This scene is a testament to how talented and versatile these two actors are. The frightening villains from "A History of Violence" and "Wait Until Dark" sitting together in a coffee shop, hatching a scheme in desperation. You can almost see them sweating
My dad was Ricky Roma..... kicking ass and winning all the sales incentives.... steak knives...... lol. He got trips Europe, Hawaii, calculators (were expensive in the 70s 1000 dollars), IBM desktops (4,000 dollars in the early 80s)
Worked in the AUTO Sales industry for years n the 70s & 80s . This catches the industry PERFECT ! No matter how many units U pushed out the door it wasn’t ENOUGH . When U have a great month your fellow sales people are JEALOUS . If U have a slow month Management treats U like s#$& ! It wears a person OUT !
This may or may not be the second time that Al Pacino has said someone to have a good trip in a movie, the first time being Scarface."So long Mel, have a good Trip." And he gets the same response as he does by Ed Harris , oddly enough.
The level of acting in this movie is fucking incredible 👏 every single actor in this played their part to perfection. Also, when Al Pacino says “have a good trip” who else got flashbacks to when tony montana shot frank and the cop 🤣
This is for everyone who convinces for a living. I’m a trial attorney, saw this when I was first starting. Watch it again to get going again. Just picture yourself as Jack Lemmon, do whatever it takes to win. It’s a tough racket!
If I was a salesman, I would save every penny I could and invest it, so I could retire early and never have to sell again. Can you imagine being one of these guys. I’d rather clean pig urine with a kleenex than have this kind of job.
What I always liked about Roma is how much he seemed to like his co-workers, yeah he had an ego but he seemed genuinely happy about Levine closing the deal. Always thought that was a nice little tidbit
Harriet and blah-blah Nyborg !
Harriet and Blah Blah Nyborg. ..
I used to be in sales and when a potential sale fell through, the crew would refer to the people as real Bruce and Harriet Nyborgs..
Did anyone else ctach the scarface line pacino says in this clip……..a clue, ‘ so long Mel…’

You're one 'C' away from 'LOSER' 😎☝🏻
They're probably gonna cancel
This scene IS one of my favorite ever. Underrated movie. JB makes this movie
It is so cool that Roma listened to Shelley's sale. Too bad that Shelley stole the leads LOL

3:50 is my favorite outburst. 😂

"You're eating a crumb cake, how was it?" "...from the store" "Fuck off"
Moss was a hothouse flower, that's his problem!
2:30 "SHUUUUT UP!!!!"
👁 👄👁 okay....
CLOSE = DEAL
Greatest film ever made
goddamn Jack Lemmon... amazing
The toughest job in the world being shown to you by a set of incomparable actors.
Its funny how the sales guys don't respect the cops at all, they are not nervous or worried, they just treat them with contempt. 😂😂
The way they just talk is a real thing
How fucked up you are lol Al Pacino famous line that dose
I haven't been a movie guy for years but would definitely take the time to watch this again. I don't know how it could possibly be better.

God I love Pacino’s dismissal and joy he takes pissing off Harris
All masters of the Art…
I don't think Al Pacino was ever as good as he was in this scene. Which I mean as high praise. He's amazing.
And Jack Lemon? Unreal. "Like you taught me." "Well, hey nobody every did, well but if I did I'm glad..." Master acting class.
The old guy got the fire because he stole the Leads... what a loser!

Dave didn’t have the brass balls needed to be a salesman. Fact.

The dialogue is such genius.
Moss used to work for Jerry Graf. What happened?
A.S.T.L. Always Steal the Leads ! Always - steal - the - leads Oh I got your attention now?
5:07 is Salesman sexual arousal...lol
That’s not a good work environment.
Harris was tough...whew...Shelley's soliloquy is sad and pitiful because we all have to prostitute ourselves in some kind of salesmen manner...painful
I miss Alan Arkin. RIP.
I miss really well made movies from the 70's 80's and 90's
"have a good trip" LOLLLL
Tour de Force acting ensemble on steroids.
Looks like Shelley is the only one in that office whom Ricky genuinely respects.
Lemmon deserve at least a nomination.
fuck the machine. fuck the machine? fuck the machine!
Rio Rancho!
Does Roma know the Niborgs are nuts?
I think he knows but a signed check is a signed check
Dave thinks he skimmed leads and sold 8 before selling em
