Mr Bernstein. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
I have the utmost respect for you. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Your music is both pure | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
and honest. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
And that is why I have chosen you | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
to present the truth about me to the world. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
My name is Sam Bicke. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
And I consider myself a grain of sand. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
On this beach called America, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
there are 211 million grains of sand, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
three billion on the beach we call Earth. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
If I am lucky, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
if I am lucky, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
the action that I am about to take | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
will show the powerful... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
..that even... | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
..the least | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
grain of sand | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
has in him... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
..the power to destroy them. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
These come in brown? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
We do, we have that in a brown... | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
in a brown. And there's a harvest gold. And an avocado. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Give me three of the brown and an avocado. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Er...are you interested in that chair? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
This is, um, this is a Naugahyde, very good for avoiding stains. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
I look like that big a slob? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-No! -I mean, can't sit on this plastic stuff. I get sweaty and stick to it. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:51 | |
This doesn't come in leather, huh? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Er, not this chair... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-Jack Jones. -Bill Wilson. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Bill, what our new associate's trying to explain, I think, | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
is that this IS leather with a Naugahyde coating. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-Coating? -Exactly. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
The comfort of leather. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Just a little easier to clean. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
No extra cost. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-How does it feel? -It IS comfy. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
-You know what you look like sitting in that chair? -What? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
You look like the boss. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-Are you the boss? -I got my own place. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Hah! What did I tell you? Did you write the gentleman up, Sam? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
No, he didn't, er... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Write the gentleman up. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
My card. Now, can we deliver this for you Monday, or is Tuesday better? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:40 | |
Well, Tuesday's probably better... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Mr Bernstein, sir, there are times that I have felt alone on this planet. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
And that's how they want us, isn't it? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Alone. Divided. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Weak. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-To our new closer. -Hear, hear. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
HE SNIFFS | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-Do you smell something? -I -do. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
I smell success. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Ha-ha, and you've got the odour. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
All right, Sam! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Why do I say that to you, Sam? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
-Well, I certainly am trying, I really... -It's got nothing to do with trying. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
It's believing. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
When you believe in what you're selling, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
you succeed. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Because then you're not selling. You see what I'm saying? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
You're talking from somewhere here. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
You've got to believe. It's a gift. I've got it. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
Marty's got it. You may have it. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
I can believe in anything. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-Isn't that right, Marty? -It's true. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
You want to know who the greatest salesman in the world is? That man, right there. Right there. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
He sold the whole country, 200 million people, on himself, twice. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:57 | |
-And what was Nixon's sales pitch in '68? -Well, in '68, it was, um... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
He said he would end the war. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
He would get us out of Vietnam. And what did he do? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
He sent another 100,000 troops in, and then he bombed the living shit out of them. That's what he did. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:15 | |
Now, what did Nixon run on last year? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Ending the war in Vietnam. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
And he won. By a landslide. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
That is a salesman. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
He made a promise. He didn't deliver. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
And then he sold us on the exact same promise, all over again. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:37 | |
That's believing in yourself. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
These are for you. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
Read them. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
These, you listen to. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
While you're driving. While you're shaving. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
While you're taking a shit in the morning. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
You gotta believe, Sam. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
This book right here will teach you to believe in yourself. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
This book right here... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
will really teach you techniques. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
These will make you a salesman. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
I guarantee it. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
-RECORDED VOICE: -The salesman who believes is the salesman who receives. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
Remember, power is a state of mind. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
You have as much as you think you have. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
If you don't think you have any, you don't. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Talk about yourself as you see yourself. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
And some day that will be yourself. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
The salesman must see himself as a winner. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
The salesman who believes is the salesman who receives. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-For crying out loud. -Hi, Mel. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
-Did you see your brother? -No. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
He just walked out, just now! | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Ach... So, how's it going? What're you up to? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Well, I... | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
I really just came by to give this. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
This is what I owe him. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
And if you could just get that to him for me, I'd appreciate it. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
Come on, Sam. Julius felt bad how things turned out. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
Why don't you stick around till he gets back? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-Um, he didn't go home? -No. He just ran out to the bank. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
He'll be right back. Sit down. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
I really... I got to go, Mel. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
-Sit down. -I can't sit down, Mel, but it's very good to see you. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
Well, don't be a stranger. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
HE TAPS AT THE WINDOW | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
MAN CHUCKLES | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Look at you, man. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-Look at that. -"Sam Bicke, Salesman." Damn. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
You can keep that. They made a thousand of them. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-A thousand? -One thousand. -Man, they got big plans for you. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
You look good, Sam. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
I feel good. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-I believe. -Amen, brother. You've got to believe. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
Sam Bicke, salesman! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
I was just thinking that I would go see Marie. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
That I would surprise her because I have a little something extra for her this month. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:27 | |
All right, then. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
You don't think it's a good idea. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
You've got to know what's right, Sam. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Nobody thinks that Sam Bicke is going to make it. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Hey, I didn't say that. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
You just wait and see. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |

'What happened, Mr Bernstein, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
'to the land of plenty... | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
'when there's plenty for the few, | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |

Now remember, the customer's weapon is money. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
That's what he'll want to talk about. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Your weapon is quality. That's what you'll insist on talking about. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
Don't get caught in the price game. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
When he asks how much it is, you tell him how great it is. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
How much? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:04 | |
This is a very high quality desk. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
This one is 38 inches... | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
How much is it? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:14 | |
This, um, 529. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
I-I really believe in this desk. I want to show you something. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-This is... -It's all right. I know pretty much what to look for... | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
in a desk. Well, Sam. It's Sam, right? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
I'm gonna be buying a lot of stuff and I'm just wondering, what's your best price? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |

-I'll see what I can do for you. -All right. -OK. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
All right... Give it your best shot. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
I'll do that. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Okey-dokey. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
Um, what I can do is I can give you 10% off that desk, which is 476. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
Jesus, Sam, that's your best price? | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
It's our selection of the month. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:03 | |
Excuse me. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Can I see you in my office for a minute please, Sam? | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Yes, I'll be right... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
I'll be right with you. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
What are you doing? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:21 | |
Are you out of your fucking mind? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-Offering 10%? Are you trying to give the stuff away? -You said... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
It's already been marked down. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
For Christ's sake, that is less than we paid for the damn thing. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
-You know, I think there's been a misunderstanding. -I'm not interested in what you think. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
I'm interested in what you're gonna do about it. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-Um, I-I guess I could tell him... -You can't tell him shit. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
You've made the offer. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
That's it. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Go out and hope he doesn't take it. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
All right, Mr Jones. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
Sir, can I show you some of our other... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
There's some very nice... Oh. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
All right, then. Yep. Yep. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
You looked like you were gonna shit your pants! | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
-You're on the board. -You looked like you were gonna crap your pants! | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-You see him write that cheque? -He did it to me, we do it to you. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
50-50 all right with you? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
-Sure. -Good job, Sam. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
Hey, don't tell me you knew what was going on? Bullshit! Bullshit! Hey! | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
TOOL CRASHES DOWN It's not lying. It's business. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
But it's not right. I should have said something on the spot. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
No, you shouldn't have. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
What are you saying? That I should swallow something like that? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
It makes me sad that you would accept something, of all people. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Sam, I'm just saying it's not that big a deal. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
It is a big deal. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
Bonny, if we're going to be partners, we have to get this kind of thing straight. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:07 | |
Sam, I get it. OK? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
I've been there. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
But this guy's your boss. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
If he wants to be an asshole, that's something you just might have to let him do. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-But Bonny... -There's no "but", Sam. -What about my rights? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
You've got a right to be mad, sure. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Exactly. That's what I'm saying, partner. That's all I'm saying... -Sam, Sam, it's a job. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:28 | |
See, this is what I mean. A man doesn't give up his rights at a job. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
A man doesn't give up his rights anywhere. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
-You of all people should know that. -What should I know? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Cos I'm black, I should mouth off to my boss? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
All this rights shit. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Rights this, rights that. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
Rights, my ass. It's a job. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
You got a right to pay your bills, pay for your kids. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
I'm just saying, you know, | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
you can't keep quitting jobs. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
We all gotta work somehow. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Come on, bud. You're a salesman, right? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
Just do it good like you do. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
'Explain this to me, Mr Bernstein. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
'All I want is a little piece of the American Dream. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
'Like my father and his father. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
'Is that too much to expect?' | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
PHONE RINGS OUT | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Hey, Tuffer. Hey, boy. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
You miss me, don't you? Of course you miss me. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
'This is a good country, Maestro. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
'Filled with good people. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
'But what good is good | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
'in times like these?' | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-I've been trying to call. -Double Scotch, Scotch and soda, double bourbon. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
-It's not a good time, Sam. -Oh, no. I know. I just came to say hi. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
-You want to see a menu? -Yes, please. -Here you go. -Thank you. -I'll be right back. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
..Great changes, at the same time. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
One change is defence spending is on the way down now. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
-For the first time in years, the Federal government is spending more. -That's too much salt. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
I know. Sorry. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
How is it? | 0:20:55 | 0:20:56 | |
It is good. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Remember Sam Junior used to call these "mashapotos"? | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-Remember? -That's right. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
Is everything OK at work? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Top of the charts. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
Top of the sales board. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
I'm doing very well. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
That's great. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Maybe I'll be driving a Cadillac soon. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
Mm-hm... | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
He was a friend of yours? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Who? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
With the Cadillac. I drove by last night... | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-Jesus, are you spying on me? -No. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
What you doing lurking around the house for? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-Huh? -I wasn't lurking, Marie. I just... | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
You told me to call. I called and nobody answered, so... | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
I said, try me, OK? You know what? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
I don't want to talk about this. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
I respect that. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:55 | |
I just want you to know I'm not seeing anyone. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
OK, that's your business. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
It's important to me that you know that. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
OK, fine. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
Now I know. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Table four wants their cheque. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
OK? I'm sorry, I didn't mean... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
You know, I just... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Can I... Can I call you later? | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
Look, if I get off at a decent hour, I'll call you... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
-All right? -All right. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
'Mr Bernstein, sir, there are people who sit and wait their lives away | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
'on the promise of a dream that will not come. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
'They are the sheep.' | 0:22:45 | 0:22:46 | |
We have a great deal to be thankful for as Americans tonight. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
You've chosen El Dorado, with front-wheel drive. It's our most... | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
'But there are also many, many more like us, Maestro... | 0:22:57 | 0:23:03 | |
'who will not be pushed around. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
The time has come when the masses have been pushed to the wall. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
When they cannot any longer address their grievances | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
through legal, political machinery. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
We're not the decision-makers, the masses are. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
If they think it's time to overthrow the system, there's nothing you or the President or anyone else can do. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
Hi. I'm Sam Bicke. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
-Harold. -How are you? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Yeah. Are you with the police? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
No, I'm not police. I'm Sam Bicke. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Yeah, I got that. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
What can I do for you, Sam? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Well, as a matter of fact, um, I've seen you on television. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
I mean, the Panthers on television, | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
and I am in complete agreement with your stand. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
-Except that I'm white. -We've all got to be born something. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:12 | |
Yes, well, do you know what that means? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
It means you're not getting to your whole audience. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:23 | |
I mean, I'm white, | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
but I'm in the same boat. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:27 | |
-You own the boat. -No, I don't own the boat. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
I'm not the man in the Cadillac. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
That's not me. Um... | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
May I? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
Harold... | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
-Yes. -Well, Harold, I feel like I can talk to you. I sort of knew it would be like that. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:53 | |
I know what it's like | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
to not be respected, be lied to and be treated like a great big nothing, | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
and I want to do something. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
You want to do something? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Like the Black Panthers, I want to do something. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
The system is, um, not right. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
I have to...I have to go, but I want to throw an idea at you. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
Zebras. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
Zebras? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
-Zebras. -Mm... -See, they're black and they're white. -Mm-hm... | 0:25:29 | 0:25:36 | |
The Black Panthers become the Zebras, and membership will double. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:44 | |
I don't want you to answer me right now. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
Just think about it. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
This is 107. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
I just...I wanted to feel like I was starting to do something. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
It's a great place to start, Sam. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
-Right on! -It's a great start. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Take a look. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
You see what I see? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
What's that? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
You're familiar with Carnegie, right? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
I gave it to you. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
Dale Carnegie. How To Win Friends And Influence People. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Oh, yes. I know the book. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
No, you don't. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
You've seen the book. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Maybe browsed through it, but you don't know the book. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
If you knew the book, | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
you'd know what I mean when I say, "Always give a dog a good name." | 0:26:45 | 0:26:51 | |
Always give a dog a name. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
A good name. Damn it. You've really got to listen better. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:59 | |
You're right. I'm sorry. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
It's a Carnegie technique for dealing with people. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
When somebody's performance isn't good, you don't criticise them. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
You don't say, "Your work's shit." | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Instead you say, "Your work used to be great, now it's not so great." | 0:27:10 | 0:27:16 | |
And then... | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
you ask them a question like, | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
"Everything OK at home?" | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Are you asking me? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
I'm teaching you. You just learned a management technique. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
You don't mind me teaching you, do you? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
-No, sir. -Good. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Just one more little thing. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
But, Marie, he wants me to cut it. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
It's a job, Sam. Shave it off. You'll forget you ever had a moustache. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
I won't forget. I'll never forget. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Marie, don't you remember? | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
-Remember what? -Daddy, do you like my picture? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
Yes, honey, it's very nice. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
-Helen... -I grew it for you. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Oh, Sam, please. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Mom! | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
You've got to see these people, they just lie to make money. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:08 | |
And then, I'm the sleazy one of these so-called businessmen. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
-God damn it. -I mean, they... | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
they don't, they don't have any right | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
to say half of the things that they say to us. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:22 | |
I mean, look at the way they make you dress. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
I dress like this so I can support my family. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
Marie... Can't you see... | 0:28:53 | 0:28:58 | |
..what they're doing to us? | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
You're going to lose this job, aren't you? | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
What? | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
Marie, I'm not going to lose my job. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:11 | |
Just tell me now, because I can do it on my own. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
I'm doing...I'm doing great. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
I'm doing great! | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
I'm so tired of this. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
I don't want you stopping by like this any more. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
I really mean it. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
I think it looks good, and it makes me look a little older and trustworthy. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:11 | |
You would trust me. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
That's not really the point, though, | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
-is what I'm saying... -I'm surprised you would say that, Bonny. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
I really am, because I would think that you would have more feeling. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:23 | |
Joey, let's get some of these dishes cleared and get you to bed. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
No, no, no. You sit. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
Joey. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Yes, ma'am. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
That's a good kid. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:37 | |
That's a real good kid. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
-Yeah, his mother taught him well. -I bet she did. I bet she did. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
No offence, but I wouldn't be surprised if his father had something to do with that. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:46 | |
He probably got something from me. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:50 | |
What do you think, Joey? If your father went away, would that make you sad? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:55 | |
He's not gonna go away. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
Of course he's not. If he did? | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
If your mommy wanted him to go. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
-She wouldn't say that. -You know, sweetheart, why don't you just leave those there, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
it's past your bedtime. Give your father a kiss. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
-Good night, Daddy. -Good night, baby. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
Things will work out, Sam. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
You'll see. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
-Good night, Mommy. -Good night, baby. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
Say good night to your Uncle Sam. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
Good night, Uncle Sam. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
Good night, son. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
Good night, son. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
I know it was important to you, Sam. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
I want to thank you for the sacrifice. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
I think it was a good decision. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
Now you can smile. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
You look like a family man instead of some schmuck with a pussy on his face. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
-Marty? -Yes. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
Get up to the spic's place and get me an egg salad, and whatever else you want. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:38 | |
'Is independence too much to ask, Mr Bernstein? | 0:32:38 | 0:32:43 | |
'I mean, you're your own boss, right? | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
'You don't have any idea what it's like to work for somebody else, like some kind of a slave. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:52 | |
'But I'm telling you, slavery never really ended in this country. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:59 | |
'They just gave it another name - employee.' | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
-TAPE: -Remember, power is a state of mind. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
You have as much as you think you have. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
If you don't think you have any, you don't. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
Talk about yourself as you see yourself, and someday that will be yourself. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:20 | |
The salesman must see himself as a winner. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
-OK. -Say it along with me. -Sure. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
I'm not sure I understand this business about the school bus. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:32 | |
That's just it. The bus is the business. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:36 | |
It's a movable store. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
A movable tyre store? | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
Exactly. Exactly. You see, we take out all of the seats, just gut the whole bus, | 0:33:41 | 0:33:48 | |
and put the tyres, fill it up with the tyres. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Then you bring the tyres to the customer, at his convenience. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
You're a delivery service? | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
Well, that's just the beginning of it, because I would bring the tyre, change the tyre, | 0:33:56 | 0:34:01 | |
I'll put the tyre on your car while you're mowing the lawn. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
Or anything else that that you want to do. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
And we'd paint the bus a bright red because that would give the company | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
its own individual identity and make it memorable. A sort of trademark. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:15 | |
And you have the bus already? | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
My friend, my partner, Bonny, has the bus and he has the tools, and I bring the management experience. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:22 | |
And that you have as well? | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
That I do, sir. Yes, I do. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
All right, it says here you're currently employed as an office furniture salesman? | 0:34:26 | 0:34:31 | |
Mm-hm, that's correct, but I'm ready to move on. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
And prior to office sales, you were a tyre salesman with your father? | 0:34:35 | 0:34:40 | |
-Julius Bicke, that was, that's my, that is my brother. -Brother. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:45 | |
OK, and why did you leave his employment? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
Well, he, um, he expected me to lie. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:54 | |
I don't believe that someone should have to lie to make a living. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
-All right. -Over and over he would tell me that, um, | 0:35:00 | 0:35:05 | |
15% is rock bottom. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
Sell below that, we lose money. That's a lie. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
In the retail tyre business, the mark-up is always at least 30%. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
So, 30 is rock bottom. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:19 | |
What one should tell the customer... | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
Let me show you. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
Well, good morning, Mr Ford. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
I think I understand, Mr Bicke. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:29 | |
Let-Let me just show you. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
Good morning. Sam Bicke. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
You're here to buy tyres? | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
Um, yes. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
Well, let's get down to brass tacks. This is the deal. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
The mark-up on all of my tyres is 30%. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
I will show you the company invoice to prove that to you. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
I'll do that for you, Mr Ford. I'll make you my best offer. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
I'll split the difference with you. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
I'll take half the mark-up as my profit and you'll take half the mark-up as your savings. | 0:35:54 | 0:36:00 | |
Even Steven. Fair deal. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
What do you think? | 0:36:04 | 0:36:05 | |
-What do -I -think? Or... -Yes. No, I'm back to normal now. -Oh... | 0:36:07 | 0:36:12 | |
-It's 15%. -Exactly. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
But it's the same thing, what your brother offered. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
No, no. No, no, no, no, no. My brother, my brother will go to 15%, | 0:36:18 | 0:36:23 | |
but he wants you to hold at list. 5% if you have to, | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |
10% if you're gonna lose the customer out the door, | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
but the salesman who offers 15%, he's a failure. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:35 | |
He's a man who doesn't know how to hold his ground. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
And who do you think, | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
at the end of the month, gets the promotion, gets the bonus? | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
The one with the biggest profit margin? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
The biggest liar. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:49 | |
I'm sorry. I just want you to know that I would run an honest business. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:58 | |
That I would not ask my salesmen to lie or make them feel | 0:36:58 | 0:37:02 | |
like a failure or some kind of a piece of garbage. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:07 | |
Well, that's, um... I admire that. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
Your idea? | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
Well, that's it. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:19 | |
That's it? | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
Mr Ford, I want to thank you, sir, because this loan isn't just for me. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:27 | |
I think it can change the way we think about American business. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
Mr Bicke, I'm, I'm very sorry, I'm really very sorry. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:35 | |
That's it for now. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:36 | |
I have to send your application on to Washington, and they will review it. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:41 | |
It's a whole process. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Oh... Well, of course. Of course! | 0:37:46 | 0:37:50 | |
Mr Ford at the SBA. Bonny, I gotta tell you, he was very impressed. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:56 | |
Did you tell him the bus don't run? | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
-I didn't. -Sam, Sam! Did you tell him your partner was black? | 0:37:59 | 0:38:03 | |
-I did, yes. I checked the "Negro" box. -That was stupid, Sam. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:08 | |
No, Bonny. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
The government is looking for black businessmen. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
BONNY LAUGHS I've been here 16 years, and they haven't found me yet. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
Ellen, sit next to Julie. Sam. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
Come on, son. Ellen, can you just sit. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
That's great, Julie. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:28 | |
OK, Ellen, sit next to your sister. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
Come on, Sam Junior. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
Ellen... Ellen, honey, sit next to Julie. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:44 | |
-Come on, you guys. Dinner's ready. -Daddy's taking a picture. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
That's all right, honey, I got it. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
-See you next Sunday, Sam. -Yeah, I'll see you next Sunday. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
Tuffer! | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
No, Tuffer, Tuffer... | 0:39:03 | 0:39:04 | |
Tuffer... | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
MUSIC ON TV | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
No, 125 is your total. I let the tax slide. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:37 | |
Thank you. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:38 | |
You remind me of my ex-wife. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
She has got the dimples also, when she smiles. They're nice. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:47 | |
Mm... Compliments and a good deal. I should shop here more often. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
You should, miss, or is it missus? | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
Miss. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
Is this the current phone? | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
Yes. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
Would you like me...would you like me to deliver it? | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
No. That's all right. I'll have someone from the office stop by. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
It wouldn't be a problem. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
I'll be just fine. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
You already are. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
I don't want you to deliver it. I'll have it picked up. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:20 | |
No, I didn't mean that I, personally... | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
-We have people... I don't, I don't deliver. -Thank you. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:27 | |
I think there's been a misunderstanding. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
I love my wife... I love her very much. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
We are all married men. Family men. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
Yeah. Yeah... | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
Because...what's odd about your aborted flirtation with that woman today, | 0:40:49 | 0:40:56 | |
according to Marty's recollection, correct me if I'm wrong, is that | 0:40:56 | 0:41:01 | |
you referred to her dimples as being like those of your EX-wife's. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:07 | |
I don't think I did that. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
-He sure did. -I think there's been a misunderstanding. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
As I told you | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
when I took you on, I only hire married men. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:21 | |
A single salesman is distracted. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
A divorced salesman fails at selling, the same as marriage. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:30 | |
It's all right for a guy to, um, | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
lie to some broad about not being married when he is. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:38 | |
That's fine. That's to be expected. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
But you wouldn't expect that guy to lie to his boss, would you? | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
I guess I... | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
I guess I did try to pick up on that woman. I just... | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
I didn't want you to think that I was being dishonest to my wife. | 0:41:56 | 0:42:02 | |
You did try to pick her up then? | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
-Yes. -My son was correct in his estimation of your character? | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
Yes. Yes, yes. Yes. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:15 | |
And if I were to ask you and your wife to join me and Marty and our wives | 0:42:15 | 0:42:21 | |
for dinner in, say, a week or two, that would be OK with you? | 0:42:21 | 0:42:26 | |
Yes, I think that, um... | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
..she'd like that very much. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:38 | |
'When I was little I was taught not to be rude, Mr Bernstein, but... | 0:42:40 | 0:42:45 | |
'what am I supposed to do about the people who won't respect me?' | 0:42:45 | 0:42:48 | |
What I wanted to do is just check on the status of my application. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
Sorry, Mr Bicke. Mr Ford should have told you, but processing takes eight to ten weeks. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:56 | |
No, he did not tell me that. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
Perhaps you could check back, say, 1st September. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
-September? -Yes. -Um... | 0:43:05 | 0:43:09 | |
I do understand your position. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:16 | |
I'm sure that you... | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
I'm sure that you deal with a lot of incompetence. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
But I am a businessman, | 0:43:21 | 0:43:25 | |
and a businessman can't wait. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:27 | |
If you gonna have a future, you gotta make it. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
So I would really appreciate it if I could see Mr Ford. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:33 | |
-What was your first name? -Samuel J. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:37 | |
I will talk to Mr Ford, | 0:43:37 | 0:43:39 | |
and if he has time for a meeting, we'll call you next week. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
-Since I'm here, maybe I could just see him. -If he has time, | 0:43:44 | 0:43:50 | |
we'll call you next week. Deal? | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
Deal. | 0:43:57 | 0:43:59 | |
Least you could do is discourage him. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:15 | |
Double bourbon, vodka martini up. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:18 | |
It would help if you wore your wedding ring. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
For God's sake, Sam, aren't we done yet? | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
Would you consider going to the dinner? | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
-You could drive your own car. -No! I'm not gonna put on some charade. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
If you're their top salesman, what do they care if you're married, divorced or queer? | 0:44:28 | 0:44:33 | |
Sir, you should be ashamed of yourself. That woman is my wife. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
-They make her wear that. They MAKE her! -For God's sake, Sam. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
What?! | 0:44:51 | 0:44:53 | |
Really, it's all right. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
-I'll just wait here. I'm fine here. -Mr Bicke, please... | 0:45:05 | 0:45:09 | |
He'll understand. He'll be leaving at some point and he'll be going to his car. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:13 | |
He'll leave at some point and I'll just walk him down... | 0:45:13 | 0:45:17 | |
-Mr Bicke. -Mr Ford. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
Mr Ford. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
It's good to see you, sir. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
Look, why don't we step outside and get a cup of coffee? | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
-How's that? -Coffee. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:27 | |
In the cafeteria. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:29 | |
Actually, there's a machine in the lobby. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:32 | |
The lobby's fine. That's fine. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:34 | |
Have a seat. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:37 | |
Now, how exactly can I help you, Mr Bicke? | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
Yes, well, sir... Funnily enough, my situation is that I-I-I really... | 0:45:45 | 0:45:50 | |
It's very urgent that I get this thing rolling, if you know what I mean. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:56 | |
No, I don't. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:57 | |
The bus thing. The tyre thing. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
Yes, I remember your application and I sent it along. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:03 | |
There's nothing more I can do. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:05 | |
You can't tell me anything else? | 0:46:05 | 0:46:07 | |
No, I can't. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:09 | |
I told you in our meeting, and I believe you were told again, | 0:46:09 | 0:46:13 | |
the process will take eight to ten weeks. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
You'll be notified by mail. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
You can't... expedite that in some..? | 0:46:18 | 0:46:21 | |
It will take eight to ten weeks, and you'll be notified by mail. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:25 | |
Now, I have to get back. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:28 | |
-You know, is there some way that this could be speeded up? -No. | 0:46:32 | 0:46:37 | |
No, there isn't. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:39 | |
And if you come back again, I will have to add that to your file. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
Impatience is not a virtue, Mr Bicke. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:46 | |
Yeah. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:47 | |
OK. Good luck. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:50 | |
In the mail, then? | 0:46:57 | 0:46:58 | |

No, you hold on, Marie. | 0:53:56 | 0:53:59 | |
I got a divorce decree today, and we're supposed to be separated. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:04 | |
We're supposed to be working on this! | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
It's only been one year. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:10 | |
It has certainly not been two years! | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
No, it has not been almost two! | 0:54:14 | 0:54:16 | |
I... I have a life. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:20 | |
Why would you say that? | 0:54:20 | 0:54:22 | |
Why would you say THAT, Marie? | 0:54:22 | 0:54:24 | |
When you're... Marie? | 0:54:24 | 0:54:27 | |

Yeah, well, I have spent a lot of time, but it's OK because I know you're gonna be happy. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:37 | |
I need to measure the space. | 0:55:37 | 0:55:39 | |
So we can deliver it this afternoon, or is Saturday better? | 0:55:39 | 0:55:44 | |
As I said before, I have to still measure the space. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
I'll have the boys come over. They can measure the space. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
You're not gonna let me down, are you, Stan? | 0:55:50 | 0:55:52 | |
This doesn't have to be done today because we'll be here in the morning. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:57 | |

Bicke... What did you just do? | 0:56:21 | 0:56:25 | |
You out of your fucking mind?! | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
Actually, I have some bad news, because I'm not going to... | 0:56:28 | 0:56:33 | |
This is my last day. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:34 | |
What? | 0:56:34 | 0:56:36 | |
Actually, I'm not going to be able to finish today | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
because I have a very important letter that's coming. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:44 | |
I'm starting my own business, and I have an enormous amount of plans that I have to make. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:49 | |
-Have your desk cleared in ten minutes. -All right. | 0:56:49 | 0:56:53 | |
'Cos people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. | 0:56:53 | 0:56:57 | |
'Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:01 | |
'I sold all my stocks for 200,000. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:04 | |

'And the pieces of testimony you gave us last week... | 0:57:27 | 0:57:31 | |
'was that you had dispersed some 69,000 | 0:57:31 | 0:57:34 | |
'in what you might call a sabotage programme, | 0:57:34 | 0:57:39 | |
'and that you also perjured yourself at the trial. | 0:57:39 | 0:57:43 | |
'Would you explain to the committee how you dispersed of 69,000? | 0:57:43 | 0:57:49 | |

' "You have to prick the boil and take the heat." ' | 0:58:02 | 0:58:04 | |
You're the prick. | 0:58:04 | 0:58:06 | |
YOU'RE the prick. | 0:58:06 | 0:58:08 | |
Hello, Roger. | 0:58:08 | 0:58:11 | |
No, I wasn't saying that to... This is Sam Bicke. | 0:58:11 | 0:58:14 | |
Yes, that's right, Julius's brother. | 0:58:14 | 0:58:16 | |
As a matter of fact, I'm back with Julius now. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
I'm handling shipping and receiving for him. | 0:58:19 | 0:58:22 | |
I have a purchase order that we sent in a couple of days ago. | 0:58:22 | 0:58:26 | |
It's number 37-65. | 0:58:26 | 0:58:28 | |
Well, it is a lot of tyres. As a matter of fact, we're opening an outlet in the Hill district. | 0:58:29 | 0:58:34 | |
Well, black people have to have tyres, too, Roger. | 0:58:34 | 0:58:37 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:58:37 | 0:58:39 | |
Yes, that's the correct address. If you could just drop-ship those, that would be fine. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:47 | |

-HE CLICKS SWITCH -..let them know I was nervous... | 1:00:55 | 1:00:59 | |
..that, unlike the powerful, I was not so arrogant... | 1:01:01 | 1:01:06 | |
as to be sure that my actions were righteous. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:11 | |
Certainty is the disease of kings, Maestro. | 1:01:11 | 1:01:15 | |
And Sam Bicke was many things... | 1:01:15 | 1:01:19 | |
but not a king. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:21 | |
He just wanted to make a change. | 1:01:21 | 1:01:24 | |
To stop the lies. | 1:01:24 | 1:01:27 | |
And he aimed high. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:28 | |
Hello, Samuel. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:53 | |
The landlord was kind enough to allow me in. | 1:01:55 | 1:01:59 | |
He stopped by. I see you received his note. | 1:01:59 | 1:02:01 | |
Julius. | 1:02:04 | 1:02:05 | |
We have some things to discuss, don't you think? | 1:02:05 | 1:02:08 | |
To discuss? | 1:02:08 | 1:02:10 | |
-Good seeing you, of course. -Cut the crap. Sit down. | 1:02:13 | 1:02:17 | |
You're a very strange man, Samuel. | 1:02:28 | 1:02:31 | |
I've always known this. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:35 | |
I've always tried to help. | 1:02:36 | 1:02:38 | |
So why would you steal from me, your brother? | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
-I didn't... I didn't steal... -You did. | 1:02:47 | 1:02:49 | |
I had to bail your friend Bonny out of jail this evening. | 1:02:49 | 1:02:53 | |
-Bonny? -For receiving stolen goods. | 1:02:55 | 1:02:58 | |
My goods. | 1:02:58 | 1:03:00 | |
Did you think Roger Zeffler wouldn't become suspicious of your friend? | 1:03:00 | 1:03:06 | |
That somehow this delivery was kosher? That 550 tyres belonged to that address? | 1:03:06 | 1:03:12 | |
Roger Zeffler is a racist. | 1:03:16 | 1:03:18 | |
Perhaps that's so. Shame on Roger Zeffler. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:21 | |
But you, you're are a crook. | 1:03:21 | 1:03:24 | |
So, you tell me, Sam. | 1:03:24 | 1:03:26 | |
Which shame is greater? | 1:03:26 | 1:03:28 | |
-I am not... -Look at me. Look at me. | 1:03:28 | 1:03:32 | |
This is your brother. | 1:03:34 | 1:03:36 | |
Your brother. | 1:03:36 | 1:03:39 | |
Do I deserve this now, for you to lie to me? | 1:03:39 | 1:03:42 | |
-Julius, please. -No, no, no. | 1:03:45 | 1:03:48 | |
No "please, Julius". No, no. No! | 1:03:48 | 1:03:50 | |
I have been to the police, | 1:03:52 | 1:03:55 | |
begging forgiveness for a mistake that was not a mistake. | 1:03:55 | 1:03:58 | |
Because I took responsibility, Samuel, | 1:03:58 | 1:04:00 | |
responsibility, so that no-one would go to jail. | 1:04:00 | 1:04:04 | |
So that this man, Bonny, your friend, would not go to jail. | 1:04:04 | 1:04:10 | |
And my family caused this. | 1:04:10 | 1:04:12 | |
So you must tell me, Sam, please, | 1:04:13 | 1:04:17 | |
which is the greater shame? | 1:04:17 | 1:04:20 | |
Which? | 1:04:21 | 1:04:23 | |
I'm sorry, Julius. | 1:04:37 | 1:04:39 | |
What is your name? | 1:04:42 | 1:04:44 | |
Hmm? | 1:04:46 | 1:04:47 | |
I... | 1:04:49 | 1:04:50 | |
I had... I had...an idea. | 1:04:50 | 1:04:53 | |
For a tyre business. | 1:04:56 | 1:04:58 | |
Like you. | 1:04:58 | 1:04:59 | |
-And I just... -HE SIGHS | 1:05:01 | 1:05:04 | |
I wanted to get a head start until my loan came in, | 1:05:04 | 1:05:08 | |
and my loan was denied, | 1:05:08 | 1:05:10 | |
because they're racists. | 1:05:10 | 1:05:13 | |

All of them! | 1:05:14 | 1:05:16 | |
Like Zeffler. | 1:05:18 | 1:05:19 | |
I didn't get the money because my partner is black. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:26 | |
I was gonna pay you back. | 1:05:29 | 1:05:31 | |
I'm just trying to keep my family together. | 1:05:31 | 1:05:34 | |
And the little guy can't do it any more. | 1:05:34 | 1:05:37 | |
He just can't do it any more. | 1:05:37 | 1:05:39 | |
Because there's a cancer in the system. | 1:05:39 | 1:05:42 | |
The whole system has a cancer, and I'm being punished because I resist. | 1:05:42 | 1:05:47 | |
But somebody has to resist, just somebody has to resist. | 1:05:47 | 1:05:51 | |
You're my brother. You're my brother. | 1:05:56 | 1:05:58 | |
As of this moment, Samuel... | 1:06:03 | 1:06:05 | |
..I wash my hands of you. | 1:06:07 | 1:06:10 | |
No more. That's it. Nothing. | 1:06:10 | 1:06:12 | |
And if you steal from me again, brother or no brother, | 1:06:12 | 1:06:15 | |
I will send you to jail. | 1:06:15 | 1:06:18 | |

'when Army Private First Class, Robert Preston stole an unarmed helicopter from Fort Mead, Maryland. | 1:07:24 | 1:07:30 | |
'The joy-riding pilot was identified as 20-year-old PFC Robert Preston, | 1:07:30 | 1:07:34 | |

It wasn't like a light bulb, really. | 1:07:54 | 1:07:56 | |
It was more like an old candle, you know, | 1:07:56 | 1:07:59 | |
just a plain, simple idea. | 1:07:59 | 1:08:02 | |
But in that moment I knew, Mr Bernstein... | 1:08:02 | 1:08:06 | |
I knew the die was cast. | 1:08:06 | 1:08:12 | |
Mr Bernstein, oh, I have the utmost respect for you. | 1:08:14 | 1:08:21 | |

And I will do my best to prevent as many deaths as I possibly can. | 1:08:53 | 1:09:00 | |
