Juan.

Juan.

How are you?

Jorge.

Jorge.

And I'm Mick Jagger!

No.

Not while I'm driving, thanks.

Oh, thank you very much.

Oh, thank you, God!

Oh, thank you, God!

I owe you!

You made it.

A whole hour to sleep.

That's all I need.

Just need an hour.

I'm sorry.

You're fat.

My husband was fat.

He's dead now.

You must eat like a pig.

Pig.

Yeah. Yeah.

Cigarettes will kill you.

My husband smoked,

you know.

He died from smoking too much.

I thought you said he died

'cause he was fat.

He was fat with bad lungs!

Granny? Granny!

It's so good to see you.

My little girl.

I see you've met John.

No, I don't believe I have.

Oh, Granny,

this is my fianc,

John Bourgignon.

Oh!

How do you do?

Oh, what a handsome young man.

I hope you will both

be as happy

as your grandfather

and I were.

John!

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry, Mrs. Reese.

I'm very sorry.

That's all right.

He's been

real tired recently.

He's been working so hard.

He's just exhausted.

Where's Dad?

He's still on the phone

talking to Washington.

You know how it is

in Washington.

Yeah.

I'm sorry I'm late,

everyone.

I always say you can

call me anything but don't

call me late for dinner.

Yeah.

Mother, it's good to see you.

You look as wonderful as ever.

Hi, honey. Hello, baby.

Hello, Daddy.

Hello, Mr. Reese.

Yeah.

Daddy, John and Chick's

business is really

improving now.

Do you think that's gonna

make you enough money

to support my daughter,

driving a limousine?

Yes, sir, I do.

Yes, sir, that, and I also

supplement my income

by drumming part time.

As a matter of fact,

I'll be performing tonight.

Wonderful.

You hang out in nightclubs?

No, sir, it's not

really a nightclub.

How much money

do you make a year?

Wouldn't you rather talk

about this in private, sir?

No!

I'll get it.

Who could be

at the back door?

That'd be probably

my best man Chick

and his date.

I invited him, Daddy.

As I was saying,

how much money

do you make in a year?

Oh...

In a year? I would say

anywhere from 30 to...

$11,000 a year, sir.

But I invest

very heavily in stocks.

Stocks?

Oh, yes.

Who's your investor?

It's...

You wouldn't know them.

Really? What's that name?

No, I know a lot

of small firms.

Oh, they're just,

they're new almost,

and they go by the name of,

of Smith and Barney

and Andy and Dopey.

I'm very sorry.

You clumsy ox!

Daddy, please!

Do you see what you did?

He didn't mean

to break the chair.

He's too fat.

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry about

the chair, sir. A little Krazy

Glue will fix that right up.

I'll just sit here if it's...

Here's my friend

Chick Leff now

and his date.

Hi, everybody.

Thanks for the invite.

Johnny, this is Misty.

Hi.

Oh, soup.

Pretty fancy place here, huh?

Yes, it looks great.

You have a half hour left.

It's up to you if you

wanna get off or not.

Oh!

Cool it!

You know how ridiculous

you people look?

Hello, darling.

Patti's here now.

I hate you people.

I hate all of you.

She doesn't mean this.

But your day

of reckoning will come!

And when it does,

I hope you get

what you deserve!

That's my daughter Patti.

She's the youngest.

Probably just a phase

she's going through.

If you like, I'll talk to her.

You know, I'm more her age.

Oh, Jesus, I need a drink.

I gotta make a martini.

He's been under

a lot of strain lately.

That's all right,

Mrs. Reese.

Stress has been known

to turn people

into complete shitheads.

Not your husband

per se, but...

I'll get it.

Well, maybe the wedding

will help to

bring everybody

closer together.

Yeah.

Yeah. Weddings are like that.

Misty, your pimp

is here to see you.

Uh-oh...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Come on, ladies, and run.

Run, shoulders back.

The new recruits

sure look good.

Sun Yi showed great foresight

setting us up here.

Mind control,

by way of the body.

Such empty minds

crying out for fulfillment.

I'd like to fulfill

that one in the red.

Control, strong,

your body is your best friend.

I claim my divine right...

I claim my divine right...

...to material stuff...

... to material stuff...

...before someone else does.

... before someone else does.

My body, my mind, my money.

Sun Yi, Sun Yi...

Okay, okay, okay,

that's enough.

Let's get down to business.

Bruno, you got a cigarette?

Yeah.

Let me have

the regional financial report.

It's not great news.

I told you we were gonna

have a lot of bad publicity

from that Reese interview.

Transmissions have been

very clear on this.

The obstacle must be removed.

Angela, initiate Plan A.

Yes, Your Holiness.

Plan A.

Get the big guy

in the gray limousine.

Hi, guys.

Cut the small talk,

you're late!

I've been playing pocket pool

up there for 15 minutes.

I got a grand opening today!

All right, all right,

where to, Sal?

Third and Elsmere.

Mr. Hound Dogs.

The hot dog people?

Yeah. They want the boys

to walk around

wearing sandwich boards.

It's not a bad idea.

Did you talk to Reese?

No, sorry.

I haven't had a chance.

Would you talk to him, Johnny?

This is important to me.

Yeah, I will.

Do you think you could

drop me off on the way?

Yes, I would mind actually.

Would you drive?

All right.

Hey, John?

Yeah?

What do you think

if we put like

a flat gray on the wall

and then maybe

a Chinese-red lacquer trim

on the molding?

Do you think that'd be good?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do, too.

John? John?

What?

John, did you hear anything

I was saying?

No. I'm practicing.

Come on, Nance.

I gotta practice.

I'm playing tonight.

Yeah, but you've been

practicing all day long.

I know, I'm bad.

What do you mean you're bad?

You're the greatest.

You're a great drummer.

Well, you tell that

to the guys tonight, okay?

I think it's amazing

what you do

with all these things.

You know, what you do

with your little foot there.

I know,

it is amazing how that works.

What you do with these...

What do you call them,

"drumstick" things?

Drumstick things,

that's very good. Yeah.

That's what they're called.

Well, why don't you show me

how to use them?

No, no. This takes years.

Come on.

It takes years to play this.

Show me.

No, I can't.

I gotta get ready to go.

Tell you what.

Just put them in your hands.

Very good, just like that.

Why don't you just sit down

and play? Go nuts, all right?

Have fun.

I gotta get ready.

Nancy, don't ever

do that again!

Excuse me. I'm looking

for a guy named Skipper.

I'm a guy named Skipper.

Damien, take that tablecloth

off there, will you?

It's all bloody.

It looks terrible.

And I told you

I want baby blue spots

in all those fixtures.

Now get to it!

I'm trying.

Yes?

I'm John Bourgignon

from the Musicians Union.

Oh, really? Well, you tell

those people over there to

take me off that unfair list.

It's unfair to me.

I didn't do a damn thing.

I don't know

anything about that.

I'm just a drummer.

Oh, thank God you're here.

Here's the costume.

Take it and put it on.

The dressing room
