240. Or the Pat Boone records

241. and that old calendar for 10?

242. All right, you have to slow down.

243. Okay? If you could hold on to your horses,

244. I will find a family member,

245. and I'll ask them about changing the price.

246. No guarantees.

247. Would you check that hat, too?

248. Um, I don't know if I'm willing to part with it.

249. So I figure we rip up all the carpet,

250. put hard wood through the whole place.

251. Oh, that sounds great.

252. And then some brand-new

253. stainless steel appliances.

254. - Modernize it. - And maybe put a bay window

255. there so you can look out to the backyard...

256. - Yes. - to make it look bigger

257. - because I'm just gonna flip it. - Oh, that sounds...

258. Oh. Hi, Christine.

272. I've already talked to my lawyers,

273. and they're looking into it,

274. and actually they're in contact with Herb.

275. Oh. You talked to Herb?

276. - I did. I did. - Oh.

277. Well, I just...

278. I... I just was surprised

279. that it's all happened so fast

280. and you're over here, you know, with a realtor,

281. and I just... It... It's a whirlwind.

282. I'm... You know, I thought we would put it on the market.

283. You don't really want to sell the house.

284. Do you know what goes into selling a house?

285. You're going to have people tromping through here

286. looking at, uh, everything, you know...

287. the... is there mold?

288. Is, uh, is there water damage here?

289. Inspectors... Inspectors come in,

290. and they're... It's going to cost you a lot of money.

291. Do you know anything about inspectors?

292. No.

293. Um, well, maybe you're right.

294. Maybe we should... Maybe we should do...

295. You know business, and maybe we should do it that way.

296. Yeah.

297. Well, good.

298. And... And Marissa's great.

299. Yeah. I like her and her...

300. you know. She sees anything in the sale she wants,

301. just, you know, give her a hell of a deal on it.

302. I'll see you later.

303. - Hi, Marissa. - Hey.

304. Did I leave my tape measure in here?

305. I got it.

306. Okay, ma'am,

307. if you want to go with the sticker price,

308. I won't have to go up the chain of command,

309. - and you won't have to wait. - Martha, tell everyone I'll be back.

310. Oh, hold on a second.

311. Mrs. Baskets, before you go,

312. could you do $2.00 for the Pat Boone records

313. and the broken necklace?

314. - Excuse me. - Mrs. Baskets?

315. Is the hose attached to the house for sale?

316. You know what? Could everybody please

317. just stop coming at me for a minute?

318. God.

319. Oh.

320. It works.

321. Here's your change, sir.

322. I think you got the wrong guy.

323. Oh. Sorry.

324. What do you say? Two lamps for 30 bucks.

325. Okay. I don't know.

326. I'm gonna have to make a phone call.

327. Two Boones for a dollar.

328. - Look, ma'am... - How about 50 cents?

329. Two Boones for 50 cents.

330. - Hello. - Mrs. Baskets,

331. there's a guy who wants two lamps for $30.

332. Is that fair, or do you want me to make a counter offer?

333. Nice to see you, Christine.

334. I've got to go, Martha.

335. - Herb. Oh. - Ohh.

336. So nice to see you.

337. How are you holding up?

338. Oh, I don't think it's all hit me yet.

339. Uh-huh?

340. So many loose ends to take care of.

341. Well, let's take a look at this will, shall we?

342. Yes.

343. Have you got an answer on the lamps yet?

344. You know what, sir?

345. Let me call the grandson of the dead lamp owner.

346. He might know if there's, like,

347. a sentimental reason why it's more expensive.

348. Ma'am. Ohh.

349. Hello.

350. Hey, Chip, could you do two lamps

351. for $30?

388. and an application, please.

389. Ishmael, cup of cheese.

390. And a application.

391. He's putting the application in a cup.

392. Not the application. The cheese.

393. Ah, man. One minute.

394. I want to be with you.

395. You are with me.

396. No. You know.

405. What the hell.

406. Hi, guys.

407. Is Keith here?

408. You mean Heath?

409. Heath, Keith. Does not matter.

410. You guys have a mimosa, by chance?

411. Sarah. Sarah!

412. Hey, Keith.

422. Who likes Wonder Bread?

423. There we go.

424. And some prophylactics, gentlemen?

425. Now, these have been in the car,

426. so they probably have a little bit

427. of stretchability to them, if you know what I mean,

428. for your old penis.

429. Dad...

430. And, Sarah, I got you one with hearts on it.

431. There you go.

432. What are you doing?

433. I'm just, uh...

434. you know. I think it's important

435. for everybody to protect themselves.

436. You know, you guys, have a good time,

437. but protection is... is key.

438. Okay, I'm out of here.

439. Oh, my God.

440. - Dad. - Yes.

441. Can you maybe give me a ride back?

442. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Come on in.

443. Sarah, where are you going?

444. - I got to go. - Sarah,

445. your dad sucks.

446. Dude, what the hell do you think you're doing?

447. You're taking her away? That's bullshit.

448. Oh, he's got a mouth on him, does he?

449. Well, you ever seen one of these, son?

450. It's called a gun, and anybody can get on in this country.

451. It's super easy, and all I got to do is just...

452. You can get another one of those at Pottery Barn.

453. Sarah, get in.

454. It's locked.

455. Don't move!

456. Don't you move!

457. Loaded Italian?

458. Uh, Limited Time Only menu?

459. Close. Signature.

460. Forget it. No, man, I can't do this.

461. Like, I'm not cut out for this.

462. Relax. You sound like Chip on his first day.

463. I got you. Arby's takes care of their own.

464. Thanks, Arby.

465. Study up. It's all good. You're doing good.

466. Thanks for bringing Trinity in on this, man.

469. Be a good kid. She needs this.

470. Here we go.

471. - See you. - Okay.

472. Hey, Sarah?

473. I love you.

474. I love you, too, Dad.

475. Remember to remind your mother of that

476. from time to time. It would help me out.

477. - Okay? - Okay.

478. Wear your helmet.

479. Oh, hey, Christine. Come on in.

480. I'm just finishing a lousy burger

481. and worse fries, cold fries. You want some cold fries?

482. No, thank you.

483. And watching this moron.

484. - Oh, God, is she awful. - about grace.

485. She's really a bitch.

486. I'm not talking about grace from above.

487. - Grace who? - I'm not talking

488. about a friend that you have.

489. I'm talking about

490. the student loan grace period.

491. Now, you know...

492. I went down and saw Herb today

493. and learned something very interesting.

494. - Uh-huh. - Apparently,

495. you already got your share.

496. What are you talking about?

497. Dad got you a Quizno's franchise.

498. I got a toaster when I got married.

499. Dad paid for your college.

500. I was a cheerleader.

501. Dad bought you a fancy new car.

502. I drove a jalopy.

503. Dad bought you all that stuff

504. because you were the boy in the family.

505. I was the girl. I got nothing.

506. - No. - That's true.

507. He treated us the same.

508. But Mom didn't see it that way.

509. She kept track of each thing that Dad bought you.

510. Everything that Dad did for you,

511. Mom made sure to write it down.

512. Oh, Mom.

513. And that's why she left everything to me,

514. including the house.

515. Oh, that's rich.

516. What are you going to do with all that money, huh?

517. That's not your concern.

518. You have no idea about finance.

519. I'm a businessman.

520. I've watched you since I got here,

521. and you know what? You don't have a clue.

522. You've been spending money willy-nilly

523. in the Costco, buying every flavor of drink that they had.

524. Looked like a rainbow in that garage of yours,

525. packed to the top.

526. If somebody gave you a Quizno's franchise.

527. you'd run it into the ground.

528. Jim, that doesn't concern you.

529. Have you ever made a sound financial decision

530. in your entire life?

531. I never had a chance to make any decision,

532. but now I do, and I'm going to make it.

533. And I'm going to do what I want.

534. I'm going to live my life.

535. And I'm going to thank Mom every day for it

536. because she made it fair. She made it equal.

537. And another thing.

538. Suzy Orman is not a bitch.

539. She's a classy blonde.

540. Oh. Hi.

541. Oh, do you want to go in here?

542. Okay.

543. Housekeeping!

544. Well, that was a wild one.

545. How did the, uh, trustees meeting go?

546. Well, there was...

547. The beginning, they had small talk,

548. and, uh, they made comments on the pastries.

549. Good. Are there any left?

550. No. And there was a general sense

551. that the college was not going in the...

552. was going in a bad direction.

553. They were all pretty miffed about you not being there.

554. Well, I mean, you told them I had a family emergency, right?

555. You told Donnie and Pauline and Carla that, right?

556. Yes. Then they took a vote

557. and decided to remove you as president.

558. Remove me as...

559. It's Baskets Career College, as in Dale Baskets.

560. I mean, come on.

561. The bylaws say they can.

562. The bylaws?

563. And the articles of a for-profit college are...

564. Who's going to run it?

565. Who's going to run the thing?

566. I mean, honestly.

567. They took a vote,

568. and they chose me.

569. They chose you?

570. Yep.

571. Me.

572. Trish, I mean, you're...

573. you're my most loyal friend here.

574. It was more money.

575. Yeah, but I'm a white male.

576. I'm supposed to make more money than you.

577. Not anymore.

578. Have you ever been president of anything?

579. No.

580. Okay, Christine, I'll need your I.D.

581. and a copy of the death certificate.

582. Here you go.

583. Thank you.

584. Okay.

585. Okay, your deposit is all set.

586. Is there anything else I can help you with?

587. - That's it? - Yes, ma'am.

588. Oh.

589. Uh, thank you.

590. My pleasure.

591. My mom died, you know.

592. I guess that makes me an orphan.

593. So sorry to hear that.

594. She believed in me, you know.

595. She really believe in me.

596. That's why she...

597. you know, she knew I could handle this.

598. She... She lo...

599. She loved... ... She loved me.

600. She really loved me.

601. Oh. I beg your...

602. Sorry.

603. Oh, look at that.

604. Is that... Is that you and your daughter?

605. - Mm-hmm. - So cute.

606. Oh, I love you. I love her.

607. Oh, thank you so much. I love everybody.

608. Oh, you're so tiny.

609. How did that get that baby out of you?

610. Oh. Ha ha.

611. I don't know. Isn't this crazy?

612. I don't even know you.

613. Oh.

614. Can I get a picture with you?

615. I don't want to forget this.

616. Do you like selfies?

617. Hey. Does somebody at the bank know how to use a iPad?

618. I want to get a photo with everyone.

619. Sorry. I'm a wreck!

620. Ha ha ha!

621. Yeah.
