Big Daddy
- Hello?
- Sonny, it's your dad You asleep?
No. Hey, man. I was exercising.
- Bullshit You were sleeping
- I wasn't.
This kid won't stop lying to me
You still act like you're six
Yeah, okay, Dad
I act like I'm six
Found a job yet, where
you work more than one day a week?
I've been looking
Looking won't pay the rent
All the money I won
from the cab accident
is kicking ass
in the stock market, so relax
- Don't blow it on worthless crap
- I won't
You should spend it on your bar exam
You're the lawyer
I ain't taking a bar exam
I got too much other sh*t going on
I don't know what happened to you
your girlfriend, Vanessa?
Things are going fine.
Sh*t!
I gotta go.
Sh*t! You turned off
the alarm clock again.
No! I mean, yes, I did,
but I thought you needed more sleep.
I shouldn't have stayed here.
That was a jerk thing to do.
Why are you going to work?
It's Sunday.
I'm not going to work. I'm going to
brunch with potential clients.
That's how a party planner
gets business, by making contacts.
Meet with me. I'll order in
from Cozy's. We'll have fun.
I am sick of Cozy's.
You order in from there all the time.
The delivery guy's your best friend.
He happens to be pretty damn nice.
This is a rough patch in my life.
Syracuse is 0 and 3.
And I got those medical problems.
Medical problems?
A cab runs over your foot two years ago.
You're hospitalized one night.
First of all, that cab was huge.
And a jury decided that one night
of pain was worth $200,000.
- So there you go.
- Whatever.
Why are you being
so nuts to me lately?
You refuse to move on
to the next phase.
I'd like to have a family someday.
I need someone I can rely on,
not a playmate.
You need a father figure?
"Stop pulling your sister's hair!"
You know what? I'm gonna go to
Syracuse to see my mom.
- I'll be back on Wednesday.
- What are you talking about?
I had call for delivery, but it was
crank call. You want chocolate cake?
Come back later.
I'll Indian wrestle you.
You're going down, sucker.
We'll see about that.
Okay. Peace, out.
You're going to Syracuse?
I need time to think and so do you.
Think about what?
Your life and why I should
be a part of it.
All right.
While you're at it,
think about getting a real job.
I got a real job!
Patrick Ewing, nice shot.
- Hey, Sonny.
- What's up, buddy boy?
I'm out the door. Hey, pal.
- Where you going?
- Manhattan.
You wanna take me with you?
All right, I guess.
Hold onto your money.
Later on.
Okay, take care, Sonny.
See you.
Cadillac, I love it.
Surprise!
Just ignore him.
It's only Sonny. It's only Sonny.
Yeah, it's only me. It's only me.
- What's going on?
- Corinne's going-away party for Kevin.
She didn't tell me.
The roommate has a right to know.
She knew you'd ruin the surprise.
No, I wouldn't.
Hey, surprise.
Surprise.
What's going on?
We wasted the good surprise on you.
All right.
Is this your handiwork?
I guess.
See you in three hours.
Good to see you stiffs.
What've you been doing?
Last three weeks have been crazy.
I've been in Denver, Dallas...
I'm sleeping in the office.
We're going to trial on the fraud case.
Honey, it was a great surprise.
I was totally shocked.
No, you weren't!
And I worked so hard on this.
Need some help?
- Honey, your sister's here.
- Hey, sweetie.
I hate Sonny.
My client's out $7 million. All we
can sue on is breach of contract.
Maybe you can sue under
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
I gotta get back to the office.
You're the king.
Mikey, a pleasure.
- I'll see you at home.
- All right.
I'll walk you out.
I gotta admit, I'm still
weirded out when they kiss.
Why? They're gay.
That's what gay guys do.
I know, but they were like
brothers to us back in school.
They're still like our brothers.
Our very, very gay brothers.
What are you doing after this?
Going to a Klan meeting?
Remember when Dad had that barbecue
for his friends and it rained...
...so he and Mom went into the
kitchen and made...
...100 hamburgers with one frying pan?
You're not gonna let a little rain
stop you from making 100 hamburgers.
That relationship's lasted longer
than I thought it would.
Look at his eyes. He's bored.
I give it two more weeks.
Hey, excuse me. Everybody!
I'm sorry. I wanted to thank you
for coming tonight.
I'm getting it.
Tomorrow I'm leaving for China to
represent the firm of Morton and Mandel.
Me, the same guy who once shaved
his ass to win a $5 bet.
Prove it!
Just kidding.
But I am real glad you're all here
tonight, because...
...I'm gonna do what I never thought
I'd have the guts to do.
You're not proposing, are you?
Yeah, pal, I am.
Well, think about it, you know?
God, Sonny, shut up!
Anyway, will you?
Yeah.
Good call on the two weeks.
Sonny, what was that all about?
Congratulations. You and
"Big B*obs" McGee are gonna be happy.
Don't call her that.
You wanna tell your children you met
their mother as a waitress at Hooters?
Sonny, that was five years ago.
She's a doctor now...
...and my fiance, so from now on...
...Dr. Big B*obs McGee.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks, man.
I just...
...got sh*t going on.
What's the matter?
Vanessa's gonna break up with me...
...and I don't know how
to make her wanna stay.
She's getting older.
Career, stable relationship, a family.
That's how they get.
I want things to go back
to the way they used to be.
When we were at Syracuse,
- That was nice.
- Nobody hassled you to get a job.
Tommy and Phil showered separately.
Those were the days.
- What're you doing?
- lf I make this...
...Vanessa will realize
she likes me the way I am.
You're going to the putt.
Remember, the roof breaks
to the right.
Yes! That's what I'm talk...
Good God!
That can't be good.
Where's Kevin?
He already left. I guess
he forgot to say goodbye to you.
- Why are you here?
- I'm cleaning because you're useless.
Then what, you gonna go to
your Hooters reunion?
You guys talk about whose ass
hangs out of their shorts the most?
At least I can fit my ass
in my shorts, fatty.
Speaking of fatty, whose is this?
- I don't know.
- I'm eating it then.
"We wasted the good surprise on you."
Lady gave me $5 to bring him here.
- What do you mean?
- Later.
Are you selling raffle tickets?
Oh, boy.
- Kevin Gerrity.
- I got something to tell you
What's up?
There's a kid here.
What kind of kid?
If this note is true, it's your kid.
What do you mean?
reading this...
...but it says, "Dear Kevin:
This is Julian, your son.
I hope you understand why
I didn't tell you until now...
but he needs your help
I can't be his mother anymore"
- This is ridiculous.
- Hang on
Who's this?
This is my friend.
- Is that Kevin on the phone?
- No, it's my Uncle Remus.
What's your name?
Is he all right?
He doesn't like you.
