Greedy Page #9

Synopsis: Uncle Joe is ageing. He's also a millionaire. That's why his family is trying so very hard to get into his good books. They all want a piece of his empire. Unfortunately Uncle Joe isn't as stupid as his family thinks he is. He can see that his family is only nice to him because they want his money. Along comes Daniel McTeague, a struggling bowler, imported from another city by his family, to put an end to this ridiculous situation. The fight won't be easy, though, because the poor family has a little bit of competition - A beautiful nurse who takes care of Uncle Joe (and no doubt would love to take care of his bank account). Who gets all the money?

- Great.

- Here we go.

There's a bed coming, and furniture.

We can squeeze this stuff into our room.

- What do you think?

- l don't like it.

- Robin went to a lot of trouble here.

- Sorry. l don't like it.

Well...we could trade rooms.

Come here.

Danny and l will stay in there

and you can have this room. How about that?

l don't like it.

lt's probably temporary.

ln a year or so, Danny and l will buy a house.

l won't like it.

He's great, isn't he?

He's like corn

that gets stuck in your teeth.

You keep sucking on it to get it out

but you can't!

l'd like to go back to my mansion.

l love my mansion.

Oh, God.

Try to understand, OK?

lt's gone.

Everything is gone.

You don't have your house.

You don't have your money.

You don't have the scrapyard.

You don't even have your hat.

Look out the window.

Go ahead.

- You're not broke, are you, Uncle Joe?

- l am richer than sh*t.

Your attorneys, them hauling

your furniture out of your house...you sitting in that ward?

You put on a show for me.

The lawyers and l put on a show for you.

l knew that guy wasn't your father.

Think l'm an idiot?

And do you think l'm stupid enough

to lose my money?

But why? l mean, why would you

make something like that up?

l had to know who really loves me, huh?

l found Molly. l like her, she's a nice kid.

Well, shall we go?

l want you two to live with me.

Not just live with me.

Whatever l own, you own.

What's mine is yours. Ready?

- l don't know what to say. lt's...

- No. No, wait, no!

You can't do this to people.

You can't lie and fake and manipulate.

l won't accept that.

- So you don't want to live with me?

- You didn't let me finish.

Just this once,

l'm going to let you off with a warning.

Thank you.

But you got to promise us,

no more deception.

No more games. No more lies.

You promise?

l promise. Now, come on, let's go.
