- I’ll go get you another one.
- No, that's all right.
Wait till after l move this dryer here.
Can you just...
You show me where to put it?
Could you...
Why don't you go right there...
and fix the doors,
like we talked about before?
- Fix the doors?
- Yeah.
I don't know where to put it, really.
Just anyplace. Coley usually does that.
No. That's not right.
You see...
everything has its own place, right?
I mean, you have your own place.
Hey, Max. Maybe l should move them?
Right.
- Maybe l should move them.
- Yeah.
That old dryer there,
it has to have its place, too.
Right.
- You're right.
- I’m right.
Let's see. Just leave it there.
- That's its place.
- That's real good.
You and Coley hit it off pretty good,
don't you?
Yeah. She's my very best friend.
Excuse me. I have to get through here.
You gotta work.
There we go.
Damn kid didn't do anything
for the two hours we were out here.
Why do they call you Frenchy?
I don't know why.
I mean, it started
back when l was in high school.
Kids just started calling me Frenchy.
I don't know why.
What's for dinner?
Shit.
I couldn't have been more than 11.
No, 10, because Max was 16. That's right.
I was picking fruit all day,
and he was working in the slaughterhouse.
I was draining blood
out of pigs for seven months.
Till the bastards found out
how old l was and canned me.
Son of a bitch.
Remember, then we got a job
in that fishery?
And that foreman.
He tried to cheat you out of your...
Tried to cheat her out of her pay.
I heard he grabbed her on the ass, too.
I hit that son of a bitch with a rock
right in the chops.
Goddamn bastard.
Jesus.
- I really gave it to him, you know?
- You sure did.
- Screw the world, right?
- Right.
Feed them fish heads.
- Right, Coley?
- Right.
- Am l right?
- Absolutely.
God damn it!
Did we fight our way through it or not?
- We sure did.
- We fought our way through.
- Okay.
- Shit.
Take it easy, Max.
You have a whole half a life to go.
I’m gonna spend it washing cars.
I got my own place.
Nobody gonna lay down the law on me,
God damn it! Son of a bitch.
That's my own investment.
Plastic pipe for durability.
- $600.
- Gotcha.
Pure hair hand brushes.
Two hundred smackers, right? Okay.
The finest Mediterranean sponges. $300.
$300 for the sponges.
Pure flannel for polishing and drying.
- I got an idea how to save money.
- How?
Just put all your clothes on
and roll over the cars.
Okay. Up yours, buddy.
Wax buffers, $600. No.
Wax buffers are $300.
$300 for wax buffers.
- Buckets, 100. Big ones.
- Buckets.
Big ones. You gotta have a lot of buckets.
- Gotta have a lot of buckets. And a radio.
- You got it.
You gotta have a radio. And...
Let's see, you gotta have...
You know what's happening, don't you?
Gotta have a... And you and me, buddy...
scrubbing away, rain or shine,
and making that dough.
- You know what l mean?
- Raking it in.
Bringing it in.
Go right back there. That's right.
Bring it in and bring the...
And drinking spiked coffee, man,
and listening to the hit parade.
You got it.
- Do they still have the hit parade?
- I don't know.
Will you find out for me?
Old waxy Maxy, he knows. He's got it
all down. Don't worry about it.
Want some more coffee, Lion?
Don't you think it's time
you invited me to your house?
Gee, l thought you'd never ask me.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Come on, then, my little darling.
You get your little self right there.
You study them prices...
and you look at that catalog, right?
And you just remember, up theirs.
- That's anybody's.
- Anybody's.
About a week ago, l walk into this shop...
to get a present for my kid.
And the salesgirl says,
"How old's the kid?"
I say, "Five." She says, "Boy or girl?"
"I don't know."
"See," l say,
"it never made any difference before..."
but she says, "Five...
"now it makes a difference."
I guess that's when l grew up...
because that was it.
I knew l had to go back,
