Now just a minute here!
Boys will be boys, God bless him.
- Finish your dinner. - Get me a hammer.
- Not until you eat. - Get me a hammer.
If you don't come and finish your dinner...
...you won't open that until tomorrow.
Are you crazy?
What's going on in here?
- What the hell is that? - Help!
You said I could have anything.
Help, please. I need air.
Schatzie, get a hammer.
- Can I have some air? - Who are you?
What are you doing in there?
Your son came along and asked them...
...to wrap me up, which they did, in a box.
This box.
I hope you have a good explanation for this.
I get to open it. It's my present.
What?
Hurry!
Please hurry.
Didn't I tell you to shave?
- Sorry. - Sir.
Sorry, sir.
- I mean, come here. - No way.
Wait a minute. Let's not be too hasty.
- I'll pay you on an hourly basis. - Sir.
All right, I'll pay you on an hourly basis, sir.
No.
What sort of a position are you looking for?
- Slave sound too crass? - I'm serious.
I am too. I'm a journalist.
I've been trying to get a job on your newspaper.
Take those firecrackers and... Never mind.
- That's not the way out. - Go get him, Daddy.
- Wait. What's your name? - Jack Brown.
I only have the boy for one week a year.
Get better lawyers. That's too long.
- I love him. - Frankly, I don't give a damn.
He's manipulative. It's a power play.
You know, if you were a little less hysterical...
- $400. - For babysitting?
Step in my office.
Isn't that a magnificent arrangement of dominoes?
It's really something.
It's rewarding. Have a seat.
I'm a man who gets what he wants by patience.
Some people exercise their tibias or fibulas...
I exercise my patience.
Patience.
No hole.
Just bite the end off. And spit it in your hand.
Eric's not a bad boy. High-spirited. I like that.
I like him.
- You'll like him. - I'm crazy about him.
That's about the only thing he does understand.
That's not an ashtray, you asshole.
That's an ashtray.
I'm insulted and I'm splitting.
All right, what do you need?
I need?
- $10,000. - Ten...
You're not a reporter. You're a crook.
You didn't ask me what I'd settle for.
That's highway robbery.
I'd settle for $400 and a job on The Bugle.
There isn't any job on the paper.
- 1500. - Deal.
- 2000. - Now, wait a minute.
We had a deal.
- Two-five. - Fine, but for that kind of money...
...if Eric blows his nose, you wipe it.
- 3000. - Two-five.
- Two-seven. - Two-five is my top.
- $3000. - I wonder if Eric knows...
...what kind of bastard he's getting.
I may be a bastard, Mr. Bates, but l...
- I'll kill you! - Two-five is fine.
Two-five is excellent.
Are you at the store?
Well, where are you? At U.S. Bates' house?
The U.S. Bates' house? Clifford, hold it down.
Not on the paper...
A toy?
He's got a son and he hired me...
- Play with me! - He's wonderful.
- Ask me how much I'm making. - Get off the phone.
- Get off the phone! - Just ask me.
- $2500 a week! - Get off the phone!
- Say goodbye! Come on! - He's a wonderful...
- Just a minute. How old are you? - Nine.
You want to live to be 10? Do you?
- Fancy. - Wait until I'm done, U.S.
- I've got to talk to you. - But I'm busy.
What I have to tell you is important!
Oh, sugar. I like it like that.
- That was fun. - Please. I have a headache.
I've got something to say.
It's about Eric.
Oh, God! Has it been a year already?
I forgot it was his week.
