Tommy is a vacuum cleaner salesman gripped by the fever of closing the deal. He lives on 'puffa puffa rice' stored in his glove compartment and listens to motivation tapes of his own voice shouting 'sell, sell, fuckin' sell'. He's sure the Golden Vac (the holy grail of vacuum salesmanship) can be his - if only he hadn't been saddled with Pete, a meek sales trainee trying to help his girlfriend quit stripping.
