Bert is sad when none of the guys who join him for a regular poker playing sessions want Rufus joining in.

Bert and Rufus arrange to have the diner franchised by a national restaurant chain. A handyman pretends to own the diner to impress his mother. "Give an inch and he'll demand a mile" is the idea behind THE GOOD GUYS. The inch is given to Niko, a handyman who is expecting a visit from his mother. He wants to pose as the diner's owner, and good guys Bert and Rufus agree. The mile he demands later is the diner itself.
