For the last time, Miss Cwley, I'm not

going to fire you. Why would you pull

yourself together? And please blow that

nose of yours. No, no, no. Not in here.

Blow it outside. Thank you, Buster. What

do you expect? She's like 200 years old.

Eddie, please. Look, if your folks could

just loan me the money $100,000,

Buster, come on. I got to think. I've

got to think. I've got to think. I've

got to come up. Maybe it's time to stop

thinking and it's time to just move on.

I mean, this theater of yours, you could

get some decent money for it. And I

don't know, maybe we could do something

together. What? Which sit around playing

video games? Yeah. Do you know what that

is? Uh, it's a bucket. Yes. And do you

know why I have this bucket? Cuz the

roof is leaking. No, that's the bucket

for the leak. I have this one cuz it

belonged to my father. Every day for 30

years, he worked his tail off washing

cars just so I could buy this place.

Every day, Eddie, just for me. Wow,

sounds like a great dad.

So, how do you want to handle this?

Oh, Mr. Moon, I got Judith from the bank

holding on line two again.

Well, there's only one thing I can do.

Okay, everybody, listen up. I got to

send you all home right now.

Yep. Cuz like my dad used to say, get a

good night's sleep and do a great day's

work.
