God's Country Page #2

Mom, I'm gonna give you

a call back tomorrow.

Wait, you were supposed to

call me back yesterday.

Good night. I love you.

She has the worst timing.

I have the biggest deal of my life

and she calls to chit chat?

Don't be selfish.

It's your mother.

You can't take two minutes

of your time?

Two minutes will

turn into two hours.

I just have so much on my mind

with the Yakamoto account.

Meghan, ever since

I've known you,

all you care about is money

and your career.

What's going to happen

when you turn 60?

You're going to wish that someone

would call and visit you.

And guess what? You are

going to be all alone.

You are just as old as I am.

But I love my family.

And one day I plan to settle down

and have children of my own,

so that when I get old

I'll have someone to love me.

Look at you!

You don't date and you have no

friends outside of Adam and me.

It's late,

and I have to prepare for the biggest

presentation of my life tomorrow.

That's right.

Big presentation.

I'll go get my computer

so I can assist.

You know that I'm right.

Let me google "God's Country"

and see what we're working with.

What do we have here?

God's Country is not

just a getaway.

it's a safe haven for

those who need a break.

In the middle of 1000 acres,

we offer the best hiking, camping

run by minister Eden Graham,

second generation...

Good night.

Stupid shoe!

Have they made it?

Meghan, where are you?

Have they made it?

They are here now.

Okay.

And Mr. Whitaker is walking them

into the conference room.

Why didn't you wake me?

I've been calling you all morning.

I had Research put something

together. It's on your desk.

Okay. Offer them some coffee, tea,

something to drink. Stall them.

You want me to go

into the conference room?

But I...

I don't have time for these questions!

Just do it!

Okay.

Who do you like better?

You like Matsui or Ichiro?

Meghan is a couple

of minutes away.

She asked me to offer you

something to drink.

Coffee? Water? Tea?

Tell Ms. Daugherty we prefer

her presence instead of drinks.

But since you're here,

bring all of the above.

Yes, sir.

Anyway, my favorite player

is Hideki Matsui.

They're waiting for you.

I stalled as long as I could.

Here's your material.

Oh, uh.

Gentlemen.

Thank you for coming.

Shall we get down

to business?

We've identified your prospectus and have

done an evaluation over the next 10 years,

keeping in mind the growth rate

of the surrounding Mojave area.

Now, we see your casino not only

as gambling for adults,

and we believe you have

an entertainment portal.

We see the profit potential

at a capture of 40% lift annually.

Your investment over

the course of 10 years

will yield an annual $2 million,

which by year eight, from

your profit, your interest,

and neighboring leases, your

investment will be paid back in full.

We at Whitaker & Associates would love

to team up with the Yakamoto Brothers

to turn the Mojave Desert into one

of America's most impressive casinos.

Whitaker & Associates is the most

qualified financial organization

to bring your astonishing

vision to reality.

Thank you.

Excellent.

Very good job.

Arigato.

I'm sorry. Could someone

translate for me?

I just complimented Ms. Doherty

on her presentation.

Excellent.

Did you see the look

on their faces?

I did.

We really won them over.

You know, Meghan, I don't

hand out compliments too easily,

but you were outstanding

today and I mean that.

But before we start

blowing our own horn here,

we still have some

unfinished business.

Come on, walk with me to my car.

All right, let's not

waste any time with this.

I want you to get up there

as early as tomorrow.

Have you assistant call ahead

and set up a meeting with Graham.

And Meghan,

do not pull any punches

with this guy.

Let him know

that you mean business,

that nothing,

and I mean nothing,

will stop Whitaker & Associates

from closing that deal.

'Cause you know what?

I can feel it, God is on our side.

So you close this.

Hello?

I thought maybe I'd have a chance

to speak with my only child.

but she's always too busy

for her only mother.

Sorry, mother.

I've been swamped at work.

Well, it must be going well.

I received another

check in the mail.

What are you doing?

Oh, every week the church hands out

food donations to senior citizens.

So I'm headed on over

to the retirement home,

which is where I'll be

living in a couple of years.

Mom, come on. You

make me feel so guilty.

Well, you should.

What has it been, almost six

months since I've seen you?

You know what this coming

weekend is.

No, ma, I don't know what

this coming weekend is.

It's my birthday, Meghan.

Listen,

Pasadena is not that far from Los Angeles,

so I don't wanna hear any excuses,

and I don't want another check from you.

I wanna be with my daughter on my birthday.

Okay, ma, I will be with

you on your birthday.

I promise.

Cross your heart?

Cross my heart.

Ha! Oh, I'm so excited

I'm gonna see you finally!

I love you.

Love you too, mom.

All right.

Hello, Adam.

Meghan, hey.

Um, Mr. Whitaker asked me

to get you on the phone.

Oh, no.

- Here he comes.

- Get Meghan on the phone yet?

Wait, what does he wanna talk about?

- Yes, sir.

- Adam, wait...

Hello, Meghan. You're

heading up there, I hope.

Yes, sir. I should be there

in a couple of hours.

Good. Now listen to me.

The Yakamoto brothers are

scheduled to fly back into town

this Thursday

to finalize everything.

I'm counting on you. I am depending

on you to take care of this.

- Yes, sir, I plan to.

- Don't plan. Do it.

Call me the second you have

your meeting with Graham.

Do not leave his side without

signing those documents.

Bye.

"Close it."

I'll close it.

I'll show him.

I'll make partner

and force him to retire.

Where am I?

Hey, sir.

Finally.

Do you know where God's Country is?

You need to go about 10 miles down the road,

and make a right at the fork in the road.

Make sure that you make the next right, not left.

When you turn down that road,

go straight, you'll run right into it.

Got it. Two rights, got it.

Miss, my truck over here...

Okay.

Whoo!

Paris hilton ain't got nothin'

on you, girl!

Da-Da-Da-Da!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Don't touch the car!

Ma'am, it's not every day

that a Ferrari pulls up.

Hoo!

Hey, my name is lenny.

I'm one of the counselors here.

Okay.

I'm sorry. I didn't

get your name.

I didn't give

my name to you?

Listen, I'm looking for Mr. Graham.

Is he around?

Mr. Graham is always around.

Well then, can you

get him for me?

I'll be right back.

Hey, uh, Mr. Graham,

there's a woman out here

with a Ferrari.

Really? Where's she from?

My name is Doherty.

Where,

Where's she from?

Mrs. Doubtfire, he wants

to know where you're from.

Doherty.

My name is Doherty.

Huh?

I'm from Whitaker & Associates.

Huh?

Whitak... Oh, just...

I'm sorry, ma'am. I just don't

understand what you're saying.
