You owe him for four weeks.

You want this in one check,

or you want it in four checks?

One check.

Here is some flowers.

Thank you. But let me just get this...

Robert, I gotta ask you a favor.

Would you do it?

If it's for money, yes.

You asked me not to call,

so I wrote you 3 letters.

I just don't answer my mail.

My husband and I, we have a big chance to

raise some money in someone's big house.

We'll stay overnight.

And they don't want kids.

- You want me to take the boy.

- Yeah, overnight.

- Until when?

- We'll be home tomorrow at 2pm.

Alright.

You haven't even seen your

son since he was born.

I said yes, didn't I?

I'll be home Sunday night.

Today's Saturday.

I even have Albie's suitcase in the car.

Fine, let's get the suitcase and let's

get on with it. Come on, let's go.

Wave goodbye to your mother.

Flowers.

Really nice, wanna hold 'em?

Close the door.

I'm gonna introduce you to some people.

This is my son Albie.

I'd like to introduce you to Charlene,

who is my secretary,

my friend, my accountant

and her daughter Renee

who is also my friend.

- How old are you?

- 8.

Well, let's go.

Yeah, what do you want?

This is my son Albie.

He's going to spend the night with us.

Hi, Albie.

What's wrong?

Robert, go get him.

He's your son for god's sake!

- Alright, come on. Let's go.

- Mr. Harmon?

Don't call me Mr. Harmon.

That's insulting.

I know it and you know it.

- I hate you.

- Yeah I know, that's cuz i'm your father.

The boy still asleep?

Yeah, he's upstairs in bed.

Here's your check.

Thank you, darling.

Mary, Annette.

Thank you, I love you.

Joanie.

Joanie, i'm sorry Phyllis.

Charlene, have your numbers?

Take good care of these chickens, okay.

You take care, bye baby.

You're the man now, you take

care of these little children.

Goodbye kids, good luck in your new careers.

Bye bye, sweetheart.

We'll be alright, Robert.

You better get back to the kid.

You shouldn't leave him alone.

Are you awake?

Go to your right, then go right again.

Can I use your toothbrush?

Use your finger.

I want to have breakfast, but

I have to clean up first.

If I have breakfast without cleaning up I vomit.

You get through with this, you can help me...

get these empty cigarette packs off here...

and this stuff here, then we can eat.

All done.

Want a drink? Would you like

a Coca-Cola, or a beer?

A beer.

Would you like a little toast?

Did you run away because I was born?

No, I didn't even know you were coming.

I don't like men a lot, you know.

I'm a writer. I don't make money on men.

No one's really interested.

They're kinda boring.

When you're 14 I think you oughta...

hitchhike across the country,

go into a truckstop, stop there.

Have a cup of coffee,

and see what men are really like, you know.

Men. Not these people out here

with the suits and ties...

that kind of stuff, you know.

I had a picture of you.

My father tore it up.

My mother cried,

they had a big fight, and he hit her.

And they changed my name to

Albie Swanson, like his.

And mother cries all the

time thinking about you.

Please come back to her.

She sleeps with another

man every night, you know.

You know what that means?

She has had a baby by another man.

So, that part of...

that part of...

is over.

I don't like women anyway, you know.

I really don't. I like kids.

And I like older people.

Cuz they seem to have the secret...

They don't need anything.

You don't need anything.

They just want...

You're innocent.

And so are old people, they're innocent.

That's what I like about them.

Drink your drink here.

Come on, drink it down.

Hey, dad!

What's wrong?

Someone's here. There's a cab

outside. There's two cabs.

You go out there and you tell them

to go away.

I have a lady in the cab.

Paris.

Dad?

This is my son Albie,

from the second marriage.

Albie, Sarah.

Oh, my god.

I haven't seen you...

I haven't seen him since he

was in the hospital being born.

I would've brought you a present, only I

didn't know I was going to be here...

I didn't know you were going to...

I didn't know I was going to...

Hi.

- A load of trunks.

- Yeah, I see that.

Well take them all into the house, alright.

Alright Jim, let's get these bags.

Let's take it in.

I just can't believe it.

I can't believe I got here, I can't

believe i'm actually here.

I can't believe i'm seeing you.

You're nuts. You're really nuttier

than fruitcake. I love you.

Where do these bags go?

Bags go- you can put 'em on

the first floor or the upstai...

put 'em on the upstairs landing, alright?

Just, on the upstairs landing.

That'll be good.

How about a drink?

No, I really shouldn't.

Perhaps, well, one maybe.

One only, cuz I was flying

first class and...

- Well, this is not going to hurt ya.

- Make it a weak one, please.

Get a little ice. Need

a little ice for ya.

Put it in this glass.

Sorry, excuse me.

Do you like your father?

Well he happens to be a wonderful

person, everybody likes him.

- Will you have vodka, scotch?

- Yeah, just a small one really.

Albie's mother brought him over here,

cuz I haven't seen him

since he was born either.

We were just reminiscing,

going over old times.

Gettin' drunk.

And i'm gonna take him to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas?

You want to go?

Do you want her to go?

No.

- Okay, go get your bag.

- But dad.

Get your bad, let's go.

You want to see the rest of the house?

Come on, i'll show you the house.

This is the kitchen.

The kitchen.

- Can you drive?

- Sure I can drive.

Here are the keys to my car,

and you go down to...

you go down to...

out of the driveway, turn right,

go down right again,

then you hit Ventura.

And there's a big shopping center

down there and you can't miss it.

I read all your books.

Yeah, they're in the bookcase.

- They're all about women.

- I know.

What took you so long?

If anyone calls, just say I died.

Yeah? How long are you going to be dead?

I don't know. Couple of days, just say.

Who was that?

- Sarah, you mean?

- Yeah, Sarah.

Do you love her?

Not the way you mean.

Do you kiss her?

Not the way you mean, I said.

Imperial Palace.

Ah, Dean ! How are ya?

make an assault on us this trip?

- Ah, I got my bodyguard with me.

- Your a computer expert, I know it.

Albie, This is Dean Shindel.

Say hello.

Your suite's blocked and your

tux is pressed and on the way up.

Where would you like your bag, Mr. Harmon?

On the bed.

That's fine.

- Here ya are, my friend.

- Thank you, sir. There's your key.

- Your tuxedo.

- Oh good. Thank you.

Put it right there on the chair.

You have the shoes?

The shirt, the tie, everything in there?

- Anything else?

- No, no. Here.

How do you feel?

Okay.

Still a little drunk?

Stomach a little upset?

You oughta go to sleep.

Listen.

I'm a man.

And a man, is different

than a little kid.

I find it very hard

to go to sleep alone.

You know what I mean, don't you?
