You look great.

What you been doing?

I-- I'm a writer.

A writer, wow.

Me?

I, I'm a survey taker.

You know, like when you--

when you go to the
movies, and someone

asks you how you liked it.

That is me.

Wow, that--
that's, um, amazing.

Oh, you want to dance?

I'm actually not a big dancer.

Sorry, sir.

I don't want to
hear any excuses.

Greenbaum, fix your tie.

Get to work.

Yes, Mr. Monahan.

Benny, you're Picking upthe Japanese at 10 sharp.

I want it spotless.

In Japan, a dirty
car is an insult.

Good morning, Mr. Greco.

How's my favorite

I'm doing good, doc.

How long is this little
dig going to take?

About an hour.

Hello?

Louis, I'm going

A mocha.

It's like a coffee.

Right, boss, right.

Thank you, stupid.

Little nitwit.

Cookums?

Hey there, baby cakes.

Listen, you go with Dom

I've already had two
of those things today.

Look, I saw these dressesin the window yesterday.

Can I go get them?

Sure, honey pie, you go ahead.

All right, baby, I love you.

Are you completely--

[phone ringing]

Hello?

- How are you, dear?
- Hi, Mom.

We got your letter today.

That's a very fancyautomobile you're driving.

Fancy, shmancy, that wasa damned stupid thing to do,

Mike.

Hi, Dad.

What you do, you financedit, you leased it, what?

I, uh, I paid cash for it.

Cash?

Where'd you get
that kind of money?

I told you.

I sold a story.

Mike, listen to me, please.

You gotta think
about your future.

You were born to be a plumber.

Cats come and go.

But toilets are here forever.

People will always need aplace to take a crap, Mikey.

Always nice
talking to you, Dad.

He's upset, dear.

I think he's worried whether ornot you have met a nice girl.

Listen to your mother.

You're going to end up likeyour idiot sister, who sits home

all day watching the stupid TV.

Hello, I can hear you.

How many times I
have to tell you,

my research is very important?

Important for who?

Maybe just for mankind andthe future of our planet, Dad.

Planet, shmanet,
you're a mental case!

Instead of finding a husband,you sit in your room all day

with your martian friends.

Well, at least I'm not sittingin other people's shit all day.

Hey, hey, hey, don't knockthe hand that feeds you,

young lady.

I don't see any of youralien friends supporting you.

I don't need
your support, Dad.

Contact will be made soon.

Good, maybe one of
your space schmucks

will come down and
abduct you, maybe

put a ring on your finger.

Oh, what a whack.

So have you?

Have I what?

Met anyone.

Yeah, actually, I
am seeing someone.

He's met someone.

So who is she, dear?

Just this girl.

In fact, she's waiting
for me right now.

So I got to go, Mom.

Bye.

So where's the babe?

Isn't there somewhere
you're supposed to be?

Excuse me, Mr. Lady Killer.

[dance music]

Pardon me?

Is the girl with
the macarena here?

No.

[dance music]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Michael?

Ma, who died?

No one died, why?

Because you're calling me at4:00 in the morning again, Ma.

You have daylight
savings mixed up, dear.

It's seven.

That's Jersey time,
Ma, Jersey time.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was just wondering,
is it for real?

If what's for real?

This girl, the
one you're seeing.

Is it serious?

Come on, Ma!

Yeah, it's serious, OK?

It is?

Yeah, but I gotta get upfor work in a couple hours.

So please?

Who is she?

Goodnight, Ma, goodnight.

Michael?

Michael?

[chatter]

Excuse me.

[dance music]

You're up.

Come on.

[dance music]

OK, thank you, ladies.

Last look, ladies.

All right, that's all.

Miss thing?

You with the red
thing on your hip.

Me?

Come here.

Maggie, Maggie, let's notwaste time with her, OK?

Please, trust me on this one.

The girl's got
something special.

I don't see it.

That's why I'm
the choreographer.

Guys, guys, guys,
we don't have all day.

Sweetie, what's your name?

Lola Gomez.

And tell me about
yourself, Lola.

I'm from Mexico.

How long have
you been dancing?

Since I was five.

How long have you lived here?

About six months.

You have a work permit?

Yes.

Hal, we got to move it along.

I couldn't agree more.

OK, call backs are in a week.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

And if you make
it back, we'll need

to copy of the work permit.

Of course.

Thank you.

[speaking spanish]

Jose, clear the
table, mi amor.

Thank you.

What is wrong?

[speaking spanish]

You can tell me.

What is it?

Do not worry.

Things will work out.

You will see.

They promised you
the papers, no?

Lola, even if it don't workout, there are other ways.

Lucinda, she paid
some guy to marry her.

She got her green card.

Raul, this is my niece.

When she marries, it willbe for love, not a card.

Turn the chicken.

I'm not worried about that.

Then what?

These dancers I'm
up against here,

they come from rich families.

They went to the best schools,had the best teachers.

They've performed inplaces I can only dream of.

Lolita, money is nothing.

[speaking spanish] what
they do not have, heart.

But I'm so scared.

What if they don't pick me?

If you want it, Lolita,
set the fire free.

I have.

No, no really, set it free.

Yes!

Yes!

[speaking spanish]

[dance music]

[clapping]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Mike, did I wake you up?

Ma, you are doing it again.

It's your father.

He's such a worry wart.

His blood pressure is up again.

He'd like to know.

Know what?

What this girl's
intentions are.

What?

He'd like to
believe it's serious.

Mom, I told you already.

I know it's serious.

But how serious?

Serious, Ma, serious, sovery, very, incredibly serious.

In fact, you know what?

We're living together.

You happy now?

You live together?

Yeah we do, OK?

Goodnight, Ma.

Christ.

Mike, got any quarters?

Are you serious?

You said you were
bringing quarters.

All I got is a five.

Go get some change.

[MUSIC - LOS DEL RIO, "LA MACARENA"]

Mike!

Mike!

What?

Jesus, what are you doing?

She was right here, Benny.

She was right here.

Who?

That dancer girl
from the club.

You got to get a grip, man.

You've got to stop
thinking about her.

I can't.

Give it up, Mikey.

You're never going to get her.

Why not?

Because she's probably goingout with someone who can dance,

like John Travolta.

What are you saying?

I can't dance.

I'm saying you
dance like a duck.

And hips, shake,
shake, shake, and turn.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Goes hips, and hips, shake,shake, shake, and turn.

OK, come on.

Find your partner.

Let's go.

One, two, three, four, five,six, seven, eight, yeah, OK.

Let's see some energy.

Keep it going.

[phone ringing]

Ma.

No, it's your father.

My God, don't you
people ever sleep?

Listen to me.

Your mother is in
a panic, all right?

She was up all night.

Her ulcer is all flared
up and everything.

Now, what's with this girl?

Are you really living with her?

Look, I'm trying
to sleep here, OK?

I cannot talk about
this right now.

The hell you can't.

You know, we have--

Mikey, I gotta go!

I want to finish this
later, take care.

Why don't you save
us all some money,

go into the demolition business.

The resort's number is here.

You can use this plate.

And you may drink
from this glass.

Please, be sure to turnthe gas off, if you could.

Now, Lulu gets hermedicine at 4:00 o'clock.

You will talk to her
twice a day in English

so she doesn't get lonely.

Yeah, my little pumpkin.

Don't leave the lights on.

And do not use this room.

I don't like fingerprintson the marble.

Now, when you take
a bath, a bano.

It's bano.

Whatever.

Don't even think about
using my bathtub.

There's one in the
maid's quarters.

OK.

And stay away
from my Ming vase.

This is worth more thanyou'll see in your lifetime.

Selma, let's go!

Come on!

Coming.

Bring my bags.

[speaking spanish]

Oh, be sure and start
my car for the battery.

Oh, and one other thing.

I don't want anyone, Imean anyone, in the house.

Is that understood?

Yes, of course.

No, no, no, no,
I mean, comprendo.

Christ, she's got it.

I don't trust her kind.

Enjoy yourself, Lola.

All right, I'm ready.

I'm gonna miss you.

Get in.

OK, let's go.

[dance music]

Lola, why don't you pop thetrunk, and let's take a look,

OK?

Hey, Mikey, you give
me a hand over here, OK?

I think this lady'shaving the same problem I

had with my Ferrari last week.

Come on.

Don't you ever get
tired of the bullshit?

Hey, just focus, Mikey.

Come on.

Lola, this is-- this isMike, my business partner.

And we actually-- we
buy, sell, and own

several of the propertieshere in this neighborhood.

OK, give it a shot.

Should be all set?

It works.

Thank you, Mike.

You're welcome.

Yeah, Thank you, Mike.

Oh, you know what?

You better call London,
see if that $10 million

transfer made it
into our account.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

I really appreciate
you fixing my car.

It's not a problem.

Is there anything else
that needs fixing?

No, nothing I can think of.

OK, then, you know, maybe--

maybe we could have dinner?

That's very kind of you.

But, no thank you.

You have a boyfriend
or something?

No, but you've got a wife.

Actually, my wife, shepassed away three years ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

No, no, it's all right.

It's all right.

I just-- just thought we could,you know, have dinner and talk.

OK.

But just dinner, nada mas.

Yeah, absolutely, where
would you like to go?

Che Philippe.

How about I pick
you up at eight?

How about I meet you there?

Yes.

We'll meet at 8.

OK.

[phone ringing]

Leanne speaking!

Leanne, Mike
Greenbaum calling.

Hi.

Mike, hi, how are you?

Good, you know, I just
wanted to call and thank

you for the other night.

I had a really great time.

Yeah, me too.

It was-- I mean,
I never imagined

that you like the macarena.

That place was
really rocking, huh?

Especially when that
masked girl came on.

I know.

Isn't she great?

Wherever she is, the
crowd just goes wild.

You wouldn't
happen to know where

she is tonight, would you?

Well, it's
different every night.

But, hey, if we hit some ofthe clubs, we could find her.

I would love to, actually.

But my car is in the shop.

No problem, I'll
swing by, really.

How's 9:00 o'clock?

Good, see you then.

Woo-hoo!

Hey, honey pie,
where's junior?

She's at my mom's.

Where are you going?

The office, Monahan, he'son a mission, I'm telling you.

Bullshit, Tony, youare not dressed for work.

It's night.

Things, they're a
little more casual.

Are you wearing cologne?

No, it's the Japanese.

They get very--

You are a lying
bastard, you know that?

Do you want to destroy
our lives, Tony?

You know what, how about this?

How about I help you with that?

Let's just destroy everything.

Deborah!

Why not!

Why not Tony!

How about this!

How about this!

No!

How about it?

Don't, don't do it, Debbie.

Either jump or
shut up, will you!

Mind your own
business, you fat ass!

Mind my own business,
you white trash!

Deb!
Come on inside.

Look, I'm calling the office.

Then call them, Tony!

I'm trying to have dinner!

Oh yeah you big pig!

This is you!

Hello?

We got a problem.

Tony, what's up?

You know the rich
chick in the Porsche?

She's waiting for me,
but Deb is freaking out.

And I can't get down there.

So you got to go.

Call the restaurant.

Deb is going to kill herself.

I'm calling the police now.

You call the police!

And you get the
zookeeper to get you.

I got $13 in my pocket.

They wouldn't even let
me in to Che Philipe.

I'm not asking you to eat.

Just go down there and
apologize for me, OK?

You tell your
boss that you have

a life outside of the office.

Honey, I am telling him.

Mr. Monahan, I am spendingthe evening with my family.

And that is that.

Uh-huh.

Shit.

I'm just going to
be a minute or two.

Yeah, I'm looking fora young woman named Lola.

This way.

Hi.

Hi.

I, oh, excuse me.

Seat.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Tony is not going to make it.

He did his thing.

And so he, unfortunately, had--

I'm so glad you could come.

I'm glad I don't
have to eat alone.

Mademoiselle has orderedthe chateau Latreau, 1977.

Would you care for the same,or perhaps another vintage?

Well, actually, that's--the thing is, I don't.

Oh, it's very nice.

You should taste it.

She is absolutely correct.

It is one of the best bottlesyou can get in the $300 to $500

range.

Oh, the special
for today for two,

which I have already
suggested, is the duck.

Would you like to share it?

Share it?

No, I want my own.

She has quite an appetite, no?

Monsieur?

Well, actually, I'm not surethat I'm going to be able to--

Table for my guests.

The duck sounds great.

I would like a duck.

Two-- two ducks.

Oui, oui.

I recommend the Merlot, 1966.

A bit more expensive, but verycomplimentary to the duck.

You know, I'm--

I'm not--

Oh, I love that wine.

Very good.

So it sounds like you and Tonyare doing a lot of business.

Oh, yeah, well, you
know, we're buying.

And we're selling.
What do you do?

What is it that you do?

Internationalarchitecture landscaping.

We own offices all
around the world.

So you must travel a lot.

- Sometimes.
- That's great.

The contract.

Can be.

But since I broke up with myex-boyfriend Prince Alberto

III, it's been a bit lonely.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, don't be.

He was a jerk.

What about you?

Me?

A guy like you must beinvolved with a beautiful girl.

Yeah.

Yeah, she's really beautiful.

Jager's my flavor.

Be right back.

Focus, focus, focus.

vintage, which will

superbly accompany the salad.

Thank you.

Aren't you going
to smell the cork?

Smell the cork?

It is a $700 bottle of wine.

Perfect.

Could I have some ice, please?

Ice?

Yeah, I'm a little.

A flower for the lady.

Ah!

For you.

You're welcome.

Your girlfriend is very lucky.

Why's that?

Because you're

[yelping]

[dance music]

May I recommend a digestivand after dinner drink?

Yes.

We can't really afford
a place like that.

You know that?

You're buying, huh?

What's the occasion?

Listen to me.

Get down here, and bring

[sirens]

Set me up an IV!

I'm OK.

No, it's OK.

I feel better.

You're feeling better?

I get these flare

The thing is--

[gasping]

He's better?

He's OK?

Could be a bad reaction
to food poisoning?

Food poisoning?

No!

Nurse!

Nurse, get these
people out of here!

100 joules!

- Clear!
- Again.

[shouting]

[giggling]

[MUSIC - LOS DEL RIO, "LA MACARENA"]

[giggling]

He's got a pulse.

I'm sorry about
the strawberries.

I had no idea that you
were allergic to them.

Look, I didn't
really have a seizure.

I was supposed to go inthere, tell you that Tony

couldn't make it, and go home.

Why didn't you?

I don't know.

It just got so out of control.

I knew I didn't have
money to pay the check.

And the waiter just
keep coming, and coming.

But I thought you and Tonywere big time developers.

No, we're broke.

Tony just said that
to impress you.

You kept ordering
all this expensive food

knowing you had no money?

I kept ordering.

You ordered a whole
duck, for Christ's sake!

[laughter]

What?

What's so funny?

I almost had a heart attack.

Why didn't you just
tell me the truth.

You rich people have no ideawhat it's like to be broke.

I was completely humiliated.

It wasn't that bad.

Not that bad?

I ditched the check,
got fired from my job,

and got fried at the hospital.

What else can go wrong?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Mike?

Guess where we are?

Ma?

On a plane.

They have phones
on airplanes now.

What are you doing
on a plane, Ma?

Well, we just took off.

We're coming for the weekendto meet your girlfriend

and see your place.

Why, why, why,
why, why didn't you

tell me you're coming to visit?

Well, I wanted to.

But your father wanted
to surprise you.

Aren't you excited?

Yeah.

Now, it's flight?

409.

409 from Newark,
arriving at 5:10.

OK, Ma, see you there.

I'm dead.

I'm dead.

I'm so dead.

What's wrong?

My parents are flying
in for the weekend.

So?

So my family thinks I'm thishotshot writer with a big house

and an expensive car.

You lied to them too?

I had to.

They don't get it, you know?

My dad wants me to be a plumber.

I'm such a schmuck.

Well, why don't you
bring them to my house,

and tell them it's yours?

You mean, like I own it?

You're a good
liar, aren't you?

Yeah.

I mean, no.

This isn't happening.

I got to pick up Monahan andthe Japanese in half an hour.

Why am I doing this?

Do you think we'll

So don't bring it up.

No, no, not a word.

Much better, thank you.

So tell me, how

Oh yes, how long?

[speaking spanish]

Pardon?

Half an hour.

Half an hour?

She's got a bad tooth.

Mr. Greco's in Vegas.

But he said the doctor
will fix her up.

But it's not possible.

What do you mean it's notpossible, you little bitch,

I'm in pain!

He's not here.

What's going on?

Not here, huh?

Not here?

We want you to fix her tooth.

Find a dentist.

Don't mess with us.

You either fix her tooth, or I'mgoing to shoot you in the face.

No, no, the dentist
will fix her tooth.

Take her over there
in the dental room.

We'll be right there.

Don't touch me.

Come on, stupid.

You are so stupid,
and you're fat.

What the hell is going on?

- You have to fix her tooth.- Me?

I'm not a dentist.

And I'm not the
owner of this house.

What?

This is not my house.

What do you mean
it's not your house?

Who the hell's house is it?

I also a confession to make.

This house belongs to my boss.

He's on vacation.

I'm just house sitting.

He's the dentist.

You mean, my
parents are sleeping

in the house of some dentist?

Yes, but it's OK.

He's away for two weeks.

I'm dead.

I'm so dead.

Doc!

She's in pain!

Let's go!

- You have to do it.
- Are you crazy?

I don't know how to do that.

So pretend, they're dangerous.

They're hit men.

Doc, we're losing her.

If she dies, everyone dies.

Michael, do you have guests?

Go back to sleep, OK.

Please, go back to bed.

Don't talk to your mother likethat, you little piece of shit.

Sorry, Ma.

We have to go.

Hello, hello, I'm Doris.

Hi, I'm Louis.

What's taking so long?

Let's go, hurry up.

You go fix him a drink.

And I'll take care of her.

OK, let's just have
a drink over here.

Just give me some drugs, lady.

So Louis, what
exactly do you do?

I run the show for Mr. Greco.

Show business, are you
an actor, or a writer?

What do you do?

I make people disappear.

A magician?

Splendid, have a cookie.

I made them myself, fat free.

Can I have two?

Sure.

Thank you.

Doctor, she's ready.

OK, we're going
to fix her right up.

So don't worry.

OK, now, where does it hurt?

OK, do you brush much?

Is this an interview?

You gonna fix my tooth?

Sure.

Open wide.

Aye!

Excuse me.

It's her wisdom tooth.

It's infected.

What do you want me to do?

- You have to pull it?
- Are you crazy?

I can't pull a tooth.

You have to!

I cannot do it!

What's with the chitchat?

We're going to be withyou in just a jiffy, sir.

We're just a little--
we're just consulting.

You got to try the
old lady's cookies.

They're unbelievable.

What kind?

Oatmeal, fat free, come on.

Ow!

Ow!

Just give her something.

Novocaine, it
will knock her out.

Good.

[moaning]

Me?

Yes, you're the dentist.

This will do it?

Oh yes, she will
sleep for three days.

Is this going to hurt?

No, you'll just
feel a little prick.

It won't hurt.
I promise.

[yelp]

Doing the best I can.

Relax, it will be very quick.

[shrieking]

So when the medication wearsoff, she should be like new.

Doc, your mom's
the best, all right?

So you better have
respect for her.

OK.

Yeah, you better have respect.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, you should try this shit.

Thank God it's over.

What are you
trying to do to me?

I thought I was helping you.

Helping me?

How?

How are you helping me?

By letting you
stay in my house.

It's not your house.

Your parents don't know that.

Relax.

Relax?

How would you feel
if your mom was

sleeping in some
random dentist's bed

serving cookies to a hit man?

I thought I had
honesty problems.

You know something,
you're right?

You want honesty.

I'll give you honest.

Why don't we wake
up your parents

and tell them the truth,right now mister big shot.

Are you trying
to destroy my life?

You are not the onlyone taking risks here, OK?

If my boss knew what
I was doing for you,

I would never get my
work permit, never.

I would lose everything.

I don't know why I'm
trying to help you.

You don't like me?

Fine, I'm not crazy
about you either.

But just keep this
up for two more days.

And then you never have
to talk to me again.

- Fine.
- OK, fine.

Fine.

Perfect!

You are not.

This is my son's house.

- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

It-- it's his house.

What?

Lola, is this true?

This is the real Dr. Henson.

Mikey, you mean this

You are not a dentist?

Mr. Greco, what a--

What can I do for you?

Forget about what

Look at what you did to her.

I don't understand.

[mumbling]

Yeah, little cookie,
I know it's him.

Ow!

No!

I guess a blow job
is out of the question.

Oh no!

I-- I can glue it.

Let's get out of here.

I'm going to take
you for a mocha.

I'm so sorry.

But, but what
are we going to do?

The dentist is going tocall [speaking spanish]..

It doesn't matter.

I'm going home tomorrow.

Going home?

[speaking spanish]

Don't you see
everything I did?

I-- I've hurt you all.

And I'm not going
to do it any more.

I want to go to
the airport now.

I told you, Max, our
special fare tickets

are only good for tomorrow.

I've never been so
humiliated in my life.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Where did I go wrong?

How did I screw up?

I tried so hard to
guide you, to give

you opportunities I never had.

Dad, you don't understand.

It's not about opportunities.

Michael, I'm not finished!

Why the hell do
you think I named

the company Greenbaum and Son?

That's your problem, Dad.

It's all about
you, what you feel,

what you think I should do.

I have my own plans.

I have my own dream.

Dream?

This is a nightmare!

Max, your blood pressure.

He lied to us?

That's because nothing Iever do is good enough for you!

You hear this, Doris?

Now it's my fault
that he's a failure.

It's not about
success or failure, Dad.

I don't love you because
you're a plumber.

I love you because
you're my father.

It would be nice if
you could do the same.

If you loved me, if
you loved your mother,

you'd move back home.

I can't do that, dad.

Then there's nothing
more to talk about.

Are you sure?

No listing under Jose Gomez?

Thanks.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Mike?

Lola, I have beenlooking everywhere for you.

I'm so sorry that
things got messed up.

No, it's my fault.

Tell your parents I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry this happened.Bye.

No, don't!
Lola!

Yeah, she could
go at any minute.

It's my last wish.

That's too bad.

Come on.

Paul, how can you
be so insensitive?

Look at the poor thing.

Here you go, honey,

Thank you.

Great, what has
gotten into your brain?

We've been waiting inthis line for three hours.

Oh, me, me, me, me,it's all about you, is it?

Obviously, the
sacrament of marriage

means nothing to a man like you.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I do
not wish to exchange

the vows of marriage
with a man like you.

No, Darlene, don't say that.

Come on.

We are gathered here todaybecause Mike Greenbaum and Lola

Gomez have decided
