trying to do it all by himself.
It'd be pretty nice to have a girlfriend
who's supportive of me.
Supportive? You mean some chick
who'll go along with everything you say.
- A parrot with tits.
- How can you bring Heather into this?
I wasn't thinking of Heather.
But apparently you were.
Oh, Audrey, come on.
Come on, Audrey!
- Morning!
- Where did you come from?
I' ve been swimming down below you
the whole time.
- Is there anyone else down there?
- There might be.
You know, boys,
now I' ve got you all together,
I' ve been thinking it over.
You know what we need?
An incentive programme.
We don't need an incentive programme.
We need faster workers.
We need a fish to bite your pecker off.
What's the most cars you guys
ever turned out in one month in japan?
Fifteen thousand.
All right, my men will make
15,000 cars next month.
But when they do,
you give them their old salaries
and you guarantee 'em full employment.
We got a deal?
- I' m not sure if...
- what have you got to lose?
All right. We strike a deal.
Fifteen thousand cars, not any less.
One less than fifteen thousand,
no raise, nothing.
I' m starting to like this ritual.
You know,
this is really hard for me to say,
but I got to tell you something, man.
The american worker
is really second best, I' m sorry.
The japanese can do everything
better, faster and longer.
You don't like to hear that, do you?
Neither do i, 'cause it's bullshit.
- Who's better than us?
- Nobody!
- Who?
- Nobody!
You bet your red, white and blue ass.
When they told me
no americans could ever match
the amount of cars
made by the japanese in one month...
...it took about a dozen guys
to hold my ass down.
I said, "not only will we make more cars
than you, when we break your record,
"I expect full employment here."
I' m talking about 200 more of our union
brothers and sisters back to work.
And like I told you months ago,
at $11.50 an hour.
Hey, Hunt, how many cars
for the record? How many?
How many?
Fifteen thousand cars in one month.
That's 15,000 in a month.
Did you say 15,000?
Are you joking, or what?
No, I' m not kidding.
Come on, we can do that.
Can't we?
Are you saying the japanese
are better than us?
- But 15,000, that's a lot of work.
- What if we come in just under 15,000?
We get nothing for all that work.
What kind of deal is that?
Excuse me, fellas, but the man's
not an idiot. He wouldn't let that happen.
Hey, of course not.
Even if we just come close,
we get something, right?
- All right.
- Like half a raise for 13,000?
For 13,000, yeah.
Why didn't you tell us that
from the beginning?
'Cause I just thought of it.
'Cause I just thought...
I thought it'd be better
to concentrate on the full fifteen
and that way get the whole raise.
Let's not even think about 13,000.
Let's not even talk about it.
Let's pretend I just made
this crazy thing up about 13,000 cars.
That way, we just go for the full fifteen.
I say we can do it.
Let's do it and do it our way.
- Can we do it?
- Yeah!
- Oh, come on, man. Can we do it?
- Yeah!
Can we do it? Yes, yes, yes!
It won't be easy.
We gotta do what the japanese do.
If they fall behind, they stay after hours.
They work late.
They show up early.
- Hey!
- Morning.
Sometimes the workers ask
for the line to be speeded up.
They cut down
on lunch hours and breaks.
They save time any way they can.
If they can do it, we can do it.
Tony, do you need two hands
to scratch your ass? Let's work.
- We gotta talk.
- Not now, we'll fall behind.
Two bumpers on a car, not one.
- Hunt, listen.
- What?
We got it. We're gonna get the raise!
There you go!
I figured it out, 13,000 cars.
All we do is work the rest of the month
eight hours a day like always.
13,000? That's good.
But, see, you can't think like that,
'cause then we don't make the 15,000.
- We ain't gonna make that anyway.
- Then we gotta work harder.
- This is sunday!
- Ok.
I haven't seen my
