[phone ringing]

-[Mr. Hill] Hello?
-[Mason] Mr. Hill.

How are we doing today?

[Mr. Hill]
Okay until you called.

[Mason] Listen, I know
you have some minor concerns

about the '07
that you saw the other day,

but trust me,
nothing to worry about.

I've even had
the GM himself vouch for this.

[Mr. Hill] I think it's more
the fact that Jerry

has the same model
for three grand less.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Trust me,
you don't want to go to Jerry's.

You know how much
their processing fee is?

It's quite-- no, it's
three times as much as ours.

[Mr. Hill] Well,
I don't know about that,

but the price is still lower.

[Mason]
They keep their prices so low

so they can
take advantage of you

on the other charges.

Not just the processing fee,

aftermarket, finance upselling.

Look, we don't do that here.

Everyone on my sales team
takes integrity very seriously.

[Mr. Hill] And you can vouch
that this wasn't in an
accident?

[Mason] I'm looking
at the paperwork right now.

[Mason sighs]

[Mr. Hill] Let me check if
I have an open day this week.

[Mason] No, no, no, just come in
today on your lunch break.

It's very casual,
no commitments.

[Mr. Hill] Okay, okay.

I guess I could
stop by around one?

Wonderful.
Looking forward to it.

Wish me luck.

Uh, aren't you
forgetting something?

Destroying the hard copy.
That's what I got you for.

-No, what about tonight?
-Yeah, don't worry about it.

I won't be home late.
I'll call you.

So you wouldn't believe
how this bad boy got to us.

I mean, every lot in town
was fighting for it,

just for the trade.

It was used in movies.
Bollywood.

I'm not big into movies.

Well, the next owner, I mean,

he had this thing
really souped up.

Cat-Back exhaust.
Custom cylinder heads.

-I mean, we're talking--
-Look, Jason.

Mason.

Mason, it's not for me.
I don't drive.

It's a graduation gift
for my son.

Oh. Well, it's still good
information to have.

Look, the price.
I'm glad that you matched it.

But Jerry is saying
his VIN report is clean,

and this one is damaged.

Way ahead of you.

I did some digging, and I found
the original paperwork.

So whatever you saw
was probably just a mistake.

[engine revs up]

M-A-S-O-N,

I don't know how you do it.

Mason.

-You look happy.
-[Mason chuckles]

Another satisfied customer,

and somewhere one more angel
loses its wings.

Well, I hope the brakes hold up.
[sighs]

I got a call today.

You delivered
two vans last week.

Yeah, the two 12-passengers.
You know.

Uh, I know they were
supposed to be wholesaled.

Yeah, but those
governmental types,

they always overpay.

You see the gross on it?

Mason, you sold two junkyard
pieces of shit

as accessible rides

for the city's
disabled workforce fleet.

Sounds like you plagiarized
that from an official letter.

They're threatening
to shut me down.

Hey, i-- it'll blow over.
It always does.

Mason.

In the past,

I've been able
to overlook your shenanigans.

But lately you've been
making it very difficult.

And now this.

I can't do it.

Boss, I can sell anything.

Isn't that what you want?
That's what I am here for.

Mason, I'm sorry.

I don't see
any way out of this one.

Someone's head's got to roll,

and it ain't gonna be mine.

Oh, no. Uh, yes.

I-- I called Gino's,

but they didn't have

So I was just

Oh, fuck you, Mason.

You know,

You and all your excuses.

-It never ends.
-No, but this is a good one.

Wait, just listen. [sighs]

I-- I-- I'm sorry,
Alison, but I...

I kinda sorta lost my job today.

You lost your job?

[sighs] Yeah.

You're joking. How?

I lost it.

So what,
you were standing around

and all of a sudden it was like,
"Hey, where'd my job go?"

Well, look,
it wasn't exactly like I--

"I could have sworn I had
my job right here in my pocket."

Well, if I could
just explain myself--

"Hey, I've got an idea.

Let's go on
a scavenger hunt for your job."

-No, please.
-"Hello, job, you in there?"

Come on, this isn't helping.

No, wait, maybe there's
a job inside this one.

Alison!

Look, do you still
want to go to Gino's?

Maybe we can get
mozzarella sticks.

[hiccups]

[sighs]

Fine.

-Yeah?
-Yeah, let's go.

You sure? Should I change?

No, let's go. Just like this.

Okay.

Hey, maybe you should
actually drive, you know?

[door clicks closed]

Come on, Alison.

You-- you're not
kicking me out, are you?

Where am I supposed to go?

You can talk
your way out of anything.

You'll figure it out.

Wh-- what about all of my stuff?

No, don't do that.

No, come on. What--

Come on, Alison.

Wha-- No, those are nice suits.

Get the fuck off my property,
and out of my life.

Alison.

Oh, no, that's fine.

That's fine, yeah, take care.
No worries.

Hi, saw you're looking for
a sales expert.

Absolutely, I can sell anything.
What is it that you guys--

[woman] We sell decorative
paper.

-Decorative paper?
-[woman] That's right.

Yeah, fuck it, I can--

Uh, just tell me

Um, actually, I'm not great.

Listen, Alison...

Alison kicked me out again.

This time for good, I think.

-[Jordan] Oh, yeah, I get it.
-Yeah, yeah.

Uh, and I was wondering

Do you like money,
McGinness, Mr.?

Has anyone in this chair
ever told you otherwise?

There have been more
than a few in that chair.

Better wash those pants.

Mr. Bendt, with all due respect,

I've been in sales
for a long time.

I know how this works.

Power in numbers,

survival of the fittest.

What is your deepest fear?

I don't know.
I-- I'd have to think about it.

Mine? Dying alone.

But then I always keep a roll
of hundreds in bed by my side.

Also, spiders.

Trust me, I don't need
the extra motivation.

Well, a self-motivated fella.

I have agents in this office

looking to take on
as much inventory as they can.

But that's not how
you'll succeed here.

You need the right property,

and I need the right man.

-You sold real estate before?
-Briefly.

I-- I sold condos
for about ten years

before I got into selling cars.

You're a buyer's agent.

I need a seller's agent.

Mr. Bendt,

I've pretty much sold
everything,

and believe me,
I'm up to the challenge.

-[phone beeps]
-Cindy, hold all my calls.

Well, McGinness...

you just might be in luck.

I have some of the most
unsellable properties

in this state.

One of 'em,
the foundation's being rebuilt.

It sank.

Morons built it
on a fucking swamp.

The other one...

this one...

well, it has a history
that turns people off.

What kind of history?

Oh, you know, people talk.

Had it so long, I own the deed.

Can't even give away
any of the furniture.

Furniture? Like, a bed?

[Mr. Bendt chuckles]
You can't even give away

any of the old lady's stuff.

It's money
going down the shitter.

What's the offer?

[sighs] For that one...

35%.

Shit.

Full partner.

You see, I'm serious here.

I don't want to have
anything to do with that place.

I want it gone yesterday.

Well, you could always just
burn it to the ground, right?

Well, I'm not sure.

But given your enthusiasm,

you just might be
the man for the job.

[Mr. Bendt sighs]

All right, McGinness,
we'll give it a shot.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much.

Um, I can get started today,

uh, get a feel for the place,

the layout, uh,
sleeping quarters.

I'll have Cindy set you up
with the paperwork and the keys.

Thank you. I won't let you down.

[Mr. Bendt] Hey.

You never told me
your worst fear.

Failure.

[chuckles]

I think in time,

you're gonna be a little
more imaginative than that.

It was built with that in mind.

Um, please, follow me.

Uh, is there something

Like what?

Yeah, either there's someone

or, uh, I don't know,

maybe it's just really drafty
all the time?

Sounds to me
like what people call ghosts.

Sorry?

[coughing] Ghosts! Ghosts!

[laughs] Come on.

What is this,
some kind of initiation?

Oh, to tell you the truth,
it's all a bunch of hooey.

Sometimes when these
houses are built,

they're built in a way
that causes optical illusions.

[laughs]

Uh, you know, it's an old house.

Optical illusions?

Ah, but it's understandable
because of what happened there.

Too many murders in there.

That's why
it's so damn hard to sell.

Look, just give me a chance
to run with the big dogs.

Any prime listing
and I will sell it faster,

I will sell it for more,
and I will work for less.

I enjoy your enthusiasm

and zest for life.

However, I should remind you,

you're not technically
