You've got them all by the balls,

Stonewalls, bar brawls,

To you they crawl, body sprawled,

Close calls, stand tall,
doll, you make them feel so small
And they love it

The way you rock, nonstop,

Flip-flop, she bop, self-taught,

Her lyrics heave, kids receive,

Parents peeved, can't conceive

Got your message.
And, yeah, you were right.
I stayed up all night trying to fix
the controller area network.
The wiring checks out,
but something's still not working.
It's like she doesn't want to be fixed.
Unlike us, this car's got
communication issues.
But after all these months,
you probably figured out
I'll go crazy before I ever
give up on her.
Your friend from across the bridge.
Or-or maybe, like an...
Yeah, it's your drive shaft.
Are you sure?
Because maybe it's more of an...
No, no, no, I-I totally get it.
I was just under there.
Um, it's a quick CV joint replacement.
Very simple.
Now you're talking to me in a language
I can't even understand,
like those other guys.
I'll just give you the keys.
Uh, it's a constant velocity joint.
It dries up over time with overuse.
I know the feeling.
What are we doing today?
Uh, we're gonna work on the drive shaft,
and then an oil change, on the house.
Oh, wow. Thank you.
Mrs. Novak, you taught me
how to fractionate decibels.
How could I ever repay you?
- Um, that's not really a thing.
- Mm.
I'm just gonna grab your keys,
and then I'm gonna leave you
in Izzy's very capable hands.
Oh, wow. Capable hands is right.
Look at those nails.
Girl, I did 'em myself.
I wish I had time to treat myself
to a manicure.
Don't look at them. They're a disaster.
You have time right now.
Oh, um... we got a bumper mount on deck.
Okay.
Oh, and the lady with the bangs
dropped her car off for a tire rotation.
Okay. Yeah.
New constant velocity joints
in under two hours.
Ta-da.
Perfect timing.
We were literally finishing.
You ladies are genius.
Filling this time with some pampering?
I never would have time
to do so otherwise.
Can't believe all these years,
and I could've been
walking out of here with these.
Hey, can I make my next appointment now?
Uh, for nails?
We don't really do that here.
Well, if you guys change your mind,
let me know. I'll be back.
Could even get me to bring in my car
as often as I'm supposed to.
Change your oil every six months.
Don't forget, olive oil on the cuticles
in three days.
Yeah.
What?
I can squeeze you in if you want.
Another happy customer.
Kam.
You have a caller.
Two minutes.
Oh, my God. Where do you find these guys?
Um, at a bar where people go.
Actually, I'll take you out
because he might have a brother.
- Izzy, a little help here, please.
- Or a sister.
Kam, I think
what Charlie's trying to say is
she wants you to stop
telling her the truth.
Oh.
My job here is done. Adios.
Clearly, Marge is my only friend.
Oh, well, Marge isn't gonna get
your sparks plugged, so...
- Mm.
- You're fired.
- I'm fired?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, so... we can sleep in?
- I'm gonna do that.
- No.
- I'm gonna sleep in.
- Mm-mm.
Okay. Love you. Bye, boss.
My God.
Marge.
She used to belong
to a former Hells Angel.
One of the toughest guys in Oakland.
My dad.
Oh, Marge, you're so close
to getting back on the road.
To be fair, he probably
wouldn't have saved up
for so many years
to buy it off of our old neighbor
if his teenaged daughter wasn't
pestering him every day to do so.
She was meant to be our project.
The final test of everything
we learned together.
Working on Marge makes me
feel close to him.
As if he's still around.
He could fix anything.
Now I'm just trying to get her
back out on the road
where she belongs.
To finish what we started.
Your dad sounds like
he was an incredible guy.
And I bet daydreaming about our road trip
keeps you going
when the rebuild starts to grind.
The thought of cruising her
through Big Sur is the only thing
getting me through
the rest of these drip rails.
You know,
I've heard so much about Marge
and still haven't got to see her.
Kind of like someone else I know.
You know our roles.
No names, no photos, just cars.
Okay, so...
what about names and photos
of just our cars?
Meet Diane.
You want to race?
She's beautiful.
This may be the first time
a guy on the Internet
has sent me a picture
I actually wanted to see.
Charlie.
You know, um, falling in love
with people on a nerdy car forum
is seen in some circles...
Not all... some, most...
As a cry for help.
Yeah, Kam, how long have you known me?
Have I ever been in love?
Nine of the most beautiful years
of my life.
And no,
not unless you count that 1966 Mustang.
People are unreliable. Cars aren't.
They are always exactly
where you left them,
and if there's a problem, you just fix it.
O'Malley, that's brutal.
I don't even know his name.
You don't know his name?
So he could be anybody?
He could be, like...
- Hey, Sammy!
- Kam! Kam!
- Hey, are you on Reddit?
- Shut... Kam, shut-shut...
- Do you know what that is?
- Shut-shut-shut... Shut up.
I know some things, okay?
Just kidding.
Like...
I know he lives in Nob Hill,
and he loves classic cars,
and he hates his corporate job,
and he wants to revolutionize
car renovation.
Why are you laughing?
Because he sounds like an 80-year-old
with a subscription to Popular Mechanics.
Are you gonna get that?
You might not have much longer.
I'm willing to take that risk.
All I'm saying is just be careful, okay,
'cause, like,
you don't know who this guy is.
Could be anybody.
I mean, he could be messing with you.
I promise to be careful.
Now, would you please shut up?
Besides, I told him I'm not ready
to meet right now.
Whatever you say...
"GreaseMnky."
Really?
You're just, like,
blocking with your whole body.
Think I won't see you?
I can see you.
Please some peace and quiet
while I try to do this.
Ridiculous.
- Get back to work.
- What? Hey, this is an establishment.
Woke in my bed
next to my best friend
Hide in the shed
fixing all your plans
Come on. Come on.
Won't hit the road
unless you know the way
Tell me to go
oh, if it feels so
But I just want you to be...
Sorry, I didn't mean
to go radio-silent last night.
I fell asleep, but I woke up dying to hear
if you finally got it working.
I still can't get over that you're trying
to put an electric engine in a Bronco.
You do deserve to get sent
to the madhouse.
I have a dream of opening a classic car
restoration shop one day, Revival Rides.
And I'll work with all kinds
of eccentric clients,
even ones as crazy as you.
Not much to report,
except the temperature sensors
are acting up again.
When they're not working right,
the whole car thinks
it's too hot or too cold to start.
I've readjusted everything one last time,
but if this doesn't work,
I'll be back at square one.
You know, my dad always said
women would make the best mechanics
because they'd have the sensitivity
to treat these beasts
like the beauties they are.
You may as well try
treating her like a lady.
Have a conversation with her.
Tell her how you feel.
Assuming you know
how to do that, of course.
I wanted to be yours
All right, look, I know we had
our rough patches, but...
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I'm just a man sitting in his car...
asking her to love him.
Come on, girl.
Ah, there you are.
If I could just get it right
All right.
I would sing it every night...
You know, it's nice having
someone I can be totally open with,
even if it means
we remain perfect strangers.
Hope you have a nice day
across the bridge.
And as you will see,
our earnings have grown by ten percent
in the last five quarters.
Uh, Nigella.
We have three new locations
going up immediately.
Sam, you're going to Orlando.
Oh. Okay.
Trev, you're managing Denver.
Denver? I'm, sorry, uh...
I don't think I can do that.
My wife, she just opened a coffee shop.
I... No, I... Um, please? I...
- We could maybe, uh, figure something out.
- Nigella, I, uh, have Pilates
- in ten minutes...
- Uh, I'll go to Denver.
- So if we could move this along.
- I can move to Denver.
Paul. Paul is managing Denver.
Oh. Okay.
I appreciate that loyalty, Patrick.
It's actually an honor, sir. Yeah.
And finally, we are sending...
Oh, oh, I want to do this one.
Closer.
You're going across the bridge.
Oakland.
Got it.
Open up the new store, get it on its feet,
pass it on to a local manager.
Bing-bang-boom.
Sir, we did receive a note.
Locations made an error.
Seems our Oakland location is directly
across the street from O'Malley's.
Ooh...
Little hand-to-hand combat.
Nothing you can't handle well.
It's a one-off mom-and-pop shop, right?
O'Malley's has old community ties.
And I'm sure they have
uncompetitive pricing.
The optics could be a problem.
Optics. Right.
You, uh, ever hear about the burger joint
across the street
from the first McDonald's?
- Neither have I.
- This is why he is the closer.
You know, when I first discovered Beau...
he was working under cars in Fresno.
But it was his marketing ideas
that closed every shop
within a three-mile radius.
It was beautiful.
Maybe caused some unemployment,
but it was Fresno,
so you couldn't really tell.
You know why I love this company?
Because we're family.
Each and every one of you.
Not that guy that we fired.
I never liked him.
We're family.
Now let's bow our head for prayer.
Please give this family wisdom
so that we may undermine
and destroy our competition.
- Amen.
- Amen.
You looked very thin.
Very thin.
I felt thin.
We may still have time,
we might still get by
Every time I think about it,
I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil
and the kids keep coming
No way to breathe easy,
no time to be young
But I tell myself that...
Hey.
Okay.
Somebody's in a good mood.
Think I may have turned a corner
with Marge last night.
Marge. Yep. Boring.
You know Marge is special to me.
Special. Yeah.
- I know.
- Oh.
Anything with a back-up camera bores you.
Come on, now.
Okay, Kam. Some people prefer a challenge.
Rude.
Hey.
Um...
you guys should probably
come outside and see this.
Just a sec, Iz.
No, it can't wait.
It's the lot across the street.
Bob's Palace of Toys?
There's no way they let Bob
out of jail already.
It-it's worse.
Oh
Bob's gonna be so pissed.
- Is that Miller Boys?
- Yeah.
This can't be happening.
My father started this shop
back in '88.
I mean, Charlie Senior built this shop
on-on the simple principles
of-of loyalty, community and hard work.
Those little shits operate
with corporate greed.
You will never meet a Miller
in Miller Boys.
- We are O'Malley's.
- Mm-hmm.
I am Charlie O'Malley.
Period.
You know I was raised
on these garage floors?
Playing with-with wrenches
instead of Barbies.
They want to come here
and try and steal business from us?
In our own community? Good luck.
We have them.
Who?
Our customers.
- Right.
- Mm-hmm.
What does Miller Boys have
that we don't, really?
- Nothing.
- Thank you.
Apart from being
a nationally recognizable brand.
And they get all the parts cheaper,
they have wholesale stock
and relationships with the dealers,
and they pretty much
control the market, so...
Mm.
Damn, Wikipedia.
I did have an idea.
If we're taking suggestions.
I mean, if it's anything better
than a prayer, I'm in 'cause...
Better than a prayer.
Damn, Izzy.
Two hundred thousand followers?
Okay, it's not that big of a deal.
Wait, how do you add me?
I don't know.
But it's getting a lot of love.
People are really liking it.
Okay?
I mean, I was meaning
to chat with you about,
you know, the front lobby
and adding a few official nail bays.
I mean, I was thinking, like,
this place is literally a spa for cars.
So it makes sense...
You guys pamper the cars,
and I would pamper the customers.
Like Mrs. Novak, who otherwise
wouldn't have had the time.
I mean, she was so excited.
She was like,
"I never could've done this."
I know.
- Really happy, actually.
- Iz?
I'm not worried.
- Okay.
- Do I look worried?
- 'Cause I'm not.
- Mm.
I'm really, really not worried.
Definitely worried.
I really needed that.
Hey, so I'm scouting
this new location in Oakland.
I was gonna drop by Jordan's place
and maybe get a couple drinks.
You want to meet him?
Hello?
- Hey.
- What do you think about Oakland?
Um...
Oh, shit, I got to take this.
You know, um, Oakland's
not really my scene.
It's just...
- But have so much fun.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay. See ya.
Bye.
I'll be right with you. One second.
Okay, wait, but my appointment's
still at 3:30, right?
Please, if you have an appointment,
then you're all good.
And if not, then there's a wait list,
and I'll get to it as soon as...
Oh, no, that's okay. She can go first.
I don't know why she said that.
I'm just gonna...
- I'm gonna get some air.
- Okay.
Oh, shit. Sorry.
No, thank you.
That's much better.
- Come on in. Hey.
- Okay.
- How you doing, man?
- Why are you alone?
- What happened to Lemon-lime?
- Lola.
And, uh, I don't know.
She's, like, off automating the country.
"She's off
automating the country."
I don't know what that means.
- And can I just be honest with you?
- Mm.
What is this non-relationship,
situations hip thing you've got going on?
I'm super busy right now, you know?
And hey, man, we're having fun,
so go water your plants.
- Okay.
- Get out of my business.
Oh, my plants!
Anyway...
I-I got to tell you about this girl
I've been talking to on the Bronco forum.
Ooh, man.
Look, I get it.
I have no room to judge. I...
The amount of men I've met,
I didn't see their faces,
I didn't know their names...
They might as well have been
in the witness protection program.
All right, but what do I do?
Ask for her number? Text her?
No, you should send her a smoke signal.
Yes, you should ask her out.
- I'm not doing that.
- Ugh.
I got to go check out this new location.
You want to come with?
Yeah, well, I scheduled a mani bec...
I mean, just look at these hands.
But I'm going at 3:30, so we can get
food after if you want to come.
All right, man.
- Catch you later.
- I'll see you soon. Ciao, ciao.
- That the guy from the other night?
- Oh, no.
It's this other guy I have in rotation.
Also hot.
You know, Char, uh, when was
the last time you went on a date?
Like, a real date.
'Cause I feel like a lot of stuff has
changed since then, you know, like...
Like, you probably don't know
about the dirty fireman.
No, she has no idea
about the dirty fireman.
Oh, she doesn't know.
Charlie, it's when the guy takes you,
throws you over your shoulder.
It's already sexy, right?
But then he grabs a hose.
Could be any hose. Could be, like...
We have a hose in here?
- Oh, my God, stop.
- I can show you.
- I can show you.
- Stop, stop, stop.
Okay. Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop.
- You don't want to know about it?
- Mm...
- Did you get it?
- Yeah, our Wi-Fi's just shit.
- Is that my phone?
- Yeah.
I'm just finishing making you
a Tinder profile.
- Oh, my God.
- I just need your favorite color.
- Don't have to use it.
- Guys, when have I ever
been concerned about dating?
Literally never. That's the exact problem.
You already practically fell in love
with somebody online anyway.
It's just like that.
It's a little different. It's a little...
It's a good way to get back on the horse.
Hell yeah. Say that again.
You're nasty.
Is that your cyber boyfriend?
So imagine you could... you could see him.
- Wow.
- With your eyes.
- Incredible.
- Reach out and... and touch him.
Stop it. Do that again.
- You like that? Okay.
- Yeah, I like that.
Wh-What-What is going on?
Charlie, nothing exciting is
ever gonna happen to you
if you just hide out in your dad's garage
for the rest of your life.
You're joking, right?
No.
Guys...
I'm fine.
I'm happy, even.
You know,
Marge is a pretty great date.
Nah. No.
- Marge is a great date.
- Oh, God, Marge again. I swear.
She is.
She's honestly a dream date for me.
You know, Charlie, I'm...
I'm-a hold your hand when I say this.
Marge doesn't count.
She doesn't count.
You know who does count?
This guy... who's real, by the way.
An actual boyfriend of mine sometimes.
He has a connection to a luxury car event,
and he says he might be able
to get us a booth.
Oh, my God.
- People with cars.
- Ooh.
People with cars and money.
Oh, my God.
Money that we can convince them
to give to us.
- Mm.
- And maybe there's a single guy there.
Sounds great, you guys.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- Why wouldn't I be?
Wait, we didn't think you'd say yes.
We had, like, a whole thing.
Drop that speech.
We just got to show up and show off our...
assets.
Huh?
Like... like your tire rotation skills.
Wow.
I have my next appointment.
I got to go.
- Hmm?
- It's gonna be great.
- Great opportunity.
- Really fun.
- See the color?
- That one right there?
Yeah, exactly.
I would change this oil.
And then it goes right back in.
Okay. Thanks so much
for showing me everything.
My, uh, dad told me
that I can't borrow the car
- until I can do it all on my own, so...
- Anytime.
Uh, you do know I do all of this
for your dad, right?
What?
Don't tell him I told you that.
- Thanks, Charlie.
- Yeah, no problem, Lucy.
Quite the place you got here.
It's, like, part nail salon,
part shop, part school?
Yeah. Yeah.
- You could say that.
- Mm.
How can I help you?
I would shake, but...
Oh, it's all right.
I'm Beau.
So... this is your place?
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Just... keeping the dream alive, anyway.
I'm Charlotte.
Yeah, everyone calls me Charlie.
Well...
it's nice to meet you, Charlie.
Charlie.
- Get his number.
- Um...
So, Beau, what can I do you for?
Oh, my God.
Well, would you believe me if I said
it had something to do with a manicure?
Oh.
Uh, yeah, right through those doors.
My friend, he's the one
getting a manicure.
Me, personally, I'm much more comfortable
on this side of the shop.
Mm.
That suspension's in rough shape, huh?
Ball joints are shot to shit.
Somebody rode that poor girl
into the ground.
You okay?
Drop something?
So, be honest, whose idea was the salon?
I mean, I heard of getting a paint job,
but that's a first.
Uh, Izzy's.
Something she was doing when it was quiet,
which it seems to be
more and more these days.
Hmm.
I don't know if you saw, but Miller Boys
is opening up a location...
- Oh, Miller Boys? Oh.
- Right across the street.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Just didn't see that there.
Miller Boys, huh?
Wow. That's...
That's Miller Boys.
It's, uh, Market Street, isn't it?
Yeah.
Wow.
What an unfortunate coincidence.
Uh, coincidence?
- No. I don't think so.
- No?
A place like that opens up
across the street
from a small business like us,
it's definitely personal.
I can see why you may think that.
So, um, Beau...
Charlie.
What exactly do you do?
Are you still a gear head or...?
Yeah. Yeah, I love... love the cars.
Oh, uh...
In my spare time.
It's my jam. Jam on toast.
Yeah, it's, uh...
Jordan, there you are, man.
Hey, Beau.
You, uh, ready to... ready to boogie?
You know, I don't think I am.
Uh, do these look dry to you?
- Mm-mm. They're not dry.
- They don't look dry to me.
- A couple minutes, for sure.
- I should stay longer. Yeah.
- You sure?
- Ask for his number.
'Cause remember you said
you had to, um, water your plants?
We do not need
to water my plants.
They're on an automated system.
But we do have to go and see that...
- Location.
- No, apartment.
- Apartment.
- Apartment.
He meant new apartment,
because I just moved into town.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
You know where to come
if you ever have car trouble.
I do know where to do that.
Well, we have to be on our merry way,
but it was a pleasure
to meet you and know you.
Uh, shake the hand.
All right, shall we?
Okey do key.
Well, um, you know,
we're-we're here for all your needs.
Your automobile needs, of course.
- You know what I'm talking about. Right.
- Right.
- Your wren... Uh, I return to you...
- Oh, right.
Your wrench, lady of the garage.
Thanks. I need that.
Catch you guys later.
Don't, please.
- "I'm here for all your needs."
- Don't.
I'm speechless.
The way he bowed?
- "I don't care about a little grease."
- I'm gonna scream,
- I'm so mortified.
- Come on. He's the one.
- Let's go. Let's go after him. Come on.
- We didn't even get his number.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Boo? Boo!
No, boo!
So?
"So," what?
Someone's in love.
- Stop singing.
- Come on, you like her.
- It's so obvious.
- I-I don't like her.
Yeah, you do. You like her.
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.
I know you better than that. Come on.
- You could feel it in there, couldn't you?
- There was nothing going on.
Beau, okay. There was nothing going on?
- Nothing happening, man. I was...
- What are we doing?
Why are you shopping for records
all of a sudden?
Aren't we gonna look for your new place?
No, it's, uh... it's, uh... it's close.
Do you want this?
I already have two of them,
and you know that.
And you're distracting me.
What's going on here?
I'm not distracting you. We're just...
We're so close. It's-it's, like, walkable.
How close?
Close. It's...
- Just be chill, okay? But, uh...
- Right.
Kind of already there.
- The Miller Boys.
- Shh!
Oh.
- Come on.
- Yes, right.
Still working on Diane.
And mark my words,
she'll be my first convert.
Maybe you'll be my second.
Hey, Marge could be my third.
Get your hands off my car.
You ever think about quitting your job
and just doing it?
Every damn day.
But what about your idea?
Uh, Revival Rides, right?
What keeps you from making it happen?
Sometimes I wish
quitting was an option.
It's probably TMI, but I took over
our family business a few years ago,
and now I feel a responsibility
to keep it running.
But I'm not sure I can keep it going,
and even worse,
I'm not really sure that I want to.
Hmm. Sounds like Diane and Marge
aren't the only ones
who need a little TLC, huh?
And, you know, if Mr. Miller doesn't want
to do this stuff internally with me,
then, you know,
maybe I just go out on my own.
Right?
- Hello? I'm talking to you.
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, I totally agree.
I just... I can't believe
Miller didn't go forward
with the automated lines we offered.
Yeah, I'm not talking about your work.
I'm talking about my future.
When are companies gonna realize
that cutting out
the complexity of human error
would be better for everyone?
Oh.
Wow. I, uh...
Oh, my God, I...
I don't think I can do this anymore.
What are you talking about?
W-We're having... we're having fun, right?
I mean, you're having fun,
and I'm having fun and...
Having a lot of fun,
but, I mean, it's, like...
- What?
- Think I need something more.
Okay, but you know that I don't...
I don't do more.
Right, I get it.
- And it's cool.
- Okay.
Well, then just...
let me know if you change your mind.
I literally can't hear
my own thoughts.
I'm trying to keep a steady hand.
You've got to be kidding me.
We did know that was coming.
It's just different seeing it all...
Oh, is that a hot dog stand?
No. No, no.
They're not getting us on hot dogs.
Anybody can get hot dogs.
Yeah, I can go anywhere for those.
It's stupid.
- What's up?
- Beau, Beau.
These prices, they don't make no sense.
Come on, guys. You know the drill, right?
Find the lowest price in town,
and then you go...
- Lower.
- Lower. Thank you.
You get 'em hooked,
then when O'Malley's is gone,
you-you jack it back up.
Someone took an economics class, huh?
He's been watching The Wire again.
Uh, that place is all chicks, right?
It's a mom-and-mom shop.
Maybe when we close 'em out,
hire 'em over here.
- What you say?
- Guys, remember,
you're not just mechanics.
You're Miller Boys.
And Miller Boys get
a ten percent commission
on all sales first week.
- Woo-hoo!
- You like money, right?
- Yeah.
- So smile.
And sell.
Put it in.
One, two, three.
Family.
Come on, that's it.
You're bulletproof tigers.
- Family?
- A family. That's right.
Go get it done. You own the universe.
You good?
- Great.
- If you don't... I just...
Sweep and mop another day.
You guys see George Sheffler's Taurus
across the street?
I've been working on that car for years.
Yeah, but he's gross
and his car is gross, so...
- I have an idea.
- It's kind of...
Why don't we get a drink?
- I like that idea.
- Yes.
I like that idea.
I'm in.
You had me at Castro.
- Oh, I had you at Castro?
- You did.
Come on. Shots on me. Let's get it, baby.
- Hello.
- Hi there.
- How are you?
- What'll you have?
Um, what do you want?
- Beer.
- Something straight.
- I will have a margarita, please.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you so much.
Dude, already?
What? He's hot. Look at him.
Look at his hair.
- He's giving her the ick.
- Mm.
But, you know, it's not...
What are you looking at?
Be right back.
Sorry.
Yeah. Thanks for playing.
Can I get next?
Okay.
Yes, you ca... you can.
- Yeah, you want to be next?
- She's not doing anything.
From the nail salon, right?
Ah, wrench thief.
Izzy, this was such a good idea.
You and Jordan rock.
You know, technically,
you're on my side of the bay, right?
We're gonna do this?
Unless you're scared
you're gonna lose again.
You want to make it interesting?
What are you thinking?
Mm, drink every time
the other pots a ball?
Let's go.
- First dibs.
- If she doesn't want him...
You might want to stand back.
- Coming in hot.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Cheers.
- Hey, what did I miss?
- She...
Um, I think your friend was about
to get his ass kicked.
Oh.
Ten bucks on Beau.
Twenty she beats him in like two minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
- Thirty that they have beautiful babies.
- Oh.
- I mean, no pressure, but, you know...
- I can handle it.
Oh.
Yeah?
Well, she looks like
she's out of her shell.
They're having a good time.
Finally some competition.
How's that look to you? Good?
Yeah, looks good.
Goddamn.
Drink again, please.
All right, that was pretty impressive.
Goddamn, where-where you learn
to play like this?
My dad used to work late.
I had to find ways to entertain myself.
Full of surprises,
Charlie O'Malley.
I'm-a get another round.
Vodka soda, right?
Uh, actually, it's just soda.
Just soda?
- No vodka?
- Mm-hmm.
You played me.
That's very naughty.
I want a rematch.
Check it out, Beyonc
Kiss him.
Well, Sasha, she been
talkin' fierce again
Saying women runnin',
runnin' the world...
Izzy.
We have to go.
Uh, we have a... we have a thing.
Babe, what thing?
Th-That thing? Right?
- Oh, all y'all have a thing?
- Charlie.
Mm. Yeah.
- You always do this thing.
- Super important.
- Super important.
- Sorry to do this.
A super important, really big thing?
Very big thing.
- Right.
- Yeah.
- Really get going.
- Got to get going.
Well...
enjoy your thing.
But this ain't over.
See you around.
Brad, was it?
Well, well, Bradley.
You owe me 20 bucks.
I mean,
you're so shy and I'm lovin' your tie
You're, like, slicker than the guy
with the thing on his eye, oh
Yes, I did, yes, I did
Somebody please tell 'em
who the "F" I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up,
back coupes up and chuck the deuce up
Boy, you got my heartbeat
runnin' away
Beatin' like a drum
and it's comin' your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom,
boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?
He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom,
badoom, boom, bass
Yeah, that's that super bass
Boom, boom, boom
Shit.
That one doesn't count.
Mr. Miller, sir.
Right.
Shit.
This thing is bent. Get me another one.
What can I do for you, Beau?
Thanks for seeing me, sir.
Always got time for family.
Right.
I was actually hoping
to discuss something with you.
Sure. Go ahead.
Right.
You know, it's, uh, kind of top secret.
- Oh, oh. Okay.
- All right.
- Okay. Go ahead.
- Oh.
Well, sir, it's, you know, private matter.
Oh, you have an STD.
Don't worry. Happens to everyone.
No, no, I don't have an STD.
Oh, thank God,
'cause those are really, really painful.
You know, and...
it's awkward, 'cause if you get one,
you have to tell everyone
you've had sex with,
even if they're an investor's wife.
Ooh, that's kind of awkward.
Um, so I was actually talking
about the future of this company.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
EV.
- EV?
- Uh-huh.
Is that the name of the new receptionist?
'Cause she is a looker,
but I don't know if she's the future...
EV stands for "electric vehicles."
Oh. Y-Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
- I got you, didn't I?
- You did.
I was like, "Oh..."
Yeah, good. A zinger.
- So, uh, I've been running the numbers.
- Mm-hmm.
Classic cars are having a major revival.
It's cool to drive something old now.
But what if we took those cars
into the 21st century?
For our customers,
it would mean electric engines.
That's less output, higher income.
What do you think?
It could mean corporate tax rebates.
- Yeah.
- And government subsidies.
Boom. Brand-new revenue stream for us.
It's a win-win.
How about this?
Let us run the financials.
Meaning you run the financials.
And after you're done conquering Oakland,
we'll develop a proper plan.
You develop the proper plan.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?
Just leave it in my hands.
- Sounds like a deal, sir.
- I think we got a deal.
All right.
- Good to keep the family happy. Right?
- Yes, sir.
'Cause I wanna make it so badly
I'm a million dollar baby...
Hey, man.
Hey, Beau.
Oh! Where my leder-hos at?
I mean, is it really necessary
we got to wear this shit?
What? Are you guys kidding me?
You look great. Come on.
Give me a little twirl.
Let me see some.
Huh?
Remember why we're here, all right?
More clients you sign,
more commission you get, right?
So I want my leder-bros to leder-close.
- Good?
- All-all right.
Miller Boys on three, "MB."
One, two, three.
MB!
Get to it, baby.
Thanks.
Good morning, Mr. Miller.
Yes, sir. We're all set up.
It's looking good.
Yeah, they are in their lederhosen.
It was a fantastic idea, sir.
Yeah.
Fingers crossed.
I have to go see
that Mercedes SLR McLaren.
- Can I please, really quickly?
- Yeah.
- Thank you so much.
- For sure. Take pictures.
It's all good.
Go.
Hmm.
I could clean up good for you
I know right from wrong
'Cause I wanna make it so badly
I'm a million dollar baby
Don't at me...
Well, well, well.
Fancy seeing you here.
Hi, Beau.
Hey, Charlie.
You see the Bugatti?
Yeah. Centodieci.
It's one of ten in the world?
- Come on.
- Can't believe it.
It's not fair.
I keep feeling like I'm gonna fall over
and break something
- and have to pay for it here.
- Oh. Don't do that.
I, uh... I much prefer wheels to... heels.
See, 'cause that rhymes.
- Hey, boss!
- I-I guessed it.
Boss.
Hey, boss.
Um, do you know those guys?
Who?
The men in lederhosen staring at you.
Uh... no.
No, I don't know those lederhosen guys.
Uh, Beau, I-I need your help.
- There's some people you should meet.
- Probably saw my name.
You're a Miller Boy.
I was gonna tell you.
So, what, you're here to spy on me?
Is that... is that what you were doing
at my shop the other day?
- What?
- I bet you thought you could just
waltz in here and take over O'Malley's
because a bunch of girls wouldn't know
the first thing about fixing cars.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Am I right?
- That's not fair.
- No, you're a joke.
Think I'm a sellout? Fine.
Think I'm some big,
mean corporate guy? Fine.
But you're just sad that you and I
both know that this is America
and people choose their dollar every time.
Wasn't expecting to see you here.
He's leaving.
I'm leaving.
Why?
It's tense.
We don't...
we don't have to do this right now.
- We can do it later if you...
- Oh, we're doing it.
All right, anyone think they can change
a tire faster than me?
I can.
Come on over.
- Here you are, handsome.
- Thanks.
Everybody, gather around.
Let's see what O'Malley's can do.
Ready.
On your marks.
Get set. Go!
Now, there was a time
when you loved me so
I couldn't do wrong
Now you need to know
How you like me now?
How you like me now?
How you like me now?
We have a winner!
Whoa, 59 seconds!
That's got to be, like,
a record somewhere.
It must be.
Uh, good job.
- That was awesome, sweetheart.
- Wait, Charlie.
Can I ask?
What happened with the pool guy?
Um, he's a Miller Boy.
He's a spy?
It's fine.
He's completely insignificant to me.
Oh, sh...
Oh, my God.
- Is it that serious?
- Yes.
Oy.
I got your car all hooked up.
Yeah. No more fender benders, okay?
Take care.
Oh, God.
Can I vent to you for a minute?
This guy, he's a... a business rival,
and it feels personal,
but it's not just me versus him.
It's me versus him
and his entire corporate army.
If they're the big tree,
then you're the little ax.
But lean into what makes you different,
you know?
That's what's gonna set you apart.
- Thank you so much for doing this, Rachel.
- It's no problem, honestly.
We Vikings need to stick together.
And our audiences, they love
a David-and-Goliath tale.
- Oh.
- They'll eat it up.
- There she is.
- Oh, oh, sorry.
- Let me get changed really quick.
- No way, no way.
- Let's roll. You look perfect.
- Ready?
Perfect. Dirt, grease. You look amazing.
- You take your time.
- We'll be over here.
Um, okay. Thank you.
- Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- Take your time.
- Okay.
- All right.
I'm here with Charlie O'Malley
of the all-female Oakland institution,
O'Malley's Auto Shop.
Your father built this business
decades ago,
but you've created
a new brand strategy recently,
celebrating your all-female shop.
Was that just to stay modern
with the times?
Oh, it isn't really about being modern.
It's about an impassioned team of talented
and hardworking people.
My father built this shop to support
our family and the local community.
- That's right.
- Hi.
Um, I'm really proud that he taught me
to love and learn about cars.
For a long time,
auto shops have been a place where
customers can feel overwhelmed
or taken advantage of.
That's right.
And he set out to change that.
I think he'd be really proud
of what we've done.
What's this, lunch already?
I'm really proud of our team.
Come on, we're on the clock here. What...
Let me see that.
Against all odds, we have found a way
to point out in very clear terms
we won't be bullied
by a heartless corporation
run and operated by capitalistic men
who-who severely underestimated
what it takes to open up across the street
- from a woman-run small...
- All right.
Thank you.
- That's my girl! That was so good!
- Charlie.
- That was so good.
- No, that was amazing.
- What a good turnout.
- Thank you. I did not expect that.
- We aren't running this shop...
- That was incredible.
- You killed it.
- You crushed that.
Everyone's impressed, blown away.
We need a commercial.
- Welcome to Miller Boys.
- Hello.
- How may I help you?
- I'm Karen.
I live in this neighborhood.
I'd like to speak
to whoever's in charge here.
Um, here he comes now.
Hey. Nice to meet you. I'm Beau.
- Yes, hello.
- How can Miller Boys help you today?
You can help me to understand
why you would waltz onto this street
and try to put that sweet little shop
around the corner out of business.
Are you aware that this company employs
over 10,000 people
across these great states?
What does it matter when you're putting
regular folk out of business?
Well, I'll tell you.
Right after high school,
I never went to college,
but I got a job here at Miller Boys.
It was in the back there
in the garage, you know.
It's where I thought I'd spend
the rest of my career, under the hood.
But my boss let me pitch him
a couple ideas,
and before I knew it, I was out
of the garage and into the head office.
It still doesn't make it right.
Hey, boo. I'm out of here.
Izzy, what if this doesn't work?
I know we got all that great press,
but what if we do all of this
and nothing changes?
We're already losing money.
We can't compete with their prices.
Just got to give it time.
And trust.
Faith.
Don't stay too late.
Okay, Marge.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
Um...
What?
Okay.
I know this is against the rules,
but I thought about your offer.
No. No. Okay.
Just... Okay, um...
Hey. Hey, who...
who better to celebrate...
this with than you?
No, shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it, like, a...
This for me?
It is, yeah. Your latte.
- Hi.
- Hello.
What, did you get laid or something?
That or Marge, the large and in charge,
is back in action.
- She is.
- I knew it was about the truck.
Wanted it to be the other thing,
but that's good, too.
Still exciting.
Wait, that's not all.
No, there's more. What is that look?
What is that? No, no, no.
You're smiling. What is it?
Tell me or I'm gonna freak out.
Tell us!
Um...
Bullnose and I are going to meet.
- In person?
- Yes.
- Face-to-face?
- Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait.
Charlie, this is a really big deal.
- No, it's not a...
- Yeah.
You're going on a date.
A date, like...
It's-it's not a date.
Charlie, it's definitely a date.
It's a date.
You... Bullnose.
What else would it be?
Oh, my God, it's a date.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh...
- All good things.
What do people wear on a date?
What do I wear on a date,
or what does Kam wear on a date?
We're gonna workshop this.
My God, you look so good.
You think?
I'm talking to my plant.
You look fine, though.
Dude, whatever.
Come on, man, I'm, like, nervous.
Tried on, like, three different outfits.
I don't even know
what this girl looks like.
Gonna be honest with you.
I think this time you should be nervous.
Want to know why?
First of all, this is someone
you have something in common with.
- Common. I mean, she likes cars.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- She's passionate.
- Mm-hmm.
She seems to have her own career.
- Right.
- I mean, come on. If I could go through
the list of things
of all the other girls you dated, my God.
My guy, she's perfect.
She could be, like,
future wife material, right?
God, I haven't even seen
a photo of her yet.
Okay, this is not...
It's not about the photo.
Look, what are we looking for?
- A wrench.
- A wrench key chain.
It should be right there on the table.
You can't miss it.
Wrench, wrench, wrench, wrench.
Do you know what a wrench is?
- I googled it. I do know now.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Oh! You're still here.
- Hey.
- I'm still here.
- Hmm.
- Is she here?
Oh, yeah, she's great.
- She-she...
- Great.
- She look good?
- Mm, she looks...
- You know, yeah, she does. She...
- You know, she kind of...
She reminds me of Charlie a little bit.
- Charlie. She reminds me of...
- Charlie?
I think she might be Charlie O'Malley.
Jordan, what does that mean?
- Sorry, I'm expecting someone.
- Oh, no worries.
Is that you, Charlie O'Malley?
The one-woman crusader
against big business.
Please go away, Beau.
Come on. We're off the clock here.
You know, it's actually a coincidence.
I came to meet someone here, too.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
You remember Jordan, right?
My friend who likes to get
his nails done at your salon.
I haven't seen him here.
Hmm. Mind if I sit?
Yeah, actually, I do.
I'm expecting someone.
Beau, come on.
Is it Izzy?
You know, I was hoping to run into her.
She, uh, is quite the keyboard warrior.
Izzy has been very busy.
Yeah, I've noticed.
So, not Izzy, huh?
Kam?
Wait a minute.
Nice dress, no stains, perfume.
And a key chain.
It's not a key chain, is it?
This looks like a marker.
You're on a blind date.
It is none of your business
what I am doing or who I am doing it with.
- Butt out of my life.
- All right. Sorry.
Just wasn't aware that you'd be willing
to do something like this.
Believe it or not, there are a lot
of things you don't know about me, Beau.
There's a lot of things
you don't know about me, Charlie.
I'm sure getting to know you
would be exactly what I would expect.
And what would you expect?
A degree in place of intellect.
Preplanned lines
in place of a personality.
- Hmm.
- Hubris in place of a heart.
You're flirting with me, aren't you?
In my professional opinion,
if you were a car... totaled.
- Beyond repair.
- Is that so?
Send to the junkyard, crushed into a cube.
No spare parts to save.
That's a startling image
- you just painted on me, I got to say.
- Mm.
Okay, Beau.
We've done our little bit. We've had fun.
- That's enough.
- All right.
Sure. Enjoy your date.
- So, is he late or...
- What is your problem?
No, I-I don't got a problem. Just...
You get a text?
No. I'm sure he's driving.
So he's responsible, this guy of yours.
Very.
- Successful?
- Yes.
Good-looking?
Yeah, I'm sure he is.
You're sure he is? But...
You met him online, right?
But aren't dating sites
based entirely off of images?
If you must know,
I didn't meet him on a dating site.
I met him online on a car forum.
A car forum.
Wow.
- That's funny.
- Yeah, Beau.
A forum.
A place where people
with passion and intellect communicate.
Oh. That's right.
You might not understand
because you don't have either of those.
I'm passionate. Believe me.
Plenty passionate.
All right. I got an idea.
Why don't you have dinner with me instead?
No, I'm serious.
Why would I ever want to do that?
I don't know.
You're here, I'm here.
Just kind of feel bad
that your guy stood you up.
Oh.
You feel bad for me?
- Yeah.
- You?
- That's hilarious.
- Why is it hilarious?
It's not worth my time to explain.
- Nah, I want to know.
- I don't think you do, Beau.
- Come on, lay it on me. I can take it.
- Okay, Beau.
To feel bad, you actually
have to be able to feel.
Yeah, you're right, I'm alone right now.
I'm alone because I'm waiting
for a man with passion,
a man who's probably felt more in one day
than you have, I suppose,
in your entire life.
And when he gets here,
we are going to talk about things
that really matter to us.
Whereas you,
with-with your big executive job
and-and your money and the whole...
face thing you've got going on,
I am sure there are women all around you,
but they are just users,
and they are as empty as you are.
Guess you got me all figured out, huh?
- Hmm.
- Um, Beau, listen.
Save it.
That was, like,
a full-on existential take down.
Whatever.
Enjoy your date.
Though I got to say...
you look fantastic,
but you look like a Charlotte,
and I'm pretty sure the guy you're seeing
came to meet Charlie.
Be right there!
You blew it, didn't you?
Disaster.
Well, what did she say
when you told her it was you?
- You didn't tell her?
- What was I supposed to say, man?
What do you think
you're supposed to say to her?
- You are Bullnose.
- No.
Supposed to tell her you like her.
You're supposed to tell...
I really messed it up, man.
I messed it up.
Oh, my God, Beau. Listen to me.
You have been stuck in a job
that you don't like.
You've finally found a girl.
You're really into her.
So, what have you got to lose?
Oh, for God sakes, just take this.
Her name is Mariah.
Sing to her every morning at 7:00.
Jesus Christ.
What do you think of street tacos?
- I think I messed my stom...
- Hi. Hi, hi, hi.
Hey.
Oh, shit. What happened?
Um, nothing.
It was a terrible idea.
Wait, wait. What's wrong?
What, was he not your type?
He was old, wasn't he?
I don't know.
He never showed up.
He stood you up?
- Mm-hmm.
- What the hell?
What's his name?
Hang on, I'm gonna kill him.
I... I don't know his name.
How could I possibly
be so torn up over a person
whose name I don't even know?
I'm sorry, Char. Did...
Did he say why he bailed?
Did he have an excuse at least?
Uh, no.
No, he fully ghosted me.
That's ridiculous. He probably just died.
- Look, I'm gonna call the morgue.
- Got to be dead.
- Okay. Ugh, I'm fine.
- Yeah, maybe...
I'm fine. Let's, uh...
let's go back to work.
All right, well,
I'm almost done with the Camry.
I just got to replace the oil filter.
That...
Oh, shit.
Don't look at me. Don't look at me.
We just haven't been needing
as much stock lately.
Got it. I will go to the store
and get one.
Actually, um, I would love to. I'll go.
I really thought he was the one.
What is wrong with men?
Literally.
I'm so sorry about last night.
It's no excuse, but I was scared
you'd like the online version of me more.
So I hope you can forgive me.
The real me.
Mm.
Hey, Sam,
I'm looking for a Mann oil filter.
- Do you have any left?
- Oh, hey, Charlie.
Yeah, I think I moved those
over to aisle six.
- Oh. Thank you.
- Yeah. Good luck.
Looking for this?
- Yep.
- Hmm.
So, what you working on?
- A car.
- Mm.
Hmm.
And you didn't have any of these on hand?
Ordering error.
You know what?
Why don't you have it.
Really?
Hey, nice catch.
- Thank you.
- Mm.
Good hands.
Thank you so much.
Thanks.
I don't know what to do.
In my world, a guy ghosts you
and you ghost him back.
But I'm really pushing myself
to look at things differently.
The American dream.
It's perfect.
Your-your offer was
the highest one by far.
Mm. I like to collect
the most sought-after vehicles,
and this, they say, is the rarest, so...
it's the one I must have.
So I've fully restored the engine.
The Cleveland engine is-is known for its
impressive power output and reliability.
It's... it drives like a beast.
Drive?
I-I don't even have an American license.
This car is really meant to be driven.
Once you get a feel for it,
you're gonna love it.
It's about its value.
Hey. Hey.
Hi, Iz.
Hey, hey, hey.
I got your text. What-what's going on?
I can't get anything right.
What are you talking about?
Where is this coming from?
I got the SOS, and I didn't know
what to bring, so I just got everything.
I even thought about selling Marge
to save the shop, but...
but I couldn't.
Marge? No.
No, that's not an option.
Charle, you're just...
figuring out what you want
for the first time.
I've been going through all the numbers.
Trying everything, you guys.
Fuck numbers. We can figure out numbers.
I... We can...
We could go old-school.
- We could put an ad in the paper or...
- What?
What about the nails?
It's kind of working.
If you took a break...
I could take the front part of the lobby,
and I could probably cover the overhead.
We hardly use the break room.
Yeah.
Do something different in the garage.
Yeah, like what?
I don't know.
I think you have to figure it out.
You got to follow your heart.
What makes you happy?
Don't worry about us.
Yeah, I'll just dust off my rsum.
No, it's...
Anyplace would be lucky to have us.
You could even work across the street.
Yeah.
Change shit from the inside.
We just want you to be happy.
What will make me happy...
is the shop being
in the hands of someone
who loves it the way my dad and I did.
Are you sure?
That will make me happy.
I'll figure out what I want in time.
O'Malley's is closing.
I never told you much about it
because of our rules,
but it's a lovely repair shop,
and in a week it will be a nail salon
with an odd amount of garage space.
This place was my dad's dream.
Driving away from here is
one of the hardest things I've had to do.
I guess I just don't know what comes next.
I know it's clich,
but everything does happen for a reason.
I recently walked away from something,
and... I never should have.
But right after, I realized what
and more importantly who
I want in my life.
This is a shitty moment, no doubt,
but maybe now you can make
Revival Rides happen.
Your dream.
Either way, I'm thinking of you tonight.
I always thought I was scared
of letting my dad down,
but now I realize I was scared
of figuring me out.
The shop was a dream I inherited,
and I guess without it
I finally have to see
if I can create something of my own.
Screw it.
Charlie.
Beau.
Of course you're here.
Yeah.
My, uh, office is in this building.
And we're sitting. Okay.
What are you doing here?
I am meeting with...
someone about something.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm.
What's this "something"?
I'm just assessing my options.
- Okay.
- You know.
Geez.
Um... look, I, uh...
- I'm really sorry...
- Beau.
It's okay.
Truthfully, if it wasn't Miller Boys,
it would've been somebody else.
Look, besides, I'm...
I'm really excited to see
what else is out there for me.
Oh, yeah?
All right, so what's speaking to you?
I really love working on classic cars.
- The older the better.
- Okay.
If classic cars are your thing, then you
got to come to the Concours this weekend.
It's like Valhalla for car lovers.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Sorry, one second.
Yeah, sure.
Oh. Um...
All right, look, I know you don't want
to fraternize with the enemy,
but I'll just send you the ticket,
and then we can pretend
like we don't even know each other.
Yeah. Okay.
Maybe I'll see you this weekend.
Yeah. Maybe.
Maybe.
So that's why drinking bourbon
is a form of patriotism.
Wow.
Hmm.
There he is.
Oakland is now our top location
on the West Coast.
You have outdone yourself, my friend.
I think it's time to talk next steps.
You okay with them being here?
I know everyone out there thinks
I just hired them
so they'll agree with me,
but they have important jobs.
You do the...
- CFO.
- COO.
Mm-hmm. And I hired them.
Well, Nigella hired them, but I hired her.
Well, she was...
We started at the same time.
- It's a great hire.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- So, next steps.
Right. Of course.
I just want to say I'm really happy
we're doing this, right?
- Yeah.
- So I'm thinking we start small.
By reallocating a couple of resources,
we can really expand into that EV market.
Um, wh-when I said "next steps,"
I meant new locations in the Midwest.
- I mean...
- Sir, we had a deal.
Right? We shook hands.
Yeah. No, no, no, we still do.
We still do.
I just...
We-we should just put a pin in it
until we conquer all of North America.
I think that's fair. W-Wouldn't you agree?
- Yeah, it increases our bottom line.
- Absolutely.
Yeah.
I see.
Well, I'm glad you see that,
because it's very important
to keep our closer happy.
I, uh... I can't do this anymore.
I can't be your closer anymore.
I knew when you told me
you don't wanna go home tonight
and you tried to just shrug it off
when I asked you why
somebody hurt you, somebody hurt you
But you're here by my side
And I knew, 'cause I can recall
when I was the one in your seat
Oh.
I still got the scars,
and they occasionally bleed
'Cause somebody hurt me,
somebody hurt me
But I'm staying alive
And I can tell when you get nervous
you think being yourself
means being unworthy
And it's hard to love
with a heart that's hurting...
Hey.
Hey, you.
See anything you like yet?
You know what,
I got my eye on a couple things.
Oh.
I know a place we can go
Yeah
Lay down their weapon
You coming?
Just give me trust
and watch what'll happen
'Cause I know
You look great.
I know a place we can run...
Honestly,
any of these cars, I could happily...
This is something you get married in.
- This?
- Yeah.
Did you just ask me to marry you?
- God, is that what just happened?
- Did you just propose to me?
- I don't have a ring...
- I don't know you that well.
Mm.
You said take you on a date?
I was kidding.
- I mean...
- That was an absolute joke.
They will try to tell you
you're not free
Don't listen...
How's this?
- Okay. That's perfect.
- Good?
Can you move a little to your left?
- A little bit this way?
- Yeah, yeah, a little more.
- Bit more?
- A little more.
- Um, just three feet apart.
- Hold up, wait. I think I'll be...
- Get out of the way.
- I think I'm good over here.
I know a place we can go...
Like this?
It's beautiful. Do you, um...
do you mind if I take a photo with it?
- Yes, of course.
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
Well, will you please take the photo?
And anything can happen
- 'Cause I know
- Ooh
- I know a place we can go
- Yeah
where everyone gonna
lay down their weapon...
You got a good eye.
That's good.
Uh, well, you know, the subject
was pretty great as well.
- To be fair, the subject was...
- The subject wasn't bad, but, you know,
you still have to know when to capture it.
Right. Of course.
Where everyone gonna lay down
their weapon, lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid
of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon
Thanks for this.
Today was, um, actually kind of fun.
It was, right?
Yeah.
Want to go get something to eat?
Um, I should...
I should probably get back.
Sure.
Get home safe, huh?
Try not to miss me too much, if you can.
Right, I got it.
Gotta go
- Gotta go
- Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotta go
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotta go
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotta go
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Little too much car for you, Beau?
You know what, Charlie O'Malley?
Seems like you got me a little overheated.
Oh, my God.
Could you love this a little less, please?
- What have you done to this beauty?
- Me?
What have I done? Nothing.
She just needs to, like, cool down.
Can I give you a ride somewhere?
You know, the, uh, tow guy said
he would be here in like two hours, so...
Okay.
Up to you.
I mean, if you're offering.
Well, you didn't wake up this morning
'cause you didn't go to bed...
- What?
- Nothing.
Was this your plan all along?
I'm not that smart.
I do make a mean arrabbiata, though.
- Love that.
- Mm-hmm.
You watch a plane flying
across the clear blue sky
This is the day
your life will surely change
This is the day
- You don't know about this song.
- when things fall into place...
This is my song. All right, solo time.
Um, are you playing the harmonica?
- Yeah, it's a air harmonica.
- It's an accordion.
Absolutely an accordion.
- This ain't a harmonica?
- That's an accordion.
I've thought my entire life that
- that was a harmonica.
- Your entire life?
I have a great musical ear, and I think...
I'm saying, sounds like a harmonica.
That hold your life
together like glue
All right, miss.
Putting you to work today.
Yeah, you're quite the taskmaster,
aren't you?
You surprised to learn
I'm not all discount oil changes?
Kind of.
I am certainly surprised
you have such good taste in cars.
My, my. Charlie O'Malley.
Was that a compliment?
I believe it was.
Pot's down here.
Isn't that convenient?
I saw her in the rightest way
looking like Anne Hathaway
laughing while she hit her pen
and coughed and coughed
And then she came up...
You okay?
Yeah, um... yeah.
I just... I feel so, um...
Beautiful?
Sexy? Incredible?
Greasy?
Um...
- You're greasy. Um...
- Hey.
There's nothing wrong
with a bit of grease, right?
Where is your bathroom?
And when you get a taste,
can you tell me, what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God,
but I believe that you're my savior
My mom says that she's worried,
but I'm covered in his favor
And when we're getting dirty,
I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you
'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you
and I hate to wait so long
Charlie, everything okay?
Hey. Hey, ho, ho, ho.
Oh, shit.
Charlie. Charlie, wait.
- Hold up. Hold up, all right?
- How long?
How long, Beau?
All right.
I wanted to tell you.
I just...
I was afraid.
How long have you been playing me?
Playing you?
No.
I've known since that night
at the restaurant.
Hey, what was I supposed to say?
- The truth.
- The truth?
Truth is that Bullnose
had GreaseMnky, and...
I wanted you.
Hey.
Tell me you don't feel the same.
I don't.
I don't believe you.
Hey. Just cool it a second, all right?
Would you let me explain?
I don't want an explanation, Beau.
None of this was real.
I was such a fucking idiot.
You're not an idiot. This is real.
Working at Miller Boys was
a huge opportunity for me.
I thought it would give me
the life that I always wanted.
If I'd have known working somewhere
like that would hurt someone like you,
I-I would...
Someone like me?
No.
No. You know that's not what I meant.
- Someone like me?
- Don't do that.
Okay.
You don't get it, do you, Beau?
You know, you're exactly
what I expected you to be.
All right.
I deserve that.
But I'm not just that guy.
Yeah, I messed up.
But this is real, Charlie.
No, I...
How can I ever trust you again?
Exactly.
Come on.
Charlie.
Yeah, I'm good.
Yeah, I promise.
Wh-What are you, my mother? I'm fine.
Yeah.
Gonna take Diane on a little road trip.
She's not answering.
Radio silence.
I miss seeing your face every day.
I miss seeing your face every day.
Sorry I am late.
This new job has me busy.
- Okay.
- No offense, but it is busy.
But I'm happy to announce
that no one has been overcharged
or mansplained to since I started there.
- Mission accomplished.
- Mission accomplished.
Over there, I'm, like, the best.
They worship me.
And, um...
How...
How is he?
Beau?
Oh, he quit weeks ago.
He suddenly developed, like,
a corporate conscience.
Said he couldn't be their closer anymore.
I didn't tell you.
My bad. Sorry.
Looks like you weren't the only one
ready for some change.
Charlie?
Oh.
We lost her.
Where are you?
Charlie.
It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter.
- She says it doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter.
Bullnose, aka Beau,
was, like, your closest confidant
at one point.
Mm.
You talked every day.
You don't miss him?
- Okay, but I-I just...
- Can I just ask you one question?
What is so bad about them
being the same person?
I mean, what he did was wrong.
- We all agree?
- For sure.
- Super weird. Very wrong.
- He lied.
But maybe it was 'cause
he was afraid of losing you.
Which I get.
I really miss him.
Yeah?
Girl, what are you gonna do about it?
Um...
- I got to go, okay?
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
- Yes. Yes. Please.
- Get your man.
That's what I'm talking about.
- We did that.
- Whoa.
- Whoa, wait.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, we're doing that.
It's Beau.
I'm on a road trip,
and I haven't got my cell,
so don't bother leaving a message.
Finally.
Gott's Roadside diner.
Thank you.
Go get him.
Anyone here know how to change a tire?
I'm having some car trouble.
How about you?
Who, me?
You know, I was once told
you got to treat a car like a woman.
I haven't been so confident
in my abilities recently.
Look, I know you may not
believe me, but...
I truly feel sorry
for what we did to your shop.
I left the company, and...
I'm kind of doing my own thing.
Beau, I've been thinking a lot about...
Charlie, it's fine.
Sorry I wasn't honest with you.
I came here, um...
I came here because I...
I don't know, I, um...
I want to give this a try.
Us, for real.
How can you ever trust me again?
Hmm?
I think I understand why you lied.
I've had a really hard time
letting anyone in.
But with you, I finally felt
fully understood by another person.
- What are you doing out here, anyway?
- I don't know.
I'm actually closing a deal on something.
Check it out.
No.
A '68 Dodge Charger? You found one?
Yep.
Took some doing.
No, she needs a lot of work, but, uh...
I don't know, I was thinking maybe
you and me could fix her up together.
- Do you want to get out of here?
- Oh, yeah.
- Where are you going?
- Oh, my...
Oh, my God.
Come on.
Catch.
Well, you didn't wake up this morning
'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching...
- Ah-ah.
- Oh.
The calendar on your wall
is ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think
how much you've changed
All the money in the world
- Ready?
- Yes.
Couldn't buy back those days
You pull back the curtains
and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
across the clear blue sky
This is the day
your life will surely change
This is the day
when things fall into place...
I wish things had been easier,
but looking at how it's played out,
I can't help but feel like
someone up there was looking out for me.
So thanks, Dad, if you're listening.
I still sometimes feel
fear of the unknown,
but then I close my eyes, take a breath
and I allow this beautiful world
to open me up to all of its magic.
I can say that in the end,
if this isn't a win,
it at least feels like one.
I think you'd be proud of me.
I know I am.
So... yeah, can you pass me...
- Is this the one you're looking for?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, you're gonna have to work
harder than that.
You pull back your curtains
and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
across the clear blue sky
This is the day
your life will surely change
This is the day
when things fall into place
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day

Ooh

Ooh, ooh

You've got them all by the balls,
causing waterfalls
Stonewalls, bar brawls,

To you they crawl, body sprawled,
smoking Pall Malls
Close calls, stand tall,
doll, you make them feel so small
And they love it

Got your message.
And, yeah, you were right.
I stayed up all night trying to fix
the controller area network.
The wiring checks out,
but something's still not working.
It's like she doesn't want to be fixed.
Unlike us, this car's got
communication issues.
But after all these months,
you probably figured out
I'll go crazy before I ever
give up on her.
Your friend from across the bridge.
Or-or maybe, like an...
Yeah, it's your drive shaft.
Are you sure?
Because maybe it's more of an...
No, no, no, I-I totally get it.
I was just under there.
Um, it's a quick CV joint replacement.
Very simple.
Now you're talking to me in a language
I can't even understand,
like those other guys.
I'll just give you the keys.
Uh, it's a constant velocity joint.
It dries up over time with overuse.
I know the feeling.
What are we doing today?
Uh, we're gonna work on the drive shaft,
and then an oil change, on the house.
Oh, wow. Thank you.
Mrs. Novak, you taught me
how to fractionate decibels.
How could I ever repay you?
- Um, that's not really a thing.
- Mm.
I'm just gonna grab your keys,
and then I'm gonna leave you
in Izzy's very capable hands.
Oh, wow. Capable hands is right.
Look at those nails.
Girl, I did 'em myself.
I wish I had time to treat myself
to a manicure.
Don't look at them. They're a disaster.
You have time right now.
Oh, um... we got a bumper mount on deck.
Okay.
Oh, and the lady with the bangs
dropped her car off for a tire rotation.
Okay. Yeah.
New constant velocity joints
in under two hours.
Ta-da.
Perfect timing.
We were literally finishing.
You ladies are genius.
Filling this time with some pampering?
I never would have time
to do so otherwise.
Can't believe all these years,
and I could've been
walking out of here with these.
Hey, can I make my next appointment now?
Uh, for nails?
We don't really do that here.
Well, if you guys change your mind,
let me know. I'll be back.
Could even get me to bring in my car
as often as I'm supposed to.
Change your oil every six months.
Don't forget, olive oil on the cuticles
in three days.
Yeah.
What?
I can squeeze you in if you want.
Another happy customer.
Kam.
You have a caller.
Two minutes.
Oh, my God. Where do you find these guys?
Um, at a bar where people go.
Actually, I'll take you out
because he might have a brother.
- Izzy, a little help here, please.
- Or a sister.
Kam, I think
what Charlie's trying to say is
she wants you to stop
telling her the truth.
Oh.
My job here is done. Adios.
Clearly, Marge is my only friend.
Oh, well, Marge isn't gonna get
your sparks plugged, so...
- Mm.
- You're fired.
- I'm fired?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, so... we can sleep in?
- I'm gonna do that.
- No.
- I'm gonna sleep in.
- Mm-mm.
Okay. Love you. Bye, boss.
My God.
Marge.
She used to belong
to a former Hells Angel.
One of the toughest guys in Oakland.
My dad.
Oh, Marge, you're so close
to getting back on the road.
To be fair, he probably
wouldn't have saved up
for so many years
to buy it off of our old neighbor
if his teenaged daughter wasn't
pestering him every day to do so.
She was meant to be our project.
The final test of everything
we learned together.
Working on Marge makes me
feel close to him.
As if he's still around.
He could fix anything.
Now I'm just trying to get her
back out on the road
where she belongs.
To finish what we started.
Your dad sounds like
he was an incredible guy.
And I bet daydreaming about our road trip
keeps you going
when the rebuild starts to grind.
The thought of cruising her
through Big Sur is the only thing
getting me through
the rest of these drip rails.
You know,
I've heard so much about Marge
and still haven't got to see her.
Kind of like someone else I know.
You know our roles.
No names, no photos, just cars.
Okay, so...
what about names and photos
of just our cars?
Meet Diane.
You want to race?
She's beautiful.
This may be the first time
a guy on the Internet
has sent me a picture
I actually wanted to see.
Charlie.
You know, um, falling in love
with people on a nerdy car forum
is seen in some circles...
Not all... some, most...
As a cry for help.
Yeah, Kam, how long have you known me?
Have I ever been in love?
Nine of the most beautiful years
of my life.
And no,
not unless you count that 1966 Mustang.
People are unreliable. Cars aren't.
They are always exactly
where you left them,
and if there's a problem, you just fix it.
O'Malley, that's brutal.
I don't even know his name.
You don't know his name?
So he could be anybody?
He could be, like...
- Hey, Sammy!
- Kam! Kam!
- Hey, are you on Reddit?
- Shut... Kam, shut-shut...
- Do you know what that is?
- Shut-shut-shut... Shut up.
I know some things, okay?
Just kidding.
Like...
I know he lives in Nob Hill,
and he loves classic cars,
and he hates his corporate job,
and he wants to revolutionize
car renovation.
Why are you laughing?
Because he sounds like an 80-year-old
with a subscription to Popular Mechanics.
Are you gonna get that?
You might not have much longer.
I'm willing to take that risk.
All I'm saying is just be careful, okay,
'cause, like,
you don't know who this guy is.
Could be anybody.
I mean, he could be messing with you.
I promise to be careful.
Now, would you please shut up?
Besides, I told him I'm not ready
to meet right now.
Whatever you say...
"GreaseMnky."
Really?
You're just, like,
blocking with your whole body.
Think I won't see you?
I can see you.
Please some peace and quiet
while I try to do this.
Ridiculous.
- Get back to work.
- What? Hey, this is an establishment.
Woke in my bed
next to my best friend
Hide in the shed
fixing all your plans
Come on. Come on.
Won't hit the road
unless you know the way
Tell me to go
oh, if it feels so
But I just want you to be...
Sorry, I didn't mean
to go radio-silent last night.
I fell asleep, but I woke up dying to hear
if you finally got it working.
I still can't get over that you're trying
to put an electric engine in a Bronco.
You do deserve to get sent
to the madhouse.
I have a dream of opening a classic car
restoration shop one day, Revival Rides.
And I'll work with all kinds
of eccentric clients,
even ones as crazy as you.
Not much to report,
except the temperature sensors
are acting up again.
When they're not working right,
the whole car thinks
it's too hot or too cold to start.
I've readjusted everything one last time,
but if this doesn't work,
I'll be back at square one.
You know, my dad always said
women would make the best mechanics
because they'd have the sensitivity
to treat these beasts
like the beauties they are.
You may as well try
treating her like a lady.
Have a conversation with her.
Tell her how you feel.
Assuming you know
how to do that, of course.
I wanted to be yours
All right, look, I know we had
our rough patches, but...
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I'm just a man sitting in his car...
asking her to love him.
Come on, girl.
Ah, there you are.
If I could just get it right
All right.
I would sing it every night...
You know, it's nice having
someone I can be totally open with,
even if it means
we remain perfect strangers.
Hope you have a nice day
across the bridge.
And as you will see,
our earnings have grown by ten percent
in the last five quarters.
Uh, Nigella.
We have three new locations
going up immediately.
Sam, you're going to Orlando.
Oh. Okay.
Trev, you're managing Denver.
Denver? I'm, sorry, uh...
I don't think I can do that.
My wife, she just opened a coffee shop.
I... No, I... Um, please? I...
- We could maybe, uh, figure something out.
- Nigella, I, uh, have Pilates
- in ten minutes...
- Uh, I'll go to Denver.
- So if we could move this along.
- I can move to Denver.
Paul. Paul is managing Denver.
Oh. Okay.
I appreciate that loyalty, Patrick.
It's actually an honor, sir. Yeah.
And finally, we are sending...
Oh, oh, I want to do this one.
Closer.
You're going across the bridge.
Oakland.
Got it.
Open up the new store, get it on its feet,
pass it on to a local manager.
Bing-bang-boom.
Sir, we did receive a note.
Locations made an error.
Seems our Oakland location is directly
across the street from O'Malley's.
Ooh...
Little hand-to-hand combat.
Nothing you can't handle well.
It's a one-off mom-and-pop shop, right?
O'Malley's has old community ties.
And I'm sure they have
uncompetitive pricing.
The optics could be a problem.
Optics. Right.
You, uh, ever hear about the burger joint
across the street
from the first McDonald's?
- Neither have I.
- This is why he is the closer.
You know, when I first discovered Beau...
he was working under cars in Fresno.
But it was his marketing ideas
that closed every shop
within a three-mile radius.
It was beautiful.
Maybe caused some unemployment,
but it was Fresno,
so you couldn't really tell.
You know why I love this company?
Because we're family.
Each and every one of you.
Not that guy that we fired.
I never liked him.
We're family.
Now let's bow our head for prayer.
Please give this family wisdom
so that we may undermine
and destroy our competition.
- Amen.
- Amen.
You looked very thin.
Very thin.
I felt thin.
We may still have time,
we might still get by
Every time I think about it,
I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil
and the kids keep coming
No way to breathe easy,
no time to be young
But I tell myself that...
Hey.
Okay.
Somebody's in a good mood.
Think I may have turned a corner
with Marge last night.
Marge. Yep. Boring.
You know Marge is special to me.
Special. Yeah.
- I know.
- Oh.
Anything with a back-up camera bores you.
Come on, now.
Okay, Kam. Some people prefer a challenge.
Rude.
Hey.
Um...
you guys should probably
come outside and see this.
Just a sec, Iz.
No, it can't wait.
It's the lot across the street.
Bob's Palace of Toys?
There's no way they let Bob
out of jail already.
It-it's worse.
Oh
Bob's gonna be so pissed.
- Is that Miller Boys?
- Yeah.
This can't be happening.
My father started this shop
back in '88.
I mean, Charlie Senior built this shop
on-on the simple principles
of-of loyalty, community and hard work.
Those little shits operate
with corporate greed.
You will never meet a Miller
in Miller Boys.
- We are O'Malley's.
- Mm-hmm.
I am Charlie O'Malley.
Period.
You know I was raised
on these garage floors?
Playing with-with wrenches
instead of Barbies.
They want to come here
and try and steal business from us?
In our own community? Good luck.
We have them.
Who?
Our customers.
- Right.
- Mm-hmm.
What does Miller Boys have
that we don't, really?
- Nothing.
- Thank you.
Apart from being
a nationally recognizable brand.
And they get all the parts cheaper,
they have wholesale stock
and relationships with the dealers,
and they pretty much
control the market, so...
Mm.
Damn, Wikipedia.
I did have an idea.
If we're taking suggestions.
I mean, if it's anything better
than a prayer, I'm in 'cause...
Better than a prayer.
Damn, Izzy.
Two hundred thousand followers?
Okay, it's not that big of a deal.
Wait, how do you add me?
I don't know.
But it's getting a lot of love.
People are really liking it.
Okay?
I mean, I was meaning
to chat with you about,
you know, the front lobby
and adding a few official nail bays.
I mean, I was thinking, like,
this place is literally a spa for cars.
So it makes sense...
You guys pamper the cars,
and I would pamper the customers.
Like Mrs. Novak, who otherwise
wouldn't have had the time.
I mean, she was so excited.
She was like,
"I never could've done this."
I know.
- Really happy, actually.
- Iz?
I'm not worried.
- Okay.
- Do I look worried?
- 'Cause I'm not.
- Mm.
I'm really, really not worried.
Definitely worried.
I really needed that.
Hey, so I'm scouting
this new location in Oakland.
I was gonna drop by Jordan's place
and maybe get a couple drinks.
You want to meet him?
Hello?
- Hey.
- What do you think about Oakland?
Um...
Oh, shit, I got to take this.
You know, um, Oakland's
not really my scene.
It's just...
- But have so much fun.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay. See ya.
Bye.
I'll be right with you. One second.
Okay, wait, but my appointment's
still at 3:30, right?
Please, if you have an appointment,
then you're all good.
And if not, then there's a wait list,
and I'll get to it as soon as...
Oh, no, that's okay. She can go first.
I don't know why she said that.
I'm just gonna...
- I'm gonna get some air.
- Okay.
Oh, shit. Sorry.
No, thank you.
That's much better.
- Come on in. Hey.
- Okay.
- How you doing, man?
- Why are you alone?
- What happened to Lemon-lime?
- Lola.
And, uh, I don't know.
She's, like, off automating the country.
"She's off
automating the country."
I don't know what that means.
- And can I just be honest with you?
- Mm.
What is this non-relationship,
situations hip thing you've got going on?
I'm super busy right now, you know?
And hey, man, we're having fun,
so go water your plants.
- Okay.
- Get out of my business.
Oh, my plants!
Anyway...
I-I got to tell you about this girl
I've been talking to on the Bronco forum.
Ooh, man.
Look, I get it.
I have no room to judge. I...
The amount of men I've met,
I didn't see their faces,
I didn't know their names...
They might as well have been
in the witness protection program.
All right, but what do I do?
Ask for her number? Text her?
No, you should send her a smoke signal.
Yes, you should ask her out.
- I'm not doing that.
- Ugh.
I got to go check out this new location.
You want to come with?
Yeah, well, I scheduled a mani bec...
I mean, just look at these hands.
But I'm going at 3:30, so we can get
food after if you want to come.
All right, man.
- Catch you later.
- I'll see you soon. Ciao, ciao.
- That the guy from the other night?
- Oh, no.
It's this other guy I have in rotation.
Also hot.
You know, Char, uh, when was
the last time you went on a date?
Like, a real date.
'Cause I feel like a lot of stuff has
changed since then, you know, like...
Like, you probably don't know
about the dirty fireman.
No, she has no idea
about the dirty fireman.
Oh, she doesn't know.
Charlie, it's when the guy takes you,
throws you over your shoulder.
It's already sexy, right?
But then he grabs a hose.
Could be any hose. Could be, like...
We have a hose in here?
- Oh, my God, stop.
- I can show you.
- I can show you.
- Stop, stop, stop.
Okay. Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop.
- You don't want to know about it?
- Mm...
- Did you get it?
- Yeah, our Wi-Fi's just shit.
- Is that my phone?
- Yeah.
I'm just finishing making you
a Tinder profile.
- Oh, my God.
- I just need your favorite color.
- Don't have to use it.
- Guys, when have I ever
been concerned about dating?
Literally never. That's the exact problem.
You already practically fell in love
with somebody online anyway.
It's just like that.
It's a little different. It's a little...
It's a good way to get back on the horse.
Hell yeah. Say that again.
You're nasty.
Is that your cyber boyfriend?
So imagine you could... you could see him.
- Wow.
- With your eyes.
- Incredible.
- Reach out and... and touch him.
Stop it. Do that again.
- You like that? Okay.
- Yeah, I like that.
Wh-What-What is going on?
Charlie, nothing exciting is
ever gonna happen to you
if you just hide out in your dad's garage
for the rest of your life.
You're joking, right?
No.
Guys...
I'm fine.
I'm happy, even.
You know,
Marge is a pretty great date.
Nah. No.
- Marge is a great date.
- Oh, God, Marge again. I swear.
She is.
She's honestly a dream date for me.
You know, Charlie, I'm...
I'm-a hold your hand when I say this.
Marge doesn't count.
She doesn't count.
You know who does count?
This guy... who's real, by the way.
An actual boyfriend of mine sometimes.
He has a connection to a luxury car event,
and he says he might be able
to get us a booth.
Oh, my God.
- People with cars.
- Ooh.
People with cars and money.
Oh, my God.
Money that we can convince them
to give to us.
- Mm.
- And maybe there's a single guy there.
Sounds great, you guys.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- Why wouldn't I be?
Wait, we didn't think you'd say yes.
We had, like, a whole thing.
Drop that speech.
We just got to show up and show off our...
assets.
Huh?
Like... like your tire rotation skills.
Wow.
I have my next appointment.
I got to go.
- Hmm?
- It's gonna be great.
- Great opportunity.
- Really fun.
- See the color?
- That one right there?
Yeah, exactly.
I would change this oil.
And then it goes right back in.
Okay. Thanks so much
for showing me everything.
My, uh, dad told me
that I can't borrow the car
- until I can do it all on my own, so...
- Anytime.
Uh, you do know I do all of this
for your dad, right?
What?
Don't tell him I told you that.
- Thanks, Charlie.
- Yeah, no problem, Lucy.
Quite the place you got here.
It's, like, part nail salon,
part shop, part school?
Yeah. Yeah.
- You could say that.
- Mm.
How can I help you?
I would shake, but...
Oh, it's all right.
I'm Beau.
So... this is your place?
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Just... keeping the dream alive, anyway.
I'm Charlotte.
Yeah, everyone calls me Charlie.
Well...
it's nice to meet you, Charlie.
Charlie.
- Get his number.
- Um...
So, Beau, what can I do you for?
Oh, my God.
Well, would you believe me if I said
it had something to do with a manicure?
Oh.
Uh, yeah, right through those doors.
My friend, he's the one
getting a manicure.
Me, personally, I'm much more comfortable
on this side of the shop.
Mm.
That suspension's in rough shape, huh?
Ball joints are shot to shit.
Somebody rode that poor girl
into the ground.
You okay?
Drop something?
So, be honest, whose idea was the salon?
I mean, I heard of getting a paint job,
but that's a first.
Uh, Izzy's.
Something she was doing when it was quiet,
which it seems to be
more and more these days.
Hmm.
I don't know if you saw, but Miller Boys
is opening up a location...
- Oh, Miller Boys? Oh.
- Right across the street.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Just didn't see that there.
Miller Boys, huh?
Wow. That's...
That's Miller Boys.
It's, uh, Market Street, isn't it?
Yeah.
Wow.
What an unfortunate coincidence.
Uh, coincidence?
- No. I don't think so.
- No?
A place like that opens up
across the street
from a small business like us,
it's definitely personal.
I can see why you may think that.
So, um, Beau...
Charlie.
What exactly do you do?
Are you still a gear head or...?
Yeah. Yeah, I love... love the cars.
Oh, uh...
In my spare time.
It's my jam. Jam on toast.
Yeah, it's, uh...
Jordan, there you are, man.
Hey, Beau.
You, uh, ready to... ready to boogie?
You know, I don't think I am.
Uh, do these look dry to you?
- Mm-mm. They're not dry.
- They don't look dry to me.
- A couple minutes, for sure.
- I should stay longer. Yeah.
- You sure?
- Ask for his number.
'Cause remember you said
you had to, um, water your plants?
We do not need
to water my plants.
They're on an automated system.
But we do have to go and see that...
- Location.
- No, apartment.
- Apartment.
- Apartment.
He meant new apartment,
because I just moved into town.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
You know where to come
if you ever have car trouble.
I do know where to do that.
Well, we have to be on our merry way,
but it was a pleasure
to meet you and know you.
Uh, shake the hand.
All right, shall we?
Okey do key.
Well, um, you know,
we're-we're here for all your needs.
Your automobile needs, of course.
- You know what I'm talking about. Right.
- Right.
- Your wren... Uh, I return to you...
- Oh, right.
Your wrench, lady of the garage.
Thanks. I need that.
Catch you guys later.
Don't, please.
- "I'm here for all your needs."
- Don't.
I'm speechless.
The way he bowed?
- "I don't care about a little grease."
- I'm gonna scream,
- I'm so mortified.
- Come on. He's the one.
- Let's go. Let's go after him. Come on.
- We didn't even get his number.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Boo? Boo!
No, boo!
So?
"So," what?
Someone's in love.
- Stop singing.
- Come on, you like her.
- It's so obvious.
- I-I don't like her.
Yeah, you do. You like her.
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.
I know you better than that. Come on.
- You could feel it in there, couldn't you?
- There was nothing going on.
Beau, okay. There was nothing going on?
- Nothing happening, man. I was...
- What are we doing?
Why are you shopping for records
all of a sudden?
Aren't we gonna look for your new place?
No, it's, uh... it's, uh... it's close.
Do you want this?
I already have two of them,
and you know that.
And you're distracting me.
What's going on here?
I'm not distracting you. We're just...
We're so close. It's-it's, like, walkable.
How close?
Close. It's...
- Just be chill, okay? But, uh...
- Right.
Kind of already there.
- The Miller Boys.
- Shh!
Oh.
- Come on.
- Yes, right.
Still working on Diane.
And mark my words,
she'll be my first convert.
Maybe you'll be my second.
Hey, Marge could be my third.
Get your hands off my car.
You ever think about quitting your job
and just doing it?
Every damn day.
But what about your idea?
Uh, Revival Rides, right?
What keeps you from making it happen?
Sometimes I wish
quitting was an option.
It's probably TMI, but I took over
our family business a few years ago,
and now I feel a responsibility
to keep it running.
But I'm not sure I can keep it going,
and even worse,
I'm not really sure that I want to.
Hmm. Sounds like Diane and Marge
aren't the only ones
who need a little TLC, huh?
And, you know, if Mr. Miller doesn't want
to do this stuff internally with me,
then, you know,
maybe I just go out on my own.
Right?
- Hello? I'm talking to you.
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, I totally agree.
I just... I can't believe
Miller didn't go forward
with the automated lines we offered.
Yeah, I'm not talking about your work.
I'm talking about my future.
When are companies gonna realize
that cutting out
the complexity of human error
would be better for everyone?
Oh.
Wow. I, uh...
Oh, my God, I...
I don't think I can do this anymore.
What are you talking about?
W-We're having... we're having fun, right?
I mean, you're having fun,
and I'm having fun and...
Having a lot of fun,
but, I mean, it's, like...
- What?
- Think I need something more.
Okay, but you know that I don't...
I don't do more.
Right, I get it.
- And it's cool.
- Okay.
Well, then just...
let me know if you change your mind.
I literally can't hear
my own thoughts.
I'm trying to keep a steady hand.
You've got to be kidding me.
We did know that was coming.
It's just different seeing it all...
Oh, is that a hot dog stand?
No. No, no.
They're not getting us on hot dogs.
Anybody can get hot dogs.
Yeah, I can go anywhere for those.
It's stupid.
- What's up?
- Beau, Beau.
These prices, they don't make no sense.
Come on, guys. You know the drill, right?
Find the lowest price in town,
and then you go...
- Lower.
- Lower. Thank you.
You get 'em hooked,
then when O'Malley's is gone,
you-you jack it back up.
Someone took an economics class, huh?
He's been watching The Wire again.
Uh, that place is all chicks, right?
It's a mom-and-mom shop.
Maybe when we close 'em out,
hire 'em over here.
- What you say?
- Guys, remember,
you're not just mechanics.
You're Miller Boys.
And Miller Boys get
a ten percent commission
on all sales first week.
- Woo-hoo!
- You like money, right?
- Yeah.
- So smile.
And sell.
Put it in.
One, two, three.
Family.
Come on, that's it.
You're bulletproof tigers.
- Family?
- A family. That's right.
Go get it done. You own the universe.
You good?
- Great.
- If you don't... I just...
Sweep and mop another day.
You guys see George Sheffler's Taurus
across the street?
I've been working on that car for years.
Yeah, but he's gross
and his car is gross, so...
- I have an idea.
- It's kind of...
Why don't we get a drink?
- I like that idea.
- Yes.
I like that idea.
I'm in.
You had me at Castro.
- Oh, I had you at Castro?
- You did.
Come on. Shots on me. Let's get it, baby.
- Hello.
- Hi there.
- How are you?
- What'll you have?
Um, what do you want?
- Beer.
- Something straight.
- I will have a margarita, please.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you so much.
Dude, already?
What? He's hot. Look at him.
Look at his hair.
- He's giving her the ick.
- Mm.
But, you know, it's not...
What are you looking at?
Be right back.
Sorry.
Yeah. Thanks for playing.
Can I get next?
Okay.
Yes, you ca... you can.
- Yeah, you want to be next?
- She's not doing anything.
From the nail salon, right?
Ah, wrench thief.
Izzy, this was such a good idea.
You and Jordan rock.
You know, technically,
you're on my side of the bay, right?
We're gonna do this?
Unless you're scared
you're gonna lose again.
You want to make it interesting?
What are you thinking?
Mm, drink every time
the other pots a ball?
Let's go.
- First dibs.
- If she doesn't want him...
You might want to stand back.
- Coming in hot.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Cheers.
- Hey, what did I miss?
- She...
Um, I think your friend was about
to get his ass kicked.
Oh.
Ten bucks on Beau.
Twenty she beats him in like two minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
- Thirty that they have beautiful babies.
- Oh.
- I mean, no pressure, but, you know...
- I can handle it.
Oh.
Yeah?
Well, she looks like
she's out of her shell.
They're having a good time.
Finally some competition.
How's that look to you? Good?
Yeah, looks good.
Goddamn.
Drink again, please.
All right, that was pretty impressive.
Goddamn, where-where you learn
to play like this?
My dad used to work late.
I had to find ways to entertain myself.
Full of surprises,
Charlie O'Malley.
I'm-a get another round.
Vodka soda, right?
Uh, actually, it's just soda.
Just soda?
- No vodka?
- Mm-hmm.
You played me.
That's very naughty.
I want a rematch.
Check it out, Beyonc
Kiss him.
Well, Sasha, she been
talkin' fierce again
Saying women runnin',
runnin' the world...
Izzy.
We have to go.
Uh, we have a... we have a thing.
Babe, what thing?
Th-That thing? Right?
- Oh, all y'all have a thing?
- Charlie.
Mm. Yeah.
- You always do this thing.
- Super important.
- Super important.
- Sorry to do this.
A super important, really big thing?
Very big thing.
- Right.
- Yeah.
- Really get going.
- Got to get going.
Well...
enjoy your thing.
But this ain't over.
See you around.
Brad, was it?
Well, well, Bradley.
You owe me 20 bucks.
I mean,
you're so shy and I'm lovin' your tie
You're, like, slicker than the guy
with the thing on his eye, oh
Yes, I did, yes, I did
Somebody please tell 'em
who the "F" I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up,
back coupes up and chuck the deuce up
Boy, you got my heartbeat
runnin' away
Beatin' like a drum
and it's comin' your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom,
boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?
He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom,
badoom, boom, bass
Yeah, that's that super bass
Boom, boom, boom
Shit.
That one doesn't count.
Mr. Miller, sir.
Right.
Shit.
This thing is bent. Get me another one.
What can I do for you, Beau?
Thanks for seeing me, sir.
Always got time for family.
Right.
I was actually hoping
to discuss something with you.
Sure. Go ahead.
Right.
You know, it's, uh, kind of top secret.
- Oh, oh. Okay.
- All right.
- Okay. Go ahead.
- Oh.
Well, sir, it's, you know, private matter.
Oh, you have an STD.
Don't worry. Happens to everyone.
No, no, I don't have an STD.
Oh, thank God,
'cause those are really, really painful.
You know, and...
it's awkward, 'cause if you get one,
you have to tell everyone
you've had sex with,
even if they're an investor's wife.
Ooh, that's kind of awkward.
Um, so I was actually talking
about the future of this company.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
EV.
- EV?
- Uh-huh.
Is that the name of the new receptionist?
'Cause she is a looker,
but I don't know if she's the future...
EV stands for "electric vehicles."
Oh. Y-Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
- I got you, didn't I?
- You did.
I was like, "Oh..."
Yeah, good. A zinger.
- So, uh, I've been running the numbers.
- Mm-hmm.
Classic cars are having a major revival.
It's cool to drive something old now.
But what if we took those cars
into the 21st century?
For our customers,
it would mean electric engines.
That's less output, higher income.
What do you think?
It could mean corporate tax rebates.
- Yeah.
- And government subsidies.
Boom. Brand-new revenue stream for us.
It's a win-win.
How about this?
Let us run the financials.
Meaning you run the financials.
And after you're done conquering Oakland,
we'll develop a proper plan.
You develop the proper plan.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?
Just leave it in my hands.
- Sounds like a deal, sir.
- I think we got a deal.
All right.
- Good to keep the family happy. Right?
- Yes, sir.
'Cause I wanna make it so badly
I'm a million dollar baby...
Hey, man.
Hey, Beau.
Oh! Where my leder-hos at?
I mean, is it really necessary
we got to wear this shit?
What? Are you guys kidding me?
You look great. Come on.
Give me a little twirl.
Let me see some.
Huh?
Remember why we're here, all right?
More clients you sign,
more commission you get, right?
So I want my leder-bros to leder-close.
- Good?
- All-all right.
Miller Boys on three, "MB."
One, two, three.
MB!
Get to it, baby.
Thanks.
Good morning, Mr. Miller.
Yes, sir. We're all set up.
It's looking good.
Yeah, they are in their lederhosen.
It was a fantastic idea, sir.
Yeah.
Fingers crossed.
I have to go see
that Mercedes SLR McLaren.
- Can I please, really quickly?
- Yeah.
- Thank you so much.
- For sure. Take pictures.
It's all good.
Go.
Hmm.
I could clean up good for you
I know right from wrong
'Cause I wanna make it so badly
I'm a million dollar baby
Don't at me...
Well, well, well.
Fancy seeing you here.
Hi, Beau.
Hey, Charlie.
You see the Bugatti?
Yeah. Centodieci.
It's one of ten in the world?
- Come on.
- Can't believe it.
It's not fair.
I keep feeling like I'm gonna fall over
and break something
- and have to pay for it here.
- Oh. Don't do that.
I, uh... I much prefer wheels to... heels.
See, 'cause that rhymes.
- Hey, boss!
- I-I guessed it.
Boss.
Hey, boss.
Um, do you know those guys?
Who?
The men in lederhosen staring at you.
Uh... no.
No, I don't know those lederhosen guys.
Uh, Beau, I-I need your help.
- There's some people you should meet.
- Probably saw my name.
You're a Miller Boy.
I was gonna tell you.
So, what, you're here to spy on me?
Is that... is that what you were doing
at my shop the other day?
- What?
- I bet you thought you could just
waltz in here and take over O'Malley's
because a bunch of girls wouldn't know
the first thing about fixing cars.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Am I right?
- That's not fair.
- No, you're a joke.
Think I'm a sellout? Fine.
Think I'm some big,
mean corporate guy? Fine.
But you're just sad that you and I
both know that this is America
and people choose their dollar every time.
Wasn't expecting to see you here.
He's leaving.
I'm leaving.
Why?
It's tense.
We don't...
we don't have to do this right now.
- We can do it later if you...
- Oh, we're doing it.
All right, anyone think they can change
a tire faster than me?
I can.
Come on over.
- Here you are, handsome.
- Thanks.
Everybody, gather around.
Let's see what O'Malley's can do.
Ready.
On your marks.
Get set. Go!
Now, there was a time
when you loved me so
I couldn't do wrong
Now you need to know
How you like me now?
How you like me now?
How you like me now?
We have a winner!
Whoa, 59 seconds!
That's got to be, like,
a record somewhere.
It must be.
Uh, good job.
- That was awesome, sweetheart.
- Wait, Charlie.
Can I ask?
What happened with the pool guy?
Um, he's a Miller Boy.
He's a spy?
It's fine.
He's completely insignificant to me.
Oh, sh...
Oh, my God.
- Is it that serious?
- Yes.
Oy.
I got your car all hooked up.
Yeah. No more fender benders, okay?
Take care.
Oh, God.
Can I vent to you for a minute?
This guy, he's a... a business rival,
and it feels personal,
but it's not just me versus him.
It's me versus him
and his entire corporate army.
If they're the big tree,
then you're the little ax.
But lean into what makes you different,
you know?
That's what's gonna set you apart.
- Thank you so much for doing this, Rachel.
- It's no problem, honestly.
We Vikings need to stick together.
And our audiences, they love
a David-and-Goliath tale.
- Oh.
- They'll eat it up.
- There she is.
- Oh, oh, sorry.
- Let me get changed really quick.
- No way, no way.
- Let's roll. You look perfect.
- Ready?
Perfect. Dirt, grease. You look amazing.
- You take your time.
- We'll be over here.
Um, okay. Thank you.
- Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- Take your time.
- Okay.
- All right.
I'm here with Charlie O'Malley
of the all-female Oakland institution,
O'Malley's Auto Shop.
Your father built this business
decades ago,
but you've created
a new brand strategy recently,
celebrating your all-female shop.
Was that just to stay modern
with the times?
Oh, it isn't really about being modern.
It's about an impassioned team of talented
and hardworking people.
My father built this shop to support
our family and the local community.
- That's right.
- Hi.
Um, I'm really proud that he taught me
to love and learn about cars.
For a long time,
auto shops have been a place where
customers can feel overwhelmed
or taken advantage of.
That's right.
And he set out to change that.
I think he'd be really proud
of what we've done.
What's this, lunch already?
I'm really proud of our team.
Come on, we're on the clock here. What...
Let me see that.
Against all odds, we have found a way
to point out in very clear terms
we won't be bullied
by a heartless corporation
run and operated by capitalistic men
who-who severely underestimated
what it takes to open up across the street
- from a woman-run small...
- All right.
Thank you.
- That's my girl! That was so good!
- Charlie.
- That was so good.
- No, that was amazing.
- What a good turnout.
- Thank you. I did not expect that.
- We aren't running this shop...
- That was incredible.
- You killed it.
- You crushed that.
Everyone's impressed, blown away.
We need a commercial.
- Welcome to Miller Boys.
- Hello.
- How may I help you?
- I'm Karen.
I live in this neighborhood.
I'd like to speak
to whoever's in charge here.
Um, here he comes now.
Hey. Nice to meet you. I'm Beau.
- Yes, hello.
- How can Miller Boys help you today?
You can help me to understand
why you would waltz onto this street
and try to put that sweet little shop
around the corner out of business.
Are you aware that this company employs
over 10,000 people
across these great states?
What does it matter when you're putting
regular folk out of business?
Well, I'll tell you.
Right after high school,
I never went to college,
but I got a job here at Miller Boys.
It was in the back there
in the garage, you know.
It's where I thought I'd spend
the rest of my career, under the hood.
But my boss let me pitch him
a couple ideas,
and before I knew it, I was out
of the garage and into the head office.
It still doesn't make it right.
Hey, boo. I'm out of here.
Izzy, what if this doesn't work?
I know we got all that great press,
but what if we do all of this
and nothing changes?
We're already losing money.
We can't compete with their prices.
Just got to give it time.
And trust.
Faith.
Don't stay too late.
Okay, Marge.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
Um...
What?
Okay.
I know this is against the rules,
but I thought about your offer.
No. No. Okay.
Just... Okay, um...
Hey. Hey, who...
who better to celebrate...
this with than you?
No, shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it, like, a...
This for me?
It is, yeah. Your latte.
- Hi.
- Hello.
What, did you get laid or something?
That or Marge, the large and in charge,
is back in action.
- She is.
- I knew it was about the truck.
Wanted it to be the other thing,
but that's good, too.
Still exciting.
Wait, that's not all.
No, there's more. What is that look?
What is that? No, no, no.
You're smiling. What is it?
Tell me or I'm gonna freak out.
Tell us!
Um...
Bullnose and I are going to meet.
- In person?
- Yes.
- Face-to-face?
- Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait.
Charlie, this is a really big deal.
- No, it's not a...
- Yeah.
You're going on a date.
A date, like...
It's-it's not a date.
Charlie, it's definitely a date.
It's a date.
You... Bullnose.
What else would it be?
Oh, my God, it's a date.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh...
- All good things.
What do people wear on a date?
What do I wear on a date,
or what does Kam wear on a date?
We're gonna workshop this.
My God, you look so good.
You think?
I'm talking to my plant.
You look fine, though.
Dude, whatever.
Come on, man, I'm, like, nervous.
Tried on, like, three different outfits.
I don't even know
what this girl looks like.
Gonna be honest with you.
I think this time you should be nervous.
Want to know why?
First of all, this is someone
you have something in common with.
- Common. I mean, she likes cars.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- She's passionate.
- Mm-hmm.
She seems to have her own career.
- Right.
- I mean, come on. If I could go through
the list of things
of all the other girls you dated, my God.
My guy, she's perfect.
She could be, like,
future wife material, right?
God, I haven't even seen
a photo of her yet.
Okay, this is not...
It's not about the photo.
Look, what are we looking for?
- A wrench.
- A wrench key chain.
It should be right there on the table.
You can't miss it.
Wrench, wrench, wrench, wrench.
Do you know what a wrench is?
- I googled it. I do know now.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Oh! You're still here.
- Hey.
- I'm still here.
- Hmm.
- Is she here?
Oh, yeah, she's great.
- She-she...
- Great.
- She look good?
- Mm, she looks...
- You know, yeah, she does. She...
- You know, she kind of...
She reminds me of Charlie a little bit.
- Charlie. She reminds me of...
- Charlie?
I think she might be Charlie O'Malley.
Jordan, what does that mean?
- Sorry, I'm expecting someone.
- Oh, no worries.
Is that you, Charlie O'Malley?
The one-woman crusader
against big business.
Please go away, Beau.
Come on. We're off the clock here.
You know, it's actually a coincidence.
I came to meet someone here, too.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
You remember Jordan, right?
My friend who likes to get
his nails done at your salon.
I haven't seen him here.
Hmm. Mind if I sit?
Yeah, actually, I do.
I'm expecting someone.
Beau, come on.
Is it Izzy?
You know, I was hoping to run into her.
She, uh, is quite the keyboard warrior.
Izzy has been very busy.
Yeah, I've noticed.
So, not Izzy, huh?
Kam?
Wait a minute.
Nice dress, no stains, perfume.
And a key chain.
It's not a key chain, is it?
This looks like a marker.
You're on a blind date.
It is none of your business
what I am doing or who I am doing it with.
- Butt out of my life.
- All right. Sorry.
Just wasn't aware that you'd be willing
to do something like this.
Believe it or not, there are a lot
of things you don't know about me, Beau.
There's a lot of things
you don't know about me, Charlie.
I'm sure getting to know you
would be exactly what I would expect.
And what would you expect?
A degree in place of intellect.
Preplanned lines
in place of a personality.
- Hmm.
- Hubris in place of a heart.
You're flirting with me, aren't you?
In my professional opinion,
if you were a car... totaled.
- Beyond repair.
- Is that so?
Send to the junkyard, crushed into a cube.
No spare parts to save.
That's a startling image
- you just painted on me, I got to say.
- Mm.
Okay, Beau.
We've done our little bit. We've had fun.
- That's enough.
- All right.
Sure. Enjoy your date.
- So, is he late or...
- What is your problem?
No, I-I don't got a problem. Just...
You get a text?
No. I'm sure he's driving.
So he's responsible, this guy of yours.
Very.
- Successful?
- Yes.
Good-looking?
Yeah, I'm sure he is.
You're sure he is? But...
You met him online, right?
But aren't dating sites
based entirely off of images?
If you must know,
I didn't meet him on a dating site.
I met him online on a car forum.
A car forum.
Wow.
- That's funny.
- Yeah, Beau.
A forum.
A place where people
with passion and intellect communicate.
Oh. That's right.
You might not understand
because you don't have either of those.
I'm passionate. Believe me.
Plenty passionate.
All right. I got an idea.
Why don't you have dinner with me instead?
No, I'm serious.
Why would I ever want to do that?
I don't know.
You're here, I'm here.
Just kind of feel bad
that your guy stood you up.
Oh.
You feel bad for me?
- Yeah.
- You?
- That's hilarious.
- Why is it hilarious?
It's not worth my time to explain.
- Nah, I want to know.
- I don't think you do, Beau.
- Come on, lay it on me. I can take it.
- Okay, Beau.
To feel bad, you actually
have to be able to feel.
Yeah, you're right, I'm alone right now.
I'm alone because I'm waiting
for a man with passion,
a man who's probably felt more in one day
than you have, I suppose,
in your entire life.
And when he gets here,
we are going to talk about things
that really matter to us.
Whereas you,
with-with your big executive job
and-and your money and the whole...
face thing you've got going on,
I am sure there are women all around you,
but they are just users,
and they are as empty as you are.
Guess you got me all figured out, huh?
- Hmm.
- Um, Beau, listen.
Save it.
That was, like,
a full-on existential take down.
Whatever.
Enjoy your date.
Though I got to say...
you look fantastic,
but you look like a Charlotte,
and I'm pretty sure the guy you're seeing
came to meet Charlie.
Be right there!
You blew it, didn't you?
Disaster.
Well, what did she say
when you told her it was you?
- You didn't tell her?
- What was I supposed to say, man?
What do you think
you're supposed to say to her?
- You are Bullnose.
- No.
Supposed to tell her you like her.
You're supposed to tell...
I really messed it up, man.
I messed it up.
Oh, my God, Beau. Listen to me.
You have been stuck in a job
that you don't like.
You've finally found a girl.
You're really into her.
So, what have you got to lose?
Oh, for God sakes, just take this.
Her name is Mariah.
Sing to her every morning at 7:00.
Jesus Christ.
What do you think of street tacos?
- I think I messed my stom...
- Hi. Hi, hi, hi.
Hey.
Oh, shit. What happened?
Um, nothing.
It was a terrible idea.
Wait, wait. What's wrong?
What, was he not your type?
He was old, wasn't he?
I don't know.
He never showed up.
He stood you up?
- Mm-hmm.
- What the hell?
What's his name?
Hang on, I'm gonna kill him.
I... I don't know his name.
How could I possibly
be so torn up over a person
whose name I don't even know?
I'm sorry, Char. Did...
Did he say why he bailed?
Did he have an excuse at least?
Uh, no.
No, he fully ghosted me.
That's ridiculous. He probably just died.
- Look, I'm gonna call the morgue.
- Got to be dead.
- Okay. Ugh, I'm fine.
- Yeah, maybe...
I'm fine. Let's, uh...
let's go back to work.
All right, well,
I'm almost done with the Camry.
I just got to replace the oil filter.
That...
Oh, shit.
Don't look at me. Don't look at me.
We just haven't been needing
as much stock lately.
Got it. I will go to the store
and get one.
Actually, um, I would love to. I'll go.
I really thought he was the one.
What is wrong with men?
Literally.
I'm so sorry about last night.
It's no excuse, but I was scared
you'd like the online version of me more.
So I hope you can forgive me.
The real me.
Mm.
Hey, Sam,
I'm looking for a Mann oil filter.
- Do you have any left?
- Oh, hey, Charlie.
Yeah, I think I moved those
over to aisle six.
- Oh. Thank you.
- Yeah. Good luck.
Looking for this?
- Yep.
- Hmm.
So, what you working on?
- A car.
- Mm.
Hmm.
And you didn't have any of these on hand?
Ordering error.
You know what?
Why don't you have it.
Really?
Hey, nice catch.
- Thank you.
- Mm.
Good hands.
Thank you so much.
Thanks.
I don't know what to do.
In my world, a guy ghosts you
and you ghost him back.
But I'm really pushing myself
to look at things differently.
The American dream.
It's perfect.
Your-your offer was
the highest one by far.
Mm. I like to collect
the most sought-after vehicles,
and this, they say, is the rarest, so...
it's the one I must have.
So I've fully restored the engine.
The Cleveland engine is-is known for its
impressive power output and reliability.
It's... it drives like a beast.
Drive?
I-I don't even have an American license.
This car is really meant to be driven.
Once you get a feel for it,
you're gonna love it.
It's about its value.
Hey. Hey.
Hi, Iz.
Hey, hey, hey.
I got your text. What-what's going on?
I can't get anything right.
What are you talking about?
Where is this coming from?
I got the SOS, and I didn't know
what to bring, so I just got everything.
I even thought about selling Marge
to save the shop, but...
but I couldn't.
Marge? No.
No, that's not an option.
Charle, you're just...
figuring out what you want
for the first time.
I've been going through all the numbers.
Trying everything, you guys.
Fuck numbers. We can figure out numbers.
I... We can...
We could go old-school.
- We could put an ad in the paper or...
- What?
What about the nails?
It's kind of working.
If you took a break...
I could take the front part of the lobby,
and I could probably cover the overhead.
We hardly use the break room.
Yeah.
Do something different in the garage.
Yeah, like what?
I don't know.
I think you have to figure it out.
You got to follow your heart.
What makes you happy?
Don't worry about us.
Yeah, I'll just dust off my rsum.
No, it's...
Anyplace would be lucky to have us.
You could even work across the street.
Yeah.
Change shit from the inside.
We just want you to be happy.
What will make me happy...
is the shop being
in the hands of someone
who loves it the way my dad and I did.
Are you sure?
That will make me happy.
I'll figure out what I want in time.
O'Malley's is closing.
I never told you much about it
because of our rules,
but it's a lovely repair shop,
and in a week it will be a nail salon
with an odd amount of garage space.
This place was my dad's dream.
Driving away from here is
one of the hardest things I've had to do.
I guess I just don't know what comes next.
I know it's clich,
but everything does happen for a reason.
I recently walked away from something,
and... I never should have.
But right after, I realized what
and more importantly who
I want in my life.
This is a shitty moment, no doubt,
but maybe now you can make
Revival Rides happen.
Your dream.
Either way, I'm thinking of you tonight.
I always thought I was scared
of letting my dad down,
but now I realize I was scared
of figuring me out.
The shop was a dream I inherited,
and I guess without it
I finally have to see
if I can create something of my own.
Screw it.
Charlie.
Beau.
Of course you're here.
Yeah.
My, uh, office is in this building.
And we're sitting. Okay.
What are you doing here?
I am meeting with...
someone about something.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm.
What's this "something"?
I'm just assessing my options.
- Okay.
- You know.
Geez.
Um... look, I, uh...
- I'm really sorry...
- Beau.
It's okay.
Truthfully, if it wasn't Miller Boys,
it would've been somebody else.
Look, besides, I'm...
I'm really excited to see
what else is out there for me.
Oh, yeah?
All right, so what's speaking to you?
I really love working on classic cars.
- The older the better.
- Okay.
If classic cars are your thing, then you
got to come to the Concours this weekend.
It's like Valhalla for car lovers.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Sorry, one second.
Yeah, sure.
Oh. Um...
All right, look, I know you don't want
to fraternize with the enemy,
but I'll just send you the ticket,
and then we can pretend
like we don't even know each other.
Yeah. Okay.
Maybe I'll see you this weekend.
Yeah. Maybe.
Maybe.
So that's why drinking bourbon
is a form of patriotism.
Wow.
Hmm.
There he is.
Oakland is now our top location
on the West Coast.
You have outdone yourself, my friend.
I think it's time to talk next steps.
You okay with them being here?
I know everyone out there thinks
I just hired them
so they'll agree with me,
but they have important jobs.
You do the...
- CFO.
- COO.
Mm-hmm. And I hired them.
Well, Nigella hired them, but I hired her.
Well, she was...
We started at the same time.
- It's a great hire.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- So, next steps.
Right. Of course.
I just want to say I'm really happy
we're doing this, right?
- Yeah.
- So I'm thinking we start small.
By reallocating a couple of resources,
we can really expand into that EV market.
Um, wh-when I said "next steps,"
I meant new locations in the Midwest.
- I mean...
- Sir, we had a deal.
Right? We shook hands.
Yeah. No, no, no, we still do.
We still do.
I just...
We-we should just put a pin in it
until we conquer all of North America.
I think that's fair. W-Wouldn't you agree?
- Yeah, it increases our bottom line.
- Absolutely.
Yeah.
I see.
Well, I'm glad you see that,
because it's very important
to keep our closer happy.
I, uh... I can't do this anymore.
I can't be your closer anymore.
I knew when you told me
you don't wanna go home tonight
and you tried to just shrug it off
when I asked you why
somebody hurt you, somebody hurt you
But you're here by my side
And I knew, 'cause I can recall
when I was the one in your seat
Oh.
I still got the scars,
and they occasionally bleed
'Cause somebody hurt me,
somebody hurt me
But I'm staying alive
And I can tell when you get nervous
you think being yourself
means being unworthy
And it's hard to love
with a heart that's hurting...
Hey.
Hey, you.
See anything you like yet?
You know what,
I got my eye on a couple things.
Oh.
I know a place we can go
Yeah
Lay down their weapon
You coming?
Just give me trust
and watch what'll happen
'Cause I know
You look great.
I know a place we can run...
Honestly,
any of these cars, I could happily...
This is something you get married in.
- This?
- Yeah.
Did you just ask me to marry you?
- God, is that what just happened?
- Did you just propose to me?
- I don't have a ring...
- I don't know you that well.
Mm.
You said take you on a date?
I was kidding.
- I mean...
- That was an absolute joke.
They will try to tell you
you're not free
Don't listen...
How's this?
- Okay. That's perfect.
- Good?
Can you move a little to your left?
- A little bit this way?
- Yeah, yeah, a little more.
- Bit more?
- A little more.
- Um, just three feet apart.
- Hold up, wait. I think I'll be...
- Get out of the way.
- I think I'm good over here.
I know a place we can go...
Like this?
It's beautiful. Do you, um...
do you mind if I take a photo with it?
- Yes, of course.
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
Well, will you please take the photo?
And anything can happen
- 'Cause I know
- Ooh
- I know a place we can go
- Yeah
where everyone gonna
lay down their weapon...
You got a good eye.
That's good.
Uh, well, you know, the subject
was pretty great as well.
- To be fair, the subject was...
- The subject wasn't bad, but, you know,
you still have to know when to capture it.
Right. Of course.
Where everyone gonna lay down
their weapon, lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid
of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon
Thanks for this.
Today was, um, actually kind of fun.
It was, right?
Yeah.
Want to go get something to eat?
Um, I should...
I should probably get back.
Sure.
Get home safe, huh?
Try not to miss me too much, if you can.
Right, I got it.
Gotta go
- Gotta go
- Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotta go
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotta go
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotta go
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Little too much car for you, Beau?
You know what, Charlie O'Malley?
Seems like you got me a little overheated.
Oh, my God.
Could you love this a little less, please?
- What have you done to this beauty?
- Me?
What have I done? Nothing.
She just needs to, like, cool down.
Can I give you a ride somewhere?
You know, the, uh, tow guy said
he would be here in like two hours, so...
Okay.
Up to you.
I mean, if you're offering.
Well, you didn't wake up this morning
'cause you didn't go to bed...
- What?
- Nothing.
Was this your plan all along?
I'm not that smart.
I do make a mean arrabbiata, though.
- Love that.
- Mm-hmm.
You watch a plane flying
across the clear blue sky
This is the day
your life will surely change
This is the day
- You don't know about this song.
- when things fall into place...
This is my song. All right, solo time.
Um, are you playing the harmonica?
- Yeah, it's a air harmonica.
- It's an accordion.
Absolutely an accordion.
- This ain't a harmonica?
- That's an accordion.
I've thought my entire life that
- that was a harmonica.
- Your entire life?
I have a great musical ear, and I think...
I'm saying, sounds like a harmonica.
That hold your life
together like glue
All right, miss.
Putting you to work today.
Yeah, you're quite the taskmaster,
aren't you?
You surprised to learn
I'm not all discount oil changes?
Kind of.
I am certainly surprised
you have such good taste in cars.
My, my. Charlie O'Malley.
Was that a compliment?
I believe it was.
Pot's down here.
Isn't that convenient?
I saw her in the rightest way
looking like Anne Hathaway
laughing while she hit her pen
and coughed and coughed
And then she came up...
You okay?
Yeah, um... yeah.
I just... I feel so, um...
Beautiful?
Sexy? Incredible?
Greasy?
Um...
- You're greasy. Um...
- Hey.
There's nothing wrong
with a bit of grease, right?
Where is your bathroom?
And when you get a taste,
can you tell me, what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God,
but I believe that you're my savior
My mom says that she's worried,
but I'm covered in his favor
And when we're getting dirty,
I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you
'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you
and I hate to wait so long
Charlie, everything okay?
Hey. Hey, ho, ho, ho.
Oh, shit.
Charlie. Charlie, wait.
- Hold up. Hold up, all right?
- How long?
How long, Beau?
All right.
I wanted to tell you.
I just...
I was afraid.
How long have you been playing me?
Playing you?
No.
I've known since that night
at the restaurant.
Hey, what was I supposed to say?
- The truth.
- The truth?
Truth is that Bullnose
had GreaseMnky, and...
I wanted you.
Hey.
Tell me you don't feel the same.
I don't.
I don't believe you.
Hey. Just cool it a second, all right?
Would you let me explain?
I don't want an explanation, Beau.
None of this was real.
I was such a fucking idiot.
You're not an idiot. This is real.
Working at Miller Boys was
a huge opportunity for me.
I thought it would give me
the life that I always wanted.
If I'd have known working somewhere
like that would hurt someone like you,
I-I would...
Someone like me?
No.
No. You know that's not what I meant.
- Someone like me?
- Don't do that.
Okay.
You don't get it, do you, Beau?
You know, you're exactly
what I expected you to be.
All right.
I deserve that.
But I'm not just that guy.
Yeah, I messed up.
But this is real, Charlie.
No, I...
How can I ever trust you again?
Exactly.
Come on.
Charlie.
Yeah, I'm good.
Yeah, I promise.
Wh-What are you, my mother? I'm fine.
Yeah.
Gonna take Diane on a little road trip.
She's not answering.
Radio silence.
I miss seeing your face every day.
I miss seeing your face every day.
Sorry I am late.
This new job has me busy.
- Okay.
- No offense, but it is busy.
But I'm happy to announce
that no one has been overcharged
or mansplained to since I started there.
- Mission accomplished.
- Mission accomplished.
Over there, I'm, like, the best.
They worship me.
And, um...
How...
How is he?
Beau?
Oh, he quit weeks ago.
He suddenly developed, like,
a corporate conscience.
Said he couldn't be their closer anymore.
I didn't tell you.
My bad. Sorry.
Looks like you weren't the only one
ready for some change.
Charlie?
Oh.
We lost her.
Where are you?
Charlie.
It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter.
- She says it doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter.
Bullnose, aka Beau,
was, like, your closest confidant
at one point.
Mm.
You talked every day.
You don't miss him?
- Okay, but I-I just...
- Can I just ask you one question?
What is so bad about them
being the same person?
I mean, what he did was wrong.
- We all agree?
- For sure.
- Super weird. Very wrong.
- He lied.
But maybe it was 'cause
he was afraid of losing you.
Which I get.
I really miss him.
Yeah?
Girl, what are you gonna do about it?
Um...
- I got to go, okay?
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
- Yes. Yes. Please.
- Get your man.
That's what I'm talking about.
- We did that.
- Whoa.
- Whoa, wait.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, we're doing that.
It's Beau.
I'm on a road trip,
and I haven't got my cell,
so don't bother leaving a message.
Finally.
Gott's Roadside diner.
Thank you.
Go get him.
Anyone here know how to change a tire?
I'm having some car trouble.
How about you?
Who, me?
You know, I was once told
you got to treat a car like a woman.
I haven't been so confident
in my abilities recently.
Look, I know you may not
believe me, but...
I truly feel sorry
for what we did to your shop.
I left the company, and...
I'm kind of doing my own thing.
Beau, I've been thinking a lot about...
Charlie, it's fine.
Sorry I wasn't honest with you.
I came here, um...
I came here because I...
I don't know, I, um...
I want to give this a try.
Us, for real.
How can you ever trust me again?
Hmm?
I think I understand why you lied.
I've had a really hard time
letting anyone in.
But with you, I finally felt
fully understood by another person.
- What are you doing out here, anyway?
- I don't know.
I'm actually closing a deal on something.
Check it out.
No.
A '68 Dodge Charger? You found one?
Yep.
Took some doing.
No, she needs a lot of work, but, uh...
I don't know, I was thinking maybe
you and me could fix her up together.
- Do you want to get out of here?
- Oh, yeah.
- Where are you going?
- Oh, my...
Oh, my God.
Come on.
Catch.
Well, you didn't wake up this morning
'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching...
- Ah-ah.
- Oh.
The calendar on your wall
is ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think
how much you've changed
All the money in the world
- Ready?
- Yes.
Couldn't buy back those days
You pull back the curtains
and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
across the clear blue sky
This is the day
your life will surely change
This is the day
when things fall into place...
I wish things had been easier,
but looking at how it's played out,
I can't help but feel like
someone up there was looking out for me.
So thanks, Dad, if you're listening.
I still sometimes feel
fear of the unknown,
but then I close my eyes, take a breath
and I allow this beautiful world
to open me up to all of its magic.
I can say that in the end,
if this isn't a win,
it at least feels like one.
I think you'd be proud of me.
I know I am.
So... yeah, can you pass me...
- Is this the one you're looking for?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, you're gonna have to work
harder than that.
You pull back your curtains
and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
across the clear blue sky
This is the day
your life will surely change
This is the day
when things fall into place
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
This is the day
- This is the day
- your life will surely change
