Whoa.
I know how you feel.
- Hi.|- Hi. Can you see okay?
Oh, yeah.|Oh, yeah, sure.
I would like to open|an account, please.
Eleven dollars.
Do you have any other money|you'd like to deposit, Mr Waters?
Oh, uh, I could,
but it's sort of hard to save|around my house; that's why I'm here.
I'm afraid we have|a minimum balance. It's $200.
Two hundred dollars?
That could take|a million years.
Well, whenever you're ready,|please come back and see me.
My name's Shay Stanley.
- Ask for me.|- Okay, I'll do that.
- Thanks.|- Bye-bye.
- I-I'll see you next time.|- I hope it's not in a million years.
B-Bye-bye.

- Thank you, Edward.|- Like our relationship.
- Sucker!|- Give me that!
- [Laughing]|- Give it to me!
Butch, give it to me!
- Preston, come on!|- Butch!

What the hell do you|think you're doing?
L... l...
- Huh?|- [Butch] I saw the whole thing.
- I can be a witness|if the price is decent.|- Get outta here.
He's perfectly all right,|aren't you? Aren't you?
- Yes.|- Good. Get that thing out|from underneath my car.
What about my bike?
- Kid, was I the one that parked there...|- Oh, my word!
- Are you all right?|- He's fine. It was just|a little accident. He's okay.

[Laughs] I don't drink at all.|Seriously, seriously.
Kid, talk to me.|How much you want for the bike?
- A thousand bucks.|- I'm not talking to you!
Bye, kid.|Go on. Walk away.
What do you want, kid?|Name a figure, we'll discuss it.
Give this to your dad. He'll know|what to do with it. I gotta go.
[Tyres Screeching]
[Tyre Squeaking]
Oh, man.
I thought we understood about|taking care of our valuables.
Valuable?|It was a piece of junk.
If that's how you feel|about a gift from your parents,
I don't see giving you|a new one for your birthday.
I don't want a new bike.|I want my own room.
I'm warning you. You're on thin ice|as it is about the bike.
You know what I want?
What I want|is my own house.
My rules, my money.
Listen, young man,|until further notice, you're grounded.
What'd I do wrong?
[Sighs]|Fred.

Excuse me, Mr Biderman.|We have a little problem here.
What is it, Mrs Udowitz?
- Someone thinks this is|some kind of game.|- What?
Let me see that.
I see.
Is there much of a line|out there, Mrs Udowitz?
- Yes, we're swamped.|- Then what are you doing here?

[Door Closes]

Hey, hey.
I assume you know|what to do with this.
- Uh-huh. Yeah.|- Uh-huh.

You got your pearls|and everything on.
Hate for something|to have to happen to 'em.
Look here,|my name is Juice...
and I got something right here,|and I wondered...
if you'd be so kind enough|as to cash it for me.
What do you want?|A million bucks?

Good one, man.|Looking good.
Mmm. Oh!|Excuse me, sweetie.
[Gasps]
- What's wrong with you, little boy?|- [Preston] I'm sorry.
Don't be messin' up a view|as good as all that.
- I-I'm sorry.|- What you doin'|out of school anyway, huh?
You know you oughta|be in school.
Go on and get up outta here|before I start to get upset.
Hurry up.
How, uh...|How may I help you, sir?
I'm big Juice, man.|Quigley sent me.
Everything is fine.
- Not to worry.|- Uh-huh.
Yeah!
- The Eagle has landed.|- Hmm?
The horse is in the barn.
The chicken...|is in the pot.
Look here, man, I don't know nothin'|about no eagles landin' and all of that.
I don't know nothin'|about no horse runnin' through the barn.
And I certainly don't know nothin'|about no... chickens bein' in the pot.
You understand?
But if you do me a favour...
as to be so kind as to cash|this cheque right there,
- I could be on my way.|- Wait.
- Quigley sent you?|- That's right.
- What about the kid?|- What kid? Man...
The kid! The kid|with the backpack!
Look here, man.|I'm tired of tellin' you this.
But if you don't give me|the money for that cheque,
I guarantee there's a bullet|with your name on it in this chamber.
[Moaning]|The kid with the backpack.
The kid with the backpack!|The backpack!
The backpack!|Sh*t! Oh, my god!
[Quigley]|150 grand, cash.
- It's my last offer, guys.|- [Woman] You're our Realtor.
You tell us. This offer is so|much less than our asking price.
Well, Mrs Appleton,|it really is a buyer's market.
Do you mind if we take a minute|to think about it?
Listen, I got all the time|in the world, sweetheart.
Too bad I can't say|the same for you two.
Applesauce, what's|with the long face, my man?
I bought your pad. You've got some cash.|It's a beautiful thing.
Su casa is soon to be mi casa.|You know what I'm saying?
- Groovin' thing, man.|- Yeah, well...
