how you could.
I heard she got tired of
taking care of her father,
and she told him
to jump in a lake,
and left to get her M.B.A.
In high-fashion design...
at the University
of New York City.
I just saw her at the gas station
in living color.
We had a cup
of java together.
I'm gonna take Lou Selby's
word over yours any day.
Lou Selby's a drunk.
For a guy who's just
lost his umpteenth job,
you sure are handy
with the tongue sword.
- You got canned again?
- Well, he didn't get canned.
He got fired.
That's gotta be a record.
Not only are you
an obnoxious slug,
but you're a freeloading
obnoxious slug.
You should talk.
In your mid-forties,
still living at home.
I'm twenty-four,
and I pay rent.
- So do I.
- You did pay rent.
Dad, you mean you're
cutting my rent?
Hell, no!
You're not paying rent because
you don't have a job or any money.
You're out of school and you live
in this house, you pay rent.

You know, getting this job,
restoring your faith and pride in me
is a number-1 priority.
Priority ought to be making
something of yourself.
That's right up there.
When I was your age, I couldn't wait
to get out of my folks' house.
I love living at home.
I don't think this is such
a great place for me to work.
Okay,
say I don't get this job,
hypothetically.
Are you gonna be upset?
You don't get this job,
you're on a bus to St. Louis.
St. Louis?
Uncle Jeff's offered you
work in his garden shop.
I don't know anything
about gardening.
You will learn!
I'm getting a feeling that
you want me out of your life.
I don't want you out of my life,
I want you out of my house.
- Wow.
- Out!
Okay, okay, okay.
- Sure I can't offer you a bear claw?
- No, thanks.
- They're good, fresh.
- No, I'm fine.
You don't want one,
and I don't need one.
- Right!
- I love the darn things, though.
I could eat those by the dozen.
By the looks of it, I have.
Right.
I'm so excited that
you're considering...
joining the Target team.
We all are.
I appreciate that.
Good. Then let's cut
right to the chase.
We're prepared
to offer you $42,500 a year...

That's dental, medical,
profit sharing, pension,

and any and all
relocating expenses.
This is our first, best,
and last offer. What do you think?
Well... um, C. D...
with all due respect,
I came in here...
with the number forty-five
in mind, and...
## ["Jeopardy Theme"]
Hmph.
[Chuckling]
You've got me.
- Forty-five it is.
- [Laughing]
- Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
- I'd like to buy you lunch.
- No, no, no.
Your money's no good here.
Lunch is mine.
- I'm not going to argue.
- Better not. I'm bigger than you.
[Intercom Buzzer]
Hang on a second.
I told her to hold my calls.
Yeah, Peg. Uh-huh.
No, it's okay.
- He's right here with me now.
- Hi, Peg.
We just closed the deal.
Uh-huh.
It was a slam-dunk, too.
I got him for forty-five.
[Chuckling]
No, he's right here.
What do you mean
he missed the plane?
Then who the hell
am I talking to?
Ohhh!
I'll, uh...
I'll get back to you.
I know a great,
little Italian place...
that has the best pasta
primatonis in the wor...
Excuse me a minute,
will you please?
- Lovely wife you have there.
- Dodge, James?
- Mm-hmm.
- [Clears Throat]
James, I'm afraid we have
a little misunderstanding.
You see, I thought
you came in for the, uh...
operations manager's job.
I have you down here
as night cleanup boy.
Well, I'm a little overpaid...
for night cleanup boy,
wouldn't you say?
The truth is, James,
I can offer you $4.44 per hour.
Uh, four, four...
$4.44...
- $4.44.
- What about the benefits?
Two fifteen-minute breaks
and a half hour for lunch.
And the title is, uh,
night... cleanup
