that would be wrong.

And I will make it right.

Are you threatening my family?

Threatening?

No, that would be wrong.

Hey, I'm the victim, here.

It's just food for thought.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I've got to take a leak real bad.

You know beer,

you just rent the stuff.

Great to see you again, Woody.

We're real happy for you.

Buy a boat and go fishing.

That's what I'd do.

I just might.

David, you probably don't remember

Kathy and Dale Slaasted.

- Oh, David.

- Hi. How are you?

David Grant.

I never would've recognized you

in a million years.

You were such a beautiful little boy.

I keep telling him.

You see?

Like a little prince made

out of porcelain.

Thank you.

Well, you all take care.

Oh, and enjoy spending the loot.

Enjoy.

I just had an

interesting conversation

with Ed Pegram in the men's room.

What did he want?

Some of Dad's money.

I can loan him a couple bucks

if he's hard up.

Like hell, you will.

Hey, you. Wake up!

Wake up. Now.

What's up, Dad? What's wrong?

Are we going to Lincoln today?

Tomorrow.

Why not today?

Today is Sunday.

Lincoln is closed.

And all your brothers are

coming over today. Remember?

Some of them are dead.

The dead ones won't be here.

Oh.

But God damn it.

If I don't get to that money,

they're gonna give it to somebody else.

Hey, Dad.

Do you remember a gal

you used to go out with

named Peg Bender?

- Who?

- Peg Bender.

I don't know. When?

Last week.

What do you mean, "When"?

Years ago, before you were married.

It was a long time ago.

What are you bringing that up for?

Snap to Cutler.

Back on five, tight pocket.

Throws it over the middle,

batted up in the air by Aromashodu.

He makes the grab

and a first down to midfield.

Left to the 45. Leaping to the 40.

Hit hard from behind

to the Lion 38-yard-line.

Great hands!

Devin Aromashodu batted it to himself,

and it's a first down to the Bears.

I didn't see your boys out there, Martha.

Where are Cole and Ban?

Oh, they're out volunteering today.

Picking up trash,

out on the highway.

They'll be home in time for supper.

That's nice.

It's community service,

on account of Colds rape.

Sexual assault, not rape.

Well, what's the difference?

There's a big difference.

Cole can explain it better than I can.

And Bart doesn't have to be there.

He's volunteering.

Oh, that's nice!

Bears come

out for their third possession.

Hey, for a limited time,

Ruth's Chris Steak House

is offering Ruth's Classic.

Verne, do you still drive a Chevy?

A what?

A Chevy.

That Impala you used to have.

I never had an Impala.

Well, hell, I don't know

what it was, then.

I had a Buick.

That's what it was.

Are you still driving that?

I haven't had that for years.

I thought you still had it.

It was a '78, wasn't it?

'79.

'79.

Those were good cars.

It was okay.

They don't make them like that anymore.

Those cars will run forever.

Whatever happened to it?

It stopped running.

Well, they'll do that.

Hello!

Come in!

Oh. Hey, everybody.

Hi, Ross.

How about Marcie and the kids?

Uh... Dance recital.

Who's playing?

Chicago and Detroit.

How long did it take you to drive?

So, Uncle Woody, did you get over

and talk to the newspaper yet?

Not yet.

They sent a kid around

to take my picture.

I went by the office

and gave them the lowdown.

What's it like being

a millionaire, Woody?

It's okay.

A million dollars.

Can you beat that?

Let's raise a glass

to Kate and Woody, here.

To Kate and Woody!

Not to be a spoilsport,

but you all know this is bull.

I mean, Dad didn't win anything.

Nice try, Ross.

Yeah, we're way beyond that.

Ross is right. He didn't.

Trying to keep it quiet,

so everybody don't come around

looking for a handout, huh, Kate?

That's good thinking.

No, that's right.

Woody ain't no millionaire yet.

We all got to remember that.

But come tomorrow,

that's a different story.

What's the first thing you're going to do

with the money, Woody?

The very first thing.

Get a truck.

And a compressor.

What the hell are you gonna

do with a compressor?

I need it to paint.

Are you still working, Woody?

No.

He just needs to replace the

compressor that Ed Pegram stole.

Why don't you just

go down and get it from him

while you're in town?

Huh.

David, let's go get it.

You boys will do no such thing.

Get yourselves shot

for an old piece of garbage?

Am I the only sane one in this family?

Okay, Mom. Fine.

But, hey, Ross,

I was thinking we could

take a drive later,

and see Dad's old house.

The old Grant house.

Do you think it's still there?

Dan Conway farms the place,

but he never tore it down.

It's still sitting there.

Why would you want

to waste your time seeing that?

Must be filled with rats.

Dad, want to take a drive later

and see the old homestead?

The what?

David and I want to go see

where you grew up.

What for?

What's Uncle Albert doing?

He's watching cars go by.

Remember when they came out

to visit when we were kids,

and he'd take a chair

out in the front yard

every evening to watch the road?

Oh, yeah.

Hi, David. Hi, ROSS.

It sure is good to see you boys again.

We just can't let

this much time pass again.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, thanks, Aunt Betty.

It's great seeing you again, too.

But there is something,

and it's kind of hard to bring up.

We feel it deserves mentioning.

What's that?

Well...

Well, you may not know it,

but Woody always had

a lot of money problems,

and the family would help him out

from time to time.

So, in light of his good fortune...

Well, we thought your family might want

to make things right.

I've been hearing that a lot lately.

You know, Cole's and my folks

would never say nothing

if it was just for them,

but they're gonna need

in on this deal, too.

Are you saying

you want money from us?

Oh, we just figured, seeing as how

the family took care of Woody and all,

and kept him on his feet.

Verne and I loaned Woody quite a bit,

and it wasn't like we was rich.

But he was my brother-in-law,

and we couldn't stand

to see the family suffer.

Look, Aunt Betty,

and, guys, hey,

for real, honestly, right?

Woody didn't win anything.

This is a total sham.

You're a damn liar!

Don't feed us any

of your bullshit, Ross.

You want to go?

Let's do it!

Hey, hey, hey! Hey!

Hey, watch my face, okay?

I'm on TV.

Get him, Bart!

What's going on?

Have you boys lost your minds?

Aunt Betty and her henchmen here

are asking for reparations.

For what?

They're after Dad's "winnings." Right?

They say we owe them money.

See? There is money.

"Owe them money?

What on Earth are you

talking about, Betty?

Now, Kate, you know

we helped you and Woody out

when he was drinking up

everything he earned.

You know as well as I do

it was the other way around.

You were always having

him work on your cars for free,

getting free gas.

Aunt Kate, we're not

asking for much. Just a token.

I kept records.

The money you gave him

didn't come close to what you owed.
