My father worked as a lawyer
for the richest family in new york
until his plane went
down in long island sound.
He left me his biggest client,
the darlings-- tripp and leticia
Which of our children isn't mine?
I'll tell you, but you've got to
promise me nothing will change.
Brian, the man of god.
I lied to my wife
and daughters.
I told them that
you were an orphan.
Do you really believe
his name is gustav?
Patrick, the principled politician,
Karen, the professional divorcee.
- Nick proposed to you?
- When we were 19.
Why didn't you tell her?
Nick is my past.
You're my future, okay?
And jeremy and juliet, the
well-behaved twins.
That's your girlfriend?
She was my best friend in the
whole world, and I hate her guts.
I'm pregnant.
I think my father was working
for someone called "C.
You think simon elder
blew up your father's plane?
Nicholas George?
Yeah.
Simon Elder.
Want to go for a ride?
Yeah, sure.
So, nick,
the police contacted me,
on your behalf, in a sense.
I assume that's what
you wanted them to do
given the materials you found
in your dad's briefcase.
But you are Simon Elder,
one of the world's richest men.
I didn't think they'd actually
get you on the phone
No.
They came to my office.
Detective Larrabee, I believe.
I'd have done the same thing
if I were in your position.
No hard feelings.
So did you know my father?
Sure, listen, everybody
knew dutch.
To get anything done in
new york city, you had to.
I guess I'm asking if you knew him
better than that.
If you did some sort
of business with him? Because--
You know
I've been following your career
from a distance
for many years now.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
And I've always felt that--
that we're cut
from the same cloth, you and me.
In what way, exactly?
We're both trying to take the
advantages we've been given in life
and share them with those
who are less fortunate.
That sound like you?
Yeah, on a good day.
Sounds like me too, on a good day.
Dryton, stop the car, please.
Listen nick, I would love
to talk to you about
your dad and the darlings,
but I gotta catch a
flight right now to haiti
We're giving away 10,000 free
laptops to schoolkids down there
and installing free wireless
all over port-au-prince.
Totally your kind of thing.
So if we can do dinner,
I know this great little russian
restaurant in brooklyn.
If this sounds interesting to
you, have your secretary set it up.
No pressure.
Okay.
A church ceremony is out.
But, brian, you promised
me you would at least try.
I did.
But for some reason,
the bishop felt that using the chapel
for your fourth marriage
would just be a little bit insulting
to the rest of the marrying public.
Okay, fine.
We'll have the ceremony here.
So are we done?
'Cause I have to get home to
my wife and kids for dinner.
Oh, and that cute
little orphan boy, too.
Yeah, oh, baby, I been thinking
about my bachelor party,
maybe taking the plane
to cuba with the guys.
You in?
- Yeah, I'm in.
- Really?
My minister brother is gonna
go to a bachelor party?
Really?
No, not really.
Sweetie, I don't think daddy wants you
to take the plane again.
Jet fuel doesn't grow on trees.
Karen, you just took the plane to
los angeles last week for sushi.
Right.
It's just, I think
daddy doesn't want
some people to take the
plane again this month.
But baby, gotta have a bachelor party.
It's tradition.
You know what, sweetie?
I'm gonna take care of this.
Well, today's bible
children's story is
There it is.
"Kindness.
"
No, that's not
the reading for tonight.
- It is.
It says so right here.
- No.
See, that's for tomorrow night.
Well, mommy's been reading ahead.
Read tonight's, brian, otherwise
everything gets off.
Okay, I'll read tonight's.
"Honesty.
"
"Of all the sins
that hurt god's feelings,"
"lying is the worst of all.
"
"In big ways and small ways,"
"lying eats away
at the heart god gave us "
"and leaves us empty and sad.
"
"If we're going to be happy
and go to heaven,
we have to tell the truth.
Well, I don't think we have
to tell the truth all the time.
I think there are importt exceptions.
But-- I these
are good thoughts.
These are definitely good thoughts.
So you think simon's lying?
He said he didn't know my dad
very well, but I think he did.
I think he was "C.
From your dad's planner, all
those mystery appointments?
Yeah.
What makes you think so?
His license plate.
It's just the letter "C.
Seemed kind of like a fit.
Why would he withhold that from you?
I don't know, but I'm
gonna try and find out.
I'm having dinner with
him later this week.
You're welcome.
What happened to that
painting above the fireplace?
It was on loan from
the gallery, and it sold.
You gonna replace it?
I thought I'd take a walk
through chelsea tomorrow.
- See if anything leaps out at me.
- All right, go for it.
Sounds more fun than what
I'll be doing tomorrow.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Lisa, it's just another day of me
implementing my immense knowledge
of american jurisprudence instead
of doing my charitable work.
Meaning?
I'm settling a dispute
between the twins about
who can and can't come to
their 25th birthday party.
- Natalie kimpton.
- Natalie kimpton.
She's not coming to our party.
Have you even read the
bill of rights lately?
The first amendment clearly
states free assembly.
That means I get to invite
whoever I want, right?
She betrayed me and
stole my twin brother.
Look, juliet, your birthday party
is the premier event of the season.
I am aware of that.
And there are already over
You may not even see her.
But she'll be there, like a bomb,
a stink bomb waiting to go off.
I'm getting kinda seriously,
radically fed up
- with your crap about this.
- Well, get in line.
It's my party.
Natalie's coming.
Fine, then I'll have my own party.
Fine, I'll have my own party, too.
I get the house.
You take it.
You take the house.
I'll find someplace cooler,
and no one will come to your party.
no one will come to your party.
You know what? This could work out.
I'll split the million-dollar budget--
Are you crazy?
We can't split the money.
I can't throw a party for 500 grand.
Neither can I,
at least not a good one nick.
- It's economies of scale.
- Do you even know what that means?
No, but you know what I think
I mean, and that's what matters.
We need $2 million.
$2 million?
My god.
For parties.
It's their 25th birthday.
Binge drinking,
reckless endangerment.
They're just kids having fun.
Those kids are about to inherit
$25 million apiece,
and they know it.
I mean, call me crazy,
but that makes me expect a
little restraint on their part.
$25 million?
It's from my father.
It's a trust.
It's to give them a start in life.
It's their first checkbook.
Patrick bought a summer
house up in maine.
Karen invested hers.
I mean, smart kids.
Brian traveled the
world for three years.
But these two
What can I say?
They are different.
So
What do you want me to do?
What is your opinion?
Well, I think that $2 million is an
awful lot to spend on birthday parties.
Exactly.
That said
it's your call.
Honestly, nick, these aren't the
sorts of decisions that tripp
and I are accustomed to making together.
This was
Well, this was always dutch's purview.
He knew when to let kids run wild.
He he let life be life.
That is foolishness.
But, you know do what you want.
Okay.
I'll take care of it.
And nicky, nicky.
We're always here.
We're always happy to help.
You haven't told nick anything,
have you?
About what?
About the D.
N.
A.
Report?
No.
Are you planning to?
I have no intention of so doing.
Come in.
What's the matter?
I need to tell you something.
Well, whatever it is, you can tell me.
I don't want to go to hell.
I don't think there are
very many children in hell, gustav.
Yeah, about that
my name's not gustav.
No?
What is it?
Brian.
Brian jr.
Is my husband
your daddy?
$25 million.
That's $5 million for the wedding.
We'll have it on capri.
Oh, I love capri.
The blue grotto.
And $5 million for the honeymoon,
which will be, like, a year
of us just bumming around.
We'll go surfing with kelly in
tahiti, follow the tour for a while.
Can we go rio?
And that leaves
$15 million for you
me
and little baby-gee.
So have you decided where you're
gonna have your birthday party yet?
I have.
And I friggin'guarantee
that if I can swing it, no one,
and I mean no one
is gonna show up to juliet's
french farce at home.
- Hey.
- What?
I can't hurt the baby, can I?
When we do it?
Well,
I mean, you are quite a man, jeremy.
You're quite formidable.
But I think the baby's gonna be fine.
Just, uh
just making sure.
It would just mean the world to freddy
if he could have his bachelor party
at tehnbrook like you did but
he can't unless he's a member.
Karen, the tehnbrook is the most
prestigious club in the city.
And we're the darlings.
Is freddy planning on changing his
name to darling?I hadn't heard.
Pat, please just make it happen.
Where has that nicolai gotten to?
He is driving you today, correct?
- Where is that little dickens?
- Oh, my god.
You don't think freddy's
good enough, do you?
Good enough for what?Nicolai!
You don't think he's good enough
to be a member of your precious club.
Well, to be honest, freddy isn't
exactly the average member.
Never thought you had much of
a taste for the average member.
Oh, what does that mean?
Your special friend.
The one with the low
voice and the eyeliner?
What are
you talking about?
Don't worry, pat.
I would never tell.
Give ellen my best.
Yeah.
Hello.
Is nick available, please?
He's with jeremy.
What is he doing,
planning his *** party?
Where is he having it?
I really don't know.
I'm sorry.
You can go in if you want.
No, thank you.
I'll just wait there.
Okay.
Six open bars, dim sum,
steaks, a pinkberry station
nats loves the stuff--
and a band and a deejay.
Well, that sounds very reasonable.
I applaud your restraint.
What can I say?
Love changes a man.
It
brings him down to earth.
You must have gone through a
similar ing when you guys had kiki.
Kiki?
Yeah, I'm sure you had to
re in the strippers
and the blow when that little bag
of baby candy was coming
in from heaven.
You know, jeremy, are you and natalie
already talking about
starting a family?
We're talking about what
to name the munchkin, dude.
She's pregnant?
Don't you tell dad.
I don't want him paying her
off like he always does.
I like this one.
Jeremy, are you sure you're ready?
Having a kid's a huge responsibity.
I know it's gonna be a lot of work.
But I'm ready to--
I'm ready to change.
I'm ready to be sensible.
Okay.
And I want to have my party
on the brooklyn bridge.
yeah.
No, seriously.
It was crazy.
I know that.
I'm sorry.
Who's the mother?
Her name is Andrea Smithson.
How did you meet?
She came tsee me one day for counseling.
Who made the first move?
- What, are you trying to punish me?
- Who made the first move?
I did.
And when did it end?
Or has it?
I stopped seeing her,
like, over three years ago.
And why is your son suddenly here?
Because she wants him to be a darling.
And you made the boy lie.
I didn't want to hurt you.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I'm sorry.
Please just give me
another chance.
Please.
You made your choices.
Now I'm making mine.
I want a divorce.
- The brooklyn bridge?
- Yeah.
Made some calls to the mayor's office.
I got hung up on twice.
Why does jeremy do this?
Do what?
Concoct impossibilities.
I wish
just once, that he would come to me
and suggest something concrete,
simple, small
achievable.
Well, until that day comes,
I did some asking around,
and we're talking at least a million
just to close down the bridge, tripp.
Lordy zaffy.
Add to that another million
for the party itself
and the 1.
6 juliet's already spent
it's starting to look
financially pornographic.
It also doesn't bode
well for their future,
given the challenges
they'll face soon as adults.
You think we should
shut 'em down, huh?
Actually, yeah, I do.
No.
Let 'em run.
Why, if I may ask?
I don't thk they're ready
for this new life yet.
What, the $25 million, the trust?
Yeah, I want you to draw up a document
that delays the vesting
of the trust for five years.
You let them hang themselves
with these birthday parties
to prove your point.
What would you suggest?
I'd sit down with them, talk through
their spending on these parties.
I'd get them to see
how they could be more responsible,
how they could spend say,
you know,$500,000 and
still have a good time.
I'd teach them.
Won't work, nick.
It's too late.
Let them have their fun tomorrow night.
And then when the smoke clears
they'll have time to reflect
upon their choices and
yeah, reflect.
Regret.
You don't like it.
Well, lisa, it's a painting of two ants.
It's more than two ants.
Is the third one invisible?
That's funny.
The surrealists used swarms of ants to
represent consumption,
and here, the artist, robert russell
who is very popular right now,
depicts these two as individuals.
They're the redemption of the species.
Well, at $6,000 an ant,
they better be.
You said go for it.
I just didn't know this is
what you were gonna go for.
You want me to take it back?
I'll take it back.
No, of course not.
I mean, if juliet darling can spend
$1 million on this birthday,
You're equating me with juliet darling?
- No, I'm not.
- You know what?That's not okay.
I'm just saying it's a
lot of money for two ants.
It's just infuriating.
She finds these guys.
I don't know where
she scrapes them off
the bottom of her shoe.
That's enough talk like
that about your sister.
I just wish karen would
walk in with someone that
I could learn from, someone that
I would feellucky to get to know.
I share everyone's awareness,
stated and unstated,
that karen has a tendency
to marry low,
but I humbly submit that the
effort required to make a space
for freddy at the club
would be well worth it.
Everyone has their foibles.
I wonder if that's why she
wants to have lunch today.
Excuse me.
What did you say?
Well, she called yesterday, asked if
I wanted to have lunch at pastis.
I hope this isn't what it's about.
That would be so uncomfortable.
Pastis.
So not only ise dumb enough
to fall in love with natalie,
but then he goes
and gets her pregnant.
Oh, excuse me.
Is that really the way they
did women's toenails in 1789?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Perfect.
Wait, astrid.
Slow down.
I
What?
Are you sure?
But why would she need a
*** if she was pregnant?
What are you so afraid of?
I'm not afraid of anything.
I just don't want you
to hurt ellen's feelings
by sharing information that would
hurt her feelings, that's all.
You sound confused.
Honey, I'm just going to lunch
with my favorite sister-in-law.
The idea that I would ever
want to hurt ellen's feelings
I mean, what would that get me?
Really, what?
You screw up my marriage, and
you screw up my campaign.
You screw up my campaign, and
you'll have dad to deal with.
If you don't get freddy into the
club, you'll have dad to deal with.
As far as your campaign goes,
I like new york the way it is.
Okay.
Karen, okay.
I'm gonna try to get
freddy into the club, okay?
I can't promise anything.
Can't you?
Can't you promise?
Guess what.
- We've got the brooklyn bridge?
- We got the brooklyn bridge.
And Simon Elder's office called.
You are confirmed for dinner tonight.
That's good to know.
Brian darling's here to see you.
You're gonna be hearing from
mei ling hwa's attorney.
She's filing for divorce.
- She found out about brian jr?
- Yes.
How'd that happen?
God's holy word.
I'm sorry.
I want you to be
ruthless with her lawyers.
I want you to make it clear
that she is not gonna get anything
more than she was promised in
the prenup, not an extra cent.
I want you to make sure that they know
that I am gonna fight for the children
and when, and I wantyou to make sure
that she knows that I
am going to crush her!
Okay, note to
self-- "crush her.
" I made a mess of everything.
What the hell is gonna happen to me?
Brian.
Brian, everything is going to be okay.
Every marriage has its rough edges.
Oh, what do you know, mr.
Perfect?
Hey, brian, do me a favor.
Don't insult me when
you're asking for my help.
Look, here's what're gonna do.
We're gonna wait,
and we're gonna see what mei ling hwa
and her attorneys do.
I want you to go over there and I want
you to ask for another chance.
- She won't give me one.
- Probably not,
but you obviously care too much
to just walk away
and strike a bunch of angry poses.
And you have children with her.
I know.
I miss them already.
I feel like a part of me is missing.
Then go over there and
ask for another chance.
Okay?
Yeah, okay.
I'M sorry I called you mr.
Perfect.
It's okay.
You are kind of insufferable,
though, with your happiness.
okay, I'll go talk to her.
Good luck.
Hey, juliet.
What's up?
We need to talk.
Look, the refrigerated
trucks are gonna be there
with the chocolate
aristocrats on time.
This is not about the
chocolate aristocrats.
It's about my brother.
Jeremy, we need to talk.
Nice work on the bridge, dude.
Man, I knew you'd come through.
See, this party is gonna be so sweet.
I'm gonna have my peeps,
my baby mama.
Jeremy, sit down for a second.
What?
No pinkberry.
You gotta get her pinkberry.
She loves it.
No, no, no, no.
This is about natalie.
I don't think she's pregnant.
What are you talking about?
Has she given you any proof?
I don't need proof.
Where is this coming from-- jules?
Yeah.
She said that
astrid said that she gave natalie
tampons last week at twinkle.
Natalie would never go to twinkle.
Jeremy, are you listening to me?
Natalie's using tampons.
She's not pregnant.
Nick, juliet is lying.
She's lying to hurt me,
to get back at nats.
Jeremy, I know that natalie and
juliet have their differences,
but I also know that
your sister loves you.
- She loves herself.
- She loves you, too.
And I don't think she'd make
something like this up.
I don't.
Just ask her to take a pregnancy test.
No.
No, I hate tests.
I'm not gonna
test her.
It's lame.
- Okay.
- Okay.
I'll just
I'll just ask her to her face.
And her answer will be good enough.
All right.
hey, lisa, where did the painting go?
You made me feel guilty,
so I took it back.
- I didn't tell you to take it back.
- Not in so many words, no.
Well, go back and get it.
I want you to have it
You can't make me feel bad
about buying a painting
And pretend like you wanted me
to have it.
That is so controlling.
I have to go have
dinner with Simon Elder.
- Be careful, nick.
- I will.
- Good night.
- Good night, dad.
Did you really return it?
Yep, and it's okay.
- Happy birthday.
- Oh, bridget, thank you.
Look at these presents.
- Look at these cakes.
- Oh, my god.
Happy birthday!
Oh, my god.
Look who's here.
Ryan casdale.
I personally invited him myself.
Ladies.
Looking particularly
lovely this evening
your majesty.
Thank you.
Oh, my god.
If I tell you something, do you
promise not to tell a single soul?
- Sworn to secrecy.
- What?
Tonight, ryan is my gift to myself.
Tonight's the night.
You're gonna do it with ryan?
No!
I'm gonna kiss him
Which is just as important
and equally dangerous.
Sorry, excuse me.
Come on.
I'm not really in the mood.
Oh, what's the matter, germs?
You've been lame all night.
Maybe I need a drink.
Maybe you need two.
This was all over my dad's
planner-- the letter "c"--
meetings arod the country,
sometimes around the world.
Is that you?
Are you "c"?
Yeah, that's me.
So was he working for you
in any capacity-- my dad?
What was going on?
We were friends, nicK.
We wercreative conversation partners.
He gave me a lot of wise
counsel-- your father.
About what?
About being crazy
rich, among other things.
See, I was raised
in russia with nothing.
And nothing in russia is a lot
less than nothing in america.
A year after coming here to the
states, I made my first $100 million,
and that nearly destroyed me.
See, when starving people gorge
themselves, they usually die, yeah?
I almost did.
What saved you?
A spiritual experience.
It involved your dad, actually.
Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime.
But for now, no, for
now let's talk about you.
I want to make this work,
with brian jr.
And the girls and you.
That's my family
our family.
For seven years, you lied to me
while I shared every detail
of my life with you.
I shared myself.
I'm sorry.
I felt trapped.
I love you so much.
And once I'd made the mistake,
I was just too scared
to tell you the truth.
I don't want to hurt you.
You can resent me
and you can ignore me,
you could throw things at me
if you want, but I
I just-- I want
another chance.
I need one.
I want you and that boy out of this
house until I figure out what to do.
Thank you.
It must kind of rock, having your
own party for the first time,
not having to share it with
your ***-magnet brother.
Yeah, it rocks.
In fact, I haven't even thought of
him till you mentioned him just now.
oh, my god.
That ***.
Thanks for being a friend.
Happy birthday, baby.
Juliet, wait up.
- What's the matter?
- Everything.
Everything in the entire
little lonely lying world.
- Where are you going?
- I'm gonna find my brother.
Come on.
Everyone is here for you.
Let them eat cake.
So are you pregnant or not?
Just answer the question.
The question doesn't even make sense.
Juliet said you bummed two tampons
off astrid last week at twinkle.
Please.
I would never go to twinkle.
Natalie
just tell me to my face
that you're pregnant.
Come on.
Look me in the eye.
I thought I was.
and then I wasn't, I just kept
not telling you.
I'm sorry.
just stay away from me.
So all those darling millions
you have for charity
how's that going?
I haven't had the chance to
put together an infrastructure.
I don't want to be the guy
who just writes the checks.
I want to be involved, and
I haven't had the time
to make a start.
The darlings are
keeping you too busy, huh?
That they are.
Your father.
the last time we talked, said that
when he looked back on his life,
he realized that the world of money
that the darlings gave him access to
made him lose track himself,
lose track of his life.
And he lost your mom
and then you
in the whole bargain.
He said this to you?
Word for word.
He hated the fact that you two
had such a ruined relationship.
What did my father do for you?
Tell me.
I know you haven't told
me the whole truth.
So just tell me.
Well, all he really did, all he had
the chance to do in the end was
agree with me about
the nature of privilege
and the call to social responsibility.
He was just about to turn the corner.
He was gonna stop working
for tripp darling
and come work for me.
Then his plane fell out of the sky.
You think tripp killed my dad?
I think you need to start
giving that $10 million away.
And if you can't find the time to do it,
then you should come work for me.
Finish what your father started.
There are lots of ways
to lose your life, nick
all at ones or one day at a time.
Listen up, everybody!
jeremy!
Thank you all for coming tonight.
Jeremy!
I have something to say to everyone.
Some of you came here tonight
for the free ***, right?
Right some of you came
hoping that you might hook up.
and maybe some of you came
'cause you actually like me.
I like you.
I like you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You see, uh
see, that's the problem with having
all this money
and, uh, and spending it like this on
Jeremy!
On things like this.
jeremy.
You never know!
no, no.
All right, hit it, pillowhead.
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin'love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
all by myself anymore
oh, here come the peace officers.
Well, I had them dust, and,
well, change the sheets,
but other than that, it's
exactly the way you left it.
Who was the second bunk for?
Oh, that was so your father
could have friends sleep over.
That really worked out.
You know, there are other
rooms that you could stay in.
Why don't we open up
the sixth floor?
No.
If mei ling hwa
ever comes to visit,
she'll want to make sure I've really
suffered, and this'll do just fine.
You know, it's an odd feeling,
having all the children back in
the building, under the same roof.
We're a regular "little house.
" In a way, it's as if we're all
getting another chance.
It's like backgammon, brian.
You live your entire life,
and then when you least expect it,
you're suddenly thrown all
the way back to the beginning.
But that's not the end of the game.
I'm very happy you're here, pumpkin.
See you both in the
morning for breakfast.
Okay.
Sorry I got you in trouble.
You didn't get me in trouble.
You did the right thing.
Nice room.
Thanks.
We sent you to the finest schools.
Provided you with
every conceivable advantage,
and this is how you thank us,
with a $2-million
brooklyn bridge bacchanal,
Where you, the host,
the guest of honor
the birthday boy had to be
forcibly removed by the police.
I screwed up.
It's what I do.
I had to get nick out of a business
dinner to deal with this nonsense.
I was just finishing up, actually.
Well, that's not the point.
He has done nothing with his life since
he left college except disappoint me.
I know.
I'm the worst thing that's
ever happened to you, dad.
I know.
Instead of choosing to learn
instead of working hard at
a job to achieve something,
all you've done is seek out
celebrities to what,
to borrow an ounce
or two of their glory?
"Justin timberlake"?
"Ethan hawke"?
Who are these people?
All right, you know,
are we done here?
Because, your loser son,
he's feeling a little tired.
He'd like to get some rest.
Oh, far be it from me to
waste your precious time.
You know, we should not just
delay the payout of that trust.
We should terminate the damn thing.
You're delaying my trust?
No, I'm revoking it entirely.
- Let's not be hasty.
- You know what?I don't care.
You go ahead.
You go ahead and
you postpone it.
You give it away.
I don't friggin'care as long as
I get out from under you.
I wish that I could be
someone you loved, dad.
I wish that, but I can't.
I can't.
I can just be me.
Know that's not good enough for you.
I'm sorry.
I suppose you think this is my fault.
That if I had just
sat down with him
I am a bit puzzled,
i have to admit,
how you can yell at him
for being irresponsible
when you refuse to be
responsible with him.
This is between jeremy and me.
No, it's not.
because I'm here to
tell you what's wrong.
It's wrong what you're
doing to him, tripp.
You're trying to scare him
into being who you want him to be.
Is that what money for,
to scare people,
to control people
you're losing jeremy, tripp.
You're losing him one day at a time.
You could wake up one
morning and find him gone.
I'll see you tomorrow.
You and natalie together was like
drinking orange juice
after brushing your teeth.
Yeah, and she's the orange juice.
Can you imagine her mothering a child?
What an unbearable thought.
What should I do about dad?
You should just apologize.
He'll understand.
That's easy for you to say.
He's giving you your $25 million.
No, he's not.
I told him I could wait five years.
I threw a party for $1 million last
night, and I had the worst time ever.
I can wait.
You ever think things would be better
if we weren't so incredibly loaded?
You mean you wish we were poor?
Not starving with flies on our faces,
just a little more normal.
Well, I think you can be as
normal as you want to be.
But I think you're pretty spectacular.
And you're gonna do spectacular things.
What time is it?
It's 9:00.
I let you sleep in.
I got up early, made kiki some
breakfast, then I went to a gallery.
What gallery's open this early?
I made some special arrangements.
I know the darlings.
Yeah, them.
I remember.
I wanted to surprise you
and get your painting back,
but somebody else bought it already.
And I want to apologize for
being controlling and superior--
Juvenile, obnoxious, a ***?
I think the word is cheap.
I realized last night during
my dinner with simon elder
that I'm the one I'm mad at about
spending the money, not you.
I told you, I told myself
when I started this job
that I took it to help people,
and I haven't done that.
There are hungry people,
sick people right here in this city,
I'm just frustrated.
There's stuff to be done
in the real, troubled world,
and I'm out organizing
birthday parties
and photo shoots
and all sorts of crazy
I'm the one i'm mad at, not you.
That's what I came here to say.
Apology accepted.
All right, rise and shine.
I got something to show you.
how much were they?
Oh, who cares? You liked 'em,
and I love you.
Oh, I love you, too.
Thank you.
That is swedish,
for you speak english.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Don't worry.
He won't eat you.
Hey, how about a smile, little guy?
Come on.
You can smile.
You're the luckiest orphan
in the world, you know?
What?
Oh, is orphan not P.
C.
Anymore?
What should I say instead?
He's not an orphan.
Your brother brian is his father.
Really?
Sorry.
Freddy, remember, these men
aren't gods.
They're just men.
That being said, make me proud.
Right over here.
Well, look who it is.
The estimable candidate.
Gentlemen, my future brother-in-law
freddy mason.
Freddy mason, holy cow.
I was at firestone in 2005 when you
holed that chip shot on the 18th.
Your short game's a vision.
Well, thank you very much.
You should put this titan
up for membership, paddy.
I plan to do just that.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry for
saying those things
last night, and, um
for getting a little O.
O.
C.
O.
O.
C.
?
Out of control.
Yeah, well
I don't want you to
think I'm here apologizing'
cause I want the trust
back,'cause I don't.
So what is it you want, a rocket?
the hubble telescope?
I want a job.
A job?
I been thinking lately, and
I should get a job, right?
Young man
You have just made me
truly proud.
So how can this money help you?
Well,it cost $9,000
to install a playground
So that kids have somewhere to go.
And we did a study of
inner-city schools that shows
these playgrounds cut down
kids'E.
R.
Visits by 65%.
Now we understand how many
people must apply to your fund
but because of the work
you've done in the past,
we thought that--
here you go.
$200,000?
We were afraid to ask for $20,000.
Excuse me, nick, tripp
darling for you on line one.
Tell him I'll call him back.
What?
I said I'll call him back.
Thank you so much.
You have no idea
how much this money
can change our organization.
Actually, I do.
But I'm giving it to you anyway.
