Congratulations.
You've demonstrated
your desire to succeed
by making it to disc five
in my series,
"making it big
the dockery way."
Let's get started.
Success in business
relies on strict adherence
to a simple maxim:
never sell anyone
what they need,
sell them what they want.
Sales begin with the self.
Sell yourself first
to each client,
that client will buy
whatever product you have.
Your product: would you buy it?
Your service: would you use it?
If the answer is no,
then your clients
will feel the same way.
Don't quit.
U.s. Grant was a drunken failure
at every turn
until the civil war.
Then he became president.
Abraham lincoln went broke
five times.
In the words of
winston spencer churchill:
"never give up. Never, never,
never give up."
Self-doubt is self-defeat.
Prospective buyers will be
drawn to your self-confidence.
If they sense doubt in you,
they will look elsewhere.
- CAESAR. I FORGIVE YOU.
- ...read that best-seller
you heard about.
[can clinking]
- no one is even discussing it.
Well-rounded and personable
trumps narrow and boring
every time.
Do you like money?
Who doesn't.
[clicks off]
- GOOD.
GOOD. BE A GOOD DOG, CAESAR.
[patting]
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE A GOOD DOG.
STAY.
[door closes]
[dog whimpers]
[dings]
- AH...
DYNAMITE SUIT, PHILIP.
- YOU LIKE? IT'S
AN OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED DKNY.
- ACTUALLY, IT'S ARMANI.
- DO YOU THINK WE COULD SKIP
TO THE PART WHERE WE ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THE FOUR MONTHS WE DATED
WERE JUST A BIG WASTE OF TIME?
- NO.
[clicks]
I HATE THAT PART.
- SO YOU WANT TO GRAB A PIZZA
TONIGHT?
I COULD MAYBE PICK UP A MOVIE?
- I-- I WOULD LOVE TO,
BUT I REALLY DO HAVE TO
WORK LATE.
- WHAT? IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT.
- WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DO WORK TOO HARD.
OH, AND BY THE WAY,
IT WAS MORE LIKE
FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS.
[traffic sounds]
- RENEE, I GOT IT.
[chattering]
- [sighs]
[sighs]
- WOW, PHILIP.
THOSE ARE SUPER.
- DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING?
- YOU KNOW, I'D SAY
THAT YOU COULD DO THOSE
FASTER ON A COMPUTER,
BUT WHAT THE HECK DO I KNOW?
I MEAN, YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO LEFT EARLY LAST NIGHT.
- I WAS HERE UNTIL 10:00,
AND THEN I WENT HOME
AND I WORKED UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
- MIDNIGHT. MIDNIGHT,
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
THAT'S ABOUT WHEN J.D.
STROLLED INTO MY OFFICE.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE WERE
KICKING AROUND IDEAS.
NOW, HE'S ALL FIRED UP.
- WHAT DID HE SAY?
- OH...OH, DEAR.
[laughs]
- HEY, DID-- DID HE ALREADY
DECIDE TO PRESENT YOUR IDEA?
AM I WASTING MY TIME HERE?
- [laughing]
J.D.
[laughing]
- [sighs]
J.D., HERE'S A CONCEPT
THAT I CAME UP WITH LAST NIGHT
AFTER I LEFT WORK,
WHICH WAS AROUND 10:00.
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY,
YOU KNOW WHAT,
IT WAS MORE LIKE 10:30.
- PHILIP, HAVE A SEAT.
- SURE.
[clears throat]
- GENTLEMEN, THE BIG PITCH
IS UPON US.
YOUR FIRST MEETING
WITH COWBOY BOB
WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT WEDNESDAY
AT THE FOCUS GROUP.
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE LESS THAN
ONE WEEK.
IF WE LAND COWBOY BOB'S TACOS,
I'M GOING TO NEED SOMEONE
TO MAKE DECISIONS
ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS,
TAKE THE RESTAURANT WORLDWIDE.
IF IT WERE UP TO ME,
YOU'D BOTH BE PROMOTED
TO CREATIVE DIRECTOR.
BUT THERE'S ONLY ROOM
FOR ONE OF YOU UP TOP.
MANY OF YOUR CO-WORKERS' JOBS
ARE DEPENDING ON THIS ACCOUNT.
LOU, YOU'LL PITCH YOUR IDEAS
NEXT FRIDAY.
AND, PHILIP, YOU'LL HAVE
YOUR SHOT THE FOLLOWING MONDAY.
GOOD LUCK, GENTLEMEN,
MAKE ME PROUD.
- A MAN IN A COWBOY HAT
WHO SMELLS LIKE CHICKEN
IS HERE TO SEE YOU, SIR.
- THANK YOU, MS. HUFFRED.
IT'S THE CLIENT.
OFFER HIM SOME COFFEE,
SHOW HIM INTO
THE MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[traffic whooshing]
[knocking]
[sighs]
- PHILIP. AH! I KNEW YOU'D
BE HOME ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.
ALWAYS WORKING,
ALWAYS A GO-GETTER.
- [laughs nervously]
- I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
OTHERWISE, I'D HAVE TO BRING
ZACH, AND HE HATES CROWDS.
- W--WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- I JUST GOT A CALL FROM
THE SAN DIEGO INSTITUTE OF ART.
THEY WANT TO SHOW MY WORK.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!
AND I HAVE A BIG, BIG, BIG FAVOR
I NEED REPAID.
- NO, NO, NO FAVORS.
I'M REALLY VERY BUSY RIGHT--
- THE CORNERS OF THIS TABLE
ARE AS SHARP AS NAILS.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE HERE
FOR FOOD?
- AN OLD WHEEL OF BRIE?
- I'D KEEP AN EYE OUT
FOR ANYTHING BREAKABLE
NEAR THE FRONT DOOR.
- WHY?
[glass shatters]
HI, ZACH.
- DON'T WORRY, HONEY.
THE GRAVITY IS VERY GOOD
IN HERE-- I CHECKED.
- GRAVITY?
- IT'S ONLY FOR THE WEEKEND.
AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO
HAVE A GREAT TIME TOGETHER.
- WHAT? NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO. NOT OKAY.
NO. NO. I'VE GOT A BIG
PRESENTATION I'M PREPARING FOR.
- OH, COME ON, LITTLE BROTHER.
YOU AND ZACH ARE TWO PEAS
IN A POD.
HOW MANY FAVORS HAVE I DONE
FOR YOU?
- ONE? OR TWO, A COUPLE.
- TRUST ME.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING.
NOW...
[dog growls]
I'M GOING TO CALL YOU TOMORROW.
- NO, WHY ME?
- YOU'RE HIS UNCLE!
IT'S ABOUT TIME THE TWO OF YOU
SPENT SOME TIME TOGETHER.
- [sighs] NO, I CAN'T
TAKE CARE OF A KID LIKE ZACH.
I MEAN, HE'S-- HE'S, YOU KNOW.
- HE'S EIGHT.
YOU WERE EIGHT ONCE TOO,
REMEMBER?
DON'T YOU THINK I FEEL BAD
ABOUT LEAVING HIM HERE?
- [laughs]
- YOU'LL BE FINE.
NOW, YOU TWO HAVE
A GOOD TIME TOGETHER.
OKAY, I LOVE YOU BOTH.
YOU'LL BE FINE, TOO.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
- JILL--
- HE'S HUNGRY. BYE!
- WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR DINNER?
I'LL HAVE THE SALMON WELL-DONE,
NOT TOO CRISPY.
THREE LEMON WEDGES ON THE SIDE
AND SAUCE ON THE SIDE.
- AND FOR YOU?
- UH, CHEESEBURGER AND
FRENCH FRIES FOR THE LITTLE GUY.
THANK YOU.
COME ON. WHAT KID DOESN'T
LOVE FRENCH FRIES?
[chattering]
HEY, HOW ABOUT AN APPLE?
ZACH? AN NICE MANG--MANGO.
CANTALOUPE?
POWER BAR? CLIF BAR?
MET-RX BAR?
NO.
PIZZA CRUST. NO.
NO. NO, IT'S LATE.
LISTEN, BY THE TIME
I GET YOU HOME
AND COOK THIS THING
AND GET THE CHEESE TO MELT,
IT'S GOING TO BE BREAKFAST TIME,
AND...
ZACH...ZACH.
PLEASE!
IT HAS TO BE PIZZA.
ALL RIGHT.
[sighs]
WE'RE HERE, ZACH.
WE MADE IT SAFE AND SOUND.
ZACH?
HEY. COME ON.
COME ON, BUDDY.
[sighs]
OKAY.
[groans]
THERE YOU GO.
[sighs]
COME HERE.
LAY ON DOWN.
CAESAR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YOU THINK WE CAN MAKE IT
THROUGH THE WEEKEND?
[laughs]
[dog whimpering]
[traffic sounds]
[alarm beeping]
- THE CEO OF A MAJOR CORPORATION
TOLD ME ONCE
THAT HE NEVER INTENDED
TO DO BUSINESS WITH ME
AND WENT SO FAR AS
TO TELL HIS ASSISTANT
TO NEVER PUT MY CALLS THROUGH.
I PHONED TWICE A WEEK
FOR SIX MONTHS.
ONE DAY HE RELENTED
AND GAVE ME THREE MINUTES.
- [groans]
- IN LESS THAN TWO,
I HAD A MEETING...
[shuts off]
- NOW, I KNOW THIS
IS HARD FOR YOU,
BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO WATCH.
DON'T TOUCH THIS, NOW.
[dog whimpering]
OKAY, THE GRAVITY IS GOOD
IN HERE.
BUT WE HAVE TO CHECK EVERY DAY.
OTHERWISE, WE'LL FALL OFF
THE EARTH AND INTO THE SKY
AND FLOAT AWAY
WITH THE AIRPLANES
INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER.
[laughs] AND WHO WILL
TAKE CARE OF US THEN?
- GOOD MORNING.
WHAT ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR?
DON'T SAY PIZZA.
- CEREAL.
- WELL, THAT I CAN MAKE.
YOU WANT TO HELP?
HEY, ZACH, LISTEN--
I HAVE GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO DO TODAY, ALL RIGHT?
SO I REALLY NEED YOU
TO COOPERATE.
- I CAN'T EAT UNTIL ALL
MY TENNIS BALLS ARE IN PLACE.
- [sighs]
[knocking]
COME IN!
- IS CAESAR READY FOR HIS WALK?
[kissing sounds]
OH! YES, HE IS.
- THAT'S BERNADETTE.
SHE'S A DOG WALKER.
[barking]
- WHO'S THAT CUTE LITTLE BOY?
- THAT'S MY NEPHEW ZACH.
- PHILIP!
THAT'S SO SWEET.
I HAD NO IDEA.
- YEAH, LISTEN...
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD
WATCH HIM FOR ME TODAY?
I'LL PAY YOU.
- I CAN WATCH HIM UNTIL 1:00.
- THAT'S GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- NOW, LET'S SEE.
HOW AM I GOING TO WATCH YOU
AND WALK MY CLIENTS
AT THE SAME TIME?
[dog whimpers]
[barking]
OH GOOD, ZACH!
YOU'RE GOOD WITH DOGS!
WAIT! COME ON!
THERE YOU GO.
[cat meowing]
STAY! PLEASE!
[cat meowing angrily]
- HEY, GET HIM!
COME ON, GUYS! COME ON!
- OKAY.
[dogs barking]
HEY, GET HIM!
[distant dogs barking]
BYE!
- [groans]
- CATS CAN CLIMB TREES!
- WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I THOUGHT THAT BERNADETTE
WAS WATCHING YOU UNTIL 1:00?
- THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!
- I CAN'T WATCH YOU RIGHT NOW.
I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
- MOM SAID YOU'D TAKE ME
TO THE AIRPORT
TO WATCH THE PLANES TODAY.
- AIRPORT, NO.
I CANNOT TAKE YOU TO THE--
- WHERE'S MY MOM?
- SHE'S AT HER ART SHOW,
AND SHE'S GOING TO BE BACK ON--
- I'M BORED.
- JEEZ. YESTERDAY I COULDN'T
GET YOU TO SAY A WORD.
NOW, I CAN'T GET YOU
TO SHUT YOUR--
- MOM SAYS MY MOUTH RUNS
A MILE A MINUTE.
- YOUR MOUTH, HUH?
[sighs]
♪
- MORE TAFFY!
TAFFY! TAFFY! TAFFY!
[laughs]
MMM.
MMM!
- MMM.
- [laughs]
- IT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS.
[dog whimpers]
- HI, CAESAR.
[beeps]
- YOU HAVE ONE UNHEARD MESSAGE
SENT TODAY AT 1:02 PM.
FIRST UNHEARD MESSAGE.
- HEY, ZACH, PHILLY-DILLY.
HELLO FROM SUNNY SAN DIEGO.
THE SHOW IS AMAZING!
JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY STOPPED BY
TO SEE MY ART.
I'VE EVEN HAD A FEW OFFERS.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.
I'LL BE HOME TOMORROW, ZACH.
I LOVE YOU.
BE GOOD TO YOUR UNCLE PHILIP,
AND LET HIM GET SOME WORK DONE.
I TOLD YOU HOW HE GETS
SOMETIMES.
OKAY. BYE!
[beeps]
- END OF MESSAGES.
[keys jingling]
- [laughs]
NOW, YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF
WHENEVER YOU WANT.
[dog groans]
[cars honking]
[knocking]
- [sighs]
WHAT NOW?
- [gasps]
HENRY! LET'S PLAY!
- [laughs]
[dog growls]
- COOL!
- ROY, ROY.
YOU REMEMBER WE MET ABOUT
A YEAR AGO AT ZACH'S PARTY.
- YEAH, ROY. I REMEMBER YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
- GOOD.
- YEAH.
AH, DID JILL SEND YOU
TO CHECK UP ON ME?
- [laughs]
NO.
- WELL, YOU--
YOU WANT TO COME IN?
- NO, NO. ACTUALLY...
YOU MIND IF WE TALK OUT
IN THE HALLWAY JUST FOR MINUTE?
- SURE.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
WHAT...WHAT'S GOING ON?
- UH, PHILIP, THERE'S BEEN
AN ACCIDENT.
IT'S JILL.
SHE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
- UH, WHEN?
- WELL, IT HAPPENED
THIS AFTERNOON IN SAN DIEGO.
- OKAY. IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
- SHE...SHE DIED, PHILIP.
- UH...WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.
I-- I-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
- I'M SORRY, MAN. I JUST WANTED
TO TELL YOU IN PERSON.
THE POLICE,
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ZACH.
AND SINCE I RAN
THE DAYCARE CENTER,
THEY-- THEY CALLED ME.
[dog barking]
- I LOVE YOUR MODEL PLANE!
- COOL, MAN!
- WHAT AM I-- WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO TELL ZACH?
- I'M SORRY.
- [makes plane noises]
[distant sirens]
[traffic sounds]
- WEE!
[laughs]
[makes rocket sounds]
WEE!
- WELL, I HOPE
I'M NOT RUINING YOUR WEEKEND.
- NOT AT ALL.
I FEEL HORRIBLE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
- IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
- HOW'S ZACH?
- UM, HE DOESN'T KNOW YET.
- YOU'RE AWARE THAT ZACH HAS
A LEARNING DISABILITY, RIGHT?
IT SAYS HERE HE WAS EXAMINED
AT AGE THREE.
I KNOW THAT JILL ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS MISDIAGNOSED.
- HMM. I JUST THINK SHE HAD
A HARD TIME ACCEPTING IT.
- WHAT SHE WAS
MOST CONCERNED WITH
WAS THE CONSEQUENCES
OF ZACH BEING LABELED.
- WHAT KIND OF CONSEQUENCES?
- ANY NUMBER OF THINGS.
THE BOY MIGHT BE REQUIRED
TO ATTEND A SPECIAL SCHOOL,
TAKE CERTAIN MEDICATIONS.
IT COULD HAVE
FAR-REACHING EFFECTS,
ESPECIALLY IF HE WAS
MISDIAGNOSED.
- [sighs]
- [making airplane noises]
- SO WHAT-- WHAT HAPPENS
TO HIM NOW?
- HE'LL GO TO
HIS LEGAL GUARDIAN.
- OH, HIS ONLY LIVING RELATIVE
IS HIS AUNT ROSE IN FRESNO.
- ROSE ISN'T WHO JILL
HAD IN MIND.
- WHO ELSE IS THERE?
- ME?
NO, LISTEN.
I THINK THAT ROSE
WOULD BE BETTER.
SHE'S-- SHE'S GOT KIDS.
SHE LIVES IN THE COUNTRY.
I REALLY THINK ZACH
WOULD BE BETTER WITH ROSE.
[cell phone ringing]
I...
[beeps]
LISTEN, I-- I COULDN'T EVEN TAKE
CARE OF HIM FOR ONE WEEKEND.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?
- YOU LEARN.
PHILIP, YOU CAN DO THIS.
JILL WOULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN YOU
IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE FAITH IN YOU.
- THIS IS YOUR HOME, RIGHT?
- ROGER THAT.
[birds tweeting]
[wind chimes tinkling]
- HI, HERBERT.
[door closes]
- [making airplane noises]
[makes explosion sounds]
- YOU DOING ALL RIGHT IN HERE?
- WANT TO PLAY?
- WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DRAW
LIKE THIS?
- MOM TAUGHT ME,
JUST LIKE SHE TAUGHT YOU.
- WELL, THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO.
YOUR MOM'S A GOOD TEACHER,
ISN'T SHE?
- WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE ANYWAY?
- WELL, WE UM...
WE CAME TO GET YOUR STUFF.
- HOW COME?
[makes explosion noises]
- UM, ZACH, YOUR, UM...
YOUR MOM IS NOT COMING HOME...
TODAY.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
[makes airplane noises]
- YOU WERE PLAYING WITH CAESAR.
- WHAT DID SHE SAY?
- SHE SAID SHE'S STILL
IN SAN DIEGO,
AND SHE--SHE LOVES YOU.
- IS SHE COMING HOME TOMORROW?
- [sighs]
COME ON.
WE'VE GOT TO GET PACKED.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM?
- TELL ME WHAT?
- OH. JUST...
WHAT A GOOD TIME I'M HAVING
WITH YOU THIS WEEKEND.
- WE NEED THESE
FOR HAMBURGER NIGHT.
I'M HAVING A FUN WEEKEND, TOO.
[patting]
- PAST-DUE.
PAST-DUE.
[door squeaks]
[whispering]
FRIDAY-- PIZZA NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT IN HERE?
TENNIS BALLS?
- JUST IN CASE.
- [sighs]
ALL RIGHT. TIME TO GO.
- WE NEED TO TAKE MY DOG.
- NO, NO. I'M NOT PUTTING
THAT THING IN MY PLACE.
- IT'S HERBERT.
- I DON'T EVEN REALLY WANT IT
IN MY CAR.
LOOK, ZACH, IT WILL SCRATCH
THE INTERIOR, THE LEATHER.
ALL RIGHT? COME ON.
YOU'VE GOT YOUR TENNIS BALLS.
HEY. IT'S TAKE-OFF TIME.
[knocking]
I NEED A HUGE FAVOR.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
- OH.
- WHO'S THAT?
- OH, THAT'S MY SISTER'S KID,
ZACH.
- YOU HAVE A NEPHEW.
- YEAH.
UM, CAN WE GET INTO THAT
A LITTLE LATER?
I-- I REALLY NEED A BABYSITTER
RIGHT NOW.
- OKAY, LET ME GUESS.
YOU HAVE A BIG MEETING
THIS AFTERNOON?
- HOLLY, I REALLY NEED
YOUR HELP.
ZACH! ZACH! ZACH! NO.
PLEASE STOP DOING THAT.
LOOK, YOU'RE PUTTING MARKS
ALL OVER THE WALL.
- WELL, SORRY. I CAN'T HELP YOU.
I HAVE TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL
IN AN HOUR.
- JUST CALL IN SICK.
- UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE.
- WAIT.
- YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD BABY-SIT.
MAYBE IT WOULD GIVE YOU A LITTLE
SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
- MY SISTER JUST DIED.
- WHAT?
OH MY GOSH. WHAT HAPPENED?
- SHE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
- IS-- IS HE ALL RIGHT?
- I, UM...
I HAVEN'T TOLD HIM YET.
- WELL, WHERE'S HIS FATHER?
- OH, WHO KNOWS?
HE'S BEEN OUT OF THE PICTURE
FOR A LONG TIME.
- I WISH I COULD HELP YOU OUT.
I'M IN SURGERY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO DAYCARE?
[children chattering]
- AH, THIS IS GREAT.
LOOK-- LOOK AT-- LOOK AT
THAT GREAT SWING SET OVER THERE.
GO PLAY ON THE SWING SET
WHILE I TALK TO THIS NICE LADY.
EXCUSE ME! GO. GO AHEAD.
GO ON.
GO ON. JUST GO PLAY
WITH ALL THE NICE KIDS.
HEY, I'LL BE RIGHT HERE, ZACH.
YEAH, I NEED TO LEAVE
MY NEPHEW WITH YOU FOR THE DAY.
- OH, WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING
ANY MORE CHILDREN RIGHT NOW.
- HE'S AN ANGEL. YOU'LL NEVER
EVEN KNOW HE'S HERE.
- I'VE GOT 30 KIDS,
AND WE'RE SHORT-HANDED TODAY.
- EXCUSE ME, YOU'RE
A STATE-RUN DAYCARE CENTER.
I PAY MY TAXES. MY NEPHEW
NEEDS-- NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE.
- MAXWELL! MAXWELL!
LEAVE ERICA ALONE!
OKAY, SWEETHEART.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S REALLY CRAZY HERE TODAY.
DON'T EAT THE--
LAURIE, DO NOT EAT THE SAND.
LISTEN, JIMMY. GET DOWN.
[chattering]
- THANKS FOR NOT LEAVING ME
THERE.
- UM, YOU'RE WELCOME.
[chattering]
- MORNING.
LISTEN, I'M ONLY GOING TO BE
HERE FOR A FEW MINUTES, OKAY.
SO JUST-- YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU CAN JUST SPEND THE TIME
READING THROUGH
LAST MONTH'S MEDIA REPORTS,
ALL RIGHT?
[paper shuffling]
- [gasps]
[running footsteps]
- SOME PEOPLE FIND THESE
FASCINATING.
- WHOA! HEY!
- WHOA! WHOA! HEY!
- HEY! HEY! WATCH IT!
[electric whirring]
[slamming]
[crashing]
- OH!
all: [yelling]
- DOES THIS BELONG TO YOU?
- NO.
YES. TEMPORARILY.
- OH, HE'S INDEBTED TO ME
FOR A CUP OF CHAMOMILE TEA.
OH, SHUCKS.
LOOK AT THE PICTURE.
OH, DEAR!
OH, MY...
- ZACH, WHAT DID YOU DO?
- I CRASHED INTO THE OLD LADY
WITH THE BLUE HAIR.
- ZACH.
- THIS IS DISTINGUISHED SILVER,
YOUNG MAN.
- AND-- AND IT LOOKS
WONDERFUL ON YOU, MRS. HUFFRED.
UM, IT MATCHES YOUR EYES.
- ARE-- ARE YOU AWARE THAT
YOU'RE WEARING
A BROOKS BROTHERS SUIT
WHEN IT'S REALLY GUCCI MONDAY?
- KIDS, YOU KNOW. I DON'T
REALLY HAVE TIME FOR 'EM.
- SIT HERE.
DRAW.
[sighs]
- WHAT?
- UH, YEAH, DO YOU HAVE
A MINUTE, MS. HUFFRED?
- FOR AN APOLOGY, YES.
- NEW INTERN, PHILIP?
- HE'S MY NEPHEW, ZACH.
LISTEN, CAN YOU PLEASE WATCH HIM
WHILE I GO GET THESE COMPS
MOUNTED?
- THAT IS NOT
IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION.
- HELLO?
WHAT? HE'S AN ANGEL.
- OKAY, THANKS.
JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
[liquid sloshing]
[spraying]
[shutter clicking]
[clicking and beeping]
- WHAT YOU DRAWING, ZACH?
- [sighs]
- AW, LOOK AT THAT.
THAT IS A COOL AIRPLANE.
PROBABLY NEEDS A LITTLE RED
FOR THE TAIL LIGHT,
DON'T YOU THINK?
OH, NO, NO.
NOT THOSE.
USE THE GOOD ONES OVER THERE.
UNCLE PHILIP LOVES TO SHARE.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLORS.
FANTASTIC. CHOOSE.
WHAT IS THIS?
A FLYING TACO?
- TACOS CAN'T FLY.
- [laughs]
YES, THEY CAN, ZACH.
ALL IT NEEDS IS
REALLY BIG WINGS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HAVE A SEAT, YEAH.
AND DON'T FORGET THE BLUE.
ALL TACOS NEED A LITTLE BLUE.
THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S GOOD.
PHILIP.
- AND WHEN THE FUSELAGE OPENS,
OUT COMES THE GUACAMOLE!
- GUACAMOLE.
SEE YOU LATER, ZACH.
- SEE YA!
- I'M SORRY THAT THE DRAWING
WAS RUINED.
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU
TOMORROW MORNING.
[drink sloshing]
- OH, PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
DRIVING THE KID AROUND
THE REST OF THE DAY.
- I, UM, I HAVE A BABYSITTER
LINED UP FOR WEDNESDAY.
I WILL BE AT THE FOCUS GROUP.
- SECURING A BABYSITTER'S
HARDLY CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION.
LOU CAN HANDLE THE PITCH
IF YOU'VE GOT OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
- NO. NO. I CAN DO IT.
- IT'S JUST BAD TIMING
WITH YOUR SISTER AND ALL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD SIT TIGHT
AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT ACCOUNT
TO COME OUR WAY.
- NO, I WANT THIS
MORE THAN ANYTHING.
- LOOK, PHILIP,
THE FOCUS GROUP'S IN TWO DAYS.
GO TO THE FUNERAL TOMORROW.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT US.
TAKE THE TIME TO MOURN HER LOSS.
YOU'RE THE MOST TALENTED
ART DIRECTOR
I'VE WORKED WITH IN YEARS.
YOU SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY
THAN THE REST OF US.
I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY.
ALL I KNOW IS YOU HAVE A GIFT.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE IT
GO TO WASTE.
YOU'RE SO CLOSE.
- I WON'T LET YOU DOWN.
- DON'T LET YOURSELF DOWN.
- [sighs]
[airplanes flying]
- LOOK AT THAT ONE!
IT'S A BOEING 767!
- ZACH. ZACH.
UM, I BROUGHT YOU HERE...
BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING
I NEED TO TELL YOU,
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT,
SOMETHING I PROBABLY
SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SOONER.
IT'S ABOUT YOUR MOM.
- MOM'S COMING HOME!
SHE'S ON AN AIRPLANE!
- NO.
[breathing heavily]
[sniffs]
SHE'S NOT ON AN AIRPLANE.
ZACH...
YOUR MOM...
YOU MOM IS IN HEAVEN.
- LOOK AT THAT ONE!
- ZACH, LOOK AT ME.
YOU NEED TO LOOK AT ME.
NOW, I KNOW THAT THIS IS
VERY HARD.
BUT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT,
ZACH.
YOUR MOM IS GONE.
SHE DIED, ZACH.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING?
- LOOK! IT'S MY MOM'S PLANE!
- ZACH!
- MOM!
- ZACH! NO!
- MOM!
- ZACH! ZACH!
- [groaning]
- NO! NO!
- THAT WAS A BIG ONE!
- NO!
- IT'S MY MOM'S PLANE!
MOM! IT'S ME!
[crying]
I'M OVER HERE!
[whimpering]
MOM, IT'S ME!
[sniffs]
MOM!
MOM!
- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE FINE.
IT'S OKAY.
[sighs]
- THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD.
I SHALL NOT WANDER.
HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN
IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE
THE STILLED WATERS.
- [crying]
- HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.
HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATH
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR HIS NAMESAKE.
YEA, THOUGH I WALK...
- WHERE IS MOM?
- DON'T YOU REMEMBER
WHAT I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY?
- IS SHE AT HOME?
- NO.
NO, SHE'S IN HEAVEN NOW.
- DID GRAVITY TAKE HER?
- [sighs]
- SURELY, GOODNESS AND MERCY
SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
AND I WILL DWELL
IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD...
- NO, THE ANGELS TOOK HER.
- BUT SHE NEVER
HUGGED ME GOODBYE.
MY MOM ALWAYS HUGS ME GOODBYE.
[sniffs]
- I'M SO SORRY, ZACH.
- ...AND HELP US WHO REMAIN
TO COMFORT ONE ANOTHER
WITH ASSURANCES OF FAITH
UNTIL WE ALL MEET IN CHRIST
AND ARE WITH YOU
AND WITH OUR SISTER JILL
FOREVER.
AMEN.
all: AMEN.
- MOM'S NOT COMING BACK,
IS SHE?
- [whispers]
NO.
- PHILIP?
- WHAT IS IT, BUDDY?
- I'M SAD.
[sniffing]
- ME TOO, LITTLE GUY. ME, TOO.
[car doors closing]
[engines starting]
- SHE SOUNDED LIKE
A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
- YEAH, SHE LIVED HER LIFE
FOR LITTLE ZACH.
- EXCUSE ME.
- OH, I'M SORRY.
- OH, HONEY. OH.
IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE.
- THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
THIS IS MY COUSIN ROSE.
- OH, HOW ARE YOU?
- LISTEN, HONEY.
I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE BOYS.
BUT WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM
FOR ZACHARY.
I THINK IT'S
A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR HIM.
- OKAY. WE'LL TALK.
- NOW, YOU CALL ME.
YOU PROMISE?
- YEAH.
- OKAY.
- BYE.
- TAKE CARE.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- I'M WORRIED ABOUT ZACH.
I DON'T THINK HE REALLY
UNDERSTANDS
WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENED.
- WELL, JUST GIVE HIM SOME TIME.
HE'S A KID.
- THANKS.
- THAT WAS SWEET.
- [laughs]
- [sighs]
[dog panting]
[sighs]
[dog panting]
[clicks]
[traffic sounds]
[yawning]
- OKAY.
HA!
GOOD JOB.
- YOU, TOO.
- OKAY, WE'VE GOT TIME
FOR A QUICK LUNCH,
AND THEN I NEED TO GET TO WORK.
- OKAY. GOOD BOY.
- HERE YOU GO.
- WHAT?
- MOM SAYS IT'S NOT POLITE
TO START
BEFORE EVERYONE IS READY.
- OH, SORRY.
- AND NO ELBOWS ON THE TABLE.
- YEAH.
[knocking]
[unlocking]
[door closes]
- FINALLY.
- I'M REALLY SORRY, BUT I CAN'T
BABY-SIT YOUR NEPHEW TODAY.
- WHAT?
WHY NOT?
- THE APPLEBYS, THEY WENT
TO PALM SPRINGS AN HOUR AGO,
AND I SAID I'D WATCH
THEIR DOGS UNTIL THEY GOT BACK.
BETTY GETS SEPARATION ANXIETY
WHEN SHE'S AWAY FROM PEOPLE
FOR TOO LONG.
- NO, NO.
YOU-- YOU CAN'T DO THIS.
WE HAD-- WE HAD AN AGREEMENT.
- THE APPLEBYS
ARE MY BEST CLIENTS,
AND MY DAD--
MY FINANCIAL CONSULTANT
ADVISED ME
TO PUT THE NEEDS OF
MY BEST CLIENTS FIRST.
- WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST
TAKE ZACH WITH YOU
TO THE APPLEBYS?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?
YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK THAT
THIS PROVIDES
A PERFECT CROSS-SELLING
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.
BESIDES, YOU WOULD BE DOING ME
A HUGE FAVOR.
- OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.
[chattering]
- EXCUSE ME.
THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOU.

IN THAT HANDSHAKE, PARTNER.
WE CAN'T HAVE YOU PRANCING
AROUND WITH A SQUEEZE LIKE THAT.
LOOKS LIKE THE SHOW'S
ABOUT TO BEGIN.
- GLAD TO SEE YOU GOT EVERYTHING
UNDER CONTROL, PHILIP.
- DON'T WORRY. CAESAR'S USED TO
BEING ALONE ALL DAY.
BESIDES, BETTY AND EUGENE
GET TOO EXCITED
WHEN THEY HAVE DOG VISITORS.
[dog whimpering]
I DO NOT WANT THEM
TO BREAK ANYTHING.

[muted chatter]
- OKAY THEN!
MA'AM, HOW DID YOU LIKE
THE FOOD?
- THE SALSA?
- MM-HMM.
- IT WAS GOOD.
- OKAY, GREAT. WHAT ELSE?
- A LITTLE TOO SPICY
MAYBE.
I'D USE LESS JALAPENO PEPPERS.
- THOSE ARE HABANERO PEPPERS,
AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP.
- LET'S HEAR 'EM OUT.
- ANYONE?
- [slurping]
WELL, THE CUPS ARE TOO SMALL.
- HEY, PASS ME THAT.
- I GET THIRSTY WHEN I EAT.
- OKAY. CUPS TOO SMALL.
SALSA A BIT TOO SPICY.
HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE
COWBOY BOB'S TACOS

SOMEBODY ELSE'S DIME.

I CAN'T DO THIS, OKAY.
I AM NOT EQUIPPED

- PHILIP, ACCIDENTS HAPPEN,
OKAY?
HE'S JUST A KID.
[dog growling]
MY COUSIN ROSE THINKS THAT
I SHOULD ENROLL HIM
IN A SCHOOL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENTALLY-CHALLENGED.
- YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU COULD
GET HIM RE-TESTED.
AT LEAST THEN YOU'LL KNOW
WHAT SPECIFIC ISSUES
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH.
- [groans]
SHE THINKS HE'D BE BETTER OFF
WITH HER IN FRESNO.
- FRESNO?
- YEAH.
THERE'S SOME KIND OF
A SPECIAL SCHOOL
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
- HE DOESN'T HAVE TO
GO LIVE IN FRESNO.
THERE ARE TRAINED EXPERTS
RIGHT HERE
WHO CAN HELP YOU
TAKE CARE OF HIM.

Congratulations.
You've demonstrated
your desire to succeed
by making it to disc five
in my series,
"making it big
the dockery way."
Let's get started.
Success in business
relies on strict adherence
to a simple maxim:
never sell anyone
what they need,
sell them what they want.
Sales begin with the self.
Sell yourself first
to each client,
that client will buy
whatever product you have.
Your product: would you buy it?
Your service: would you use it?
If the answer is no,
then your clients
will feel the same way.
Don't quit.
U.s. Grant was a drunken failure
at every turn
until the civil war.
Then he became president.
Abraham lincoln went broke
five times.
In the words of
winston spencer churchill:
"never give up. Never, never,
never give up."
Self-doubt is self-defeat.
Prospective buyers will be
drawn to your self-confidence.
If they sense doubt in you,
they will look elsewhere.
- CAESAR. I FORGIVE YOU.
- ...read that best-seller
you heard about.
[can clinking]
- no one is even discussing it.
Well-rounded and personable
trumps narrow and boring
every time.
Do you like money?
Who doesn't.
[clicks off]
- GOOD.
GOOD. BE A GOOD DOG, CAESAR.
[patting]
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE A GOOD DOG.
STAY.
[door closes]
[dog whimpers]
[dings]
- AH...
DYNAMITE SUIT, PHILIP.
- YOU LIKE? IT'S
AN OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED DKNY.
- ACTUALLY, IT'S ARMANI.
- DO YOU THINK WE COULD SKIP
TO THE PART WHERE WE ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THE FOUR MONTHS WE DATED
WERE JUST A BIG WASTE OF TIME?
- NO.
[clicks]
I HATE THAT PART.
- SO YOU WANT TO GRAB A PIZZA
TONIGHT?
I COULD MAYBE PICK UP A MOVIE?
- I-- I WOULD LOVE TO,
BUT I REALLY DO HAVE TO
WORK LATE.
- WHAT? IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT.
- WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DO WORK TOO HARD.
OH, AND BY THE WAY,
IT WAS MORE LIKE
FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS.
[traffic sounds]
- RENEE, I GOT IT.
[chattering]
- [sighs]
[sighs]
- WOW, PHILIP.
THOSE ARE SUPER.
- DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING?
- YOU KNOW, I'D SAY
THAT YOU COULD DO THOSE
FASTER ON A COMPUTER,
BUT WHAT THE HECK DO I KNOW?
I MEAN, YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO LEFT EARLY LAST NIGHT.
- I WAS HERE UNTIL 10:00,
AND THEN I WENT HOME
AND I WORKED UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
- MIDNIGHT. MIDNIGHT,
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
THAT'S ABOUT WHEN J.D.
STROLLED INTO MY OFFICE.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE WERE
KICKING AROUND IDEAS.
NOW, HE'S ALL FIRED UP.
- WHAT DID HE SAY?
- OH...OH, DEAR.
[laughs]
- HEY, DID-- DID HE ALREADY
DECIDE TO PRESENT YOUR IDEA?
AM I WASTING MY TIME HERE?
- [laughing]
J.D.
[laughing]
- [sighs]
J.D., HERE'S A CONCEPT
THAT I CAME UP WITH LAST NIGHT
AFTER I LEFT WORK,
WHICH WAS AROUND 10:00.
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY,
YOU KNOW WHAT,
IT WAS MORE LIKE 10:30.
- PHILIP, HAVE A SEAT.
- SURE.
[clears throat]
- GENTLEMEN, THE BIG PITCH
IS UPON US.
YOUR FIRST MEETING
WITH COWBOY BOB
WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT WEDNESDAY
AT THE FOCUS GROUP.
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE LESS THAN
ONE WEEK.
IF WE LAND COWBOY BOB'S TACOS,
I'M GOING TO NEED SOMEONE
TO MAKE DECISIONS
ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS,
TAKE THE RESTAURANT WORLDWIDE.
IF IT WERE UP TO ME,
YOU'D BOTH BE PROMOTED
TO CREATIVE DIRECTOR.
BUT THERE'S ONLY ROOM
FOR ONE OF YOU UP TOP.
MANY OF YOUR CO-WORKERS' JOBS
ARE DEPENDING ON THIS ACCOUNT.
LOU, YOU'LL PITCH YOUR IDEAS
NEXT FRIDAY.
AND, PHILIP, YOU'LL HAVE
YOUR SHOT THE FOLLOWING MONDAY.
GOOD LUCK, GENTLEMEN,
MAKE ME PROUD.
- A MAN IN A COWBOY HAT
WHO SMELLS LIKE CHICKEN
IS HERE TO SEE YOU, SIR.
- THANK YOU, MS. HUFFRED.
IT'S THE CLIENT.
OFFER HIM SOME COFFEE,
SHOW HIM INTO
THE MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[traffic whooshing]
[knocking]
[sighs]
- PHILIP. AH! I KNEW YOU'D
BE HOME ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.
ALWAYS WORKING,
ALWAYS A GO-GETTER.
- [laughs nervously]
- I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
OTHERWISE, I'D HAVE TO BRING
ZACH, AND HE HATES CROWDS.
- W--WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- I JUST GOT A CALL FROM
THE SAN DIEGO INSTITUTE OF ART.
THEY WANT TO SHOW MY WORK.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!
AND I HAVE A BIG, BIG, BIG FAVOR
I NEED REPAID.
- NO, NO, NO FAVORS.
I'M REALLY VERY BUSY RIGHT--
- THE CORNERS OF THIS TABLE
ARE AS SHARP AS NAILS.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE HERE
FOR FOOD?
- AN OLD WHEEL OF BRIE?
- I'D KEEP AN EYE OUT
FOR ANYTHING BREAKABLE
NEAR THE FRONT DOOR.
- WHY?
[glass shatters]
HI, ZACH.
- DON'T WORRY, HONEY.
THE GRAVITY IS VERY GOOD
IN HERE-- I CHECKED.
- GRAVITY?
- IT'S ONLY FOR THE WEEKEND.
AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO
HAVE A GREAT TIME TOGETHER.
- WHAT? NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO. NOT OKAY.
NO. NO. I'VE GOT A BIG
PRESENTATION I'M PREPARING FOR.
- OH, COME ON, LITTLE BROTHER.
YOU AND ZACH ARE TWO PEAS
IN A POD.
HOW MANY FAVORS HAVE I DONE
FOR YOU?
- ONE? OR TWO, A COUPLE.
- TRUST ME.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING.
NOW...
[dog growls]
I'M GOING TO CALL YOU TOMORROW.
- NO, WHY ME?
- YOU'RE HIS UNCLE!
IT'S ABOUT TIME THE TWO OF YOU
SPENT SOME TIME TOGETHER.
- [sighs] NO, I CAN'T
TAKE CARE OF A KID LIKE ZACH.
I MEAN, HE'S-- HE'S, YOU KNOW.
- HE'S EIGHT.
YOU WERE EIGHT ONCE TOO,
REMEMBER?
DON'T YOU THINK I FEEL BAD
ABOUT LEAVING HIM HERE?
- [laughs]
- YOU'LL BE FINE.
NOW, YOU TWO HAVE
A GOOD TIME TOGETHER.
OKAY, I LOVE YOU BOTH.
YOU'LL BE FINE, TOO.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
- JILL--
- HE'S HUNGRY. BYE!
- WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR DINNER?
I'LL HAVE THE SALMON WELL-DONE,
NOT TOO CRISPY.
THREE LEMON WEDGES ON THE SIDE
AND SAUCE ON THE SIDE.
- AND FOR YOU?
- UH, CHEESEBURGER AND
FRENCH FRIES FOR THE LITTLE GUY.
THANK YOU.
COME ON. WHAT KID DOESN'T
LOVE FRENCH FRIES?
[chattering]
HEY, HOW ABOUT AN APPLE?
ZACH? AN NICE MANG--MANGO.
CANTALOUPE?
POWER BAR? CLIF BAR?
MET-RX BAR?
NO.
PIZZA CRUST. NO.
NO. NO, IT'S LATE.
LISTEN, BY THE TIME
I GET YOU HOME
AND COOK THIS THING
AND GET THE CHEESE TO MELT,
IT'S GOING TO BE BREAKFAST TIME,
AND...
ZACH...ZACH.
PLEASE!
IT HAS TO BE PIZZA.
ALL RIGHT.
[sighs]
WE'RE HERE, ZACH.
WE MADE IT SAFE AND SOUND.
ZACH?
HEY. COME ON.
COME ON, BUDDY.
[sighs]
OKAY.
[groans]
THERE YOU GO.
[sighs]
COME HERE.
LAY ON DOWN.
CAESAR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YOU THINK WE CAN MAKE IT
THROUGH THE WEEKEND?
[laughs]
[dog whimpering]
[traffic sounds]
[alarm beeping]
- THE CEO OF A MAJOR CORPORATION
TOLD ME ONCE
THAT HE NEVER INTENDED
TO DO BUSINESS WITH ME
AND WENT SO FAR AS
TO TELL HIS ASSISTANT
TO NEVER PUT MY CALLS THROUGH.
I PHONED TWICE A WEEK
FOR SIX MONTHS.
ONE DAY HE RELENTED
AND GAVE ME THREE MINUTES.
- [groans]
- IN LESS THAN TWO,
I HAD A MEETING...
[shuts off]
- NOW, I KNOW THIS
IS HARD FOR YOU,
BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO WATCH.
DON'T TOUCH THIS, NOW.
[dog whimpering]
OKAY, THE GRAVITY IS GOOD
IN HERE.
BUT WE HAVE TO CHECK EVERY DAY.
OTHERWISE, WE'LL FALL OFF
THE EARTH AND INTO THE SKY
AND FLOAT AWAY
WITH THE AIRPLANES
INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER.
[laughs] AND WHO WILL
TAKE CARE OF US THEN?
- GOOD MORNING.
WHAT ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR?
DON'T SAY PIZZA.
- CEREAL.
- WELL, THAT I CAN MAKE.
YOU WANT TO HELP?
HEY, ZACH, LISTEN--
I HAVE GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO DO TODAY, ALL RIGHT?
SO I REALLY NEED YOU
TO COOPERATE.
- I CAN'T EAT UNTIL ALL
MY TENNIS BALLS ARE IN PLACE.
- [sighs]
[knocking]
COME IN!
- IS CAESAR READY FOR HIS WALK?
[kissing sounds]
OH! YES, HE IS.
- THAT'S BERNADETTE.
SHE'S A DOG WALKER.
[barking]
- WHO'S THAT CUTE LITTLE BOY?
- THAT'S MY NEPHEW ZACH.
- PHILIP!
THAT'S SO SWEET.
I HAD NO IDEA.
- YEAH, LISTEN...
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD
WATCH HIM FOR ME TODAY?
I'LL PAY YOU.
- I CAN WATCH HIM UNTIL 1:00.
- THAT'S GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- NOW, LET'S SEE.
HOW AM I GOING TO WATCH YOU
AND WALK MY CLIENTS
AT THE SAME TIME?
[dog whimpers]
[barking]
OH GOOD, ZACH!
YOU'RE GOOD WITH DOGS!
WAIT! COME ON!
THERE YOU GO.
[cat meowing]
STAY! PLEASE!
[cat meowing angrily]
- HEY, GET HIM!
COME ON, GUYS! COME ON!
- OKAY.
[dogs barking]
HEY, GET HIM!
[distant dogs barking]
BYE!
- [groans]
- CATS CAN CLIMB TREES!
- WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I THOUGHT THAT BERNADETTE
WAS WATCHING YOU UNTIL 1:00?
- THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!
- I CAN'T WATCH YOU RIGHT NOW.
I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
- MOM SAID YOU'D TAKE ME
TO THE AIRPORT
TO WATCH THE PLANES TODAY.
- AIRPORT, NO.
I CANNOT TAKE YOU TO THE--
- WHERE'S MY MOM?
- SHE'S AT HER ART SHOW,
AND SHE'S GOING TO BE BACK ON--
- I'M BORED.
- JEEZ. YESTERDAY I COULDN'T
GET YOU TO SAY A WORD.
NOW, I CAN'T GET YOU
TO SHUT YOUR--
- MOM SAYS MY MOUTH RUNS
A MILE A MINUTE.
- YOUR MOUTH, HUH?
[sighs]
♪
- MORE TAFFY!
TAFFY! TAFFY! TAFFY!
[laughs]
MMM.
MMM!
- MMM.
- [laughs]
- IT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS.
[dog whimpers]
- HI, CAESAR.
[beeps]
- YOU HAVE ONE UNHEARD MESSAGE
SENT TODAY AT 1:02 PM.
FIRST UNHEARD MESSAGE.
- HEY, ZACH, PHILLY-DILLY.
HELLO FROM SUNNY SAN DIEGO.
THE SHOW IS AMAZING!
JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY STOPPED BY
TO SEE MY ART.
I'VE EVEN HAD A FEW OFFERS.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.
I'LL BE HOME TOMORROW, ZACH.
I LOVE YOU.
BE GOOD TO YOUR UNCLE PHILIP,
AND LET HIM GET SOME WORK DONE.
I TOLD YOU HOW HE GETS
SOMETIMES.
OKAY. BYE!
[beeps]
- END OF MESSAGES.
[keys jingling]
- [laughs]
NOW, YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF
WHENEVER YOU WANT.
[dog groans]
[cars honking]
[knocking]
- [sighs]
WHAT NOW?
- [gasps]
HENRY! LET'S PLAY!
- [laughs]
[dog growls]
- COOL!
- ROY, ROY.
YOU REMEMBER WE MET ABOUT
A YEAR AGO AT ZACH'S PARTY.
- YEAH, ROY. I REMEMBER YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
- GOOD.
- YEAH.
AH, DID JILL SEND YOU
TO CHECK UP ON ME?
- [laughs]
NO.
- WELL, YOU--
YOU WANT TO COME IN?
- NO, NO. ACTUALLY...
YOU MIND IF WE TALK OUT
IN THE HALLWAY JUST FOR MINUTE?
- SURE.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
WHAT...WHAT'S GOING ON?
- UH, PHILIP, THERE'S BEEN
AN ACCIDENT.
IT'S JILL.
SHE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
- UH, WHEN?
- WELL, IT HAPPENED
THIS AFTERNOON IN SAN DIEGO.
- OKAY. IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
- SHE...SHE DIED, PHILIP.
- UH...WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.
I-- I-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
- I'M SORRY, MAN. I JUST WANTED
TO TELL YOU IN PERSON.
THE POLICE,
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ZACH.
AND SINCE I RAN
THE DAYCARE CENTER,
THEY-- THEY CALLED ME.
[dog barking]
- I LOVE YOUR MODEL PLANE!
- COOL, MAN!
- WHAT AM I-- WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO TELL ZACH?
- I'M SORRY.
- [makes plane noises]
[distant sirens]
[traffic sounds]
- WEE!
[laughs]
[makes rocket sounds]
WEE!
- WELL, I HOPE
I'M NOT RUINING YOUR WEEKEND.
- NOT AT ALL.
I FEEL HORRIBLE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
- IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
- HOW'S ZACH?
- UM, HE DOESN'T KNOW YET.
- YOU'RE AWARE THAT ZACH HAS
A LEARNING DISABILITY, RIGHT?
IT SAYS HERE HE WAS EXAMINED
AT AGE THREE.
I KNOW THAT JILL ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS MISDIAGNOSED.
- HMM. I JUST THINK SHE HAD
A HARD TIME ACCEPTING IT.
- WHAT SHE WAS
MOST CONCERNED WITH
WAS THE CONSEQUENCES
OF ZACH BEING LABELED.
- WHAT KIND OF CONSEQUENCES?
- ANY NUMBER OF THINGS.
THE BOY MIGHT BE REQUIRED
TO ATTEND A SPECIAL SCHOOL,
TAKE CERTAIN MEDICATIONS.
IT COULD HAVE
FAR-REACHING EFFECTS,
ESPECIALLY IF HE WAS
MISDIAGNOSED.
- [sighs]
- [making airplane noises]
- SO WHAT-- WHAT HAPPENS
TO HIM NOW?
- HE'LL GO TO
HIS LEGAL GUARDIAN.
- OH, HIS ONLY LIVING RELATIVE
IS HIS AUNT ROSE IN FRESNO.
- ROSE ISN'T WHO JILL
HAD IN MIND.
- WHO ELSE IS THERE?
- ME?
NO, LISTEN.
I THINK THAT ROSE
WOULD BE BETTER.
SHE'S-- SHE'S GOT KIDS.
SHE LIVES IN THE COUNTRY.
I REALLY THINK ZACH
WOULD BE BETTER WITH ROSE.
[cell phone ringing]
I...
[beeps]
LISTEN, I-- I COULDN'T EVEN TAKE
CARE OF HIM FOR ONE WEEKEND.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?
- YOU LEARN.
PHILIP, YOU CAN DO THIS.
JILL WOULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN YOU
IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE FAITH IN YOU.
- THIS IS YOUR HOME, RIGHT?
- ROGER THAT.
[birds tweeting]
[wind chimes tinkling]
- HI, HERBERT.
[door closes]
- [making airplane noises]
[makes explosion sounds]
- YOU DOING ALL RIGHT IN HERE?
- WANT TO PLAY?
- WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DRAW
LIKE THIS?
- MOM TAUGHT ME,
JUST LIKE SHE TAUGHT YOU.
- WELL, THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO.
YOUR MOM'S A GOOD TEACHER,
ISN'T SHE?
- WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE ANYWAY?
- WELL, WE UM...
WE CAME TO GET YOUR STUFF.
- HOW COME?
[makes explosion noises]
- UM, ZACH, YOUR, UM...
YOUR MOM IS NOT COMING HOME...
TODAY.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
[makes airplane noises]
- YOU WERE PLAYING WITH CAESAR.
- WHAT DID SHE SAY?
- SHE SAID SHE'S STILL
IN SAN DIEGO,
AND SHE--SHE LOVES YOU.
- IS SHE COMING HOME TOMORROW?
- [sighs]
COME ON.
WE'VE GOT TO GET PACKED.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM?
- TELL ME WHAT?
- OH. JUST...
WHAT A GOOD TIME I'M HAVING
WITH YOU THIS WEEKEND.
- WE NEED THESE
FOR HAMBURGER NIGHT.
I'M HAVING A FUN WEEKEND, TOO.
[patting]
- PAST-DUE.
PAST-DUE.
[door squeaks]
[whispering]
FRIDAY-- PIZZA NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT IN HERE?
TENNIS BALLS?
- JUST IN CASE.
- [sighs]
ALL RIGHT. TIME TO GO.
- WE NEED TO TAKE MY DOG.
- NO, NO. I'M NOT PUTTING
THAT THING IN MY PLACE.
- IT'S HERBERT.
- I DON'T EVEN REALLY WANT IT
IN MY CAR.
LOOK, ZACH, IT WILL SCRATCH
THE INTERIOR, THE LEATHER.
ALL RIGHT? COME ON.
YOU'VE GOT YOUR TENNIS BALLS.
HEY. IT'S TAKE-OFF TIME.
[knocking]
I NEED A HUGE FAVOR.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
- OH.
- WHO'S THAT?
- OH, THAT'S MY SISTER'S KID,
ZACH.
- YOU HAVE A NEPHEW.
- YEAH.
UM, CAN WE GET INTO THAT
A LITTLE LATER?
I-- I REALLY NEED A BABYSITTER
RIGHT NOW.
- OKAY, LET ME GUESS.
YOU HAVE A BIG MEETING
THIS AFTERNOON?
- HOLLY, I REALLY NEED
YOUR HELP.
ZACH! ZACH! ZACH! NO.
PLEASE STOP DOING THAT.
LOOK, YOU'RE PUTTING MARKS
ALL OVER THE WALL.
- WELL, SORRY. I CAN'T HELP YOU.
I HAVE TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL
IN AN HOUR.
- JUST CALL IN SICK.
- UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE.
- WAIT.
- YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD BABY-SIT.
MAYBE IT WOULD GIVE YOU A LITTLE
SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
- MY SISTER JUST DIED.
- WHAT?
OH MY GOSH. WHAT HAPPENED?
- SHE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
- IS-- IS HE ALL RIGHT?
- I, UM...
I HAVEN'T TOLD HIM YET.
- WELL, WHERE'S HIS FATHER?
- OH, WHO KNOWS?
HE'S BEEN OUT OF THE PICTURE
FOR A LONG TIME.
- I WISH I COULD HELP YOU OUT.
I'M IN SURGERY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO DAYCARE?
[children chattering]
- AH, THIS IS GREAT.
LOOK-- LOOK AT-- LOOK AT
THAT GREAT SWING SET OVER THERE.
GO PLAY ON THE SWING SET
WHILE I TALK TO THIS NICE LADY.
EXCUSE ME! GO. GO AHEAD.
GO ON.
GO ON. JUST GO PLAY
WITH ALL THE NICE KIDS.
HEY, I'LL BE RIGHT HERE, ZACH.
YEAH, I NEED TO LEAVE
MY NEPHEW WITH YOU FOR THE DAY.
- OH, WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING
ANY MORE CHILDREN RIGHT NOW.
- HE'S AN ANGEL. YOU'LL NEVER
EVEN KNOW HE'S HERE.
- I'VE GOT 30 KIDS,
AND WE'RE SHORT-HANDED TODAY.
- EXCUSE ME, YOU'RE
A STATE-RUN DAYCARE CENTER.
I PAY MY TAXES. MY NEPHEW
NEEDS-- NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE.
- MAXWELL! MAXWELL!
LEAVE ERICA ALONE!
OKAY, SWEETHEART.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S REALLY CRAZY HERE TODAY.
DON'T EAT THE--
LAURIE, DO NOT EAT THE SAND.
LISTEN, JIMMY. GET DOWN.
[chattering]
- THANKS FOR NOT LEAVING ME
THERE.
- UM, YOU'RE WELCOME.
[chattering]
- MORNING.
LISTEN, I'M ONLY GOING TO BE
HERE FOR A FEW MINUTES, OKAY.
SO JUST-- YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU CAN JUST SPEND THE TIME
READING THROUGH
LAST MONTH'S MEDIA REPORTS,
ALL RIGHT?
[paper shuffling]
- [gasps]
[running footsteps]
- SOME PEOPLE FIND THESE
FASCINATING.
- WHOA! HEY!
- WHOA! WHOA! HEY!
- HEY! HEY! WATCH IT!
[electric whirring]
[slamming]
[crashing]
- OH!
all: [yelling]
- DOES THIS BELONG TO YOU?
- NO.
YES. TEMPORARILY.
- OH, HE'S INDEBTED TO ME
FOR A CUP OF CHAMOMILE TEA.
OH, SHUCKS.
LOOK AT THE PICTURE.
OH, DEAR!
OH, MY...
- ZACH, WHAT DID YOU DO?
- I CRASHED INTO THE OLD LADY
WITH THE BLUE HAIR.
- ZACH.
- THIS IS DISTINGUISHED SILVER,
YOUNG MAN.
- AND-- AND IT LOOKS
WONDERFUL ON YOU, MRS. HUFFRED.
UM, IT MATCHES YOUR EYES.
- ARE-- ARE YOU AWARE THAT
YOU'RE WEARING
A BROOKS BROTHERS SUIT
WHEN IT'S REALLY GUCCI MONDAY?
- KIDS, YOU KNOW. I DON'T
REALLY HAVE TIME FOR 'EM.
- SIT HERE.
DRAW.
[sighs]
- WHAT?
- UH, YEAH, DO YOU HAVE
A MINUTE, MS. HUFFRED?
- FOR AN APOLOGY, YES.
- NEW INTERN, PHILIP?
- HE'S MY NEPHEW, ZACH.
LISTEN, CAN YOU PLEASE WATCH HIM
WHILE I GO GET THESE COMPS
MOUNTED?
- THAT IS NOT
IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION.
- HELLO?
WHAT? HE'S AN ANGEL.
- OKAY, THANKS.
JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
[liquid sloshing]
[spraying]
[shutter clicking]
[clicking and beeping]
- WHAT YOU DRAWING, ZACH?
- [sighs]
- AW, LOOK AT THAT.
THAT IS A COOL AIRPLANE.
PROBABLY NEEDS A LITTLE RED
FOR THE TAIL LIGHT,
DON'T YOU THINK?
OH, NO, NO.
NOT THOSE.
USE THE GOOD ONES OVER THERE.
UNCLE PHILIP LOVES TO SHARE.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLORS.
FANTASTIC. CHOOSE.
WHAT IS THIS?
A FLYING TACO?
- TACOS CAN'T FLY.
- [laughs]
YES, THEY CAN, ZACH.
ALL IT NEEDS IS
REALLY BIG WINGS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HAVE A SEAT, YEAH.
AND DON'T FORGET THE BLUE.
ALL TACOS NEED A LITTLE BLUE.
THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S GOOD.
PHILIP.
- AND WHEN THE FUSELAGE OPENS,
OUT COMES THE GUACAMOLE!
- GUACAMOLE.
SEE YOU LATER, ZACH.
- SEE YA!
- I'M SORRY THAT THE DRAWING
WAS RUINED.
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU
TOMORROW MORNING.
[drink sloshing]
- OH, PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
DRIVING THE KID AROUND
THE REST OF THE DAY.
- I, UM, I HAVE A BABYSITTER
LINED UP FOR WEDNESDAY.
I WILL BE AT THE FOCUS GROUP.
- SECURING A BABYSITTER'S
HARDLY CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION.
LOU CAN HANDLE THE PITCH
IF YOU'VE GOT OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
- NO. NO. I CAN DO IT.
- IT'S JUST BAD TIMING
WITH YOUR SISTER AND ALL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD SIT TIGHT
AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT ACCOUNT
TO COME OUR WAY.
- NO, I WANT THIS
MORE THAN ANYTHING.
- LOOK, PHILIP,
THE FOCUS GROUP'S IN TWO DAYS.
GO TO THE FUNERAL TOMORROW.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT US.
TAKE THE TIME TO MOURN HER LOSS.
YOU'RE THE MOST TALENTED
ART DIRECTOR
I'VE WORKED WITH IN YEARS.
YOU SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY
THAN THE REST OF US.
I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY.
ALL I KNOW IS YOU HAVE A GIFT.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE IT
GO TO WASTE.
YOU'RE SO CLOSE.
- I WON'T LET YOU DOWN.
- DON'T LET YOURSELF DOWN.
- [sighs]
[airplanes flying]
- LOOK AT THAT ONE!
IT'S A BOEING 767!
- ZACH. ZACH.
UM, I BROUGHT YOU HERE...
BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING
I NEED TO TELL YOU,
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT,
SOMETHING I PROBABLY
SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SOONER.
IT'S ABOUT YOUR MOM.
- MOM'S COMING HOME!
SHE'S ON AN AIRPLANE!
- NO.
[breathing heavily]
[sniffs]
SHE'S NOT ON AN AIRPLANE.
ZACH...
YOUR MOM...
YOU MOM IS IN HEAVEN.
- LOOK AT THAT ONE!
- ZACH, LOOK AT ME.
YOU NEED TO LOOK AT ME.
NOW, I KNOW THAT THIS IS
VERY HARD.
BUT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT,
ZACH.
YOUR MOM IS GONE.
SHE DIED, ZACH.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING?
- LOOK! IT'S MY MOM'S PLANE!
- ZACH!
- MOM!
- ZACH! NO!
- MOM!
- ZACH! ZACH!
- [groaning]
- NO! NO!
- THAT WAS A BIG ONE!
- NO!
- IT'S MY MOM'S PLANE!
MOM! IT'S ME!
[crying]
I'M OVER HERE!
[whimpering]
MOM, IT'S ME!
[sniffs]
MOM!
MOM!
- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE FINE.
IT'S OKAY.
[sighs]
- THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD.
I SHALL NOT WANDER.
HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN
IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE
THE STILLED WATERS.
- [crying]
- HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.
HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATH
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR HIS NAMESAKE.
YEA, THOUGH I WALK...
- WHERE IS MOM?
- DON'T YOU REMEMBER
WHAT I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY?
- IS SHE AT HOME?
- NO.
NO, SHE'S IN HEAVEN NOW.
- DID GRAVITY TAKE HER?
- [sighs]
- SURELY, GOODNESS AND MERCY
SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
AND I WILL DWELL
IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD...
- NO, THE ANGELS TOOK HER.
- BUT SHE NEVER
HUGGED ME GOODBYE.
MY MOM ALWAYS HUGS ME GOODBYE.
[sniffs]
- I'M SO SORRY, ZACH.
- ...AND HELP US WHO REMAIN
TO COMFORT ONE ANOTHER
WITH ASSURANCES OF FAITH
UNTIL WE ALL MEET IN CHRIST
AND ARE WITH YOU
AND WITH OUR SISTER JILL
FOREVER.
AMEN.
all: AMEN.
- MOM'S NOT COMING BACK,
IS SHE?
- [whispers]
NO.
- PHILIP?
- WHAT IS IT, BUDDY?
- I'M SAD.
[sniffing]
- ME TOO, LITTLE GUY. ME, TOO.
[car doors closing]
[engines starting]
- SHE SOUNDED LIKE
A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
- YEAH, SHE LIVED HER LIFE
FOR LITTLE ZACH.
- EXCUSE ME.
- OH, I'M SORRY.
- OH, HONEY. OH.
IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE.
- THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
THIS IS MY COUSIN ROSE.
- OH, HOW ARE YOU?
- LISTEN, HONEY.
I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE BOYS.
BUT WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM
FOR ZACHARY.
I THINK IT'S
A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR HIM.
- OKAY. WE'LL TALK.
- NOW, YOU CALL ME.
YOU PROMISE?
- YEAH.
- OKAY.
- BYE.
- TAKE CARE.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- I'M WORRIED ABOUT ZACH.
I DON'T THINK HE REALLY
UNDERSTANDS
WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENED.
- WELL, JUST GIVE HIM SOME TIME.
HE'S A KID.
- THANKS.
- THAT WAS SWEET.
- [laughs]
- [sighs]
[dog panting]
[sighs]
[dog panting]
[clicks]
[traffic sounds]
[yawning]
- OKAY.
HA!
GOOD JOB.
- YOU, TOO.
- OKAY, WE'VE GOT TIME
FOR A QUICK LUNCH,
AND THEN I NEED TO GET TO WORK.
- OKAY. GOOD BOY.
- HERE YOU GO.
- WHAT?
- MOM SAYS IT'S NOT POLITE
TO START
BEFORE EVERYONE IS READY.
- OH, SORRY.
- AND NO ELBOWS ON THE TABLE.
- YEAH.
[knocking]
[unlocking]
[door closes]
- FINALLY.
- I'M REALLY SORRY, BUT I CAN'T
BABY-SIT YOUR NEPHEW TODAY.
- WHAT?
WHY NOT?
- THE APPLEBYS, THEY WENT
TO PALM SPRINGS AN HOUR AGO,
AND I SAID I'D WATCH
THEIR DOGS UNTIL THEY GOT BACK.
BETTY GETS SEPARATION ANXIETY
WHEN SHE'S AWAY FROM PEOPLE
FOR TOO LONG.
- NO, NO.
YOU-- YOU CAN'T DO THIS.
WE HAD-- WE HAD AN AGREEMENT.
- THE APPLEBYS
ARE MY BEST CLIENTS,
AND MY DAD--
MY FINANCIAL CONSULTANT
ADVISED ME
TO PUT THE NEEDS OF
MY BEST CLIENTS FIRST.
- WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST
TAKE ZACH WITH YOU
TO THE APPLEBYS?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?
YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK THAT
THIS PROVIDES
A PERFECT CROSS-SELLING
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.
BESIDES, YOU WOULD BE DOING ME
A HUGE FAVOR.
- OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.
[chattering]
- EXCUSE ME.
THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOU.
- HIT THE BALL.
DRAG HARRY.
[laughter]
AH, PHILIP FIELDER.
COWBOY BOB.
- SORRY I'M LATE.
- HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.
PUT A LITTLE GIDDY UP
IN THAT HANDSHAKE, PARTNER.
WE CAN'T HAVE YOU PRANCING
AROUND WITH A SQUEEZE LIKE THAT.
LOOKS LIKE THE SHOW'S
ABOUT TO BEGIN.
- GLAD TO SEE YOU GOT EVERYTHING
UNDER CONTROL, PHILIP.
- DON'T WORRY. CAESAR'S USED TO
BEING ALONE ALL DAY.
BESIDES, BETTY AND EUGENE
GET TOO EXCITED
WHEN THEY HAVE DOG VISITORS.
[dog whimpering]
I DO NOT WANT THEM
TO BREAK ANYTHING.
[keys jangling]
NOW, I'M WILLING TO FORGET ABOUT
THE CAT INCIDENT IF YOU ARE.
[muted dog barking]
[barking]
- HEY.
NO, I TOLD YOU MOMMY AND DADDY
AREN'T GOING TO BE BACK
UNTIL FRIDAY.
[kissing sounds]
- OH, IT'S GOOD.
[muted chatter]
- OKAY THEN!
MA'AM, HOW DID YOU LIKE
THE FOOD?
- THE SALSA?
- MM-HMM.
- IT WAS GOOD.
- OKAY, GREAT. WHAT ELSE?
- A LITTLE TOO SPICY
MAYBE.
I'D USE LESS JALAPENO PEPPERS.
- THOSE ARE HABANERO PEPPERS,
AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP.
- LET'S HEAR 'EM OUT.
- ANYONE?
- [slurping]
WELL, THE CUPS ARE TOO SMALL.
- HEY, PASS ME THAT.
- I GET THIRSTY WHEN I EAT.
- OKAY. CUPS TOO SMALL.
SALSA A BIT TOO SPICY.
HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE
COWBOY BOB'S TACOS
TO OTHER MEXICAN FOOD?
- TASTES GOOD.
[laughing]
- HERE, HERE.
- HEY.
LOOK AT THOSE TWO GUYS
OVER THERE.
- AH, WELL, I PUT IT AWAY TOO
WHEN IT'S ON
SOMEBODY ELSE'S DIME.

SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON THERE.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

YOU'RE GOING TO GO IN THERE

HURRY. GET HER OUT.
- OKAY.

CLEAN THIS PLACE UP, HUH?
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I CAN'T-- I CAN'T--
[tumbling]
I CAN'T DO THIS, OKAY.
I AM NOT EQUIPPED
TO DEAL WITH HIM.
- PHILIP, ACCIDENTS HAPPEN,
OKAY?
HE'S JUST A KID.
[dog growling]
MY COUSIN ROSE THINKS THAT
I SHOULD ENROLL HIM
IN A SCHOOL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENTALLY-CHALLENGED.
- YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU COULD
GET HIM RE-TESTED.
AT LEAST THEN YOU'LL KNOW
WHAT SPECIFIC ISSUES
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH.
- [groans]
SHE THINKS HE'D BE BETTER OFF
WITH HER IN FRESNO.
- FRESNO?
- YEAH.
THERE'S SOME KIND OF
A SPECIAL SCHOOL
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
- HE DOESN'T HAVE TO
GO LIVE IN FRESNO.
THERE ARE TRAINED EXPERTS
RIGHT HERE
WHO CAN HELP YOU
TAKE CARE OF HIM.
