00:02This is me, Nicole Bradford.
00:04Cute, huh?
00:05This is my dad.
00:06And this is my dad.
00:08How'd I get two dads?
00:09They inherited me.
00:10Congratulations.
00:11It's a girl.
00:13Here's the judge who brought us together.
00:14She lives in our building.
00:15My building.
00:16I own it.
00:17She's gonna make sure we're one big happy family,
00:20with one dad who's down to earth,
00:21and one dad with his head in the clouds.
00:24I think we're father of the year.
00:26You can count on me
00:28No matter what you do
00:31You can count on me
00:33No matter where you go
00:36I'm standing by your side
00:38I'll be right behind
00:39No one loves you more than I do
00:43Put your hands behind
00:44You can count on me
00:48No matter what you do
00:50You can count on me
00:53No matter where you go
00:55You can count on me
01:20I'll be right back
01:22I'll be right back
01:28Venezuela, everybody.
01:34Good morning, Dad.
01:35Morning, Nick.
01:37A little breakfast?
01:39Sure, join me.
01:40No, because I am about to create a sculpture.
01:43You know, it's the creative impulse that is the strongest, purest, most nourishing energy in the universe.
01:49I never need to eat when I'm working.
01:50You're not working.
01:51You're singing Calypso songs to avoid working.
01:56Hey, nobody likes a smart kid.
02:01You know what happened at school yesterday with Rebecca?
02:03Now, Rebecca, that's the one that's trying to get David to notice it, right?
02:05Right, except David...
02:06David's got the crush on Amy Logan.
02:08Right, except Amy...
02:09Amy doesn't know that David's alive.
02:12So, David's gonna ask Amy if they want to do homework together in study hall,
02:16and Rebecca is really jealous, so they're having a wet willy fight.
02:20Morning, sweetheart.
02:22Morning, Joe.
02:23Morning.
02:23What's this, about a fight?
02:25Is there a problem at school?
02:27No.
02:27Oh, everything's fine.
02:30So, Michael, are you gonna have breakfast with us?
02:32I'd love to, Nicole.
02:33I gotta get to the office early, keep plowing away on this merger proposition.
02:36So everything's okay at school?
02:37Uh-huh.
02:38Everything's okay with your friends?
02:39Uh-huh.
02:40Mm.
02:41Good.
02:42I may be a little late tonight with this merger thing.
02:46Again?
02:47Nicole, if I put together an interesting proposal and these companies actually merge,
02:51could mean a raise, maybe a promotion.
02:54So maybe you two should think about having dinner without me.
02:58Bye.
03:01So come on, fill me in on the wet willy confrontation.
03:05Who's that?
03:05No big deal.
03:06Yeah, it's a couple of friends in Nicole's.
03:08So how come you know about them and I don't?
03:10Really?
03:10It's no big deal.
03:12I know your work is important.
03:13Okay.
03:14So see you tonight, or tomorrow, or flag day.
03:19Okay, so, now David is asking Amy to do homework with you.
03:23Right, and you would not believe how jealous Rebecca is.
03:26So fill me in on the Amy-Rebecca wet willy confrontation.
03:29More like a wet willy war.
03:31They're ambushing each other in the hallways, hiding in lockers.
03:34School is now at my favorite place.
03:36Good, good.
03:41Yeah, I like the numbers.
03:43I like the projections.
03:44I like what I'm looking at, Taylor.
03:46You really do all this research?
03:48You just make this stuff up.
03:50Thank you, sir.
03:52I'll put in a call to Beaumont Pharmaceuticals,
03:54arrange for you to pitch the merger presentation Monday morning.
03:57You call our attorneys.
03:58Have them get started on that proxy report.
04:01I'll call my broker, have him buy 10,000 shares of Beaumont Pharmaceuticals.
04:05That's flat out illegal, isn't it?
04:07Jeez, I love this business.
04:09Mr. Kelcher, that's insider trading.
04:13Taylor, stop taking me seriously.
04:14You really think I'm stupid enough to put myself at risk?
04:17I'm not.
04:19My brother-in-law is.
04:20Hey, come on.
04:29Hi, Nicole.
04:30Listen, how come I don't know about Amy and Rebecca?
04:34And what's a wet willy?
04:36And fax those spreadsheets to Beaumont's attorneys.
04:39You heard me.
04:40I want that paperwork ASAP.
04:42Yes, sir.
04:44No, no, I wasn't talking to you.
04:46Yes, now I'm talking to you.
04:48I called because I wanted to hear your voice.
04:51Oh, then you're going to be late for school.
04:53Well, then we should hang up and you should go to school.
04:56Yes, I'm sure I'd rather you went to school.
04:59Listen, Nicole,
05:02you want to go to an early movie tonight?
05:04Just you and me.
05:06Hey, I don't know, about 7 o'clock?
05:08Yeah?
05:09Then it's a date.
05:11Terrific.
05:12Okay.
05:13But I love you, too.
05:15Yes, it's not too late to go to school.
05:19Yes, I want you to go.
05:21Yes, you have to go.
05:22Goodbye.
05:25Okay, here's a deal.
05:26I spoke with Arnold Beaumont,
05:28gave him a rundown of our proposal.
05:29He seems very impressed.
05:31Great.
05:32Did you mention my name?
05:33You didn't tell him it was my work?
05:33Hell, no.
05:34We're a team, Taylor.
05:36The team did the work.
05:37Don't you were a team player?
05:39Rah, rah.
05:41Beaumont wants a complete breakdown
05:42of the acquisition company's wholesale market positioning.
05:46What a kvetch.
05:48Ah, well, looks like it's going to be an all-nighter for you, Taylor.
05:52For me?
05:53What about the team?
05:54There is no team, Taylor.
05:56Grow up.
05:58Mr. Kelcher, I can't stay all night.
06:00I have personal obligations I have to attend to.
06:02Personal obligations?
06:03Why didn't you say so?
06:04By all means, take care of your personal obligations.
06:07Really?
06:08Oh, of course.
06:08I'll get Sid Grayson to do it.
06:10Good old hungry Sid's always willing to take a little more work for the team.
06:16Hungry Sid?
06:17You don't know Hungry Sid?
06:19New guy.
06:19I like him.
06:20No why.
06:21No family.
06:22No friends.
06:23No personal obligations.
06:24All he's got is this unbelievable appetite to work his way up the ladder.
06:28He'd be only too glad to take on your work.
06:31Mr. Kelcher, don't bother Hungry Sid.
06:34I'll get it done.
06:36That's a team spirit, Taylor.
06:41Bernice, hold all my calls, send in my lunch, and please buzz me when it's 6.30.
06:45I have to be out of here at 6.30.
06:48Jeez, I love this business.
06:54Well, the money was just inside me, babe.
06:59Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head.
07:03Don't you know, Matilda, she gave me money and I ran Venezuela.
07:09Venezuela.
07:18Here you go, Michael.
07:23Hi, Joe.
07:24That's coming along real nice.
07:29They call asleep?
07:31Of course she's asleep.
07:32It's 2.30 in the morning.
07:33Hey, it's not like I stood her up, you know.
07:34I called the minute I knew I wasn't going to make it in time.
07:36Yeah, well, I don't feel guilty.
07:37I don't feel guilty.
07:38Why should I feel guilty?
07:39I have so much guilt.
07:42Does she understand?
07:43I mean, everybody in my business has to work these hours.
07:45Michael, don't worry about it, okay?
07:46She had a great time tonight anyway.
07:48Oh, good.
07:49Yeah, I took her to the movies.
07:51You took her?
07:52Yeah, I took her.
07:53I'm allowed.
07:53I'm half her father, too.
07:55Yeah, okay.
07:56I'm going to go see if my half's tucked in.
07:59Did you tuck her in, too?
08:01What, I got to do everything?
08:07Dad!
08:08Shh!
08:09You chuppé, you chuppé, you chuppé, you chuppé.
08:12You chuppé, you chuppé.
08:20Will the money walk just inside me, babe?
09:01Hi, Michael.
09:02Hey, what are you doing up so late?
09:07I don't know.
09:08Well, as long as you're up, I want to tell you that I'm really sorry about tonight, and I'm going
09:15to make it up to you.
09:16Guess what I'm holding in my hand?
09:19I give up.
09:20I am holding two, count them, two fifth row center aisle tickets to this Sunday's matinee performance of Starlight Express.
09:29Do you know how hard it is to get these tickets?
09:31But I got them.
09:32You know why I got them?
09:33Because there is nothing too good for you.
09:35So this Sunday, you and I will be sitting in these primo seats watching a great Broadway musical together.
09:42Just you and me.
09:44Won't that be great?
09:45Hmm?
09:49I don't know you'd be excited.
09:52All right, you go back to sleep.
09:54It's way past your bedtime.
10:00I love you.
10:09What the heck's a white willy?
10:13Six banana, cinnamon, banana, eight and a one.
10:16Shh.
10:20Hey, you see?
10:21I told you he'd be here on a Sunday.
10:23This merger is his whole life.
10:25Taylor, say hello to Arnold Beaumont, chairman of the board Beaumont Pharmaceuticals.
10:29Very nice to meet you, sir.
10:31I understand you're the fellow who helped Herb here with a merger proposal.
10:35Helped Herb?
10:37Yeah, well, I've been very fortunate to stand in Herb's shadow.
10:40So, Arnold, have a seat.
10:42Make yourself comfortable.
10:45Okay, Taylor.
10:47Pitch.
10:48Pitch.
10:49Pitch what?
10:50Pitch a presentation.
10:51Come on.
10:51Pitch, pitch, pitch.
10:53I don't understand, Mr. Kelcher.
10:55That's tomorrow.
10:55Ha, Taylor, Arnie here just whipped me 6-3, 6-3, because I was too busy talking about
11:03our merger proposal to get my serve in.
11:04So, in an attempt to console me, he's agreed to hear our pitch today.
11:09No.
11:11Really?
11:13That's, that's very nice, but that could take hours.
11:15Arnie, you in a hurry?
11:17Pitch!
11:19Mr. Kelcher, I came in early this morning just so I can get out of here in time to take
11:22my door.
11:22Well, it's personal obligations.
11:25Fine.
11:25Hungry Sid's in his office.
11:26I'm sure he'll be only too happy to come down here and pitch his hungry heart out.
11:34Michael.
11:35Michael, I'm telling you, I saw them leave about 20 minutes ago.
11:39They couldn't have left.
11:40I called and said to wait for me.
11:41The show doesn't start till 3, and it's only 20 after 4.
11:48Dear Michael, I waited as long as I could, then decided to see the show with Joey, because
11:54I didn't want to waste your tickets.
11:56Love, Nicole.
12:00Michael, are you all right?
12:04Judge, today I closed the biggest, most lucrative business deal of my career, and I've never
12:11felt so worthless in my life.
12:16I guess you have some thinking to do.
12:38I'm the guy with the guy with the skates.
12:39You could skate like that.
12:41I'm telling you, I'm going to get you some skates.
12:43Michael, you're here.
12:45Hey.
12:45Yes, I'm here.
12:47I'm here, so let me have it.
12:48The musical was great.
12:49The seats were so close.
12:51You have every right to be angry and upset with me.
12:53Oh, you should have seen the costumes.
12:54Everybody played a train.
12:56Nicole, stop being so understanding.
12:58Joey bought me the album.
12:59I'm going to go upstairs and play it.
13:01Hey, Nicole.
13:03All I want to be is part of your life.
13:07I know that.
13:09How?
13:11Joey told me.
13:18Well, that's terrific.
13:20First you take it to the movie I want to take it to, then you use my tickets to the
13:23play, and now you're making my excuses for me?
13:25Hey, somebody's got to.
13:27When are you here?
13:28Well, excuse me, Joe, but unlike some other fathers in this house, I'm out there trying
13:32to make a living.
13:33Oh, and I'm not making a living?
13:34No, yeah, of course you are.
13:35You're the highest paid calypso marble playing Harry Belafonte impersonator in the entire
13:41building.
13:41Hey, I'm going to get paid good money for this sculpture when I finish it.
13:44Here, before finishing comes starting, you know?
13:47Oh, please.
13:47You know, you have no idea what motivates talent.
13:51Ooh, insight on human behavior from the man who invented power napping?
13:56Hey, I'm awake enough to know what's going on in my daughter's life.
14:00Oh, well, silly me.
14:01I'm providing for my child.
14:03That's what's important.
14:04Oh, come on.
14:05I mean, you'd work the hours you work, Nicole or not.
14:08And I'll turn the sculpture in a week late, but that'll be fine.
14:11It'll be wonderful, because that's me.
14:14Hey, you know what?
14:15None of this is important.
14:16None of it.
14:17You know what's important?
14:18Oh!
14:19Oh!
14:20What the hell is that?
14:22That's a wet willy, Michael.
14:27I know, because Nicole gave one to me.
14:30She would have given one to you, but you weren't here.
14:32That's a wet willy?
14:33That's a wet willy, Michael.
14:34That's disgusting.
14:35Disgusting!
14:37I'm missing my daughter's disgusting years?
14:40I think she'll forgive me.
14:41She might.
14:43You gonna forgive yourself?
14:47Nicole, would you come down here a second, please?
14:50Yeah, Michael?
14:51Come here, please.
14:54I want to ask you something.
14:56I want you to think about it, and I want you to answer me honestly.
15:01What do you think is the most important thing in my life?
15:06I guess I'm supposed to say me, right?
15:10You're supposed to answer like we've been together 12 years instead of 12 weeks,
15:14and you're not afraid to hurt my feelings.
15:17Michael, I know you love me.
15:19Just, would you not make promises that you're not gonna keep?
15:22Because then I feel bad, and you feel bad, and who wants to feel bad?
15:29Don't you think I want to spend time with you?
15:32No.
15:33I don't know.
15:35You never do.
15:36You used to.
15:38Can't you take a day off?
15:40I have so much to do, and you have school, you know?
15:43Hey, why don't you both play hooky tomorrow?
15:45Joe, that's you.
15:46I can't just push the world off a day.
15:48Sure you can.
15:48I'll cover for you.
15:50Hey, I am the king of hooky, okay?
15:53I'm in the hooky hall of fame.
15:54You look in the dictionary under hooky?
15:56You know whose picture you see?
15:58Not mine.
15:59I didn't show up that day.
16:01Michael,
16:01Well, you don't have to.
16:04I know your work is more important.
16:08No.
16:09It's not.
16:11I'm gonna show you what's important.
16:13I'm gonna call my boss at home on a Sunday,
16:16and I'm gonna tell him that I have priorities in my life.
16:19And, and, uh, I'm gonna take tomorrow off,
16:22and I'm gonna spend it with my daughter.
16:24Cause it's my life,
16:25and I'm calling the shots.
16:27Mr. Kelcher,
16:28Michael Taylor,
16:30I don't feel very good.
16:32And, uh,
16:33I won't be coming in tomorrow.
17:00Joey,
17:01why is your phone off the hook?
17:02Oh, hey, Judge.
17:04Oh, I just left it off the hook
17:05so I wouldn't be disturbed
17:06while I was working.
17:08Yeah,
17:08it's coming along real nice.
17:12Where's Nicole?
17:13She's in school.
17:14No, she's not.
17:17After they tried to call you,
17:18the principal's office called me
17:20because I'm listed as her next of kin.
17:22Oh, she's fine.
17:23I'm glad to hear that.
17:25Where is she?
17:27How do you mean?
17:29Joe, sit down.
17:33I've been trained to sweat the truth
17:35out of hardened criminals.
17:38Talk now,
17:39and I'll go easy on you.
17:41Okay, okay, okay, I'll talk.
17:43My parents were poor but humble people.
17:47Who lived in a houseboat
17:49right outside.
17:49Okay, okay.
17:51Prepare to sweat.
17:54If you don't know where Nicole is,
17:55where's Michael?
17:56Michael?
17:57Oh, he's at work.
17:58No, he's not.
17:58I called his office.
17:59He didn't go in today.
18:00Oh, that's right.
18:01He's sick today.
18:01Oh, so he's in his bed.
18:03I'll go get him.
18:03No, no, he's not in his bed.
18:04He's in the hospital.
18:08He's real sick.
18:10Oh, what type of sickness
18:12does he have?
18:13Malaria.
18:15That's a jungle disease, Joe.
18:17Hey, it's a jungle out there.
18:19You're good, Joe.
18:21But I'm better.
18:23I'm gonna make you sing.
18:28Damn.
18:30Damn.
18:32Excuse me.
18:38What can I do for you?
18:41I, uh,
18:42have the wrong apartment.
18:45Hey, Judge.
18:45Billy, trust me, okay?
18:47They're fine.
18:52Hey, how you been?
18:55Joe, you should never cover
18:57for your friends.
18:58It'll always come to no good.
19:00I'm looking for Michael Taylor.
19:02This is the right address.
19:03I'm Herb Kelcher, his boss.
19:05Where is he?
19:05He's in the hospital.
19:09Malaria.
19:11Is that the best day
19:12you ever had or what?
19:20Mr. Kelcher?
19:21You got a nasty fake cough there, Taylor.
19:24You better take some, uh,
19:25fake cough medicine
19:26and go see a fake doctor.
19:28Meanwhile, I got some real work for you.
19:30Hi, Judge.
19:31Hi, sweetie.
19:34I won all this stuff at school.
19:38These are the, uh, specs
19:40on some companies
19:40that are ripe for takeover.
19:42Since you're our merger star,
19:43I'd like you to study them
19:44and let me know what you think.
19:47Right.
19:48Hey, wait a minute.
19:49Wait a minute.
19:50He's spending the day with his daughter.
19:52Joe, don't help.
19:53You took the day off
19:55to spend time with Nicole?
19:57Yeah.
19:58I suppose you think
19:59that makes me an irresponsible father.
20:01Personally,
20:01I think that makes you
20:02a great father
20:03but a lousy hooky player.
20:07Don't you lightweights
20:08know you're supposed
20:08to call the school?
20:10Taylor, who are these people?
20:13This is my daughter,
20:14Nicole,
20:16and she is
20:17the most important thing
20:18in my life.
20:21This is Joey Harris.
20:23She's not.
20:24And this is our landlord
20:26and neighbor judge,
20:27Margaret Wilbur.
20:28Herb Kelcher,
20:29Taft Kelcher.
20:30Taft's dead.
20:31I don't like employees
20:33who take the day off
20:34for no reason.
20:35Spending time with your family
20:37is no reason?
20:38Take it from me,
20:38the kid will be plenty happy
20:39if daddy brings home
20:40a nice fat bonus.
20:42A bonus check
20:44doesn't tuck
20:44your little girl in at night.
20:45Well, I'm the boss,
20:47so things get done my way.
20:50Well, I'm the law.
20:52And if there's one thing
20:53that's taught me,
20:54it's that sometimes
20:55you have to bend.
21:01Why don't you bend?
21:12I could go for her.
21:16Mr. Kelcher,
21:17I want to tell you something.
21:19I took the day off
21:20because I've been working
21:22very hard
21:22and I deserve it.
21:24And even if I don't deserve it,
21:26Nicole deserves it.
21:27I understand, Taylor.
21:29You think I'm an ogre?
21:30You take all the time
21:31off you need.
21:32Just give me the papers,
21:33I'll show them to...
21:34To Hungry Sid.
21:35You want to give them
21:35to Hungry Sid?
21:36Fine.
21:37You feed these
21:39to Hungry Sid
21:39because I'm going to let you
21:40in on something, Herb.
21:41You know what I found out today?
21:42I found out that
21:44the payback on being
21:45a good father
21:45is getting hugs
21:47and love
21:48from my kid
21:49even when I acted
21:50like an idiot.
21:52Whereas I could spend
21:53a lifetime
21:53killing myself
21:54for people like you
21:55and I would never
21:56once get a hug.
21:58Okay.
22:01There's your hug.
22:07There's your work.
22:10What about Hungry Sid?
22:11Forget Hungry Sid.
22:12Hungry Sid's an idiot.
22:14His whole purpose
22:15in this company
22:15is to make hardworking,
22:16talented people
22:17like you feel insecure.
22:18It doesn't work,
22:19so he's fired.
22:21So, uh,
22:23so you're saying
22:23that I'm valuable
22:25to the team?
22:27I hugged you,
22:27didn't I?
22:30So I guess you wouldn't mind
22:31if Michael just took
22:32the rest of the week off
22:33so he could spend
22:33it with his daughter.
22:34Ah, yeah, he's funny.
22:35Okay, Michael,
22:37you spend some time
22:38with your daughter,
22:39fine with me,
22:40but when there is work
22:41that needs to be done,
22:42I don't care how
22:43or when it gets done,
22:44it better be done
22:45because that's the way
22:46it is in this business.
22:48And Taylor,
22:49you've, uh,
22:51inspired me.
22:52I think I'm gonna go home
22:53and spend some time
22:54with my kids.
22:55You got kids?
22:57Yeah, of course I do.
