0:03:14 > 0:03:17And that is why I have chosen you
0:03:17 > 0:03:22to present the truth about me to the world.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27My name is Sam Bicke.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And I consider myself a grain of sand.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Give me three of the brown and an avocado.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Er...are you interested in that chair?
0:04:38 > 0:04:43This is, um, this is a Naugahyde, very good for avoiding stains.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I look like that big a slob?
0:04:45 > 0:04:51- No!- I mean, can't sit on this plastic stuff. I get sweaty and stick to it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54This doesn't come in leather, huh?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Er, not this chair...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Jack Jones.- Bill Wilson.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Bill, what our new associate's trying to explain, I think,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06is that this IS leather with a Naugahyde coating.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Coating?- Exactly.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10The comfort of leather.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Just a little easier to clean.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15No extra cost.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- How does it feel?- It IS comfy.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- You know what you look like sitting in that chair?- What?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23You look like the boss.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Are you the boss? - I got my own place.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Hah! What did I tell you? Did you write the gentleman up, Sam?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31No, he didn't, er...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Write the gentleman up.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40My card. Now, can we deliver this for you Monday, or is Tuesday better?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, Tuesday's probably better...
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Mr Bernstein, sir, there are times that I have felt alone on this planet.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And that's how they want us, isn't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Alone. Divided.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Weak.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- To our new closer.- Hear, hear.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03HE SNIFFS
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Do you smell something?- I- do.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I smell success.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Ha-ha, and you've got the odour.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12All right, Sam!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Why do I say that to you, Sam?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Well, I certainly am trying, I really... - It's got nothing to do with trying.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It's believing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23When you believe in what you're selling,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25you succeed.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Because then you're not selling. You see what I'm saying?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32You're talking from somewhere here.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36You've got to believe. It's a gift. I've got it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Marty's got it. You may have it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I can believe in anything.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Isn't that right, Marty?- It's true.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48You want to know who the greatest salesman in the world is? That man, right there. Right there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:57He sold the whole country, 200 million people, on himself, twice.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- And what was Nixon's sales pitch in '68?- Well, in '68, it was, um...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04He said he would end the war.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08He would get us out of Vietnam. And what did he do?
0:07:09 > 0:07:15He sent another 100,000 troops in, and then he bombed the living shit out of them. That's what he did.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Now, what did Nixon run on last year?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Ending the war in Vietnam.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And he won. By a landslide.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28That is a salesman.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31He made a promise. He didn't deliver.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37And then he sold us on the exact same promise, all over again.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's believing in yourself.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49These are for you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Read them.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54These, you listen to.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01While you're taking a shit in the morning.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02You gotta believe, Sam.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05This book right here will teach you to believe in yourself.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07This book right here...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09will really teach you techniques.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11These will make you a salesman.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I guarantee it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- RECORDED VOICE: - The salesman who believes is the salesman who receives.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Remember, power is a state of mind.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You have as much as you think you have.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29If you don't think you have any, you don't.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Talk about yourself as you see yourself.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36And some day that will be yourself.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The salesman must see himself as a winner.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44The salesman who believes is the salesman who receives.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- For crying out loud.- Hi, Mel.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Did you see your brother?- No.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56He just walked out, just now!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Ach... So, how's it going? What're you up to?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, I...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I really just came by to give this.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07This is what I owe him.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12And if you could just get that to him for me, I'd appreciate it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Come on, Sam. Julius felt bad how things turned out.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Why don't you stick around till he gets back?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Um, he didn't go home?- No. He just ran out to the bank.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22He'll be right back. Sit down.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I really... I got to go, Mel.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Sit down.- I can't sit down, Mel, but it's very good to see you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, don't be a stranger.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06- A thousand?- One thousand. - Man, they got big plans for you.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You look good, Sam.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I feel good.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I believe.- Amen, brother. You've got to believe.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Sam Bicke, salesman!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I was just thinking that I would go see Marie.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27That I would surprise her because I have a little something extra for her this month.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30All right, then.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You don't think it's a good idea.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37You've got to know what's right, Sam.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Nobody thinks that Sam Bicke is going to make it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Hey, I didn't say that.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46You just wait and see.

0:14:53 > 0:14:59Um, what I can do is I can give you 10% off that desk, which is 476.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Jesus, Sam, that's your best price?
0:15:02 > 0:15:03It's our selection of the month.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Excuse me.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21What are you doing?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Are you out of your fucking mind?
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- Offering 10%? Are you trying to give the stuff away?- You said...
0:15:28 > 0:15:29It's already been marked down.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36For Christ's sake, that is less than we paid for the damn thing.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- You know, I think there's been a misunderstanding.- I'm not interested in what you think.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I'm interested in what you're gonna do about it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Um, I-I guess I could tell him... - You can't tell him shit.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You've made the offer.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53That's it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Go out and hope he doesn't take it.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59All right, Mr Jones.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Sir, can I show you some of our other...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05There's some very nice... Oh.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24You looked like you were gonna shit your pants!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- You're on the board.- You looked like you were gonna crap your pants!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- You see him write that cheque? - He did it to me, we do it to you.
0:16:30 > 0:16:3250-50 all right with you?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Sure.- Good job, Sam.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40Hey, don't tell me you knew what was going on? Bullshit! Bullshit! Hey!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43TOOL CRASHES DOWN It's not lying. It's business.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47But it's not right. I should have said something on the spot.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50No, you shouldn't have.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54What are you saying? That I should swallow something like that?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57It makes me sad that you would accept something, of all people.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Sam, I'm just saying it's not that big a deal.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It is a big deal.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Bonny, if we're going to be partners, we have to get this kind of thing straight.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Sam, I get it. OK?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I've been there.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13But this guy's your boss.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17If he wants to be an asshole, that's something you just might have to let him do.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- But Bonny...- There's no "but", Sam. - What about my rights?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23You've got a right to be mad, sure.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- Exactly. That's what I'm saying, partner. That's all I'm saying... - Sam, Sam, it's a job.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32See, this is what I mean. A man doesn't give up his rights at a job.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35A man doesn't give up his rights anywhere.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- You of all people should know that. - What should I know?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Cos I'm black, I should mouth off to my boss?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44All this rights shit.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Rights this, rights that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Rights, my ass. It's a job.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52You got a right to pay your bills, pay for your kids.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm just saying, you know,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57you can't keep quitting jobs.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59We all gotta work somehow.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Come on, bud. You're a salesman, right?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Just do it good like you do.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19'Explain this to me, Mr Bernstein.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28'All I want is a little piece of the American Dream.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30'Like my father and his father.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41..Great changes, at the same time.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45One change is defence spending is on the way down now.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- For the first time in years, the Federal government is spending more. - That's too much salt.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I know. Sorry.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56How is it?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It is good.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Remember Sam Junior used to call these "mashapotos"?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Remember?- That's right.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Is everything OK at work?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Top of the charts.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Top of the sales board.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm doing very well.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17That's great.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Maybe I'll be driving a Cadillac soon.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Mm-hm...
0:21:23 > 0:21:25He was a friend of yours?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Who?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30With the Cadillac. I drove by last night...
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Jesus, are you spying on me?- No.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36What you doing lurking around the house for?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Huh?- I wasn't lurking, Marie. I just...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45You told me to call. I called and nobody answered, so...
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I said, try me, OK? You know what?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I don't want to talk about this.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55I respect that.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I just want you to know I'm not seeing anyone.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04OK, that's your business.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09It's important to me that you know that.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10OK, fine.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now I know.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Table four wants their cheque.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'm sorry.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19OK? I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22You know, I just...
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Can I... Can I call you later?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Look, if I get off at a decent hour, I'll call you...
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- All right?- All right.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41'Mr Bernstein, sir, there are people who sit and wait their lives away
0:22:41 > 0:22:45'on the promise of a dream that will not come.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46'They are the sheep.'
0:22:46 > 0:22:51We have a great deal to be thankful for as Americans tonight.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57You've chosen El Dorado, with front-wheel drive. It's our most...
0:22:57 > 0:23:03'But there are also many, many more like us, Maestro...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05'who will not be pushed around.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09The time has come when the masses have been pushed to the wall.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12When they cannot any longer address their grievances
0:23:12 > 0:23:14through legal, political machinery.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17We're not the decision-makers, the masses are.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22If they think it's time to overthrow the system, there's nothing you or the President or anyone else can do.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Hi. I'm Sam Bicke.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Harold.- How are you?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Yeah. Are you with the police?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51No, I'm not police. I'm Sam Bicke.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yeah, I got that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55What can I do for you, Sam?
0:23:55 > 0:24:01Well, as a matter of fact, um, I've seen you on television.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I mean, the Panthers on television,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and I am in complete agreement with your stand.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12- Except that I'm white. - We've all got to be born something.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Yes, well, do you know what that means?
0:24:17 > 0:24:23It means you're not getting to your whole audience.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I mean, I'm white,
0:24:26 > 0:24:27but I'm in the same boat.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- You own the boat. - No, I don't own the boat.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I'm not the man in the Cadillac.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37That's not me. Um...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41May I?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Harold...
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- Yes.- Well, Harold, I feel like I can talk to you. I sort of knew it would be like that.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I know what it's like
0:24:57 > 0:25:02to not be respected, be lied to and be treated like a great big nothing,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04and I want to do something.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06You want to do something?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Like the Black Panthers, I want to do something.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13The system is, um, not right.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19I have to...I have to go, but I want to throw an idea at you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Zebras.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Zebras?
0:25:29 > 0:25:36- Zebras.- Mm...- See, they're black and they're white.- Mm-hm...
0:25:36 > 0:25:44The Black Panthers become the Zebras, and membership will double.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I don't want you to answer me right now.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Just think about it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58This is 107.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03I just...I wanted to feel like I was starting to do something.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It's a great place to start, Sam.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Right on!- It's a great start.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Take a look.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16You see what I see?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18What's that?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You're familiar with Carnegie, right?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28I gave it to you.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Dale Carnegie. How To Win Friends And Influence People.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Oh, yes. I know the book.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38No, you don't.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You've seen the book.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Maybe browsed through it, but you don't know the book.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45If you knew the book,
0:26:45 > 0:26:51you'd know what I mean when I say, "Always give a dog a good name."
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Always give a dog a name.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59A good name. Damn it. You've really got to listen better.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00You're right. I'm sorry.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It's a Carnegie technique for dealing with people.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08When somebody's performance isn't good, you don't criticise them.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10You don't say, "Your work's shit."
0:27:10 > 0:27:16Instead you say, "Your work used to be great, now it's not so great."
0:27:16 > 0:27:17And then...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20you ask them a question like,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22"Everything OK at home?"
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Are you asking me?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm teaching you. You just learned a management technique.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34You don't mind me teaching you, do you?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- No, sir.- Good.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Just one more little thing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42But, Marie, he wants me to cut it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46It's a job, Sam. Shave it off. You'll forget you ever had a moustache.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I won't forget. I'll never forget.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Marie, don't you remember?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Remember what? - Daddy, do you like my picture?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Yes, honey, it's very nice.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Helen...- I grew it for you.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Oh, Sam, please.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Mom!
0:28:03 > 0:28:08You've got to see these people, they just lie to make money.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11And then, I'm the sleazy one of these so-called businessmen.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- God damn it.- I mean, they...
0:28:14 > 0:28:17they don't, they don't have any right
0:28:17 > 0:28:22to say half of the things that they say to us.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I mean, look at the way they make you dress.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I dress like this so I can support my family.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Marie... Can't you see...
0:28:59 > 0:29:01..what they're doing to us?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06You're going to lose this job, aren't you?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10What?
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Marie, I'm not going to lose my job.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Just tell me now, because I can do it on my own.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24I'm doing...I'm doing great.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26I'm doing great!
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I'm so tired of this.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43I don't want you stopping by like this any more.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53I really mean it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:11I think it looks good, and it makes me look a little older and trustworthy.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13You would trust me.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15That's not really the point, though,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- is what I'm saying...- I'm surprised you would say that, Bonny.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23I really am, because I would think that you would have more feeling.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Joey, let's get some of these dishes cleared and get you to bed.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28No, no, no. You sit.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Joey.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Yes, ma'am.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37That's a good kid.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39That's a real good kid.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Yeah, his mother taught him well. - I bet she did. I bet she did.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46No offence, but I wouldn't be surprised if his father had something to do with that.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50He probably got something from me.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55What do you think, Joey? If your father went away, would that make you sad?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58He's not gonna go away.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Of course he's not. If he did?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04If your mommy wanted him to go.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- She wouldn't say that.- You know, sweetheart, why don't you just leave those there,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12it's past your bedtime. Give your father a kiss.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Good night, Daddy.- Good night, baby.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Things will work out, Sam.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20You'll see.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Good night, Mommy.- Good night, baby.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Say good night to your Uncle Sam.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Good night, Uncle Sam.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Good night, son.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Good night, son.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I know it was important to you, Sam.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I want to thank you for the sacrifice.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I think it was a good decision.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Now you can smile.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28You look like a family man instead of some schmuck with a pussy on his face.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- Marty?- Yes.
0:32:31 > 0:32:38Get up to the spic's place and get me an egg salad, and whatever else you want.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43'Is independence too much to ask, Mr Bernstein?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46'I mean, you're your own boss, right?
0:32:46 > 0:32:52'You don't have any idea what it's like to work for somebody else, like some kind of a slave.
0:32:52 > 0:32:59'But I'm telling you, slavery never really ended in this country.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04'They just gave it another name - employee.'
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- TAPE:- Remember, power is a state of mind.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10You have as much as you think you have.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13If you don't think you have any, you don't.
0:33:13 > 0:33:20Talk about yourself as you see yourself, and someday that will be yourself.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23The salesman must see himself as a winner.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- OK.- Say it along with me.- Sure.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32I'm not sure I understand this business about the school bus.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36That's just it. The bus is the business.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38It's a movable store.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41A movable tyre store?
0:33:41 > 0:33:48Exactly. Exactly. You see, we take out all of the seats, just gut the whole bus,
0:33:48 > 0:33:51and put the tyres, fill it up with the tyres.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Then you bring the tyres to the customer, at his convenience.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You're a delivery service?
0:33:56 > 0:34:01Well, that's just the beginning of it, because I would bring the tyre, change the tyre,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04I'll put the tyre on your car while you're mowing the lawn.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Or anything else that that you want to do.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10And we'd paint the bus a bright red because that would give the company
0:34:10 > 0:34:15its own individual identity and make it memorable. A sort of trademark.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17And you have the bus already?
0:34:17 > 0:34:22My friend, my partner, Bonny, has the bus and he has the tools, and I bring the management experience.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24And that you have as well?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26That I do, sir. Yes, I do.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31All right, it says here you're currently employed as an office furniture salesman?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Mm-hm, that's correct, but I'm ready to move on.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40And prior to office sales, you were a tyre salesman with your father?
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- Julius Bicke, that was, that's my, that is my brother.- Brother.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48OK, and why did you leave his employment?
0:34:48 > 0:34:54Well, he, um, he expected me to lie.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58I don't believe that someone should have to lie to make a living.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05- All right.- Over and over he would tell me that, um,
0:35:05 > 0:35:0815% is rock bottom.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Sell below that, we lose money. That's a lie.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15In the retail tyre business, the mark-up is always at least 30%.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19So, 30 is rock bottom.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22What one should tell the customer...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Let me show you.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Well, good morning, Mr Ford.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29I think I understand, Mr Bicke.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Let-Let me just show you.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Good morning. Sam Bicke.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You're here to buy tyres?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Um, yes.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Well, let's get down to brass tacks. This is the deal.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45The mark-up on all of my tyres is 30%.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I will show you the company invoice to prove that to you.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52I'll do that for you, Mr Ford. I'll make you my best offer.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I'll split the difference with you.
0:35:54 > 0:36:00I'll take half the mark-up as my profit and you'll take half the mark-up as your savings.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Even Steven. Fair deal.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05What do you think?
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- What do- I- think? Or...- Yes. No, I'm back to normal now.- Oh...
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- It's 15%.- Exactly.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18But it's the same thing, what your brother offered.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23No, no. No, no, no, no, no. My brother, my brother will go to 15%,
0:36:23 > 0:36:27but he wants you to hold at list. 5% if you have to,
0:36:27 > 0:36:3010% if you're gonna lose the customer out the door,
0:36:30 > 0:36:35but the salesman who offers 15%, he's a failure.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38He's a man who doesn't know how to hold his ground.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41And who do you think,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45at the end of the month, gets the promotion, gets the bonus?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48The one with the biggest profit margin?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49The biggest liar.
0:36:51 > 0:36:58I'm sorry. I just want you to know that I would run an honest business.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02That I would not ask my salesmen to lie or make them feel
0:37:02 > 0:37:07like a failure or some kind of a piece of garbage.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Well, that's, um... I admire that.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Your idea?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Yes, sir.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Well, that's it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22That's it?
0:37:22 > 0:37:27Mr Ford, I want to thank you, sir, because this loan isn't just for me.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31I think it can change the way we think about American business.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Mr Bicke, I'm, I'm very sorry, I'm really very sorry.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36That's it for now.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41I have to send your application on to Washington, and they will review it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43It's a whole process.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Oh... Well, of course. Of course!
0:37:50 > 0:37:56Mr Ford at the SBA. Bonny, I gotta tell you, he was very impressed.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Did you tell him the bus don't run?
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- I didn't.- Sam, Sam! Did you tell him your partner was black?
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- I did, yes. I checked the "Negro" box.- That was stupid, Sam.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11No, Bonny.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14The government is looking for black businessmen.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17BONNY LAUGHS I've been here 16 years, and they haven't found me yet.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Ellen, sit next to Julie. Sam.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Come on, son. Ellen, can you just sit.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28That's great, Julie.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35OK, Ellen, sit next to your sister.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Come on, Sam Junior.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44Ellen... Ellen, honey, sit next to Julie.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Come on, you guys. Dinner's ready. - Daddy's taking a picture.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53That's all right, honey, I got it.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- See you next Sunday, Sam. - Yeah, I'll see you next Sunday.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Tuffer!
0:39:03 > 0:39:04No, Tuffer, Tuffer...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Tuffer...
0:39:08 > 0:39:10MUSIC ON TV
0:39:32 > 0:39:37No, 125 is your total. I let the tax slide.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Thank you.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41You remind me of my ex-wife.
0:39:41 > 0:39:47She has got the dimples also, when she smiles. They're nice.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Mm... Compliments and a good deal. I should shop here more often.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55You should, miss, or is it missus?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Miss.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Is this the current phone?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Yes.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Would you like me...would you like me to deliver it?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09No. That's all right. I'll have someone from the office stop by.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11It wouldn't be a problem.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13I'll be just fine.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17You already are.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I don't want you to deliver it. I'll have it picked up.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23No, I didn't mean that I, personally...
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- We have people... I don't, I don't deliver.- Thank you.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40I think there's been a misunderstanding.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I love my wife... I love her very much.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46We are all married men. Family men.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Yeah. Yeah...
0:40:49 > 0:40:56Because...what's odd about your aborted flirtation with that woman today,
0:40:56 > 0:41:01according to Marty's recollection, correct me if I'm wrong, is that
0:41:01 > 0:41:07you referred to her dimples as being like those of your EX-wife's.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I don't think I did that.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- He sure did.- I think there's been a misunderstanding.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16As I told you
0:41:16 > 0:41:21when I took you on, I only hire married men.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24A single salesman is distracted.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30A divorced salesman fails at selling, the same as marriage.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33It's all right for a guy to, um,
0:41:33 > 0:41:38lie to some broad about not being married when he is.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40That's fine. That's to be expected.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45But you wouldn't expect that guy to lie to his boss, would you?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50I guess I...
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I guess I did try to pick up on that woman. I just...
0:41:56 > 0:42:02I didn't want you to think that I was being dishonest to my wife.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05You did try to pick her up then?
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Yes.- My son was correct in his estimation of your character?
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Yes. Yes, yes. Yes.
0:42:15 > 0:42:21And if I were to ask you and your wife to join me and Marty and our wives
0:42:21 > 0:42:26for dinner in, say, a week or two, that would be OK with you?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Yes, I think that, um...
0:42:37 > 0:42:38..she'd like that very much.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45'When I was little I was taught not to be rude, Mr Bernstein, but...
0:42:45 > 0:42:48'what am I supposed to do about the people who won't respect me?'
0:42:48 > 0:42:51What I wanted to do is just check on the status of my application.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56Sorry, Mr Bicke. Mr Ford should have told you, but processing takes eight to ten weeks.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58No, he did not tell me that.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Perhaps you could check back, say, 1st September.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- September?- Yes.- Um...
0:43:13 > 0:43:16I do understand your position.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18I'm sure that you...
0:43:18 > 0:43:21I'm sure that you deal with a lot of incompetence.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25But I am a businessman,
0:43:25 > 0:43:27and a businessman can't wait.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30If you gonna have a future, you gotta make it.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33So I would really appreciate it if I could see Mr Ford.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- What was your first name?- Samuel J.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39I will talk to Mr Ford,
0:43:39 > 0:43:44and if he has time for a meeting, we'll call you next week.
0:43:44 > 0:43:50- Since I'm here, maybe I could just see him.- If he has time,
0:43:50 > 0:43:53we'll call you next week. Deal?
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Deal.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Least you could do is discourage him.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Double bourbon, vodka martini up.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20It would help if you wore your wedding ring.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22For God's sake, Sam, aren't we done yet?
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Would you consider going to the dinner?
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- You could drive your own car.- No! I'm not gonna put on some charade.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33If you're their top salesman, what do they care if you're married, divorced or queer?
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Sir, you should be ashamed of yourself. That woman is my wife.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- They make her wear that. They MAKE her!- For God's sake, Sam.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53What?!
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Really, it's all right.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- I'll just wait here. I'm fine here. - Mr Bicke, please...
0:45:09 > 0:45:13He'll understand. He'll be leaving at some point and he'll be going to his car.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17He'll leave at some point and I'll just walk him down...
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- Mr Bicke.- Mr Ford.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Mr Ford.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23It's good to see you, sir.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Look, why don't we step outside and get a cup of coffee?
0:45:25 > 0:45:27- How's that?- Coffee.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29In the cafeteria.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Actually, there's a machine in the lobby.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34The lobby's fine. That's fine.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Have a seat.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Now, how exactly can I help you, Mr Bicke?
0:45:45 > 0:45:50Yes, well, sir... Funnily enough, my situation is that I-I-I really...
0:45:50 > 0:45:56It's very urgent that I get this thing rolling, if you know what I mean.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57No, I don't.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00The bus thing. The tyre thing.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Yes, I remember your application and I sent it along.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05There's nothing more I can do.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07You can't tell me anything else?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09No, I can't.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13I told you in our meeting, and I believe you were told again,
0:46:13 > 0:46:16the process will take eight to ten weeks.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18You'll be notified by mail.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21You can't... expedite that in some..?
0:46:21 > 0:46:25It will take eight to ten weeks, and you'll be notified by mail.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Now, I have to get back.
0:46:32 > 0:46:37- You know, is there some way that this could be speeded up?- No.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39No, there isn't.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43And if you come back again, I will have to add that to your file.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Impatience is not a virtue, Mr Bicke.
0:46:46 > 0:46:47Yeah.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50OK. Good luck.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58In the mail, then?
0:47:01 > 0:47:02Yes.

0:48:00 > 0:48:07The Earth belongs to the bullies who do not care how they get to the top...as long as they arrive.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19I am an honest man, and if that is to be my undoing, then so be it.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21But I will not go quietly.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40You've just got to have a little more patience, that's all.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03- I paid you to fix the leak. - You've still got one?
0:49:03 > 0:49:07I've got half a fucking dozen of 'em. What kind of rip-off joint you running here, anyhow?
0:49:08 > 0:49:13- You sound like you're having a bad day.- Yeah, I'm having a bad day with this fucking car.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Look at this shit. Look at this hose.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23When you change water hoses, you drive 'em round a couple of days
0:49:23 > 0:49:26- and then come back. - You should've told me that then!
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Look at this hose. It's leaking over here, too.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47- You have a nice day now.- Yeah(!)
0:49:52 > 0:49:53Sam!
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Man...
0:49:58 > 0:50:01What is the matter with you? This thing is loaded!
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Nobody should talk to another person like that.
0:50:04 > 0:50:09- So you swing this fucking thing around?! Are you out of your mind? - He didn't respect you.- So what?
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- You think I'm losing sleep over that bullshit?- But how can you take that racist crap?- Whoa!
0:50:13 > 0:50:17Just because I didn't cuss his ass out doesn't mean I took shit off of him!
0:50:17 > 0:50:20All I took off of him was the money that he owed me.
0:50:20 > 0:50:25I sure as shit ain't some kind of Uncle Tom, if that's what you're trying to say.
0:50:25 > 0:50:26Are we clear on that?
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Yes, we're clear.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Jesus Christ!
0:50:34 > 0:50:38I didn't mean that you were a Tom.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39I didn't mean that.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47I'm so sorry, Bonny.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I'm sorry.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Are we still friends?

1:00:53 > 1:00:55Please let them know, maestro...
1:00:55 > 1:00:59- HE CLICKS SWITCH - ..let them know I was nervous...
1:01:01 > 1:01:06..that, unlike the powerful, I was not so arrogant...
1:01:06 > 1:01:11as to be sure that my actions were righteous.
1:01:11 > 1:01:15Certainty is the disease of kings, Maestro.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19And Sam Bicke was many things...
1:01:19 > 1:01:21but not a king.
1:01:21 > 1:01:24He just wanted to make a change.
1:01:24 > 1:01:27To stop the lies.
1:01:27 > 1:01:28And he aimed high.
1:01:52 > 1:01:53Hello, Samuel.
1:01:55 > 1:01:59The landlord was kind enough to allow me in.
1:01:59 > 1:02:01He stopped by. I see you received his note.
1:02:04 > 1:02:05Julius.
1:02:05 > 1:02:08We have some things to discuss, don't you think?
1:02:08 > 1:02:10To discuss?
1:02:13 > 1:02:17- Good seeing you, of course. - Cut the crap. Sit down.
1:02:28 > 1:02:31You're a very strange man, Samuel.
1:02:33 > 1:02:35I've always known this.
1:02:36 > 1:02:38I've always tried to help.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43So why would you steal from me, your brother?
1:02:47 > 1:02:49- I didn't... I didn't steal... - You did.
1:02:49 > 1:02:53I had to bail your friend Bonny out of jail this evening.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58- Bonny?- For receiving stolen goods.
1:02:58 > 1:03:00My goods.
1:03:00 > 1:03:06Did you think Roger Zeffler wouldn't become suspicious of your friend?
1:03:06 > 1:03:12That somehow this delivery was kosher? That 550 tyres belonged to that address?
1:03:16 > 1:03:18Roger Zeffler is a racist.
1:03:18 > 1:03:21Perhaps that's so. Shame on Roger Zeffler.
1:03:21 > 1:03:24But you, you're are a crook.
1:03:24 > 1:03:26So, you tell me, Sam.
1:03:26 > 1:03:28Which shame is greater?
1:03:28 > 1:03:32- I am not...- Look at me. Look at me.
1:03:34 > 1:03:36This is your brother.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39Your brother.
1:03:39 > 1:03:42Do I deserve this now, for you to lie to me?
1:03:45 > 1:03:48- Julius, please.- No, no, no.
1:03:48 > 1:03:50No "please, Julius". No, no. No!
1:03:52 > 1:03:55I have been to the police,
1:03:55 > 1:03:58begging forgiveness for a mistake that was not a mistake.
1:03:58 > 1:04:00Because I took responsibility, Samuel,
1:04:00 > 1:04:04responsibility, so that no-one would go to jail.
1:04:04 > 1:04:10So that this man, Bonny, your friend, would not go to jail.
1:04:10 > 1:04:12And my family caused this.
1:04:13 > 1:04:17So you must tell me, Sam, please,
1:04:17 > 1:04:20which is the greater shame?
1:04:21 > 1:04:23Which?
1:04:37 > 1:04:39I'm sorry, Julius.
1:04:42 > 1:04:44What is your name?
1:04:46 > 1:04:47Hmm?
1:04:49 > 1:04:50I...
1:04:50 > 1:04:53I had... I had...an idea.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58For a tyre business.
1:04:58 > 1:04:59Like you.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04- And I just... - HE SIGHS
1:05:04 > 1:05:08I wanted to get a head start until my loan came in,
1:05:08 > 1:05:10and my loan was denied,
1:05:10 > 1:05:13because they're racists.
1:05:13 > 1:05:14Nixon.
1:05:14 > 1:05:16All of them!
1:05:18 > 1:05:19Like Zeffler.
1:05:21 > 1:05:26I didn't get the money because my partner is black.
1:05:29 > 1:05:31I was gonna pay you back.
1:05:31 > 1:05:34I'm just trying to keep my family together.
1:05:34 > 1:05:37And the little guy can't do it any more.
1:05:37 > 1:05:39He just can't do it any more.
1:05:39 > 1:05:42Because there's a cancer in the system.
1:05:42 > 1:05:47The whole system has a cancer, and I'm being punished because I resist.
1:05:47 > 1:05:51But somebody has to resist, just somebody has to resist.
1:05:56 > 1:05:58You're my brother. You're my brother.
1:06:03 > 1:06:05As of this moment, Samuel...
1:06:07 > 1:06:10..I wash my hands of you.
1:06:10 > 1:06:12No more. That's it. Nothing.
1:06:12 > 1:06:15And if you steal from me again, brother or no brother,
1:06:15 > 1:06:18I will send you to jail.

1:07:54 > 1:07:56It wasn't like a light bulb, really.
1:07:56 > 1:07:59It was more like an old candle, you know,
1:07:59 > 1:08:02just a plain, simple idea.

1:08:43 > 1:08:45(I'm sorry.)
1:08:49 > 1:08:53It's a shame innocent lives are going to have to be lost, Maestro.
1:08:53 > 1:09:00And I will do my best to prevent as many deaths as I possibly can.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02But that won't be easy.
1:09:04 > 1:09:08If history teaches us anything,
1:09:08 > 1:09:13it's that you have got to get the seat of government.
