millennium realty.

Yes, I wanted to call

and let you know

that in the next few months

about a dozen houses

in your neighborhood

are gonna be foreclosed.

And once the bank forecloses

those houses,

the overall property value

for the block goes down.

Pretty soon what you had, what

you have now, isn't worth much.

Split it between these.

So, I'm calling you

today with an offer.

It's not going to knock you

off your feet, but it's fair.

It's fair, and it will help you

find another place to live.

So, let's start by doing this,

can you write a number down?

I'm gonna give you

my personal number.

This is not a company extension.

I'm not calling you from India.

You can call me anytime,

I'll be with you

through this process.

I'm your point man,

I'm your guy.

Now, the only question

that remains, Mr. umberto, is...

Do you have a pen?

Thank you.

Thank you.

So... I went on a

date last night.

Really?

- With who?

- Well... How'd you meet?

You didn't tell us.

She was great, you know?

She's... Smart.

Attentive, thoughtful.

But on the heavy side.

That's great, Bob.

Bit on the heavy side?

You think it's serious?

What's that mean?

I don't know.

Why not?

We had, uh, a little argument.

You know, she said she'd rather

be deaf than blind.

Oh, Bob, can't you sit

with a woman for five minutes

without bringing that one up?

Oh, damn, do you ask her that?

It's really about communicating,

you know?

I mean, think about...

Think about music.

The meal is important. Oh, boy.

Hey. Somebody gotta represent.

Now that you deserted us.

Who deserted who?

Bob, I didn't

desert you. I'm still there.

Hmm, sure are.

Hear about your husband's

new-found work ethic?

He's the star of the office.

Really?

How many deals

did you make, dad?

- Jonah!

- Not enough.

Come on, James.

Let's get

a little competition goin'.

Yeah, come on, dad. How many?

- Dad?

- Come on.

- Guys, please dig into the pie.

- You and me.

It's going to get cold.

About three.

Oh, come on, dad.

You have to be specific.

How many?

Where did you put the...?

Oh, never mind, I found it.

- How many?

- Jonah, stop it.

Come on, I wanna know.

How many?

How many deals you make?

Can we not talk

about work at the dinner table?

Thank you!

Oh, who wants coffee or tea?

Come eat your pie.

Come here.

- What?

- Come here.

I want to show you something.

Come here. Come here.

You see it?

See?

Yeah?

I got the promotion.

I didn't want to say anything in

front of him, he'll know Monday.

- That's great.

- You like it?

What's the matter?

You didn't tell me!

Oh, I wanted it

to be a surprise.

Aren't you happy?

Yeah! Of course.

It's almost double.

Do they know you can't drive?

I'm gonna learn.

I'm just worried

you'll hurt yourself.

Sam.

No, we don't know anything.

What if you...

Lose it while you're driving?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to sit and wait?

You should be happy.

I am happy.

Don't worry so much.

I'm just scared, you know?

You don't wanna lose control.

That's not true.

Why would you say that?

Everything okay in here?

Yeah. Bob, let me, uh,

let me drive you home.

Where do you get all this from?

Where are we going?

I didn't do anything!

Mr. Harvey...

You can't blame Jonah every time

he and Billy forley

get in a fight,

i will not stand for it.

You will not punish my son

unjustly.

I have three other students

who say your son started it.

Those are all Billy's friends.

Mr. Harvey,

don't barge into my office

and tell me

how to run my school.

Fine.

I won't tell you how to run it,

but you don't punish my son

when he isn't responsible

for the problem.

That was awesome.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I have fifth period.

Ah, come on.

- Really?

- Yeah, let's go.

Oh, now he's gone.

Move really slow.

Hey, there's one.

Is that one?

Oh, yeah.

He's curled

like half underneath the rock.

Ah!

Where'd he go?

Let's look up under here.

See any?

No.

But there's a fish, though.

Where?

There. There he is.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe more up here?

Maybe over there.

You know, you don't

have to go back there

if you don't want to.

We can send you someplace else.

You know, private school.

We can't afford it.

You let me worry about that.

Who wants to, anyway?

You think there's no

Billy forleys at woodland?

At least the bullies

there will be better dressed.

It's okay, dad.

I'm gonna tough it out.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, you wanna tough it out,

do ya?

Wanna tough it out?

You wanna tough it out?

Oh, yeah!

Stop!

25 funded at closing,

for the development

of a 50-home residential

neighborhood project

in Montgomery county.

The first mortgage loan

represents an underwritten,

loan to net sellout

of approximately 68 percent.

And has been underwritten

to generate an irr

of approximately...

Five percent.

We're not pushing hard enough.

We can increase marketing spend.

We flyer every block.

We go door to door.

We... cold call.

We have a local office

for each community.

But we've already been

doing all of that.

We can do more.

The problem isn't

getting to people.

People know we're out there.

But we know what the problem is.

The problem is trust.

People think we're a cold-

blooded real estate company.

That's a good thing, right?

I'm just telling you

what I've been hearing

for the past seven years...

Working the phones.

We're no more cold-blooded

than Franklin and Howard

or any of the others.

That's right,

and they're all struggling, too.

We need to reposition our brand.

Become the good guys.

I thought we are the good guys.

Oh, what are you suggesting?

You want to start a charity?

Would that be so bad?

Listen, I hate having to...

Oh, don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

What if they say no?

Are you really asking me that?

Okay,

so I'll tell him to expect you.

Yeah, you do that.

And what does

the golden boy want?

Lunch.

Oh, I don't lunch.

Lunch with me?

Why should I?

I wanna talk about this.

This what?

This challenge.

You wanna share ideas?

I do.

Why?

I... could use your help.

And why should I help you?

I think you could use

my perspective.

Look.

Golden boy, you just flipped

a couple of houses,

got yourself promoted.

Don't let it go to your head.

I don't see

why we had to come here.

I wanted to take you out.

What's wrong with dancing?

Sure, we'll go dancing.

Let me get the check.

No, no, no. It's fine.

Sam.

What's wrong?

I heard what you did

at Jonah's school.

The kid needed a break.

Well...

I called them and told them

to give him detention.

You what?

He can't cut class and...

I gave him my permission.

You don't get to do that!

Why not?

Because you don't

get to make the decision

for both of us!

Really?

Because you never used

to tell me

when he got in trouble

at school.

I didn't want to bother you

with that.

Well, now I know.

What's that supposed to mean?

Now I know.

I don't like this.

Let's go dancing.

- I don't want to.
