

straighten this out. Thank you. Bye.

Um, Barry. You need to move

some money from my savings to checking.

The car payment bounced. And don't tell

me there's nothing left to transfer.

[ Teeth Click ]

[ Teeth Click ]

ls that what you were going

to tell me? ls that what that means?

[ Sighs ]

Sell some stock. Wow. I'm gonna have

to get the new guy to like me so much...

he's gonna want to give me

the raise right away.

You think that's

overly optimistic?

Thirty seconds to air!

- You are the best!

- Yeah!

- Your stuff is the best!

- I can do it!

- Now go in there and ram it

down their throats! Yeah!

- Yeah!

I'm 67 years old.

I've made love twice today.

Why? Because I'm wearing

new Clam by Vonte.

Clam is the mysterious

new fragrance from the sea.

Clam works.

It can be yours

for just 22.72.

[ Woman ]

Four easy payments.

Oh! [ Clears Throat ]

Three times!

Danny's been fastened

to the studio ceiling...

using the patented

Cool Bond No-Heat Glue Gun.

I wouldn't trust any other glue gun

with my grandson's life.

- Should you?

- Uh-uh.

- Money

- But, you know, based on

everything I've just said...

I think you can see that it's pretty

obvious that a raise is kind of, uh...

uh, kind of in order.

Based on what you just said...

I think it's pretty obvious

that a brain scan is in order.

Hayman, things are not

clicking for you here.

Your sales have been flat

for 27 months.

N-No-- Well, I mean, that depends

on how you define "flat."

Stagnant, no growth, dead.

Oh, flat. Fair enough,

but I'm sure you agree that

the product this year has been--

It's not what you sell!

It's the selling itself.

It's about making people

feel they have to have it...

when they don't

really want it.

Hayman, I'm giving you two weeks

to get things moving, or you're history.

[ Sighs ]

Wait a second. First of all, two weeks--

You gotta give me more time than that.

- Hold it! Hold it right there!

- Yep. Yep.

Right there.

Every day on my way to work...

I pass a dozen guys

carrying signs.

"Homeless family."
