Two For The Money Page #6

the key to victory is anticipation.

The ability to see the future and react to it.

Now that is what I do.

And that is the truth.

So I'm not gonna sell you today all right?

I'm just gonna tell you the facts.

For over one year

I have been picking 80% winners.

Unbelievable?

Used to be.

I know the leagues. I know the teams.

I know these players.

I know this wonderful game called football.

Call the number

on the bottom of your screen

and ask for John.

Let's make some money.

Walter.

- I'm not here. Go back to sleep.

- Walter it's four in the morning honey.

What a show.

Come to bed.

Man you should have seen him.

I just sat there and watched him roll.

I swear he made me

want to pick up a phone and call.

I took the sales boys down the Smith and Wo's

to get them primed for the weekend

and Chuck got so drunk he took a swing

at one of the deer heads on the wall.

I don't know what we're gonna do.

I'll hire more guys on Monday.

I got to. I gotta get more phones.

- Everything's amping up.

- Yeah?

This guy I'm telling you

I'm gonna do this whole dot-com thing

around him you know?

I swear if I had me when I was his age...

you know I never had a mentor.

Now I got a protg. You know?

Someone you hand it all down to.

If anything happens to me he steps in.

He steps in.

Just knowing that

with this thing you know.

- It's like having a son.

- Walter come here.

It's beautiful. It's beautiful beautiful.

- You gotta go back to sleep.

- What are you doing?

- I'm gonna go... I'm gonna go for a run.

- No. Walter...

- See the sunrise.

- Come here. Just for a second.

Come here. You're exhausted.

No I'm not. I wanna go do the bridge

thing you know up-up-up Fifth?

Walter I haven't seen you all day.

Just come to bed for one minute.

Just for a minute 'cause you know

I've got the trainer tomorrow.

- The trainer wants me to run.

- I know baby.

- He wants me to run in place you know?

- I know honey.

Run from one place to another place.

No time to sleep just because you're so

exhausted I mean that's no time to sleep.

You're right. No time for sleep.

I'll be right here

when you get back from your run.

That's nice of you.

- I'll be right here right beside you Walter.

- Oh that's nice of you.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's OK.

Just close your eyes

for one second before you go OK?

Know about Stokey

being out against New York?

- A knock would be nice Jerry.

- I'm kinda underwater here man.

- A yes or no would be great.

- No I don't.

If you know something or if you

hear anything you gotta let me know

'cause that's the way we work.

I'll rush right over stat.

I've been here six years.

You've been here one.

What are you doing in here?

Hit the phones man. Do some damage control.

Rewrite that friggin' computer program.

- Hey it was a f***ed weekend.

- For some people.

There's a 50-dime bettor

who wants to talk to John Anthony.

- What's his name?

- Carl. He owns McDonald's franchises.

Wait a minute.

I landed that lead. He's my guy.

- Was.

- He's raiding my list now?

Your clients are jumping ship

you lactose-intolerant f***. Get out.

- Come on.

- Excuse me.

We're home! We're home!

We're home! We're home!

- Can we play princess?

- Oh yes can we play princess.

You go get in your princess outfit.

Everything OK?

I'll put the groceries away

then I'll come and play.

- OK!

- You go ahead.

You got it made. You gotta admit that.

I got a little cab fare.

That... that won't hurt. Hey baby.

I can explain this. It's...

- Gail that's my wife Toni.

- Hi.

- Thank you.

- It's OK really.

- Walter I'll talk to you later OK? Thanks.

- Bye-bye.

What the hell's going on here Walter?

You don't seriously think

I had something to do with that girl now?

I just brought her up here to pay her off.

I got her for John. Come on.

- Don't bullshit me Walter.

- Oh no.

You can't be serious.

You think I slept with this girl?

- Who the hell's John? Who's John?

- John. John Anthony. Ring a bell?

You got Brandon a hooker?

He's working late he's in a new city

he has no friends. Yes I got him a hooker.

Are we gonna have this conversation?

Are you completely

completely clueless Walter?

- Why are you so angry?

- Why am I so angry?

Look at you.

You're jealous. Look at you.

- Oh God. Jealous of what? Of what?

- I don't know. Brandon getting laid.

You really are crazy.

'Cause that sick thought never entered my mind.

Oh that's not where those thoughts enter.

OK I'm done. I'm done. That's it.

You'll be happy to know he didn't

sleep with her. I just paid her for coming.

- Pardon the pun.

- Oh you're hysterical.

- Daddy!

- Oh!

- Daddy!

- Where's my baby?

Look at her! Look at her! Look at her!

Coming up, week-seven predictions

with our new star John Anthony,

who went an amazing 24 and six

in last weekend's games.

- Jerry.

- Yeah.

John's up first tonight.

- What?

- John Anthony is leading off tonight.

- John Anthony's leading off?

- Is there an echo in here?

Engineer! Sound!

Help me I'm hearing everything twice.

Two years I lead off and you bury me

in the deck over a couple lousy weekends?

- This is bullshit Walter.

- ... three two...

Welcome to week seven.

- I'm in the garage.

- Hook it up?

- Yeah. You wanna hear it?

- Man let me hear it.

OK.

- It is the bomb.

- Oh that's what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking about my man.

I'm about to head out.

Everything else cool?

Yeah sort of. Did Dad reach you?

- Dad? No. Why?

- Must be out of money. He keeps calling.

He saw you on TV and wants to talk.

I gave him your work number but

he says they won't put him through.

I don't know what that's about.

I'll check into it.

Let's walk.

You could use the exercise.

Stop worrying. We're set for life.

We got Jimmy the Greek here.

He makes Nostra-f***ing-damus look like

a novelty act. Brandon to the right.

You love that don't you?

- Let me ask you a question Walter.

- Shoot.

Have you been blocking any of my calls?

Of course. You don't need

distractions right now my boy.

- Lot of crazies out there.

- Does that include my father?

You're asking me

I'm gonna tell you. Yeah.

You son of a b*tch.

How long?

- About two weeks.

- Walter.

Come on. Brandon would you

have taken the call if I put it through?

That's not the point. That's not the point.

What is the point? I'd like to know.

What's the story with you and your father?

- You tell me. You seem to know.

- Well I know pieces.

That's about all.

- Hey man I was just trying to spare you.

- Who are you gonna spare me from huh?

He was a drunk left when I was nine.

I couldn't compete with the bottle.

End of f***ing story.

So you won't spare me nothing.

If I want to talk to him I will.

Spare me. You f***.

Is that it? Is that all you got?

I will match my dysfunctional childhood

and Toni's against yours any day.

My father - five foot arms like this.

He had a cock like a Hebrew National.

If I even looked at him the wrong way
