"What kind of cough?" "Was it dry or liquidy?" "I mean..." "It was just a cough, sir." "Next time I'lI save you a sample." "He'lI really like the bird I think." " It cost us $400, Carl."

" Hi!" " Hi." " Douglas said you wanted to see me?" " If you're going to the market we are out of Oreos?"

"Is your father still in Brazil?" " Dad?" " Yeah." "No, that was years ago." "He's been in Ethiopia, Chile, Uruguay." "He was with the Kurds for a while." "Wherever there's injustice, you can find my dad." "You see, you two have never met him." "He's a great man, but he..." "When I was a kid, he gave away my toys to the poorer kids." "Not just the broken toys, I mean the good toys." "Then he'd want me to be happy about it." "The family was thinking, if your dad would come back try to make up with Joe..." "Look, my dad hated these people." "He said they worshipped money above all things, especially Uncle Joe." " They're just..." " Why don't you go back?" "If you could help in the situation, and you'd share the inheritance, with whichever relative got it." "Oh, please." "What, I'm going to become like them?" "Kiss up to my uncle and wait for him to die?" "No, I'd rather run naked into Limey chick that got the money." "Sorry." "No." "It's nice to meet an honest man." "Especially in your family." "Oh." "Sorry about your car." "That's all right, it's a rental." "If you change your mind, give me a call." " Night." " Goodnight." " You coming inside?" " He taught me how to bowl." "Who did?" " Uncle Joe." " Really?" "What do you think, honey?" "Should I go back there?" " Well, I mean, if you hate him anyway..." " No, I don't hate him." "No, my dad hated him." "I was just a kid." "He was really nice to me." "Well..." "Who am I kidding?" "I was thinking of going back to see my uncle because I..." "I thought he might loan me money for that bowling alley." "People borrow money from relatives all the time." " But my family..." " You know you're a decent person." "Just decide what you want to do and don't beat yourself up over it." "OK?"

"Monday nights I go to this news-stand to get the new TV Guide for Joe." "He likes to get it early so he can circle everything he wants to watch." "Does he circle your ass?" "You really are a stupid sod, aren't you?" "I'm going to bed." "Uncle Joe was sprawled out up there." "You might want to push him to one side." " You think I'm bonking the old gent." " Yeah, we do." "Let me tell you something, handsome." "If I were having sex with your Uncle Joe, he'd be dead by now." "Yeah, that's right." "You're just his nurse." "Huh!" "Yeah, I believe that." "Excuse me a second." "Ha-ha-ha!" "I'm no more a nurse than you are a human being." "I'm here because I'm fun." "And I'm fun to look at." "I don't mind, because I like it here." "I like the car, I like the house, I like the comfort." "My life hasn't always been very comfortable." "Also, I like your Uncle Joe." "He's tough, he's funny and he's nice to me." "But I'm not a whore." "And if he asked me to sleep with him, I'd leave." "Goodnight." "Lt took you one day to get rid of Danny." "One day, thats pretty impressive, but that is not our last move!" "Move?" "You mean Danny's part of you?" " Up until now we've been nice." " But these are the finals, honey." " We're diving for every ball." " What?" "I didn't like the Beatles and I don't like you." " You know, you're insane." " Listen!" "People have accidents." " What?" " Frank, what are you saying?" "I'm saying people have accidents, that's all." " Got you, boss." " OK." "Here." " Take over." " Yes, sir." " You still work here." " I love this place." "Who wouldn't?" "well I am here." "What do you want to see me about?" "Okay short and sweet." "I figured you came back sucking around for money, that you were like the others." "Maybe you're not." "So I apologise." "OK?" "Go home now." "God, that was lovely." "I'm getting a little weepy." "You're still a funny kid." "Not as cute as you used to be, though." "Yeah, well, you're no Monet yourself." "Well, I lived in the streets till I was 20." "What do you expect?" "I was homeless before it was popular." "Can we go inside a second?" "I'm sorry that after all these years I even brought up the subject of money." "I didn't mean to." "Maybe I did." "But anyway, I'm sorry I did." "still want the money?" "Jesus, you don't let up." "Look, money's money, OK?" "I need it just like everybody else." "But money is not going to turn me into a sycophantic ass-licking wacko." "I have work to do." "Thanks for coming over." "Before you go, could you get me a cup of water?" "Lt's hot in here." "Yeah, OK." "Hello?" "Long lsland Hauling?" "I got a load sitting out here for a week." "Fieldstone 855..." "What?" "What do you mean, they're out of business 25 years?" "I call them every day." "Joe?" " Joe?" " 25 years." "Should I go get someone?" "Are you...?" " I'm going to get someone." " Danny!" " Stay here." " Are you all right?" "I have gaps." "Lapses. I..." " How often?" " More lately." "I'm hurting the business." "What?" "No, I mean, I'm sure..." "If your cousins find out, they'lI take me to court." "They'lI declare me incompetent." "They'lI pick me clean like buzzards." "They'lI put me away." "I have an idea." "Lock the door." "Quick!" "Get a chair." "Come on." " lt's really my lawyer's idea." " OK." "He says that I can turn all my affairs, give everything over to one person now, before this gets worse, which it will." "Someone I trust who'lI take care of me, who'lI take care of the business." "You understand?" "Yeah." "I don't want to go into a home." "I wouldn't let that happen." " You wouldn't?" " No." "You understand?" "This person gets control of my money now." "Not when I'm dead." "Now." "all of it." "Yes." "L'lI do it." "I'm going to call my lawyers, set up a meeting for next week." "I'm going to sign these and turn everything over to Molly." "Right." "Because I..." " To Molly?" " Yes." "She's been so kind to me." "Nobody's ever been so kind." " You're giving everything to Molly?" " Yeah." "Who did you think I meant?" "You thought I meant you." "No!" "No." " But Molly?" " You think it's a mistake." "I don't know, I..." "I want to make love to her." " Joe." " If I did this, she... she'd make love to me." "Don't you think?" "Joe, look." "A lot of women will make love to you for a lot less of money." "No." "I want her." "This doesn't sound so good to me." "I just don't think that you're being..." "I just don't think that you've had time to think this through." "I'm so tired of thinking, "Who should I trust?" "Who's not just after my money?"" "Danny, help me." "I'm exhausted. I..." "Maybe I should leave all the money to you." "Well, why don't...?" "Why don't we talk about this later?" "OK?" "all right." "In the meantime, I think it would be best if you just don't do anything." "all right." "I'm so tired." "Get Douglas to take me home." "L'lI be right back." "Throws and shoots...and scores!" "Gimme the guy in the stands with the blue and white face." "That's good." "Hold it." "Take it." "Lt was the saddest thing you ever saw." "This tough old guy just so shrivelled up." "Dick, get ready to throw to a commercial." "Honey, I'm concentrating." " Coe scores!" " You missed the basket!" "Dick, sign off and go to commercial." " Music!" " We're a minute under." "You missed the basket for the guy with the painted face." "Wait a minute." "Who's directing this, you or me?" "Let me check." "That's my ass!" "That's my ass in the director's chair!" "Shit!" "I must be the director!" " Stan, we're back in 20." " No, it's OK." "This guy'lI do it." "Here you go." "Slide right in here, slugger." "Get me a wide shot, then zoom in." "Get outta here!" "I'm just getting the hang of this." " lt was nice meeting you and your ass!" " That's nice." "Give me another shot of the painted face." "What a pinhead." "I have to work with that pinhead, so I'lI meet you at..." "I just wanted to tell you that I'm moving in with Uncle Joe for a while." "Really?" "Honey, I gotta keep an eye on him." "He's not all there." "He's thinking of giving that naked pizza girl $20 million." "Yeah, that does seem wrong." "But who should get it?" "Your cousins?" "God, what a crew." "Klingons." "Well, he sort of mentioned that he might..." " What?" " That he might give it to me." "I'm not taking it that seriously." "That's not why I'm going over there." "I'm just..." "I'm worried about him." "Still, it's a funny idea, isn't it?" "You, me." "Married." "Living in that big house." "Yeah, it's funny." "Don't forget, you owe me a dollar for the shoes." "Anyway, as I was saying, my lawyer says I can turn all my money, everything, over to one person." "Now." " You understand?" " Yes." " I don't want to end up in a home." " You won't." "I'm gonna call my lawyer and I'lI set up a meeting for next week and I'm gonna turn everything over to Danny." "Danny?" "Lt was his idea." "Who did you think I...?" "You thought I meant you." " No." "No, I just..." " Molly, what would people say?" "How would it look?" "What do you really know about this bloke?" "You haven't seen him in 25 years." "He shows up here wanting money for a bowling alley." "I don't know." "I don't know who to trust." "Maybe I should leave all my money to you." "Joe-Joe." "Yes!" " Did you see that?" " Yeah." "Excuse me." "You have a call from Washington DC, sir." "L'lI take it upstairs." "You stay here with Danny." "Talk." "Enjoy yourself." "Let's go, Douglas." "You're working for your cousins, aren't you?" "Wait a minute." "How?" "Who?" "They let it slip out the other night before they threatened to kill me." "They did what?" "tell your cousins I'm not afraid of them." "And you leave Joe alone." "You keep your breasts off his eyebrows." " Hey, you little..." " Get off!" " Come on!" " Mommy!" "Lt's good." "What's happening, Wonder Boy?" "I mean, look at this." "Her tongue is practically in his wallet." "What are you drinking?" "Lt's a 7-Up." "I'm not much of a drinker." "You will be." "There's something I wanted to ask you." " Did you go and see Molly and...?" " No." "Let me finish." "all right?" "Did you go and see Molly and threaten to kill her?" "What?" "You see how evil she is?" "You see what we're dealing with?" "Why, we..." "We went to her to ask her if Joe's taking his medication." "You know, for his...circulation." "She said, "That's for me to know and for you to worry about."" "She said that?" "Then I said, "I could kill you for that." OK, now you know the truth." "God." "First couple of days I was here, she seemed so nice." "That's before she saw you as a threat." "We should have him declared incompetent." "Throw him in a home." " A home?" " You know, for his own protection." "I hear things at the scrapyard." "There is something wrong with him." "He screws things up, he makes crazy deals." "He forgets deals he's made." "Danny have you noticed anything, anything we could use to put the old man away?" "No." "Keep your eyes open." "And for God's sake do something!" "That's what you're here for." "Joe?" "Joe!" "Joe." "Here, have some water." "Cough it up." "Joe, drink some water!" "Joe." "That's it." "Piece of fruit." "She tried to kill him." "She knows he has a narrow gullet." "all the McTeagues do!" "Shut your mouth." "She's the only one who helped me." "I tried to help you, Uncle Joe, but carl stopped me!" " Liar!" " Happy birthday, Uncle Joe!" "That was last week." "You people are..." "Come on, Molly." "I've lost my appetite." "I've made a decision." "Here I am, Uncle Joe." "Hello, folks." "This is Jimmy Durante." "Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha!" "♪ Inka dinka doo a dinka dee a dinka doo" "♪ Oh, what a tune for crooning'..." " Danny." " No, honey." "♪ Inka dinka doo a dinka dee a dinka doo" "♪ It's got the whole world swoonin'" " Danny." " Stop the music!" "Stop the music." "Everybody wants to get into the act!" "Remember, Uncle Joe... ♪ You gotta start off each day with a song" "♪ Even when things go wrong" "♪ You'lI feel better, you'lI even look better" "♪ I'm here to tell you that you'lI be a go-getter" "♪ 'Cause you know That things can't go wrong" "♪ When you start off each day with a song..." "Just those in wheelchairs!" "♪ Cause you know That things can't go wrong" "♪ When you start off each day with a song" "Big finish!" "♪ When you start off each day with a song... ♪" "Ha-cha-cha-cha!" "You're something." "Robin." "Hey." "Where you going?" "I'm just a little "lnka-dinka-do'd" out." "What, do you think I enjoyed that?" "A week ago, you said it was pathetic." "Now you're singing, dancing and sliding down a banister?" "Honey, she's a vixen." "She's not giving him his medicine, she's gonna get his money and dump him in a home." "I know this." "So it's not the money, it's your uncle." "Exactly." "He's opened up his heart to me, you know." "We've rekindled something that we haven't had since I was a kid." "I mean, we got a bond growing here." "Danny, I love you and I believe in you." "But isn't everything you're telling me a big crock of bubbling shit?" " No." " Lt's just the money." " lt's not." " Mr Daniel." "Your uncle has requested another chorus." " Come with me." "Just leave." " all my stuff's here." " all my clothes." " I've seen your clothes." "Just leave." "shall I tell him you're coming, sir?" "Lt's not the money." "He's back!" "Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha!" " More wine, sir?" " No, thank you, Douglas." " ls the chicken Kiev satisfactory?" " Lt's excellent." "Could you tell the cook that tomorrow I'd like to have broiled salmon again?" " Very good, sir." " Ls my uncle going to swim today?" "He's not at home, sir." "He took the shuttle to Washington." " Business trip." " Yes and no, sir." " What does that mean?" " He took Miss Molly along." "He did?" "Yes." "He had me book the honeymoon suite at the Coolidge Hotel." "Honeymoon?" "More wine, sir?" "This is a matter of life or death." "These are Mr McTeague's pills." "I have to get them to him in two minutes and 45 seconds." "I need the room number!" "I'm sorry, sir." "Mr McTeague was very specific." "No one is to have his room number." " l'lI see to it that he gets the pills and..." " No!" "No!" "No, you don't understand." "These pills only work if I give them to him myself. lt's a very rare condition." "Excuse me, sir." "Does this say "moron"?" "I will leave him your message." "Would you like a room?" "I'm his nephew." " Oh, his nephew." " Yes." "Because he gave specific instructions not to give his room number to relatives." "What's the matter with you?" "Do you not care about this hotel's reputation?" "There is an old man shacked up here with a very young girl." "Sir, most of these rooms have old men with young girls." "This is Washington." "all right, listen, pal." "Just give me..." "..a room." "A cheap one." "Of course." "Come on, Molly." "Drink up." "Yeah, come in. lt's open." "Right there." " Leaving?" " Yeah." " Where's Molly?" " She's taking a walk." "We had a fight." "Nothing serious, I hope." "Be honest." "Do you think Molly would even like me if I wasn't rich?" "Look, I don't want to say anything against her." "But like you say, let's be honest." "How many girls like that are with poor old guys?" " Take some towels." " What?" "Take some towels for the money they charge here, you should take everything." "I'm trying to figure out a way to get the bed out of here." "You are some piece of work, do you know that?" "She's a good kid." "That's why she can't..." "She can't..." "can't just get herself to..." "You know." "You mean you two didn't...?" "No." "You know, I never believed that anyone could love me for me." "How could I, when my own mother didn't?" "She didn't?" "She left me and my brother at a..." "..at a home in Albany when I was three." "No note, no nothing." "Never asked about us." "Never said, "I'm sorry."" "Your mother has to love you." "Right Danny?" "So even if no one else does, she has to, doesn't she?" "Well, if my own mother couldn't love me, I..." "I..." "I love you, Uncle Joe." "You do?" "Yeah, I do." "Take me home, Danny." "Danny what do you mean he's throwing her out of the house?" "Honey, just wait a second, will you?" " Danny!" " Honey, I had no choice." "It was an emergancy, she wasn't going to bring him back till she got what she wanted." "You mean until she got what you wanted." "Honey, it's not like that." "Look, Uncle Joe and I, we talked." "I mean, we really talked." "He's been in Washington." "Some military contract." " Oh, yeah?" " I brought him back today and we're going to go and see his attorneys." "From now on, honey, I'm going to be responsible for him." "I'm gonna be here with him, and...you know." "Rich." " What about your cousins, you made deal?" " My cousins are animals!" "They would put him in a home if they could." "L'lI take care of their children, you know, give each kid like a scholarship or something, but my cousins forget it, don't deserve anything." " You bastard!" " Frank what are you doing?" " Frank, no!" " Whatever happened to "Hello"?" " We heard every word." " What did you do?" "Listen outside my door?" " Always." " I had no idea how sick you guys were." " Come spend a day with us." " l'd rather shove this up my ass." " L'lI do it." " You're playing a lone hand, huh?" "Are you double crossing us?" " First of all, I never agreed to anything with you." "I only said was I'lI visit my uncle, see how things were and let me tell u something." "I saw, and it made me sick." " You bastard." " I like it better when she said that." "I think it's the accent or something." " I thought I'd find you here together." " We're not all together." "Right." "Do you know, I thought you were different than the others." "But you're no different, you're exactly the same." "I am looking out for my uncle, OK?" "I am looking out for his welfare." "Bullshit." "They were willing to wait until he died." "But not you, you're going to eat him raw." " Wait a minute." "Danny is not like that." " Try to remember something, OK?" "In the long run, nobody likes a tease." "You are a cheap, chiselling, low-life hustler." " You said it!" " Well, it takes one to spot one." " Stop it!" " Great!" "Now you stop it, after she gets in a shot." "L'lI give you half a million dollars to leave." "Cash." "Soon as I get the money." "Better than delivering pizza, even in a good year." "She gets half a million dollars and we get a couple of lousy scholarships?" "That's not fair!" "No, I will give you half a million dollars and you leave." "You'lI give me half a million?" "I'm getting it all!" "He sees right through you." "You're a walking fish-tank, baby." " You and your tan tushy can..." " L'lI sleep with him." "What?" " What, you're...you're gonna...?" " As soon as he gets back from work." "L'lI give him a right good one." "You..." "See, it wouldn't..." "He wouldn't be interested in that." "Lt wouldn't even matter." "Lt'lI matter. I'lI make it matter." "♪ Inka dinka doo ♪" "Molly." "Do you know that both of my daughters are named Molly?" "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "You think she'lI do it?" "Yes, I do." "You've given her no choice." "She'lI do it just to beat you." "Oh, Jesus." "You think it'lI work?" "A young girl with a body like that?" "There'lI be nothing left of him but a smile and an old hat." "Welcome home, Joe." "Hello, Molly." "I'm tired." "I'm going upstairs." "Uncle Joe!" "Wait!" "Sir, will you need my assistance?" "No, Molly will assist me." "Oh, I see." "Very good, sir." "Let's go." "Sir?" "May I ask for a reference before you go upstairs?" "Not now, Douglas." "Goodbye, sir." "Uncle Joe, wait!" "Please wait." " I have a surprise for you." " Danny, don't." "Up we go." "His face!" "Did you see it?" "I've never been in one of these before." "Hang on!" "Molly, let me say something." "No." "Don't say anything." " A little young for you, ain't she, Joe?" " Who's there?" "Hi, Joe. lt's been a long time." " lt's Daniel." " Daniel?" " What are you...?" "You got so old." " You're no Monet yourself." "Molly, this is my cousin Daniel." "Danny's father." "Danny asked me to come." "He's got a real regard for you." "He made me think that maybe things are different than the way I remember them." "But they're not, are they?" "Lt's still the same." "God, this place still stinks from greed." "Those who have it... and those who want it." "Dad!" " Hello, Daniel." " You came!" "That was great of you." " I'm leaving." " What?" "God." "They're all still here." "First your parents, now you." "He'lI outlive your children and leave them nothing." "You wanna lighten up?" "You know who ruins this world?" "The greedy." "That's it." "They have it." "I want it." "I have it." "I want more." "That's the real pollution." "Greed." "You know who I think ruins the world?" "Pompous, self-righteous, holier-than-thou middle-aged fanatics in pony-tails who give away their kids' toys!" " He's got you too, huh?" " No, he doesn't have me." " Can't the truth be in between?" " No!" "One way is all right, one way is all wrong." "His way or my way." "Pick." " Dad." " Pick!" " You are just so..." " Pick!" "all right, then I pick him." "At least he doesn't take himself so goddamn seriously." "I'm leaving." "Why?" "I can't believe I was almost going to screw the old boy for money." "I suppose maybe I've always been here for the money." "Christ, I make myself sick." "I have to get out of here." "I understand." "You'lI take care of him, won't you?" "Of course." "You're not going to put him in a home?" "Never." "Bye." "Hey." "You OK?" "Yeah." "God, that was some scene with your father." "I just..." "What?" "That wasn't my father." "What?" "That was an actor." "My father wouldn't come here on a bet." " So you just...?" " Lt was my only shot, honey." "He wanted me to pick him over my father." "Yes, and you said you never would." "I didn't." "I picked him over an actor." " Don't touch me." " What?" " Hey." "Come on." "What's the matter?" " Danny." "You dropped your compass in the woods and you're lost." "I'm not lost." " You don't see how sick this is?" " No!" " Who got hurt?" " The truth got hurt." "OK?" "Lntegrity, self-respect, decent human behaviour got hurt." "I will be good to him." "tell me who else will be as good." " That's not the point." " No, that is the point." "We've been through a lot together and I think I've been pretty loyal." "Honey, you've been great." "But if you touch one cent of your uncle's money, we're through." " What are you, crazy?" " I mean it." "If you take any of that money, I will have no respect for you." "Jesus!" "You sound like my father." "No, I sound like the actor who played your father." "Enjoy your money." " daniel McTeague Junior." " Here." "Your great-uncle has chosen, for reasons I assume he's explained, to transfer to you all his assets, including full control of his commercial, personal and financial affairs." "My boy." "My good boy." "I would like to give you a full picture of your great-uncle's holdings." "The McTeague Scrap metal Company, comprising scrapyards, trucking..." "Excuse me." "Uncle Joe, there's something I'd like to explain to you." "First of all, when I came to your birthday party that time," "I had no idea this was going to happen." "I wasn't after your money." "I know that." "That's why I love you." "Joe." "I have to tell you something." "What?" "I'm... going to take such good care of you." "You're a good boy." "Ls that it?" " Yeah." " Well, that was lovely." "As I was saying, the McTeague Scrap metal Company, comprising..." " Stop!" "Sign nothing!" " What the hell is this?" "Oh, my, my, my." "If deceit has a name, it's his name!" "Daniel, is it true?" "is everything these gerbils have been telling me true?" "Dad." "Dad?" "Yes, Dad." "daniel McTeague Senior, his father." "His real father, not the actor he hired to come to your house last night." "Danny." "They told me that, Daniel." "Ls it true?" "Yeah. lt's true." "You hired an actor to pretend he was me, and then pretended to fight with him?" "And told him you preferred Uncle Joe to me?" "Well, when you put it like that, it sounds kind of bad." "I know we've had our differences." "And I know you think I'm strange." "No." "No, Dad." "I am." "But I've always respected you, Daniel." "Always." "I've always felt you had real character." "Ha-ha!" " Does money mean this much to you?" " No." "I didn't go and see Uncle Joe for the money." "We made a deal." "If he kept the money in the family, he'd get a cut." "Right?" " Yes, but..." " Then he double-crossed us." "Because they're scum!" "They're greedy!" "We're greedy?" "We were willing to share." "Dad." "I don't know what happened." "I just got...sucked in." "First one thing didn't seem wrong, then another, until..." "Nothing seemed wrong." "I know." "That's why I left." " How are you, Joe?" " I'm still eating grapes." " Uncle Joe." " Save it." "OK, Joe." "Bare knuckles, toe to toe." "We've spent 20 years eating your shit and saying, "Mm!" "Delicious.." "What a cook." No more." "We've hired attorneys." "If we don't get our share, we'lI get you declared incompetent." "And we'lI win, because we found out things." "You've got toys in the attic." "Broken toys." "And we'lI hammer on you until you cave in." "Understand?" " Or is your mind already gone?" " all right!" "Sit down." "all of you." " Uncle Joe..." " Quiet." "Go ahead." "As I was about to say before the circus came to town, your uncle's holdings at their peak held a net - net, mind you - financial value of just under $25 million." "At the moment, however, he is $95,000 in debt." " Wait a minute." "He's...?" " In debt beyond the value of his assets." "The room, is it doing this?" "I fear this has come as a shock to you." "No." "Shitting a sailboat, that's a shock." "This is a fucking catastrophe!" "The trip to Washington was not for a military contract." "Lt was to work out an arrangement with the irs to keep Joe out of jail." "That has been accomplished, but everything is lost." "Plus some arrangement must be made for the 95,000." "How the hell do you lose $25 million?" "Lt's easier than you think." "I overextended, made loans, some claims the government wouldn't allow." " The penalties were..." " Hold it." "I don't believe this." "Lt's another one of his tricks." "A little test!" "I will put you in touch with the irs." "They'lI give you a full accounting as well as the lovely brochure for the auction." " Auction?" " They're taking my home." "Damn it!" "Stupid, stupid!" "We played along!" "We should've stepped in five years ago!" "Two would have been enough." "You stupid, pathetic old man." "Goddamn it Frank!" "One more word out of you, I'lI kick your ass so high up you'lI take off your shirt to shit!" "Come on." "Come on, bowling boy!" "Stop it!" "Frank, cut it out!" " Stop!" "I've got a metal plate in my head." " You do?" "No!" " That's enough." " Get security to the conference room." "That's enough." "Get over here." "Meathead!" "You're insane, you know that?" "Me?" "For five years, I begged you, let's put him in a home!" "No, you didn't want to." "You didn't have the balls!" "None of you have any balls!" "Frank?" "I've been waiting to do this a long time." "Stop it." "Come on." " I want them out of here!" " Lt's all right!" "We were..." "We were just leaving, anyway." " What do we do now?" " Nothing!" "We wait around and dance at his funeral." "You're still here." "How long have you known you were broke?" "About a year." "A year." "So this whole time you were...what?" "Schmucking with me?" "Every second." "Danny, please, I had to find out," "I had to know who'd take care of me when they found out I had nothing." "And care will be required." "Your uncle's condition is degenerative, and whoever assumes control over his finances must oversee the liquidation of his assets, be responsible for the outstanding balance, and, of course, there's our bill." "We will need you to sign these papers." "If you'd just told me the truth." "I mean, I'm not saying I'm a perfect guy or anything, but then maybe I could have felt some compassion, some responsibility." "Just the truth!" "The truth is, I'm an old guy." "I'm broke." "I need help." "Not now!" "Then." "Now's no good." "Now's too late." "I crawled." "I begged." "I lost my girlfriend." "I hate that you did this." "Danny, I had to." "I had to find out who loved me." " Who..." " Nobody." "Nobody loved you." "Why should they?" "What's there to love?" "What about you is there to love?" "I want a camera on the kid's father when the kid's shooting the free throws." "If he misses, the expression on the dad's face is another Emmy." "Find the dad." " Mike, go back." " Hey!" " Stop!" " Girlie, if you don't sit down..." "will you shut up a second?" "I'lI meet you over there." "What happened?" "Uncle Joe was broke." " Come on." " Broke." "No, not just broke." "In debt." "Everybody pushing and shoving, and all the time the trough was empty." "When did I get so obsessed with money?" "When did that happen?" "I mean, you've known me for years." "I was never like that." "Was I?" "No." " What's going to happen to him?" " Uncle Joe?" "I assume my cousins will hang him." "No, really." "Really." "I don't know." "I don't care." "You don't?" "Allow me to face up to it." "I wasn't there for him." "I was there for the money, boom." "That time when you told me about the scrap yard, he told you how scared he was to go into a home?" "You told me you felt sorry for him." "I did." "But don't you see?" "It was an act." "He was putting on an act." " Anybody would have felt sorry for him." " Even your cousins?" "Make sure you get plenty of padding on there!" "Put it in last." "Douglas." "Douglas." "Where's Uncle Joe?" "I couldn't say, sir." "I'm no longer in your uncle's employ." " What are you talking about?" " He can no longer pay my wages." "Wages?" "Don't you care what happens to him?" "Very droll, sir." "Most amusing, sir." " Watch your back." "Coming through." " Where is he, in a nursing home?" "Out of the question." "He can't afford it." "Hey." "What...?" "What's he going to do?" "He can go dance the hully-gully for all I care." "Good day, sir." "Where's your hat?" "Went in the auction." "A buck's a buck." "Your lawyer told me you were here." "What are you doing in the hospital?" "I didn't feel good, stupid." "Why else do u go to a hospital." " But a county ward?" " Lt's all I can afford." "Lronic, huh?" "I'm right back where my mother left me." "You call me stupid." "Work your way up from nothing, from the street, you piss it all away." "Did you just come to cheer me up, or what?" " Come on." "Where's all your crap?" " Huh?" "Your crap." "Your stuff.." "Your cloths." "They didn't bring you in naked, did they?" " In my bag." " all right, come on, let's go." " Where?" " What, suddenly you're particular?" "You're coming with me." "Robin and I are getting married." "We decided to adopt you." " You and Robin...?" " We wanted to start a family anyway." "At least this way we know what we're getting." "Signed you up for Little League." "Don't embarrass me." "My son." "Okey-doke." "Watch your fingers." "Hi, honey, I'm home!" "Look what the stork brought us." " Hi, Uncle Joe." " Hello, Robin." "Danny bought me a hat." "Smart choice." "Well, this is my place, and I think we'lI all be very comfortable here." " Would you like to see your room?" " Sure." " Great." " Here we go." "There's a bed coming, and furniture." "We can squeeze this stuff into our room." " What do you think?" " I don't like it." " Robin went to a lot of trouble here." " Sorry." "I don't like it." "Well...we could trade rooms." "Come here." "Danny and I will stay in there and you can have this room." "How about that?" "I don't like it." "Lt's probably temporary." "In a year or so, Danny and I will buy a house." "I won't like it." "He's great, isn't he?" "He's like corn that gets stuck in your teeth." "You keep sucking on it to get it out but you can't!" "L'd like to go back to my mansion." "I love my mansion." "Oh, God." "Try to understand, OK?" "Lt's gone." "Everything is gone." "You don't have your house." "You don't have your money." "You don't have the scrapyard." "You don't even have your hat." "Look out the window." "Go ahead." " You're not broke, are you, Uncle Joe?" " I am richer than shit." "Your attorneys, them hauling your furniture out of your house...you sitting in that ward?" "You put on a show for me." "The lawyers and I put on a show for you." "I knew that guy wasn't your father." "Think I'm an idiot?" "And do you think I'm stupid enough to lose my money?" "But why?" "I mean, why would you make something like that up?" "I had to know who really loves me, huh?" "I found Molly." "I like her, she's a nice kid." "Well, shall we go?" "I want you two to live with me." "Not just live with me." "Whatever I own, you own." "What's mine is yours." "Ready?" " I don't know what to say. lt's..." " No." "No, wait, no!" "You can't do this to people." "You can't lie and fake and manipulate." "I won't accept that." " So you don't want to live with me?" " You didn't let me finish." "Just this once, I'm going to let you off with a warning." "Thank you." "But you got to promise us, no more deception." "No more games." "No more lies." "You promise?" "I promise." "Now, come on, let's go."
