Do you believe that guy?

Nobody was supposed to have

that information until next month

That partnership is mine

You said it was just held up

by Ted's surgery,

and then when he got back

you'd make it official

Look, I never said you didn't do

great work You do terrific work

Every firm does good work

Look, I know you're

a lot smarter than Phil,

but the guy works

like a Trojan

He schmoozes clients

He brings in business

He's here nights,

weekends I own the guy

And that's what puts your name

on the door

This is really

coming out of left field

I've been here eight years

I'm the backbone of the

operation I know that

If I don't

get this partnership,

I got to think about

going somewhere else

I got to tell you, Gil I don't

consider that a realistic idea

Why?

You go somewhere else,

you're gonna have to get in line

behind guys who are younger than you,

who have been there longer,

who are more committed

and who are willing

to work for less money

Look, this thing with Phil

is not etched in stone

I can jerk him along

for the next month

Why don't you use that time

to give us your best shot?

Put in the hours,

dazzle me

Dazzle you?

Listen, Dave, I'm

having a problem at home

I really need to spend a lot of

extra time with my son right now

Then I don't know

what we can do

Get this guy! Get this guy!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh!

Well, they're bad dudes That's

why they call the game Bad Dudes

Okay, I should go stay with the

girls You got enough quarters?

Yeah

Okay

Dad?

Yeah?

How come I'm seeing

a psychiatrist?

Yeah, we were gonna have

a big talk about that

What's wrong with me?

Nothing Nothing

You're great

Then how come

Look

You're a kid like I was You

have a lot of worries, that's all

And these doctors, they're experts

at helping people with their worries

It's nothing

to feel bad about

I love you very much, okay?

Okay

You know what I think?

I think this is gonna be

a great summer for you

a cute eight-year-old girl walk by?

you that It could be bad Let's go

for another time

were just dropping me off

Friends? Friends slow down

They even stop

Dad

Honey, why would you

be panhandling?

I needed money

for a place to stay

Julie, you have

a place to stay

I'd have to tell you

what happened

What did happen? I just said

I didn't want to tell you

Did you leave that Tod?

Yes

He promised me he was gonna

start a house-painting business,

then he said

he'd changed his mind

He's gonna race dragsters

with his brothers

He can't even drive

a regular car

So his brothers came over

and we got in a fight

He said, "No b*tch is gonna

tell me what to do for a living"

He told me he loved me

Sweetie

They say that,

and then they come

Honey, what can you expect

from a kid like that?
