Greedy Page #5

l like the car, l like the house, l like the comfort.

My life hasn't always been very comfortable.

Also, l like your Uncle Joe.

He's tough, he's funny and he's nice to me.

But l'm not a whore.

And if he asked me to sleep with him,

l'd leave. Goodnight.

lt took you one day to get rid of Danny.

one day, thats pretty lmpressive, but that is not our last move!

Move?

You mean Danny's part of you?

- Up until now we've been nice.

- But these are the finals, honey.

- We're diving for every ball.

- What?

l didn't like the Beatles and l don't like you.

- You know, you're insane.

- Listen! People have accidents.

- What?

- Frank, what are you saying?

l'm saying people have accidents,

that's all.

- Got you, boss.

- OK.

Here.

- Take over.

- Yes, sir.

- You still work here.

- l love this place.

Who wouldn't?

Well I am here. What do you want to see me about?

Okay short and sweet. l figured you came back

sucking around for money,

that you were like the others.

Maybe you're not.

So l apologise. OK?

Go home now.

God, that was lovely.

l'm getting a little weepy.

You're still a funny kid.

Not as cute as you used to be, though.

Yeah, well, you're no Monet yourself.

Well, l lived in the streets till l was 20. What do

you expect? l was homeless before it was popular.

Can we go inside a second?

l'm sorry that after all these years

l even brought up the subject of money.

l didn't mean to.

Maybe l did. But anyway, l'm sorry l did.

Still want the money?

Jesus, you don't let up.

Look, money's money, OK?

l need it just like everybody else.

But money is not going to turn me into

a sycophantic ass-licking wacko.

l have work to do.

Thanks for coming over.

Before you go,

could you get me a cup of water?

lt's hot in here.

Yeah, OK.

Hello? Long lsland Hauling?

l got a load sitting out here for a week.

Fieldstone 855...

What?

What do you mean, they're out of business

Joe?

- Joe?

- 25 years.

Should l go get someone? Are you...?

- l'm going to get someone.

- Danny!

- Stay here.

- Are you all right?

l have gaps. Lapses. l...

- How often?

- More lately. l'm hurting the business.

What? No, l mean, l'm sure...

lf your cousins find out,

they'll take me to court.

They'll declare me incompetent.

They'll pick me clean like buzzards.

They'll put me away.

l have an idea. Lock the door.

Quick!

Get a chair. Come on.

- lt's really my lawyer's idea.

- OK.

He says that l can turn all my affairs,

give everything over to one person now,

before this gets worse, which it will.

Someone l trust who'll take care of me,

who'll take care of the business.

You understand?

Yeah.

l don't want to go into a home.

l wouldn't let that happen.

- You wouldn't?

- No.

You understand? This person

gets control of my money now.

Not when l'm dead. Now. All of it.

Yes.

l'll do it. l'm going to call my lawyers,

set up a meeting for next week.

l'm going to sign these

and turn everything over to Molly.

Right. Because l...

- To Molly?

- Yes.

She's been so kind to me.

Nobody's ever been so kind.

- You're giving everything to Molly?

- Yeah. Who did you think l meant?

You thought l meant you.

No! No.

- But Molly?

- You think it's a mistake.

l don't know, l...

l want to make love to her.

- Joe.

- lf l did this, she...

she'd make love to me. Don't you think?

Joe, look.

A lot of women will make love to you

for a lot less of money.

No. l want her.

This doesn't sound so good to me.

l just don't think that you're being...

l just don't think that you've had time

to think this through.

l'm so tired of thinking, ''Who should

l trust? Who's not just after my money?''

Danny, help me. l'm exhausted. l...

Maybe l should leave all the money to you.

Well, why don't...?

Why don't we talk about this later? OK?

All right.

ln the meantime, l think it would be best

if you just don't do anything.

All right.

l'm so tired.

Get Douglas to take me home.

l'll be right back.

[commentator]

Throws and shoots...and scores!

Gimme the guy in the stands

with the blue and white face.

That's good. Hold it. Take it.

lt was the saddest thing you ever saw.

This tough old guy just so shrivelled up.

Dick, get ready to throw to a commercial.

Honey, l'm concentrating.

- Coe scores!

- You missed the basket!

Dick, sign off and go to commercial.

- Music!

- [assistant] We're a minute under.

You missed the basket

for the guy with the painted face.

Wait a minute. Who's directing this,

you or me? Let me check.

That's my ass!

That's my ass in the director's chair!

Sh*t! l must be the director!

- Stan, we're back in 20.

- No, it's OK. This guy'll do it. Here you go.

Slide right in here, slugger.

Get me a wide shot, then zoom in.

Get outta here!

l'm just getting the hang of this.

- lt was nice meeting you and your ass!

- That's nice.

Give me another shot of the painted face.

What a pinhead.

l have to work with that pinhead,

so l'll meet you at...

l just wanted to tell you that

l'm moving in with Uncle Joe for a while.

Really?

Honey, l gotta keep an eye on him.

He's not all there.

He's thinking of giving

that naked pizza girl $20 million.

Yeah, that does seem wrong.

But who should get it? Your cousins?

God, what a crew. Klingons.

Well, he sort of mentioned that he might...

- What?

- That he might give it to me.

l'm not taking it that seriously.

That's not why l'm going over there.

l'm just... l'm worried about him.

Still, it's a funny idea, isn't it?

You, me. Married.

Living in that big house.

Yeah, it's funny.

[# Steve Wood:

Money Slips Through My Fingers]

Don't forget, you owe me a dollar

for the shoes.

Anyway, as l was saying,

my lawyer says l can turn

all my money, everything,

over to one person. Now.

- You understand?

- Yes.

- l don't want to end up in a home.

- You won't.

l'm gonna call my lawyer and

l'll set up a meeting for next week

and l'm gonna turn

everything over to Danny.

Danny?

lt was his idea. Who did you think l...?

You thought l meant you.

- No. No, l just...

- Molly, what would people say?

How would it look?

What do you really know about this bloke?

You haven't seen him in 25 years.

He shows up here

wanting money for a bowling alley.

l don't know. l don't know who to trust.

Maybe l should leave all my money to you.

Joe-Joe.

Yes!

- Did you see that?

- Yeah.

Excuse me. You have a call

from Washington DC, sir.

l'll take it upstairs.

You stay here with Danny.

Talk. Enjoy yourself.

Let's go, Douglas.

You're working for your cousins,

aren't you?

Wait a minute. How? Who?

They let it slip out the other night

before they threatened to kill me.

They did what?

Tell your cousins l'm not afraid of them.

And you leave Joe alone.

You keep your breasts off his eyebrows.

- Hey, you little...

- Get off!

- Come on!

- Mommy!

lt's good.

What's happening, Wonder Boy?

l mean, look at this.

Her tongue is practically in his wallet.

What are you drinking?
