"- My name is Nathan Fielder,"
Nathan for You
"small business owners make it in this competitive world."
Nathan for You
"But ever since a massive Best Buy moved in"
Nathan for You
"just minutes away from his tiny shop,"
Nathan for You
"to keep up with their aggressive pricing."
Nathan for You
"Speers TV is at risk of going extinct."
Nathan for You
"- Yeah. It's horrible."
Nathan for You
"but if Alen dropped his prices so low"
Nathan for You
"giving Alen a short window of time"
Nathan for You
"and then resell those TVs for any price he wants"
Nathan for You
"to get Speers an endless supply of $1 TVs."
Nathan for You
"- No, I honestly don't. No."
Nathan for You
"- We can both work on this, you know, full-time."
Nathan for You
"Alen was on board to move forward with dropping the price"
Nathan for You
"on one of his premium Samsung HD TV models"
Nathan for You
"to just $1 apiece,"
Nathan for You
"but once the new discounted price went into effect,"
Nathan for You
"So to help dissuade these bargain hunters"
Nathan for You
"I added a live alligator,"
Nathan for You
"With our preventative measures in place,"
Nathan for You
"so to maximize the number of TVs I could get Alen,"
Nathan for You
"to help make the purchases,"
Nathan for You
"so after printing out some flyers"
Nathan for You
"it was finally time for Alen"
Nathan for You
"so I met my team of buyers out back"
Nathan for You
"We were waiting in the front of the store."
Nathan for You
"- I knew some people might be a bit frustrated,"
Nathan for You
"so I offered up a list"
Nathan for You
"[breathing heavily]"
Nathan for You
"- The customer may have been determined,"
Nathan for You
"it was all over."
Nathan for You
"My plan was a success."
Nathan for You
"After presenting the flyer to sales associates,"
Nathan for You
"I actually have a price-match for this to get it for a dollar."
Nathan for You
"- Even with my confidence and negotiation skills,"
Nathan for You
"we don't have to take it lying down."
Nathan for You
"You're right. - As far as I'm concerned,"
Nathan for You
"- And how is that gonna work?"
Nathan for You
"We don't have a love life. - Yeah, but..."
Nathan for You
"- Alen was worried that Best Buy would retaliate"
Nathan for You
"because of my actions,"
Nathan for You
"but according to my research, suing was the only way"
Nathan for You
"Best Buy wouldn't be able to come after him for anything,"
Nathan for You
"I was moving forward with the lawsuit,"
Nathan for You
"with L.A.-based clinical psychologist"
Nathan for You
"Just be yourself. - All right. Okay."
Nathan for You
"- Mm-hmm."
Nathan for You

Nathan for You
"What did you get from him?"
Nathan for You
"- Yeah."
Nathan for You

Nathan for You
"- I'm seeing psychosis. Okay?"
Nathan for You
"- With proof of Alen's insanity in hand,"
Nathan for You
"a massive company like Best Buy,"
Nathan for You
"but he said there was one piece of evidence"
Nathan for You
"that could turn the tide to my favor."
Nathan for You
"that could testify as to the price-match policy"
Nathan for You
"that's relevant."
Nathan for You
"who was chosen to be her date,"
Nathan for You
"and because she mentioned she liked alternative music,"
Nathan for You
"on the Best Buy price-match policy."
Nathan for You
"Do you want to see a magic trick?"
Nathan for You
"- It's just a little... - Yeah."
Nathan for You
"- Okay."
Nathan for You
"it was time to see if I could get her to admit"
Nathan for You
"that there was something more going on with the Best Buy"
Nathan for You
"we have this, uh, price-match policy."
Nathan for You

Nathan for You
"- Oh, really? - Yeah."
Nathan for You
"- That's crazy."

Nathan for You
"- Okay."
Nathan for You
"and our case was crumbling before my very eyes."
Nathan for You
"I just couldn't get her words out of my head..."
Nathan for You
"and in that moment, I realized I'd become"
Nathan for You
"I became the worst guy."
Nathan for You
"I could've kept pursuing this lawsuit"
Nathan for You
"and tried again to get the court testimony I needed"
Nathan for You

Nathan for You
