Thank you, Bobby.

Hi, mami.

Okay, we'll be back soon.

Bye, mama.

Bye. Bye.

What if the money stays?

We leave it there.

It's a bank.

We can't open a checking

account with $500,000.

But we could open

a safety deposit box.

Leave it

in the safety deposit box?

Yeah, we could leave it there,

and then when we leave the bank,

we don't have anything.

There's nothing

he can take from us.

Makes sense, right?

Yeah, makes sense.

I think I know a good bank

to do it in.

You okay?

You didn't say anything

to anybody, did you?

I thought we're not

saying anything.

'Cause Emily, she kept staring

at my b*obs and my stomach.

That's 'cause you got

nice b*obs and a nice stomach.

That's not what I mean.

You're not showing.

Nobody can tell.

I can't tell.

I-I just feel like I'm lying

to everybody who loves me,

and it feels wrong.

I can see that.

I mean, it is kind of sneaky,

I guess, the way we're--

Are you calling me sneaky?

No, us.

We're--we're--

Even if we knew

what we were doing,

we might not, you know,

talk about it to other people.

I just think we should have come

to some sort of decision by now,

because the longer we wait,

it's just gonna get harder

and harder.

Yeah, I think we should

just talk some more,

and keep talking about it

forever,

and talk and talk,

and then we will have talked,

and that'll be really good.

Is that what's known

as a pregnant pause?

You're so funny.

Well, I write music,

not lyrics.

Katie?

How you doing?

Hi, Danny.

I'll get the oil.

How you doing?

Good, where you been?

I moved to Fort Greene.

Fort Greene, very nice.

Excuse me, can I have

an instant lotto millionaire?

I should ask you

about this dog.

We found her

at this intersection today.

She was crossing it by herself.

I mean, she seems to be

pretty well trained,

so she must belong to somebody.

Have you seen her around here?

No.

No, sorry.

Is this okay?

Yeah.

Hey, I'm Bobby.

Hey, Bobby, how you doing?

I'm Danny.

Nice to meet you.

This is it.

This is the one

I was telling you about.

Look, it says "safe deposit box"

right there.

It's good, 'cause it's glass

on all sides.

These doors are glass.

We can see anyone coming

from any direction.

There's a camera right there.

God, there's 3 back there.

There's another one.

I think this is gonna work.

Let's go check e-mail.

Where is everybody?

Well, he's out there.

Meet me all by break of day.

If we shadows have offended,

think but this

and all is mended,

that you have but slumbered here

while these visions did appear,

and this weak and idle theme,

no more yielding but a dream.

Gentles, do not reprehend.

If you pardon, we will mend.

And, as I am an honest Puck,

if we have unearned luck,

now to 'scape

the serpent's tongue,

we will make amends ere long.

Else the Puck a liar call...

And so good night unto you all.

Give me your hands,

if we be friends,

and Robin shall restore amends.

My God, hi!

My God!

How long have you been

standing in the corner?

See you downstairs, guys.

So guess what?

My drama teacher knows this

agent who was in the audience,

and he was there watching,

and he's, like, referring me

to his associate in L.A.,

so, like, so I'm gonna have

an agent when I go to L.A.

Anyway, this is my friend Beth.

Beth! Hi.

It's great to finally

meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

This is Bobby.

Bobby, Beth.

Great to meet you.

Are you excited for fireworks?

Yeah.

Very.

How was your trip out?

Hi.

Number 13.

Thanks.

Let's do this quickly, Bobby.

Do you remember the password?

Yeah.

F***.

Hey, we got an e-mail.

My God, Bobby.

What?

We have to get out of here.

The men in the SUV

are downstairs.

Is there another way

out of here?

Washroom, something?

Come on.

Can you break it?

We shouldn't.

They'll know where we are.

Okay, come on.

Hold this.

All right?

Okay, let's go.

How the f*** did they find us?

I don't know.

You can't trace

an e-mail account that fast.

It was probably the credit card.

Paid for the internet

with my credit card.

So, Bobby, you like it here

in New York?

Yeah.

Yeah, I like New York.

It's a nice town.

You think you'll stay here?

That's a good question.

What, do you have to get,

like, papers and things?

You do.

They call it a green card.

Hey, viejo,

here's some more.

Bozo, that's great.

All right, is this ready?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was just gonna start that.

Bobby, how do you like

your salmon?

On the rare side, I guess.

You got it.

Thank you.

I'm gonna cut this up,

all right?

That's good.

You don't eat meat?

Nah, I've been...

cutting out the meat of late.

You're a fish guy.

A fish guy?

Yeah, one of those fishitarian

alien men.

Vegaquarian?

Did you have

a bad meat experience or...

It's funny you should

ask in this house.

It kind of started here.

Kate's got a-a thing with food

and--and her mom.

Which makes Bobby

give up the gift of meat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Pretty much.

Just checking.

I mean, whatever makes it work.

Hey.

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm nauseous.

Can you go get the ginger pills

out of the car?

I thought so.

How'd I know?

Will you go first?

I'm scared.

I knew that you were gonna

disagree with me,

so I made the decision

on my own.

Really?

Yeah.

Come on, you are so smart,

and, you know, sometimes

you're so confused, you know?

So if you don't get

the scholarship next year--

I'll get

the scholarship again.

That's not gonna be a problem.

And if you don't,

then what?

I think...

I'm gonna get it again.

It almost went over me.

It flew past, a bee.

Well, we don't want to kill

the bee, do we?

Let's try it again.

You're gonna go back

to your studies?

Yes.

I don't think so.

Well, why don't you

just let me

make that decision for myself,

okay?

I'm 18.

I've done really well in school.

I think I've earned the right--

What do you want?

You want to struggle

like your sister?

What struggle

are you talking about?

I'm sorry.

No, what?

No, nothing.

You all have jobs.

You have--

they're all happy.

Here's the ginger.

I'll be outside.

I'll get that.

The Shermans?

Yeah, yeah.

Is this enough filling

for one?

Yes, that's perfect.

Can you tell your father,

please,

that the Shermans are here?

Papi?

Papi.

How you doing?

Look at you.

Darling.

She looks great.

Hello!

Hey!

How you doing?

Hey, Sylvia!

So nice to see you.

You too.

This is my casserole for you.

Okay, thank you very much.

That's for Felix.

What's that?

Go get your son, please.

That's a very nice one.

Jack!

We got 3 now.

We pissed him off.

God.

Okay, so it's his guys

at the internet place.

He's scared.

Doesn't seem scared to me.

He's making threats.

F***.

Okay, well,

that's what we wanted.

That's what we talked about.

That's what we talked about.

We're gonna do it?

Okay?

You sure?

Okay, I'm gonna send it.

No, I want to send it.

Okay.

Maybe we should

turn the Treo on.

What, just to f*** with him?

Yeah.

That's a good idea.
