The Ticket Page #5

The kid needed a break.

Well...

I called them and told them

to give him detention.

You what?

He can't cut class and...

I gave him my permission.

You don't get to do that!

Why not?

Because you don't

get to make the decision

for both of us!

Really?

Because you never used

to tell me

when he got in trouble

at school.

I didn't want to bother you

with that.

Well, now I know.

What's that supposed to mean?

Now I know.

I don't like this.

Let's go dancing.

- I don't want to.

- No, let's go.

Come on, Sam.

- James...

- We'll start over.

Go ahead.

Everyone knows

the market is bad.

The woman cleaning your house

knows the market is bad.

People tell themselves,

"I'd have to be an idiot

to sell now."

So, we establish

a separate consulting entity.

We hold meetings in schools,

community centers, churches.

We help people manage debt.

And we offer our own solution.

People will show up

just because it's church.

Evening classes

in family finance.

They'll come in droves.

What we offer:

A comprehensive plan

for solving debt.

Consolidating,

making a family budget,

paying off small debts first.

One of the solutions

we'll be selling.

What do you think?

I think he's got a point.

So close to one today.

I don't know.

You know, that split...

That split-second

where they're not sure

if they're gonna sign

on the dotted line or not.

I blew it.

I don't know.

I think my mind wandered

a little bit.

How do you close?

- How do you close?

- Yeah.

You look the guy

right in the eye.

And you say,

"are you willing to do this?"

Hey, dad.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doin' up?

Mom said you went to a party

and didn't take her.

Go to bed.

How was it?

Fine.

Have fun?

You told Jonah

i didn't want you to come

but I... I did ask you.

Doesn't matter.

Can I ask you something?

That first time we met.

At the dance

at the community center.

What about it?

Why me? Why did you...?

Why did you choose me?

You looked unhappy.

I thought I could help.

Well, usually,

when you ask someone to dance,

it's because you're

attracted to them.

Well, you looked miserable

out there.

We're the sorry-looking

group of blind people...

In the sorry-looking

community center.

You pitied me.

No, I didn't.

You pitied me at the party

for the blind.

You pitied me,

and you took me on,

like one of those kids

at your school.

Project.

Stop it.

Pitiful sight.

I'll go dancing tomorrow

because I promised.

But I'm never going there again.

Ooh, baby

ooh, baby

when we're

out in the moonlight

looking up on stars above

feels so good

when I'm near you

holding hands

and making love

ooh, ooh, baby

yes, oh, baby

yes, oh, baby
