I'm just saying, we could be the first ones selling 'em.
Georgie, I don't want to hear about Korean tires no more.
But if we act now, we can corner the market.
Texans like American tires.
Michelin is French.
But they don't know that.
It's a family business. Why don't we take a vote?
'Cause it ain't a democracy.
I'm the only one who gets a vote.
Me and Audrey are the only ones
who get a vote.
- Question. - You don't get a vote.
They're cheaper, they're high quality...
I don't care.
How about that OJ trial. Crazy, right?
Georgie, I've made my decision.
Fine.
You know, I really thought
that glove was gonna fit.
But it didn't.
If he'd just get out of my way, I could make him money.
Be patient, he'll come around.
I just want to be rich
while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.
You're not even 20.
Fine, while you're still young enough to enjoy it.
But when I set a goal, that's all I can think about.
Really?
That's all you can think about right now?
I guess I could think about two things.
You know, it turns me on when you're all fired up like this.
- Well, thank your dad. - Georgie.
Sorry.
Kid makes me crazy sometimes.
I've never seen you two knock heads like this.
Yeah, you must be thrilled.
I should be.
I want to be.
I'll get there.
I love Georgie, but he needs to learn his place.
- I've been doing this for 35 years. - Yes, you have.
I got relationships with vendors.
You don't just throw that away for something new.
Loyalty's important.
Exactly.
You're the boss. I sure am.
- He needs to respect that. - Sure does.
Regardless of whether you're right or wrong.
Yeah. Hold up.
Good night.
Georgie, what the hell?
Before you get mad... Too late.
I got 'em on consignment, didn't cost us a penny.
I don't care. I told you not to do it.
You're not listening. There's no risk.
No, you're not listening. Th...
My office, now.
Just hear me out. No.
You deliberately went behind my back and placed an order.
But like I was saying...
I said no.
It doesn't cost anything.
Oh, man, I can't believe you are still pushing this.
I'm trying to help us be successful.
Thank you very much.
How did I ever survive 35 years without you?
Great question.
You know, you are this close from being fired.
Fine, you don't want me here,
there's a lot of stores that would welcome my input.
Is that so?
I believe it is, yes.
Well, then there's the door. Good luck to you.
I don't need luck.
Adios, amigo.
Is it me or is it a little tense in here?
Connor.
Oh, we're ignoring it, okay.
In other news, CeeCee got a new tooth today.
- Oh, which one? - One of the side ones.
Oh, I think those are molars.
Oh.
Molars.
Cool.
This is ridiculous. You two have to talk to each other.
- I got nothing to say. - Me neither.
Okay, Georgie, I-I know you meant well,
but you did kind of step over the line.
Just apologize and Jim will take you back.
Don't speak for me.
Take me back? I'm the one who quit.
Like hell you quit. I fired your ass.
You never said "fired."
You never said "quit."
I walked out.
I showed you the door.
I knew where it was.
Okay, come on, you're family,
you know you're gonna have to make up eventually.
Don't be so sure. I got a sister
I ain't talked to in 12 years.
Yeah? Well, I got a brother I barely talked to,
and I lived with him.
Why did you stop talking to Aunt Denise? I miss her.
- You okay? - Fine.
Sweetie...
you know I love and support you,
but what the hell are you doing?
Standing up for myself.
Well, great, how much does that pay?
I can't stay where I'm not wanted.
What are you talking about?
My mom didn't want you here, and yet here you are.
Your dad's being a jerk.
Maybe, but we still have to live under his roof.
At least until we make some money.
Don't worry about money. I'll get another job.
You sure about that? Positive.
Before you know it, we'll be in a giant house of our own.
Right, the one with the pool shaped like a tire.
Exactly.
Which is just a circle.
There's a hot tub in the middle.
It'll make sense when you see it.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
So...
you been working for Jim McAllister?
Yes, sir.
How is that big, bald bastard?
He's really not a bad guy.
Yeah, yeah, why'd you leave, then?
Oh, glad you asked.
In less than a year, I increased sales by 18%.
Is that so?
Not only that,
I poached your tow truck business.
- That was your doing? - Yes, sir.
I don't know if I should shake your hand
or kick you in the ass.
Let me make it easy for you.
Point is, I wanted to grow the business
and make some real money, but Mr. McAllister was...
Too scared to take a chance?
You get it.
How'd you wind up there in the first place?
I married his daughter.
Whoa, wait.
- You're Jim McAllister's son-in-law? - Yes, sir.
- And you want to come work for me? - Yes, sir.
Damn, does that make me happy.
Now, you know he and I don't exactly get along.
Well, then you and I got something in common.
Yeah, except the reason he don't like you
ain't the same reason that he don't like me.
Why don't he like you?
I used to date Audrey.
You dated Mrs. McAllister?
She was Audrey Hicks back in high school.
I used to call her my Lil' Hickey.
'Cause of her last name?
That was part of it.
Oh, boy, let me tell you, she was fu-un.
Please don't make it two syllables.
All these years later, it still drives Jim up a wall.
It's new to me, and I'm not a fan.
So when can you start?
Hold on, are you just hiring me to piss off Mr. McAllister?
- That a problem? - No, sir, just checking.
All right.
You come by in the morning, we'll talk money.
We can talk right now. I don't want a salary,
I just want a commission on everything that I sell.
Ooh. You got some swagger.
Thank you.
You say hi to Lil' Hickey for me.
Oh, I don't have that much swagger.
Hey.
Hey. Where you been?
Getting another job.
You got a job already?
- I did. - Aw.
That's great.
Wait, it's legal, right? Actually, I don't care.
I'm working at Fagenbacher's.
Oh.
You know him?
Yeah, he's Dad's competition.
In more ways than one.
What's that mean?
He used to date your mother.
No.
Back in high school, they were a serious item.
No!
Wait, wait. Hold on.
Where you going?
Mom's yearbook.
Okay, let's see. Where is she? Hang on...
Where is it? Sports...
There she is.
- There he is. - Mm.
"Audrey Hicks and Fredrick Fagenbacher, cutest couple."
"My Dearest Audrey, you are the ginchiest."
What's that mean? - I don't know, I guess she had lots of ginch.
"These last few months with you have been everything I ever dream of."
That means they were doing it.
How do you know?
That's all teenage boys dream of.
"You have my heart forever. Your steady Freddy."
Aw, that's kind of sweet.
Why is he wearing a turtleneck in East Texas?
He called her "my Lil' Hickey."
Ugh.
Do you have to wear that in the house?
I'm going to work.
Yeah, well, can't you change in the car?
This is my uniform.
Your dad's gonna find out sooner or later.
Or...
Have a great day.
I'm going out the front door.
Okay, okay, just... just wait here.
Where you going?
Want to make sure no one has a weapon.
Uh, so just a quick heads-up.
My husband has found a new job.
Good for him.
Yes. Yes, it is.
It is good for him.
It's-it's good for me. It's...
good for your beautiful granddaughter.
Amanda, what's going on?
Okay, well, you know how Medford's a small town
- and everybody knows everybody? - Yeah?
Well, um, Georgie's new job...
Mornin'!
...is that.
You're workin' for Fagenbacher?
What can I say?
He knows talent when he sees it.
Freddy gave you a job?
Please don't say "Freddy" and "job"
in the same sentence.
What are you talking about?
He says hi, by the way.
Go. Just go.
No kissing, just go.
Morning, all.
Oh, boy, tension's back.
Lincoln's done.
Great. Get started on the Caddy.
Yeah. Before that,
how about we talk about my raise?
What makes you think you're getting a raise?
I mean, look around.
I'm all you got.
Really? You're gonna use
this whole Georgie situation to squeeze me?
I thought that was clear, yes.
I'll take it under consideration.
Don't take too long.
I hear Fagenbacher's hiring.
Quit whistling.
No.
Hey.
- Shh, I just got her down. - Oh.
Thank you.
She is so beautiful.
Mm.
She is.
Sure would be a shame
if we had to move out.
What are you talking about?
This thing with Dad and Georgie.
We cannot keep on like this.
Sure we can.
Come on, talk to Dad.
I did.
Maybe you should talk to Georgie.
I did.
And?
What do you mean, "and"?
He's in a hurry to make a lot of money.
Dad's got to give him a chance.
How can he give him a chance
if he's working for Freddy?
Yes.
Freddy.
Can you talk to him?
About what?
Well, if he fires Georgie,
maybe we can put an end to this craziness.
Why would he listen to me?
I don't know, maybe 'cause...
you're his Lil' Hickey.
How do you know about that?
Shh!
He told Georgie.
Really?
And now you're smiling?
Oh, I'm just surprised.
I mean...
it was a long time ago.
Yeah, well, apparently you made quite an impression.
Don't make it sound dirty.
So you weren't sleeping with him?
It doesn't matter.
We dated for a while,
then I met your father and fell in love.
You were doing both of 'em?
Not at the same ti...
No.
Anyway,
he and your dad got into a fistfight over me.
It was awful.
You're smiling again.
Oh.
It was awful.
Hi, Freddy.
Well, well.
Audrey Hicks.
It's McAllister, and you know it's been that way
for quite a while.
You are still as beautiful as you were in high school.
I am not.
You are to me.
Come on in, grab a seat.
Thank you.
Drink?
It's the middle of the day.
Well, we used to do a lot of things
in the middle of the day.
Freddy.
All right, sorry.
I reckon you're here about your son-in-law.
You know you hired him just to upset Jim.
Did it work?
Yes.
That big head of his turn all red?
Well, I bet it turned all red, huh?
Okay, you've had your fun.
But I need you to let Georgie go.
Oh, when did you get so serious?
Is that what all these years
with Jim McAllister's done to you?
Jim and I have had plenty of fun.
Not like we had fun.
Enough.
You know, I'm single.
Suzanne left me.
I'm sorry to hear that.
No, it's a good thing.
I got my own little house out by the lake.
You should come out and see it sometime.
All these years,
nothing's changed.
You mean I'm still a handsome devil
that you can't keep your hands off of?
I mean you're still a dog.
So? Who doesn't love dogs?
Huh?
Are you gonna help me out or what?
I never could say no to that face.
- Thank you. - But no.
You're impossible.
And you look good coming and going.
Mrs. McAllister? What are you doing here?
Oh, Georgie, hi.
I'm just... I'm just...
Bye!
What's going on there?
Well, she just came by to see what she was missing all these years.
Hey, that's my mother-in-law you're talking about.
Yeah, well, long before she was your mother-in-law,
she used to suck on my neck like a vampire.
Mr. Fagenbacher,
with all due respect, you're being disrespectful.
You got a problem with that?
You quit?
I had to.
He said nasty things about your mom.
So? She says nasty things about you all the time.
She's allowed to.
We're family.
Well, my dad's family.
Maybe you could apologize to him.
And I'm his family. The road goes two ways.
God, you are both stubborn idiots.
Hey, don't talk about your father that way.
You're home late.
It was a busy day.
Oh, yeah?
Sold a bunch of them Korean tires
Georgie ordered behind my back.
Well, that's good, isn't it?
Behind my back, Audrey.
Okay, you're right.
Thank you.
And maybe Georgie is also a little bit right.
Maybe.
But I'm more right.
You sure are, honey.
I know what you're doing.
Of course you do, 'cause you're so smart.
Thank you.
Hey.
- Hi. - Hey.
Mr. McAllister, I was hoping maybe we could talk.
I'm gonna help Mom with dinner.
Connor why don't you come with me.
Okay.
Try and speak up so I can hear from the kitchen.
Something you wanted to say?
I shouldn't have ordered those tires without your permission.
Appreciate that.
And I maybe shouldn't have fired you.
You didn't fire me, I quit.
But that don't matter.
So you saying you want to come back to work?
You saying you want me to come back?
No.
But if you want to come back, door's open.
- The door's what? - Door's open!
Thank you.
Well, Mr. Fagenbacher is giving me 20% commission
on everything that I sell, so if I was to come back...
- Georgie! - Thank you for this opportunity.
Pretty impressive
waiting on all these tables by herself.
Oh, that's not a surprise, she has six years of college.
Oh, boy.
Well, lookee here.
If it isn't the McAllisters.
- Freddy. - Fred.
Diana, this is Audrey and Jim,
old friends of mine.
- Nice to meet you. - Hi. - Hello.
Is this your daughter?
My God, I hope not.
Now, I don't know if you heard, but, uh, I'll be outfitting
all the new ambulances at St. Joseph's.
Congratulations. I don't know if you heard,
but we've been selling them new Korean tires now.
Can't keep 'em in stock.
Well, good for you.
I opened up a second location in Nacogdoches.
We got all the Medford school buses.
There's only two.
And they're ours.
- Freddy, I'm kind of hungry. - Hang on baby.
I'm sponsoring a NASCAR team.
I got Fagenbacher decals on three cars.
You got a NASCAR team?
His head's turning red. We can go now.
Bye.
Man, I can't stand that guy.
I know.
He's terrible.
