when I find

that mutt of hers.

Ooh!

Dum dum dum

what a weirdo.

[Retching]

Dah dah dah dah.

[Arf arf arf]

$5,000? Do you have

anything maybe smaller?

Not that would fit

this setting, sir.

Why don't you and me

make a deal?

Let's kick the sh*t out

of the middleman

and split his cut.

You know where he lives?

There is

no middleman, sir.

Well, is there anybody

you'd like me

to kick the crap out of

to get this price down?

Seriously, just point 'em out.

They'll never trace

it back to you--

manager, boss...

Life partner.

If I may suggest, sir,

you could always

go zirconium.

No. No, I can't.

That ring belongs

to my best friend.

I can't put in

some cheap rock.

All right. Can I get

this one by tomorrow night?

That'll cost you

extra, sir.

Of course it will!

Why wouldn't it?

You know, it's lucky how

that works out for you?

'Cause it could have

fallen either way.

Tonight's the night.

The big night.

Champagne and swans.

Just tell me one thing.

Just tell me you brought it.

Oh, yeah,

it's right here.

It's right here.

Got it.

I got it.

You wanna feel? Grab it.

No.

All right, get in there.

[Knock at door]

Rene? The door is open.

Bon jour.

I'll be out

in a few minutes.

We don't have all day.

Good fortune

and good cheer.

Oh, thank you,

kind sir.

Bless you.

My, what fine animals

you have.

Animals?

Your 2 dogs.

2 dogs?

This one's mine.

I don't know where

the other one came from.

Oh, this little one

is worth $10,000.

[Telephone rings]

[Answering machine beeps]

Man:
Hi, I'm calling

about your reward poster.

We--we found your dog.

Yeah, he's doing fine.

He's down here by the pier.

Hello. Oui. Yes.

Yes?

Yes. Don't move.

Don't move.

I'll be right there, ok?

Lila? I forgot my wallet.

I'm leaving the invitations

on the table, ok?

You meet me at the party.

Bye. Hurry up.

Hey, rene!

I call.

Me, too.

[Knock at door]

Come on in.

Hey, what's up,

ladies?

Well, if it isn't

the pillsbury doughboy.

Just put it down.

What do I owe you?

How about a lap dance?

Uh, sure, maybe later.

Let's see. That was

3 large pies with 4 toppings.

Or was that 5 pies

with half and half?

What do you guys

usually pay?

Well, 40 ought to do it.

Do you remember

the 21st night

of September?

thank you.

You're welcome.

Another.

Yes, sir.

Uh-oh, ray.

What're you drinkin'?

Dewars on the rocks.

It's the old man's drink.

Old man?

Yeah...Millstone.

Dylan:
Oh.

Dylan?

Lila. Oh,

you look great.

You, too.

Hey.

Who's your friend?

She's hot.

Yeah.

I'm ray.

I'm kind of a hugger.

Ok, keep up

the good work, ray.

There you are,

you mutt.

Oh, thank you

very much.

I'm gonna take him

out of your hands.

Excuse me, excuse me.

According to--to your poster,

there's a little issue

of money to contend with.

Oh, yeah, sure,

you're right.

You give me

your phone number,

and I'll give you

a call, ok?

I want my money.

I want my money!

Help me! Mister!

The short guy with the hair.

Where is his car?

Over there by the van.

Oh, what a night

late December back

in '63

what a very

special time for me

I remember, what a night

oh, what a night

no, I didn't even

know his name

I was never gonna

be the same...

lila!

Rene.

Did you find

your wallet?

What?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Of course.

Rene, it's good

to see you.

Of course it is.

Ah, there's ubermann.

Lila, come let me

introduce you

and let our friend here

get back to the kitchen.

Good luck.

Wally:
I'll get it.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Wally. Finally.

There you are.

Hey, run over

to leder's jewelers,

pick up a package,

and bring it to me.

You got that?

Ok, boss. I'm on it.

Uh, sorry, ladies.

Duty calls.

Take it easy.

I hope they fit!

All right, you clowns!

Which one of you

is responsible

for this crap, huh?

Just kidding.

I really scared the hell

out of you, though, there,

didn't I? Ha ha!

I'm sorry, kids.

I just have to tell you

I'm really impressed.

I think the food is a-plus.

Congratulations.

Thank you. Does that

mean we get the loan?

Oh, no, no, no,

it doesn't hurt,

but, son, when I loan money,

I'm not just looking

at balance sheets

and credit references

and pastry swans, no, sir.

I'm also looking at character

and commitment as well.

Oh, we are committed,

and I'll tell you what.

If you give us that

loan, your first meal

at the new restaurant

is comped.

I'll tell you what, son.

If I give you that loan,

they're all comped.

Keep up the good work.

Keep your feet on the mats.

Excuse me, miss.

I think you're in my seat.

Oh, hi.

Hey. What're you

doing alone?

Besides you and rene,

I don't know anyone here.

What about Carl over there?

How are you, buddy?

Look at you,

you old sheep humper.

Give me a jingle.

I'll catch you on the jangle.

Call the old number.

It'll give you a new one.

Good stuff.

Love to bitzy.

Who is that guy?

I have no idea.

So what happened

with ubermann?

Did you get

the audition?

Um...

I haven't met him yet.

Rene thought I should

wait until later.

Of course he did.

Come on. Let's go.

Oh, no, I can't.

No, come on.

We have to.

Baby steps. Come with me.

Ok.

And what if rene's correct,

and I should wait?

Hey, rene doesn't

want you to audition

and show everyone

how great you are.

He wants you to be afraid

so you'll need him.

There's ubermann.

Lila, what are you doing?

My gosh, it's pepe lepuke.

I told you,

this is not the time.

Please get out

of my way.

Come to your senses.

This is not you acting

like this. This is him.

Come on, baby. This isn't

in you to do such a thing.

You're wrong.

Remember when you freeze

who tried to stop you.

Give this to ubermann.

It's a little

bootleg I made

live at

the Hollywood bowl.

Ok? Now, pearl jam's

on there, too,

so I need it back.

Go, go, go.

Sorry to interrupt you...

Oh, it's gotta sting

a little bit.

We'll see.

Hey. Hey, Dylan.

Come here a sec.

Give me the ring.

I'm gonna stick it

in one of the swans.

The ring?

Yeah.

Now?

Come on, hurry up

before she sees us.

Ok, all right.

The ring is a, uh...

It's a funny story.

You're gonna think

it's funnier than

anybody because...

Hang on. 2 seconds.

2 seconds. Wait here.

I got it.

Wait there.

Where is it?

Oh, hey, boss.

Come on.

God! Oh, my God,

you're so fired,

you're rehired.

There it is, your ring.

Nice and shiny,

safe and sound.

Great. Thanks.

Where's the box?

The box?

Screw the box!

Who cares about the box!

You want the ring

or the box?

Get a grip.

You're scaring people.

All right. I'm just saying.

[Jack barking]

Jack, what are you

doing in there?

[Arf arf]

Meant for someone else,

but not for me

love was out to get me

that's the way it seemed

disappoint and heartache

are my dreams...

a treat for the lady.

Oh, I can't even look

at one of those.

Yeah, well, this one

is a little different.

No, thanks.

Bear--bear with me.

Just, you know,

take a bite right here,
