[Water Sloshing]
[Fishing Reel Clicking Slowly]
- [Whirring Rapidly] - Henry!
- There he is! - [Mutters] Shit.
- You got him? - Let him eat.
Yeah. Let him eat it.
[Engine Starts]
All right, let's go! Got him on!
I got him!
Come on! Come on back! Whoo!
- Yeah! - Don't let it whip your ass!
He ain't goin' nowhere!
[Grunts]
Whoo! Look at this puppy go!
All right, hold up! Hold up! He's running.
- [Reel Whirring] - What is it?
I don't know. Feels like a bull. Maybe a hammerhead.
- Oh, no, it's a bull. - Yeah?
Okay, get ready. He's turning.
I got him. I got him. [Grunting]
Fuck. Whoo! Whoo!
All right, here he is! He's whupped! Let's do it!
- Watch the mouth! - Hey, you the one with the scar, man!
Here we go!
- You got him! Come on! - Henry!
[Shouting]
Yeah!
Peaceful out here. Ain't it, Henry?
- Yeah. - [Chuckles]
[Radio: Salsa]
[Radio: Announcer] ¡Buenos días! Good morning, Miami!
You are listening to 86.9, where the music is hotter than the weather!
[Continues]
- Got sand up my pants. - I don't do laundry.
Hey. Here.
So, how much to get your boat fixed, Henry?
New gasket, fuel pump, paint job-
Forget the paint.
- Fix it. - Tears in my eyes, man.
- Tears. - [Laughs]
- I've had it with the beach. - [Henry Laughs]
This is the year I get my own boat.
- Your toast burned. - I like it dark.
You're not going to work like that. Go put on a shirt.
This is a shirt.
No, this is a shirt. It has a collar, sleeves, cuffs, buttons.
No rips, no tears, no slogans.
So fire me.
[Woman] It's too early for this, guys.
- What's up? - He wants me to change my shirt.
Oh.
Well... you should go change your shirt.
Nice to have you home, just for the novelty.
I told you I was gonna play poker.
Boys' night out.
[Sighs]
- I won. - Hey! Lightning strikes.
We need to skip this conversation.
[Clears Throat]
I was at the market yesterday buying some groceries.
There was an enormous line...
and I was waiting for the card to go through.
And there was this old lady who started actually rolling oranges down the counter...
like a bowling alley.
We were canceled.
I know.
I felt about as big as an ant.
It's the third time this year.
I'll get you a new one. Things are gonna turn around.
That's your theme song.
Get her to go easy on the codeine, will ya.
Makes her mean.
Well, maybe if you got home on time once in a while, she could skip the chemical help.
All she did was break her ankle, Alex.
Did you never have a fight with his father?
- No. - Ah.
A saint. I should have known.
Only the good die young.
- [Door Closes] - Oh! Alex.
The Chateau Pichon-Longueville '85.
Stunning achievement. Can I call it profound, Alex?
Yeah, that's the word for it, all right.
Profound. Okay.
Todd! Has Jason loaded my car yet?
[Radio: Announcer] A hundred seventy-seven yards in the first half.
- [Radio Continues, Indistinct] - [Sniffing]
Fish.
[Sniffing] Not bad.
Fuck off.
[Radio: Announcer] Third down, seven yards to go.
You know what I was doing when I was your age, Jason?
Selling ties in Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Hundreds and hundreds of ties.
One time I got so hot, I sold the tie right off my own neck.
I was pulling down 500 a week.
Lawyers made less, and they went to college.
But you're broke. They're not.
[Exhales] I'm talking to you, Jason. I'm trying to teach you things.
And what do I get? Prime-time shit, shit and more shit.
Then you're probably used to it by now. You've been around half my life.
[Chuckles]
[Radio: Announcer] He's changing his play at the line.
This is Fryar in motion to the right. Marino drops back.
- Go deep. Deep! - He's under pressure. He's looking for Fryar!
Deep to Fryar! Throw it!
[Announcer] We're back live. Just over two minutes remaining in the half.
- Tie score, Mike. You're in trouble. - Don't underestimate Kelly.
- Kelly's walking in his sleep. - You're a bad influence on him.
[Radio Continues, Announcer Indistinct]
- [Woman] Good morning. - How are you?
This is my stepson, Jason.
Gabriela, Jason. Jason, Gabriela.
Hi.
How do you do?
Is Frank around?
They are down at the boat, Mr. Gates.
- Where do you want this? - These are for the voyage.
Show him to the boat. I'm going to put this in the wine cellar.
Sure. Come on.
- You don't look like a maid. - I'm not. I'm the nanny.
Do I look like a nanny?
Nope.
- [Grunts] - Good, Mr. Reese. Much better.
- Much better? - You're swinging too fast.
- Try to rotate your wrist a little bit. - What's wrong with my wrist?
I never see anybody to fish in the grass before.
- [Reese] Well! - [Jason] See?
- Why can't you just buy bait and then fish? - Fishing begins with bait.
Everything does.
- Where you off to? - Me?
I'm not going.
They hire an American nurse for the trip.
They go to Jamaica, Bermuda, St. Barts.
- What are you gonna do? - I house-sit.
Anyway, he's fine.
Ay, but I miss the baby.
I like babies.
From the shoulder this time.
That one needs a pacifier.
Is that heavy? You want to rest?
- You know how much a shark weighs? - A shark? No.
- How much a shark weigh? - About three times as much as you.
- [Giggles] You don't know that, because you don't know how much I weigh. - Ah.
Where's the boss?
- [Monitor: Baby Babbling] - He's up in the house.
- He'd open a bottle for me. - I don't have a corkscrew.
- [Monitor: Crashing] - What was that?
The baby's kicking inside of the crib.
You don't know that. She could have fallen out.
[Static Buzzing]
- She's not crying. - That's because she's dead on the floor.
Go check her. That's why we have a monitor.
[Pop]
She's smart, but she's got that cubano temperament.
Good for her.
[Baby Cooing]
[Whispers] Whoa.
- [Gabriela Whispering In Spanish] - [Baby Fussing]
Frank ever come on to you?
He has a beautiful wife.
Oh.
She ever come on to you?
[Giggles]
Alex.
Uh, you ready?
Yeah.
I can see you tomorrow night after class.
[Rapping On Glass]
[Coughs]
Hope I didn't interrupt your beauty sleep.
Well, I'm spared your type of day job.
Where are the photos?
The Reeses'll be gone three weeks.
A step down from your place in London, Vic.
The interesting thing about rich people is, they're so cheap.
They'll spend 1.3 million on a necklace...
with diamonds the size of chocolates.
[Coughs]
Then they'll lock it in a tin box from Sears.
- So we got no problems? - Not with the box.
Where does the alarm wire lead?
I don't know.
Into the wall, Vic. All right?
Oh. Lovely. Our first complication.
Look, you wanted photographs. I got you photographs.
[Alarm Blaring In Distance]
And I asked an amateur.
Haven't exactly been living in an ashram.
- You trust the girl? - Yeah, I trust her. She doesn't know anything.
Don't take it personally, Alex.
I don't trust the jury system, the phone company or the Israeli government.
Can we quit jerking off, Vic?
- Are we gonna be ready tomorrow? - Mm-hmm.
[Salsa: Woman Singing In Spanish]
This is for you.
[Continues]
My family want to know when they are going to meet you...
this man that I see so much.
They have expectations, Alex.
That's all.
- So do I. - [Continues]
Ahh. Come on.
- I'm gonna take you places, baby. - Oh, yeah? Where?
How 'bout Paris?
[Laughs] We can stay at the Ritz...
eat our way through every three-star restaurant in town.
- Uh-huh. - Buy you a suit at Chanel.
But no pink, please. I don't look good in pink.
Okay. No pink.
- [Giggles] - [Chuckles]
Which one?
Mmm.
- Both. - I knew you'd say that.
- [Both Laughing] - [Ends]
- [Wine Pouring] - [Sighs]
[Ballad]
You know, I could make a mistake and believe you.
You know, it's a mistake not to believe me.
Hi.
Go back to sleep.
I did this myself.
I think I look younger with my hair like this. Don't you?
You look like a janitor.
Fine. I don't have an ego.
Just so long as I don't match my mug shots.
- [Horn Honks] - Jesus!
Take it easy.
[Door Alarm Dinging]
[Doorbell Rings]
Ah, there you are, Mike.
- Don't flip the gate like that. - We're running a little behind.
- I got some wine- - Well, you missed 'em already.
- They sailed this morning. - Yeah, I know. They arranged for the nanny to let us in.
The Cuban girl? They fired her.
- What? - Yeah, right before they left.
Guess it don't pay to have that kind of ass in that kind of job, huh?
I have a schedule to keep, Mr. Gates.
- This'll have to be another day. - This can't wait.
Mr. Reese will lose his entire wine collection if we don't fix that humidifier.
- It'll cost him a fortune. - What's your name?
Harold.
Freeman.
I'll have to go get the keys.
[Vic Coughing]
Dear God. A cop on the job.
- This is where he can reach me. - Okay.
Thank you.
- Tell him I said I'm sorry. - For what?
Hi, Jason.
- Sir. - Thank you.
- You're working for idiots. - But those idiots pay me.
They give me a roof.
Now I have to go stay with my cousins.
My cousin, her husband, her four kids and six cats.
And I hate cats.
What's wrong with cats?
They leave hair all over the couch where I have to sleep.
- You'll find another job. - [Scoffs]
Like it's easy.
How old are you?
You're not that much older than me.
In this country everybody thinks they're in politics.
You don't have papers, they don't want to meet you.
Do you understand?
I'll give you a ride.
Oh, you wanna lose your job too?
Not even when I try.
- Henry. How's it goin'? - Hello, man.
[Laughs] So, uh, you ain't got to worry about it sinkin'.
- I been working on it every day. - Cool.
What's the matter? You nervous?
[Henry Giggling]
You okay?
- Good luck. - Gabriela!
You gonna be able to fix the thing, Harold, or do you need a replacement?
I'll tell you when I see the condition of the pipes.
The coolant might be leaking.
Where's the attic access?
[Coughing]
Damn fiberglass.
Either of you know how to kill the water to the house?
Oh, yeah. Sure, sure.
So, where are we going?
Ah, we got about four hours to Cuba.
Oh, really?
It took me a week.
Fifteen of us on a very small boat.
- I can turn around if you want. - No, it's okay.
I like the water.
Even when we were coming over, the sea was so beautiful.
I never wanted to sleep.
I was happy.
I was ashamed to be so happy.
People were dying.
- You still have family in Cuba? - Oh, yes.
And I'm gonna bring them- one by one, if I have to.
You don't think I can do that?
I think there's no stopping you.
[Alex] You understand, Mike? Television. Money.
Where's the sport? Where is the honor in that?
Any honor in that? Huh? Foreign products on it.
Ever been to Cleveland, Mike? What are they gonna do with all them doggie masks?
What's going on, Mike? I been waiting on you. My shift?
- What are you talking about? - Come on. Remember? They changed the schedule.
Well, shit, nobody told me.
- What are you doing with that sprinkler valve? - Sprinkler valve?
The fuck it's a sprinkler valve. We got some kind of emergency.
- Who's he? - Uh, Alex Gates.
Gates Wine?
Harold?
[Coughs]
Harold?
[Continues Coughing]
[Coughing Continues]
- Huh. Wind? - Keep goin'.
[Panting]
Well, I'll tell ya...
it ain't the pipes.
I've tightened a couple of valves in the attic. [Continues Panting]
- And I've taped some of the gaps. - Yeah?
- But you're not supposed to be in the house unaccompanied. - Well, is that our fault?
Sometimes, when we're waiting for the fish to bite...
I sit right there...
look out, watch the horizon.
There's nothing to see.
[Chuckles] I don't want to see anything.
Just that line- that line where the water touches the sky.
No neighbors.
No barking dogs.
Nobody in your face.
No bullshit.
Except your own.
Yeah, well, I can handle my own.
I like my bullshit.
It's not bad.
It probably even works.
[Chuckles]
You wanna be alone?
Now, this is a thousand points of light.
- Reagan didn't know what he was talking about. - Bush.
- What? - Bush said that, not Reagan.
Bullshit. It was Reagan. Bush was "Read my lips."
- What did you just do? - I like to take a photo of the goods.
Avoids any disagreement on the sale.
- You got me in the picture. - Did I?
Give me the photograph.
We'll tear it up when we have the money.
There's no such thing as honor among thieves. It's a myth.
- What's this? - I thought it over.
I can't move that. I'm on parole. I'm known. You're not.
So you'll fly to New York, catch a cab, take a walk, find an address.
Pas de problème, as they say in Bordeaux.
In other words, you're too chickenshit to do it yourself.
Maybe I am.
You're right. I am.
I don't fly economy.
[Bridge Bell Ringing]
[Cell Phone Beeping]
- [Chattering In Spanish] - [Cats Meowing]
- [Phone Ringing] - Telephone.
- Hello. - Hey, I got the note. Fuck the Reeses.
I'll pick you up in an hour. We're booked on a 10:15 flight to New York.
Papi, tell me you love me.
Chica. [Laughs]
You'll see.
[Giggles]
- [Emergency Brake Sets] - [Engine Off]
[Door Opens, Closes]
[Sighs]
Where are you going to this time?
Napa. I got a problem with a supplier.
Goddamn California boutique wineries.
They're all owned by lawyers.
- Oh, I was looking for those. - Tom and Lucy Garcia?
They're agents. They're going to New York to see a wholesaler.
First class?
Yes. Sometimes you gotta keep up relationships.
Apparently not with me.
Don't you have physical therapy tonight?
Oh, you didn't notice. The bandage is off.
Did I come home too early?
Look, I got an idea.
Sit down at your desk and write out all your complaints.
Then when I get back, we can have one of those nice, long fights you like so much.
But right now I gotta catch a plane.
So give me the goddamn tickets!
- That is my suitcase! - I'll FedEx it to ya.
- You're gonna talk to me! - You already broke your leg on these stairs once, Suzanne.
- I don't want it to happen again. - I tripped on one of your damn golf balls!
- I wasn't drunk! - You were plastered!
I put Terry's life insurance into that store, and you spent it on your girlfriends...
while my checks bounced!
I let you mortgage my house!
Eight years I worked my cock off in that store for you- 12-hour days, one-day weekends!
Don't you tell me I didn't try!
All right, give me the keys.
- You are gonna talk to me. - Give me the keys.
Wasting my life! [Groaning]
I don't wanna hurt you!
No! No! [Panting]
No! Aaah!
[Grunts, Screams]
[Gasping, Sobbing]
You bastard!
- [Yells] - [Groans]
[Grunting]
[Panicked Panting]
[Gasps]
[Groans, Panting Continues]
- What's going on? - [Gasps]
- What happened? - We're leaving.
- Mom-Jesus Christ! - No! Don't go in there!
- Mom? - Don't go in there!
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
- I won't wait for you! - Wait for me!
[Groaning]
[Car Engine Starts]
- Is he dead? - Not enough.
[Horn Honks]
- [Gasps] My wallet! - What?
- Oh, my God, my wallet. - Where is it?
- Look in my bag! - Just pull over!
- I can drive! I taught you to drive! - No, I'm gonna drive.
Oh, God. I've gotta calm down.
- But you don't even know where we're going. - All right, all right.
- Where? - Okay, can you get to Key Largo?
A friend of mine has a houseboat. We can use it for a while.
Mom, relax. We'll be there in an hour.
[Groans]
[Country]
[People Chattering, Laughing]
[Chattering Continues, Woman Screams, Laughs]
How'd she find this place?
Linda has a weakness for bartenders.
- Well, it's a short walk for a beer. - [Chuckling]
- Where's the key, Mom? - Here, I think.
[Coughs]
Mugged by your own wife, eh?
[Grunts]
How ironic.
You should have let me do it.
I darned my own socks in prison.
Lovely.
[Alex] They won't be hard to find.
I never understand your optimism.
It lacks foundation.
I know 'em.
I know how they think.
[Suzanne] "Director of catering.
Island concierge. " Sounds great.
"Landscape. Housekeeping manager. "
Oh, I see some definite possibilities here.
You don't need to take a job you don't like. I've got enough money.
You don't. Believe me.
Your name Henry?
I'm Jason's father, Alex.
His father is dead.
Well, stepfather.
Yeah, so, uh- so, where is he?
- He didn't show up last night. - Oh, yeah?
Well, he didn't come home either. His mother's worried about him.
Well, maybe he's at his girlfriend's house, you know.
You know where she is?
Uh... no.
I just- I just figured there has to be one.
- Give us a hint. - Hey! How am I supposed to know?
- Oh, shit! - Hey!
Goddamn it! You're not helping!
- Aaah! - Damn it!
- God! - Christ.
- [Henry Groaning] - You all right? You all right?
- Yeah. - Let me see.
- God! - Oh, yeah. Okay. You're all right.
Look, Henry. We got a serious business problem.
Can you tell him?
- Yeah. Yeah. - Thanks.
- You sure you're all right? - Yes.
[Coughing, Retching]
Did he hurt ya?
Don't ever do that to me again.
[Groans]
That's 356 round stones-
Either the whole piece or individual stones. Put the word out, Marty.
The central stone weighs 32 carats. They're all perfectly matched.
No, I'm consulting for the insurance company now. Life's strange, isn't it?
Kid never goes far from water.
Call Sarasota, Fort Meyers, Key West.
- You find your visor? - No.
Well, it's in there. Look in the pocket.
This was in the suitcase.
Goddamn son of a bitch.
You know what paste costs? Good paste?
- It's yours now. - I don't want anything of his.
- Send it back. Throw it away. Get rid of the damn thing. - Okay.
- How much do you think it's worth? - Seventy-five dollars.
- Seventy-five dollars? - For the appraisal.
- Oh. - If you want it in writing-
Just approximately. I mean-
[Chuckling] No one is gonna pay a million dollars around here.
- Maybe in Miami. - A million dollars?
More in New York.
I have some private contacts.
Why don't you give me your number.
Um...
I'm gonna come back and see ya.
You staying around here?
Thanks.
[Phone Line: Dialing]
I-Is this-
I want to speak to a Mr. Victor.
I'm calling from Largo.
We could sign on to a charter.
That's what you and Dad were gonna do.
I'll crew, you cook.
- Why? It's pretty here. - Mom, it's next to a bar.
- True. - Come on.
The Mediterranean, huh?
The Turkish coast?
- It's great fishing there. - [Laughs]
Okay. Freedom.
[Laughs]
It's obvious she love you.
What is that, some kind of Latin concept? Kill the one you love?
Well, I could do the same to keep you.
- You don't say. - Uh-huh.
Then my cousins would come...
put you on a spit and roast you like a pig.
Do me a favor. Don't love me.
[Giggles]
You, uh-
You okay for cash while I'm gone?
Alex, I thought I was coming with you.
You are, when I get back.
This is just a couple of days.
Dull, boring days.
Hey! Thanks, boss.
Hi.
[Gabriela] ¡Voy! ¡Voy! ¡Ya vengo!
What are you doing here?
Came to see the cats.
- Well, I am moving soon anyway. - Moving? Where?
Uh-
With who?
Someone I care about.
Good.
Are you happy?
Yeah.
You don't look so happy.
Well, I guess you are going to have to take my word for it.
Yeah, I guess so.
[Door Opens]
Bueno.
You can reach me there for a while.
Take care of yourself.
Yeah. You too.
