She is a beauty.
Who? What?
Who? Who is a beauty?
Heh, the car.
Oh, oh, I thought you were talking
about a chick walking outside.
I lost my concentration.
Why do you think they call cars "she?"
Never "he."
It's always "she."
I guess it's just custom.
Well, what do you think?
Don't press me.
You're a sick man. Sick!
Do you hear me?
Who's sick?
Who do you think I'm screaming at?
How many of you are there up there?
There's only you
and you're a sick human being.
I can't believe you sometimes.
Where's my white-on-white shirt?
It's like yelling to a wall to you.
I'm carrying on about
what a disgusting human being you are
and all you want to know
is where your white-on-white shirt is?
Yeah, the one with the permanent stays.
I really don't want you to hustle me here.
You know what I mean? I really...
I really hate that.
I hate being hustled.
I just want a nice, honest price, you know?
I just don't want any special deals.
Just a nice, honest price.
Am I making myself clear.
Of course, Mr. Babowsky.
Now how much are you willing to pay?
You're doing it, see?
You're doing it already. I hate that.
You... you... you're giving me a hustle number.
I am just trying to get an idea
of how much you're willing to pay.
$4.
I'd like to pay $4 a month.
Now that is not an honest answer.
Well, what do you want to hear?
Why don't you just tell me
what you want me to pay, okay?
And then I'll tell you whether I'll pay it.
And then we won't have to get this hustle number going,
which I really hate.
What do I want to pay?
I want to pay nothing.
You're being unreasonable.
You don't even want to listen!
I don't know what I did.
I got no idea.
If you'd listen you'd know what you did.
Is it my fault? Yeah.
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry.
I could do no better than that.
A full unconditional apology.
All right? Okay?
And by the way,
why don't you send a search party out
for the white-on-white shirt?
The best one I got.
Now if you have even the smallest problem,
you call me personally and I'll just shoot you
straight in to the service department.
Okay, now, uh, I get the loaner, right,
if my car has to stay.
As we discussed, you get a car
if the car has to stay overnight.
Uh, do I get the loaner?
Yes.
She's driving me to my grave.
That's it. I'm headed to my grave.
I'm on my way to my grave.
Woman is driving me insane.
It's not supposed to be like this.
Uh-uh.
11:00, my neck is stiff as a board.
Ugh.
Oh, it's tight. Oh.
Now you enjoy the car, Mr. Babowsky.
Oh, my god.
Are you a lunatic?
Are you telling me
that you didn't see me coming out of this lot?
Huh?
There's a red light there, for crying out loud!
You're supposed to stop!
Me?
Are you crazy?
What do you want to just back
into the middle of the street like that?
A man's driving along
and you want to back into the middle of the street.
What kind of driving is that?
There's a red light there, you know?
I was making a space for myself.
That's what I was trying to do
in order to get into the street.
You bolted outta nowhere!
That's something you're supposed to do.
You bolted out of nowhere, pal.
I bolted?
You bolted outta no place! I bolted?
Bolted outta nowhere!
I bolted at six miles an hour?
I bolted into the street? That's right!
You Shmuck! Back away from me!
All right, I'll back away. Back away from me.
I'll back away. I'm backing away.
Here, I backed away, huh?
You lunatic!
Will you look at this guy, huh?
He backs in front of me,
he rips my side-view mirror off,
and then... and I'm crazy?
You goddamn lunatic! You're dead!
You are crazy!
You are nuts!
The oughta lock you up
and throw away the key.
That's what the oughta do to you.
Look at this.
Look at this!
My car's got 1/16th of a mile on it
and it's already been hit.
I'm gonna get even with you.
I'm gonna get even with you, you son of a bitch.
I'm gonna get even with you.
Look, you wanna drive a Cadillac,
learn how to drive.
You wanna get even with somebody,
you picked the wrong person to get even with, pal!
Nobody backs in traffic,
smashed my car,
and then tells me they're gonna get even!
I'm gonna get even, pal!
We'll see about that.
Give me my goddamn mirror.
Now a loaner, a loaner.
Right now, no talk!
Good morning, Mrs. Foster.
Hi, I represent the Gibraltar aluminum siding company.
We're gonna be having a representative
in your neighborhood today.
We were wondering would you be interested
in seeing the benefits of our aluminum product?
Yes, well, we do aluminum siding...
Would you be interested in seeing the benefits
of our aluminum product?
Well, we do aluminum siding, which...
Mrs. Beadle, are you interested in aluminum siding?
Aluminum siding company.
So the doctor says when I get
all the information back, I'll give you a call.
He leaves the doctor.
So one day the phone rings,
the guy goes to pick it up.
Guy?
The guy.
Not the doctor?
That's right, the guy gets a telephone call.
It's the doctor on the line.
Don't get so irritable.
Well, listen to what I'm saying.
Let him tell the joke, cheese.
So the doctor says,
"I got some bad news and some worse news."
Guy says, "well, let me hear the bad news first."
Doctor says, "you got. 24 hours to live."
The guy says, "well, what's the worse news?"
Doctor says, "I forgot to call you yesterday."
So the guy's dead, right?
That's good. Worse news and bad news.
Did you hear what he says? "The guy dies?"
It's a dumb joke but it's good.
All right, all right, okay!
We hear you. All right.
So did you get your new Cadillac?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's already been hit.
Hit? What?
I didn't have the thing five minutes.
Aw.
I was backing out of the place,
a guy comes out of nowhere,
bangs right into my car. Oh, Jesus.
I call. Whattaya got?
Uh, 6's.
Pair o'jakes. I win again.
Pair of 6's?
So I lied.
So how much damage?
$600 worth at least.
$600? Yeah.
I'd get rid of that car.
With that kind of damage, the car won't be any good.
He probably dented the frame.
He didn't dent the frame.
You hit the frame, the car doesn't run right.
He didn't dent the frame. Watch my lips.
Don't get so irritable.
You never listen to me.
So what are we doing here?
I'm gonna tell you something.
I'm gonna get this guy.
If he'd apologized, it would be different.
But he gets out of the car.
He tries to push me around.
Don't let anybody push you around, b.B.
I'm gonna get this guy.
Just for the fun of it.
And he attacks me.
He rips my... My side-view mirror off!
One of the loonies.
Unbelievable. Did you live?
Did you get his name?
Yeah, I got his name.
Police came.
God, I can't believe it.
The guy's an idiot.
Yeah, I got it right here.
Polish name.
Babowsky. Bill Babowsky.
Fuckin' son of a bitch.
Hey, I know that guy.
They call him b.B.
You know this son of a bitch?
Yeah, yeah, he works with bagel.
He sells aluminum siding?
Uh-huh. Same as us.
I don't believe it.
Of all the people that could run into me,
it has to be another tin man.
How come I don't know him?
Ah, come on, you must've seen him.
He hangs out with that group, you know?
Cheese, Carly, Benelli.
Gibraltar siding.
You know that group.
I don't know the guy.
Come on!
When we were up at the corral, he was there one night.
You know when we were all there.
He's... he's a good dancer.
You must know. You must've seen him.
I don't know the guy.
What are you talking about?
Gil, he doesn't know the guy.
Hey, listen, I thought he knew the guy
okay, Sam?
I can't believe he didn't know the guy.
He seems to be indicating that he doesn't know him.
I don't know the guy, all right?
All right. All right?
Okay. All right, Gil?
Now, hey... he's a good dancer.
What do you want me to do? Date him?
I don't give a shit if he's a good dancer.
Well, I thought you saw the guy.
I tell ya, I was amazed.
This guy does a merengue.
Whoa, I'm telling you.
If I was a girl,
I'd be... I'd be... I'd be really impressed.
You're not one of those, are you?
I'm not one of those. No, I'm not.
Is this fresh?
Yes, it's fresh.
I'm just asking, Florence.
You're always just asking. You drive me crazy.
I can't... I can't tell you how well
this guy does the merengue.
Choo choo cha... pa!
I can't wait to see it.
You know, I'll tell you one thing.
When I get a hold of this guy,
I'm gonna break both his legs.
And then he won't dance the merengue too good.
Son of a bitch.
Backs right... look at the nose on my car.
Take a look at that.
Holy mackerel, look at that.
And it was a beautiful car before this happened.
Let me... let me ask you something.
You watch ed Sullivan, right?
Which actor you like better,
the guy who spins the plates,
or do you like, uh, the guy with the...
The hand puppets? Senor Wences.
Right, senor Wences. I love this guy.
Senor Wences.
He's good. He's the best.
I mean, that's good comedy.
He's better than the guy that spins the plates?
Of course he's better.
This guy... plus, he's got no overhead.
The man's got a hand, a chalk, and a box.
And that's it.
Every once in a while, he puts a little wig on it.
Hello, sir.
I love him. I love the guy.
I'm gonna tell you something.
Bonanza is not an accurate depiction of the west.
That's all I'm saying.
You ever watch that show?
Is somebody talking about bonanza in here?
Today's a bonanza day.
Oh, is today a Bo... It's Monday!
Today is bonanza day.
It's bonanza day. Big b day.
Oh, excuse me!
You laugh. You laugh about it.
How's Ben and the boys doing?
You can laugh about it but it's just no believable.
You ever see the show?
It's a 50-year-old father
with three 47-year-old sons.
You know why they get along good?
'Cause they're all the same age.
"Hey, pa, you ride the horse... What's he talking about?
And I'll go to town."
Come on. What kind of show is that?
Well, I don't...
Look, I'm not an authority on it like you are.
But I occasionally watch bonanza.
And I think it's, like, can you believe
here's a man who's got three kids
from three different wives?
They all died at childbirth.
What is this here?
Must've been a hell of a man.
Who's gonna go around there?
He's the kiss of death!
Yeah, it's called one hump and out.
A little time to kill.
Wanna get some coffee?
No, let's do life magazine.
Oh, yeah, it'll be fun.
Yeah, cheer me up.
I think we have to move
the camera over another foot!
Yeah?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is much better.
Why don't you take a look here?
Yeah, the light is hitting it now
in a perfect way.
It's giving us just exactly what... it's very good.
Yeah, that really shows the flaws
in the structure.
Yeah, it's got a lot of the...
It's showing the discoloration here.
It's got that look. And the flaking...
This is better.
Come on out, honey.
Hey, you got color in here?
Coloration. Oh, yes, yes!
This is too nice for black and white.
Yeah. It's gotta be color.
Bingo.
Excuse me.
Uh, what are youse doin'?
I hope we're not disturbing you, ma'am.
We're with life magazine.
We'll be out of here in just a minute.
I gotta move the camera over another foot there.
Uh, what do you mean life magazine?
Uh, just two minutes, ma'am.
And then we'll be out of your way.
We just need some pictures for life magazine
and then we won't be bothering you.
Life magazine is here on my front lawn?
Yeah... yeah, you see,
we're doing a layout on, uh,
the benefits of aluminum siding.
You know, kind of a before and after presentation.
A before picture?
Yeah.
So they see your house
and another house done with aluminum siding.
The other house lookin' so much more beautiful.
In Life magazine?
Yes, special issue on home improvements.
Ways to beautify the home.
Yes, it's a wonderful...
It's a wonderful issue.
It's one of the most beautiful pictorial,
uh, things that we've ever done here in life.
You know, ways to improve the home.
This is gonna look very good, b.B.
Our house is gonna be the before picture
in Life magazine?
Are you crazy?
We keep life magazine on our coffee table.
Aw, can't my house be the after?
No, no, no.
No. That's so sweet.
No, thank you.
But we already have a house
that, uh, that has aluminum siding
that looks just like your house
but it's ever so much more beautiful.
Yeah, really shows the contrast
of what a house can look like.
How much does this cost?
What?
Uh, the...
Oh, the aluminum siding?
I don't know.
Do you know anything about the costs?
No, but I think it's fairly reasonable.
Well, can't my house be the after picture
in Life magazine?
You could get another house for the before.
What do you mean?
Oh, you mean, uh...
You would like your house
to be the after picture with aluminum siding?
And then we would have to find another house,
uh, to look like their house with, uh...
For the before picture.
Is that possible, hons?
Oh, I don't...
I don't know if we could manage this.
What do you think?
I don't know. It's kind of pushing it, b.B.
It's pushing it.
Well, what time's your husband get home?
'Cause he'd have to go over the figures with a salesman.
That's if there's even a salesman
available this evening.
Jerry'll be home at 7:00.
That'll be a total of $3,700.
$3,700?
Honey, we're gonna be in life magazine!
Before.
After.
You and your lovely wife might've been asking yourself,
"exactly what are the benefits of aluminum siding."
It won't chip, peel, blister,
crack, flake, or rust in any way.
Only maintenance you'll ever have
is to wash it down twice a year with a hose.
It affords much greater insulation
which means it cuts down on your heating bills.
I'll tell you what.
Only on this sale,
I'll throw in a garden hose for this sale.
Let's do some business.
You got a deal.
You're a smart man.
This house will be a monument to your good taste.
Sorry.
What happened?
Almost had 'em.
I was this close.
You were in there long enough.
I thought you were gonna send me in to close.
Damn, I thought I had 'em.

Something like that, Tilley?
No problem.

What do you mean walk?
You think I'm gonna work somewhere's else?
Wing, you've been very good to me.

No.
Listen, my guys tell me that the, uh,
home improvement commission is the real thing.
It's no jackpot.
These guys can be a real pain in the ass.
And any of those scams that you guys are running...
They get wind of it,
they're gonna take your license
and it's good-bye to business.
They take away your license,
they take away your livelihood.
What kind of people are these?
Which scams are they talking about?
They got a list?
Any irregularities, you know?
You know, you sell a house
in the pretense it's a model home.
Anything else sold in the neighborhood,
they get a kickback.
Or the life magazine scam.
Yeah.
You guys know the bullshit numbers you can run.
Jeez, what a pain in the ass.
What's left?
Is this commission gonna stick around
or is it gone with the wind?
They take your license?
Yeah.
And not your car license.
Your business license, Tilley.
Don't mention cars.
Hold it, hold it... whoa, whoa.
What?
That's his car.
Come on, back it up, back it up.
Okay, okay.
Stop, stop, stop, stop!
Stop, stop.
All right, I'm gonna be right back.
I'm gonna even the score.
It's that lunatic again!

Tilley! Tilley, be careful!
Go, go, go!
Do you believe this guy?
Is he sane or what?
Isn't that something?
What's he got, a gnat up his ass?
What the hell's wrong with the guy.
Well, don't you recognize him from the corral?

What are you talking about? This matchbox?
It's got a lot of overhead to it.
I mean, what do you do?
Spend your time in the bedroom and the kitchen.
That's all.
Why do you need a living room and a dining room?
Why do you need a backyard?

You know, Tilley,
we hardly ever do things together.
Like what?
Do fun things together that are enjoyable.
What would we do together for it to be enjoyable?
If we went on a picnic it would be fun.
I don't understand the picnic.
You go some place,
put a thing on the ground and eat.
Yeah, it's nice to do that.
Why?
I don't get it.
It's better sitting in front of the TV.
I happen to think there's something nice
about a picnic.
It's fun.
What's fun about it?
Ants get in the food.
There's bees. I don't get it.
You have to drive.
It takes you maybe an hour to get there.
And then what do you do?
You sit in the grass and eat.
Why is that fun?
I just thought it might be nice to do something together.
That's all. I thought it might be fun.
Doesn't sound like fun to me.
Would you wash my hair the way you do it?
A picnic?
Oh, it's like... It's dirty.
I don know, it's like, what do you do?
You take the food you got in the ice box.
You take it out in a field and eat it.
It's much more fun eating in front of the TV.
We do that together, don't we?
No ants, no bees.
Much more comfortable.
It's not the same thing.
Would you do it harder?
Don't get me wrong.
I'd do anything with you.

Good money I understand.

Hermits that never see the outside.
Women in bathrobes.
People that are lonely
and just want to have conversations.
Kids crawling all over you.

Guy waits for you to pick 'em up,

If you want to win their confidence, here...
Here's a good thing to try.
Bagel, give me a $5 bill.
You're gonna start off with a $5 bill,
which you've taken out before he's seen it, right?
So you're sitting in the living room
and you're talking.
Blah blah blah, blah-bl-blah b-b-blah.
And when he's not looking,
you drop it on the ground like that.
And blah blah blah, blah blah blah.
And when he turns around, you go...
Oh, a $5 bill.
Look at that.
Look at this.
Mr. Blah blah, would you like it back?
And two things happen right away, okay?
First thing he says, "it's not mine."
That's when you say
it must've been because
it certainly isn't mine, sir.
Or he says "thank you" and takes it.
Either case, he thinks you're an incredibly honest guy
and you're in, see?
Yeah, you're in.
Start chipping away at these people
and that's the way you get in.
Moe.
Hey.
Hey, give me the $5.
Hey, putz!
Come on, Stanley.
Let's go.
Look, Carly.
Me and Stanley like a first date.

And then I'm gonna find the one thing
that cuts him right to the quick.

Could I get some help around here?
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Uh, could you tell me are these any good?

I don't think so.
Not a lot of 'em, anyway.
They're not too good for you.
My wife just died.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh, I'm over it now.
It's been a very trying time, you know?
I can imagine.
Just learning how to eat again.
You know what might be healthy and satisfying
would be if you bought yourself a chicken.
You just... you pop it in the oven for a couple hours.
Put a little bit of seasoning on it.
Cook it low temperature.
It's a lot more tender that way. Chicken?
Yeah, it makes a good meal
and then you could use the leftovers for sandwiches.
But you have to sit and watch it cook.
It seems so sad, you know?
A man sitting alone in a house
watching a chicken cook.
Use a timer.
Pardon me?
Timer, you know?
Like with eggs... A timer...
Yeah, right. That's a very good idea.
He's an amazing seller.
He's got the gift.
What's the scoop?
We got 'em. You're kidding.
Take a look at that.
Are you fucking crazy?
You gave away $4,200 worth of aluminum siding free!
Sam, this is the best scam I ever thought of
in my entire life.
Oh, it's in my blood, Sam.
I'm brilliant. I'm fuckin' brilliant.
This scam is so brilliant,
I'm beside myself.
What are you talking about?
All right, here it is.
You go back into the house
and this is what you say.
Mr. Tilley's crazy.
He had a nervous breakdown.
What's that?
Well, he's been under a lot of pressure recently.
He just snapped.
I mean, it's the saddest thing you've ever seen.
Let's be honest.
Nobody gives away $4,200 worth
of aluminum siding free.
I thought it was very generous.
Sometimes the lord moves in mysterious directions.
Mysterious directions? Let me tell you something.
When I go see his boss and show him this contract,
he'll be out of this business.
He'll lose his home.
His wife and kids'll be thrown in the street.
He'll probably end up in an institution.
Why did it have to be thrown out into the street?
Well, you don't think his boss is gonna pick up
a $4,200 job, do you?
Hmm.
Can I have a cup of coffee?
Won't be a minute.
What do you say we just sit down
and try to work this out?
Maybe we could figure out something.
I'm a genius! I'm outta the slump!
We gotta celebrate. Let's go celebrate.
Let's go. Let's go.
Try to have a little laughs tonight.
I'll tell you something.
I couldn't believe you could pull it off
but you did.

Sam, to us.
Mm.
Whoo.
You know something, Tilley?
I'm beginning to believe in god.
Yeah, me too.
No, you don't know what I mean.
I'm beginning to give god more thought.
Well, what?
Oh, you were never one of those atheists, were you?
Me? No, no.
Look, I'm not saying that.
I'm just beginning to believe in god more.
That's all.
What'd you... What'd you do?
Have some kind of religious experience?
Yeah, well, I took my wife for lunch yesterday.
We went and had some smorgasbord
and it kind of happened.
At the sh...
You found god at the smorgasbord?
Yeah. Oh.
I go there and I see celery.
Oh, that's a good place to find god.
No, I see celery.
I see lettuce, tomatoes, cauliflower.
And I think, "all these things come out of the ground."
Yeah.
They just grow out of the ground.
Yeah.
I mean, they had corn outta the ground.
Radish outta the ground.
And you say to yourself,
"how can all these things come outta the ground?"
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about? Yeah.
All these things are outta the ground.
No, I know. They just kind of, uh...
I mean, how can that be?
Outta the dirt all these things came.
And I'm not even getting into the fruits.
I'm just dealing with the vegetables right now.
With all these things coming out of the earth,
there must be a god.
Yeah, well, I'm not getting the same religious effect
that came over you.
I mean, I don't know why I don't feel like...

You gotta admit it's amazing.
Yeah, nature. Outta the ground.
Anything you name,
it's outta the ground.
I don't believe it.

He's the guy that crashed into my car.
That's him? Look at him.

But you got one hell of a lot of nerve

Nice pick, Tilley.
Rider's revenge. I like that name.

You like that name?
Putz.
Hey, we can be scientific
from now to doom's day.
Every once in a while
we gotta use our balls and go for the big one.
You know what I mean?
Tilley, it's got nothing to do with it.
You gotta take the paper, figure what the horse can do.
What their past record is.
What they're doing now.
You know what I mean?
There are things called jockeys.
They get on top of the horse.
Hey, wing.
What's up... Ow!
Hiya!
You lost a sale, Tilley.
The Hudsons' loan didn't go through.
What do you mean they wouldn't clear the loan?
Oh, this guy's a real beauty.
He's got three outstanding shoplifting charges.

I mean, boy, there are sick people out there.
Thievin' son of a bitch like that takes up my time,
cuts into the amount of hours I have available
to deal with other people who are interested in my wares.
What the...
There's no fuckin' sympathy
for the working man in this country.
Nobody said it was gonna be easy.
You read the paper?
What section?
Take a look at this.
"Oceanfront recreation..."
no, no, no, no, no.
Home improvement commission.
"Home improvement commission hearings begin today."
Well, what the hell is this?
Mccarthyism?
What do the expect to find? Communists?
Just go easy on the scams, Tilley.
Damn!
But bear with me a minute if you will.
Now, all right, here it is.
Here it is. Here it is.
Now when you made you initial sales pitch,
did you indicate that you would be giving
a free set of storm windows with the job?
Free storm windows?
Yes, that you would provide
a free set of storm windows
with the sale of aluminum siding.
No, sir.
I wouldn't be able to make any money
if I was giving away storm windows.
My storm windows cost me somewhere in...
The point being that you had no intention
of giving away the storm windows.
Uh, no, sir.
Storm windows, as I recall, was not the issue.
So you weren't dangling a free set
of storm windows as a come-on
to selling them the aluminum siding job?
No, sir.
I merely told the folks
that the storm windows would enhance the beauty
of their house.
What do you make of all this?
I think it's the future, Moe.
Where do you think they're getting
all this information from?
I don't know.
But any tin man gets into that hot seat,
he's had it.
They take away your license forever.
It just don't seem fair.
Boy, I bet I could sell a ton of these things.

Hmm.

The whole idea of being with a girl
on consecutive nights is new to me, you know?
It's not like being with a girl for a night.
When they live with you,
it's like pressing the point.
They bring all these things with 'em, you know?
You go into the bathroom,
you see things you never saw before.
So what's there to do?
Well, they... they move all your stuff.
It's not where it used to be.
I'm just, uh, I'm not used to it.
You mean all this time you never lived with a girl?
Have we met?
Huh?
How long have we been partners, for crying out loud!
No, I never lived with a girl.
Boy, oh, boy.
You wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
Yes, I did.
I came home last night
and she was sleeping on my side of the bed.
My whole life, I never got up on the left side.
I like the left side.
I came close once.
Long time ago in the Catskills,
I met a girl, Dorian.
We were together for about a week.
But no, no, no.
You see, it's not the same because...
She used to go to her room to change and to...
To do all that stuff, you know?
She didn't bring her things over to my room.
Pssh.
All this because I'm trying to get even with some guy.
You know what?
I'm gonna go see her and I'm gonna...
I'm gonna put and end to this.
Is that him?
Yeah.

Why would you stop by?
Listen. What a surprise.
Listen, I... I have a problem.
Oh, how can I help?
Ha, well, the problem is, uh, uh...

Well, uh...

This is very hard to explain.
It's very...
Well, try.
All right, just as an example,
last night I came home.
I get undressed and I realize
that you were sleeping on my side of the bed.
Now this is the side of the bed
that I always sleep on, you know?
I mean, I... I've always done that.
Well, why didn't you just nudge me a little bit.
You know, ask me to go to the other side.
Because...
I didn't want to wake you up.
No, and I... I thought you'd think
it was silly or something.
Well, it's easily changed.
No, but there are other things, you know?
Bigger... Things.
Oh, boy, just talking about this now,
it sounds so... Silly.
You know, if you think all this is, um,
going too fast, maybe I should move out.
I think that's what you're trying to tell me, bill.
I really care for you,
but, you know, if you think it's best.
I don't want to make you unhappy.
I don't think we have to take any drastic action.

It's perfectly located for that.
Alan, put out your hand.

before I even put a panel on the side of this house.
That's how confident I feel.
You think that many people are gonna...
Oh, I'm certain of it.
I'm not giving away $400 for my health.
I'm a business man.
I'm a good business man.
And this is good business for me.
I'm giving it to you because I believe in this house.
Believe it will refer other jobs to me
which is money in my pocket
which is money in your pocket.

You know, to tell you I'm gonna be late.
I don't know.
Maybe, uh, two or three hours.
I never had anyone to call before,
but I thought I'd better, you know, call.
That's all.
Why?
Do you feel, like,
some kind of obligation or something?
No, no, no.
No, I-i-i don't know.

Yeah.

No way!
Oh, whoa! Oh, whoa, whoa!

Wait, I'll get my notebook out.

Yesterday?
Pancakes.
No.
That what did you have?
Guess.

What did you have? Tell us what you had.
I had very little.
Very little. You eat like an animal.
It couldn't have been very little.
I didn't have that much.
Doesn't anybody remember?
We don't remember. I don't know why.
Coulda sworn he had pancakes.
No, he said he didn't have pancakes.
I'll give you a clue.
Maple syrup was involved.

Yes, but not a lot more.

Florence, could we have some more coffee here?
I'm busy. Give me a minute.
Yeah, well, it's for the best.
Yeah, yeah.
We were kind of fooling ourselves there.
Yeah, we were.
You know, we wronged somewhere along the line.
I don't know where though.
You used to make me laugh, Tilley.
You know, you used to...
Used to really make me laugh.
Yeah.
We wronged somewhere. I don't know.
We wronged, yeah.
So you really like this guy?
Yeah, yeah, I like him.
All in all,
I guess it all worked out for the best.
I'm glad you feel that way.
Yeah.
I mean, could you figure it out?
A guy bangs into my car,
thinks I did him in,
tries to get even with me by stealing my wife,
you two fall in love.
Can you figure that out?
What?
You're telling me you didn't know that was the guy?
This was that guy?
Told you I bumped into another tin man.
No, no, no, no.
He didn't tell me he was a tin man.
He said he sold baby pictures.
It's your life.
All I know is this guy's got a bent weather vane.
Oh, god.
Oh, god, not another tin man.
He didn't... he didn't tell you
he was the guy that smashed my car?
No.
Heh.
I can't believe this.
Nora, you okay?
You want me to get you a bromo-seltzer or something.
No, no, no. It's fine.
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm sorry.
You know, this guy...
I'm telling you the guy is nuts.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I told you he attacked me in the middle of the street.
Excuse me. I have to go.
Are you crazy?
You're a goddamn tin man!
Uh, wait a min... Wait... wait a minute!
Wait! Wait a minute!
You wanted to win me just to get even with my husband!
Screw you!
Jeez, I'd get rid of that car.
It's bad luck.
That that guy again?
It's his wife.
His wife?
It's definitely some kind of sickness
that runs in that family.

Oh, he's terrific.

You'll both be out the window at 4:00.

What, the Irs?
The don't want to leave me alone.

Serious.
What, we gotta appear?
Seems to be the gist of what they're saying.
Holy Christ.
Well, can't we ignore it.
How do they know we got the letter.
It's certified.
What do you think about this?
I don't now.
I don't know what they got.

No thanks, ruby.
My dancing shoes are on holiday.
Are you sure?
More than sure.
So who's the best you ever saw?
Best what?
The best tin man I ever saw?
Well, Harry Fenerman, Andy Flynn
had a couple of good lines.
But they burned themselves out too fast.
Best tin man I ever saw was Moe.
Moe is the best there ever was.
Get into the door, he had a sale.
What are some of the scams...
God damn, Nora.
God damn, I'm trying to adjust, you know.
I'm trying to put up with things
I never put up with before in my life.
Give me a break.
Gimme a break, woman.
What are some of the hustles you and Moe used...
It's gonna be real pleasant.
Figure that.
More than pleasant.
Ah, hell with her.
What is it made Moe so good?
I bet she went home to her husband.
Could you tell me some of the stories about Moe?
What time does this say?
It's about 11:30. It's early.
He wouldn't be home yet.
Here.
Here, take that.
Let me pay for the, uh,
what do you call it?
I'll see you, Stanley.
They got no right.
You know what I'm saying, Sam?
They got no right.
Commission.
Listen to me.
They got nothing concrete against us
because it was just hearsay stuff.
It's neither here nor there.
Where's my car?
Why am I not in my car?
What happened to my car?
It's better I drop you off.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, headache, headache, headache.
He's not here.
The blue caddy.
I knew I could smell a rat.
The son of a bitch is coming for me.
Wanna rob my house?
I'll make it easy for you.
Come on. Rob Tilley.
Take everything he's got.
Come on.
Hello?
Tomatoes.
Celery.
That's Nora's.
Meat.
I'll save that for tomorrow.
Eggs.
Ah!
Hmm.
Come on.
Come on, wake up.
Ugh.
Come on, wake up.
You're a sick man.
You smash my car.
You steal my wife.
And now you come to rob me.
You're one demented human being.
Eh eh eh.
I'm gonna call the police and send you to jail.
But first,
I'm gonna humiliate you.
What do you want to break into my house for?
This ain't the fuckin' Rockefeller mansion.
There ain't 38 television sets here.
It ain't like somebody saying,
"nelson, I think we've had a break-in.
"Count the sets to see
how many we got left."
It ain't like there's tons of jewelry
hanging out of the drawers.
Or I don't know which watch
to put on in the morning
I got so many.
I got enough problems
with the Irs bullshit bustin' my balls
and the home improvement commission to contend with.
I don't need aggravation from you.
How do you like your eggs, Babowsky?
Over easy?
A guy breaks into my house
and I'm being charged with assault.
It makes no sense.
Let's get it down right.
Yeah, let's... yeah.
A guy broke into your house. Mm-hmm.
You hit him in the head with a gun.
Correct.
Went to the refrigerator. Right.
Took out eggs and tomatoes.
Exactly.
And threw them at him.
Yeah, I was defending myself.
He was coming to steal from me.
That doesn't sound like defense t me.
Well, I wanted to humiliate the guy.
Here I am out busting my ass all day long,
trying to make an honest living.
And I come home and some Shmuck is stealing from me.
So you hit him with a gun
and pelted him with eggs and tomatoes.
Yeah, I'd have thrown soup at him
if I had any soup.
Is there a law says you can't throw eggs?
Mr. Babowsky claims he didn't break into your house.
Well, what did I do?
Invite him in so I could throw eggs at him?
Maybe Mr. Babowsky intended to break into your house.
But these circumstances of him being pelted
with eggs and tomatoes
is something we need to look into.
I can't believe this.
This guy throws eggs at me
and, uh, and, uh, I'm having breakfast with him.
You're gonna sit down with this guy
and come to some kind of settlement, you understand?
All right, all right, all right.
You gotta put an end to this thing.
Now sit on the paper.
I put paper out there for you.
I don't want you getting that egg
all over my leather seats.
Oh, boy, you know, I... I...
Okay, all right.
Eh, here.
Take your feet off the rug.
What do you want me to do with my feet?
Just suspend 'em up in the air, all right?
Oh, god, I got such a headache.
I just cleaned the rug.
All right, uh,
let me tell you what I'm willing to do.
I'm gonna drop all the charges against you.
And we'll... we'll wipe the slate clean.
I appreciate it.
You see how easy it is to clear it up?
Okay, that's it?
That's an end to it?
All right, let's eat.
Yo, hon.
All right, here's your check.
I don't know how the slate gets wiped clean
when he breaks into my house and I'm the one charged.
N-n-n-n-no.
I told you I was not breaking into your house.
I was looking for you wife.
Hey, I thought we were gonna put it to bed.
Are we gonna put it to bed or what?
It's over. It's over.
All right?
Too tired.
Slate's clean.
Clean as a whistle.
What'll you have?
Um, I'd like, uh, eggs over.
Hash browns. Toast toasted dark.
Butter on the side.
Large grapefruit juice and some coffee.
On second thought,
instead of the eggs over,
if I order soft-boiled eggs, how do you do it?
You take 'em out of the shell
or you leave 'em in the shell?
We leave them in the shell.
Well, I don't like it that way.
It's hot in the hand.
It's hard to scoop the stuff out.
It's not good.
You get little bits of shell in there.
Doesn't taste good.
Whattaya say you just, uh order some eggs
and let it go at that, all right?
Listen, if I'm gonna order,
at least I oughta be content with my food.
I'm a little hungry, you know?
And I got a headache and I got egg all over me.
Why don't you say you just order some eggs
and let some other people eat
before the lunch trade comes in.
Why do I need a man telling me
what I should or shouldn't eat, huh?
Look.
This isn't a four-star restaurant, you know?
You're not, uh,
not gonna have a gourmet meal here.
You're just ordering some breakfast.
And that's all.
Well, it so happens, for your information,
I've never eaten in this restaurant before
and I don't know how they do their eggs.
You see?
If they're over easy and they're gooey,
I'm not happy with it.
And if they leave
the soft-boiled eggs in the shell,
I'm not happy with that either.
You understand?
Can I have french toast and a cup of coffee?
What do you want, bagel?
Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute.
Excuse me, I'm ordering here.
At least have the courtesy
to let a man order his breakfast.
French toast and a cup of coffee please.
Sam, the guy gets on my nerves.
From day one he got on my nerves.
I knew it then, I know it know. Oh, I am...
I'm back to pressing charges against this guy.
Oh, you want to play that way, huh?
Is that the way you want to play?
Well, this game ain't over, mister.
It ain't over.
Hey, hey, hey.
You want to put a stop to this right now, huh?
Because I am ready right now.
Right now! Let's go!
You're ready? I'm ready!
You're ready now? Let's finish it now!
Come on, let's finish it!
Get the people with the straightjackets.
This man is out of control.
Come on, let's finish it. Come on!
Yeah? Yeah? Come on!
I'm not finished. Let's get outta here.
I'm not finished with him, Sam.
I'm not finished with you, mister.
You hear me? Huh, you hear me?
You're not gonna prove nothing here.
Aw, come on!
Come on, come on.
That was french toast and a...
Cup of coffee.
Ugh, Nora.
Real pain in the ass, you know that?
I mean it. She's a real pain in the ass.
It's worse now than when she used to be around.
You wanna hear something?
The other night at the corral club,
I turned down a dance.
You turned down a dance?
What do you think the odds are on that?
100 to 1 b.B. Don't dance.
100 to 1 against.
I'm getting out of the business, b.B.
I got nothing to show for all this.
Lotta good times, Moe.
Yeah, a lot of good times.
You can't eat good times.
My brother-in-law's offered me
a job at Hess shoes.
I think I'm gonna take it.
Eh, you go to work in the morning.
You come home at night.
They got medical benefits.
I get to be assistant manager.
That's it?
That's the way you're gonna spend your day, huh?
Measuring people's feet.
Well, sir, you have a high arch.
I think you need something in an alligator.
With a wingtip.
Not a lot to talk about all day.
You're the best tin man that ever was.
It's all over, b.B.
It's over.
You know, when I saw bonanza the other day,
something occurred to me.
You got these four guys living on the Ponderosa.
And you never hear them say anything
about wanting to get laid.
Huh.
I mean, you never...
You never hear hoss say to little Joe,
"I had such a hard-on when I woke up this morning."
No, no, no. Sam, come on.
They don't talk about broads, nothing.
You never... yeah, you never hear little Joe
say, "hey, hoss,
"I went to Virginia city and I saw a girl
with the greatest ass I've ever seen in my life."
They just walk around the Ponderosa.
"Yes, pa. Where's little Joe?" Nothing about broads.
I don't think I'm being too picky.
But if least once they talked about getting horny.
I don't care if you live on the Ponderosa
or right here in Baltimore,
guys talk about getting laid.
I'm beginning to think that show
doesn't have too much realism.
What do you think?
Sam, I can't concentrate on the bonanza bullshit.
I got too much on my brain.
What with that asshole
and the home improvement commission.
I don't want to have to worry about
whether little Joe got laid last night, all right?
Come on, let's go and eat something.
All right, we'll go to a smorgasbord.
We'll get something to eat.
That's it.
God, if you're responsible
for all this stuff down here,
maybe you got a moment's attention for me.
Between the Irs,
this home improvement commission,
and Mr. Merengue,
I'm just up to here with all this bullshit.
To be frank with you,
I'm in the toilet.
Listen, uh, I'm praying here.
Would you go around.
I wanted to get some of the salad.
It's out of order.
Go around.
Like, just do what you can, all right?
I'd appreciate it.
Amen.
Didn't you approach Mr. Bolachevski
in august 18, 1961
while he was cutting his front lawn,
and tell him that his house had been selected
as one of only 16 homes in the state of Maryland
for a free aluminum siding job?
What was that name again?
Bolachevski.
Uh, it doesn't ring a bell.
Does it ring a bell to you, Sam?
Doesn't ring a bell with me either, sir.
Didn't you suggest
that for a nominal labor charge,
he would receive over $5,000 worth
of aluminum siding?
That's an awful lot for nothing.
Doesn't sound like good business to me.
Mr. Bolachevski was ultimately charged
$2,400 for labor,
which according to our figures
is about the average cost
of an aluminum siding job.
I don't get the point of this.
What we're getting at here...
The point we'd like to stress
is that the job was sold under false terms.
The man didn't win any award.
He wasn't getting aluminum siding
at that special price.
A clear case of deception is involved here.
What's he talking about?
The man got the job
for $2,400?
Which is what it costs in aluminum siding.
Got his money's worth. Yeah.
Um, ahem.
I don't know.
I mean, we have no recollection of this particular job.
Um, but I don't know if this is deception.
I mean, look.
If you work in a clothing store.
A guy tries on a suit that looks like shit.
And you tell him, "wow, it's wonderful."
I mean, there's a guy standing there
looking like a sack of shit.
And the salesman says,
"oh, what a beautiful suit."
Now that's deception.
As far as I can say.
If the man buys the suit,
I mean, you've deceived the man.
I mean, do I make myself clear?
I'll go along with that as well.
I... I can't really see
the deception that you're saying
that we're responsible for.
Excuse us one minute.
Thank you very much, gentlemen.
Should there be a reason
to call you back in the future,
we'd like to reserve that right.
Well, I'm glad we good be of service.
Thank you.
We beat 'em, Sam.
We beat 'em. Piece of cake.
They got nothing on us.
Clean as a whistle.
I need a drink. I hate inquisitions.
I like the story about the suit.
Ms. Ribido?
Hi, I represent the Gibraltar aluminum siding company
and we're going to have
A representative in your neighborhood today.
Would you be interested...
Would you be interested in seeing the benefits
of our aluminum product?
Nora Tilley, please.
Uh, um...
Social security.
I don't know.
She's, uh, she's up there
somewhere on the third floor.
She's got a... Whattaya call it?
A desk up there.
Stanley,
can I help you look for something in there?
No, no, just making myself busy.
Well, I wouldn't to that.
Bagel don't like nobody lookin' in the files.
Mrs. Tilley.
Nora, this is b.B.
Uh-huh.
I need to talk to you.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Give me a chance to explain.
I don't want to listen.
You owe me that. I don't owe you anything.
It was a lousy thing to do, okay?
It was a lousy thing to use you
to get back at your husband.
But the fact is I never would've met you otherwise.
It was a lousy thing.
It was a disgusting, terrible thing.
But a lot of good came out of it.
Would you just tell me something?
Just tell me what kind of person
comes up with such a devious thing.
I'm not such a nice guy all the time, okay?
I admit that.
I have a lot of training in deceit, you know?
It's an occupational hazard.
I want to know what it is about me
that I have to fall for tin men.
I mean, what kind of character flaw do I have?
I didn't want to come here, you know?
I didn't want to have to ever see you again.
I got this far in my life without ever having
this kind of stuff happen to me, you know?
I was doing okay in my life.
I was sailing along pretty good, you know?
And then all of a sudden I decided
to... to get even with some crazy guy
and I'm... I'm, uh...
I'm here.
The wet becomes you.
Gets rid of some of the slickness.
I hate the fact that I'm not in control of this stuff.
But if I gotta have this stuff in my life, well...
I guess I have no choice.
I wanna...
You know?
I want to be with you, okay?
Okay, I said it.
I said it and I'm glad.
I want to be with you.
Because I miss you.
And I love you.
And I want to marry you.
And that's that.
I was hoping for something a little more romantic.
But okay.

Cadillac.
Still got the Cadillac.
So where are you gonna sleep?
I'll stay at Sam's for a couple nights
until I get set up.
What are you doing here anyway?
Well, I thought there might just be a couple things
you didn't throw out of the house.
I couple things, you know, I didn't find on the lawn.
I don't know.
I did a pretty good house cleaning number on you.
Listen, about the divorce.
You wanna file or should I file?
Nora, I gotta level with you.
This guy is nuts.
He told me all about it.
All about you threw eggs at him.
He told you it was about eggs?
No, not it was about it.
The guy tried to break into my house
and steal things from me.
He was looking for me.
We had an argument.
If you marry this guy,
it'd be the biggest mistake
you ever made in your life.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
It's not for you to make decisions for me.
I think I should.
I think you're being misled.
I think... I think you're confused.
I know what I'm doing.
Nora, I know about guys.
Yeah, well, I appreciate your concern.
But it's not for you to make decisions for me.
But this guy is about as bad a choice
as you could make.
Bad choice.
You're a good one to give advice.
Look at you.
You're sitting on your porch, locked out of your house.
You can't even pay your taxes.
And you want to give me advice on life?
I'm not giving you a divorce and that's it.
I'm looking out for your welfare.
No divorce.
Lo...
It's for your own benefit
and you'll thank me for it.
My benefit?
You don't give a damn about me.
You don't give a damn about who I marry.
The reason you don't want me to marry him
is because he's the man taking your wife.
And you got... You got this thing with him.
It has nothing to do with me.
That's all. That's all.
You don't care about me.
It's the same bullshit you're doing.
That's the way it always is with you, Tilley.
It's always you. It's you.
The Irs, they're taking your house.
They're taking your furniture.
You don't say anything about
my things in the house, you know?
I got things in that house
I worked damn hard for.
Things that were given to me by my family.
The headboard was given to me by aunt Josephine.
That's gotta be at least 100...
You know, 50 years old, or...
You know, it's old!
And the hand-embroidered footstool, and...
What footstool?
The hand-embroidered footstool over by the TV, you...
I don't remember seeing that.
It's granny's.
It's been there forever.
It belonged to my granny.
It's been there forever?
I've never seen it.
That's the way it is with you, Tilley.
You just... it doesn't mean anything to you.
You don't care if they take it all away.
It's all you, Tilley.
Huh.
It's all it's ever been.
Hand-embroidered footstool?
Thanks for the lift back, b.B.
Okay, Stanley.
See you around.
You know something, Stanley?
I could always smell a man that's not made of tin.
Stealing files is against the law.
I could call the cops right now.
You'd be in jail.
No, uh... I'll... I'll put it back
and nobody's the wiser.
You're from the commission, aren't you?
The commission doesn't have enough information, huh?
They gotta hire guys like you to snoop around?
We're just starting out.
If I can get some good, hard facts of some infractions,
then we'll have credibility in the community.
You know what your big problem is, Stanley?
You're lazy.
You want to find out some stuff?
Did it ever occur to you to pick up a phone
and develop a lead, huh?
Canvas... that's what we do all the time.
It doesn't occur to you, does it, Stanley?
Because you're lazy.
You think we did something wrong,
why don't you collect your evidence
in a legal manner?
But you don't like that, do you?
You want to snoop around.
You want to steal some files.
What is this?
Elliot Ness or something?
Ee!
What's going on here?
Huh?
Think this is some big time drug ring, Stanley?
What do you think,
you're infiltrating the mafia?
We're just a bunch of guys trying
to sell some aluminum siding, for crying out loud.
If you want some files,
I'll give you some files.
Some of the jobs that I've done.
Leave Moe out of it.
He's quit the business.
Why are you doing this?
Well, maybe if I talk to him another day,
he'll change his mind.
You know, he's like that.
I mean, one day, he's one way.
Another day, he's another way.
There's no need to talk to him.
He's probably pretty upset, you know?
About the Irs taking the house and stuff.
Ever see a Volkswagen?
Huh?
You know, one of those little cars.
What does that have to do with anything?
Nothing.

But I don't want her marrying you.
You think we could discuss this
in a nice, rational manner?
Rational?
You're gonna be rational?
Look, I know we have a problem.
But I'd like to try to isolate
this one particular situation.
Isolate, huh? Isolate.
I like this kind of talk.
What the hell nonsense is that?
Well, what are you trying

Oh, well, wait a second.
I gotta isolate that for a moment

Hey, Wayne.
Tilley.
Wasn't that the goof from the commission?
Masters, yeah.
What the hell's he doing hanging around here.
Wants some information.
I nailed his ass good.
Yeah? Whoo!
Can't lay a finger on me.
Oh, you should've seen me.
I was respectful, courteous.
But I was slippin' and slidin'.
They couldn't touch me.
Listen, Tilley, I got a real problem.
Let me buy you a drink.
All right.
Hope it's not a big problem.
You're gonna sell me out to the commission?
Wing, am I hearing this right?
I'm front with you on this.
I'm up front with you on this, Tilley.
I got my balls in a vice. What am I gonna do?
Is this because of the money I owe you?
I mean, are you just pissed?
Tilley, this has got nothing to do with the money.
You're gonna sell me out?
You're gonna let 'em bury me?
Jesus Christ, wing.
Jesus Christ.
I'm not gonna be able to work in this business?
Wing, this is my chosen field.
Masters was gonna tear this company apart.
You're the low man on the totem pole.
There's a lot of guys making a good living.
There's no sense for the whole thing to go up in smoke.
You understand, Tilley?
It's just business.
Jesus Christ.
You're in for over two grand on the books.
I'll tell you what. I'll wipe the slate.
And here.
I'll give you a thou...
To get set up.
I can't do any better than that.
You sell me out for a lousy $3,000.
$3,000 and I gotta go down the toilet?
Jesus, wing.
I mean, how long the two of us
been bustin' our asses together, huh?
We got a history to this relationship,
for christ's sake.
Masters comes along,
puts a little squeeze on you,
and you sell me out.
$3,000.
The bottom line, Tilley,
is this is just business.
Here.
It's another deuce.
I carried you for a long time, Tilley.
I've done a damn sight more
than a lot of other guys would've done for you
and I don't see any gratitude from you.
You could finish up when you like.
I'm sorry, Tilley.
It's the way of the world.

Bill, better hurry up.
Everything's ready.
I can't believe you're up so early.
This is a rare occasion.
Yeah, I got some business I have to attend to downtown.
Toast'll be ready in a second.
If this thing's working, I don't know.
Nora.
I lied to you the other day.
How so?
I went to see Tilley about the divorce.
He wasn't very reasonable and, uh,
you know, one thing led to another.
So we decided finally to shoot some pool
to decide the matter.
What?
We decided to shoot some pool, you know?
If I won, he would give you up.
And if I lost, I would give you up.
You shot pool for me?
I had no choice.
That's the most despicable thing
I've ever heard in my whole life.
I mean, that's disgusting.
Shooting pool to determine my future!
Nora, I had no choice.
The toast is ready.
Get it yourself!
Hey, I'm only trying to be honest, you know?
I'm to, uh, tell you what's on my mind.
What's on my conscience, you know?
Which one of these things is yours?
Well, why don't you eat both of 'em?
Maybe you can choke to death on one of 'em.
How could be so...
How could you not understand how wrong that...
I don't understand this mentality!
I mean, shooting pool for me, it's insane!
It's nuts!
Look, Tilley is not the most rational guy
in the world, you know what I mean?
I tried talking to him and he wouldn't listen to me.
So what are my options?
I'm asking you. Huh?
What are my options?
I can't believe you had to shoot pool for me.
I mean, do you understand how crazy that is?
Look at you. You're eating eggs.
You're... you're eating eggs like you're casually...
Like this normal business in life here, you know?
Like some feudal lord or something
you read about in history.
All right, all right, I'm sorry.
What happened?
I lost.
You lost?
I blew the eight ball.
You lost? Yep.
What does that mean you lost?
It means I'm supposed to give you up.
Means I'm supposed to never see you again.
Will you stop eating your eggs for a minute!
How can you tell me things like this
and casually eat your eggs?
What does this mean, bill?
It means I'm supposed to never see you again
to honor my part of that agreement.
But I'm not that honorable a guy.
I gotta go.
Well, wait a minute.
Quit going so fast here.
I told you I got some business downtown.
Wanna have some dinner tonight?
Isn't that what we planned?
Yeah.
You gotta testify, huh?
You?
Yeah.
Got a lawyer?
Nah.
I already testified once.
Beat 'em before, I'll beat 'em again.
You got a high-priced mouthpiece to speak for you?
No, I don't need one.
I don't expect to win.
How so?
I gave 'em some pretty incriminating evidence.
You Ga them evidence?
Yeah, it was the only way I could think of
to get out of this business.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
So how's Nora?
She's doing okay.
Ernest Tilley, please come forward.
Take good care of her.
Was it the heat of the sales pitch on September...
August 17th of this year
that made you write across a contract
"this job is free?"
As I remember,
no sale was made concerning those customers.
Deal fell out because
the loan couldn't be arranged.
But the people did agree in principle.
The point we'd like to stress is you misled these people.
You told 'em the job was free,
then you sent in your closer with some cover story
about how you'd suffered a nervous breakdown.
The sale is ultimately made for $2,477.
I don't know. It just came over me.
Might've been something I ate.
Well, we have other specific examples
of deceptive sales practices on your behalf
concerning a job carried out by you December 11, 1962.
You violated sections 2-4-1, 2-4-7.
October 9, 1962,
violations of 2-5-1, 2-5-7 took place.
What are all these numbers?
I mean, I'm not aware of all these section violations.
The feeling of this commission to these violations
is severe infraction of the home improvement laws
and therefore constituted misuse of the license
to sell aluminum siding as approved by the state.
It's the decision of this commission
to revoke your license to sell aluminum siding
to prohibit you from practicing in the state of Maryland.
Are you sure?
I mean, maybe you guys want to talk this over.
Thank you, Mr. Tilley.
That'll be all.
You may hand in your license
to the clerk of the commission on your way out.
Who's next?
Shit.
William Babowsky, please come forward.
Mr. William Babowsky, please come forward.
You have the right to have a lawyer present
if you so wish.
I do not wish.
Hey, mister.
Yeah?
Have a car parked right there?
Yeah, what about it?
A man came and took it.
Who took it?
Tax man.
Tax man?
How do you know it was a tax man?
He gave me a dollar to tell you so.
Fuckin' Irs.
How low can you get?
How... how fuckin' low can you get?
I mean, what kind of people take a man's car?
Sorry about your license.
Yeah.
You?
Sorry to hear it.
What are you doing standing there?
That's where my car used to be.
Stolen?
Irs.
The bandits.
Need a ride?
I could use one.
Some bullshit commission, huh?
Yeah.
Tell me, where's it written in the constitution
where it says a man can't hustle for money, huh?
Where's it written?
I mean, it's not like I went into an alley,
got a brick and whacked the guy over the head with it.
Think I went into somebody's house
and stole his stuff?
I mean, all I'm doing is selling!
Where's the crime in that?
Yeah, I don't know what the country's coming to.
Your telling me?
I don't know what the country's coming to.
You want to know what our big crime is?
We're nickel and dime guys.
Just small-time hustlers.
We got caught because we were hustling nickel and dime.
Nickels and dimes.
You got a good point there, b.B.
You're right on the money with that kind of thinking.
Nickels and dimes. Hmm.
Nickels and dimes.
You know, we gotta start thinking
about a new business to get into.
No. Huh.
It's very hard to find something new to get into.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Yeah, I'll put on my thinking cap.
Come up with something new.
You and me, it's just a matter of time.
We'll think of something.
Yeah. Oh, no, matter of time.
We'll get it.
Hey, did you hear?
Rumor has it there's
a whole new Cadillac coming out.
What? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're gonna redo all the fins.
You're kidding. New lines, you think?
Real beaut. Ooh.
Yeah, this is what a guy told me.
Ooh, maybe I should put in my order right away.
Those things are gonna go like hotcakes.
Oof.
What are you talking about?
You don't got a pot to piss in.
You give me the pot, I'll fill it.
I got an idea. What?
What were you gonna say?
No, no, no, you go first.
Come on. No, no, no, you go first.
Um, I'm thinking. What was your idea?
I want to hear it.
Hey, you're a guest. What is it?
Oh, I'm a guest. I got an idea, but you...
No, tell me what your idea was
and then I'll tell you mine.
Go one. Well, what is it?
This is irritating.
Please, just go ahead and tell me...
Well, I want to hear your idea.
I'll tell you what. We'll flip for it.
Okay, there you. Whattaya got?
Two out of three.
I got heads.
Whattaya got?
What do I got?
You told me you had heads?
