The Last Time Page #6

Synopsis: Ted Ryker is the top salesman in the New York office of a business machine company; the corporate stock lives by quarterly sales numbers, the competition is keen, and the economy may be in a downturn. Ted's company is marking time until a new product is ready - probably in a few months. Into the mix comes a new hire, a callow Midwesterner named Jamie, who's come East with his fiancée Belisa. Ted's a cynic - with a failed love in his past; he's profane, he's a lousy team player. He watches Jamie flounder, failing with presentation after presentation. Then, Ted finds a mutual attraction to Belisa. Where can this end?

and that's the reason why | I'm not getting any sales.

Maybe she's right.

Yeah, maybe. Maybe I overreacted.

At any rate, I got her this little gift, | you know,

sort of a, kind of a peace offering.

- Jesus. | - What?

She collects them. I think they're nice.

- Look, if you wanna make her feel better... | - What?

...get rid of that "Made in Taiwan" piece | of sh*t and start making some f***ing money.

- Why? | - Listen, this is serious.

Every one of your competitors | is going to be up at Haverton today, okay?

Including Guardia. You get it?

I got it. Ted, this is going to be big. | It's gonna be huge.

Big. Big, big, big. Really big. Huge.

We're gonna make a lot of money.

This job sucks dick!

How the hell could he say no after that?

I maneuvered perfectly | from the three-f***ing-point close deals

to the goddamn...

F*** it! F*** them in the ass!

I was this close!

Damn it!

I got to calm down. I got to calm down.

Yep.

Do you want a vitamin?

Look, Jaime, you're trying really hard,

but you gotta quit being | such a f***ing salesman.

People know when they're being conned.

- Excuse me? I'm not trying to con anybody. | - I know you're not.

But the way you present yourself, | it seems that way.

That'll be Belisa.

Hi, honey. How are you?

It went great.

Of course I got the sale. | I can't wait to tell you all about it.

Nothing to worry about.

Okay. All right, sweetie.

See you soon.

I love you.

What?

- I didn't want to disappoint her. | - Yeah.

She's cooking a big celebration dinner. | She's not a very good cook.

F*** this. Let's get a drink.

What the f*** am I doing here?

Hey, honey. | Dinner will be ready in just one second.

Oh, my God!

- I think this belongs to you. | - Hi.

What happened?

He had a few too many of everything. | Get up.

- Another bad day? | - Oh, yeah. Well, he almost got a sale.

Sh*t. I don't think | I can take another night of him crying.

I don't think you're gonna get | much of anything from him tonight.

Would you please help me | take him upstairs?

Yeah. Here we go.

Just throw him on the bed.

I don't know how many more nights | I can take of the supportive-wife act.

We're not even f***ing married.

Hey, I'm gonna get going.

Can you help me?

How much longer is Bineview | going to put up with this?

Probably not much longer.

- Lift him up. | - Okay.

Oh, God.

How come he isn't getting any sales? | What is he not doing?

Selling a product is simple.

What a salesman wants to do

is instill confidence in his client.

That sounds simple enough.

Say I have a product, really high quality,

and even if it isn't, | I'm gonna convince my client that it is.
