Mom, what are you doing?
You're going to catch your death.
Come on inside.
Mr. Sullivan?
Mr. Sullivan!
God just took out Mrs. Gruper's birdbath.
He's getting closer, Clive.
Last year, it was streetlight at the end of the block.
Now it's Mrs. Gruper's birdbath.
I think God's zeroing in on me.
I have the feeling this is the year he lowers the boom.
Still alive in there, old lady?
Didn't die in your sleep, did you?
Not yet.
Well, you're talking to yourself,
so it can't be too long.
As a matter of fact, I wasn't talking to myself.
I was talking to Clive Sr.
Good. For a while there,
I thought you were going batty on me.
Can I interest you in a cup of tea?
No.
Not now, not ever.
Why are you wearing a necktie?
You're not in trouble
with the police again, are you?
Not unless you blew the whistle on all my parking tickets.
I should.
There's probably a reward.
Before they do throw you in the hoosegow,
would you mind fixing the porch railing?
It's been broken for a month.
Sure thing, old girl.
Just don't forget.
Do I ever?
Yes.
Well, I won't this time.
So, what's The Bank been up to lately?
I wish you wouldn't call him that.
Is Clive Jr. Springing for Thanksgiving dinner?
Yes. As a matter of fact,
my son is taking me to the country club.
We wear the chains we forge in life.
I don't suppose
you remember who said that.
You did, Miss Beryl.
All through eighth grade.
Hey, dummy.
Don't you have enough sense to come inside
where it's warm?
You know what I always wish?
I wish I had me enough money for a warm coat.
You know what else I wish?
No, what else do you wish?
I wish we'd go back to working together like we used to.
I hear Carl Roebuck has this big Victorian...
Oh, no.
Well, he's redoing it.
Nah, forget it.
Six months work, all indoors.
Told you I'm not working for him again.
Besides, my lawyer says when I get out of court today,
I'm going to be a rich man.
In that case, can I borrow ten dollars?
Rub...
there are women in this town that I could hang out with
that would be cheaper than you.
Yeah, but they wouldn't be your friend.
Well, here we are again, Mr. Wirfley.
The question is, why?
Your Honor, we would like to document for the court
the deterioration of my client's knee,
resulting from an injury he sustained
while in the employ of the Tip Top Construction Company.
I have here countless documents from reputable doctors
who have...
I had them here someplace...
- Mr. Wirfley... - With your patience...
Mr. Wirfley...
Your Honor?
You have failed on numerous occasions to demonstrate
that the injury in question was a result of negligence
on the part of the employer.
The court finds for the Tip Top Construction Company
and against Mr. Sullivan.
Sully... Sully?
I should've known better than to hire a one-legged lawyer.
Well, you can't afford a two-legged lawyer.
Don't get discouraged, okay?
It's a temporary setback... that's all.
You've got to remember our strategy.
Strategy? That's the first I ever heard of any strategy.
Sooner or later, we'll wear the bastards down.
The court is already starting
to get pissed.
You heard the judge.
He's pissed at you, Wirf.
Only because he knows I won't go away.
I know how he feels.
He called in sick,
he's on the phone, he's in the Bahamas...
Take your pick... he doesn't want to see you.
The Bahamas sound swell.
Ruby, grab his checkbook.
We'll take off.
There's about 1,000 other guys
I would take with me before you.
Thanks, honey.
I heard the judge threw you and that two-bit lawsuit
out of court.
Hope you didn't have to pay him more than you owed me.
Aw, Sully, don't be bitter.
America's a great place.
Where else could a cripple
and a drunk, one-legged lawyer even get to talk to a judge?
Good news is I got a job even you can't screw up.
I told you I'm not working for you
till you pay me what you owe me.
Forget about it. You were working off the books, okay?
You don't hire anybody unless they work off the books.
And you won't work
except off the books, Sully.
Think you got a right to steal from anybody
that's got a couple bucks in their pocket?
I'm supposed to assume
the position just 'cause you got a bum knee and no prospects?
Bullshit.
Besides, you did shoddy work, okay.
- You think I got where I got... - What?
...by doing shoddy work?
No.
You didn't get where you are by doing shoddy work.
You didn't get where you are by doing any work.
You got where you are because your daddy gave it to you,
and he drove himself into an early grave so you could
piss it away on ski trips and sports cars.
I haven't been skiing in two years, Sully.
Hey, look, personally, I don't give a goddamn whether
you go broke, which you probably will, but before you do,
you're going to pay me what you owe me.
I'm not going to pay you.
I don't owe you a goddamn cent.
I'm going to come through that goddamn door,
I'm going to grab you
by your pin head,
and I'm going to throw you out the window.
Five... four...
three... two... one.
What kind of work?
Shit.
Dad?
Peter?
You need a lift?
All right.
Well, been a while.
Three years.
Weren't you supposed to be working at teaching...
what's that school?
University of West Virginia.
Oh, yeah.
What brings you guys this far north?
Vera.
Welcome to the Thanksgiving from hell.
Goddamn it, Charlotte,
if we're going to start the weekend like this...
Oh, Vera... how is she, anyway?
I don't think I've seen her
since the last time you guys were up here.
Well, now,
how can you live in a town this size
and not see your ex-wife all the time?
That's easy, darling.
Peter's mom and I don't exactly travel in the same circles.
As a matter of fact,
Vera pretty much travels in a straight line.
Somebody in this family had to.
Who are you?
He's your grandfather.
Does he always look like that?
Yeah, most of the time.
How come they call you "Wacker"?
Wacker!
I didn't do anything.
You okay?
He hit him.
- Stop the car. - You what?
I did not.
- What happened? - Did so.
Stop before I throw that little
son of a bitch out.
Sweetie...
Go get your dad and see if he's okay.
Would somebody tell me what's going on?
What do you think, Peter?
Go get your dad.
All right, all right.
I'm going, okay.
Why are you always hitting?
What the hell happened, Dad?
What's the matter?
Jesus Christ.
Wacker did that?
Oh, don't be a jerk.
I fell off a scaffold about six months ago.
Have you seen a doctor?
Yeah, saw about 20 of them.
What'd they say?
About 20 different things.
Well, thanks for the lift.
Look, get back in the car.
I'll take you wherever you want to go.
Oh, no.
See you around.
You sure you're okay?
Oh, I'm good, I'm good.
Don't worry about it.
Hey, listen...
why don't you stop by Mom's tomorrow?
Better ask Vera about that.
I don't have to ask permission
to invite my own father to Thanksgiving dinner.
I'll think about it.
Hey.
Yeah?
You ain't naked or anything, are you?
No, but I can be in about two seconds.
Take your time.
I need a cup of coffee.
East Towing? Sullivan.
Yeah, I'm just around the corner:
313 Harmon.
Pick me up.
Hey... charge it.
Tip Top Construction Company.
Bye.
Horace?
Hi, Sully. I ain't naked either.
Oh, thank God for that.
Lord, how does a man get that dirty?
Working for your husband.
I thought you were never going to work for Carl again.
Aw, it's just temporary.
Here's your keys.
I wish I hadn't of let you talk me into doing this.
Oh, well. I'd cash it as quickly as possible.
Thanks, Mr. Yancy.
Hey, while you got your checkbook out,
why don't you pay me what your husband owes me?
Dummy and I ironed the whole thing out
down at the office, but all he had
was a company checkbook, see? So he...
Nice try, Sully.
He does owe me.
Well, get in line.
He owes everybody.
You take a big pile of money, and you go have a heart bypass...
see how much money you have left after that.
What's going on?
Changed the locks, and throwing out his clothes.
As far as I'm concerned, he no longer lives here.
It's a bold move.
Won't work.
It might get his attention.
Well, maybe it will, and maybe it won't.
You know... when my trifecta comes in,
why don't you dump what's-his-name
and run away with me?
Where would we go?
Hawaii. Someplace where it's warm.
You know, where they got umbrellas in the drinks.
Where they rub you with coconut oil.
Got to go.
Hang in there.
Hang in there?
That's it? That's the sum of your wisdom on the subject?
It's the sum of my wisdom on most subjects.
Hey, there you are.
Where the hell have you been?
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Well, you should have given up.
Aces over.
Three tens.
Phooey!
Deal me in.
I sure do like a woman whose love ain't for sale.
Screw you, Sully.
Got to go tinkle.
Ruby?
What now?
Don't take your love to town.
Ruby...
Don't take your love to town.
For God's sakes, turn around.
Have a little respect, fellas.
Look, I know
we didn't do so good today, but...
there's a zillion things we can try.
Nope.
When was the last time you won a case, Wirf?
What's that got to do with anything?
Cut.
Gray river
around a green monkey's ass.
You know, Sully, you're the only guy I know
still dumb enough to believe in luck.
I used to believe in brains and hard work till I met you.
Deal.
Seven card.
Which one of your fancy doctors advised you
to drink, smoke and screw your brains out?
Those are unreasonable requests, Sully.
They wouldn't have made them if they didn't know me.
If they had known you, they wouldn't have fixed you.
King bets.
Last call.
You want to Sheetrock one of them houses for me
over on Nelson tomorrow?
Hey, I thought you said
you were never going to work for Carl again.
Shut up, Rub.
Sheetrock is a two-man job.
What about it, rubber head?
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving.
I won't work on Thanksgiving.
Sure, you will.
Double time.
In your dreams.
Oh, Sheetrock the son of a bitch yourself.
Why should I pay you double time, Sully?
Hey, what's tomorrow, Rub?
It's fucking Thanksgiving.
Know what burns my ass, Sully?
You wouldn't even know it was Thanksgiving
if it wasn't for Rub.
Know enough to know that it's double time. Five.
Know what Thanksgiving is?
Down and dirty.
Thanksgiving is a time for normal people, Sully,
to do normal things... to be in the bosom
of their family.
And that, my friend, is not you.
It's still going to be double time.
Yeah. Sheetrock
the son of a bitch yourself.
Bet's to you, Jocko.
Ten.
Well, I'm out.
What's wrong with you?
I'm trying to communicate with you telepathically.
Forget about it.
Only way to communicate with Sully
is to whack him in the head with a shovel.
It's your bet, genius.
15.
Call.
Eights full.
All the nines.
Jesus H. Christ.
I was trying to tell you to fold.
Cash me in, Jocko. You know, Rub,
I think your supervisor here
is in for a little rude awakening.
Tomorrow morning, about 7:00 a.m.,
he's going to be out there
shoveling old Miss Beryl's driveway,
ten below, fingers freezing.
Then, all of a sudden, it's going to occur to him,
"Hey, I could be indoors
"working where it's nice and warm...
"working with my old buddy Rub.
"I know what I'll do... call my good friend,
"Honest Carl Roebuck... take him up on that
"Sheetrocking job he offered me...
maybe earn back some of my money I lost playing cards."
But you know what?
By tomorrow...
it's going to be too fucking late.
Think about it, schmucko.
That you, Sully?
Yeah.
Did you come to steal our new snowblower?
I've done it already, just about.
I could legally shoot you, and get away with it.
Not unless I'm breaking and entering.
Are you going to break and enter?
So, what's happening with Dummy?
I don't know.
He took my threat to shoot him
a lot more seriously than you just did.
The poor guy
just had a bypass.
Maybe he's trying
to cram everything he can do into six months.
When he realizes he's going to live until he's 70,
he'll slow down.
If I had my way, he wouldn't live till Thanksgiving.
Go ahead... steal our snowblower.
You're the slowest goddamn thief I ever saw.
Sully, give me a light.
Give me a light.
Go home, you jerk.
You're married to the best- looking woman in Bath.
Who was it said, "A man's reach should exceed his grasp"?
And tell her you love her?
Or else I will.
God, Sully...
I sure hope I don't end up like you.
I hope you don't either.
60 years old, and still getting crushes
on other men's wives.
I would hope, by the time I'm your age,
I'm a little smarter than that.
Can't hurt to hope.
You sure are off to a slow start.
You know, I got one just like that.
Identical.
Does this mean
you're finally going to get around
to fixing my porch railing?
I'll do it today, I promise.
Do you mind my asking what you are doing?
I'm keeping the guy that I stole this from
from stealing it back.
Donald,
does it ever bother you
that you haven't done more with the life God gave you?
Not often.
Now and then.
And it's not just the theme park...
it's all the businesses that go along with it.
How are you?
Hotels, restaurants, gas stations.
- Happy Thanksgiving. - Do you people have any idea
what property values are going to go to around here?
Why, just this morning,
Mr. Lomax and I were talking on the phone, and he said...
Well, C.W., do you mind
telling these people what you told me?
The fact is, Clive Jr., we're talking
about an initial investment of 100 million.
Oh, Joe.
That's just for starters.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
I think they want us to go up.
Mother?
Oh, yes, I will say
that I certainly have appreciated your hospitality.
Clive has been just wonderful through all of this.
I couldn't have done any of it without him.
You must be very proud of your son.
Actually, he's not really my son.
They switched bassinets in the hospital.
It's a long story, Clive.
She's just kidding.
So now, the Dolphins will set up to kick.
Dallas, back deep to return
for the Cowboys... Williams and...
Want some help?
No.
Mom...
Charlotte wants us to leave in the morning.
It's just it's...
We're not doing too well.
Being here makes it worse.
You know who I blame for this?
Donald Sullivan.
Mom...
There was a show on Oprah the other day
about men who can't face responsibility.
About how they had destroyed their children's lives.
I promise you, it fit Donald Sullivan to a T.
There's one thing Oprah understands.
It's men.
What's that truck doing out there?
Dad!
Hey, how are you?
I'm sorry I'm late.
I just got here.
Shit.
Ten. He's going to dive to the goal.
Touchdown... Miami!
Sully, is that you?
Hey.
What a surprise.
Vera will be tickled pink to see you.
Your mother doesn't know I'm coming?
I didn't think you'd really show up.
Vera, guess who's here.
I'll be right there.
What's taking you so long?
I have to pee.
Out of the way, doofus.
Wacker!
Wacker, I'm warning you.
Listen... I forgot something in the garage.
Yeah. I... I'd better check on Charlotte.
The snap is high, the kick is up, it's good!
I really mean it this time, Wacker.
Sully.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Mommy!
Wacker, no. Wacker... no...
Hey, come out of there now, Will.
What are you doing here?
Open the door right now!
- I mean it. - What's the matter, sweetie?
What happened? Oh, what did you do to him?
What did I do to him? What did he do to me?
What did he do to my mother's china?
Charlotte, for God's sake!
Don't "For God's sake,
Charlotte" me! What did you do to him?
I beg your pardon.
This is all your fault.
All right, Will,
I'm going to count to ten.
...three...
What's the matter now, Raymer?
Broken tail light. This is the third time.
One more time, Sully, and I'm impounding this heap of yours.
Jesus Christ.
Raymer, it's Thanksgiving.
Yeah, well, if you'd fixed it
the first time, this wouldn't happen.
That's $15.
You can mail it in or you can come by the station.
If it's not paid within 30 days, you'll be held in contempt.
Boy, I hope you get laid sometime soon.
You know, someday, smartass, I'm going to nail you...
when you least expect it.
You okay?
Will.
Yeah, Will.
Is he dead?
Who?
Wacker.
No, but he's pretty bent out of shape.
You better come and sit up front with me.
Come on. There you go. Yeah.
Hello.
Missing anybody?
Oh, thank God. Where are you?
Cozy Corner.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Thank you.
You and Wacker fight all the time?
Sometimes.
At least you got even. That's something.
When Mom and Dad get divorced...
Divorced?
When Mom and Dad get divorced,
I'm going to go and live with my dad,
and Wacker will go and live with Mom.
She'll find out how really bad Wacker is.
Yeah?
And when Mom and Dad get back together,
everything will be different.
We'll live in a house instead of an apartment,
and I'll have my own room,
and Wacker won't be able to play with my toys
unless I say so.
And Mom and Dad won't argue anymore,
or fight about money or anything.
Hey, pal.
Hi, Dad.
Thanks for calling.
The... situation
at the house has just gone ballistic.
What's with you and Charlotte?
Sometimes I think you did the smart thing...
just running away.
I only got about five blocks.
Well, you might as well have gone to the moon.
You trying to get me to say I'm sorry?
No. I know better than that.
Come on, pal.
Let's go.
Tell me something.
Do you ever even think about me?
I guess, sometimes. Yeah.
Well, I thought about you all the time.
Hiya!
Hi.
Come on in, Sully.
Come on. Take a load off.
This is men's night at Casa Roebuck.
We're drinking from the bottle.
Where's Dummy?
Where's Ruby?
Why does he do it?
Well, he's not in love with her, if that's what you mean.
Hey, I don't know the reason
why I do half the things that I do,
let alone your dimwit husband.
Well, did you ever get so mad
that you wanted to shoot somebody?
That's why I don't carry a gun.
Well, maybe we should go out
and buy a couple of .357 Magnums and rob banks...
like Bonnie and Clyde.
Just you and me.
Well, you'd have to be Clyde.
I'm too tired.
You always cheer me up.
I think it's because you're the only person I know
who's worse off than me.
Nah. It's because... deep down, secretly...
you're in love with me.
Really?
You betcha.
I guess we'll never know.
Not at the rate we're going.
Well, if you're not in love with me, I'm going home.
Oh, where did numbnuts hide the snowblower?
Over at the Tip Top.
I'll steal it back again tomorrow...
or the next day.
Watch out
for that mean-ass dog.
Not worried about the dog.
I'm worried about whether I can get over that fence
with one leg.
Oh, you're a man among men, Sully.
Well, thanks.
That wasn't a compliment.
I know you don't like the idea,
but you should sell this place
and let me invest the money
in real estate out by the theme park.
There's big money headed this way.
Serious money.
This could be the new Gold Coast.
You're right...
I don't like the idea.
Besides, I can't sell this place.
I have a tenant.
That's another thing.
Sully has to go.
I was up there last night.
You should see that place for yourself...
countless cigarette burns.
This house could go up in flames any minute.
Clive, you know Mr. Sullivan
does not like you snooping around.
I wasn't snooping around.
I was just looking after my mother's interest,
which is more than she'll do for herself.
I mean, keeping this house is
lunatic enough without having a pyromaniac for a tenant.
Why is it that everyone in town can see through him except you?
Oh, dear God in heaven.
Mr. Sullivan! Mr. Sullivan!
Mother, what is it?
What's the matter?
Mr. Sullivan, come quickly!
It's Miss Hattie!
Mother, I'll take care of it.
Thank heavens
you're still here.
Hattie's escaped again.
Stay put. I'll get her.
Hurry. She's in the middle of the street.
Hurry is not what I do best.
I'm looking for my muffler.
Is that The Bank?
Tell him he's in trouble.
Hurry.
I am hurrying.
It just looks like slow motion.
No driving on the sidewalk.
Hi, good-looking.
You running away from home?
Where you headed?
To my sister's in Albany.
Let me give you a lift.
I think you'll get there quicker.
Okay.
Listen, what say you and me go dancing some night?
Dancing?
Yeah. Just you and me.
Hey, Sully.
Hi, Jake.
How you doing, Sully?
There you go, safe and sound.
Oh, God.
Oh, Ma.
What gets into you?
Thanks, Sully.
Yeah.
Just take care of things, okay,
while I look after Mom.
Well, Rufus,
I guess it's just you and me.
Here... these go to Jocko. He takes ketchup.
I don't get time for a cup of coffee?
Sully.
Give these to Jocko in the second booth.
I want to talk to you.
Hey.
I could've...
Takes ketchup.
I could've handled that business.
I didn't need
your interference.
How was your Thanksgiving, Clive?
You have a nice day?
What'd you do?
Nothing, nothing much.
I... just had dinner with my mother.
Nothing much?
I thought maybe you were someplace
you shouldn't have been.
We've been through this before.
A landlord has...
You are not my landlord.
My mother is your...
Is the only reason I don't kick your ass.
You don't get out of here right now,
I may change my mind.
Hey, the ketchup stays here.
Judge Wapner's verdict is coming right up.
First of all, I'm certainly sorry that the bird died...
there's no question about that.
We... sympathy is with you, but we don't decide cases
on the basis of sympathy.
Hey, Birdy, you got any aspirin?
Is it your knee?
Yeah, thought it was getting better.
That accident caused the trauma to the knee.
That's arthritis.
Arthritis doesn't get better.
Gets worse.
Here...
Eat these... You'll feel better.
Thanks.
Didn't know pharmacists made house calls.
How much do I owe you?
Nada. They're samples.
Well, if you're really getting a guarantee,
then it should be in writing.
Okay, shyster, who do you like?
The plaintiff.
It's a lock.
I'll take your defendant.
You weren't even here for the stories.
Yeah, but I know my lawyer.
Turn it up.
...he'd either have to be foolhardy
or stupid to say, "I'm going to guarantee you a healthy bird."
Judgment is for the defendant.
You know, you're my only consistent source of income.
I don't know why I even come in here.
To be among friends?
That must be it.
All you people ought to treat me better.
When I'm gone, you'll discover how hard it is
to find a one-legged lawyer who's always in a good mood.
Well...
Vaya con huevos, amigos.
"Go with eggs"?
Peter!
Oh, hi.
What's going on?
I don't know.
Where do you want to start?
Wife and I had a major shoot-out last night.
She left... took Wacker with her.
So where's Will?
He's staying with me.
Anyway, I ought to be going.
Hey, you busy right now?
Me?
Well...
fact of the matter is, Mom has a headache,
and I promised her I'd get her some aspirin.
Just the guy I'm looking for. Come on.
Yeah, but I...
Come on.
Haven't got all night.
You want some buns?
Dogs don't eat buns.
Buying ground beef for your dog?
I don't have a dog.
Don't seem to care about that too much.
Anyway...
You know, she's been threatening to leave for months.
Thing is...
I never should've made her come up for Thanksgiving,
'cause Mom is the one person in this world
she dislikes more than me.
Jesus Christ, man!
Yeah, that's okay.
Here, hold this.
God.
What's that?
One...
What's going on?
Two...
Think it's enough?
What are you doing, Dad?
I think you're right.
I think we need one more.
Dad.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Bowzer.
Look at that.
Come on.
Room service.
Yeah... yeah, yeah. Come on.
There you go.
Oh, God.
I don't believe this.
I'm a member of Greenpeace,
and I just helped poison a dog.
Well, for one thing, it ain't poison.
For another, you didn't help much.
That part comes later.
You had any supper?
No.
Well, come on. I'll buy you a hamburger.
Hey, if it's not too much trouble,
would you mind telling me what the hell is going on?
Later, maybe.
I'm not sure this is a good idea.
Don't worry about it.
I don't know.
He could be waiting to pounce.
Nah, he's all pounced out.
Well, maybe it's a trick.
Ain't the smartest dog in the world, you know.
Yeah, just the meanest.
Watch.
See?
Looks like a good place. Come on.
Tell me again this is your own snowblower we're stealing.
I knew your mother was gonna raise you like this. Get going.
Well, what if somebody comes by and sees me up...
Hey, hey, hey, climb, will you?
I'm not getting any younger.
All right.
Don't get stuck.
Don't get stuck? That's it?
My father walks out on his family when I'm a year old
and all my life I've been waiting
for him to show up and act like a father.
So here I am, finally with my dad, together at last...
Quality time... right?
And what are we doing?
Breaking and entering.
And what are his words of wisdom?
"Don't get stuck."
You okay?
Yeah.
All right, here.
Watch it.
Try not to cut your arm off.
Dad?
Don't move.
You were right.
That third pill was the winner.
Wow. I mean, wow, that was...
You know, when I... when I saw that dog, I thought...
I've never done anything like that before.
You know what Mom's worst fear is?
That your life has been fun.
Tell her not to worry.
I want to show you something.
Hey, we're not going to break into this place, too, are we?
Nah... I got the key to this one.
Or I used to.
You own this place?
City probably owns most of it now in back taxes.
I grew up here.
It was my father's house.
As far as I'm concerned, it can rot.
He was some piece of work... your grandfather.
That good?
Yeah, he was... he was good,
when he was sober, but then,
I don't think anybody ever saw him sober.
Your grandmother took the worst of it.
She was just a...
tiny, little woman, and...
my God, he could make her fly.
One minute, she'd be standing... over there,
and the next minute, she'd be...
...on the opposite side of the room,
just sitting on the floor.
I made the mistake once of trying to get in between them.
I don't know... I was 12 or something, and... and...
he didn't much care for that.
He...
I had thought he was going to kill me.
Jesus Christ.
Well, anyway, fuck him eternally.
I suppose you're going to be saying the same thing about me
when I'm gone.
You were gone, Dad.
I already said it.
Well, you sure did get over that fence pretty good
for a college professor.
Yeah, well...
I'm not a college professor anymore.
I was...
I got fired.
It's no big deal.
University cut back the English Department.
Trouble is, it's just hard as hell
getting a job teaching these days, you know?
I've been looking, and...
schools aren't hiring right now.
Anyway, I didn't mean to go on about it.
I'll figure something out.
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in coming to work for me?
Ah, yeah,
that'd be dumb.
I couldn't pay you very much.
Minimum wage?
Well, I could do better than that.
That's fine.
Sure, yeah, that-that, that's fine.
Sure you know how to do this kind of work?
How do you think I put myself through college?
Peter?
Hi, Pop.
Is that your dad with you?
Hey, Ralph.
What's that?
That's a brand-new snowblower.
Thought you might be able to use it.
I don't know, Sully.
I can't afford something like that.
I don't see why not... didn't cost me anything.
Yeah, that's true.
Just as long as I can come back and borrow it
every once in a while...
especially if it keeps on like this.
No problem.
Yeah, Pop,
I think the best thing
would be to keep it in the garage.
Under a tarp.
Right.
Sure thing.
This is really awfully good of you, Sully.
Don't mention it.
I'll leave the door open for you, Peter.
Thanks, Pop.
Oh, damn, I forgot the aspirin for Mom.
Well...
why don't you give her one of these?
Oh, I don't know, that's...
Don't worry.
She'll thank you for it.
Listen, tonight was pretty...
Yeah.
Can I borrow a dollar?
Nope.
You can borrow a jelly donut, though.
You can't borrow a jelly donut.
Once you eat it, it's gone.
Once you borrow a dollar, it's gone.
I'd rather buy you a jelly donut.
Morning, Dad.
Hey, bro, how you doing? Morning, Cass.
Hey, you wouldn't have
another one of those for Will, would you?
Sorry, Peter... that's the last one.
You don't mind, do you, Sancho?
Hey, did you see...
It's okay. You bringing the kid to work today?
Yeah. Mom had to take Ralph to the doctor.
Don't worry. He won't be any trouble.
Not the point.
Dumb... what if he gets hurt?
How?
He could fall in a ditch.
He could run into a nail. I don't know.
What's so funny?
Nothing.
You mean, I worry about him, and I never worried about you?
Well, you skipped a generation, didn't you?
Okay.
Why don't you guys get going?
I got some stuff to do in town.
I could take Will with me.
That okay with you?
You stay with your granddad?
All right. Great.
Come on, Sancho, let's go to work.
How come I got to go to work with him?
'Cause I say so.
Well, why are you so nice to him?
He doesn't even like you.
I know...
but I'm growing on him.
Come on, hot shot.
You want to drive?
Come on over... come on, scoot over.
There you go.
Just be careful of my bum leg, okay?
There you go.
Put your hands on the wheel right up here.
There you go.
Got it?
Yeah.
All right.
See how it goes there?
Okay, you're on your own, kid.
Oh, there...
There you go. Back... there you go.
There you go.
It's jiggling.
No, it's not jiggling... it's wobbling.
That's what old trucks do,
they wobble.
I like it. It's a nice truck.
Yeah, it is.
It is kind of a nice truck, isn't it?
An invoice...
from how long ago?
No, there's no sign of it, Leon.
Sorry.
I'll keep looking...
but no promises, okay?
Okay. Bye.
So, what's going on?
Where's Ruby?
Alas, Ruby is no more.
She left behind a few tokens of her affection.
Want a souvenir?
No, I don't think so.
So, where's Dummy?
He's out at the annex.
He says that he's turned over a new leaf.
He says that he's a changed man.
No kidding.
Who's this?
That's Will. He's...
Well, he's my...
he's just kind of shy,
you know, so I don't...
Annex?
Yeah.
You know, when Ruby was here,
she used to wear a see-through blouse,
so if you just want to keep up with it...
Okay.
What's the matter, Grandpa?
I'll see you.
Say hello to Will here.
Hey, Will.
The only thing I have is from 1992,
and it says right on this... "Not an..."
It says, "Not an invoice,"
and I'm not going to pay it, all right?
What?
You get it figured out and get back to me, all right?
Hey, Don Sullivan... thief of snowblowers,
poisoner of dogs, secret father and grandfather.
How they hanging?
By a thread, as usual.
Want to sit over here?
Just don't mess things up.
Your grandpa tell you
how he steals people's snowblowers?
You ought to feel sorry for a guy like that.
You know, he can't keep track of his toy.
That's funny how that dog hates you.
That's pitiful, isn't it?
Perfectly good Doberman, mean as hell...
ruined.
You seem full of piss and vinegar today.
I was talking to Toby.
She said you were turning over a new leaf.
