male narrator: THERE'S
A WHOLE NEW BREED OF GAMBLER... - STARTING TO PISS ME OFF.
- SADDLE UP! narrator:
WHO RISK EVERYTHING TO HAUL THE MOST UNUSUAL ITEMS. - WAH! - THIS THING IS JUST
AN ABSOLUTE BEAST. narrator: ONE WRONG MOVE,
AND THEY COULD LOSE IT ALL. BUT IF THE BID IS RIGHT... - I'M GOING 1,000.
- BOO-YAH! narrator:
THE REWARDS CAN BE HUGE. - MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY,
MORE MONEY. - [laughs] narrator: ON THIS EPISODE
OF<i> SHIPPING WARS...</i> - I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
ONE OF THESE. - EXPECT A LOT OF NOISE
AND A LOT OF TALKING. - THEY'RE NOT PRISTINE
LIKE I WAS EXPECTING. I'LL JUST KEEP HALF THE MONEY. - WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
WHEN IT HAS TO FLY? [metal clanking] - IT'S MY NEW MISSION
IN LIFE TO SHUT YOU
THE [bleep] DOWN. NO MATTER WHAT, AT ALL COSTS,
I WILL GET THESE LOADS. NICKELS HOLDING UP A DOLLAR.
LET'S GO. - I DON'T GET INTIMIDATED BECAUSE I WAS RAISED
TO BE TOUGH. [camel grunts]
AH! - I'M VERY MUCH
AN AMATEUR AT THIS. I'M DEFINITELY HAVING
AN "OH, [bleep]," MOMENT HERE. - YEE-HAW! EVERY TIME
I WIN A BID, MAN, IT'S JUST LIKE
I JUST HIT THE JACKPOT. - IT'S ABOUT MAKING MONEY. WE'RE LOGISTICS SPECIALISTS. JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE. OH, YEAH. - COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I WOKE UP
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THOUGHT I WAS HAVING
THE BIG ONE... ONLY TO FIND OUT
THAT MY HEART WAS FINE, BUT MY GALLBLADDER LOOKED LIKE
A BOX OF ROCKS, AND SO THEY PULLED IT OUT. I QUIT SMOKING ON THE SPOT. DOCTOR SAID, YOU KNOW,
"YOU GOT TO QUIT EATING"-- ALL THAT STUFF
THAT I USED TO EAT, LIKE DEEP-FRIED
CHICKEN GIZZARDS. - MM, I THINK MAYBE YOU SHOULD
BE EATING SOME FRUIT. - OKAY, THOSE WERE GOOD. narrator: EVERY DAY
AT THE SAME TIME, THE ONLINE POSTING BOARD USHIP SENDS OUT THE BEST LOADS
UP FOR BID TO TRANSPORTERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FIRST JOB UP FOR BID: A POWERED PARACHUTE. - OH, I'VE SEEN THESE
A COUPLE TIMES. - IT'S LIKE A THREE-WHEELED
GO-CART WITH A PARACHUTE ON TOP OF IT. - THE ONE THAT WE'RE
ACTUALLY SHIPPING IS A LITTLE OLDER MODEL,
BUT IT FLIES GREAT, AND IT WEIGHS ABOUT
400 POUNDS. TO SHIP THIS, IT IS GOING
TO TAKE SOME SPECIAL CARE. - CAN WE JUST ROLL IT
INTO THE TRAILER? - GOING FROM WHARTON, TEXAS,
TO SAINT GEORGE, UTAH. - I'D LIKE TO TAKE MY WIFE
UP IN THE AIR AND JUST HAVE SOME FUN. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS. I'M VERY EXCITED
TO GET IT HERE FINALLY. narrator: THIS FLYING MACHINE WILL BE TRAVELING
OVER 1,500 MILES FROM WHARTON, TEXAS,
TO WASHINGTON, UTAH, WITHIN FIVE DAYS. - I THINK I'LL START IT OUT
AT 3,500. 1,600 MILES. THAT'S EASY.
NO PROBLEM. - HE'S GONNA LOOK PRETTY FUNNY SITTING IN THERE
WITH HIS GRAY LOCKS FLAPPING IN THE BREEZE. - MAYBE WE CAN LAND IT
DOWN ON THE TRAILER. THIS POWER CHUTE WOULD ONLY
TAKE UP 1/3 OF OUR TRAILER. MORE SPACE MEANS MORE MONEY. - I'D BE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE FAN PART. - I COULD KNOCK 500 OFF OF THIS. - JARRETT WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM
FINDING THE PLACE. - I CAN ALWAYS RENT
A BIGGER TRAILER. - I DON'T LIKE HOW FAST
THESE BIDS ARE DROPPING. - THROW IT RIGHT UP HERE
ON THE UPPER DECK. WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS HERE. - A PARACHUTE ON THE BACK
OF MY TRAILER? THAT'S THE LAST THING I NEED. - I'M GONNA PUT IN 2,100. - JUST LOWBALL HIM. LET'S JUST SCREW WITH ROY. - IT'S GOT TO PAY. THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT. - IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH IT
ANYMORE. - SO IT'S JUST BETWEEN ME,
CHRIS AND ROBBIE. - WE WON'T GET STUCK WITH THIS. - DON'T KNOW. YOU BETTER BE RIGHT. WE BETTER NOT GET SCREWED BECAUSE CHRIS IS HAVING FUN. - WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO
ABOUT THAT? - WHAT A SUCKER. I LOVE MAKING PEOPLE
WORK FOR NOTHING. - LOAD AND GO.
IT'S GONNA BE PRETTY SIMPLE. narrator:
NEXT ITEM UP FOR BID: AN AFRICAN GREY PARROT
NAMED SAMMY. - HOW HARD CAN IT BE
TO SHIP A PARROT? - I'VE HAD A PIG
RIDE IN THE CAB WITH ME. IT WOULD GIVE ME SOMEBODY
TO TALK TO. - SAMMY'S A GOOD TALKER. HE CAN SPEAK
JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. IT WAS MY SON'S BIRD. BUT NOW IT'S TIME
FOR SAMMY TO GO HOME. SAMMY'S ANXIOUS,
SO TIME COUNTS. - THEY'RE, LIKE,
THE SMARTEST BIRDS IN THE WORLD. - "CANNOT BE IN THE OPEN
OR DRAFTED AREAS." WELL, THAT ALWAYS MAKES IT
NICE ON A FLATBED. - IT'S A LONG WAY. - WE BOUGHT HIM
WHEN HE WAS A BABY. HE WAS INJURED. HE LEARNS YOUR ROUTINE,
SO IF YOU'RE UP AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING
AND YOU DON'T GET UP AT 6:00 THE NEXT DAY,
HE'S LETTING YOU KNOW. I THINK HE'S INTELLIGENT
TO A POINT THAT HE CAN PUT THINGS
TOGETHER. narrator:
FOR THE BIRD'S WELL-BEING, IT CANNOT BE TRAVELING
IN A VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN FOUR DAYS. IT'LL LEAVE FROM SUMMIT HILLS,
PENNSYLVANIA, AND ARRIVE IN BEVERLY HILLS,
FLORIDA. - MAYBE HE COULD TEACH GIX HERE
HOW TO TALK. - WOULDN'T YOUR DOG, LIKE,
EAT THE BIRD? - AS LONG AS THE PARROT
DOESN'T TALK, I'LL PUT IT ON MY SEAT. - YOU GUYS ARE RIDICULOUS. I COULD DO THIS
FOR A LOT CHEAPER. - SHE JUST TOOK
EVERY BIT OF THE PROFIT OUT OF THAT JOB. - YOU KNOW WHAT? I NEED TO DO MORE LIVESTOCK. - I'M GONNA NEED A LOT MORE
THAN $1,200 TO DEAL WITH A TALKING BIRD
FOR THAT MANY MILES. - I'LL PICK UP A SIDE LOAD. THIS WILL JUST BE EXTRA MONEY
IN MY POCKET. - I'M NOT LISTENING
TO A PARROT YAK FOR 1,000. "PULL OVER.
PULL OVER." [laughs] "I GOT TO PEE." - JUST A LITTLE OVER
1,000 MILES. THIS IS EAST COAST. THIS HAS GOT MY NAME
WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. - JARRETT--
I WILL STILL HAVE MY WHOLE TRAILER TO FILL UP. - I'M NOT GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY IF I GO LOWER THAN 900. - I LOVE ANIMALS WAY TOO MUCH TO LET JARRETT KILL THIS BIRD. THESE PEOPLE NEED SOMEONE
WHO CAN HANDLE ANIMALS, AND THAT'S ME. I'M SUPER EXCITED
THAT THIS ANIMAL'S GONNA BE ABLE TO TALK TO ME. IT SHOULD BE, HOPEFULLY,
A LOT OF FUN, 'CAUSE I BEEN REALLY BORED
ON THE ROAD. HI, LINDA. JENNIFER.
NICE TO MEET YOU. - NICE TO MEET YOU TOO,
JENNIFER. OKAY, AND HERE'S SAMMY. - [gasps] - PRETTY NICE BIRD.
- HI! - SAMMY AND I,
WE'RE CLOSE. BEEN WATCHING HIM, LIKE,
FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS. HE'S BEEN WITH US A LONG TIME, SO THAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL. WE'RE VERY ATTACHED TO SAMMY. - HOW MANY WORDS DOES HE KNOW? - OH, I COULDN'T EVEN
BEGIN TO COUNT THEM, AND THEY'RE ALL GOOD ONES. ARE YOU A GOOD BIRD, SAM? I THINK HE'S
A LITTLE CAMERA SHY. WHAT DO YOU THINK? - DOES HE BITE? - WELL, HE MIGHT BITE YOU. - HE'S NOT GONNA BITE ME. ANIMALS ALWAYS LOVE ME. I'M THE ANIMAL WHISPERER. WHAT ALL AM I TRANSPORTING? - YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THE CAGE. DO YOU NEED HELP WITH THAT? READY.
OKAY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, WHAT TIME TO FEED HIM
OR ANYTHING. YOU JUST HAVE TO
KEEP HIS DISH FULL. IT DOESN'T EVEN REALLY
HAVE TO BE FULL. AND THEN HE'LL JUST EAT
WHEN HE'S HUNGRY. I HAVE BUNGEE CORDS. YOU COULD JUST BUNGEE IT
RIGHT TO THAT. - ACTUALLY, I'M GONNA DO IT JUST A LITTLE MORE SECURE
THAN THAT. THIS LADY--SHE'S HOVERING.
SHE'S IN MY WAY. - GONNA BE PARTICULAR. GONNA COVER IT UP
WITH A BLANKET TOO. PROFESSIONAL. GOT IT? - OH, I CAN DO A MAN'S JOB. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'VE ALREADY MESSED UP. LET ME THINK. CAN YOU-- OKAY. - YOU NEED HELP OVER THERE? - NO, MA'AM, I GOT IT.
- MM-HMM. - I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. GIVE ME SOME SPACE. - OH, I SEE WHAT
YOU'RE GONNA DO. - YOU WANT TO SEE HOW STURDY
THIS IS? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO LOOK
AND APPROVE OF IT. - NOT BAD. - LET'S GO AHEAD
AND GET HIM LOADED. - OKAY.
BEFORE HE GETS TOO COLD. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. - I WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM,
I PROMISE. - YEAH, AND YOU JUST TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF. - KISS MY GRITS.
KISS MY GRITS. HE'S GONNA HAVE TO STAY WITH ME
IN THE HOTEL ROOMS, AND HOPEFULLY WE BECOME FRIENDS. - THIS IS ROY
FROM ARBIE'S TEAM TRANSPORT. I'M COMING TO GET
THAT POWERCHUTE THING YOU GUYS ARE SHIPPING. - YOU SCOTT?
- HEY, HOW YOU DOING? - HOW YOU DOING? - NOW, I HAVE TWO CARS
THAT ARE GOING IN HERE NEXT. - YEAH. - YOU THINK THAT'LL FIT
IN THERE? - FROM THIS LEVEL?
- YEP. - UM...
UM... UM... - MM, OBVIOUSLY HE DOESN'T LIKE
THAT IDEA. - THIS IS THE ONE
WE'RE GONNA SHIP. - OH, THAT AIN'T GONNA FIT. IT'S NOT GONNA FIT
WHERE I WANTED IT ORIGINALLY BECAUSE OF THE FAN THING ON IT. - ANY IDEAS? - ANY IDEAS... - SHOULD BE ABLE
TO COME APART AND FIT, SO THAT'LL GIVE ME
32 FEET OF SPACE THAT I CAN MAKE EXTRA MONEY ON. WHAT I'M THINKING IS, WE NEED
TO BREAK THIS THING DOWN QUITE A BIT. - UM...
UM... - IT'S NOT LEGOS
YOU CAN PUT BACK TOGETHER. THIS THING FLIES. - UM... UM... NO. OH.
EH. - YOU GOT IT? UM... - TIME FOR SOME NEW TREAD
ON THEM FEET, ISN'T IT, OLD MAN? - GOT TO COME BACK TOWARDS YOU. ALL RIGHT, NOW,
AS I FOLD IT THIS WAY, YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
HAVE TO SLIDE THAT ASS END TOWARDS HIM. [metal screeching] PICK IT UP. KEEP IT UP IN THE AIR.
KEEP IT UP IN THE AIR. GOING IN. [metal screeching] - AWESOME. WAY TO GO, BABY. - PERFECT, JUST LIKE ME. - I'M REALLY HAPPY. I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO FLYING. - I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
TO SAY THAT ALL DAY. - I HOPE THAT POWER CHUTE'S MORE
DEPENDABLE THAN YOUR TRUCK! OH, WAIT. DO I? - I HOPE YOU GOT
YOUR DEPENDS ON. [laughs] - THAT'S ALMOST AS MUCH FUN
AS I'VE HAD WITH MY CLOTHES ON
IN A LONG TIME. - [gags] - THANK YOU FOR THE RIDE. - HEY, IT WAS MY PLEASURE. COME BACK ANYTIME. - WELL, HELLO, BEAUTIFUL. I AM SO EXCITED; IT'S MY
FIRST NIGHT WITH THIS BIRD. I'M GONNA TALK
TO THIS THING ALL NIGHT. HI--
OW! SAMMY'S A BAD BOY. <i> HOLA, COMO ESTAS?</i> DO I SOUND LIKE A WHITE GIRL? TALK. [clucking] - SHE KNOWS THAT'S NOT
A CHICKEN, RIGHT? - [clucking] - RIGHT? - I DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN TALK. - HE DOES NOT LIKE YOU. - HE'S PULLING OUT HIS... FEATHERS. - JEN, I THINK THAT BIRD'S
GONNA CHEW HIS ARM OFF TO GET AWAY FROM YOU. - OKAY, LET'S GO NIGHT-NIGHT. - WELL, NOW I'VE GOT TO GO UP
TO UPPER-STATE TEXAS, PICK UP A COUPLE OF CARS. I USED TO HAVE
ONE OF THESE THINGS. IS THAT FOR SALE? - THE EL CAMINO? PROBABLY A LOT MORE
THAN YOU'D WANT TO PAY. - HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR IT?
- 6,000. - YEAH.
MORE THAN I WANT TO PAY. - ROY'S AN INTERESTING GUY. - "INTERESTING." WELL, THAT'S ONE WAY TO PUT IT. - SO WHAT ARE WE SHIPPING? - AN AMPHICAR. IT'S A THIN STEEL BOAT. THEY WERE MADE BETWEEN 1961
AND 1967. ABOUT 2,200 WERE BUILT. - LITTLE. YELLOW.
UGLY. - I LIKE TO BUILD THEM
FROM THE GROUND UP. HADN'T HAD TIME TO FINISH. THEY'RE NO LONGER MY PASSION. I'M TRYING TO BE RETIRED NOW. THINK IT'LL REACH ALL THE WAY? - PERFECT, JUST LIKE ME. - WELL, IT'S NOT THAT PERFECT. - WELL, NO, IT'S PRETTY CLOSE,
BUT-- - WELL, YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING
PAST THE OLD MAN. HE'S BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH
TO SEE THROUGH THAT CRAP. - I'M GONNA PULL IT IN;
YOU DRIVE IT. THAT WAY,
IF YOU HIT ANYTHING, IT'S ON YOU AND NOT ME. [metal creaking] [metal clangs] BREAK! - WHAT HAPPENED TO PERFECT,
HUH, ROY? - I SAW THAT CUT IN THAT STRAP. I WAS HOPING IT'D HOLD OUT,
BUT IT DIDN'T. WE'LL GET A REAL STRAP. [motor whirs] NOW THAT THOSE
ARE ALL PICKED UP, WE'RE HEADED TO COLORADO. - OW! - I MEAN, THE OWNER DID WARN YOU
ABOUT THE BITING. - DON'T BE A TURD. SAMMY. YOU'RE HURTING MY FEELINGS. I'M PICKING UP
A HORSE CARRIAGE IN VIRGINIA. I HOPE IT FITS IN MY TRAILER. ARE YOU TIFFANY? - NICE TO MEET YOU.
- NICE TO MEET YOU. SO WHAT'S THE STORY
WITH THE CARRIAGE? - CARRIAGE IS BASED
OFF OF AN AMISH DESIGN. IT WAS MEANT TO BE
A SHOW VEHICLE. WE'RE HAVING A BABY IN JUNE--
BABY GIRL-- AND SO WE'RE TRYING
TO GET RID OF SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE DOING
ANYMORE. - OKAY, SO WHERE WOULD I PULL? LIKE, START UP AT THE FRONT? - PULL IT LIKE A HORSE.
PRETEND YOU'RE LIKE A HORSE. - WELL, IT'S A GOOD
BUTT WORKOUT. - GIDDYAP, JEN. - OH, MY GOODNESS. SURE. HELLO. HELLO, PRETTY BOY. WARM UP TO ME. YOU'RE THE ONLY ANIMAL
THAT HASN'T. HE'S STILL NOT TALKING. WE SPENT THE NIGHT TOGETHER. YOU DON'T LIKE ME, DO YOU? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. OKAY. - IT'S A BIRD WITH A BRAIN
THE SIZE OF A PEA. WHO CARES
IF IT'S REJECTING YOU? [metal clanks] - WOW, THAT'S BAD, AIN'T IT? [metal clanks] I'M LOSING MY DUALLY. I JUST HAD BRAND-NEW TIRES PUT ON THIS THING IN SARASOTA. I BET YOU THEM STUPID [bleep]
FORGOT TO TIGHTEN IT. YEP, RUINED THEM. ALL THE THREADS ARE GONE. THAT MEANS THESE WON'T
TIGHTEN UP TO HOLD IT. IT'LL KEEP COMING LOOSE, FALL OFF ON ME. THOSE THINGS COME OFF
IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DOING 50 MILES AN HOUR, PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE. MANNY'S TIRES. IS THIS MANNY? OKAY, YOUR BOYS
DIDN'T TIGHTEN DOWN THE DRIVER'S REAR TIRE, AND IT RUINED THE STUDS,
THE LUG NUTS-- EVERYTHING ON THE BACK
OF THIS TRUCK. WELL, I'VE GOT TO
TAKE IT SOMEWHERE AND HAVE IT FIXED, AND I'M GONNA HAVE THEM
SEND THE BILL TO YOU. - NICE NEGOTIATING SKILLS, ROY. - OH, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
PAY THAT? OKAY, THEN IT'S MY NEW
LIFE AND MISSION TO SHUT YOU THE [bleep] DOWN. [parrot squawks] - I'M FINALLY ABLE
TO DROP OFF THIS CARRIAGE. I'VE HAD IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. WATCH WHEN I, LIKE,
TAKE IT OFF, LIKE, ALL FOUR WHEELS JUST,
LIKE, COME OFF. - YOU THINK YOUR CUSTOMER
WOULD THINK THAT WAS FUNNY TOO? - THAT WOULD SUCK. THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE. - HI, THERE. - I'M JENNIFER.
- I'M SUSAN. - NICE TO MEET YOU.
- NICE TO MEET YOU, SUSAN. YOU WANT TO COME
LOOK AT THE CARRIAGE? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA USE IT FOR? - WE HAVE GYPSY VANNER HORSES, AND I JUST DON'T HAVE A CART
BIG ENOUGH FOR HER. OH, WOW. IT IS EXCITING. - I CAN START UNDOING
ALL OF THIS STUFF. - THE CARRIAGE
IS GONNA BE USED FOR SHOWS, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO GO INTO
MAYBE DOING SOME WEDDINGS. - YAY. - IF YOU WANT
TO PUT THE SHAFTS ON, WE CAN DO THAT. WOW, THAT'S DUSTY. - THAT WAS LIKE THAT. - EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE. JUST DUSTY. 700, 800. - AWESOME. THANK YOU, SUSAN. [horse whinnies] - THE WHEELS AND THE LUG NUTS AND THE FUEL. - WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS
I'VE HAD, IT'S PUT ME A WEEK BEHIND. - IF I CAN GET A SIGNATURE HERE
AND INITIAL THAT. - YOU'RE GETTING PRETTY GOOD
AT SIGNING THOSE CHECKS. TOO BAD YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY. - I'M BEHIND SCHEDULE
QUITE A FEW DAYS NOW, SO NOW WE'RE TRYING TO GET THESE TWO AMPHIBIOUS CARS
DROPPED OFF. I GUESS THIS IS HIM. - HEY, ROY.
- HEY, HOW YOU DOING? - GOOD. I'VE GOT A NEIGHBOR
WHO'S WILLING TO HELP PUSH. - PUSH THEM WHERE? ALL I DO IS UNLOAD THEM. - OH, WAIT A MINUTE HERE. UNLOAD?
- THAT'S IT. - NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO. WELL, I'LL JUST KEEP
HALF THE MONEY THEN. - THEN I'LL KEEP HALF THE CARS. - WELL, THIS AIN'T
WORKING OUT AT ALL, SO YOUR CALL. - ALL RIGHT. NOBODY GETS SPECIAL TREATMENT
FROM ME. WHAT THEY CALL ME
IS AN EQUAL-OPPORTUNITY HATER. I HATE EVERYBODY EQUALLY. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK I AM? A [bleep] INTERIOR DESIGNER? THEY PAY ME TO SHIP IT,
AND THAT'S IT. OVER. - JUST MAKE SURE
TO STEER THEM RIGHT. YOU KNOW, DON'T NEED
ANY CRASHES. - GO AHEAD AND GET IN IT?
- YEAH. - YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR. - HERE WE GO. - WELL, AT ONE POINT,
I WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL AMPHICAR
OWNER'S CLUB. THESE WERE MARKETED
AS A SPORTS CAR THAT SWIMS. HOPEFULLY, AT SOME POINT, I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO RESTORE THESE TWO. THAT'LL WORK. - SOMEBODY OWES ME SOME MONEY. - WELL, THEY'RE NOT PRISTINE
LIKE I WAS EXPECTING. - YEAH, WELL, CALL THE GUY
I PICKED THEM UP FROM. - ROY'S HAPPY TO BE
AT YOUR SERVICE. - THERE'S YOUR BILL. DELIVERED ON TODAY'S DATE
WITH NO DRIVER DAMAGE. - 1,400. I WOULD HAVE LIKED ROY TO BE A LITTLE BIT
MORE PROFESSIONAL. CUSTOMER SERVICE, TO ME, MEANS MORE THAN JUST THROWING
THE CARS OUT AND LEAVING. - WHEN YOU DELIVER
PIECES OF [bleep] LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT INSPECTION. I COULD HAVE TAKEN A KEY
AND KEYED BOTH THOSE CARS; HE WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN. - I'M DROPPING OFF
THE AFRICAN GREY PARROT. I'M HAPPY TO FINALLY
GET HIM THERE 'CAUSE HE'S BITING ME EVERY TIME I STICK
MY HAND IN THE CAGE. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO WIN
THIS BIRD OVER FOR THREE DAYS... [parrot squawks] HEY. AND FAILED. BAD SAMMY. THIS BIRD CLEARLY HAS ISSUES. - HI.
- HI. - ARE YOU WILLIAM?
- HOW YOU DOING? - HI, I'M JENNIFER.
NICE TO MEET YOU. WELL, YOU WANT TO GO
LOOK AT HIM? [parrot chirps] SAMMY RESISTED ME
THE ENTIRE TIME. - YES, KISSES? AH, AH, AH. - THIS GUY JUST REACHED HIS HAND
INSIDE THE CAGE, GRABS SAMMY, STARTS CUDDLING WITH IT
UNDER HIS NECK. - OKAY, OKAY. - ALL RIGHT. - DUDE, LIKE-- - OH... - REJECTED. - I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING, SAMMY. WHY ARE WE NOT FRIENDS? - OKAY, SO 450
FOR THE SHIPMENT. - OKAY. - ONCE YOU GET BROKE DOWN
AND YOU HAVE DELAYS, COURSE, YOU'RE LOSING
TIME AND MONEY. I'LL BE GLAD TO GET RID
OF THIS POWERCHUTE THING. IT'S BEEN ON MY TRAILER
WAY TOO LONG. YOU TYLER?
- YEP. HOW YOU DOING, ROY? SO YOU MADE IT,
MADE THE TRIP. - YEAH, BARELY. - SO ALL OF IT'S UP THERE, EH? - YEP, THERE'S ABOUT 30 PIECES
THERE. YOU THREE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO PULL THIS THING RIGHT OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
- YEAH. - WHOA.
- MOVE IT SLOWLY. NOW, THIS BACK IS REAL HEAVY. YOU GUYS GOT IT? - SET IT ON THAT MAT THERE,
SPENCE. NOW FOR THE HARD PART. - THIS JUST SLIDES THROUGH. THIS GOES RIGHT THERE. THESE TWO HERE FOLD UP.
SEE WHAT I MEAN? STRUTS ALL GO THERE. JUST TRYING TO TELL THEM HOW TO PUT THE DAMN THING
BACK TOGETHER. FAN BOLTS.
- OKAY. - MONKEYS COULD HAVE DONE IT. - SO THESE WERE JUST WIRE-TIED
TOGETHER, OR WERE THEY-- - NO, NO, THERE'S BOLTS. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. MAKES THE WHOLE THING FLY. GOES LIKE THAT. THAT'S HOW THEY ALL GO. - YEAH.
YEP. - PRETTY EASY
TO PUT BACK TOGETHER. - YOU WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE
IN THIS THING AFTER YOU SHOWED THEM HOW
TO PUT IT TOGETHER? - THAT'S WHAT YOU OWE ME. - OKAY. - IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN THAT, BUT I'LL BE NICE. - I WAS GONNA TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THAT. - NOPE, NO DISCOUNT. - UM... I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST-- THERE SHOULD BE
SOME NEGOTIATION, JUST IT BEING A WEEK LATE. IT'S NOT REALLY MY FAULT... - NOT MINE EITHER. - THAT YOU BROKE DOWN. - OKAY, I'LL GIVE YOU $10 OFF. 390. - 390. I'VE GOT TWENTIES,
SO CAN WE DO 380? - 380 IT IS. - 380 IT IS. - NOW YOU CAN GO OUT
AND BUY A 12-PACK OF BEER. I DON'T GIVE DISCOUNTS. I ENDED UP GIVING HIM $20 OFF,
WHICH WAS AN INSULT, BUT... AND THERE'S YOUR RECEIPT.
- OKAY. - THANK YOU VERY MUCH. - I GUESS IT PAYS
TO BE AN ORNERY [bleep]. - I'M HAPPY GETTING IT HERE
FINALLY AND CAN'T WAIT TO START FLYING. - SETBACKS, DELAYS,
DEALING WITH IDIOTS-- YEAH, IT'S ALL PART OF MY JOB. narrator:
ROY BROUGHT IN $1,400 FOR EACH OF HIS TWO LOADS, BUT AFTER A MODEST DISCOUNT, DELAYS, TRUCK REPAIRS,
AND EXPENSES, HE MADE A PROFIT OF $1,380. JENNIFER HAD THE BETTER RUN. AFTER BRINGING IN A TOTAL
OF $1,600 WITH HER TWO LOADS, SHE HAD ONLY $600 IN EXPENSES, LEAVING HER WITH
A TOTAL OF $1,000 FOR THREE DAYS OF WORK. - YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE
IN THIS BUSINESS, YOU'RE GONNA RELY
ON MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. THINGS HAPPEN--
OH, WELL. I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T
DEAL WITH IT, YOU'RE GONNA GO CRAZY. YOU'RE GONNA GO TOTALLY GRAY
BY THE TIME YOU'RE 45. OH, I AM, HUH? - IT WAS SUCH
A REALLY SWEET REUNION. [cheers and applause] I AM A LITTLE SAD
TO SEE SAMMY GO, BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY
HE'S REUNITED.
