On Becoming a God in Central Florida (2019) s01e05 Episode Script
Many Masters
1 Previously This is the house of a Silver Washington distributor.
[KRYSTAL.]
Hmm.
- Splashercize is a hit.
- Mm-hmm.
Y'all just stay put.
It's a recruiting tool.
You can tell him I'm improving the Garbeau System.
I need to speak to Obie Garbeau ASA-fucking-P.
'Cause if you were a Washington, you would be invited to his retreat next week at Paradise Cay.
How do I become a Washington? I know what you're up to.
What you're doing is dangerous.
[CODY.]
You tapped a whole new market.
- [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- And I'm going to Paradise Cay.
We went Washington.
And we're gonna get a one-on-one with Obie.
And we're gonna get what we want.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Oftentimes at night, I dream about America.
I dream about a land so rich in opportunity that it geysers up from the ground like oil, bursting to touch the heavens.
[BIRD SCREECHES.]
I dream of a simpler time when Injuns roamed, and Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley were out there keeping the West good and wild.
[GASPING.]
And thanks to the Garbeau System, when I wake up in whatever home of mine I've laid my head down in, it's like I'm still dreaming.
[OPTIMISTIC MUSIC.]
[THUMPING.]
[PHONE DINGING.]
- [SHUSHING.]
- Maybe you dream of luxury.
Caviar for breakfast, Kobe beef for lunch.
Speeding down the highway in that Italian car with that Italian gal.
Owning your life so your life doesn't own you.
- - [DIALOGUE INAUDIBLE.]
I'm so glad you're taking a vacation.
Paradise Cay is not a vacation.
I'm only going so I can get my Splashercize class back.
Well, it sounds tropical.
- [DESTINEE COOS.]
- [BETS SIGHS.]
Oh A weekend away won't mean anything.
Destinee's gonna grow up knowing her mama's a hard-working lady.
- You think? - I know.
- [SIGHS.]
Oh, okay.
- [HORN HONKS.]
Mama's got to go.
I love you.
Mmm-mmm-mmm, give me sugar.
- [BETS CHUCKLES.]
- I love you.
- All right.
Thank y'all.
Bye.
- Ah.
- Go get 'em, girl.
- Of course.
- Okay.
- You say, "Bye-bye, Mama"? Say "Bye-bye, Mama.
- Bye-bye.
" - [DOOR CLOSES.]
[OBIE.]
My grandpa used to say to me, "Obie, you got a penny, you save that penny for a rainy day, and by gosh, it'll be worth a nickel.
" [OBIE LAUGHS.]
And that's why I love rainy days 'cause one day, a big storm might come.
And if you don't have those nickels saved up, you're gonna get washed away.
[THUNDER RUMBLING.]

You have to be invited.
What do you notice about all these Washingtons? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
They're all white.
Couples.
They're all couples.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING.]
You all worked hard to get here, and the work has just begun.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
You all might recognize me from the brochures.
I'm Harmony.
It's my pleasure to be your emcee during your stay here in Paradise.
Now, if every couple could send their man to check in, the women can have a drink.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
- [WOMAN.]
How are you, dear? - [WOMAN 2.]
Good to see you.
I'm guessing there's no booze in this? Your hair looks real nice.
[CHUCKLES.]
Where do you think Obie's at? I don't know.
Probably off somewhere closing a multimillion-dollar deal.
I said I really like your hair like that.
I heard you the first time.
I'll go get us our room.
[ROGER.]
Welcome, yeah.
Roger.
I want to talk to Obie.
Everybody does.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]

[CHUCKLES.]
Can you believe that? Mm-hmm.
- - [JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING.]
- What is this? - Hey! That's, uh, for Obie.
Well, that's one way to get his attention.
Can I have it back? There's no need to be shy, Krystal.
Carol made a gift for Obie, too.
Well, I just wanted to thank Obie for the extraordinary wealth that FAM has given us.
It says, "Be a peli-can, not a peli-can't.
" - She stitched it herself.
- [GIGGLES.]
Isn't she a stitch? - Aw - [BOTH LAUGH.]
Well, Krystal, darling, I hope you don't have your heart set on meeting with Obie.
You know, he only meets with one couple.
How does he decide who to meet? Well, it's sort of like a competition.
Okay, so when's the competition start? Honey, it already has.
I got our keys.
Got these cool name tags.
You ready? You want to check out our room? I heard the sheets have a very high thread count.
[GASPS.]
Wow.
Oh, they're beautiful.
I think they're creepy.
Hmm.
[LINE RINGING.]
Quality spread.
So, are we sleeping head to toe or Will you zip it? - I'm calling Destinee.
- Zipped.
[BED SQUEAKING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
Why aren't they answering? You know, I love how your nails are like cute little claws.
Cody! Can you just be less you? [SIGHS.]
I need a minute.
Sorry.
I'll go change.
[SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
[SIGHS.]
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
Okay.
We need to strategize what we're gonna say to Obie.
You don't lay these kinds of things on a man - like Obie Garbeau.
- [SIGHS HEAVILY.]
Honey, something is wrong.
We should be making six figures, not taking out a second mortgage.
You quit your practice.
If you go negative on FAM, what are you gonna do next, hmm? Mow lawns? What's that? My new dress for the banquet.
Like it? I won't cut the tags.
I love you, you know.
I know it.
[QUIET MUSIC.]
Mm.
Hey.
Let's crush these losers.
[CAROL LAUGHS.]
You don't have to apologize all the time, you know.
Yeah, I know.
I get on your nerves.
Yeah, you drive me crazy, but who cares? I care.
What? Come out here.
I said I care.
Put your pants on.
- I'm sorry.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
Sorry.
[SIGHS.]
Why do you care, Cody? Because when when we When you let me Cody.
[WHISPERING.]
That was special to me.

[JARRING MUSIC.]
[APPLAUSE.]
[HARMONY.]
Hailing from Orlando adjacent, it's Carroll and Carol Wilkes.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
[CARROLL GRUNTING.]
What? I like this outfit on you.
[HARMONY.]
Also from very near Orlando, put your hands together for [MICROPHONE FEEDBACK.]
[QUIETLY.]
Yeah, but are they married? Okay, sorry, folks.
Uh, now, let's pound those palms for Cody Bonar and, uh, Krystal Stubbs.
[SCATTERED APPLAUSE.]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING.]
Is everyone else here married? Yes.
Everyone but, uh, but Nigel.
Hi.
Hi, Nigel.
So, are we losing? I feel like I'm winning.
[MUSIC ENDS.]
[HARMONY.]
And now, the man who made this all possible the creator and progenitor of the incomparable Garbeau System, it's Obie Garbeau II.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
And, as always, by his side, the first lady of making dreams come true, his beautiful wife, Louise.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
- [LOUD CHEERING.]
- [MAN.]
Whoa Okay, settle down.
You know, folks, I've always felt that we could learn a great deal from our brethren in the animal kingdom.
But none more so than the noble pelican.
Now, why do I revere this beautiful bird? The pelican is an animal both wily and fierce.
She's graceful as she soars through the sky searching for food, yet ruthless when she dive-bombs for her prey.
She observes.
She plans.
Attacks! [AUDIENCE GASPING.]
[SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
Learn from the pelican.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
- [MAN.]
Yeah! - [MAN 2.]
Yeah! Yes! [HARMONY.]

[CAROL.]
Oh, and you do.
- [CARROLL.]
And I do.
- [TRINA.]
So, now, Carol, I am just sitting here, loving your dress.
Oh, this old thing? [LAUGHS.]
I'm just kidding.
It's brand-new.
- FAM has been so good to us.
- Us, too.
Fact, we just bought ourselves a second boat.
- Ski boat.
- [LAUGHS.]
Oh.
How darling.
[TRINA.]
Oh, and your earrings are darling, too.
- Enjoy.
- Oh, I got them at this divine little boutique in Boca - We love Boca.
- Toilet paper must be selling really well to, uh [LAUGHS.]
get yourself a new boat, huh? I'm not eating any of this crap.
[CODY.]
Are you selling the one-ply? - [CARROLL.]
Mm-hmm.
- One-ply.
- So do we.
- Right? [CODY.]
Personally, I'm glad FAM doesn't make two-ply.
I think one-ply is just fine, thank you, I mean, unless there's something wrong with your - [CHAIR SCRAPES.]
- I need some air.
- [CAROL.]
Oh.
- [TRINA.]
Oh.
Um, as I was saying, i-if I want two-ply, you know what I do? I just fold my one-ply.
Ha! - That's math.
- [CARROLL.]
Smart, that's it.
[PERCUSSIVE MUSIC.]
Hey.
Hey! Hey! Hey, I know you.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
What are you doing here? Just trying my best to help out.
I thought you told me Obie Garbeau was a killer.
Yeah.
A killer businessman.
No.
You hate Obie.
You made that pretty clear.

Now she's fast asleep.
That's my girl.
I tried y'all earlier.
We went to the park.
Harold wanted to show Destinee the ducklings.
Bets, I know I'm crazy, but can I hear her breathe? Oh, honey, that isn't crazy at all.
[QUIETLY.]
Hold on just a sec, okay? [WHISPERS.]
Okay, here she is.

[INDISTINCT MURMURING.]
[MURMURING CONTINUES.]
Hi, I'm Todd Burger, this is my wife Trina.
In my old life, I was just a clerk in a sporting goods store.
I hated my J-O-B, and I hated my boss, who was a royal S-O-B.
One day, at my brother's son's funeral, a friend of his started explaining the Garbeau System, and it was like a like a religious revelation.
[APPLAUSE.]
[THORTON.]
I was addicted to caffeine.
I was addicted to marijuana, smoked it two or three times a week.
I ate pills for breakfast, and Wild Turkey for lunch.
The whiskey, not the lunch meat.
I ate cat food, dog food, bird food, uh, some human food, but not a lot.
At my lowest, I put a gun in my mouth.
But, friends, I'm proud to say that now I put Obie's words in my mouth, and my downline does whatever I say! - [APPLAUSE.]
- [WOMAN.]
Yes.
[THORTON.]
I have to laugh when I think about how low I was.
But recently I did something to make sure I never get that low again.
I bought a hang glider.
Yowzah! [APPLAUSE.]
Now I have a steam room and a sauna.
Sometimes I want to sweat, and I can't even decide how.
- [TRINA LAUGHS.]
- [APPLAUSE.]
All right, honey.
Are you ready to bring it? - Yeah.
- Come on.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hello, everybody.
- I'm Carroll.
- And I'm Carol.
And I have always been obsessed with smiles, so, in my 20s, I started my own dental practice - and met this pretty little lady - Oh.
when she walked in with those pearly whites.
Or at-at least now they're pearly whites.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I-I, I-I fixed her up.
We-we fell in love, and-and I married her as quick as I could.
Yeah, I was, uh [LAUGHS.]
I-I was doing pretty good, actually.
I, uh, I was happy.
- I - Well, not as happy as we are now.
Thanks to FAM, we are now living in our dream house.
- Yeah.
- I'm talking eight bathrooms, six bedrooms, a game room.
I mean, I swear, he's gonna leave me for Ms.
Pac-Man one day.
- [BOTH LAUGH.]
- [CARROLL.]
That's right.
Hey, you want to know the best part? Are you ready, honey? FAM gives us strength! [WOMAN.]

[SHARP EXHALE.]
[AUDIENCE MUTTERING.]

[SCATTERED APPLAUSE.]
Mr.
Garbeau, this is such an honor.
I can barely stand it.
You're the father I wish I had.
And you're the man I want to be.
But best of all, you gave me the love of a good woman.
Which is why I want you to see this.
[GASPS.]
- Oh.
- [KRYSTAL.]
Cody! Krystal Stubbs you've you've made me happier than I've ever been.

[CARROLL WHOOPS.]
[FEEDBACK WHINES.]
[EXHALES.]
[SCOFFS.]
Can you believe how strong Carroll is? That's I can't right now.
With you and FAM.
I just want to fucking scream.
[SIGHS.]
Well, you sure aren't acting like a Washington.
We just lost.
How am I supposed to act? Well, you can't look desperate, because Obie hates that.
I am desperate.
I'm a single mom and I was finally making things work.
And that man took it away from me.
You're not single.
[SCOFFS.]
Let me clarify something for you.
That was a big old bag of bullcrap.
But we-we just And I know you like bossing me, and I a-and I like being bossed Yeah, but I don't like you.
Sure you do.
Sort of.
Don't you? [DOOR OPENS.]

[SQUAWKING.]
[WHISPERS.]
Hi.
[OVEN CLICKING.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
Set that for 220 or it'll burn the roof of your mouth.
And who are you? Krystal Stubbs.
The alligator widow.
I bet you don't know who Judi Sheppard Missett is, either.
It's 1969, a-and Judi's teaching a dance class in Chicago.
But [BLOWS.]
she's perturbed by the low dropout But she's perturbed by the high dropout rate, so she decides to start each class with a little jazz.
Sounds kind of cheesy, right? Well, today [BLOWS.]
- Hmm.
- Uh Jazzercise is a multimillion-dollar industry with over 6,000 franchises Do you, uh, need to attend to your Hot Pockets? I work at Rebel Rapids, not five minutes from Disney World, where I head up the Splashercize program.
Now, until you shut me down, I had the entire Orlando downline in there, and the whole water park stocked to the gills with FAM products.
FAM protein shakes, FAM vitamins, FAM workout videos.
I'm talking about the perfect little FAM outlet right next door to the Happiest Place on God's goddamn green Earth.
Now, this book is a plan to franchise Splashercize to pools around the country, all using the Garbeau name.
Now, any idiot can see that FAM would make more money this way.
And, Mr.
Obie Garbeau II, I know you're no idiot.
The best part is, you don't even need to lift a pinky.
All you got to do is nod your head yes.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
[MUSIC STOPS.]
[OVEN DINGS.]
Time's up, alligator widow.
Look at me talking your ear off, well You're probably low blood sugar.
I'll just leave that.
Got a tip on sales.

Oh, oh, Obie! Obie, oh, my God, oh.
- Oh - [OBIE GROANING.]
Oh, my God, are you all right? Why'd you buy so much fruit? Um, I was doing what the doctor told me to.
That man wants to see me in my grave.
Oh, now, Peanut.
[SHUSHES.]
Honey, you need to rest.
What? Where are you going? I will rest when I am dead.
[SQUISH.]
These are the affirmations of Obie Garbeau II.
For private use only.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
I am a friend of God.
[PANTING.]
I am the true and rightful leader of FAM.
I am a vehicle of divine know-how.
[HEART THUMPING.]
My parents were fools who deserve the worms that burrow through their skulls.
[ECHOING.]
I am not cursed with unsightly feet.
Hey.
Louise loves me and me alone.
[LAUGHTER.]
Females find me appealing to the eye and to the touch, but do not require orgasms to prove it.
[LAUGHTER.]
I am not excessively ticklish.
[DISORIENTING MUSIC.]
[GROANS.]
- Elevators are not coffins to heaven.
- [CHICKS CHEEPING.]
My heart is robust and healthful.

- [RUMBLING.]
[WIND ROARING.]
[LOUISE.]
You're okay.
It's my heart.
You're okay.
Mr.
Garbeau, you've had a mild cardiac event.
Your heartbeat remains arrhythmic, but no need to worry, we'll fly you down to a specialist in Miami and have a pacemaker inside you by sundown.
No, uh, no pacemaker.
- Now, Obie - It's a routine procedure, and I can assure you the doctor's You don't think I know my own body? Arrhythmia tends to exacerbate anxiety.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Don't you ever talk like I'm not here.
My body knows what to do! [CLEARS THROAT.]
You get him on that chopper.
[HEART BEATING.]
Garbage bags.

[DISTORTED GRUNT.]
[GRUNTING.]

Obie.
That's enough.
Your heart.
It's time for me to meet with the winning Washington couple.
- [EXHALES.]
- Hey, don't say a bad word.
Yeah, I know what to say, woman.
We just want to tell you that this is the thrill of a lifetime.
Yes, it is.
You've got five minutes.
- [EXHALES.]
- Uh, Mr.
Garbeau, uh, w-w-we went Washington about a-a year or so ago And it's been a blessing ever since.
Right.
So blessed.
But I, I just I can't understand why our bonus checks aren't bigger.
You know, we should be making six figures, and I'll be straight with you, I'm lucky to clear 30 grand a year.
I-I'm working 60-hour weeks.
I'm barely getting any sleep.
I-I had savings, now I've got debt, and my son Carl, we had big plans for him for school.
I follow this system like scripture.
The tapes, the-the-the-the retreats with the - W-We do it all, whole hog.
- Yeah, we do.
I know I have to be doing something wrong, but for the life of me, I can't f It's very simple.
Money is like hot air.
It's always rising.
Ah I sold you that house because I believe in you.
[SIGHS.]
But you need to be honest with yourselves.
You are Silver Washingtons living a Gold Washington lifestyle.
Right, I-I-I said that.
I said that if we were Gold, we wouldn't have these problems I mean, challenges.
[CHUCKLES.]
- [CARROLL.]
No, it makes sense.
- Right.
But I'm working as hard as I know how.
Are you? [PERCUSSIVE MUSIC.]
- What you doing down there? - Huh? Going Gold.
Can we help? Uh, here.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Oh.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[SIGHS.]
Oh.
Oh, my Oh, gross.
- Carol? - Hi, Krystal.
Obie gave us a special assignment.
You want to join in? Why? The Gold Washingtons are coming next week, and, I mean, who knows? Maybe we'll be here with them.
You haven't seen Cody, have you? - Nope.
- Probably engagement jitters.
Same thing happened to me.
Are you sure you don't want to scrub in? Nope.
It's a fast track to success.
Clean.
[LOUISE LAUGHS.]
[LOUISE.]
Well, I thought it was wonderfully done, and I have to tell you, I love these glasses on you.
[WHISPERING.]
And I thought your presentation was better than anyone's.
Mr.
Garbeau.
What? If you got something to say, say it.
The helicopter is gassed and ready.
You were my favorite.
Did you know that? But somewhere along the way, you began to waver.
I just want you alive and healthy.
You still think that the soul is inside the body, don't you? Well, you've got it exactly backwards.
It's the body that's inside one big soul.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[DOORKNOBS JIGGLING.]
[SOARING, AMBIENT MUSIC.]
Mr.
Garbeau, I I caught the noble pelican.
[EXHALES.]
[EXHALES.]
You caught that? Yes.
And then you killed it? We had a heck of a brawl.
I think I chipped my incisor.
Mr.
Garbeau, you you once said, "If you want to achieve greatness you're gonna have to make some sacrifices.
" So [LAUGHS.]
Now, this is what true faith looks like.
True faith.
Sir What is your name again, son? Cody.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY.]
Cody Bonar.
Cody Bonar.
[LAUGHS.]
I've been waiting for someone like you.
[ROGER.]
Obie, I don't think that Cancel the damn chopper.
[ENYA'S "STORMS IN AFRICA".]
[LAUGHING.]
My friends, this is a world of many masters.
Cody? [OBIE.]
Many systems.
Countless people conniving to steal your money and break your spirit.
Makes a man dizzy sometimes.
Oh.
You keep that dress.
- But, honey - Oh, you heard Obie.
We're so close.
We just have to work harder.
[OBIE.]
But if you follow my system, the Garbeau System, you serve no one but yourself.
- You do know how to shoot, yeah? - [MAKES SHOOTING NOISE.]
Seems pretty intuitive.
[CODY.]
Krystal! Excuse me.
Hey.
Where have you been? Where to begin? I, uh, I met with Mr.
Garbeau, and we talked man-to-man, and he asked me to be on his elite security force.
- Gave me a gun and everything.
- Jesus Christ, Cody.
- Is that thing loaded? - Yeah.
I think so.
I mean, I don't think the bullets are gold, though, but it's still, still pretty cool, huh? - Wow.
- Yeah.
What can I say? You must've really impressed him.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Did you ever get to show him that Splashercize book? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah? Yeah, if he's smart, he'll read it.
Don't worry.
Mr.
Garbeau and I work closely now.
I'll talk to him.
[ENYA'S "STORMS IN AFRICA".]
Oftentimes people will ask me, "Obie, you're a rich man, a handsome man, the pinnacle of earthly success.
What is it you sell exactly?" And I look 'em straight in the peepers and I tell 'em, "Brother, I sell people back their souls.
" Like the preacher man says, "We all got to serve somebody.
" So I want you to ask yourselves, "Who am I serving?" "And what did he do with my soul?" [GROUP CHANTING.]

[KRYSTAL.]
Hmm.
- Splashercize is a hit.
- Mm-hmm.
Y'all just stay put.
It's a recruiting tool.
You can tell him I'm improving the Garbeau System.
I need to speak to Obie Garbeau ASA-fucking-P.
'Cause if you were a Washington, you would be invited to his retreat next week at Paradise Cay.
How do I become a Washington? I know what you're up to.
What you're doing is dangerous.
[CODY.]
You tapped a whole new market.
- [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- And I'm going to Paradise Cay.
We went Washington.
And we're gonna get a one-on-one with Obie.
And we're gonna get what we want.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Oftentimes at night, I dream about America.
I dream about a land so rich in opportunity that it geysers up from the ground like oil, bursting to touch the heavens.
[BIRD SCREECHES.]
I dream of a simpler time when Injuns roamed, and Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley were out there keeping the West good and wild.
[GASPING.]
And thanks to the Garbeau System, when I wake up in whatever home of mine I've laid my head down in, it's like I'm still dreaming.

Owning your life so your life doesn't own you.

I'm so glad you're taking a vacation.
Paradise Cay is not a vacation.
I'm only going so I can get my Splashercize class back.
Well, it sounds tropical.

[OBIE.]
My grandpa used to say to me, "Obie, you got a penny, you save that penny for a rainy day, and by gosh, it'll be worth a nickel.

And that's why I love rainy days 'cause one day, a big storm might come.
And if you don't have those nickels saved up, you're gonna get washed away.

Good to see you.
I'm guessing there's no booze in this? Your hair looks real nice.

Well, that's one way to get his attention.
Can I have it back? There's no need to be shy, Krystal.
Carol made a gift for Obie, too.
Well, I just wanted to thank Obie for the extraordinary wealth that FAM has given us.
It says, "Be a peli-can, not a peli-can't.
" - She stitched it herself.
- [GIGGLES.]
Isn't she a stitch? - Aw - [BOTH LAUGH.]
Well, Krystal, darling, I hope you don't have your heart set on meeting with Obie.
You know, he only meets with one couple.
How does he decide who to meet? Well, it's sort of like a competition.
Okay, so when's the competition start? Honey, it already has.
I got our keys.
Got these cool name tags.
You ready? You want to check out our room? I heard the sheets have a very high thread count.

We need to strategize what we're gonna say to Obie.
You don't lay these kinds of things on a man - like Obie Garbeau.

Honey, something is wrong.
We should be making six figures, not taking out a second mortgage.
You quit your practice.
If you go negative on FAM, what are you gonna do next, hmm? Mow lawns? What's that? My new dress for the banquet.

You know, folks, I've always felt that we could learn a great deal from our brethren in the animal kingdom.
But none more so than the noble pelican.
Now, why do I revere this beautiful bird? The pelican is an animal both wily and fierce.
She's graceful as she soars through the sky searching for food, yet ruthless when she dive-bombs for her prey.
She observes.
She plans.

Hi, I'm Todd Burger, this is my wife Trina.
In my old life, I was just a clerk in a sporting goods store.
I hated my J-O-B, and I hated my boss, who was a royal S-O-B.
One day, at my brother's son's funeral, a friend of his started explaining the Garbeau System, and it was like a like a religious revelation.
[APPLAUSE.]
[THORTON.]
I was addicted to caffeine.
I was addicted to marijuana, smoked it two or three times a week.
I ate pills for breakfast, and Wild Turkey for lunch.
The whiskey, not the lunch meat.
I ate cat food, dog food, bird food, uh, some human food, but not a lot.
At my lowest, I put a gun in my mouth.
But, friends, I'm proud to say that now I put Obie's words in my mouth, and my downline does whatever I say! - [APPLAUSE.]
- [WOMAN.]
Yes.
[THORTON.]
I have to laugh when I think about how low I was.
But recently I did something to make sure I never get that low again.
I bought a hang glider.
Yowzah! [APPLAUSE.]
Now I have a steam room and a sauna.
Sometimes I want to sweat, and I can't even decide how.

Sounds kind of cheesy, right? Well, today [BLOWS.]
- Hmm.
- Uh Jazzercise is a multimillion-dollar industry with over 6,000 franchises Do you, uh, need to attend to your Hot Pockets? I work at Rebel Rapids, not five minutes from Disney World, where I head up the Splashercize program.
Now, until you shut me down, I had the entire Orlando downline in there, and the whole water park stocked to the gills with FAM products.
FAM protein shakes, FAM vitamins, FAM workout videos.
I'm talking about the perfect little FAM outlet right next door to the Happiest Place on God's goddamn green Earth.
Now, this book is a plan to franchise Splashercize to pools around the country, all using the Garbeau name.
Now, any idiot can see that FAM would make more money this way.

Mr.
Garbeau, I I caught the noble pelican.
[EXHALES.]
[EXHALES.]
You caught that? Yes.
And then you killed it? We had a heck of a brawl.
I think I chipped my incisor.
Mr.
Garbeau, you you once said, "If you want to achieve greatness you're gonna have to make some sacrifices.
" So [LAUGHS.]
Now, this is what true faith looks like.
True faith.
Sir What is your name again, son? Cody.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY.]
Cody Bonar.
Cody Bonar.
[LAUGHS.]
I've been waiting for someone like you.
[ROGER.]
Obie, I don't think that Cancel the damn chopper.
[ENYA'S "STORMS IN AFRICA".]
[LAUGHING.]
My friends, this is a world of many masters.
Cody? [OBIE.]
Many systems.
Countless people conniving to steal your money and break your spirit.
Makes a man dizzy sometimes.
Oh.
You keep that dress.
- But, honey - Oh, you heard Obie.
We're so close.
We just have to work harder.
[OBIE.]
But if you follow my system, the Garbeau System, you serve no one but yourself.
- You do know how to shoot, yeah? - [MAKES SHOOTING NOISE.]
Seems pretty intuitive.
[CODY.]
Krystal! Excuse me.
Hey.
Where have you been? Where to begin? I, uh, I met with Mr.
Garbeau, and we talked man-to-man, and he asked me to be on his elite security force.
- Gave me a gun and everything.
- Jesus Christ, Cody.
- Is that thing loaded? - Yeah.
I think so.
I mean, I don't think the bullets are gold, though, but it's still, still pretty cool, huh? - Wow.
- Yeah.
What can I say? You must've really impressed him.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Did you ever get to show him that Splashercize book? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah? Yeah, if he's smart, he'll read it.
Don't worry.
Mr.
Garbeau and I work closely now.
I'll talk to him.
[ENYA'S "STORMS IN AFRICA".]
Oftentimes people will ask me, "Obie, you're a rich man, a handsome man, the pinnacle of earthly success.
What is it you sell exactly?" And I look 'em straight in the peepers and I tell 'em, "Brother, I sell people back their souls.
" Like the preacher man says, "We all got to serve somebody.
" So I want you to ask yourselves, "Who am I serving?" "And what did he do with my soul?" [GROUP CHANTING.]
Who gets it done? FAM Washington.
Who gets it done? FAM Washington.
[CHEERING.]
Stop tape.
I told you, my heart is just fine.
Without that pacemaker, you could die any moment.
I can live with that.
[TICKING.]
[DINGS.]
[HUMMING.]
Nice tits.
