Be sure to read all instructions.
Glengarry Glen Ross depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen, who are supplied with names and phone numbers of potential clients (leads) rationed out by the office manager. They are not selling well. Blake (Alec Baldwin) is sent by Mitch and Murray (the owners of the real estate office) to motivate the salesmen.
Watch the Glengarry Glen Ross clip. You will find it in the “Unit 3: The Renaissance module.” (Please note: The clip contains profanity. It is not meant to offend, but to illustrate some ideas about Machiavelli.)
