tossing out a suggestion.

- We need to...

think

bigger.

We don't wanna get jobs

working for somebody else.

- We could form a band.

Did you know bands make

more money from touring

than they do CD sales?

- Actually, I did know that,

but I was thinking more along the lines

of being entrepreneurs.

Starting a small business.

- Or medium business or a large business.

- Now you're thinking bigger.

- We could sell computers.

- How would we get the computers?

- We steal them right off

the truck in broad daylight.

- Pretty sure that idea is

illegal, Carl.

- No masks.

No disguises.

We just walk right up, take the computers

and no one knows a thing.

- You don't think the

people who own the computers

might suspect something?

- Not if we broke into the database

and changed the computer count.

- How would we do something like that?

We don't have that kind of expertise.

- We'd hire a master hacker.

- What would we pay him with?

- Computers.

We could become the largest

computer distributor

on the entire continent, Larry.

- I think you're thinking a

little too big here, Carl.

We need to think bigger...

ish.

- We could start a website.

Like that girl, Nicole,

whose life I saved.

- She did seem successful.

- From what I hear, she's

uncommonly successful.

- No.

Well.

I'll grab her number.

It's ringing.

- Yeah, talk to me.

- Hi, it's Carl.

- Carl.

Carl.

Former NBA star, Karl Malone?

One of the greatest power

forwards of all time?

- Carl, from yesterday.

- Oh, hi Carl from yesterday.

How are you?

Thanks, again, for saving my life.

- You're welcome.

Hey, I was thinking, since you run

an awesome website for a living,

maybe you could help me and

my number one best friend

and awesome roommate, Larry,

start up a website.

We're in a little bit of a bind

and we could use some quick cash.

- Well, first of all, it takes time

to create a profitable website.

- And what's second of all?

- There is no second of all.

- Then why was there a first off all?

- It's unlikely that

you'll make a quick buck

from a website.

It takes time.

It could take a year or more.

- A year?

- Or more.

- What do you think about this idea?

Stealing computers and selling them

for a hundred percent profit.

- Oh Carl, you have such

a playful sense of humor.

I really appreciate you saving my life.

I feel so close to you.

I know you're already spoken for,

but if it doesn't work out,

maybe you'll ask me on a date?

- Maybe in some alternate reality...

- Maybe this, right here,

is an alternate reality

and in our actual reality we

are successful truck drivers

and we don't have to pay rent

because we live in our trucks.
