Original subtitles

My name is Neil Truman, and I have what every man in America wants.

An 80 -inch 3D TV.

I watch Sports Center on it.

The occasional fishing show if I see one.

And sometimes, when my wife is getting dressed, I'll sneak in, find one of

softcore movies you can get on cable 24 hours a day.

Not that grace doesn't satisfy me, even after 18 years of marriage.

But with two busy schedules and all the stress of raising a family, we can never

find the time to connect.

My daughter doesn't seem to mind.

But at 16, I know these are the years she needs her dad the most.

I do all I can to be there for her, but I'm almost never home.

Because I'm here.

Bastion National Investments.

70 hours a week sometimes.

It's like twice that when you're missing your daughter grow up.

Still, I know I'm a very lucky guy, but when picking out what color tie becomes

the most exciting part of your day... The yellow one, honey, brings out the

more.

Something's not right.

And I need to start figuring out what the hell is wrong with me.

I know why you're such a punk.

Midlife crisis.

That feels bigger, more universal.

You realize that 75 % of the world is covered in water, and we are running out

of fish.

Yeah, fish.

I'm not going to think they eat them anymore anyway.

Then you've got rainforests burning, ice caps are melting, even your polar bears

are drowning. What's the point of busting your ass every day, paying the

mortgage, when it feels like the world is coming to an end? You need to chill

out, man.

2012 is over.

Mr. Thomas is wrong.

I know.

What's it all mean?

You know, I wasn't raised with religion.

But I wanted to check it out for myself, you know, get like a different

perspective. And I wanted to go outside the box.

Did you know that the Buddha was actually a prince before he became his

enlightened self?

Yeah. He had a wife, a kid, three palaces.

And then one day he just gave it all up.

Left his family to travel the world in search of meaning.

You know, like personal fulfillment.

You need to change, my friend.

Lexapro.

You want to see my doctor? He'll fix you right up.

It's better than drinking three martinis every night.

Now I don't worry about any of that crap.

I think the problem is I need to feel more right now.

No less.

Knuckleball.

What do you think?

That had some good movement on it, right?

What are you looking at?

That stock tips for dummy I help you with something dude. I'm just trying to

friendly Big guys call the meeting we're all waiting on you

All right, we got a lot to cover this

morning Truman where are you?

Ah just saw your quarterlies Outstanding again

And this time, I'm not the only one who noticed. We're all familiar with Updike

Pharmaceuticals, aren't we, gents? They're trying to get FDA approved on

new diet pill, right? Not after a few people just died in clinical studies.

Their stock just tanked. Which is great for us.

They just fired their current brokerage firm.

Shopping around now, trying to find somebody to plug in the holes of their

sinking ship. I told them we had just the man for the job.

Tomorrow, I want you to go to New York.

This is going to be a lot of money for us, gentlemen.

What do you say, Truman?

Can you close the deal?

Don't just stand there with your dick in your hand, Truman. Say something.

I don't know what to say, because I hate this job.

None of what I do really matters.

I don't even get to see what I'm trading on a daily basis.

It's just numbers on a screen. It's not real.

We don't contribute anything to the world in any meaningful way.

We just hoard money.

I always thought you were an asshole for making that a virtue.

You son of a bitch.

We could all learn a thing or two from this guy.

Sell ice to an Eskimo.

You almost had me going there, Truman.

All right.

Next order of business.

That's beautiful.

It's still a little rough.

What's it about?

You'll see tomorrow night.

You forgot about the talent show, didn't you?

Sweetie, there's something that I have to do for work now. You don't need to

explain it to me if it's not a new excuse.

Honey.

No, not by now.

No way, Frank. I can't get it done by then.

Fine, I'll make some calls and see what I can do, but only because I love you.

How was your day?

I tried to quit my job.

Tell me about it. Frank's got a house he wants to show this weekend. He wants me

to have it staged by tomorrow.

Can you believe that?

Tomorrow? I should have told him to go to hell.

You're home early.

I have to go to New York in the morning.

What's in New York? Victor wants me to sign a new client.

Victor wants you to sign a new client?

Wow, that's great, honey. That's really good news.

Right?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I was just looking forward to spending some time with the family this

weekend. Oh, Monica has her talent show.

Oh, stay here. I got you something.

It's hard.

I know it's almost the same, but I love the color you had on this morning. It

made you look sexy.

And now you can wear it to New York.

Thanks.

I think I'm going to go take a swim.

Yeah.

It's freezing outside.

What?

What?

We need a vacation.

On a beach somewhere.

Far away.

I think we need to fire the pool guy.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can now begin general boarding. Silver Sky here.

427.

Flight 427. Man, I was late. Not even sorry for the delay.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're ready to push back just as soon as everyone gets

seated. If there's no place in the overhead compartment, place your carry

under the seat in front of you.

We have a full flight today.

I need every passenger seated as quickly as possible. Excuse me, ma 'am. Would

it be possible maybe to get a wire? No.

Did you have a... No.

Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like the initial delay has kept us here at the

gate. Might be an hour or so before we can push back.

Very sorry.

We're sorry there's only one working restroom at this time.

We're doing everything we can to remedy this.

Just stand there with your dick in your hand, Truman. Say something. Say

something. Say something. Say something. Say something.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

It's really hot in here. I'm so sorry you're uncomfortable.

Big guy's called a meeting.

We're all waiting on you. We're all waiting on you. Knuckleball.

Ma 'am, we're really thirsty.

Now you're harassing me.

It's been nearly five hours.

You need to change, my friend.

Ladies and gentlemen, we need you to stay seated.

I promise we're doing all that we can to make you more comfortable as we

experience this delay.

That was it.

That one simple moment.

Everything that had been bottled up inside me.

Fear. The frustration.

The uncertainty.

Just... melted away, and I was overcome with this sudden sense of clarity,

courage.

That's when I decided I would not be quiet anymore.

Do what was expected of me.

Surrender to some pathetic middle -aged anxiety.

And I realized that I was the one who built this prison that I was in.

I was going to take back control of my life and set myself free.

Have you ever had that kind of experience?

No.

And as your lawyer, Mr. Truman, I'd like for you to forget that you ever said

that.

Look, four years ago, you'd be grabbing your ankles at county right now,

probably not even have a hearing until Christmas.

But since they passed that passenger bill of rights, you've wedged your way

this little loophole that's going to save your ass.

Not to mention everybody on board's coming to your defense.

What does it say on the flight attendant attacked you? No, no, no. She didn't

attack me. Okay, you let me handle that. Right now, there's 200 people who are

backing you up so I can keep my mouth shut.

Hearing will be scheduled later. Now, let's get out of here before anyone

changes their mind.

A no -fly list?

Well, I'm not surprised.

Show them that thing.

That thing you showed me.

What do you think the guys in Updike are going to say when they see this? Huh?

Hell, any of our clients.

It is embarrassing.

They kept us waiting five hours.

Our lawyers advised us to put out a statement.

You were off your medication, diabetic dementia, some shit like that.

You're going to sign this.

And then you're going to offer a public apology on behalf of this firm. And then

you're going to take a leave of absence and agree not to speak to the press.

And then you're going to get on your knees and thank me for not firing you

now. I'm not signing that. Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in? I

offering you a gift here, pal. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was a

gift. May I?

Whoops. Guess I'm in real trouble now. But just to make sure that I close the

deal.

What the?

Now that had some movement on it.

Hey, Frank, is Grace there? She's not answering her cell.

Oh, yes. No, she told me about that house last night. Yeah. Can you text me

address?

Thanks.

18 years. We met in college.

And we have a 16 -year -old daughter, and she's starting to look at colleges

now. And it's just crazy how fast the time goes.

I meant tell me why I should hire you.

Right. Of course.

Because I'm an amazing designer with a sense of humor.

What's your website?

So I can see some of your work. I brought this instead, if that's okay.

Old school?

This layout is part of a project that got me a Fulbright scholarship to study

Florence.

Really? Tell me about that.

Well, funny story, actually. I never did take the scholarship.

I'd just gotten pregnant when we found out, and just things got put on hold. So

you don't have any real experience since college?

Well, I do stage open houses now.

It's just part -time, but it's kept my eyes sharp. Mrs. Truman, you clearly

talent, but that's not the only thing I consider when I look to bring someone

onto the team.

I have desires that come to me from all over the world.

My mother was French.

I need people with real life experience.

And frankly, it sounds like you've had a pretty normal life.

Grace, you've had an amazing life. No, you know what I realized? I've had mom's

life. Ew. I just, I had this whole other life I was planning on living. You

know, I considered myself an artist once, and then I just turned into Neil's

wife. How are things with Neil anyway?

Fine. They're always fine.

Three times a week, fine.

All right, well, at least once a week?

Once a month? You know what? You're not married.

Sex just doesn't become that important after a certain point.

All right!

Who's ready to pump out a 20 -mile race?

Totally running late. Let's go.

Your father's driving you tonight. I have book club.

Dad is in his first field right now. He said you have to.

Neil, I have my book club tonight. You have to take Annika to Jenny's. I have a

huge presentation due tomorrow now. I can't.

This is the one night a month with my friends.

Okay, if I don't get all this work done by tomorrow morning, we could lose the

account. It's always life or death.

Do you really think this is how I want to spend my evening?

Somebody has to take me.

Hi. Hi. You're going to be so proud.

All right, I'll take her.

Hi, Neil.

Hey, ladies.

All right, I'll take her. Then I'll have to go into work. I'll probably have to

sleep there.

At least I'll be out of your hair.

Great.

Well, I'll be back.

Don't worry too much.

I thought the author was trying to say that we should just move past our fears

and let go of our childhood.

Are you just reading that from the internet?

Uh -oh.

No must be, no.

Grace, I know I'm going to need a little bit more before we discuss those last

few chapters.

What are we doing here, huh?

This is our one night a month, and can we just go out, hmm?

Create some of our own adventures.

Just talk about those stories. Come on, get some life experience.

I think if we just open up another bottle of wine and... I'm driving. Let's

I didn't catch it, but Neil's sleeping at the office tonight.

Is everything okay?

I wouldn't read into it. He lives at the office.

Oh, no. Look at her.

I just wanted some ecstasy.

I'm Simon.

What are you doing here tonight, Grace?

Um, kind of a long story, but, um... Hey.

Oh, I go to the bathroom and you start picking up other women?

I'm sorry.

What are you still doing? Hey! Okay.

No, no, no.

All right, all right.

Listen, you know, we don't have to press charges. Neither does she.

I've never been in a bar fight before.

And, you know, in college, I studied so much, I never went out to clubs.

I was kind of a geek.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, look, evidently you dropped this during your bar fight.

The gentleman over there wants to make sure you get that back.

Okay? Grace, are you all right? Grace, Grace, hey, Grace.

Hey, what the hell? Are you okay?

Are you the husband? Yes, yes, I am. What happened?

I'll let her tell you.

Okay, you never... Guys, guys, can you guys take Grace's car home? I'll have

drive with me.

You never would have believed this. I got into a bar fight.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I just, we wanted to have some fun.

Honey, how much have you had to drink?

What?

I could have another, and we could fool around when we get home.

What is wrong with you? Nothing, nothing.

I just... I just, I feel like myself.

You know what, let's just get in the car. No!

Damn it!

Do you realize this is the first time we've seen each other outside the house

like six months?

Just let's go out to eat, huh?

Why don't we just grab a coffee and just take me out on a date,

huh?

I think where I need to take you right now is home.

Where I belong?

Just grace.

I've been trying to do it right I've been living a lonely life I've been

sleeping here all day I've been sleeping in my bed I've been sleeping in

my bed

Woo.

Woo.

What are you doing, man?

I don't know what your problem is, buddy, but you...

Grace's husband?

Shit.

You were at the house just now?

Solved. Solved.

Does Grace know you were there?

All right.

Listen to me. You can't go back there, okay? And you can't go to your house

either. You need to wait 24 hours, especially if you have kids. I mean...

You don't want to do anything you're going to regret.

Not a light for that today.

You're just a kid.

What's your name?

How'd she meet you?

Yeah, it's a professional arrangement, okay?

Your wife pays me.

What, for sex?

Hey, hey, if it helps, she told me that she was happily married.

And I know the ones that aren't.

My wife is just being a hooker. Escort is more the industry term.

I can't believe it.

You know what? You wouldn't believe how common it is, actually.

With the economy these days, you've got husbands working longer hours and wives

are at home. No companionship. Then you've got the women who've had to

the workforce. So you actually do this for a living?

I started doing it for fun, but yes, it makes a good living.

Look, if you love her, I wouldn't throw it all away just yet.

I mean, marriage is about a lot more than just sex.

Are you married?

How would you know?

No.

I've slept with a lot more married women than you ever will, though, so...

Believe me.

When everything's said and done, you don't want to throw this all away over a

few orgasms, right?

Do you have somebody you can call? I mean, there's... Hey.

All right, I get it. All right, all right.

It's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face.

It's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place.

And when I sleep on your couch, I feel very safe.

Bye.

Jugglers, you're on in three.

Hello? Hey, sweetie.

I'm about to go on. You'll have to call me back. Wait.

I'm outside.

In the parking lot.

Dad, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be in New York.

It's your big debut.

I wouldn't miss that.

I was wondering if I could watch it from backstage.

You know, just me.

Mom!

Hey.

I thought you were in New York. No, it's canceled.

Annika! You're almost on.

Oh, my God.

You okay?

Yeah. No.

It was postponed, so I'll be due.

Well,

I know it means a lot to her that you're here.

Me too.

Please welcome Annika Truman.

I'd like to dedicate this song to my math teacher, Mrs. Tai, and Mr.

from gym class.

You're hider and seeker, they're under in the bleachers. I caught you, you

writer, my favorite math teacher.

You held her, you ruled her like Julius Caesar.

You handled her like a dove.

But when it was over, her tale of abortion and fear of exposure and

extortion, did Mr. Tai find out and try to divorce her? Was it even ever love?

Oh, what a shame.

We're all to blame.

Look out, here it comes, here it comes, the truth.

We confiscated all the cell phones that we could.

The last thing we need is this all over the Internet.

That was smart.

I'm going to expel her.

I thought we were here to discuss this.

What about these two teachers having an affair on school grounds? What are you

doing about that?

That was a vicious rumor.

Cover up.

Wait outside.

We really had no idea what she was working on. Maybe that was a problem

there. Excuse me? We pay a lot of money in tuition to this school, and I think

that entitles us to an opportunity to resolve this without an expulsion. This

a total disregard for our institutional ideals, and if I may,

Mrs. Truman, tuition money is just the beginning of what we expect at this

school. And honestly, if this had happened with one of our more committed

families... We'd have more of an incentive to discuss a resolution.

We need to go back out there. No, absolutely not. Okay, you know, wait,

No, we are not giving this school another penny if that's the way they're

to treat her or us. I totally agree.

You hated it, Neil, that much?

I told you a thousand times I don't belong here.

Besides, I know she hates me anyway.

I'll drive her home, then we'll talk.

Neil, what are you doing?

Cleaning the pool.

Now?

Can't remember the last time we were out here.

I used to love this thing.

What happened?

I know we said nine, but I was so nervous that I got here almost an hour

there any chance you could come early before I lose my nerve?

Uh, I'm sorry. I forgot our appointment.

Where are you?

Plaza Rouge. That was your suggestion, right?

Hello?

It's Simon.

What are you doing? I said never call this number.

What was your name again?

Mallory.

I got the room already.

Have you seen your husband yet? What?

He's right outside. Why would you ask me that?

Did I leave my phone at the house?

Earlier. I can't find it. That's why you're calling me?

I have to go. I'm sorry. I don't have your phone.

I have to go into the office.

Now? Yeah.

It's an emergency.

I'll take him with you later.

Put me down.

Very nice to meet you.

I'm sorry I called in such a panic. No, I'm sorry I was late.

You came very highly recommended, by the way.

Really?

By who?

I mean, don't worry, it's not important.

Is she married?

I mean...

Of course. That's a silly question. Of course she was married. Why would you be

here if you weren't married?

Why are you here?

You mean... What do I want?

No. Clearly, I think we both know what you want.

No, wait. No, I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean it to sound like that.

You're so beautiful.

I can't imagine, you know, why you'd even need to... Can we start again?

Please. This was really hard for me. I have never done anything like this

before.

Me neither.

You seem so normal.

Well, I'm trying very hard right now.

Would you care for anything else this evening?

Uh, yes. Would you like another?

And I'll have a vodka soda. Very good.

I'm not sure what I want to answer your question.

Okay.

Well, why don't you tell me why you called me?

I've been married a long time, and I love my husband.

But he's just never around.

It works a lot?

And even when he is home, he's on his laptop.

Then he completely ignores me whenever I try and talk to him.

There's always some deadline he's worried about.

I am sure he still cares about you.

And, you know, we feel so much pressure to perform at work that... I just wish

he felt the same way about our marriage.

I don't want to feel wanted.

No one has wanted me in so long.

Hello? Where are you?

I'm still at work.

You didn't return any of my texts.

my phone off oh and they rescheduled that trip to new york so uh i'm gonna

to go out of town again for a while who's this new client neil no one you

anyway uh i have to go

I put it all there.

Plus tip.

Something wrong?

No. No.

Thank you.

I hate to just run, but I want to get back home to Daniel.

See if anything's changed now.

Thank you.

Can I help you?

Hi. Sorry, it's just my husband's worked here for five years. I've actually

never seen his office.

I'm Grace, Neil Truman's wife.

You're Neil's wife? Is he here?

So despite everything that's happened, I thought there still might be hope for

me.

Is there anything you can tell me to help me make sense of all of this?

All of your answers are here.

Seriously?

No, my entire life just went Enron.

And... That's your answer?

A flower?

Is that all you see?

Respectfully, what I see is you're the one that's crazy.

No, I read your story about the Buddha leaving his family. It's insane.

I mean, if people like me just gave up everything, I'd be certifiable.

You know, hell, hey, you know, of course I could just take antidepressants, be

just another zombie walking around just trying to pay his mortgage, or, oh, pour

my passions into a home theater system, and what's the point?

I mean, who wants to live like that?

I think I can work with that, yeah.

All right.

Text me the address.

Bye.

There's a woman who wants to pay me $5 ,000 to have sex with her for the

weekend.

I'm going to go.

When you're ready, you will come back.

You ask me...

Anyone can be Zen if you meditate all day.

Try having a family.

Yeah, live in rush hour traffic half your life and work 80 hours a week. Now,

you can do all of that with a smile on your face, then I'll believe you are

truly enlightened.

No, no, no, no.

You left one.

are you going to tell Annika?

I don't know.

The whole thing might be my fault. I'm sorry, what?

He's just, he's been so unhappy lately.

I've tried to cheer him up. I bought him a tie.

Grace, you've been nothing but supportive of him since you first met.

Nothing you said or didn't say could have made him do what he did.

Unless there's something else going on.

Is something else going on? Oh, and you know what his office said?

That when he went to New York the other day, he freaked out on the plane and

pulled the emergency slide. Are you kidding?

No, and I think you can see the whole thing online.

Hold on.

Oh, I think I found it.

Tired of being told to remain calm... Oh, my God, I'm crazy.

Hello? Paper work won't be an issue. Yeah, I'm sure.

Yeah, I'll talk to you this morning.

Just transfer the funds and I'll put you in touch.

What?

Yeah. Tell Joe.

On time. That's good.

Adriana. Simon.

Nice to meet you.

Those the only clothes you have, Simon?

Uh, I have a business suit in the car.

I'm sorry, I...

I didn't know what we were doing.

When a woman makes the date, you should always come prepared for any occasion.

How big are you?

No, wait, don't tell me.

I want to guess.

Jacket, 44 regular.

Shirt, 18.

Size 11, Chef?

11 and a half.

You sure?

Pretty sure.

All right.

Let's get you out of this club.

Come.

We're going to a fundraiser tonight. There'll be a lot of men there with a

of money. You should be able to find something more stylish in here.

Anything specific?

Yeah.

Something that makes me look good.

Wow. That looks great on you.

I want you to keep it.

Uh, no.

No, really. I can't. A woman's generosity should never be taken for

You're right.

Thank you.

Sorry, I was a little confused.

Because you just stole the view right out of this room. You look gorgeous.

I'm starting to get a little worried about you.

Just needed a little time to warm up.

I knew you had it in you.

I absolutely have to have it.

Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be closing bids in five minutes. Thank you. The

piece I wanted.

We never bid.

I'll take care of it.

If there's one thing I know how to do, it's close a deal.

Would you like to bid, sir? I would. Just tell me your signed number. I can

ahead and do it for you. 5 -0 -0.

I'm sorry, that's not coming up. Sure it is.

You know who's bid on that piece and for how much. I need to go home with that

tonight.

What was that number again?

Drive 175.

I think you're all set. Thank you.

Is that Neil Truman?

You work with O 'Connell over at Bashan, right?

Charles Lipton.

Charles. I thought that was you.

So, how are they treating your money over there at Montgomery, was it? Like,

pissed on it before I handed it over. I wouldn't let it worry you.

In the short term.

Well, you know something I don't. Of course.

If I didn't, how could I do my job?

Well, from what I hear, you're doing it very well these days.

Maybe you'd like to take a look at my portfolio?

Tell me what you think.

All of your answers are right here.

I hope I'm not interrupting something.

Adriana, Charles, Charles, this is Adriana. How do you do?

Charmed. Would you please tell your husband that I need his help? He is

very, very coy with me. I'm not being coy with you, Charles.

I'm just really not interested in helping you. Have a great evening.

Who was that?

Someone from another life.

You're welcome to take a shower before you go.

It's 60 % less than what we talked about on the phone.

My cut.

What?

Wait, your cut?

What's this all been about?

I don't really advertise it, but I have a service that caters to very rich, very

busy, very picky women who are looking for a man, not a husband, and usually

just for an evening.

I've been hearing about you for a while.

Word does travel in certain circles.

Since I'm always on the lookout for new talent, I figured I'd take a little test

drive before I make the offer.

So this whole entire evening's just been one big job interview.

Come work for me.

I think you'd be surprised how much your business improves.

Unless you like banging all those lonely housewives you've been filling your

phone book with. I'm not interested.

What were you before?

You're not the typical personal trainer or model I usually come across.

You have a soul.

I manage other people's money.

It's pretty clear I didn't have a soul anymore.

Well, thankfully it's not a job requirement.

Although it is a plus.

Thank you.

Very pleasant evening.

When you're ready to make a real change, I'll be here to welcome you.

Look what I just got.

104 inches, high -depth, 3D LED clarity, baby. The biggest on the market. What

do you think?

Congratulations. Super Bowl's going to be at my house this year. Got the

speakers hooked up. Going to be like you're taking the snap yourself.

Looking forward to it.

In here.

You want to hear something funny?

Your wife actually staged the house I bought two years ago.

You know, I think we actually kept half that furniture, too.

Would you mind if I steal him for just a sec?

No, please.

Yeah, I gotta tell you, Neil, you really took me by surprise.

Twice in one week. Doesn't happen very often. Sorry about the TV.

Don't be.

Reality is, it's exactly that kind of passion and recklessness that made this

firm great.

I don't want to lose it. I don't want my job back. Good.

Because I'm offering you something better.

Partnership.

I got a call this morning from Charles Lipton. He said he saw you at a party

other night.

He is insisting that you take over his hedge fund.

I told him you couldn't wait to get started.

Don't make me beg here, Neil.

Okay, do you have any idea how much money a partner makes? I don't care

the money.

Okay. What do you care about?

I fired the pool guy.

Yes, you were right.

He was lazy.

I don't know why I never saw that before.

Well, we don't spend any time out here anymore.

The whole reason we bought this house, remember?

How come you never told me?

About the job?

I didn't want to worry you.

I'll work out.

What about us? Are we going to work out?

I don't know. I'm scared, Neil. I don't know what's happening to us.

You still have that tie you bought me.

No, it's the color.

It really brings out your eyes. Yeah, I know.

I want you to know that I appreciate when you give me things.

You should never take that for granted.

Thank you.

And I returned it.

This is your real job.

Grace told me you were some financial guy.

Looks like you do okay for yourself.

I know you had my phone.

All right.

I know you slept with one of my clients, a bartender at the hotel, a friend of

mine.

What did you do with my contacts?

I can't access them online anymore.

My livelihood, man.

What are you trying to do to me here?

Same thing you did to my wife, I think.

I know where you live.

All right, I know where you work now.

If you don't undo what you did, I'm going to have to come after you.

Do you get me?

That's not a real threat.

You know what a real threat is?

The IRS.

looking into your finances for the last 10 years and discovering what it is you

actually do for a living.

And all that would take would be one phone call.

You got me?

Yo!

Heard it's a good use.

We got our cleanup bidder back.

That's awesome.

How you doing?

Daryl. You know this prick?

No.

He doesn't. Well, lucky you. It's a massive pain in the ass.

I'm just kidding. He's the most talented guy in the firm. Why don't you get in

the elevator?

Of course, my liege.

Nice to meet you.

Did we have anything further to discuss?

Tell Grace I said hello.

Got the elevator.

Well, I got it.

I've

been

thinking a lot about that story again lately.

About the Buddha leaving his family in search of meaning.

Didn't really make sense to me the first time I read it. I mean, what kind of

man would you have to be to leave everything you've ever loved to search

meaning of it all?

I guess you never really know where enlightenment will come from.

Dad, I thought you were dead.

Me too.

See, we didn't need a vacation, babe.

Just a little family time around the pool.

I actually think going somewhere warmer would have been better.

Yeah. Yeah, but that's not the point.

I was going to make lunch. Who's hungry?

Tuna fish coming up.

Grace, she come in.

It's actually not that bad.

I was planning on it.

Wow, Mom, you look hot.

I knew it was too good to be true.

I didn't have to go into the office.

Let's just see who it is first.

Well? Who is it?
