00:02:10 I admire your determination, but...
00:02:13 And the walking...
00:02:16 You understand what I'm getting at?
00:02:18 I just don't see any way this can work.
00:02:22 I'm sorry.
00:02:26 Thanks for coming in.
00:02:55 All the October statements.
00:02:58 Mr. Hernandez.
00:03:01 Give me your worst route.
00:03:04 Give me the area nobody wants.
00:03:11 What have you got to lose?
00:03:14 If I can sell it, you're a hero.
00:03:17 Mr. Porter, let's be honest.
00:03:21 and you're crippled. And I don't see how-
00:03:25 What?
00:03:47 Praise the Lord.
00:04:01 Nervous?
00:04:02 Yeah.
00:04:04 Nuts, I was gonna make you a lunch.
00:04:07 No!
00:04:11 Good for me.
00:04:13 I guess I'm a little nervous, too.
00:04:15 I guess you are.
00:04:17 What are you waiting for?
00:04:20 Go sell some soap.
00:04:23 - Meet you here at 5:00?
00:05:11 'Morning.
00:05:14 May I be candid with you?
00:05:16 The greatest value in our catalogue...
00:05:19 is the double-strength vanilla extract.
00:05:23 It comes in the four-ounce, six-ounce...
00:05:25 That's right!
00:05:28 I told you I'd call the cops.
00:05:31 My God! Look what they're doing. Larry!
00:05:34 We got a call...
00:05:35 Officer, I've done the research.
00:05:37 It's hanging over our property,
00:05:39 Do you see my feet? That's pine tar.
00:05:41 I've got white carpeting.
00:05:43 from the front door to-
00:05:45 Look where your front door is,
00:05:47 - Look what they've done!
00:05:49 What kind of people would do this?
00:05:52 Will you stop?
00:06:00 I have tried gasoline and turpentine,
00:06:29 Good morning.
00:06:31 My name is Bill Porter...
00:06:33 and I would like to take a moment
00:06:37 about some of the many
00:06:43 Of course, they all come
00:06:50 I don't think so.
00:06:53 Who is it?
00:06:54 Some charity guy.
00:07:12 I mean it, you got to get ready to go, now.
00:07:14 Don't let the dog out.
00:07:17 My name is Bill Porter and I was-
00:07:20 Peanut, would you shut the hell up?
00:07:22 Sheri, will you get your damn dog?
00:07:27 My name is Bill Porter...
00:07:29 and I was wondering
00:07:33 to show you some
00:07:37 Joey, I told you to put your pants on.
00:07:42 I once had a fish named Joey.
00:07:48 Grab him, would you?
00:07:50 Sheri, your damn dog got out. Damn it!
00:07:52 I'm in the bathroom!
00:07:54 Peanut! Come here. Peanut!
00:07:59 May I be candid with you?
00:08:02 The greatest value in our catalogue...
00:08:05 is the double-strength vanilla extract.
00:08:09 It comes in the four, eight,
00:08:15 Obviously, the 12-ounce is the best value.
00:08:20 Look, I really don't need anything...
00:08:22 but I respect what you're doing so much.
00:08:27 I'd like to help you.
00:08:36 Please, take it.
00:08:38 I don't need charity.
00:08:41 But you need spot remover.
00:09:21 No solicitors, sir.
00:09:22 I'm from the Watkins Company.
00:09:24 What? No solicitors, sir.
00:09:27 What?
00:09:28 What?
00:09:29 I'm from the Watkins Company.
00:09:32 No. Rules, sir!
00:09:43 What do you want?
00:09:45 I don't know, I'm tired of egg salad.
00:09:51 Here, let me get that for you.
00:09:55 Thanks.
00:10:05 May I be candid with you?
00:10:09 Yes.
00:10:10 No. Candid. May I be candid?
00:10:16 Absolutely.
00:10:17 In my experience, the greatest value...
00:10:21 in our catalogue
00:10:26 And at $3.95 a box...
00:10:29 you can see what a great saving that is.
00:10:34 How many may I put you down for?
00:10:38 Two.
00:10:40 Really?
00:10:42 And a large bleach.
00:11:05 May I ask you to fill in the order for me?
00:11:09 Of course.
00:11:11 Would you like a drink?
00:11:13 Thank you.
00:11:27 I'm sorry, I put a little vodka in there.
00:11:32 I probably shouldn't.
00:11:34 I walk like a drunken sailor as it is.
00:11:42 I wouldn't feel good about myself...
00:11:45 if I didn't tell you about
00:12:09 I must have walked 10 miles today.
00:12:12 Now, Billy, don't push yourself so hard.
00:12:15 You must be patient. You can't expect-
00:12:17 I made a sale.
00:12:19 You did?
00:12:20 Yeah!
00:12:22 Almost $50.
00:12:28 See, you can do anything.
00:12:29 I can do this.
00:12:31 I know you can.
00:12:33 I made $4.25 today...
00:12:36 and I'm gonna blow every penny of it.
00:12:40 I'm taking you out on the town.
00:12:50 I took a sip, it was vodka.
00:12:54 What did you do?
00:12:55 What could I do? I swallowed it!
00:13:06 Billy, this is for you.
00:13:09 It being your first day.
00:13:28 Dad's watch.
00:13:29 "Dad's watch. "
00:13:33 Quit it.
00:13:34 They gave it to him in the Grand Ballroom,
00:13:38 He doesn't care. He's a retard.
00:13:40 How do you know?
00:13:41 I bought a dress for $23.
00:13:46 Chicago was all lit up.
00:13:49 Excuse me.
00:13:50 Could I borrow your ketchup, please?
00:13:52 Yeah, sure.
00:13:56 I'm so sorry.
00:14:02 - I told you not to call him a retard.
00:14:06 And the World's Fair.
00:14:09 Your dad was top salesman
00:14:12 He was an amazing salesman.
00:14:15 Amazing.
00:14:16 He could sell you the ring
00:14:22 And what a handsome man.
00:14:24 What a time we had.
00:14:27 He was a very handsome man.
00:14:33 And you look just like him.
00:14:43 My point in telling you this long story
00:14:47 and say, "Is Peter Rabbit there?"
00:14:51 So I've had many ups and downs
00:14:54 What are you watching?
00:14:56 I don't know, but he's funny. Who is that?
00:15:01 It's Jack Paar.
00:15:03 He looks different.
00:15:06 Where are my glasses?
00:15:07 I'm going to bed. I'm a working man now.
00:15:14 Excuse me, working man,
00:15:18 I let the servants go early tonight.
00:15:33 I can see the tremendous effort
00:15:37 I know it can't be easy,
00:15:41 It's only been four days.
00:15:43 I understand, but the average...
00:15:47 I'm building. It takes time.
00:15:50 I know that, but-
00:15:51 Just give me to the end of the month.
00:15:57 We had a complaint.
00:15:59 From a woman on Chestnut Street.
00:16:06 You can see my problem.
00:16:13 Hi! My name is Lyle!
00:16:17 You can call me Lyle or Glyle or Mr. Pyle.
00:16:21 But, whatever you do, don't smile.
00:16:25 You better not smile.
00:16:27 Who is it, Joey?
00:16:29 Mr. Pyle.
00:16:30 Who?
00:16:32 Mr. Pyle.
00:16:41 What the hell. Come on in.
00:16:45 This is really a lovely home.
00:17:10 Mom?
00:17:25 Mother?
00:17:28 Wanna go to a few more houses?
00:17:32 Let's go. What are you gonna say?
00:17:36 Oh, I can tell, look at that hat.
00:17:40 Mrs. Warren, have you seen my mother?
00:17:43 No. Not today.
00:17:51 No, she is missing. You don't understand.
00:17:56 I don't know. I was at work.
00:18:00 At work!
00:18:05 How long do we have to wait
00:18:12 Hold on.
00:18:24 Thank you very much. I'm fine.
00:18:26 I'll walk you, ma'am.
00:18:27 No, it's all right.
00:18:32 They said you were on Washington Street.
00:18:35 What were you doing over there?
00:18:38 Just some shopping.
00:18:41 There aren't any shoe stores
00:18:46 I got turned around, and it got dark...
00:18:49 and I ended up on Washington Street.
00:18:53 I'm gonna fix some lamb chops.
00:18:56 Would you set the table?
00:18:59 Sorry I worried you, Billy.
00:19:03 Why didn't you call?
00:19:16 I couldn't remember our number.
00:19:28 Billy.
00:19:32 I think there's something wrong with me.
00:20:01 This man just showered
00:20:04 New Light Boy Mint Refresher.
00:20:07 so tangy, so frosty, it drives wives...
00:20:12 wicked.
00:20:13 Soap has never smelled this good before.
00:20:16 New Light Boy Mint Refresher
00:20:20 wicked.
00:20:22 A Northwest Mounty!
00:20:24 And he's been trailing
00:21:06 I wouldn't leave you, Bill.
00:21:08 Thanks, Benny.
00:21:11 Running a little late this morning.
00:21:19 'Morning, sir. There you go.
00:21:28 Monarch Plaza Hotel.
00:21:29 'Morning, Bill.
00:21:30 How's the baby?
00:21:32 Much better.
00:21:33 I got one for you.
00:21:34 Lay it on me.
00:21:37 A traveling salesman passes a farmhouse.
00:21:40 He sees a pig with a wooden leg.
00:21:44 He says to the farmer,
00:21:48 The farmer says, "That's a very special pig.
00:21:52 "A few months back,
00:21:56 "... the pig came in, woke us up...
00:21:58 "... and saved my whole family! "
00:22:01 So the salesman says,
00:22:05 "Hold on," the farmer says.
00:22:07 "My little girl was playing in the road...
00:22:09 "... and one of those logging trucks
00:22:13 "The pig ran out
00:22:17 "That's amazing! " says the salesman.
00:22:21 "Well," says the farmer...
00:22:23 "you don't eat a pig like that all at once! "
00:22:28 That's good. That's real good.
00:22:33 "You don't eat a pig like that all at once! "
00:22:38 Did you have breakfast?
00:22:39 Yeah.
00:22:41 What did you have? Because you look thin.
00:22:45 A couple of chickens
00:22:49 Pass me that newspaper.
00:23:04 Dotty's girl is getting married.
00:23:09 He's a mechanic.
00:23:12 Do I know her?
00:23:14 Dotty, next door.
00:23:25 I have to get to work.
00:23:28 I have to go now, too.
00:23:29 No, Mom, you can't.
00:23:31 I'm going home.
00:23:32 No, you have to stay here.
00:23:34 Why?
00:23:35 Because why. You know why.
00:23:39 They care for you here.
00:23:42 Okay.
00:23:44 You'll come home this weekend.
00:23:47 I'll see you tonight.
00:23:51 Billy?
00:23:52 Give her the Havilland tea set.
00:23:55 Who?
00:23:56 That girl.
00:23:59 For the wedding.
00:24:06 I'll see you tonight.
00:24:19 Do you have the checkbook?
00:24:21 Of course I do.
00:24:23 Good morning.
00:24:24 We can't right now, Bill. We're late.
00:24:29 Bill, are you going next door?
00:24:31 Yeah.
00:24:32 Would you tell those people? You see this?
00:24:35 This is the number for Animal Control.
00:24:38 If they do not shut up that stupid dog-
00:24:40 Bill, could you do me a favor?
00:24:44 Could you explain to him
00:24:47 And I've been over that 100 times,
00:24:50 It is not the Wyler's dog.
00:24:53 The Wyler's have a collie.
00:24:55 That's right. This is a yapping dog.
00:24:57 If they want to talk about noise,
00:25:00 the damn window
00:25:03 Are they deaf?.
00:25:04 Every night! At 2:00, 3:00 in the morning.
00:25:06 This dog is, "Yap, yap, yap. "
00:25:08 How can you live like that?
00:25:09 How many times can you listen to
00:25:14 And there's gonna be trouble.
00:25:17 You can bet there's gonna be trouble.
00:25:23 Tree mutilators!
00:25:35 Outlet pass, and that's a...
00:25:37 16-foot set jumper.
00:25:41 no chance to get
00:25:44 I don't think your-
00:25:45 Oh, man.
00:25:48 who's got a game-high 22 points...
00:25:53 and there's the give-and-go!
00:25:55 and he missed the lay-up...
00:26:02 Bill, you going to the bus?
00:26:06 That's all right, Mr. Winters.
00:26:07 I'm going right by there.
00:26:09 No, that's all right, thank you.
00:26:11 Don't be stupid, get in.
00:26:37 Take it outside.
00:26:40 Mrs. Kotlarenko!
00:26:41 Mr. Porter! Your mother is eating dinner.
00:26:43 Where?
00:26:45 She's good, nice dinner, in the back.
00:27:13 He be okay. Epileptic. That's all.
00:27:16 Where's my mother's suitcase?
00:27:18 Suitcase?
00:27:19 We're leaving.
00:27:21 Yes. We're leaving.
00:27:29 There are cold cuts
00:27:33 She'll be fine.
00:27:35 Mama?
00:27:37 I'll be home about 7:00.
00:27:40 Mrs. Warren is gonna check in with you.
00:27:43 She'll make you lunch.
00:27:48 Mama, please!
00:27:49 Just go.
00:27:50 Don't worry about her.
00:27:57 I'm gonna do some cleaning, Billy.
00:28:01 The place is a mess.
00:28:13 Good morning. My name is Bill Porter.
00:28:17 I'm with the Watkins Company.
00:28:18 You're a salesman?
00:28:20 Yeah.
00:28:21 No, thank you. I don't need anything.
00:28:24 Are these orchids?
00:28:25 Yes.
00:28:27 They're hard to grow. I know, I've tried.
00:28:31 You have a spot of something
00:28:34 Our laundry detergent is concentrated.
00:28:38 - Hi.
00:28:41 - You off to school?
00:28:43 - Good morning.
00:28:46 - I'm Bill Porter.
00:28:48 You live in the neighborhood?
00:28:50 He rents a room from me.
00:28:51 Guys, I need you to step outside.
00:28:55 Alan, that stuff's gonna kill you.
00:28:56 Thank you. Go outside, smoke a cigarette.
00:29:06 I hate that stuff.
00:29:08 It's for bugs?
00:29:10 Yeah.
00:29:12 Has he tried peppermint soap?
00:29:16 I don't think so.
00:29:27 What about this?
00:29:35 - Are you sure that stuff is not bad for you?
00:29:40 I will. Okay, 'bye.
00:29:47 Athens, Morocco, someplace else...
00:29:52 It's very sweet of him...
00:29:54 but what am I gonna do
00:29:58 Your son sounds like a very generous man.
00:30:02 I think he feels guilty.
00:30:04 Why?
00:30:06 I never see him.
00:30:08 This is a Buddhist monk
00:30:11 But he's busy. You know, he just...
00:30:16 Oh, my God. What is he doing?
00:30:19 Oh, dear God!
00:30:21 He's protesting the war.
00:30:25 Why do they show them?
00:30:28 Why do they put that on the television?
00:30:38 I made some orange juice.
00:30:43 No, thank you, I have to go.
00:30:47 Bill?
00:30:54 What is that tonic that I like so much?
00:30:57 Beef and iron.
00:30:59 Yes. Could you order me some of that?
00:31:03 And that drain cleaner?
00:31:05 You're out of that?
00:31:07 Yes.
00:31:09 And the dog biscuits. The large size.
00:31:21 Mom?
00:31:24 Mrs. Warren?
00:31:51 Mama?
00:31:56 You see, now I have the proof.
00:32:18 - Can you bring the suitcases in for her?
00:32:21 - My glasses.
00:32:23 - Mom.
00:32:25 - You got them.
00:32:27 They're in your purse.
00:32:29 It looks really nice, doesn't it?
00:32:44 They gave you lots of linens.
00:32:48 I'm a burden.
00:32:51 What?
00:32:54 I'm a burden on you.
00:32:58 Well, now we're even.
00:33:45 Three traveling salesmen,
00:33:48 Their car breaks down.
00:33:52 The farmer says, "You can spend
00:33:57 The next morning,
00:34:02 "I had the weirdest dream.
00:34:04 "I dreamed that someone
00:34:08 The guy on the left-hand side says:
00:34:10 "I had the same dream.
00:34:14 And the guy in the middle says,
00:34:20 Man, that's all right. I like that one.
00:34:22 Come on, let me do your shoes.
00:34:25 That's funny. I like that one.
00:34:28 L3 and 4, L4 and 5, L5, S1.
00:34:31 You see how these discs
00:34:33 That's what's giving you all the pain.
00:34:38 You're gonna have to stop doing that.
00:34:40 I got to make the deliveries.
00:34:42 Hire someone.
00:34:43 You're looking at spinal stenosis
00:34:47 I want you to wear a brace
00:34:50 and I'm writing you a prescription
00:34:56 Take this seriously, Bill.
00:34:58 If you don't take care of your back,
00:35:01 You won't be walking.
00:35:03 How's your mother?
00:35:04 She's hanging in.
00:35:09 It was really good.
00:35:10 - I'm gonna put you down for some more.
00:35:13 We also have a tarragon-dill dressing.
00:35:21 Yeah.
00:35:22 Hi. I'm here to see Bill Porter.
00:35:24 That's me. You're here about the job?
00:35:27 Yeah.
00:35:28 Come on in.
00:35:34 Is this deliveries in a car?
00:35:36 Yeah, come on in. Sit down.
00:35:38 I don't want to use my car
00:35:41 It said "must have car" in the paper.
00:35:44 It's just... My car...
00:35:54 How about shutting the door?
00:35:59 Good morning!
00:36:03 You look good.
00:36:13 Arkansas versus Texas.
00:36:23 This is new.
00:36:26 It's got eucalyptus.
00:36:37 I'm so proud of you.
00:36:42 It was a beautiful speech you made.
00:36:47 Funny.
00:36:53 Earnest, that was a wonderful speech.
00:37:05 We had to do a cardiac catheterization.
00:37:08 The full amount?
00:37:10 No. $400.
00:37:14 Bill, with your condition,
00:37:18 I'm working.
00:37:19 I know, but I'm saying,
00:37:22 But I am working!
00:37:26 I just wanna make sure
00:37:29 I have a job.
00:37:31 I know.
00:37:32 I'm a salesman. For Watkins!
00:37:37 I know you are.
00:37:49 Bill.
00:37:50 Hi, Larry.
00:37:52 I thought you were... Nobody's here.
00:37:55 We don't need anything.
00:37:56 Larry, I borrowed your...
00:38:02 Between us guys?
00:38:22 Oh, boy.
00:38:28 Hi, Bill.
00:38:32 Okay, honey, let's get you into bed.
00:38:36 I threw up.
00:38:37 Her whole class has it.
00:38:41 Dr. Stewart is home.
00:38:44 No, it's nothing. It's just a stomach flu.
00:38:47 I wouldn't mind.
00:38:48 That's okay, Bill. Thanks.
00:38:51 Charlotte.
00:38:58 I think I should take her.
00:39:10 Son of a bitch.
00:39:15 Would you...
00:39:18 Kimmy, honey, you go with Bill
00:39:21 - Why?
00:39:23 I don't know, just go.
00:39:27 And tell her I'll be right there.
00:39:35 I threw up pancakes and bananas.
00:39:38 That's a good combination.
00:40:13 Ralphie!
00:40:15 Hey, man.
00:40:17 Look, pal, I don't know what to tell you.
00:40:19 I don't want anything.
00:40:22 Don't come back here, all right?
00:40:24 All right.
00:40:25 Merry Christmas from all of us at Watkins.
00:40:32 I'm gonna bring some rawhide samples
00:40:36 They're good for when he's teething.
00:40:38 Damn it!
00:40:41 That had frost burn.
00:40:47 Where's Brad?
00:40:48 Brad who? I don't know any Brad.
00:40:52 I'm a grownup. And I deserve to have
00:40:56 I'm honest with people
00:41:00 It doesn't terrify me
00:41:03 It's not like I'm asking
00:41:06 I treat people with respect,
00:41:11 A math teacher.
00:41:13 A bald, 50-year-old math teacher.
00:41:17 How pathetic is that?
00:41:22 Two cents I'd call his wife.
00:41:25 Does he have someplace to go?
00:41:28 I don't know and I don't care.
00:41:41 Merry Christmas from Watkins.
00:41:43 It's got a magnet on the back.
00:41:49 Yeah, thanks.
00:42:11 Brad's young. People make mistakes.
00:42:16 You two guys are good together.
00:42:20 Merry Christmas, Bill.
00:42:25 Merry Christmas, Alan.
00:42:49 There you go.
00:42:53 Thank you.
00:42:57 This is for you.
00:42:59 You shouldn't have done that. Thank you.
00:43:04 I have something for you.
00:43:13 How sweet!
00:43:14 There's a magnet on the back.
00:43:19 I need a calendar.
00:43:23 Are you sure I can't ask you to stay
00:43:25 No, thanks.
00:43:28 Are you all set for Christmas?
00:43:30 Have you got your turkey?
00:43:32 Twelve pounds!
00:43:34 Food Fair gives them to you for free
00:43:39 I'll have to do that next time.
00:43:43 Are you having your family over?
00:43:46 - No, not really. You?
00:43:50 They're going skiing this year.
00:43:52 That sounds nice.
00:43:53 Colorado, I think.
00:44:06 Merry Christmas, Bill.
00:44:10 You, too, Mrs. Sullivan.
00:44:14 Let me get that.
00:44:49 Let me help you.
00:44:50 No, that's all right.
00:44:52 I'm here for the interview.
00:44:57 Let me get your bag.
00:45:01 Just put it on the table.
00:45:03 Are you sure? I could put it away for you.
00:45:05 No, that's all right.
00:45:07 Okay.
00:45:10 What do you have?
00:45:12 Excuse me?
00:45:13 Your affliction.
00:45:15 Why do you talk like that?
00:45:17 Cerebral palsy.
00:45:21 How do you get that?
00:45:23 From birth.
00:45:24 The doctor squished my head
00:45:30 It's not catching.
00:45:35 What's the job? Just shopping and...
00:45:38 deliveries and general assistance?
00:45:42 Yeah.
00:45:45 You've got a bulb out.
00:45:48 Yeah, under the sink.
00:45:52 Oh, okay.
00:45:56 Let's see, I go to Western.
00:46:00 Okay student.
00:46:03 Don't smoke, don't drink, don't like it.
00:46:07 We're Mormon.
00:46:14 Clearly, I'm good with electronics.
00:46:19 Do I have the job?
00:46:44 Hello.
00:46:48 Yes.
00:46:58 Thank you.
00:47:10 "... and the desert shall rejoice,
00:47:14 "It shall blossom abundantly,
00:47:19 "The glory of Lebanon
00:47:22 "... the excellency of Carmel and Sharon...
00:47:26 "... they shall see the glory of the Lord...
00:47:29 "... and the excellency of our God. "
00:47:53 All of our food and spices...
00:47:56 are 100 percent organic.
00:48:02 May I be completely candid with you?
00:48:05 Cool.
00:48:07 I think...
00:48:12 I feel...
00:48:20 I feel that...
00:48:24 Are you all right?
00:48:28 Our greatest value...
00:48:35 I'm sorry.
00:48:38 I'll come back another time.
00:48:41 - Is there something I can-
00:48:45 I'm sorry.
00:49:47 Good run?
00:49:48 It was great. Can I take a shower here?
00:49:53 - Sure.
00:49:56 They make them for the home.
00:50:01 We can do everything on it.
00:50:06 I like my typewriter. It never breaks down.
00:50:11 I finally finished that paper. What a bear.
00:50:14 Good for you!
00:50:49 Hi. How you doing?
00:50:53 - Where do you want these?
00:50:57 Come here, boy.
00:51:00 Here you go, Bill.
00:51:01 Thanks, Brad.
00:51:04 Clifford!
00:51:06 You need anything else?
00:51:08 Some of that dishwashing detergent.
00:51:11 We have dishwashing detergent.
00:51:12 No. I used it up.
00:51:14 Yeah, under the sink.
00:51:15 Alan, I used it.
00:51:16 If you fight, I'm gonna separate you.
00:51:18 I'm gonna put you down
00:51:22 Anything else to go?
00:51:23 Yeah, those go into the van, too.
00:51:25 Hi, Jerry.
00:51:27 Hey, Bill.
00:51:33 What did the doctor say?
00:51:36 It's bizarre. It's some kind of cancer.
00:51:38 Kaposi's sarcoma.
00:51:39 Some skin cancer that only
00:51:43 He'll be okay.
00:51:44 He's young. He'll be fine.
00:51:46 Here's what we need.
00:51:48 Shelly, take that catalogue
00:51:50 Alan, you love this stuff.
00:51:52 No buying.
00:51:53 No, he's right. You love this stuff.
00:52:03 Those two are like an old married couple.
00:52:05 They've been together forever.
00:52:08 What do you mean?
00:52:12 That's not right. That's a sin.
00:52:14 If you can find somebody to love,
00:52:18 We don't believe in it.
00:52:21 God made all of us, Shelly.
00:52:32 How's Kimmy?
00:52:34 She's doing good. She's good.
00:52:39 Listen, Bill,
00:52:43 I chased some kids out of there.
00:52:45 He rattles around in that house.
00:52:48 Is he seeing anyone?
00:52:51 I'm sure I don't know.
00:52:53 I think Rhonda's death
00:52:59 We all take our knocks, don't we?
00:53:09 What's with her?
00:53:12 It's kind of a long story, but...
00:53:16 You see that tree?
00:53:24 I'll pick you up at a quarter to.
00:53:26 No.
00:53:27 Will you stop?
00:53:28 I'll be here at a quarter of eight.
00:53:30 I don't want you spending your money-
00:53:33 I can't hear you.
00:53:36 I'm putting on a dress,
00:53:50 I think his parents are very...
00:53:53 - Thank you.
00:53:55 Wait.
00:53:59 It makes your wish come true.
00:54:12 - Come here, birthday boy.
00:54:18 You know what?
00:54:19 What?
00:54:20 I'm really proud of you tonight.
00:54:21 Why?
00:54:22 You haven't tried to sell laundry detergent
00:54:25 I was gonna hit them up on the way out.
00:54:38 You're the best thing
00:54:42 Do you know that?
00:54:51 Don't get all mushy on me.
00:54:57 Come on.
00:54:58 Where?
00:55:01 Come on.
00:55:03 No.
00:55:09 I don't want to. I don't think so.
00:55:13 Come on!
00:55:17 Watch me, okay?
00:55:41 Joseph Sloan.
00:55:51 Shelly Soentpiet.
00:56:04 Steven Squall.
00:56:24 It took me six years, but I finally did it.
00:56:27 - I'm so proud of you.
00:56:31 I wanted you to meet John.
00:56:33 Who's John?
00:56:34 Hey, missy!
00:56:35 - We did it.
00:56:37 Mom and Dad
00:56:42 I thought I lost you there.
00:56:46 - Hi.
00:56:48 Thanks. John, this is-
00:56:50 Bill Porter, of course. The "boss. "
00:56:53 It's nice to meet you, John.
00:56:55 Two degrees, isn't he annoying?
00:57:00 You know what? We should go.
00:57:03 We're gonna ride with John's dad, right?
00:57:06 My folks will take you over.
00:57:08 Okay.
00:57:09 Thanks for coming!
00:57:11 - We'll meet you at the restaurant.
00:57:12 - 'Bye.
00:57:31 Bill, this is turning into a science project.
00:57:36 I don't even know what that was.
00:57:38 Has John decided
00:57:41 He's leaning towards Bendix.
00:57:44 Where are they?
00:57:45 Chicago.
00:57:48 Chicago?
00:57:49 I know. I can't even think about that.
00:57:52 When?
00:57:53 I don't know.
00:57:55 Damn it!
00:57:57 What?
00:57:59 The "B" sticks.
00:58:01 Get rid of that thing.
00:58:03 We should get a computer.
00:58:04 I can't afford a computer.
00:58:06 Yes, you can.
00:58:07 John could get one real cheap.
00:58:12 I don't like them.
00:58:13 We have electricity
00:58:16 We should just toss that piece of...
00:58:20 What?
00:58:21 The orders. I already did them. Here.
00:58:24 - Why?
00:58:26 I do the orders.
00:58:28 I know that, but I just-
00:58:30 I do the order forms!
00:58:31 But it takes you so long,
00:58:34 I don't want you to do them.
00:58:36 All right.
00:58:38 - I have my own way.
00:58:41 I have to read them,
00:58:46 You're not helping me, Shelly.
00:58:49 If you think you're helping me, you're not.
00:58:52 I'm sorry.
00:58:53 It's just, I have a certain way.
00:58:56 I'm not talking about the forms.
00:59:25 Thanks very much. I appreciate it.
00:59:28 Hey, Bill.
00:59:30 Chuck, congratulations.
00:59:32 Thanks very much. Peter!
00:59:34 Peter.
00:59:37 I'd like you to meet Bill Porter.
00:59:38 - Peter Schaefer.
00:59:40 Peter's taking over for me.
00:59:42 Welcome to Watkins.
00:59:44 Thank you.
00:59:45 We're gonna miss this guy.
00:59:47 Hey, Porter!
00:59:50 Excuse me.
00:59:54 What's he do?
00:59:56 He's a salesman.
00:59:58 Seriously.
00:59:59 I am serious.
01:00:00 Did you see what happened to Frigidaire?
01:00:02 He's a salesman.
01:00:03 Kelvinator!
01:00:04 What, for us?
01:00:05 Whose idea was that?
01:00:07 Mine.
01:00:09 You are so...
01:00:13 If you made a dollar a year for 5,000 years.
01:00:19 Congratulations, Chuck.
01:00:21 Thanks, Tom.
01:00:25 And thanks everybody for 43 great years.
01:00:28 Thank you.
01:00:33 Chuck, you stay retired.
01:00:35 I don't want to catch you over at Fuller.
01:00:37 Only if they pay me to fly-fish.
01:00:42 like Bardot. Maybe not exactly, right?
01:00:45 But her lips...
01:00:47 I take the lid off, and she leans...
01:00:50 over the couch to smell the stuff,
01:00:53 And I'm staring at two
01:00:57 perfectly shaped, porcelain white ta-tas.
01:01:00 I look up, she's smelling the stuff,
01:01:04 Bill Porter.
01:01:07 It's you! You won!
01:01:09 What?
01:01:10 Salesman of the Year. Get up there.
01:01:13 Come on up here, Bill.
01:01:33 - Congratulations.
01:01:35 We are so proud to have you
01:01:38 This past year, Bill had sales...
01:01:41 of $42,460.
01:01:48 Bill Porter. Salesman of the Year!
01:01:58 I love being a salesman.
01:02:01 My father was a salesman.
01:02:04 I wish he could be here.
01:02:09 And my mother, who taught me...
01:02:12 patience and persistence.
01:02:16 And who would never let me be ashamed.
01:02:23 I wish she could be here today.
01:02:28 Thank you.
01:02:57 Take it to that house over there, okay?
01:02:59 You got it? It's not too heavy?
01:03:01 This is messed up.
01:03:03 Bill, you labeled that wrong.
01:03:06 It's all right.
01:03:07 No. You've got Bob at 825 Elm.
01:03:10 No, it's all right.
01:03:11 What do you want me to do with the box?
01:03:13 To Bob.
01:03:14 Should I change the label?
01:03:16 - No.
01:03:17 Could someone tell me
01:03:20 Please take it to that house.
01:03:22 Thank you, Michelle.
01:03:23 Okay.
01:03:24 Okay, fine. It's wrong, but fine.
01:03:57 This must be yours.
01:04:02 Bill got the address wrong.
01:04:07 I'll just leave it right here.
01:04:11 Wait.
01:04:22 It's just junk mail,
01:04:29 Want me to take this in the house for you?
01:04:32 Okay.
01:04:40 I got a wall there. This is better.
01:04:44 Larry took that down.
01:04:49 I see you get the barbecue sauce.
01:04:51 Yeah.
01:04:53 Have you tried the lemon garlic?
01:04:55 No.
01:04:57 Is it good?
01:04:59 I don't know. Bill says it is.
01:05:07 Put it on that table.
01:05:28 Yes?
01:05:29 I'm looking for Mrs. Sullivan.
01:05:31 Are you a friend of hers?
01:05:33 She's a customer.
01:05:35 I'm with the Watkins Company.
01:05:38 I'm her daughter-in-law.
01:05:41 Gladys passed away last week.
01:05:45 I didn't know she was sick.
01:05:48 I'm sorry.
01:05:50 How did she die?
01:05:52 It was an accident.
01:05:53 Some kind of reaction
01:05:56 It was vodka and sleeping pills.
01:05:58 Frank, they don't know that.
01:06:00 Are you Bill Parker?
01:06:03 Bill Porter.
01:06:06 Come here. I want to show you something.
01:06:09 She talked about you...
01:06:13 a lot.
01:06:16 Every year, at Christmas,
01:06:19 we'd get the Watkins spice collection...
01:06:22 the soup bases, the liniment.
01:06:48 Dog biscuits...
01:06:52 Damn dog died years ago.
01:06:55 Excuse me.
01:07:27 Hey, Bill. What do you think?
01:07:29 Very nice, Richard.
01:07:31 It was supposed to have been done
01:07:35 Okay.
01:07:36 You got a card? You need a security card.
01:07:42 Could you take your hat off, please, sir?
01:07:51 You got to do it fast.
01:07:56 Bingo!
01:07:57 Have a good one.
01:08:11 Pretty cool, huh?
01:08:12 Hello, Peter. What is this?
01:08:16 This is all the 800 number.
01:08:18 Makes us door-to-door guys
01:08:22 You know, each operator
01:08:25 They're taking orders. They aren't selling.
01:08:27 When you cash a check,
01:08:32 There's Clark.
01:08:34 A lot of the door-to-door guys
01:08:37 I've never done well on the phone.
01:08:39 Women find my voice sexy,
01:08:44 You're getting close to retirement anyway,
01:08:47 Not really.
01:08:49 Where's the door-to-door office?
01:08:53 I think it's down there.
01:08:56 Thank you.
01:09:04 Is Rita here?
01:09:07 Rita? I don't know Rita.
01:09:11 She runs the door-to-door division.
01:09:16 She's gone, I think.
01:09:18 Who took her place?
01:09:21 I don't know, man.
01:09:23 I need product cards
01:09:27 Okay, cool, no problem.
01:09:32 No. I have the new catalogue.
01:09:38 Okay, you know what?
01:09:40 But they're probably here somewhere,
01:10:38 Race you.
01:10:40 No running, guys.
01:10:41 Slow down!
01:10:47 Bill!
01:10:49 Hi, guys.
01:10:51 Hi, Bill.
01:10:53 - Easy, guys, off the bed, please.
01:10:56 - Guess what?
01:10:57 - You have to close your eyes.
01:11:00 No, that's all right. My eyes are closed.
01:11:02 Ready?
01:11:07 - So stupid.
01:11:11 - You can have it. It's a present.
01:11:15 Thank you.
01:11:16 Michelle, will you take them
01:11:18 Get some juice out of the machine.
01:11:20 - 'Bye, Bill.
01:11:28 - They finally called us back.
01:11:30 Yep. They won't budge.
01:11:32 They maintain that some
01:11:35 We can take them to arbitration.
01:11:36 I don't know.
01:11:37 They're digging up X-rays
01:11:40 We've got to go after the bus company.
01:11:42 No.
01:11:43 With the deductible, they're only willing
01:11:47 John's right, we have to sue.
01:11:49 It was my fault.
01:11:52 It doesn't matter.
01:11:55 It wasn't their fault.
01:11:57 Pedestrians have the right of way.
01:11:59 No.
01:12:00 Okay, fine!
01:12:04 Which account do you want me
01:12:08 And it's not over.
01:12:09 The insurance company's covering half.
01:12:11 You've still got physical therapy,
01:12:13 You're looking at $40,000 to $50,000.
01:12:18 I'm gonna sell the house.
01:12:19 What?
01:12:20 It's too big and it costs too much
01:12:24 Where are you gonna go?
01:12:26 Someplace smaller.
01:12:30 I think we can settle
01:12:32 No.
01:12:33 Just for expenses, out of court.
01:12:36 I'm gonna sell the house.
01:12:39 It's the right thing to do.
01:12:43 Very funny, Bill.
01:12:50 Sorry.
01:12:59 It's the equivalent of eight boxes.
01:13:03 It's super-concentrated.
01:13:06 It comes out to about three cents a load.
01:13:11 But may I be candid?
01:13:14 It's our best value.
01:13:18 It's most effective when used
01:13:23 and the fabric softener.
01:13:24 They're designed to work together.
01:13:30 Is the fabric softener scented?
01:13:34 I do, too. Ours is very mild.
01:13:39 It's practically unscented.
01:13:46 Okay, wait! Will you wait?
01:13:49 If you fall and break your neck,
01:13:54 It's good to be here.
01:13:55 Yeah? Good, I'm glad.
01:13:58 All right, let me take your coat.
01:14:01 Look at that.
01:14:03 Do you like it?
01:14:04 Yeah.
01:14:05 Good. I figured that the couch
01:14:08 but if you want it someplace different-
01:14:11 No, this is good.
01:14:12 Okay, good. I stocked you up.
01:14:16 Are you hungry?
01:14:18 No, you should get back to the kids.
01:14:21 I'm hungry.
01:14:22 I'm gonna make myself some soup.
01:14:26 Shelly?
01:14:27 Yeah?
01:14:29 I'm going to have to let you go.
01:14:31 Go, where?
01:14:34 I can't pay you,
01:14:38 I knew you were gonna say that.
01:14:41 I can get around.
01:14:43 Please.
01:14:44 What? I have to go to the kitchen...
01:14:48 go to the bathroom...
01:14:51 pretty much in that order.
01:14:53 I'll reduce my hours.
01:14:54 I can't pay you.
01:14:55 You don't have to.
01:14:57 Bill.
01:14:58 You're unbearable.
01:15:00 All right, fine.
01:15:02 I'm not your assistant. I'm your friend.
01:15:05 Your friend is gonna stop by every day
01:15:10 Now I'm gonna make
01:15:18 Under the couch.
01:15:20 What?
01:15:21 Look under the couch.
01:15:32 Initial here.
01:15:39 And sign here.
01:15:43 Congratulations.
01:15:44 The market's been so flat these days,
01:15:48 Why would a corporation want this house?
01:15:51 Investment property.
01:15:52 I think it's a tax thing.
01:15:54 What's the name of the corporation?
01:15:57 The name isn't-
01:15:58 That's my fault. I got the name wrong.
01:16:01 Good news.
01:16:03 I'll be the leasing agent on this house.
01:16:05 - Have you found a place yet?
01:16:08 I was thinking maybe you could
01:16:14 How much would the rent be?
01:16:16 What would you feel comfortable with?
01:16:29 Do you think I'm stupid?
01:16:31 Do I think? I know you're stupid.
01:16:33 I don't want charity.
01:16:36 It's not charity. It's an investment.
01:16:38 Then why didn't you tell me?
01:16:40 Why do you think?
01:16:42 I am not going to let you buy my house.
01:16:45 It's too late.
01:16:50 Bill, wait.
01:16:55 You deceived me.
01:16:58 I do not.
01:17:01 someone who's important to me.
01:17:04 You're part of my family.
01:17:06 No, Shelly. You have a family.
01:17:09 I hired you,
01:17:13 You treat me like a cripple.
01:17:17 You are a cripple! An emotional cripple!
01:17:20 Normal people help each other, Bill.
01:17:22 You're so hung up on your independence.
01:17:25 "I don't need anybody. "
01:17:28 That doesn't make you normal, Bill.
01:17:33 You don't want our help, fine!
01:17:35 Then be out of the house in 30 days.
01:17:45 Do you want me to call you a cab?
01:17:49 I'm calling you a cab.
01:17:52 God!
01:18:25 Whatever you wanna do... That's great.
01:18:30 Yeah, I think that'll be possible.
01:18:36 Yeah, that's all right.
01:18:43 the whole Internet right at my fingertips.
01:18:47 the news is breaking, I've got Internet.
01:18:51 I could stay a little closer to my family.
01:18:53 You've got mail.
01:18:54 America Online. Easy to use.
01:18:57 - Put in the disk, click, you're online.
01:19:01 - You finished, hon?
01:19:03 - Anything else?
01:19:09 - You a salesman?
01:19:13 - You're a dancer?
01:19:17 Disco, mostly.
01:19:19 You go, boy.
01:20:34 Sorry, I didn't know which apartment.
01:20:36 - You're Bill Porter, right?
01:20:38 Hi, I'm Joey Wallace. Portland Daily News.
01:20:40 - Hi.
01:20:43 Guess we're even.
01:20:44 How do you mean?
01:20:46 You scared me when I was a little kid,
01:20:49 Kyle Pyle.
01:20:51 Wallace. 362 Chestnut.
01:20:55 You've got an amazing memory.
01:20:58 No, I have to go...
01:21:00 I'll get right to the point, then.
01:21:02 I want to write a story
01:21:05 Last of a dying...
01:21:07 Loss of a tradition.
01:21:09 It wouldn't necessarily
01:21:12 Thank you, but, no.
01:21:13 Take my card, then.
01:21:17 I guess this is where I'm supposed
01:21:19 try to keep you
01:21:22 No, don't do that. That never works.
01:21:24 That's the kind of thing
01:21:59 Can I come in?
01:22:06 Nice. Love what you've done
01:22:09 Very funny, Shelly. What do you want?
01:22:13 There were three boxes
01:22:15 What should I do with them?
01:22:17 Can you deliver them for me?
01:22:20 You want me to help you?
01:22:21 I'll pay you.
01:22:24 I see, so that's how it works.
01:22:26 Forget it. I'll take care of it myself.
01:22:28 Shut up. Of course I'll deliver the boxes.
01:22:32 I'll take care of it, I said.
01:22:36 Fine. They're in my car.
01:22:39 I'II leave them by the front door.
01:22:43 You quit your job.
01:22:51 You're a celebrity.
01:22:53 I said no. I didn't want him to write that.
01:23:01 Listen, Bill.
01:23:05 I've been thinking about the fight we had.
01:23:10 Maybe I said some things...
01:23:17 Then you go and quit your job.
01:23:20 No. We both said things.
01:23:27 And the job...
01:23:30 It was time.
01:23:34 What are you gonna do?
01:23:35 I'm gonna take up kickboxing.
01:23:46 It's a nice article. You should read it.
01:24:21 I never really took notice,
01:24:26 This odd man with the funny walk
01:24:33 One day, he just stopped coming.
01:24:36 Man, my chilblains are killing me.
01:24:39 These hands are so dry. Tried everything.
01:24:46 He was a thread...
01:24:49 an invisible thread in our neighborhood...
01:24:54 which tied us together...
01:24:56 bringing us news:
01:24:59 Who died...
01:25:04 who moved away...
01:25:07 who just got married.
01:25:15 He's a door-to-door salesman
01:25:19 who many considered unemployable.
01:25:24 Mr. Porter, that was a wonderful article
01:25:27 I didn't want that.
01:25:32 Is Peter in?
01:25:34 Hi, Bill. It was a great article in the paper.
01:25:36 I didn't want him to write that.
01:25:38 Hey, Bill, how you doing?
01:25:40 Can I talk to you?
01:25:41 I was just heading out. What's up?
01:25:43 I want my territory back, Peter.
01:25:46 We've shut that department down.
01:25:49 I don't need a department. AII I need is-
01:25:52 Bill, you did the right thing.
01:25:56 It's over. Retire. Go fishing, enjoy yourself.
01:26:00 I don't want to go fishing. I wanna work.
01:26:03 There must be something you can do.
01:26:05 Have you checked
01:26:07 Carla, I'm gonna be gone until 2:30.
01:26:10 Peter! Don't run off. I need two minutes.
01:26:13 Great seeing you, Bill. Best of luck to you.
01:26:17 Wonderful piece in the paper, Bill.
01:26:21 I'd like to put a copy of it
01:26:26 What do I care? I'm going fishing.
01:26:29 What piece in the paper?
01:27:10 Get off the bus.
01:27:20 A salesman drives down
01:27:23 completely lost.
01:27:26 After a time, he runs out of gas.
01:27:30 Luckily, there's a farmhouse
01:27:35 He goes to the farmhouse
01:27:40 The farmer's wife comes to the door
01:27:47 "Yes, " he says, "you can.
01:27:55 "I've run out of gas, and I've lost my way. "
01:28:02 I'll bet you anything... Try this.
01:28:04 That the cream you've been using
01:28:08 She says, "You can spend the night. "
01:28:11 Put some of this on your fingers.
01:28:15 "But I don't have a daughter...
01:28:20 "... and you'll have a nice room
01:28:27 "We don't have any farm animals. "
01:28:31 All right, Bob, I'm gonna bring you
01:28:35 That's fine, Bill. But, no promises.
01:28:37 Don't worry.
01:28:38 "My husband and I are happily married. "
01:28:40 A beautiful day.
01:28:44 Have a good one, Bill.
01:28:50 The salesman looks around confused...
01:28:54 and then he turns back
01:28:58 "Gosh. I must be in the wrong joke! "
01:30:45 English
