With little cherries

in the middle.

- Cherries,

I like those cherries.

- Yeah, I like them too.

It's just really different.

Will you marry me?

What?

Was that a yes?

- Thank you.

- This was nice.

Yeah.

We just wanted to do it,

to make it official.

It's $39.50 each.

That includes

a generous tip.

Oh.

( chuckles )

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Thanks, mom.

- You're welcome, sweetheart.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sanford:

So the guy's not selling

And his kids are starving.

And he's sitting on the world's

Most valuable butcher shop.

But my dad wouldn't give up.

He used to say

"there's always a way

to convince a holdout."

You know?

I came around.

Sooner or later

everybody does.

- ( door opens )

- oh, david.

- Look who's here.

- Oh, speak of the devil.

Your grandfather

didn't come hat in hand

To ask me

to join the firm.

It was understood.

I understood it.

Your brother

understands it

and you do too.

We're happy here, okay?

- I'm subsidizing that.

- Yeah, only until

we get settled.

Settled?

You think she's happy here?

- Isn't she?

- You think she had

this dump in mind

When she left mineola?

When she laid eyes on you?

No, she had more in mind

And she deserves better.

She's a beautiful woman.

Just like your mother.

- Thanks for visiting.

- Thank you, honey.

I'd better get back to work.

How do you think my son can

afford to live like this?

What?

Sanford:

Take me to the airport.

Best of luck.

Do you have a place

picked out in new york yet?

Katie:
No.

Lawyer:

Then why did you

sell it?

David:

I guess I thought it was

what I should do.

And I went along

with my father's wishes

And I agreed to go

into the family business.

Some of our times square tenants

pay their rent in cash,

So you'll pick it up

in person.

- Solly, give him

the address of the luxor.

- Sure.

When you get down there,

you'll see why I'm sending you.

These people are not

really corporate.

But these properties need

to pay for themselves.

That is, until we

tear 'em down.

And ultimately

I think maybe you can

manage the whole area.

Well, it's good to have

you here, son.

You keep solly

in the loop, huh?

Lawyer:

Explain to

the jury, please,

What the family business

consisted of.

David:

My grandfather owned

land in midtown

Which was,

once upon a time, a farm.

And as the area developed,

We built apartments

and office buildings

And whatever

was appropriate

for the time.

Woman:
Here!

Lawyer:

What did you do for

the marks organization?

Um, some leasing,

but mostly

You know,

Bookkeeping.

Man:

I followed the kid

all night.

Massage parlors,

peep shows,

Porn theaters.

All people see are

the fancy office towers.

But marks owns some

of the worst buildings

in times square.

- He's the problem.

- What do you want from me?

We need to take

the offensive, mr. Mayor.

- Let me use the police.

- Relax, sidney.

We'll get what we want.

Remember,

We're just

the custodians.

This guy owns the place.

- ( keys jingle )

- david:
Ow.

- Katie:
My eyes are closed.

- Close your eyes.

- My eyes are closed.

- I swear to god,

If I'm going to be

a captain of industry,

We might as well

enjoy the perks.

- You're looking.

- No I'm not.

Okay.

- Do you want to count it down?

- You do it.

- Five...

- Mm-hmm.

...Four, three,

Two,

One.

Open them.

Oh.

Ohh.

( laughs )

oh my gosh.

You like it up there

or you want to come down?

- I want to come down.

- Come on down.

Hi.

It's gonna be

so beautiful here.

Do you ever think

about having kids?

Come on.

Don't you want

a little david

Running around the house?

Pulling at your toes

in the morning?

Smushing food

in your hair?

Are you saying no?

Can't we just talk more

about the apartment

And, you know,

Whether this is going

to be a dining room

or a living room?

Or... You know?

Are you saying "not now"

about kids

Or not ever?

Not ever.

( groans )

David...

Is there something

wrong with you?

Yeah.

There is something

wrong with me.

( david murmuring )

Are you saying no?

( murmuring continues )

David?

Yeah?

Are you okay?

Lawyer:

David, did you

ever have

Any kind

of psychiatric

treatment?

David:

Well, after my mother died,

I was sent to psychiatrists.

A lot of them, actually.

I didn't find them

very helpful.

Was there anyone

in your life

With whom you did

talk openly about

your past?

David, you cocksucker!

Get over here

and give me a hug.

boogie!

get down,

boogie oogie oogie...

- How are you?

- get down

boogie oogie oogie

get down

- boogie oogie oogie...

- look at her.

I swear to god,

I had no idea

That people like her

even existed.

She's perfect.

( laughs )

what do you mean by perfect?

I mean there's nothing that

I do that she doesn't like.

She hasn't known you

long enough.

It must be so exciting,

having your first book

published?

You know, I was thinking

of taking some classes.

- Maybe premed.

- How's, uh...

How's david doing

working for his dad?

Oh, he doesn't say

or he just says "okay."

Well, that's him.

It's like--

Like when he lost his mother.

- When did she pass away?

- Pass away?

She jumped off the roof,

Cracked her skull open like

a walnut on the driveway.

David saw the whole thing.

He hid under a table for a week.

When he came out, it was...

It was like he never had one.

One what?

A mother.

And... And that was it.

Excuse me, katie.

Woman:
Smile.

She's very sweet.

- Unbelievable.

- What?

You're the only person

I know that can say "sweet"

like you're cursing.

I did--

sweet is a great thing.

- I wish I was sweet.

- Yeah, I wish you

were sweet too.

- Mm-hmm.

- What'd you say to her?

Nothing.

I didn't say

anything to her.

- We were just talking.

I just met her.

- Nothing? Mm-hmm.

Anyway.

I've missed you.

Quit it!

I'm being sweet.

I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

You surprised me a little.

You're married to

a nice blonde shiksa?

- ( laughing )

- well, I wouldn't put it

like that.

You're working for--

you're working for

your dad, david?

Which you said

you'd never do.

- When's the baby shower?

- Come on.

You know, it's still me.

Does that girl know

how f***ed up you are?

No, we're gonna--

we're gonna straighten

you out, david.

We are.

I know a great therapist

And you're gonna

love her because...

Because she does house calls.

( screaming )

Try to focus

on your breathing.

It's not

so much the memory,

but the feeling--

The feeling

the memory evokes.

- ( exhales )

- okay okay?

- Again?

- Yeah.

( david screaming )

( screaming continues )

- ( lighter flicks )

- sh*t.

Jesus.

Lawyer:

How did you

and katie feel

About your new life

in the city?

David:

Well, new york commercial

real estate is very,

You know,

it's button-down

and white shoe,

And I really wasn't

set up for that.

But katie seemed

to like the city

And she'd fixed up

the apartment and...

And eventually

we even ended up
