Ian, you're furniture,

and furniture doesn't talk.

Furniture may not talk,

Michael, but it listens,

better than you do.

I'm an artist, Michael. You look

at something and see what it is.

- I look at something

and see what it can be...

and who can wear it.

Charlotte.

You all right?

Charlotte's mad.

- She doesn't like me.

- No, no, no, no.

Come on.

It's not you at all. It's me.

She's afraid of change.

Why did Paliku

leave you, Baboon?

Boy, um-

I probably took her

for granted.

So now you're

with Charlotte?

Yes, I am.

Many females in

your village, Baboon.

Mm-hmm.

Why you pick only one?

Well, when you pick one to love,

it's very different.

It's like there's a big picture of her

in front of your face at all times.

And the picture's so big

you can't see any other females.

Well, I try harder

to make Charlotte like me.

- Hi!

- Hello, Jan. You look nice today.

Thank you.

This... is Mimi Siku.

Mimi, this is Mrs. Kempster.

I think you know Karen.

- Isn't he adorable?

- Mom!

- Hello, Mimi Siku!

- Jan.

I am so happy that

you've come to our house...

- Jan.

- in the country to spend the night!

- He's not deaf.

- Although he might be now.

I can't thank you enough

for letting him spend the night.

I've really got to spend

some time with Charlotte.

It's our pleasure.

Everything he needs is in the knapsack

here. He sleeps in a hammock.

It's in there. He'll set it up

somewhere around the yard.

Okay!

- Is Richard home?

- He left early for the office.

Over in the Comex,

coffee continues to plunge...

from its high of 971I2

less than a week ago.

- In trading today, the price

of futures was at 68.95.

The blue chip indicator rose slightly-

In other news-

What kind of a dumb name

is Mimi Siku?

Don't be rude. He probably thinks

Andrew is a dumb name.

So do I.

- I think Mimi Siku is a nice name.

- You would.

These are

my father's fish.

That's a poe-

Poe- Uh-

It's a poecilia latipinna.

They're from the Amazon.

We call it rishi.

- Rishi?

- Yeah.

Oh. I like

that name better.

At least I can

pronounce it.

Oh! Hi.

Do you like fish, Mimi?

I'm cooking fish

for lunch.

- "We call it rishi. "

- Fish.

- Oh!

- This not fish.

- Not taste good.

- It's frozen, Mimi.

You have to cook it first.

Oh! Poor thing.

Be honest. Which do you like best for

the flower girl's dress?

Yeah?

- Michael, it's me!

- Richard, not now.

- Charlotte and I are just about to-

- Look toward the kitchen.

Come here. Come here.

Come here. Come here.

Great. Okay.

All right, Richard. Thanks.

Bye.

Excuse me just

for a second, please.

What? What? What?

- I made the deal.

- What deal?

Uh, with Jovanovic.

After you left, I made the deal.

- Are you outta your mind?

- Yes, yes.

- I am. I am outta my mind. Squid?

- No, no, no.

How did you get the certificates

out of the vault without my signature?

- Well-

- You forged my signature?

I'm sorry. I was afraid

we would lose everything.

- What did you do with the money?

- It's here. Here!

You're walking

around New York City...

with a million dollars

in a suitcase?

Not so loud.

Would you- It's good.

Hi. The worst part-

- There's a worst part?

- Oh, yes, there is.

Coffee fell below 75

this morning.

- Let me think. Let me think.

- Yes.

Come on.

We will go to Jovanovic. Tell him we

made a mistake. Give him the money back.

- Charlotte, hi.

- Richard, what you are doing here?

There's a very

big problem...

- with the coffee trade.

- Don't tell me. You're leaving.

- This is very important to me.

- And I'm not?

Of course, you're important.

You are the most important

thing in the world to me,

except for this other thing

I gotta do now.

This better be

an emergency.

It is. We're gonna die.

Does anyone know where Mimi is?

Mom, Mimi's doin'

something bad.

Oh!

Well, um, isn't

that interesting?

Me cook real fish.

You taste?

Try everything once,

I always say.

Oh. Hot. Okay.

That is very tasty.

Where'd you get the fish?

Mom, Tarzan's

eating Daddy's fish.

House pond.

House pond?

We'll manage

to survive this, okay?

- Easy for you to say. I got kids to feed.

- So do I.

But mine want

Nike and Nintendo.

Yours wants blowguns

and Meow Mix.

Beluga. Best caviar

in whole world.

- Oh, yes, yes. Bar none.

- Delicious.

- The best.

- Very good.

Taste.

- No, not without toast points.

- Tempting, tempting.

- Taste!

- Yeah, all right.

- Right out of the fish.

- Mmm!

- It's so fishy.

- Very fishy. Eggy.

Morrison tell me

coffee now below 70, no?

We were as shocked

as you are.

- Ow.

- Much lower than 75.

It was wrong to sell you the coffee

futures. We want to buy them back.

- How much?

- The same.

A million dollars.

You lose money?

Oh! Don't worry

about that.

We value your friendship

is what it is.

- And our fingers.

- Very good.

I do not know.

What's not to know?

You're cleaning up here.

- You are shrewd men.

- No, no, no, no.

Believe me, shrewdness

is not in the picture.

I told you. Time heals everything.

It just-

Oh, the door's locked.

Well, that's a statement,

I guess. Okay, so-

I'll keep these certificates

at my house and-

Don't worry about me.

I'm sure there's a train

I can take.

It's not like it's a dangerous

neighborhood or anything.

Hi. How ya doin'?

And this is supposed

to be a bribe?

- Is it working?

- It's pretty effective.

I'll get some champagne.

And I'll change into

something more comfortable.

Huh?

Oh, no!

Oh, girl. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do that.

That was an accident. Come on.

Oh. Oh. Ah.

Coco, Coco. Come on. Coco? Coco?

Michael, I was thinking

about taking tomorrow morning off.

Yes, that's a great idea.

Whatever you'd like to do.

'Cause then it would be just

you and me, wouldn't it?

Coco?

Coco, Coco.

Here. Snap out of it.

Come on.

Come on, Coco.

You're killin' me. Wake up!

Coco, it's a mouse! Go get it!

Oh.

Coco, Coco, Coco.

Coco? Coco?

Mmm.

Jan!

Now where is this champagne?

Let's go in the kitchen.

You're so feisty today.

It's nice to see you

and Coco getting along so well.

She's fast.

What do you say we take the champagne

and drink it in the bedroom?

So, uh, let me just

get this clear in my head.

You thought that I wouldn't notice?

Those fish cost thousands of dollars.

I think what we have here

is an intercultural misunderstanding.

Why don't you tell that

to my yellow dwarf cichlids?

Because they can't

hear any more!

- Fish taste good.

- Well, let's hope so, Mimi.

You just downed

$10,000 worth of sushi.

There's still one left.

Winky.

My most loyal fish.

Remember how he used to always

follow my finger across the glass?

Now I'm gonna

have to go like this.

Everybody, go to bed.

It's late. Give me this.

- No.

- Come on. All right, keep it.

- Mimi, you go to bed too.

- You know, I mean-

- Come on. Come on.

- It's one thing to-

- You have no idea what this kind of-

- Yes, I know-

Wait.

Wait.

Wait. Now.

Ah!
