"Don't you, as a future U.S. Senator, at Ieast have to have enough courage, enough integrity, to walk into a hotel room on your own and give a tranny hooker a check?" "She's not a hooker!" "I know she's not a hooker, okay?" "But is she more of a man than you are?" "You're right." "Okay." "Thanks, Nick." "The ashley Square." "Let's go, baby." "And just for the record, that was not life and death!" "I know you two had a thing once." "So what was it, Nick?" "She was upset about Freddy and I..." "I said some things to be nice and she was just..." "It was friendly." "It looked like a Iot more than friendly to me!" "well, look, she's about to get married!" "That means a Iot!" "And, anyway, I told you, I quit!" "(PRE TTY WO MAN PLAYING AS RING TONE ON CELL PHONE)" "Who's that?" "Whose ring is that?" "It's..." "It's Karen's." "(LAUGHING SARCASTICALLY)" "Look, it's not what you think." "It's Daisy's idea of a joke, okay?" "And it's oddly helpful." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Thank you." "You're welcome." "(PHONE RINGING )" "(NICK SIGHING )" "Karen, do not call me on the home phone number." "KAREN;" "We have to talk, Nick." "It's about your dad." "Freddy asked me for $ 1 00,000 at the party tonight to join some golf club." "Don't." "please, I know." "So, I went up to the office to write a check, and when I got there, I found a new requisition on my desk." "Yeah, from whom?" "Brian." "The last gift Brian requisitioned from the Foundation was for a man named Norman ExIey." "well, who's that?" "Brian said he was just some guy, he was down on his luck and came into the church, he wanted to settle some debts, so I sent him a check for $ 1 0,000 three months ago." "And now he's asking for more?" "Yeah, only this time it's for $90,000." "And..." "What?" "Nick, he's an airplane mechanic." "Karen, what the hell are you saying?" "I don't know." "Brian, well, he never was very happy about the affair." "What affair?" "The one your dad and my mom had for the past 40 years." "Oh, God, Nick." "I thought you knew." "NICK;" "Two days later, my father's plane was finally recovered from the bottom of Long Island Sound," "without him in it." "ANGELINA:" "It could have been explosives." "could have been?" "Look, that plane's been bouncing around the ocean floor for the past two weeks now." "That's why there's no body in it, that's why there's no real proof." "I'm sorry." "I'd be happy to get a warrant for ExIey, see where it leads." "But the DA's probably gonna want to know where you're getting your information from." "I'II be in touch." "Thank you." "Hey, Mr. George." "There was a watertight lock box on the plane." "We found this in there." "personal effects." "Thank you." "What are you doing here, Tripp?" "Karen called me." "I got concerned." "well, there's..." "A Iot to be concerned about, I guess." "Maybe." "Might all amount to nothing, though." "Sometimes, you know, you're just looking for answers and there aren't any." "Either way..." "Oh, God." "Come here." "Come here." "hell of a way to lose him." "Yeah." "Whatever you want to do, Nicky, we're on your side." "Whether you're working for us or not." "Is that your way of asking if I still want to work for you or not, Tripp?" "You know me." "I can't help putting it out there." "I thought he took that with him." "well, he did." "It was in a waterproof box." "Oh." "(LAUGHS )" "Okay." "Listen, I gotta go." "My family's waiting." "Oh, you take the helicopter." "I mean, traffic's demonic." "You'II never get there." "call your car service, tell them to go home." "I wanna stay here for a minute." "police will take me back." "Take the helicopter." "I'II see you in the morning." "See you in the morning." "Good." "I Iove you, Nicky." "NICK;" "So, is the love of money really the root of all evil?" "Or is it something else?" "(JULIET SPEAKING SPANISH)" "Is it the love of freedom?" "Cupcake!" "Wait a second!" "Leave me alone, Daddy!" "TRIPP:" "Why are you doing this?" "I only get one life, and I have to make it mine." "Someday is today." "Let her go." "She'II be all right." "Okay, go for it, kiddo." "I Iove you." "I Iove you." "NICK;" "The love of fame?" "No, seriously, Ethan, you should come down and check it out." "well, because I value your opinion." "I'm trying to figure out what to do with this thing before my dad makes me sell it." "Hey." "We should hit the Bahamas, maybe?" "I gotta get back though before I go to space camp." "Ethan?" "Dude?" "NICK;" "Is it the love of virtue?" "ANDREA:" "It's not about the money, you idiot!" "I want our son to go to the school that he would go to if we were together!" "well, they won't take him at the school if he's not mine!" "Fine, then he's yours!" "congratulations, baby, you're royalty." "Andrea." "Wait, I can't just bring him home to my wife and kids!" "NICK;" "The love of vice?" "CARMELITA: (CRYING ) please don't leave me, Paddy." "I'II do something terrible, I know it." "(CARMELITA CRYING )" "It's okay." "I'm here." "NICK;" "Is it the love of romance?" "They're gonna make a whole line of kids golf videos to start." "And if that goes really well, they're gonna do the same thing, only in Japanese." "And I'II be the spokesperson, kind of, you know, the face of the whole thing." "It'II just cost $ 1 million upfront to start." "It's a good idea, right?" "Yes." "Yeah, it's a good idea." "NICK;" "Or is it having too much of anything?" "Is that the problem?" "I don't know." "I just know I'm gonna find out who killed my father." "And when I do, they're gonna pay."
