Jake, honey,
it's time to get up.
Good morning.
Good morning, Bette.
It's a little chilly.
I'll put out a sweater.
Hmm-mmm.
Get dressed now.
I want to be there
when they open.
Okay.
One is enough.
Here's your napkin.
You want that buttered?
There you go.
Good morning.
Watch your step.
The inspector's here.
Good morning, Mrs. Tremont.
Good morning, Mr. Korman.
Mr. Tremont.
Hello.
The Dodgers did
okay last night. Huh?
Yes.
What can I do for you,
Mrs. Tremont?
It says pork chops on sale.
Yes, indeed.
Just follow me right over here.
All of these in
this row right here,
on sale as advertised.
What about these
pork chops here?
Those are not
the ones on sale.
The ad just says
pork chops, Mr. Korman.
It doesn't have
their pictures
It just says pork chops.
What is it that you want,
Mrs. Tremont?
I want these pork
chops at those prices.
You got it.
Jake.
Jake.
Uh...
Sorry to drop this
on you, John, first thing,
but I have one personnel
problem you should know about.
This kid we want to hire can't
decide between us and Goldman.
I know you hate this,
but I think you have
to step in
and use your
magic touch.
Oh, is he really that good?
I can't stand this
recruiting stuff.
All these kids out
of business school
think they're worth $100,000
after one week on the job.
I hate their attitudes.
You know,
when I was that age,
I had to walk a mile in
the snow for a stock tip.
This kid's special.
I think you'll find
that out if you spend
a little time with him.
All right, arrange it with Kathy
I'm booked for
the next few days.
Well, the Vale prospectus
is shaping up well
but management is resisting
our suggestions
that we provide data to
help investors understand
why the company
is so profitable.
They're afraid of giving too much
information to their competitors.
I don't know
why we're dealing with
this Vale guy anyway.
He's a shady character.
I think we're risking
the reputation of the firm.
If we turn him down,
we'll never get his business again.
There's a huge fee involved
and the banking division
needs the business.
I'm worrying about
my bonus this year.
Oh, mark that down.
I think that's the earliest worrying
about a bonus ever recorded.
Yeah?
It's your sister, Mr. Tremont.
She says it's important.
She's has to talk to you now.
Hi, Annie.
How are you?
I'm in a meeting.
What's up?
John, it's about Mom.
She's had a heart attack.
She's okay,
but it's pretty serious.
Can you come out?
Hey!
How was your flight?
All right.
The guy next to me
wouldn't leave me alone.
Once they hear you're on
Wall Street, forget it.
"What about this stock? What about
that stock? What about bonds?"
Yeah, I know.
Ever heard of a stock
called Chrometex?
Mario.
A guy in the math department
told me about it.
They make those heat sensors
for cryogenic capsules.
It's gonna be bigger
than the telephone.
No, it's not.
It's not?
No.
How's Annie?
How's she holding up?
Good. She's at home
with your father.
We can go there
first or the hospital.
Whatever.
Let's go to the hospital.
That's what I figured.
How's Dad?
To be honest, Johnny,
That's why Annie's there.
She didn't want
to leave him alone.
So what's going on with Mom?
How serious is this?
Hard to tell with her.
You know your mother.
She won't admit she's
actually had a heart attack.
She's lying there
going into cardiac arrest,
she's claiming
it's indigestion.
She's blaming me.
What do you mean?
She said it was the sausages
I made for dinner.
She claims I was
trying to kill her.
Are you?
No jury would convict me, John.
Believe me.
I believe you.
I must really be
sick if you're here.
See, Mom,
that's why you're the best.
Not many people
would have gone for guilt
in your situation.
How you feeling?
Are you in any pain?
I'm staying alive
by willpower.
She'll tell you.
I've the willpower of
a woman half my age.
You underestimate yourself.
Did you see your father yet?
No, I came straight
from the airport.
When you see him,
don't say anything to him
about the heart attack.
Just tell him that something
went wrong with my insides.
Okay?
Mom.
Listen to me.
Just tell him it's something
with my insides.
He'll understand that
because I had
the hysterectomy.
Okay.
There's food in the freezer.
It's all marked.
If you have to go out,
go to McDonald's or Wendy's.
Someplace simple.
Mom, I don't think you
worrying about yourself.
You had a heart attack.
I'm not so sure
I had a heart attack.
It felt more like
gas pains to me.
Mom, for gas pains
they give you Tums.
They don't hook you up
to $20 million
worth of machines.
Did you see the doctor
who was taking care of me?
Because I don't think
he was a real doctor.
with a big silver
belt buckle.
He can't be more
than 30 years old.
They'll let anyone
through medical school
these days.
John!
God, it's good to see you.
You stopped and
saw Mom first, huh?
Yeah.
How did she look to you,
John, really?
Like Mom.
Like she was gonna
walk out of there
Well, it was only gas pains.
I'm sure she told you.
Yeah.
And the willpower?
A woman half her age.
So you're up to date.
It was scary, John.
I mean it,
I thought we
were gonna lose her.
Where would you
like your bags, sir?
Uh, just put them right there.
Thank you very much.
No luggage in
the living room.
You know the rules.
I'll put them in
your old bedroom.
The living room
is still off limits?
Look at this.
Nothing changes.
You're kidding.
as is to the Smithsonian.
Dad's out back, huh?
Yeah, in the greenhouse.
How's he doing?
Mario said he took
it pretty hard.
He's scared, John.
He's really,
really frightened.
I'm not sure he even
understands what happened.
What do you mean?
He's seen her, hasn't he?
No.
He was too scared.
I didn't want to push it.
I told him that she wasn't
allowed to have visitors,
and he seemed
okay with that.
Hello, Dad.
Hello, John.
Nice to see you.
You look good.
Good to see you, too.
I'm gonna be
staying here a few days.
I know.
Annie told me.
You heard what
happened to Mother?
Yeah. I was just at
the hospital. I saw her.
How is she?
Good.
Good.
She said to say hello
and tell you she was
comin' home soon.
Something went wrong
with her insides, huh?
Yeah, Dad.
Something like that.
The heat in your
old room doesn't work,
you know.
You may need
an extra blanket.
Okay.
The main thing for
you while you're here
will be to keep everything
on an even keel.
Mom has a schedule
and their life is
essentially one long routine.
Dad gets coffee in
the morning. Decaf.
And a sweet roll.
They start the day by clipping
