Essex, 1983. Meet Vincent Swan, double-glazing salesman extraordinaire. Smart, handsome and cocksure, Vincent will stop at nothing to get a sale. His team at Cachet Windows include Fitzpatrick, a smarmy reprobate who can charm the life savings out of anyone, and Lavender, a failed musician whose crippling politeness and moral backbone have a habit of getting in the way of a sale. The two take a bet on whether Fitzpatrick can 'sell ice to the Eskimos' - in other words, sell new windows to someone he has recently sold new windows to. Meanwhile, Vincent's attempt to convince an old colleague to join the double-glazing business takes an unexpected turn.
Lavender parie à Fitzpatrick qu'il ne peut pas vendre plus de nouvelles fenêtres à un client récent. Sam en a assez que Vincent place son travail avant sa famille.
לבנדר מתערב עם פיצפטריק שלא יצליח למכור עוד חלונות ללקוחה שלא מזמן מכר לה חלונות חדשים. סאם מוטרדת מכך שהעבודה תמיד חשובה לווינסנט יותר ממשפחתו.
Lavender scommette che Fitzpatrick non riuscirà a vendere altre finestre a uno degli ultimi clienti. A Sam non piace che Vincent metta il lavoro prima della famiglia.
Para vencer uma aposta, Fitzpatrick tem de vender mais janelas para um cliente que acabou de fazer uma compra. Sam reclama que Vincent dá pouco tempo à família.
Lavender le apuesta a Fitzpatrick que no podrá vender más ventanas al mismo cliente. Sam se enoja con Vincent porque siempre pone el trabajo antes que la familia.
