And I'm here on a mission of mercy.
Your name's levene?

You call yourself a
salesman, you son of a bitch?
I don't got to listen to this shit.
You certainly don't, pal,
'cause the good news is
you're fired.
The bad news is you've
got, all of you've got,
just one week to regain your
jobs, starting with tonight.
Starting with tonight's sit.
Oh, have I got your attention now?
Good.
'Cause we're adding a little something
to this month's sales contest.
As you all know, first prize
is a Cadillac El dorado.
Anybody want to see second prize?
Second prize is a set of steak knives.
Third prize is you're fired.
Do you get the picture?
Are you laughing now?
You got leads.
Mitch and Murray paid good money.
Get their names to sell them.
You can't close the leads you're given,
you can't close shit, you are shit!
Hit the bricks, pal, and beat
it, 'cause you are going out!
= the leads are weak.
The leads are weak?
The fuckin' leads are weak?
You're weak.
I've been in this business 15 years.
- What's your name?
- Fuck you, that's my name!
You know why, mister?
Because you drove a hyundai
to get here tonight,
I drove an $80,000 BMW.
That's my name.
And your name is you're wanting.
You can't play in the man's game?
You can't close them?
Then go home and tell
your wife your troubles.
Because only one thing
counts in this life,
get them to sign on the
line which is dotted!
You hear me, you fucking faggots?
A-b-c.
A, always, b, be, c, closing.
Always be closing.
A=I-d-a.
Attention, interest, decision, action.
Attention.
Do I have your attention?
Interest.
Are you interested?
I know you are, because it's fuck or walk.
You close or you hit the bricks.
Decision.
Have you made your decision for Christ?
And action.
A=I-d-a.
Get out there, you got
the prospects coming in.
You think they came in
to get out of the rain?
A guy don't walk on the
lot lest he wants to buy.
They're sitting out there
waiting to give you their money.
Are you gonna take it?
Are you man enough to take it?
Crap.
What's the problem, pal?
You, moss.
You're such a hero, you're so rich.
How come you're here, waste your time
with such a bunch of bums?
= you see this watch?
You see this watch?
Yeah.
That watch costs more than your car.
I made $970,000 last year.
How much you make?
You see, pal, that's who
I am, and you're nothing.
Nice guy?
I don't give a shit.
Good father?
Fuck you, go home and play with your kids.
You want to work here, close!
You think this is abuse?
You think this is abuse, you cocksucker?
You can't take this, how can you take
the abuse you get on a sit?
You don't like it, leave.
I can go out there tonight,
the materials you got,
make myself $15,000.
Tonight, in two hours!
Can you?
Can you?
Go and do likewise.
A=I-d-a.
Get mad, you son of a bitches.
Get mad!
You know what it takes
to sell real estate?
It takes brass balls to sell real estate.
Go and do likewise, gents.
The money's out there, you
pick it up, it's yours,
you don't, I got no sympathy for you.
You want to go out on those
sits tonight and close,
close, it's yours.
Not, you're gonna be shining my shoes.
And you know what you'll be saying.
Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar,
"oh yeah, I used to be a salesman.
"It's a tough racket.â€
These are the new leads.
These are the glengarry leads.
And to you, they're gold.
And you don't get them.
Why?
Because to give them to you
is just throwing them away.
They're for closers.
I'd wish you good luck,
but you wouldn't know
what to do with it if you got it.
And to answer your question,
pal, "why am I here?"
I came here because Mitch
and Murray asked me to.
They asked me for a favor.
I said, "the real favor, follow my advice
"and fire your fucking ass,
because a loser is a loser."
Bunch of fucking nonsense.
Treat people like that.
The fuck is he gonna get ff?
Mickey mouse sales conference.
He didn't mean it.
I'm sure he didn't mean it about
trimming down the sales quota.
Where is roma?
Where the hell is Mr. Ricky roma?
All the while we got to sit
here, eat this nonsense?
Hello?
Mr. levene, how's she doing?
Uh-huh, yeah, is she awake?
Oh, the doctor came by.
What did he say?
Uh-huh.
Okay, well look, I can't come in tonight.
I think, yes, I know she is.
Ti know that she is.
I've gotta go out.
Will you please tell her when she wakes?
I've got to go out.
And tell her I'll call her from the road.
Thank you.
Gentlemen, you heard the man.
- What is this in aid of?
- As of tonight...
What is this?
What it's in aid of is
that Mitch and Murray...
Fuck Mitch and Murray!
Fuck 'em, I'm doing my
job, I got to put up
with this childishness?
=-t don't make the rules.
You don't like the rules, Dave?
There's the door!
Two lead cards for tonight,
two lead cards for tomorrow.
As you heard, end of
the month, top salesman
on the board gets the El dorado.
- Next man down the...
- What about the good leads?
The leads I've given you.
= but these leads are shit.
They're old, I've seen
that name 100 times.
The leads are assigned randomly.
What about the new leads, huh?
The new leads.
The glengarry leads.
I've got them.
I'm gonna hang onto them.
And they'll be assigned to closers,
based on the sales volume, first to roma.
- Where is roma?
- Don't worry about roma.
He'll get his leads, you've got yours.
He's top name on the
board, so he don't have
to be here for this shit?
= that's correct!
And as the hour is waning, I suggest you,
those of you who are
interested in a continuing job
with this organization, get to work.
That's garbage.
Bullshit.
Thank you for your attention.
= bullshit!
How am I supposed to close these?
Look at this.
I've had this guy before.
I've been to his house twice.
Ti can't...
T can't close this stuff.
Shelley, how am I supposed to...
They're gonna bounce me out of a job.
Hello, Mr. palermo?
I'm sorry.
Mr. speice?
Mr. Robert speice?
Yeah, this is George aaronow.
I'm with rio.
I spoke with your wife earlier.
Yeah, I'm the vice president
of rio rancho properties
in furman, Arizona.
Yes.
I'm calling from the airport,
and consulting my map,
I see that you and your
wife live near the airport.
I have some rather unusual,
rather good information
on the property...
Hello, this is Sheldon levene.
Please listen closely, I
only have a moment or so.
I can speak only to a Mrs. nyborg.
Oh, this is Mrs. nyborg.
Please listen closely, Mrs. nyborg.
I'm calling from consolidated
properties of Arizona.
Our computer has chosen you
from all of the many thousands
who write in requesting
information on our properties.
Now by federal law, as you probably know,
the prize must be awarded
to you even if you are not
engaged in our land development plan.
The only stipulation,
of course, is that you
and your husband must
sign at the same time
for the receipt of your prize.
Now, I will be in the area
tonight, possibly tomorrow.
What do you think might
be a convenient time
to meet with both you and your husband?
Of course I'll hold.
Bunch of fucking nonsense, huh?
Ti can't close them.
Nobody can close 'em.
They're ancient, a
bunch of fucking nonsense.
Get some jerk to come in here.
Sometimes I think, I wonder
if I belong in this business.
Send a guy out there,
no support, no confidence.
Then I say, "nobody can close 'em."
Then I look at roma.
Roma, fuck roma.
Had a freak little run of luck.
The leads are garbage.
