Do what?

Get a bike.

Meet up with Rich, Josh, in Mexico.

Were you not just on this conference call?

I got a business to run.

I can run this company.

Oh, you don't think I can run the business?

- Walter.

- What?

Wesley, this wasn't even your dream.

It was mine.

- I can run this company, man.

- How about you show me?

Stop saying it, just show me.

Oh, no. Hey. Hey!

- No, come on, please.

- Here she comes.

I'm sorry, lady. You were parked illegally.

You made him tow my car?

You parked in his spot, lady.

I'm not talking to you, midget!

I'm talking to this ass.

- Ass?

- Yeah, you heard me.

- He's the ass?

- I was in there for a second.

Look, I don't know how much they pay you

for doing your job, but I can...

Look, I got $10...

- Go on, just take it.

- I'm sorry, lady. I told you I'm sorry.

Get your kid out, please.

- No, sweetie.

- Please don't let them take my mommy's car.

- Sweetie, come on.

- It's your mother's fault.

Learn early.

You piss a man off, he will get even!

Don't you talk to my kid!

Don't you say a word to my kid!

- Sir. Sir.

- Walter.

He's a "sir" now, huh?

Gone from an ass to sir?

- Sir Ass ain't got nothin' to say to your ass.

- Walter, Walter.

Please don't take my car.

"Please don't take." You

ain't got no choice!

Hey, Frank, get it out of here!

All right, you don't park in a man's spot!

See, that's what's wrong with women, man.

You want to start a fight with a man

and boo-hoo when he fight back!

Walter. Go. Just get the elevator.

Please.

Next time you might want to

find somewhere else to park.

Put it down, Frank.

Jillian, just park my car, okay?

I think my iPad's in the back.

You just sit down.

Ass!

- You see? Move, man!

- Walter, it's handled!

No! You ain't gonna handle it.

I'm gonna handle it!

- I ain't gonna let her call you an ass!

- Get on the elevator, man.

- Come on, man!

- Please.

You like getting walked on?

God.

Ms. Wakefield! Ms. Wakefield.

I need to talk to you for a second.

- I'm running really late for work.

- This will only take a second.

If you get cold, put that on. I love you.

- Bye, Mommy.

- Bye, baby.

- Hi.

- I'm having a day!

I just need to tell you,

you bring your daughter to school late

and you pick her up late

and her teacher has been complaining.

Well, I will bring her on time.

Okay, but I have to tell you.

This is a warning.

I'm not one of your students, Ms. Mackey.

I hear you.

Isn't this exciting, Mrs. Deeds?

Very. I wish I had a daughter.

- Girls are a handful.

- Yeah. Boys, too.

Especially that son of mine.

- How is Walt?

- He's better.

I cannot believe the two of you

are finally getting married.

Do you have any idea

how much your mother and I

have wanted this for the two of you?

Yeah. I think I do.

Well, it's a good thing

they wanted it, too.

And pretty soon your little ones

will be playing with my little ones.

I'm beside myself

at the thought of having grandchildren!

Let's get through the engagement party

first, huh, kids?

- You do want children, don't you?

- Of course she does.

Well, you better get busy.

You're not getting any younger.

Looks like

mostly little girl's stuff in this one.

Isn't this nice? At least get $50.

- No! No!

- This, you might get $30.

This is my place!

No, I beg you, please. No! Give me...

Put that down!

- How could you do this?

- I'm sorry!

You let them do this!

I told you she would do this!

No!

- I tried to talk her out of it!

- Yeah, sure you did.

- I did.

- Yeah, sure you did.

- Let me help you.

- Don't touch me!

Yeah, what are you looking at?

Don't you help me!

- Move your car!

- Go to hell!

Lady, what do you think this is?

- Shame on you.

- Let's go!

All right, shame on you!

- Good afternoon, Mrs. Deeds.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Mom, it's good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Sit up straight. Rise and greet me.

Well, sit up or stand up,

what do you want, Mom?

- "Hello" will do fine.

- Hello, Mother.

Thank you.

- You look quite lovely.

- Thank you!

You should see the wedding dress.

It's not quite my taste,

but it'll work just fine.

I'm so proud of you.

You remind me of your father.

I told you, you shouldn't get married.

Natalie is a respectable girl

from a very fine family,

unlike that trailer-park cheerleader

you married.

Mother, if I remember correctly,

Dad met you at a trailer park.

Mother? The engagement party,

how's the planning going?

Mom?

It's going to be beautiful.

What is this, Walt?

A drink in the middle of the day?

Well, if I have to sit here with you,

you better be glad

it's not a mountain of cocaine.

You enjoy this, don't you?

Yes, I am.

You think it's funny.

Why can't you be more like your brother?

Mom, now look, what's going on?

I wanted to see you.

You insisted on inviting your brother.

Well, you said it was about business

and he is a part of the business,

so I thought he should be here.

Still going to your meetings?

Why?

Yes. Yes, he is. I make sure of it.

Mom. What's going on?

I read the newspaper. Are we all right?

This is just like I thought.

You're worried about yourself.

Your father worked very hard

to build this business,

and to lose it like this

would be unthinkable.

Don't worry, Mom, perfect little Wesley's

gonna work it all out for you.

Oh, yes, he will.

And you will find some way

to try to sabotage it.

Where are you going?

I'm going to have a cigarette.

Is that okay?

I can't drive.

Wesley has to drive me, Mom,

'cause you have my car locked up

in the office garage.

Okay? I'm going to have a smoke.

It takes the patience of

Job to deal with him.

Don't get worked up about it, Mother.

He's fine. It's all fine.

Okay, go on.

Now listen.

I need you to help Mommy and be a big girl.

- You can lay down...

- I'm scared.

No, listen, you can try and go to sleep, and

I'll be back to check on you in an hour.

I want Daddy.

Ariel, don't do that.

Don't do that "Daddy" thing.

Come on.

But you must not come out of the closet,

all right?

And I'll be back to check

on you in an hour.

Put the participation

and the operating profit,

and you take that from the gross...

I don't understand what he's doing,

or how he's doing this.

- Can we go home now?

- What?

Can we go home now?

I'm still working, Walter.

And you should be, too.

Did you finish the Brunson report?

Anything else, Mr. CEO?

I'm taking a cab home.

Don't say a word.

You know, everybody around here

is talking about him, it's not just me.

He's not doing a very good job.

He's sleeping with several staffers.

John. My brother.

My father told me to take care of him

and that's what I intend to do.

Can you take care of this, please?

Make sure it's right.

Okay. Look, I gotta go.

Heidi's going out with Natalie tonight

and I get to play Daddy.

Okay.

Come on. Let's do this tomorrow morning.

No, no, I'm not leaving here

until I figure this out.

This one, I'm gonna burn the midnight oil.
