known in the community. But,

uh, the negative numbers.

Pete, I paid my fine.

Okay? Full restitution.

And you think thats painful. You

should try it sometime.

You know, Ill sponsor the

little league, football team,

uh, school carwash.

Negatives will disappear.

Mr. Kalmen, Im gonna speak

freely, okay, out of respect.

Im recommending you get the

dealership because the numbers

make sense, because my

first job was in the finance

department at one

of your old places.

I grew up watching your

commercials on TV.

"Im Ben Kalmen, New

Yorks finest car dealer."

You know, you probably

inspired me to go into

this business in

the first place.

Pete, I am honored.

But, I, I dont think my

recommendations gonna do any

good. You know, the dealership

development committees not in

the habit of handing out open

points to people who have caused

the kind of public embarrassment

in the industry you have.

You put the recommendation

before the committee,

Ill make sure about it

getting signed off.

Okay. Fair enough.

All right. Let me show

you the service area now.

Youre gonna like this.

No, no, I think it

went as well as it could but,

but Jordan. Please, you gotta

have your dad talk to the three

guys from Munich. The three

younger guys, you know

were, werent

there when I had my, uh.

Or do you think

you can handle it?

Yes, sir... roger, I got

that, colonel, yeah.

Good. Dismissed..

Hey, I like this.

So, uh, about this weekend.

Yves? Would you turn the sauna up as

high itll go, please?

I wanna sweat this

thing out. Yeah?

Uh. Look, I dont really

think Allyson wants me

up there with her, all right?

Oh, yes, she does.

Just like my father wants to

squander fifty years of goodwill

and connections as well as

his position on a board of

directors just to get an admitted

grifter a new

dealership after

he almost tanked

an entire companys reputation.

Okay, Boston here I come.

Id feel a whole lot better if

you would just turn and leave.

I can see how bad you want to.

Go to Foxes for the

weekend or the Hamptons,

you know, wherever.

Stay out of sight.

Come on.

Thats what you were

hoping for the whole time.

Just try not to catch anything you

might give to my mother

later because I dont wanna

have to take care of her.

I dont lie to your mother.

I call bullshit, Ben.

You call what?

That means ask me where I was

for drinks the other night.

I thought you said

you dont drink.

I said I dont get drunk.

Okay. Where were you for

drinks the other night?

The bar at the Warwick.

And what night was that?
