a lot of cash?

Yeah, that usually involves

something illegal.

No, dude,

Skate Down.

Skate

Down.

Lame.

If you

win it,

sponsors will

hear about it.

I'll get

sponsored.

You really need

to do this.

You have no idea

what I need to do.

You're just a geek

who runs around

with that stupid camera

that your daddy

probably

bought you,

filming skaters that

you wish you could be.

Get

lost.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm, I'm

so sorry.

The meeting ran

very, very long.

You look

beautiful.

Thank

you.

Don't

worry.

I ordered us

a bottle of wine.

Terrific.

I hope you

like it.

I'm sure

I will,

and I could use a little

bit of that right now.

Here's to a wonderful

evening.

A wonderful

evening.

I'm glad we finally

got to do this.

Yes.

Yes?

Bill, you need

to stay there

and get it

done tonight.

I understand

that, yes.

Kobayashi doesn't need

it 'til Wednesday,

but I want Kobayashi

to be happy.

When Kobayashi is happy,

then I am happy.

When I'm happy, you

still have a job.

Yes.

Bill, I'm

at dinner,

and I really don't

wanna come over there

and hold

your hand.

I'm

sorry.

Alright.

I'm on

my way.

I am so

sorry.

I, I, uh,

it's...

It's

fine.

It's

complicated.

Listen, I promise

I'll make it up to you.

Okay-

Okay?

Mm-hm.

I'll take care

of the wine.

No, no,

I'll--

It's fine,

really.

She's still

in serious condition.

She's fading

in and out, okay?

So, be

patient.

You can only see her

for a few minutes.

Caleb, light

conversation only.

Okay-

Mom?

Mom, can you

hear me?

Hi,

honey

How are

you?

I'm

good.

I'm...

How are

you?

Did you hear from any

of those art schools yet?

Not

yet.

Make sure that you tell

me when you do, okay?

I will.

I met

him.

What's that,

honey?

I said I love

you, Mom.

I love

you, too.

So

much.

So

much.

Yo, what's

up, man?

What's up,

buddy?

Are we

all set?

You know

it.

Who we

got?

Just a bunch of kooks

from somewhere else.

Man, we

got this.

What about

the new kid?

Your boy Joey got this,

man, you know that.

He's the man,

right?

Right, well,

let's see it.

Hit him

up.

Hello?

What up,

man?

When's the footage

gonna be ready?

Yeah, dude, I'm

just finishing up

your video now,

and I'll move

on to Caleb's

footage next.

Good,

good.

I wanna see how good

this guy really is.

For sure, man, I'll,

I'll bring it over

as soon as

I'm done.

Good, and, Joey, you

make sure he shows up

for this

thing.

You got

it.

Alright, talk

to you later.

Bye-bye.

Let's

go.

Come

on.

And that means

no surfing.

Have you ever watched

him surf, David?

Yo.

Hey, you're

here finally.

Yeah.

What's

up?

Skate

Down.

What

about it?

Tomorrow night Ryder

wants to challenge you.

Who's

Ryder?

He's the king

of Skate Down.

If you beat him,

you get sponsored.

That

simple.

Yeah, well, I don't

think I can do it.

What,

why not?

My mom's in

the hospital.

You know, the winner

gets 3,000 bucks.

Hello?

I'll be right

there.

Hey!

Oh,

man.

I'm

in.

Are you

serious?

Good,

man!

Yes, yes,

alright.

So, where's

it at?

Um, I don't

know.

They let us know

about an hour beforehand.

Okay-

Oh, um,

yeah.

One more thing

I forgot to mention.

It costs four

bills to get in.

Four hundred

dollars?

Sorry.

How am

I supposed to...

I gotta

go.

Sorry for calling

you a geek.

I didn't

mean it.

Where you

going?

Come

on.

Okay-

What're

you doin'?

What's it look

like I'm doing?

It looks like you don't

know what you're doing.

Well, you think you

could do better?

Dude, I forged more notes

in my senior year

than my mom will

ever know.

I like

the confidence.

Watch

the skill.

You're making

me nervous.

You're making me

nervous, man.

Huh?

That's pretty

good.

Ah, I get

ten percent.

Yeah,

if I win.

When you

when.

Come on, let's show

'em what you got.

To the bank.

To the bank.

Excuse

me.

Are you

family?

What?

Oh, I'm

3...

We share

a son.

Caleb?

Great

kid.

Thank

you.

I'm, uh, I'm Jack,

Jack Sanders.

Dr. Sheldon.

What, what

happened?

She suffered a major

brain hemorrhage,

and because of the tumor

things got--

Tumor?

Is it

operable?

We don't

know yet.

Is Caleb aware

of all this?

My

God.

Okay, well,

there it is.

Um, I want you

to make sure

that she has the very

best of care.

Whatever she needs,

whenever she needs it.

That's...

What?

I'm afraid that

her insurance

doesn't cover

a majority

of the work that

we've already done.

I don't care about her

insurance, alright?

I will take care

of the bill.

I want her to have

the very best of care.

Whatever she needs,

whenever she needs it.

Do you

understand?

Yes,

sir.

Okay, and I'll have

my secretary call up

and she'll take

care of all

the paper

work.

Oh.

Thank

you.

You

bet.

I don't wanna

hear it.

This is the third

time this week you've

pushed the appointment

with the developers.

Yeah.

Do you think anybody

really cares

about perfection

anymore?

Perfection?

Yes,

perfection.

I don't understand how

you mean that, sir.

Come on

up here.

Look out

this window.

Tell me what

you see.

Buildings.

Yes, those

are buildings,

but what would

the city look like

if those buildings

were all

just four walls

propped up

with an occasional

window here and there?

What would it

look like then?

I don't

know.

It would

look ugly.

Now granted you have

to squint your eyes

every now and again

to be able to see it,

but out there

is beauty.

What's out

there is art.

Art is

passion.

If you don't

have passion,

you should just

stay out of it.

I'll set up the meetings

for early next week.

You wanted

to see me?

Yeah, have

a seat.

Bill, we have

another problem.

Jack, I checked every

inch of those prints,

and I know

they're ready.

I know

it.

Oh, the prints

are fine.

The prints have

been approved.

You did a really good

job on the prints.

What's

the problem?

The problem is the client

wants to change the layout.

The Kobayashi

building?

Oh, they can't

do that.

That project's

almost finished.

Plus, it's gonna

cost another what?

Hundred grand for

a new set of prints?

Which just happens

to be my favorite part.

That means we have to get

started right away.

Right

away?

Yeah, right

away.

As in

now.

Go get your

Stuff.

It's almost six o'clock

and I promised my son

I'd make his

game tonight.

Your son's

baseball game?

Yeah, he's

in the playoffs.

And what

exactly

do you think

this is, Bill?

Hm?

The Kobayashi account

happens to be one

of our biggest

accounts.

Do I have to remind you

that I've given up

everything in my entire

life in order to be

in the position

I'm in today,

and I dragged

you

right along

beside me?

Your son's little

baseball game

is not part

of the equation.

You need

to prioritize.

This is way more

important than that.

What?

No.

No?

No, it's

not.

You know what's

important, Jack?

Let me take a wild
