[Joanne]
What happened?

Are we in danger?

I took out a made man
from Kansas City.

I woke up this morning
with a dead body

at the foot of my driveway.

I want Manfredi dead.

- Where you guys headed?
- [Dwight] Galena.

We got wind turbines.
It's a business investment.

In exchange for fronting
your wind farm,

we want 20%
of all energy generated.

We also want 20% of all
your hydroponic weed profits.

I got another offer
less than an hour ago.

Thresher, right?

I can make it work.

- Deal.
- Great, General.

Donnie. You're interesting
in selling this joint?

And what are you asking
for the place?

Ouch.

One last question.

Would you buy a car
from this guy?

- Sure would.
- Then we got a deal.

Your boss was supposed
to call me back.

You got our friend in Tulsa
on heightened alert.

It sounds like there's
a suggestion in there.

Conversation.

With all interested parties.

- You mean us.
- For starters.

- What on earth, Dad?
- I'm teaching them

how not to lose
their lunch money.

How about telling your teachers?

Ratting? You never drop
a dime on anybody.

[Tina] Oh, look how beautiful
the school grounds are.

[Dwight]
Yeah, it's really nice.

God, they got a playset
for everyone to play.

When I was a kid, we had
two trash cans in an alley.

[Tina laughs]

- [Dwight] Jesus.
- [door sensor dings]

Look at this place. It's like
Ding Dong School, Romper Room.

- That's before your time.
- Get it out of your system.

Mr. Rogers, where are you?

Okay, Dad,
is this completely necessary?

What? Him?
He's my guardian angel.

- Can't Bigfoot come?
- No, not today.

- It's families only.
- Please.

No, he's too big
to fit behind a desk anyway.

But I need you two to be on your
best behavior today. Promise?

Oh, come on,
they're lucky to get our kids.

The acceptance rate is less
than ten percent.

Everybody wants their kids
to go here.

Good morning. Hi. Dr. Fogel.

- Welcome to Meridian Day School.
- Hey, how you doing?

Uh, Tina Manfredi,
uh, my father Dwight.

And who have we here?

- My name is Ryan.
- And I'm Cody.

That's Heckle and Jeckle.

- [laughter]
- Wonderful. Wonderful.

This is Vanessa.
She'll be showing you around

while I talk to your family.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Hi, guys.
Should we go exploring?

Yes.

I'm sorry. This gentleman here.

Um, will he be joining us?

Oh, you don't want him
joining you.

But he'll disappear
when I disappear.

[students]
Today I will be kind.

I will be respectful of others
and their differences.

I have great ideas.

I am empowered.

I am in control
of my own happiness.

You know,
they should try some push-ups.

Hmm. Uh, as you can see,

we greatly encourage
self-expression and creativity.

- Mm-hmm.
- That looks very nice.

- Excuse me for one moment.
- [quietly] Come here.

You know, my hair was getting
kind of gray,

so the other night
I bought this stuff,

you know, at the pharmacy, I put
it on the hairbrush, put it in.

Makes your hair darker. Since
you're dark, how's it look?

- You look like Dracula.
- That's not funny.

I-In addition
to a robust academic program,

we also stress sport.

You have a football team?

Oh, heavens, no.
Far too violent.

We do, however, field tennis,
basketball and swim teams

with the emphasis being
on teamwork.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

For example, in basketball

we stress passing
to one another,

without the focus solely being
on outcome.

Right. But how do you know who
wins if you don't keep score?

Well, every child wins

in the quest to develop

into kind and thoughtful members
of society.

Yeah? Hey, you guys ever think

about doing a class
for, like, street smarts?

- How to survive. Like, okay.
- [Tina] Dad?

This guy comes up to you,

or this person's trying
to hustle you.

Oh, give it a fancy name.
Like, what is it?

"Social Intelligence."

- Here's what I'm thinking.
- Dad?

No, but ser... Give me a minute.

You know, math, the thing,

people learning all this stuff
they're never gonna use.

But, like, how to park a car,
a bank account, take care--

So, I hear
you have a playground?

We do. Would love to show you.
This way.

I was on a roll here.

[distant chatter of children]

You have theater here.
When are the auditions?

Uh, there aren't any.
Every child gets to play Annie,

girls and boys.

Wait a minute. Every child?

It's called Little Orphan Annie,
not Little Orphan Andy.

It's supposed to be, like,
a little girl, right?

But every child gets
to play Annie,

and there's a new Annie
in each scene.

That way every child
gets a chance to be a star.

You like rabbits, Mr. Manfredi?

I do, in a dish.

What's up, Doc?

- Any other questions?
- Yes.

How do you resolve conflicts
here, Dr. Fogel?

We adhere to the RULER system.

Yeah, now you're talking.

Crack across the knuckle.
It does wonders.

[laughs]
He's joking.

It's an acronym, Mr. Manfredi.

R-- Recognize your feelings.

U-- Understand your feelings.

L-- Label your feelings.
E-- Express your feelings.

And R-- Regulate your feelings.

- RULER.
- RULER.

You should put music to that.

- I'm gonna go wait in the car.
- Yeah, that's a good idea.

Nice meeting you.

Uh, playing a game.

Were you in a coma with
your eyes open three days ago

when I told you to stay alert?

I'm alert. I'm just, uh, high.

This is not the time
or the place.

If a weed shop is not the time
or place, then where is?

Fred, I hired you
to be security.

Do your job.

Grace, Dwight's sister Joanne
might stop by the shop later.

She wants
to learn about the business,

so you show her around, yeah?

You're not gonna be here?

Oh, no. Jimmy and I have
to head to the wind farm.

We got to see how those repairs
are coming along.

What's the story
with the hydroponic greenhouse?

When we build it,
they will come.

But to build it,
we need those turbines fixed,

so we can get the juice flowing.

Got an ETA, or...?

A few months. Why?

I wouldn't be averse
to working there.

Have you worked at a weed farm?

I grew up on a regular farm.

Oh, somehow I never took you
for a country girl.

I was. Milked cows,

raked the stalls,

slopped hogs, you name it.

If a position opens up,
I would love to discuss it.

Right, yeah. Duly noted.

Oh, uh, are you still packing?

- Always.
- Okay. All right.

Just call me
if there's anything.

Fred, get the fuck up.
What did I say?

[Dwight]
Why don't I play Annie?

Why not?

I could do it.

You got 37 other Annies.

And how about
a scoreless basketball game?

That's gonna be
real interesting.

"Wait, what's the score?"
"I don't know."

Come on, man.
You can't be serious

about sending those kids
to that nuthouse.

I am. Do you know how hard it is

to get
into any school right now?

It's not real.
It's not realistic.

They're training them to be
patsies and fall guys. Wimps.

I'd like to think
that I taught my kids

to be pretty strong, thank you.

Not everybody sees the world
as the hellscape

[chuckling]
that you do, Dwight.

Do you not watch the news?

You got to be ready
for everything.

You can't be naive and gullible
like they want you to be

and listen to what
they're saying all the time.

This is not the world
you grew up in.

Everything's changed.

Wrong.
Human nature does not change.

Are you kidding me?
Look around you.

Nothing is the same.

In life, everything changes.

- [Joanne] Except Dwight.
- [Tina] Except Dwight.

Because he used to be

- a pain in the ass.
- Yeah?

- Get out of here.
- Guess what.

He's still a pain. [laughs]

- I'm still a pain in the ass.
- [Tina] No.

Is that what you're saying?

- [Joanne] Mm-hmm.
- Okay. So what?

- I'm dependable.
- [chuckles]

Oh, by the way,
I got you that La-Z-Boy.

You did?

Yes. Just so we could live
with you.

That's really
what it came down to.

Come on. I love you guys.

Thank you very much.

Hey, forget what I said
about the school.

The hell with it.
You got the chair?

[scoffs]

[Donnie]
My lawyer approved the contract,

so, at this point,
it's just a matter

of getting the go-ahead from GM.

So when can we meet the reps?

It's in the process
of being scheduled.

Meantime, there's no harm
in me showing you the ropes.

Oh, shit. I'm all ears, Donnie.

All right. Now,
anyone can sell cars.

There's no secret formula.

What distinguishes a dealership
are two things:

- service and marketing.
- Got you.

For example, a customer comes in
for an oil change,

we wash his car for free,
give him an air freshener.

Doesn't cost a lot,
makes a huge impression.

Exactly. It also creates
a subtle psychological dynamic

where the customer feels
he owes you,

so he becomes loyal to you

no matter how much
you upsell him.

- And marketing?
- That's key.

See, how else can you tell
one dealer from another?

You need an image, a gimmick.

Now, you may not believe this,
but I'm not a real cowboy.

- Get out of town.
- Yeah, seriously.

I've never been on a real horse
in my life.

I think
I'm actually allergic to 'em.

But you got the boots on
and everything.

That's all part of the image.

Donnie Shore's Auto Corral

was actually my wife's idea.

That's the brand. See?

What's more all-American,

what's more wholesome
than a cowboy?

Uh... a baseball player.

Aw, not even close.

You got Pete Rose
with the gambling,

with the drug scandals, see?

But cowboys,
they're universally admired.

Hey, have you ever seen

I have actually.

Well, here, check out my latest.

Super responsive and fast.

[chuckles]

Mr. Manfredi.

Ah.
[chuckling]

I see we're both here
breaking in fillies.

I'm gonna break in your jaw

if you don't stop interfering
in my fucking business.

Business? Oh!

You mean the wind farms.

I do recall you being
the one rhapsodizing

about the virtues
of competition.

Good competition. Not this shit
you're trying to pull.

Well, in any case,

you bled a little.

You're in so far
over your fucking head.

You have no idea the world
you're fucking around in.

Well, I think
you got that backwards.

You see,

you're in over your head
out here, pal,

not me.

See, you think you can come here

and get whatever you want,

but you can't.

Including her.

[shotgun racks]

Whatever's happening here,

take it someplace else.

Saved by the belle.

Come on.
Let's talk about Hunter.

What's going on?

A little male-pattern badness.

Hey, don't shoot me.
We got a date.

[phone rings]

- How you doing, Goodie?
- [Goodie] Vince called.

Him and Chickie want you to sit
down with them and Bevilaqua.

- Whoa.
- Look...

- [slot machines jingling]
- But maybe it isn't

such a bad thing,
coming to terms.

I mean, do we really want to
keep looking over our shoulders?

He's sleeping with one eye open,
too. [chuckles]

Yeah, he'd be stupid
if he ain't.

[bill counter shuffling cash]

- [keypad beeping]
- [Dwight] Where does he want

to do this meeting?

Atlanta. Sometime next week.

[chuckles]
If you're gonna end a civil war,

- that's the place. Atlanta.
- [chuckles]

Is that a yes?

It's a "let me think about it."

Me and Tyson are on our way.

You pick up Mitch and Bigfoot.

Bodhi wants to show us something
on the wind farm.

Will do.

Business is good?

Must be.
Look at all that green.

As long as people have hope,

gambling... is alive.

[chatter in Mandarin]

What's happening here?

Why did you pull these men out
of the field?

Oh, I just needed 'em
for a special assignment.

What kind of assignment?

Nothing to do with you, Jackie.

These men work for me.

Well, they work for me as well.

Remember, this is a partnership.

All the more reason you
should have come to me first.

Oh.

Kind of like how you came to me
with the poppy field?

Partnership cannot survive
without balance.

I'll show you the same level
of respect that you show me.

Rough day at the fucking office,
right, pal?

Pull him up.

- Get up. Get up.
- [groaning]

Who sent you?

[speaks Mandarin]

[bat clatters]

[vehicle departing]

You tell me who sent you,

or he's gonna pull
your fucking face off.

Thresher.

Fucking took you long enough.

I had a few things to do.

[truck door closes]

- [tires screeching]
- Come on, let's get out of here.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Well, howdy, Bill.

Isn't that what
you cowpokes say?

I'm busy. What do you want?

I was hoping that you and I
could compare notes

about Dwight Manfredi.

Notes on what?

Honestly, he's been stepping
on my toes a little.

What's that got to do with me?

Well, you and I haven't
worked together in a while.

That's 'cause I made your
Chinese partner buy me out.

Well, that was your choice,
Bill.

Frankly, I wanted you to stay.

What's on your mind, Cal?

Well, I was hoping that
you'd come back in somehow.

And somehow, maybe we could
rekindle some new arrangement.

"Non svegliare il cane
che dorme."

You familiar with that phrase?

Enlighten me.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Well, I've got a proverb
for you.

True fellowship among men
must be based upon

a concern that is universal.

It is not the private interest
of the individual

that creates a lasting
fellowship among men,

but instead,
the goals of humanity.

Do you know what that one means?

Uh-huh.

Means you're eating
too much chop suey.

I'll see ya, Cal.

[indistinct chatter]

Sorry I'm late.

I thought you stood me up.

No. Stand you up? Never.

I had a doctor's appointment.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

- Clean bill of health.
- Mm.

Think they gave me 24 hours.

[chuckles]
Thank goodness. Let's eat.

You know, I'm only here
on three conditions.

Only three? Let's hear 'em.

- No talk of business.
- Mm-hmm.

- No talk of politics.
- Blah.

And definitely no talk
of you-know-who.

Forget him.

Okay, so what do you want
to talk about?

I want to know
what you were like as a kid.

Oh, come on, will you?
[laughs]

You want to lose your appetite?
I was a horror.

I was-- I was not a lot of fun.

They should have tied me
in my crib and left me there.

I'll tell you what,
I'm interested in your journey,

because you're a mystery.

Oh, no, no, I'm not.

I'm telling you, I'm pretty good
at reading people.

I can't figure you out, so...
spill it, sister.

- Mm.
- Mr. Manfredi.

May I start your evening
with champagne, sir?

Did you order this?

- Not me.
- Oh, it's a gift, sir.

From Mr. Thresher.

Oh, my God.
Does this guy ever stop?

Jesus Christ.

It's one of the finest
bottles in our cellar.

One of the finest.

Yes. He said he would like
to make sure

you had a memorable evening.

Memorable. You know,
I'll tell you what.

Why don't you keep
Thresher's account open

and bring us the actual
finest that you got.

Pierre Jouët Belle Epoque 2002.

It's exceedingly rare.

And expensive.

Yes, it's $6,000 a bottle.

[both laugh]

That's all?

- Bring us two bottles.
- Oh!

Okay?

As a matter of fact,
why don't you bring a bottle

to that table over there,
that nice couple.

Very well, sir.

How about that?

Now both me and Thresher
are gonna have

a memorable evening.

I'll say.
[laughs]

- Margaret...
- Mm.

...you look fantastic.

Beautiful room, beautiful booze,

beautiful woman.

So let's get started.
How you doing?

Let's get this thing going.
