:08:03
What do you say? No?
:08:06
Oh, that's OK.
:08:08
You'll be back. I'll have a life.
:08:12
# Well, I'm waiting for my wake-up call
:08:16
# And everything's my fault
:08:19
Good morning, Mary.
:08:21
(phone rings)
:08:24
This is Brandon.
:08:25
Congratulations, you went nine and two
last Sunday. This is Walter Abrams.
:08:30
I don't know if you know me. I run
the biggest sports service in the country,
:08:33
and I'm a big fan of yours, Brandon.
:08:35
As a matter of fact,
I've got a poster of you on my wall.
:08:38
- This is a joke, right?
- No, this is not ajoke. This is ajob offer.
:08:42
In your top drawer- go ahead, open it up -
there's an envelope with your name on it.
:08:47
Now, that's travel cash and an airline
ticket. It's not a magic trick, Brandon.
:08:52
I paid someone to put it there,
:08:54
who told me that the place you're in
reminded him of a Turkish prison.
:08:58
Now, all I'm asking you to do
is come up with a number.
:09:01
You write down the number
of what you make now, you cross it out,
:09:04
you write what you should be making,
:09:07
and then toss in how much it's gonna take
to get you to fly to New York first-class
:09:11
and come work for me.
:09:13
Now, focus, Brandon, focus.
:09:16
With your bum knee, a comeback
isjust a dream. My offer is real.
:09:20
- Run the numbers, do the math.
- (phone rings)
:09:23
Hold on a second. Yeah.
:09:26
(Brandon) Mom holding twojobs,
Denny going to college,
:09:29
this looked like a chance
to make some real money.
:09:32
And besides, I'd never seen New York
and New York had never seen me.
:09:36
Oh, goodness. Hey.
:09:38
All right.
:09:44
So what's this guy Walter like?
How long have you been working for him?
:09:49
A long time.
:09:50
- Two weeks. (laughs)
- Two weeks.
:09:53
Every day with Walter's an adventure.
:09:56
# Super cool, super mean
:09:58
# Feelin' good for the man,
superfly, here I stand
