Example+Period+7

(Summary from Wikipedia) After 7 years at Marquette University, hard-partying D-student Thomas R. "Tommy" Callahan III returns to his hometown, Sandusky, Ohio. There, his proud father, industrialist Tom Callahan Jr. gives him an executive job at the family's auto parts plant. In addition to a job and an office, Tom Sr. reveals other surprises for his son: he is engaged to a woman he met, Beverly Barish-Burns, and that Tommy will soon have a stepbrother, Beverly's son Paul. The first major plot complication arrives when Tom Sr. suffers a heart attack during the wedding reception and dies. At a board meeting after the funeral, the bank reneges on loans Tom Sr. had negotiated to pay for a new break pad division, which he thought to be the future of the company. Fearing the death of his family's company, Tommy comes up with an idea: Give the bank his inheritance as collateral and then go on a cross-nation sales trip with his father's former assistant, Richard Hayden. Tommy and Richard, a childhood friend long envious of Tommy's ability to be lazy and yet be rewarded, hit the road in a last-ditch effort to save the company. They take off in Richard's 1969 Plymouth convertible, which is eventually destroyed during a series of mishaps. Meanwhile, during a quiet moment, a kiss reveals that Paul and Beverly are not son and mother. They are a married couple of con artists whose plan to steal from Tom Sr. has paid off early. Instead of eventually suing for divorce and taking half of Tom Sr.'s estate, Beverly has inherited the company and now seeks a quick sale to self-described "auto parts king" Ray Zalinsky. On the road, Tommy's comical social awkwardness and inexperience alienate a series of potential buyers. However, after using his innate persuasive powers to convince a surly waitress to serve him after the kitchen is closed, Richard notices Tommy's potential. The pair make sales and mend their fraying friendship. The final plot complication comes as Paul sabotages the company's computers so that in the ensuing chaos the sale to Zalinsky will go through despite Tommy's recent success. The climax comes in the Zalinsky boardroom in Chicago t he following day. At first, they are kicked out of the board room because Tommy has no standing, having given his shares to the bank. But, just as Tommy and Richard wallow on the curb in self-pity, a taxi pulls up with a breathless Michelle Brock. The Callahan Auto shipping clerk has proof that Paul and Beverly are married con artists. Tommy then devises a plan. Using some handy road flares, he dresses himself as a bogus suicide bomber and forces his way back into the Zalinsky building. In the board room, with a TV camera crew watching, Tommy coerces Zalinsky into signing a purchase order for "half-a-million" brake pads. There are cheers in Sandusky, where workers are watching the scene in Chicago unfold on a conveniently-placed television. After the TV crew leaves, Tommy admits his deception. Zalinsky says that the purchase order is meaningless because he will soon own the company. However, Michelle shows documents detailing Paul and Beverly's marriage and their criminal record. The group around the table works through the logic together: Beverly was never legally married to Tom Sr. because she was still married to Paul. Since the marriage wasn't valid, she can't inherit, so her shares really belong to Tommy. Tommy doesn't want to sell, so therefore the deal with Zalinsky is off. Tommy still holds Zalinsky's purchase order, meaning that he has saved the company which he now controls. The film ends with Paul on his way to jail, Beverly on her way to lunch with Zalinsky and Tommy introduced as the new president of Callahan Auto Inc. Tommy returns to his favorite spot - a small dinghy on a lake - where he asks the spirit of his late father for enough wind to blow him to shore to meet a dinner date with Michelle.
