right where the spoon is,

right from the middle.

No.

Just eat the swan for me!

Ok, ok, ok.

Mmm!

What, something

in there...Hard...

Oh, boy. Huh?

Hey, how was

the surprise?

That is a sweet diamond.

Diamond? Yeah.

You know how much a diamond

like that one cost?

It's cubic zirconium.

The setting is mark's

grandmother's.

I made a deal.

The restaurant takes off,

I replace that with a diamond.

Great.

I gotta throw up.

Mr. millstone, can I talk

to you for a minute?

[Cell phone ringing]

Yes. Hold that a second.

Sure.

Hello? Speaking.

What?

Oh, no, that's terrible!

Yeah, I understand.

These things happen

all the time.

Yeah, well,

thanks anyway.

Bye-bye.

Something wrong?

Yeah, big time.

Neil diamond's plane

got delayed.

He was flying

in here tonight

to sing for

my wife's birthday.

Now he can't make it.

Wow. That's too bad.

Hey, if I could just ask you

about this loan--

oh, look, I can't talk

to you about that now.

Look, son, I know

you're a nice guy

and you make good food,

but I got

a real problem here.

Can you understand?

Neil diamond is

her all-time favorite.

Excuse me.

Bandleader:

Hey, thanks a lot.

We'll be right back

after a short break.

[Brother love's traveling

salvation show plays]

[Lip-synching to Neil diamond]

hot August night

and the leaves

hanging down

and the grass

on the ground

smelling sweet

move up the road

to the outside of town

and the sound

of that good gospel beat

sits a ragged tent

where there

ain't no trees

and that gospel group

telling you and me

it's love, brother love

say brother love's

traveling salvation show

Halle-- Halle--

pack up the babies

and grab the old ladies

and everyone goes

'cause everyone knows

brother love's show

the room

gets suddenly still

and when

you'd almost bet

you could

hear yourself sweat

he walks in

eyes black as coal

and when he

lifts his face

every ear in the place

is on him

[record stops]

[Guests groan]

[Laughs]

Get off.

Ooh

no.

Ooh

ooh

ooh

starting soft and slow

like a small earthquake

and when he lets go

half the valley shakes

it's love

brother love,

say brother love's

traveling

salvation show

Halle-- Halle--

pack up the babies

and grab the old ladies

and everyone goes

'cause everyone knows

brother love's show

hallelujah

brother's

Halle-- Halle--

I say, brothers.

Brothers!

Now you got yourself

2 good hands.

And when your brother's

in trouble,

you gotta reach out

one hand for him,

'cause that's

what it's there for.

And when your heart

is troubled,

you gotta reach out

the other hand.

Reach it out

to the man up there,

'cause that's

what he's there for.

Take my hand

in yours

walk with me

this day

in my heart,

I know

I will never

stray

Halle-- Halle-- Halle--

Halle-- Halle--

Halle-- Halle--

Halle--

love, brother love,

say brother love's

traveling salvation show

Halle-- Halle--

pack up the babies

and grab the old ladies

and everything goes

oh, I'm all right.

Love, brother love,

say brother love's

traveling salvation show

sing it, baby.

I said love!

[Cheering]

Mrs. millstone,

I know I'm no

Neil diamond,

but Happy Birthday

anyway.

Ohh. [Laughs]

That's all right.

You won me over.

Now give me some sugar.

Oh.

[Laughs] I tell

you what, son.

What you did here

was priceless.

So congratulations.

You got the loan

on sheer guts.

Good luck, son.

Come on, Mildred.

Let's get you

cleaned up.

Oh.

What the hell was that?

I don't know,

but we got it.

I know, man.

Yeah.

Hey, let's go

tell Gail, huh?

Yeah.

Bastard.

Honey, we got the loan.

Dylan, what are you

all dressed up for?

Forget about it. Did

you hear what I just said?

We got the loan.

We got the loan.

Wally:
Hey, boss!

Look what I found.

Jack.

Jack, what's up,

buddy? How are you?

Oh, you owe me

5 grand.

Where was he?

Oh, it was

the strangest thing, boss.

He was inside your car.

What?

Rene:
I knew it.

Hey, rene, good news.

Jack's back.

Good news for Jack.

Bad news for you

when lila finds out.

Take him.

Oh, no, you won't.

No way.

You take him.

Give him back to her.

Hey, do I get the 10 grand?

What are you

talking about?

There was no 10 grand.

Well, I don't want him.

Jeez.

He had the dog

in his apartment all along.

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

We took really good

care of him.

We got to play,

watch TV--

Wally, don't help.

Wait a minute.

You stole her dog?

Isn't that a felony?

Gail, "felony"

is such an...

Accurate word.

Please don't use it.

Let's just say

I borrowed him.

Guys, don't look

at me like this.

It's both your faults.

You're the one who said

I need to spend some

quality time with her.

It was just supposed

to be for a couple hours.

We'd go look for Jack,

we'd have some fun

together,

she'd like me,

then I'd return him,

I'd be a hero.

What?

[Sighs]

Don't worry,

you are a hero.

My hero.

[Answering

machine beeps]

Lila, are you there?

It's Dylan. Hey--

lila, I know

you're upset,

but it was all--

lila, please don't

fast-forward.

Ok? Please. Just...

Please, look

at your front door.

I know there's no excuse

for what I did,

but there is an apology,

so please don't

throw this one away.

Hey, what do you

want from me?

[Arf]

[Arf]

[Sighs]

[Telephone rings]

[Telephone rings]

[Answering

machine beeps]

Rene:
Lila,

c'est rene.

Allo, allo.

Are you here? No?

Ok, so I've

got the tickets,

second flight

to Paris

on Friday night,

if you want,

on twa, 10 P.M.,

and, uh...

I'm going

to call you

tomorrow morning.

I love you.

Au revoir,

mon amour.

[Sighs]

[Machine beeps]

Mover:
Watch the corner.

Hey, you want to give me

a hand with that?

Second mover:

Hold on to it.

Damn.

No, no, no, no.

What are you doing?

Lila?

Lila?

Ho-ho-hold it, pal.

You can't go in there.

Lila.

She ain't here.

Where is she?

Is she coming back?

She ain't here.

Can you at least

tell me

where you're taking

her stuff?

No. Arty,

watch the corner.

Heads up, pal.

Get off.

You gotta tell me

where you're taking

this stuff, man.

If this couch goes,

my whole life goes

with it.

You're starting

to piss me off.

Come on.

You know how you spend

your whole life

looking for

the perfect one,

you finally find it,

and you let it slip

through your fingers?

Buddy, it's just

a piece of furniture.

I'm not talking

about the furniture,

I'm talking about

a girl.

The girl.

Everything

was perfect,

and I ruined it.

I'm so stupid.

That's touching,

but you're still

not getting an address.

Now get off of there

before you hurt yourself.

Too late.

God.

That about does it.

Thank you.

I'll have my guys

come in

and take care of

this trash for you.

For what it's worth,

he sounded sincere.

[Laughs]

If you're gonna

throw all this out,

you mind

if I keep this?

Thank you.

[Laughs]

Boss, can I get you

anything to drink?

Uh, no, I'm good.

Thanks.
