My mother.

And what did Mom have to say?

Nothing. She wasrt there.

You said you were talking to her.

How could you if she wasrt there?

Well, I was trying

to talk to her...

but I didn't reach her.

She wasrt in after 10:00?

No. If you don't believe me, would

you like to talk to her yourself?

What is the matter with you?

What is that?

You know what it is.

- Where did you get this?

- In your wallet.

I've never seen it before.

- It was in the secret compartment.

- I don't even use that.

- Have you been seeing him?

- No, I haven't.

- You can't stop thinking about him.

- You won't let me.

- Why were you in my wallet, anyway?

- I don't trust you.

- Well, I don't trust you either.

- Well, then we're even.

I had to do something.

I wanted to make something good

out of all we'd done wrong.

I decided to try

and buy our land back.

Alta Vista.

I need to find out the guy's name.

I wanna make him an offer.

I'm gonna get killed

for this, Diana.

I don't want you to get in trouble.

I really appreciate it.

There it is.

Right there.

- Back up.

- Here we go.

Oh, my God.

This guy's never gonna sell.

I just saw this guy on TV.

You bastard!

You stole our property!

Gentlemen,

I'd like to introduce a friend...

I'm not your friend.

Diana advised me on a piece

of property in Santa Monica.

You're a liar.

You took it, and I want it back.

Can we have a... Everything's fine.

Everything's under control.

Very well, sir.

Excuse me.

I'm taking it off.

Wait a minute.

- Did you just want to hurt me?

- Nonsense. I think you're wonderful.

- That was our house.

- I got there first.

I want you

to sell it back to me.

- You can't afford it.

- Oh? How's a million dollars?

The price is two.

If I had two,

the price would be four, right?

I saw an opportunity

and I took it.

You had the money and the right

instincts, but you were too late.

- I want you to work for me.

- You go to hell.

Listen, I mean it.

- Never.

- Why not?

- Because I hate you.

- No, you don't.

You wish you hated me.

Hi, D.

You look awful.

- Where you been?

- I'll tell you about it.

Gonna have some wine first.

Do you want some?

So, where you been?

Last night I was up for hours trying

to figure a way out of this mess.

And today?

And today I saw Gage.

Thank you for your trust, David...

and for listening.

Did you f*** him?

- No.

- But you wanted to.

I met him in broad daylight in

front of a bunch of rich a**holes.

I don't believe you.

David, he bought our property.

Okay?

That's why I went to see him...

to find some way to get it back.

You have no reason to be jealous.

I hate him.

- Tell me what happened on that boat.

- Don't do this!

Why?

'Cause I want to know.

All right, I'll tell you.

The man was a f***ing stallion.

Should I say we did it all night?

Does that do it for you?

- Is that the truth?

- You don't want the f***ing truth.

You want me to lie.

So I'll tell you he's awful,

and you won't believe me.

Just tell me the truth, D.

It was sex, David.

Just sex. Not love.

Was it good sex?

- Don't do this.

- Can you just tell me that?

What are you hesitating for?

Just tell me. Was it good?

Was it good? Was it good?

Yes.

David.

Don't tell me it was just sex.

You were attracted to him all along.

That's bullshit.

David, I did it for you.

Don't you tell me

you did it for me.

You did it for yourself.

You were dying to do it.

I would never do this for myself.

It was all for you.

Don't lie to me!

You were attracted to him!

I knew something like this

was gonna happen.

I guess you make a deal

with the devil...

and eventually

you pay the price.

Thanks, Jeremy.

Coming from the man who closed

the deal, that's very comforting.

Green.

Oh, hi, Di.

I'm not here.

Yeah, he's right here.

You wanna speak to him?

No, I don't want to talk to him.

Look, sweetie...

he loves you...

you love him.

You gotta try and work this out.

It's all pretty simple, right?

This is a deal

even I can't screw up.

Tell him he can keep the money.

I don't want any of it.

Davey...

she says she doesn't

want the money.

I don't want the money either.

I'll take it.

I mean,

if nobody else wants it.

The next few weeks without David

felt like months.

I got very good

at staring at walls.

Diana.

The recession has ended.

There's a fella out there wants

to see ten-million-dollar homes.

There is a God.

Find someone else.

Find someone else?

Are you nuts?

Do you know what the commission

is on $ 10 million?

- I can't do it.

- You have to do it.

You're the best one I have.

You're the only one I have.

The others are all on caravan.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Langford. I can't.

- Diana.

I would never dream of forcing you

to do anything against your will.

Except this one time.

Now move your ass,

or you're fired.

If you think this is gonna work,

you underestimate me.

You are truly beautiful.

What do you think you're doing?

Looking for a house.

Well, there's Bel-Air, Holmby Hills,

Benedict Canyon, Pacific Palisades.

Where would you like to go first?

Paris.

The ceilings are French gothic.

Renaissance paintings,

as you can see.

Parquet floors throughout.

The bathrooms are Italian marble.

This is the master bath.

Why didn't you return

any of my calls?

Do you like it?

No.

- Thirty million, minimum.

- Do you think?

- I know.

- Well, let's look at it.

It's not for sale.

Everything's for sale.

This is your house, isn't it?

Do you like it?

Well, it's certainly beautiful.

What do you think it needs?

Tell me honestly.

I think it needs a life.

I think it needs furniture...

maybe a couple of dogs

and flowers.

It needs you.

Just forget it.

It just won't work.

Why not?

Because from where we started,

we've got nowhere to go.

You don't know that.

I've never started this way either.

I need you.

No.

You collect things.

Don't you?

Sometimes.

Yeah.

Even if you were extremely rich...

and extremely smart...

can you be president?

You couldn't be president?

Why not?

I took a second job teaching

citizenship just to keep busy.

Where were you born?

I was born in Seoul, Korea.

Where was she born?

She was born in Seoul, Korea.

Where were you born, Miguel?

Sorry.

Welcome back.

Where were you born?

Cuba.

So, how do we say "Cuba"

in America?

Cuba.

Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Isn't this the citizenship class?

- Yes.

- Can I sit in?

It's full.

Okay.

Cuba.

Cuba. Thank you.

Okay, I have a question

for you, Lucy.

Excuse me. Is there something

you'd like to share with us?

I was just saying

that you're an amazing woman.

And...

beautiful.

And talented.

And I am crazy about her.

You're full of surprises,

aren't you?

I'm trying like hell.

I think maybe you should go.

You want me to go?

Nice people.

They want the dream.

They saw it in the flesh tonight.

You have chalk on your face.

I have something

I want to show you.

I didn't know whether you liked

big ones or little ones.
