We have a huge opportunity here. l'd like to see us keep our focus. - Our first review is in 30 days. - Gotta sell, sell, sell. All right. Can I get a ride with you? Bite me. Kate, this is why l need a car. I don't wanna hear it. Mick, wait. l'm gonna be late for my hot yoga class. - Oh, you know, sure. hat's really- - Have a nice day. You have a nice day too.

See ya, Jenn. Bye, Jenn. All right, then. l'm sure you're all eager to hear your results... from our first month of sales. Let's start with Steve. Total sales in this first month... up three and a half percent. Boo-yah! - All right. - Here are a few highlights. Sporting goods, four percent increase. Watches, up two percent. Golf-related merchandise, three percent. - Nice. - Okay, Mick- Overall sales up 16%. Yes. Video games, up 13. Whoa. - Sportswear is up 21 . - Cool. Excellent. Way to open up the market, Mick. Good work. And Jenn- Up 14% overall. - Solid work, my dear. - You did good. Hey, you're still two down. Kate- - Congratulations on being our top producer. - Thank you. Up 20%. Wow. Okay. Wow. Thank you. Thank you. Cosmetics, up 24. Great form. Thank you. Are you focused? Am I focused? Yeah, I'm focused. You know, you were a great car salesman. People trusted you and they liked you, so they bought what you were selling. But you're not selling things anymore. To succeed here, you can't just sell things. You're here to sell a lifestyle, an attitude. Right. If people want you, they'll want what you've got. Um, do the clients know how this works? Of course not. hat's why it's called "stealth marketing." The fact is, we get results. How we go about that is our business. he question you have to ask yourself is- ow far are you willing to go to get what you want? lt's called killer instinct. lf you can find it, you could have anything you want. Anything. hanks. l don't think he's got it. I think we may have to bag him. No, no. l- l know he's green. He just needs some time. And-And l-l can deal with this. l warned you not to pick a rookie... in your first "head of household." You've known me a long time. I can handle this. l'll give you 60 days. But this is your ass on the line, not mine. Thank you. Thank you. You won't regret it. We'll see, won't we? We're in a terrible situation right now. Why are you talking about spending? Have you read my new book? I have, and I disagree with you completely. Oh, okay. Looks like sales for luxury items have been up for the last two months. You think we're in a bulI market? That's what l said. Spend, spend, spend. Bull market's around the corner. I understand that bulls are bad. Anyone can see how upside-down the entire market is. Foreclosures at an all-time high- hat's true. About four million foreclosed homes this year. The dollar is on its way up. I'm telling you. If you want to spend your way out, the dollar will end up the same way as the peso. ey. Hey. So we need to step it up, so l've decided that we're gonna throw a party. Jesus. Look at Larry. He is a miserable bastard. My guess is they sleep in separate bedrooms. Yeah, l know how that feels. This is serious, and l'd really like you to focus. Okay? Hmm? l mean, we really need to pull out all the stops. l'd like to put our contact list to good use... and start to showcase all we've got. lt's a good time for me to wear the YSL dress. l'd really like to roll out the Van Cleef earrings. l think you have some of those Costume National that- Oh, ho, ho, ho. have a chance to- Thank you. l really have some things that I'd like... to-to talk to you- S-So l- here's some things that I want- ey, Larry. Come on. Come on. Hey. Hey. I'm on poop patrol here. Nice. Mind if I ask you a question? mm? Think Kate'll like these? Cha-cha, bling. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. What's the occasion? No occasion. Oh, geez. Summer would love those. Yeah. Well, business is good, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. errific. Absolutely. This is what it's all about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, l guess so. You, uh- Are you gonna play today? Oh, uh, no. You know, l pulled- I kinda pulled a muscle. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Kate and l are into this new tantric sex thing. l don't know how I got in the- But it, you know- lt went too far. Yeah. Well, l, uh- l sure haven't pulled any muscles lately. No? You know how l keep it fresh between Kate and me? Uh, good listening? No. No, no. lt's about me never really believing that I have her. Being full of surprises... and a steady stream of gifts. It's great to see you. Hi. How are you? ave you tried this yet? Yes, and- I think you're gonna love it. How are you ladies? Are you enjoying that Pomtini? lt's good, yeah? Well, we'll just, uh, make sure we'll keep 'em coming. This vodka is either- lt's either from Mexico or Antarctica. How are you guys doing? Hi. Hey. Oh, those earrings are gorgeous. hank you. Steve surprised me. What was the occasion? It was a Tuesday gift. Tuesday? What's a Tuesday gift? Just for being Tuesday. Oh, my. That's so romantic. Makes me want a cannelloni. - These are delicious. - You like 'em? Mm-hmm. Who does your catering? Chef Robert. No. Really? Excuse me. Will you show that? l didn't know he was doing frozen food. Can you believe it? Ooh. You know, we had the most incredible chicken "fricazini," homemade, at the Robustion spring gala- Oh, l've got to try the sushi. Ohh! Now, this is one thing you won't find in your freezer. Oh, yes, it is. Wataru flash-frozen sushi. This is the view from base camp. l can't believe you actually climbed Everest. he Sherpas are the key, you know. You don't wanna do it without the Sherpas. Man, this system's great. Yeah, with the bundle of services, you get the clearest HD picture. All your personal media is just a click away. You can see it- What are you boys up to? ...best HD picture. Are you showing off your new toy? Guilty. Yeah. And... who's your favorite toy? You are. Mm-hmm. All right, can I get you guys another- No, no. l'm good. It's a little hot in here. Thank you. Maybe a big boy drink? No, I'm good, thank you. - Do you want something? - Um, I'm-I'm- Nice. Where were we? Watch for the guy on the top right now. All right. Shoot him. Shoot him now. Oh, awesome! Told you this was easy. What kind of shit did your parents do to get you that thing? - What are you talking about? - Oh, l know a guilt gift when I see one, and that one's got "l'm sorry for being a fucked-up parent"... written all over it. Yeah, l guess so. I'm Naomi. Mick. I know. Hmm? You have this whole cult following at school. l do? Yeah. You've been there, what, two months? Everyone's drinking your Kool-Aid. So, why are you here? You a friend of Jenn's? Yeah, right. Yeah. Can't you see me with that crowd? Mmm. Nah. No, not really. l'm here with my parents. Mmm. Wanna get high? Sure. Yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah.

What are you doing? Mingling. Maybe you might wanna go and show the girls your room. ay. How are you guys doing? his sushi is incredible. You guys are so wonderful. Nobody throws a party like you do. Well, we'll have to do it again. - Troublemaker. - Hey, look who's here. You know who this is. The lady of the evening. Hey, Naomi? Mm-hmm. Do you wanna know why all those people are in my house right now? lt's a party. Duh. Yeah. No, it's so my so-called "family"... can show off all their shit. And you know all those people... are fucking blown away by it all. Yeah. That sounds like something my parents would do. Aren't you two the sexy couple? Oh. Don't forget about lunch next week. Good night. Um- l, uh- l think it went-went great... tonight. Uh-huh. Yeah. l mean, l personally didn't feel like l, uh, connected with Melanie. l don't know if you- Did you speak with her husband, Alex? Don't-Don't- Slow down. Slow down. It was fine. It was perfect. You were perfect. You- You know, you don't realize the effect you have on people. Thank you. Um, just, uh, doing my job. Yeah. You might want to lay off the Robert hors d'oeuvres though. Why? What do you mean? Oh, God. Loaded in garlic. Are you kidding? Really? No, not kidding. No, no, no. Oh, my God. Good night. Some party tonight, huh? Oh, my God. hat house. l could die for that dining set. hink she'll buy any of your products? They seem to buy everything else. l think l can make her if l... concentrate on it hard enough. You look really beautiful tonight. Honey, you know that my inspirations need to be my last thoughts before I go to sleep. This is how I get what I want. You should really try it sometime. l think it could really help you, Larry. Shh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh. Hey. Mind if I join you? Sure, come on. Want some burrito? Ah. Chef Robert. No, thank you. I- l ate something earlier. - Yeah? What did you have? - A protein bar. A protein bar? Yeah. Mmm, tasty. So l was just looking at the numbers since the party. - And you're-you're really improving. - Great. l thought maybe we could talk about ways that you could do even better. Mmm. Kate, come on. It's our day off. l thought maybe we wouldn't talk shop. But this is really important. l mean, you're still selling to individuals and what you want to create... is a ripple effect where you get other people selling for you. You should maybe relax. ls there anything you like to do to relax? Like go shopping or watch some football or get a massage? There's always people... who others look to for advice- You like massages, don't you? or the inside scoop. And then they become the connectors that reach the consumer on your behalf. Do you know what l mean? What? l just thought we'd have a normal conversation like normal people today. l don't know if you understand the pressure. l mean, you know, this isn't about me selling my products. l have to ensure that my unit is selling their products. You have a unit? That explains why we're in separate bedrooms perhaps. You're not a great salesman. You're a charismatic guy and that's great. But if you don't apply yourself, then that's all you're gonna be. So this is just business, huh? Yeah, this is business. And l'm your boss. l don't- I don't need to be friends. Oh. Okay. Boss. Ripple effect. Connectors. Unit. l got it. Glad we could talk. Great. Yeah, Bill Johnson said you turned him on to these. Can't stop talking about how great the polarized lenses are. Yeah, those are sweet. I know you'll love 'em. Thanks. Put them on my account. Great. No problem, gentlemen. I think I'm gonna get some too. - Anything l can help you with, Mr. Jones? - I'd like to book a lesson. Sure. No problem. Let's see. I can get you in on Thursday with Bob Senior. No, no, no. l would like to book a lesson with you, Will. - Really? - Mm-hmm. You teach, don't you? Well, yeah, mostly to kids. l saw you out there the other day. You got a sweet swing. Oh, hey. Hey. Sorry. How was your day today? Fine. ow was yours? Good. You know, l wanted to talk to you, uh, about our conversation. Oh, forget about it. Business is business. Okay, nice. A little more weight on your back foot there. Back foot? Yeah. Nice. Will, I do believe you just added 40 yards to my drive. You're a magician. Let me see that driver. Will, thanks for pairing me up with those guys today. ey, no problem, Mr. Jones. Who am I playing with tomorrow? Don't worry. l got a great threesome lined up for you. You the man. Cool shirt, by the way. Oh, thank you. Under Armour. lf you're looking for drivers, these are the best. l was on the course today, and Mr. Jones drove a 320. It was awesome. Whoa, nice shot, Charlie.

Well, l'll invite some friends over, and then you can bring whatever mask over that you'd like to try. We're gonna absolutely help you get some new customers, and we'll have a nice time. All right, Summer. No problem. Yes. Doesn't it feel wonderful? It's the Robustion "Replenishingister" Mask, and it's got ginkgo and wasabi extract. his house is gorgeous. Can you get over the furniture? More champagne, ladies? It's all the latest Ethan Allen. He's got fabulous things. I know because l was just at the design center myself yesterday Iooking at new things. Ladies, l just came from the washroom, and the toilet seat raised up and waved to me. Well! Whoo! Well, l hope that you introduced yourself. Huh? - o oto, my okyo toilet. - Toto? Well, if that's oto, then just call me the Wizard. 'Cause it gave me a power wash to my undercarriage, and a happy-ending blow-dry. Whoo-hoo! And let me just say, with a friend like Toto, that you are never lonely. Where is that fabulous husband of yours? Ah, golfing, where else? A man's work is never done, huh? Never. Honey, l am home. Speak of the devil. I missed you today. Well, hello. - Oh. - Hmm.

Why do you want it? I'm going to a party. Well, l mean, there are gonna be kids from other schools there, so l thought I'd work every angle. ls that a brand you really think they'd be interested in? Oh, God, yeah, Kate. l mean, kids these days are totally wearing upscale brands. - Huh. Okay. - Thank you. Good luck. And where are the Joneses taking the kids for break? Oh, well, we're so excited. We're going on safari in Kenya. Yeah, yeah. It's this amazing outfit. Spaulding and Kent Tours. They do everything for you. They've done all of our family trips. They're the best. - Really? Oh, yes.

That's not cool, dude. l am terribly, terribly sorry. - Please enjoy your dinner. - Whoa. That was odd. That was weird. That is like the third time since we've been here... that somebody's mistaken you for this Steve Cer- as it been three times? Yes. - l get mistaken for someone a lot, but- - Really? it's usually iger Woods. Anyway- Do you have some kind of secret life going on? Baby, you bet l do. - To secret lives. - To secret lives. Cheers. You look like you could use a drink. Thank you. l think the kids must be working late.

No, seriously, Steve. l insist. l really want to thank you for helping me out. What are friends for, right? Enjoy it. Well, thank you. You bet. ake care. Say hi to that wife of yours. All right. Do you mind just looking into the camera and stating your name? Steve Cerrilla. So let me ask you. TelI me about yourself. I- You really came very, uh, highly recommended, and your resume is very impressive. Thank you. So you would be the- the one who was, uh, playing the role with me. Um, yes, I would. Have you ever worked for a woman? Well, it's something I've thought about a lot recentIy. Because I have never been married- I saw that. Either real or imaginary.

Would that be- l-l- Would that be- No. I-I would be, um- l'd be okay with that tonight. Okay.

I'd like to have a word with you. Oh. Well, okay. lt seems like there was a party near here last night... where some alcohol was being served to minors. Now, some of the kids said that your son Mick brought the alcohol. Oh, no, no. That's- That's impossible. ls everything all right? You know a young lady by the name of Naomi Madsen? Yeah, she's a friend of our son's. She left the party drunk and got in a car accident. Oh, my God. Oh, shit. ls she okay? She'll be all right. Could have been worse. Right now, l'm concerned about where that alcohol came from. ls your son home? Uh, no. He left about half an hour ago. But l-l could try him on his cell. - Please. - Thank you, honey. ls that a cop? Yes, it is. What happened to your face? It's nothing. What's going on out there? We're trying to save your ass. So why don't you just get upstairs and stay out of sight? What? From father to father, I trust you're gonna deal with your son appropriately, right? Ooh, l'm gonna deal with him appropriately. Okay. I just got his voice mail. But, um, he's very good about checking in, so I'm sure we'll hear from him. Just to let you know, these cases often result... in some sort of civil liability. You may want to be prepared. Thank you for the tip. Yeah. Sir. Appreciate that. Yeah. Nice meeting you. Detective. Thank you. What are we supposed to do now? as anything like this ever happened before? So what's going on? Naomi Madsen's in the hospital. She got drunk and got into an accident. Is she okay? lt sounds like she's gonna be okay. - l want all of that punch out of here immediately. - Don't worry. It's gone. l can't believe you gave it to minors. - lt's my job. Who do you think drinks that stuff? - That's not the point. Weren't you with her at the party? You must have seen she couldn't drive. Why didn't you take her home? - l didn't know she was that drunk. - Some friend you are. Shut up, Jenn. I wasn't even there. Then where were you? I took a ride. Oh, so you were driving drunk as well. - No. Tim drove. - Who's Tim? - Tim. - Isn't that Naomi's brother? So you both left her? Why would you do something like that? No, no, no. l got it.
