John From Cincinnati: Car Dealership Scene from Finale

Oh, so I’ve got to know what I mean before I can have a feeling. Do I have to know that you’ll understand me? Do you have to know you’ll understand before you’ll listen?

What do you think this scene is all about?
(leave a comment.)

This is weird stuff and you must listen carefully to this one (excellent show- must see).

DEALER: I feel that you boys are ready for this Camino ….

LINC: (Includes Jake) Between the two of us we own more cars than you have on this lot. My guess is that your feeling’s probably right.

Linc meant to put the Dealer off his pitch and thereby abbreviate their business; instead the Dealer bridles –

DEALER: That’s not what I mean by ready – number of vehicles owned.

Jake and Linc tag-team their message of impatience –

JAKE: What do you mean, Pops?

LINC: We got to, uh, boogie.

The Dealer comes over their top –

DEALER: Oh, so I’ve got to know what I mean before I can have a feeling. Do I have to know that you’ll understand me? Do you have to know you’ll understand before you’ll listen?

Which appears to put Jake in a different, passive state –

DEALER (to Linc): Twenty-five cars between you — you should’ve let me sit down before you told me. I got that many dealerships in each of that many sectors, and brands on goddamn franchise. I’ve got to boogie, me.

John indicates the Dealer, in whose rhythms and accents he reproaches Linc and Jake for their failure to take the Dealer’s premise on its face –

JOHN: He feels you’re ready for the Camino.

Where Jake’s gone, Linc has now gone too –

DEALER (to John) You’re off-line now, Country.

JOHN: I don’t know Butchie instead.

DEALER: (To Linc and Jake, re John) How’s he for high-performance? And he ain’t who’s worst-underpowered.

If the Dealer had suspenders he’d flex them to indicate who he means –

DEALER: Intrusions, evanescences – I’m a shepherd without crook or understanding. Fits and stops and starts. Waves and ripples and ramifications. Busted knee, mother-son handjob …. Christ, Jesus Christ Jesus Christ.

The Dealer’s tight smile is not fully persuasive –

DEALER: Crosses and shoulders to bear ‘em.

He smacks his hand on the El Camino –

DEALER: El Camino, fifteen thousand, as is.

Linc and Jake have regained their faculties –

LINC: Is it gassed?

JOHN: F**king-A right it’s gassed Linc.

As John puts on the counter the fifteen thousand dollars in hundred dollar bills which has materialized in his pocket the Dealer’s stern gaze goes to Linc –

DEALER: You and your twenty-five cars. Circle and line on the wall, and zeros and goddamned ones, is what to turn the both of your gifts to –

The Dealer’s “both” appears to include Jake –

DEALER: — and not one damn minute to waste.

JOHN: Ragheads are going to get themselves eradicated.

DEALER: (vigorously interrupting John) Country, I took you off-line. (calling off camera, re El Camino) Manuel, get a cage on this thing.

John leans over the hood of the El Camino and employs the entirety of his wingspan to offer it a hug. Off which –

force

 

force, originally uploaded by sanchezdot.

In physics, force is what causes a mass to accelerate. It may be experienced as a twist, a push, or a pull. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the vector sum of all forces acting on it (known as the net force or resultant force). In an extended body, force may also cause rotation, deformation, or an increase in pressure for the body. Rotational effects are determined by the torques, while deformation and pressure are determined by the stresses that the forces create
