1. Have you guys seen
my graphing calculator?
Copy !req
2. I'll look like a dork
at math camp without it.
Copy !req
3. You not going to math
camp this spring break.
Copy !req
4. If you want to get into top-
notch private high school,
Copy !req
5. you need to have interesting
job on your résumé.
Copy !req
6. You're going to work
Copy !req
7. on my cousin Trang's
squid boat next week.
Copy !req
8. I don't understand.
Copy !req
9. Admissions people
very educated,
Copy !req
10. and educated
people like to hear
Copy !req
11. about kind of jobs
uneducated people have.
Copy !req
12. Disgusting squid boat
perfect for you.
Copy !req
13. Since I want to go
into journalism,
Copy !req
14. shouldn't I shadow a journalist
like Mrs. Hill or Mrs. Gribble?
Copy !req
15. That not bad idea,
but unfortunately
Copy !req
16. I call Nancy Gribble
a pumpkin-headed Q-Tip.
Copy !req
17. And I called Peggy Hill
a dim-witted sea cow.
Copy !req
18. What we're
saying is:
Copy !req
19. if you can get one of them
to go along with you,
Copy !req
20. more power to you.
Copy !req
21. Otherwise, squid boat.
Copy !req
22. Squid boat!
Copy !req
23. I could learn so much
Copy !req
24. from a professional journalist
like Mrs. Hicks-Gribble.
Copy !req
25. You want to
follow Nancy?
Copy !req
26. Oh, please.
Copy !req
27. You should follow a serious
journalist, such as myself.
Copy !req
28. Print media
is where it's at.
Copy !req
29. Did you know it's where most
people used to get their news?
Copy !req
30. That's a good point,
Copy !req
31. but Mrs. Gribble promised me
some on-screen time.
Copy !req
32. Okay, let's just
cut to the chase.
Copy !req
33. I will guarantee
a shared byline
Copy !req
34. on page one
above the fold.
Copy !req
35. Oh, this is gonna
be exciting!
Copy !req
36. Sorry I'm late.
I was, uh...
Copy !req
37. Spare us your minor
domestic dramas.
Copy !req
38. I give you a complete,
barely used set
Copy !req
39. of state-of-the-art
titanium golf clubs,
Copy !req
40. made from technology first
imagined by Jules Verne.
Copy !req
41. These are for me?
Copy !req
42. Well, how could you afford 'em?
Copy !req
43. I assure you
they were paid for in full
Copy !req
44. and they are yours to enjoy
with no strings attached.
Copy !req
45. Just consider it my way
of saying "I'm sorry."
Copy !req
46. Sorry for what?
Copy !req
47. Oh, you'll know.
Copy !req
48. Dale, what are you up to?
Copy !req
49. No more questions!
Copy !req
50. Just, just, just take a club
in your hands and hold it!
Copy !req
51. Hold it!
All right, already.
Copy !req
52. Oh, my Lord.
Copy !req
53. All right, people,
we got a weekly to put out.
Copy !req
54. Stenholm, you've got
the police blotter.
Copy !req
55. We call that
"Drunks and Punks."
Copy !req
56. Jenkins, you're on the county
commission meeting.
Copy !req
57. Oh.
Copy !req
58. "Bores and Snores."
Copy !req
59. Peggy, you've got a profile
Copy !req
60. of Arlen real estate
guru Chris Sizemore.
Copy !req
61. Sizemore's office faxed
the story over this morning.
Copy !req
62. Just throw in a few sexy
adjectives, but not too sexy.
Copy !req
63. I will Helen Hunt it.
Copy !req
64. So this is all you do, just
write what they tell you?
Copy !req
65. Of course not.
Copy !req
66. Sometimes I, I get to come up
with the headline.
Copy !req
67. Not this time, apparently.
Copy !req
68. I need more than some
dictated puff piece
Copy !req
69. to get me into the school
of my choice.
Copy !req
70. This Sizemore guy
might seem great,
Copy !req
71. but under that smarmy smile,
Copy !req
72. I bet there's a big, ugly story.
Copy !req
73. Yes, you're right.
Copy !req
74. He's like that dish of mints
Copy !req
75. by the cash register
at the restaurant.
Copy !req
76. Sure, they look tasty,
but they are covered in urine.
Copy !req
77. Eww...
Copy !req
78. Exactly.
Copy !req
79. I am Peggy Hill from
the Arlen Bystander.
Copy !req
80. You are going to love Chris.
Copy !req
81. Don't tell me what to write.
Copy !req
82. I still remember
Copy !req
83. the first time I met Chris.
Copy !req
84. When he shook my hand
and smiled,
Copy !req
85. I felt like I was
under a tanning lamp.
Copy !req
86. And then he invited me
into his office, and I was.
Copy !req
87. Mr. Sizemore,
Copy !req
88. you say your life
Copy !req
89. is an open book.
Copy !req
90. How do you explain
this pregnancy test
Copy !req
91. I found in the trash
behind your house?
Copy !req
92. My wife is pregnant:
Copy !req
93. Congratulations.
Copy !req
94. Yes. So. On one
of your billboards
Copy !req
95. you appear to be a giant
standing over Arlen.
Copy !req
96. Clearly, you are a man
of average size.
Copy !req
97. Simple mistake—
or false advertising?
Copy !req
98. Oh, Peggy, there's
nothing I enjoy more
Copy !req
99. than lining my pieces up
against a worthy adversary,
Copy !req
100. but I got where I am today by
always being six moves ahead.
Copy !req
101. Just when you think
you have me cornered,
Copy !req
102. I jump, jump, double jump
and I'm in your back row.
Copy !req
103. "King me."
Copy !req
104. Are you saying
the interview is over?
Copy !req
105. It was over six moves ago.
Copy !req
106. We'll see about that.
Copy !req
107. Oh!
Ooh!
Copy !req
108. Wow.
Copy !req
109. I've never seen you play
this well before.
Copy !req
110. Except in that dream I had
where you won the Masters
Copy !req
111. in a playoff with a robot.
Copy !req
112. Well, it's these clubs.
Copy !req
113. It's like they're
an extension of my arms.
Copy !req
114. Well, they ought to be.
They MSRP for $3,000.
Copy !req
115. How in the world
did you get these?
Copy !req
116. They better not be hot.
Copy !req
117. No, but they do have
an interesting provenance.
Copy !req
118. Dale got 'em
at a police auction!
Copy !req
119. These clubs were owned
by a criminal?
Copy !req
120. Not only that,
they were used
Copy !req
121. in a horrible murder
in McMaynerbury.
Copy !req
122. No! No!
Copy !req
123. Not the orthopedic surgeon
Copy !req
124. who killed the embezzling
partner in his practice.
Copy !req
125. None other than Texas's newest
resident of Death Row,
Copy !req
126. Dr. James Allan
Duckworth.
Copy !req
127. I can't use clubs
convicted of murder.
Copy !req
128. Only one of the clubs
was used in the murder.
Copy !req
129. The rest were merely
murder-adjacent.
Copy !req
130. Was it the putter?
Copy !req
131. You shot a 38
on the front nine.
Copy !req
132. Do you really
want to know?
Copy !req
133. No.
Copy !req
134. Where's your teenie-
weenie sidekick?
Copy !req
135. She is doing research
for my next article.
Copy !req
136. We are gonna blow the lid off
Arlen's auto cartel,
Copy !req
137. just like we did
to Chris Sizemore.
Copy !req
138. Peggy! A word.
Copy !req
139. I just got off the phone
with Chris Sizemore.
Copy !req
140. He's out for blood.
Copy !req
141. Well, that just means
I did my job.
Copy !req
142. Why are you acting surprised?
Copy !req
143. Didn't you read the article
when I submitted it?
Copy !req
144. No, I read the press release
they faxed over.
Copy !req
145. That's the story
I thought we printed,
Copy !req
146. not this hatchet job on one
of our biggest advertisers.
Copy !req
147. Peggy, you said
"the scented candles
Copy !req
148. made his office reek
like a bordello."
Copy !req
149. But then I wrote
that there was no visible proof
Copy !req
150. he used prostitutes himself.
Copy !req
151. Peggy, you're fired.
Copy !req
152. You.
Copy !req
153. Yes, me.
Copy !req
154. Peggy, it took
a lot of courage
Copy !req
155. for you to take me on,
and I respect that.
Copy !req
156. I only regret I didn't
make my article nastier.
Copy !req
157. I understand.
You're angry.
Copy !req
158. But you're something else
that ends with "gry."
Copy !req
159. Hungry.
Copy !req
160. You know, Peggy,
you remind me of me—
Copy !req
161. just a little, because
you've got so much to learn.
Copy !req
162. But I like your moxie.
Copy !req
163. You're hired.
Copy !req
164. But... you just had me fired.
Copy !req
165. I closed a door...
Copy !req
166. and opened a window.
Copy !req
167. Welcome to Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
168. Ho yeah!
Copy !req
169. I tracked down a lead
at Lane Pratley Cadillac
Copy !req
170. who's ready to squawk.
Copy !req
171. Forget it.
Copy !req
172. Something fantastic
has happened.
Copy !req
173. I was fired, and
now we're Realtors!
Copy !req
174. I need a byline in a newspaper
to prove I'm a good journalist.
Copy !req
175. I need to blow
the lid off something,
Copy !req
176. not tease my hair
and put on a stupid blazer!
Copy !req
177. Oh, real estate is so
much more than that.
Copy !req
178. It drives the whole
U. S. economy
Copy !req
179. and the U. S. economy
drives the entire world.
Copy !req
180. So, in a very real way, this is
the most important job on earth.
Copy !req
181. Wow.
Copy !req
182. Yeah, wow.
Copy !req
183. And you know what
is even better?
Copy !req
184. That you are gonna be
the youngest person
Copy !req
185. to have ever sold a house.
Copy !req
186. Really?
Copy !req
187. That would sound good
on an application.
Copy !req
188. Sold!
Copy !req
189. I've always wondered—
Copy !req
190. does a half-bath mean
you only get to pee in it?
Copy !req
191. Now that I'm a Realtor,
I will find out.
Copy !req
192. Now, I'm confused.
Copy !req
193. You hated Sizemore even though
there wasn't any reason to.
Copy !req
194. Now that he got you fired and
you have a reason to hate him,
Copy !req
195. you're working for him.
Copy !req
196. Chris Sizemore
saw potential in me,
Copy !req
197. and I know he is right.
Copy !req
198. I know houses.
Copy !req
199. I live in one.
Copy !req
200. You know the feeling you
get when you sell someone
Copy !req
201. a tank of propane?
Copy !req
202. Imagine
selling them
Copy !req
203. a tank of propane
Copy !req
204. they will live in
for 30 years fixed.
Copy !req
205. I'll tell you what.
Copy !req
206. Once you get a magnet
with your picture on it,
Copy !req
207. I'll get rid of my no-magnets-
on-the-refrigerator rule.
Copy !req
208. Peggy!
Copy !req
209. Welcome to Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
210. Thank you.
Copy !req
211. Uh... I can't hire
the little Asian girl.
Copy !req
212. The Texas Real
Estate Commission
Copy !req
213. is a grouchy Gus
about child labor.
Copy !req
214. Oh, Connie is
just my protégé.
Copy !req
215. She's free.
Copy !req
216. Perfect.
Copy !req
217. Well, then, Peggy,
I'd like you and your protégé
Copy !req
218. to meet the rest
of Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
219. This is Dee.
She coined the
word "cozy"
Copy !req
220. for uncomfortably
small places.
Copy !req
221. And over there
Copy !req
222. is Walker Lee.
Copy !req
223. He can nail the
square footage
Copy !req
224. of a house just
by walking it.
Copy !req
225. Thanks to my size 12s!
Copy !req
226. And I believe
Copy !req
227. you've already
met Candi and Roger.
Copy !req
228. That's Candi with an "I."
Copy !req
229. And Roger with
an "I do."
Copy !req
230. Candi and I
are married.
Copy !req
231. Since I married
Candi and Roger,
Copy !req
232. our sales are up 27%.
Copy !req
233. So they're not really married?
Copy !req
234. Well, not to each other.
Copy !req
235. But I'm afraid they're stuck
with one another
Copy !req
236. till their sales drop.
Copy !req
237. Seriously, though,
we here at Team Sizemore
Copy !req
238. succeed because
we work together
Copy !req
239. like a highly
functioning human body.
Copy !req
240. A human body, yes.
Copy !req
241. Peggy, would you like
to be an organ?
Copy !req
242. Yes, the brain.
Copy !req
243. That one's taken.
Copy !req
244. Oh. What about the skin?
Copy !req
245. People don't realize
that is an organ.
Copy !req
246. Super. We have six open
houses this weekend.
Copy !req
247. I need you to help
get them ready to show.
Copy !req
248. And you can start by baking
Copy !req
249. the most scrumptious 36 dozen
cookies you've ever baked.
Copy !req
250. Cookies?
Copy !req
251. Really delicious cookies
increase sales 7%.
Copy !req
252. I don't think we can bake
a cookie good enough
Copy !req
253. to make someone
sink their life savings
Copy !req
254. into a house
they can't afford.
Copy !req
255. Chris says his ideas
may seem crazy—
Copy !req
256. like Howard Hughes
toward the end—
Copy !req
257. but they're actually crazy
Copy !req
258. like Howard Hughes
towards the middle.
Copy !req
259. I like the sound of
this Sizemore guy.
Copy !req
260. Any friend of the cookie
is a friend of mine.
Copy !req
261. Hey!
Copy !req
262. You the man!
Copy !req
263. How could clubs that feel
so right, feel so wrong?
Copy !req
264. Those clubs don't care
whether they're striking
Copy !req
265. a Titleist
or Dr. Ted Nelson's skull.
Copy !req
266. And neither should you.
Copy !req
267. You know, I could use
a guilt-free hole.
Copy !req
268. Would one of you guys like to
take a swing with these clubs?
Copy !req
269. No, sir.
No.
Copy !req
270. No. Ain't no got
dang ol' way, man.
Copy !req
271. Mm. Scrumptious.
Copy !req
272. Now, have you touched up
Copy !req
273. the dog pee spots
in the backyard
Copy !req
274. with green
spray paint?
Check.
Copy !req
275. Copied names and addresses
from the phone book
Copy !req
276. to "prime" the guest book?
Copy !req
277. Check.
Copy !req
278. Checked out the
Ahn-sel Adams book
Copy !req
279. from the library to put on
the living room coffee table?
Copy !req
280. It's all covered.
Now all I need to do
is sell this sucker.
Copy !req
281. Oh, Walker Lee is going
to sell this one.
Copy !req
282. Dee, we need some conversation
pieces for the house on Ben.
Copy !req
283. I just got a premonition
that big things suspended
Copy !req
284. from the ceiling are
gonna be hot,
Copy !req
285. so bring me something metal,
heavy and fantastic.
Copy !req
286. I just saw the most
exquisite object d'art.
Copy !req
287. Peggy, meet me
at the dump.
Excellent.
Copy !req
288. Uh, but before that, Peggy,
I need you to brush my teeth.
Copy !req
289. To the dump.
Copy !req
290. What about that anchor?
Copy !req
291. It's heavy, metal—
I think it's pretty good.
Copy !req
292. Nautical? You're so naive
it's almost cute...
Copy !req
293. but not quite.
Copy !req
294. Grab the rusty propeller.
Copy !req
295. Fabulous. I'm on it.
Copy !req
296. Get this to the office,
chop-chop.
Copy !req
297. No offense.
Copy !req
298. Yee-ow!
Copy !req
299. Champagnoise at 9:00 in the
morning can only mean one thing.
Copy !req
300. A big sale.
Copy !req
301. Congratulations to all of us.
Copy !req
302. To Candi and Roger and Walker
Lee and Dee and Janet and me.
Copy !req
303. The vital organs
of Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
304. King me.
Cheers to the king.
Copy !req
305. He thanked
everybody but us.
Copy !req
306. Maybe he just forgot.
Copy !req
307. People are always
forgetting the skin.
Copy !req
308. Oh, and thanks to
the Sparkletts guy!
Copy !req
309. How could we have done our jobs
if we weren't properly hydrated?
Copy !req
310. Another "Sizemore Says":
Copy !req
311. Sizemore says you have a pot
of gold at the end of your neck.
Copy !req
312. Your face.
Get it out there.
Copy !req
313. Chris, do you
have a minute?
Copy !req
314. Oh, hi, Peggy.
Copy !req
315. Just mining diamonds.
What's up?
Copy !req
316. Chris, I know I have talents
that aren't being utilized.
Copy !req
317. I can do more here.
I'm ready.
Copy !req
318. Oh, Peggy, I would have thought
you were ready,
Copy !req
319. except you told me
you were ready.
Copy !req
320. Damn.
Copy !req
321. Don't worry, Peggy.
Copy !req
322. When you're ready, you'll know.
Copy !req
323. Because I will have
just told you.
Copy !req
324. What did he say?
Copy !req
325. A lot of very wise things
that all seem to mean no.
Copy !req
326. Dang it, Mrs. Hill.
Copy !req
327. I've seen the test scores
for Arlen High.
Copy !req
328. If I have to go there, my only
options will be DeVry
Copy !req
329. or the University of Phoenix.
Copy !req
330. Which one, Mrs. Hill?
Copy !req
331. On the radio, they both sound
like good institutions, but...
Copy !req
332. Okay, I'm gonna fix this.
Copy !req
333. I shouldn't have told
Chris I was ready.
Copy !req
334. I should have proved it.
Copy !req
335. That's the reason you
hired me in the first place.
Copy !req
336. My moxie.
Copy !req
337. Well, using that moxie
to "get my face out there."
Copy !req
338. This is Nancy Hicks-Gribble's
Arlen Business Journal.
Copy !req
339. Today we're talking with
Peggy Hill from Sizemore Realty;
Copy !req
340. Team Sizemore
is one of Arlen's
Copy !req
341. greatest business
success stories.
Copy !req
342. It most certainly is.
Copy !req
343. It all starts with
Chris, of course.
Copy !req
344. The man is brilliant
and charismatic.
Copy !req
345. He could lead any cult
he wanted to.
Copy !req
346. He chose real estate.
Copy !req
347. What makes Team Sizemore
so successful
Copy !req
348. is that we're like a human body
Copy !req
349. with all the parts
working together
Copy !req
350. in harmony to sell houses.
Copy !req
351. Oh, that is fascinating.
Copy !req
352. Chris— naturally,
is the brain.
Copy !req
353. And what are you, Peggy?
Copy !req
354. I am the face.
Copy !req
355. Did you think
I wouldn't see this?
Copy !req
356. I knew you would see it.
Copy !req
357. That was the point,
to get my face out there.
Copy !req
358. Just like you said— my face
is a pot of gold.
Copy !req
359. No, my face is a pot of gold.
Copy !req
360. Look— face, gold, neck,
they're all metaphors.
Copy !req
361. I am the boss, and you do
what I say when I say it.
Copy !req
362. You crossed the line, Peggy.
Copy !req
363. You weren't a team player.
Copy !req
364. So you're off Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
365. But you like my moxie.
That was all moxie.
Copy !req
366. Sorry, Peggy. You're fired.
Copy !req
367. No... no.
Copy !req
368. I'm going to be
a dental technologist.
Copy !req
369. Fired from theBystander,
Copy !req
370. fired from Sizemore Realty.
Copy !req
371. Bobby, check the
Guinness World Records
Copy !req
372. and see who holds the one for
being fired the most times.
Copy !req
373. I'm pretty sure,
it's George Jetson.
Copy !req
374. Well, don't take it so hard.
Copy !req
375. Maybe you're better off
Copy !req
376. not working for this
Chris Sizemore fella.
Copy !req
377. You don't understand.
Copy !req
378. Real estate was my passion,
and now it's gone.
Copy !req
379. Now I know what it's like
to smoke crack.
Copy !req
380. I took one hit of real estate
and it blew off my skull.
Copy !req
381. Yeah, I know what you mean.
Copy !req
382. Hey, Mrs. Hill.
Copy !req
383. I just wanted to give
your blazer back.
Copy !req
384. Oh, Connie,
why don't you keep it?
Copy !req
385. No, thanks. I don't think it'll
keep me warm on the squid boat.
Copy !req
386. My cousin's coming in
this weekend to re-chum
Copy !req
387. and I'm hoping
he'll let me crew up.
Copy !req
388. Connie, I cannot
let you give up.
Copy !req
389. Which means
I can't give up.
Copy !req
390. We are going to sell a house
Copy !req
391. and you are getting
into private school.
Copy !req
392. I wonder if the murderer
Copy !req
393. took a practice swing
before doing the deed.
Copy !req
394. The temptation to yell "Fore!"
must have been overwhelming.
Copy !req
395. Dang it, Dale, I don't think
you gave me these clubs
Copy !req
396. to apologize for anything.
Copy !req
397. You gave them to me
to torture me.
Copy !req
398. Well, I'm not gonna play
with them any more
Copy !req
399. until I've cleared
their name.
Copy !req
400. So you didn't kill that fella
Copy !req
401. with any of these
golf clubs, right?
Copy !req
402. No.
Copy !req
403. Okay then.
Copy !req
404. Well, I do like the anchor.
I think we need more room.
Copy !req
405. We want to start a family.
Copy !req
406. Wait a second...
you're adopting?
Copy !req
407. I adopted, too!
Copy !req
408. It's so great that you go
to work with your mom.
Copy !req
409. Mom is really terrific.
Copy !req
410. Connie loves this place.
Copy !req
411. When her real parents
abandoned her in a ditch,
Copy !req
412. all she wanted was to be adopted
Copy !req
413. and live in a house with
a center island kitchen.
Copy !req
414. Connie, why don't you
show Wang and Jeff
Copy !req
415. where you'd put a swing set.
Copy !req
416. Yes, Mom.
Copy !req
417. An adopted Asian
daughter. Brilliant.
Copy !req
418. I wish I had
thought of that.
Copy !req
419. Done. Candi and Roger
are adopting.
Copy !req
420. I told you I had talent.
Copy !req
421. You've really done your
homework, Peggy.
Copy !req
422. Except for one little thing—
Copy !req
423. you don't have
a real estate license.
Copy !req
424. All it takes is 150 hours.
Copy !req
425. And I've already
signed up online.
Copy !req
426. What's to keep me from calling
the Texas Real Estate Commission
Copy !req
427. as soon as I get back
in my hybrid?
Copy !req
428. I don't know.
Maybe nothing.
Copy !req
429. I'll tell you what's keeping
me from making that call.
Copy !req
430. Respect.
Copy !req
431. I knew I'd find
you here.
Copy !req
432. I knew you'd even steal
my best bus bench.
Copy !req
433. And I know you'll
sell this house
Copy !req
434. to those cosmopolitan gentlemen
at above asking price.
Copy !req
435. I know you because
I made you.
Copy !req
436. The question is,
Copy !req
437. "Am I going to break you?"
Copy !req
438. Go ahead,
do what you have to do.
Copy !req
439. Peggy, you and I can
take on more than Arlen,
Copy !req
440. and more than
Heimlich County.
Copy !req
441. I'm not gonna
make that call.
Copy !req
442. On one condition.
Copy !req
443. Team Peggy merges forces
with Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
444. We'll call it Team Sizemore.
Copy !req
445. I accept.
Copy !req
446. On one condition.
Copy !req
447. That I get to sell.
Copy !req
448. Starting with this house.
Granted.
Copy !req
449. And I get to keep the bus bench.
Copy !req
450. Denied.
Copy !req
451. Then in the print ad
Copy !req
452. I am the first member
of Team Sizemore
Copy !req
453. to pour out
of the cornucopia.
Copy !req
454. Ooh, that's going to
tick off Walker Lee.
Copy !req
455. But motivate
him as well. Done.
Copy !req
456. King me.
Copy !req
457. King me.
Copy !req
458. King me.
Copy !req
459. Who else besides Bill
didn't bring tees?
Copy !req
460. Me!
Copy !req
461. Huh.
Copy !req
462. Well, Duckworth must
have been a skier.
Copy !req
463. Squid boat.
Squid boat!
