I have to leave early.
I've got exercise class in the morning.
I feel sick.
Charlie.
I thought you were still asleep.
I'm too nauseous to sleep.
I don't think he has a temperature.
Why don't you get him a drink of water.
Look what your Dad got for you.
- He took you to this?
- Yeah.
And you know something...
...it was the most fun date
I've ever had with him.
- You mean, you don't usually have fun?
- Sure.
It's just that your dad works so hard,
and sometimes he's not always there.
- But you do like him?
- I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
I don't just mean tonight. I mean
the big picture, the whole ball of wax.
- Tap water okay?
- No, it isn't!
There's Evian in the icebox.
Not always good at saying...
...but he loves you.
You think so?
I know so.
You are really special, Charlie.
Here's your Evian.
- What do you think, Charlie?
Absolutely. The forecast says snow.
The roads might get dangerous.
You need your sleep.
You have a tough day tomorrow.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
He's fine.
Good night, my favorite men.
Take care of each other.
Good night.
- Your first kiss, huh?
- I didn't mean to, Dad.
I mean, I wasrt...
- She did it!
- It's okay.
Now that you're me.
What a night.
Taxi!
Okay, here we go.
He's an angel of a man, but I'm telling
you, he has absolutely no taste.
I tried to talk him out of it.
Turquoise drapes with a beige carpet.
Beige, criminal.
- Mr. Marshall Seymour, please.
- You just missed him.
Why, that is so wicked of him.
Lillian Brookmeyer,
his interior decorator.
Could you be a dear
and let us in for a moment?
We're only here to measure up.
Do you know where
Professor Kerschner is?
- Downstairs, in the basement.
- All right, thanks.
Come on.
Professor Kerschner?
- Yes.
- Marshall Seymour.
Marshall Seymour.
It's not here.
I'm not surprised.
You threaten the guy...
...he gets freaked
and puts it somewhere safe.
- What are you doing?
- Cleaning up.
No use tipping him off
that we were here.
How considerate.
At home, you never lift a finger.
To the lamas, this symbolizes
the body's impermanence.
They view it as one of the many houses
inabited by the spirit...
...in its ceaseless journey
of reincarnation.
- Can I ask a question, professor?
- But of course.
Oh, wait a second,
I have something for you.
Did the lamas believe that the spirit
could change places without dying?
It's called transmogrification.
There are such beliefs...
...but they're all in the area
of superstition rather than science.
- That's what you think.
- What my dad means...
...is that we should keep
an open mind.
- Can I keep this, please?
- No way!
- He can't. We'll never see it again.
- Sit down!
There is a man
that I'd love to show it to.
He was a lama
before the Chinese invasion.
- Where is he?
- Can we see him?
I'll try to arrange it.
May I keep it?
Dad, did you see my tape deck?
I thought I left it in there.
Cleaning lady must have been here.
She doesn't usually do this good.
You drink a lot, huh, Dad?
Only under stress. I think the last
three days come under that category.
Maybe this guru guy will deliver.
I mean, he is a genuine lama.
He is an ex-lama. He's probably
one of those spaced-out weirdoes...
...who sell you coloring books at the
airports and tell you life is a tulip.
And can you believe our future
depends on this flake?
Answer the door.
Go see who it is.
What's wrong?
- Nothing.
- The store said you were sick.
I called the school,
they said Charlie's sick.
You werert supposed to be back
until Saturday.
Mosquitoes are one thing, but when
Hurricane Claire was coming...
...I said, "Cliff, it's time to go home."
Oh, sh*t! What are you doing here?
Is that how you greet your mother?
He's drinking.
Marshall, he is drinking!
You're home now, Charlie.
You'll be in your own room tonight
with all your own things.
I'm in the tub. Do you mind?
Don't be mad at me, Charlie.
I'm not mad at you.
Mom knows this is not your fault.
Mom knows your father turned you
into a foul-mouthed alcoholic.
This is Marshall. I can't come to the
phone. Please leave a message. Bye.
Marshall, it's imperative that we resolve
this South China Seas situation.
I don't care if you're still sick.
The meeting's at 10.
Oh, boy.
- What does he look like?
- All the little bastards look alike.
I don't know.
Let's hope he's not sick today.
Look at this.
That looks very familiar.
- You got everything?
- Yeah.
I'm making your
favorite supper tonight.
- Rack of lamb?
- Tuna fish casserole.
I can't wait.
Arert you forgetting something?
- See you later, Charlie Bear.
- Yeah, bye.
- Yes.
- Tell me, quick. Tell me.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Don't kill the sh*t.
- I'll get him.
- He's on your side.
- Christ!
- He's on your side!
- Quick! Now what am I supposed to...?
What are you doing in a limo?
I don't believe it.
Someone beat us to it.
Look out!
Avery's pissed.
He's called a big meeting.
Avery's called a big meeting?
We're dead.
Not yet, Dad.
Microphone
and micro radio transmitter...
...enabling control to monitor the
agent in the field's ongoing situation.
Invaluable in drug busts, for example.
How does the agent get his orders?
This is a very popular method,
young man.
An antenna concealed
in the arm of this eyeglass frame...
...works in combination
with this miniature earpiece.
It'll work.
Shall I charge this to your account,
Mr. Seymour?
- Yes.
- Fine.
- I wish that sh*t had gone to school.
- Take it easy.
- Maybe he's in the bathroom.
- All this time?
Maybe he ate Mexican last night.
Get in there. Do something!
Hello? Hello?
Are you receiving me? Over.
Dad, are you receiving me? Over.
Oh, my God, it works.
- Yeah. Are you receiving me?
- Pretty good. Say something else.
- Am I loud enough?
- Great! That's it!
Marshall?
Are you okay?
I called last night,
but I only got your machine.
Robyn came back.
She took Charlie home.
Well, we better go.
They're waiting for us.
- Okay.
- The backstabbers have Avery...
...ready to pull the plug, trash the
concept, cancel our orders, everything.
You're the one who'll have
to turn this thing around, Marshall.
- Life's too short for this crap.
- You go on in.
I'll be in in a minute.
I know you've given a lot
of commitment and energy to this idea.
But you are asking the company
to invest a total of... How much, Brad?
- Yes, but that's over three years.
- That's over three years.
We've been offered favorable
interest rates from Hong Kong.
And we've been offered very favorable
interest rates from King Kong.
- Hong Kong!
- I mean, from Hong Kong.
Maybe. But what is the most
we have ever expended before...
...for a single promotional concept?
"The Best of Britain Week."
- Now, that made money.
- 1.2 million.
"Best of Britain Week."
