"What are you suggesting?" "That he come here and stay in my room." "Are you out of your mind?" "No, I'm not." "Anyway, I think that he'd be much more comfortable here than he would..." "Who gives a shit?" "I do." "You poor sucker." "You poor, washed-up papa's boy." "All right, let's not get out of hand." "Please, don't get in the middle of this, Mr. Sherman."

"As your accountant, Mr. Sherman, yes." "Where are you going to sleep?" "I'm just going to camp out upstairs." "We brought our sleeping bag..." "Uzi!" "We don't mind, Dad." "We like him." "Who, Pappy?" ""Pappy"?" "He can sleep in the room above us." "Ari, it's not your decision." "Nor is it yours." "Well, he's already up there." "What?" "!" "I think he's asleep because of the medication he's on but I..." "I guess you can wake him up and throw him out... if Mom says it's okay." "Get out." "All right." "Let me just collect my things."

"Please don't come in this room." "Chas has those boys cooped up like a pair ofjackrabbits, Etheline." "He has his reasons." "Oh, I know that but you can't raise boys to be scared of life." "You got to brew some recklessness into them." "I think that's terrible advice." "No, you don't." "We take boxing and self-defense classes." "I'm not talking about dance lessons." "I'm talking about putting a brick through the other guy's windshield." "I'm talking about taking it out and chopping it up." "What do you mean?"

"30 years ago, I was knifed in a bazaar in Calcutta." "He carried me to the hospital on his back." "Who stabbed you?" "He did." "Yeah, there was a price on my head and he was a hired assassin." "Stuck me right in the gut with a shiv." "Hey!" "What?" "Where have you been?" "Uh, we just stepped out to get some air." "What's that?" "Holy shit." "That's not?" "What is that?" "Oh, no, no, that's, uh, dog's blood." "Come here." "What?" "You stay away from my children." "Do you understand?" "My God, I haven't been in here for years." "Hey!" "Are you listening to me!" "Yes, I am!" "I think you've having a nervous breakdown!" "I don't think you recovered from Rachael's death." "I..." "There you are." "How are you feeling?" "I'm having a ball." "Scrapping and yelling and mixing it up." "Loving every minute with this damn crew." "I want to thank you for raising our children by the way." "Okay." "I'm not kidding." "You always put them first, didn't you?" "I tried to." "Lately I feel like maybe I didn't do such a great job." "Goddamn it, don't do that to yourself." "I'm the one that failed them." "Or, anyway, it's nobody's fault." "Plus, that - it doesn't..." "Why didn't you give a damn about us, Royal?" "Why didn't you care?" "I don't know." "I'm ashamed of myself." "I'll tell you one thing, though... you got more grit, fire and guts than any woman I have ever met." "What... what are you smiling about?" "Nothing." "No, wha..." "what's so funny?" "Nothing." "It's these little expressions of yours." "I don't know what you're talking about but I'll take it as a compliment." "You're true blue, Ethel." "You really are." "How's your love life?" "None of your business." "I'd like you to talk to Royal about us if you don't mind." "I don't think the timing's right for that, Henry." "Well, I'd agree if I thought he was really going to die in six weeks but I don't." "Well, I hope you're right." "Actually, I don't believe I'll join you tonight." "I'll call you in the morning." "She said that?" "Great." "Got the sucker on the ropes." "Can I ask you something, Hank?" "Okay." "Are you trying to steal my woman?" "I beg your pardon?" "You heard me, Coltrane." "Coltrane?" "What?" "Did you just call me "Coltrane"?" "No." "You didn't?" "No." "Okay." "But if I did... you wouldn't be able to do anything about it, would you?" "You don't think so?" "No, I don't." "Listen, Royal if you think you can march in here..." "You want to talk some jive?" "I'll talk some jive." "I'll talk some jive like you've never heard." " Oh, yeah?" " Right on!" " Sit down." " What?" "!" "Wh-what did you say?" "I said sit down, goddamn it!" "Oh, I heard you!" "I want you out of my house!" "This is not your house!" "I want your raggedy ass out!" "Don't talk semantics with me." "Oh, this is not your..." "What's going on here?" "Nothing." "Mmm." "Hello, I'm calling in regards to a Dr. McClure - yes - at Colby General." "The name of the patient is Royal Tenenbaum." "Hmm..." "Is that a Tic-Tac?" "How much is he paying you?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Well, I grew up with the Tenenbaum family, you know." "Right." "Across the street." "Mm-hmm." "They've fallen on hard times now, haven't they?" "I can't say no." "This is bullshit." "Change it, huh?" "What did you do to your hand?" "Uh, nothing." "Can we get somebody over here to kill these mice for us?" "No." "They belong to Chas." "Or anyway, he invented them." "Well, get him to stick them in a fucking cage or something." "Etheline... mind coming up here for a minute, please?" "What's cooking, Pops?" "You'll see." "Now, your previous novel..." "Yes." "Wildcat." "Right." "Not a success." "Why?" "Well, Wildcat was written in a kind of obsolete vernacular..." "Wildcat..." "Wild... cat..." "Wildcat..." "I'm going to go." "I'm taking this off and I'm going." "Stepping out." "What the hell kind of way to act is that?" "Open the door." "He's on drugs." "I'll be right back." "James Bradley..." "Hold on a minute, please." "What's going on?" "Pagoda has something to say." "He has a cancer." "No, he doesn't." "I know what stomach cancer looks like." "I've seen it." "And you don't eat three cheeseburgers a day with French fries if you got it." "The pain is excruciating." "How would you know?" "My wife had it." "Not only is there no Dr. McClure at Colby General there is no Colby General." "It closed in 1974." "Aw, shit, man." "Oh, shit, man." "Yes, can you send a taxi to 111 Archer Avenue right away, please?" "Thank you." "I guess we're back out on the street, huh, pal?" "Were you part of this, Pagoda?" "Of course he was." "No, well, yeah, he was but, I mean, he wasn't that involved." "Where'd you get all these medical supplies?" "A guy at St. Pete's owed me a favor." "I did some malpractice work for him." "I do have high blood pressure, though." "Look, I know I'm going to be the bad guy on this one." "But I just want to say, the last six days have been the best six days of probably my whole life." "Immediately after making this statement" "Royal realized that it was true." "Why'd you do this to us, Royal?" "What was the point?" "I thought I could win you back." "And then I thought I could get rid of Henry... and at least keep the status quo." "But we hadn't spoken in seven years." "I know." "Plus, uh..." "I was broke." "And I got kicked out of my hotel." "You're a bastard." "Good-bye, Royal." "Take it easy on those boys, Chassie." "I don't want this to happen to you." "You know, Richie, this illness, this closeness to death has had a profound effect on me." "I-I feel like a different person, I really do." "Dad, you were never dying." "But I'm going to live." "He's not your father." "Neither are you." "You son of a bitch!" "God... damn..." "That's the last time you put a knife in me, hear me?" "The 375th Street Y, please." "Everyone's against me." "It's your fault, man." "Yeah, I know, but damn it, I want this family to love me." "How much money you got?" "I don't have." "What, you're broke?" "You got to be kidding me." "How are we going to pay for this room?" "All right, we'll think of something." "Ow." "I'm not in love with you anymore." "I didn't know you ever were." "Let's not make this any more difficult than it already is." "Okay." "Okay, what?" "Okay, I'm not in love with you, either." "Yes, I know;" "you're in love with Richie which is sick and gross." "Do you send my mother your clippings... and your grades from college?" "Please stop belittling me." "You never gave me the time of day till I started getting good reviews." "Your reviews aren't that good." "But the sales are." "Gentlemen... how much do you already know?" "Very little, I'm afraid." "Would you like to examine the report?" "Yes."

"Well, um, I think Eli maybe..." "Hold it." "Pagoda, meet me in the lobby." "Let's hit it." "I didn't mean right this second, but... that's okay." "I don't think it was Ramses."

"Okay." "Are we still friends?" "What do you mean?" "Are we?" "Of course." "How can you even ask me that?" "Well, it doesn't matter." "It doesn't matter?" "It does matter."

"Can't somebody be a shit their whole life and try to repair the damage?" "I-I mean, I think people want to hear that." "Do they?" "Mmm." "You probably don't even know my middle name." "That's a trick question." "You don't have one." "Helen." "That was my mother's name." "I know it was." "Anybody interested in grabbing a couple burgers and hitting the cemetery?" "I got something for you, Ethel." "Actually, I made it." "What's this?" "It's a divorce." "From you?" "Yes." "This is Sanchez." "He's a notary public." " Hello." " Hello, sir." "You just sign here and initial here and sign there." "You own this building, don't you, Henry?" "Hmm." "It's magnificent." "I used to be a homeowner myself until our son expropriated it from me." "I got to catch my bus." "Thanks, Sanchez." "You're welcome." "Are we divorced?" "Almost." "Sanchez just has to file the papers." "I love you, Etheline." "Congratulations to both of you." "I didn't think so much of him at first." "But now I get it." "He's everything that I'm not." "Take back Pagoda, will you?" "Uh, slightly uneven." "Looks okay." "You're just nervous." "Henry?" "Hello, Richie." "Hi." "This is my son, Walter Sherman." "Hi, Walter." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Henry's your dad?" "Yes." "So you've been married before." "Yes." "I'm a widower." "Oh, yeah." "I forgot." "You know, I'm a widower myself." "I know you are, Chas." "What are you chewing on?" "My nicotine inhaler." "It's supposed to help me quit." "Is it working?" "Not really." "Well, of course, I'm half Hebrew but the children are three-quarters Mick Catholic." "So they were raised in the church?" "I believe so." "I really don't know." "Here I come." "Boys!" "What was that?" "Eli just crashed his car into the front of the house." "Oh, my God." "Where's my shoe?" "Ari, Uzi, where are you?" "They're okay, Chas." "It's okay." "They're safe." "They're safe." "Dad, they ran over Buckley." "What?" "Yeah, I think we lost Buckley." "He saved them." "Who?" "Dad." "He pulled them out of the way." "You did?" "Did I hit anyone?" "Is everybody okay?" "Eli!" "What's going on?" "Eli!" "What?" "Hey, man." "You should try this." "It's very tasty." "Tenenbaum!" "Chas?" "Did I hit the dog?" "Yeah." "Is he dead?" "Yeah." "I need help." "So do I." "Go around to the other side." "You kids stay there." "We'll be right back." "Yeah." "Can I say something to you, Henry?" "Okay." "I've always been considered an asshole for about as long as I can remember." "That's just my style." "But I'd really feel blue if I didn't think you were going to forgive me." "I don't think you're an asshole, Royal." "I just think you're kind of a son of a bitch." "Well, I really appreciate that." "Could you let us in your backyard, ma'am?" "We've got a couple boys back there." "I think you may have broken an ankle." "Well, that's not terribly serious, is it?" "Do you have an alternate?" "No." "Ready?" "Are there priests on call?" "Why don't you bring the car around, Anwar." "At which point, I apparently lost control of the vehicle smashed it into the house, and killed that poor dog." "You're Eli Cash." "Yes indeed, I am." "I love your work." "Oh, how sweet of you to say." "DISPATCHER ..." "78-35, Code Six." "105 North Sandler..." "I think he's part mutt." "What kind of papers do you have for him?" "Spark Plug, sit, sit." "Good boy." "Put this on." "What's so funny, Dudley?" "You look great." "Can you see out of it?" "Not really." "Uh-huh." "Minor corneal damage." "Page me if it spreads to the other eye." "Who do I make it out to?" "Alex?" "Okay." "But these aren't structure-bearing elements, Dad." "It doesn't matter." "It's still best to file another force majeure and recoup the deductible." "You boys come up here with me." "But Buckley's still under there." "I know, but there's nothing we can do for him at the moment." "Come on." "I got you a new dog for the boys." "I just bought him." "You did?" "Sorry I let you down, Chas." "All of you." "I been trying to make it up to you." "What's his name?" "Spark Plug." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "I've had a rough year, Dad." "I know you have, Chassie." "Hey." "See, now he has more white feathers on his neck." "I wonder what happened to him?" "I don't know." "Sometimes if a person has a traumatic experience their hair turns white." "Well, I'm sure he'll get over it." "This was one of my first hiding places." "How old do you think those are?" "I'd say about ten years." "Come here." "Royal dug a hole for Buckley behind the garden shed and buried him in a canvas duffel bag." "All right, boys." "Say a prayer." "Dear Heavenly Father..." "I do." "Etheline and Henry were married 48 hours later in judge's chambers." "Margot's new play was produced at the Cavendish Theatre." "This is my adopted daughter, Elaine Levinson." "It ran for just under two weeks and received mixed reviews." "Yes, can the boy tell time?" "Oh, my Lord, no." "No." "No." "Raleigh and Dudley went on a lecture tour to 11 universities in the promotion of their new book." "Eli checked himself into a rehabilitation hospital in North Dakota." "Oh, hey, this is my sponsor, Runs With Two Horses." "Wind's blowing up a gale today." "This is the grip that Rod Laver used." "Are you familiar with Laver?" "Richie started a program teaching competitive tennis to eight-to-12 year olds at the 375th Street Y." "Game." "Change sides." "Royal had a heart attack at the age of 68." "Chas rode with him in the ambulance and was the only witness to his father's death." "In his will, he stipulated that his funeral take place at dusk." "Among the few possessions he left to his heirs was a set of Encyclopedia Britannica in storage at the Lindbergh Palace Hotel under the names Ari and Uzi Tenenbaum." "No one spoke at the funeral and Father Petersen's leg had not yet mended... but it was agreed among them that Royal would have found the event to be most satisfactory." "Fire!"
