:19:05
I'm going.
- Do me the favor.

:19:23
You know, Axel, my little Polish
cupcake is very sensitive...

:19:28
...like the Eastern Europeans are.
:19:32
But she's very nice, right?
- Very nice, Leo.

:19:36
And you know how old she is?
- She's young.

:19:39
Damn right. That's success.
:19:41
To achieve that success, you need
to sell cars. - I don't want to.

:19:45
Axel, my father had the first Cadillac
dealership in Arizona in 1914!

:19:52
He had this magnificent dream,
to sell as many cars as he could,

:19:55
and stack them up until they got high
enough so he could walk to the moon.

:20:00
Isn't it beautiful? - Very beautiful,
Leo. But they'd topple over.

:20:05
That's what I said,
but he wanted me in the business,

:20:08
and I resisted,
like you're resisting me.

:20:10
I'm not resisting, Leo.
I just don't want to sell cars.

:20:14
What the hell are you afraid of?
- Nothing.

:20:22
One thing I was sure of,
:20:24
my uncle Leo was definitely
the hero of my childhood.

:20:28
The smell of his "Old Spice" carried
me back more than the home movies did.

:20:35
It was the sweet, cheap smell
of car dealers that took me back,

:20:40
and made me dissolve into the past.
:20:43
Leo was the last dinosaur
that smelled of cheap cologne.

:20:47
And he believed in the American dream.
:20:50
I was crazy about him,
because he believed in miracles.

:20:53
Even though he lived inside
of life and sold Cadillacs,

:20:57
he always looked like a 10-year-old
boy whose sleeves were too long.
