00:01I don't know.
00:02I don't know.
00:02I don't understand.
00:04This is the third day in a row we're having breakfast at Klawicki's.
00:07How come we don't have breakfast at the loft anymore?
00:09All our cereal's expiring.
00:13Good morning.
00:14What can I get for you?
00:16I knew it couldn't be the food.
00:20Penny Ann, is it your shift this morning?
00:22What a surprise.
00:25Well, I like to keep the afternoons open for auditions.
00:28Oh, you been getting any work?
00:30Well, I'd rather be doing theater work, but I did get an audition for a commercial last week.
00:34It was for dishwashing liquid.
00:36And all they needed of me was up to my wrists.
00:39You know, a poet once said that the eyes are the windows to the soul.
00:43You know, I think the wrists are the windows to the arms.
00:49Check, please.
00:52Oh, hey, Judge, I didn't see you.
00:54How are you?
00:56I don't know.
00:57You tell me.
01:01This is me, Nicole Bradford.
01:03Cute, huh?
01:04This is my dad.
01:05And this is my dad.
01:07How'd I get two dads?
01:08They inherited me.
01:09Congratulations.
01:10It's a girl.
01:12Here's the judge who brought us together.
01:13She lives in our building.
01:14My building.
01:15I own it.
01:16She's gonna make sure we're one big happy family with one dad who's down to earth and one dad with
01:21his head in the clouds.
01:23I think we're father of the year.
01:25You can count on me.
01:28You can count on me.
01:33No matter what you do.
01:34No matter where you go.
01:35I'm standing by your side.
01:37I'll be right behind.
01:39No one loves you more than I do.
01:42Put your hands by me.
01:44You can count on me.
01:47No matter what you do.
01:50You can count on me.
01:52No matter where you go.
01:55You can count on me.
02:01Okay.
02:02Magellan.
02:03Born 1480.
02:04Died 1521.
02:05Didn't fall off the world.
02:06Give me another one.
02:07Alright.
02:08Bizarro.
02:09Born 1475.
02:10Died 1541.
02:11Conquered the Incas.
02:12Ask me anything.
02:15Vasco de Gama.
02:22Born 1492.
02:23Died 1941.
02:25Appointed King of England.
02:26Inventive Baseball.
02:2728th President of the United States.
02:31Boy, when you're wrong, you're wrong.
02:35Listen to this, because this is unbelievable.
02:37You're not going to believe it, because I can't believe it.
02:40There's this guy at work, George Blankenship.
02:41Great guy.
02:42Everybody says he's a lucky guy.
02:43Because he got the Slocum Steel account.
02:45You want to know how lucky he is?
02:46I'll tell you how lucky he is.
02:47He's dead.
02:50Some guy died at your office?
02:51Yeah.
02:52It was between me and him for executive of the month.
02:54He must have been working all night, because they found him this morning, dead at his desk, slumped over the
02:58Slocum proposal.
02:59Ooh, that's going to be hard to beat.
03:02Hi, Nicole.
03:03Hey, Corey. How you doing?
03:04Dad.
03:05Oh, we're doing good, sir.
03:06See, Nicole and I have this deal where I help her with explorers for her history test.
03:10She supposedly helps me with algebra for my math test.
03:14We'll get to algebra tomorrow.
03:16Nicole, you said that yesterday.
03:18I think you're going to pass your test and end up at a great college, and I'll be cashier at
03:22a supermarket who gets fired because he can't even make change.
03:27Well, I got homework of my own to get started on.
03:31Well, can't you relax first, Dad?
03:32I don't want you ever to end up slumped over your desk.
03:35Hey, don't worry, Nick.
03:36That was probably some real old guy whose time was up, right, Mikey?
03:39Actually, Joe, he was our age.
03:41He was your age?
03:43How could that happen to somebody your age?
03:45Aren't you young anymore?
03:48Of course I'm young, Nicole.
03:50You don't see me buying my pants with a skosh more room, do you?
03:53Besides, this guy was much different than me.
03:55He was a type A personality.
03:57Obsessive, compulsive, workaholic.
03:59He was nothing at all like me.
04:00Quiet.
04:02I have a great family history.
04:04Everybody lived to be a ripe old age.
04:06Except my Uncle Milt, who had a heart attack at 59.
04:08But he was dating a 27-year-old belly dancer at the time.
04:12It was his goal to go out that way.
04:15You know something, Michael?
04:16Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to come down to the gym with me a couple nights
04:19a week and get yourself back in shape.
04:22What do you mean get myself back in shape?
04:24Myself never left.
04:26Myself happens to be in great shape.
04:28Hey, I'm just saying that you're in a high-stress business and maybe you should start taking better care of
04:32yourself like me.
04:34Michael's not sick.
04:35You're not sick.
04:35Are you, Michael?
04:37I'm a bull.
04:38I am the picture of health.
04:40Joey wishes he was as healthy as I am.
04:42Hey, my laundry's as healthy as you.
04:45What, you think you're in as good a shape as me?
04:47Well, why shouldn't I be?
04:48Oh, because you're taller than I am?
04:49That's a liability, pally.
04:51I'll tell you why.
04:52Your heart is farther away from your feet.
04:55So, at the end of your life, the blood don't go there anymore.
04:57So, you're going to have to sit with your feet elevated.
05:00That's a medical fact that I just made up.
05:03Hey, I got one word for you.
05:07Challenge match.
05:08Ooh.
05:09Ooh.
05:10Ooh.
05:11I can't believe you remember that.
05:12Yeah.
05:13What are you talking about?
05:14What challenge match?
05:15Hey, it was 1974.
05:17I mean, Michael and I, we've always been two completely different people.
05:19But in one thing, we're exactly the same.
05:21Racquetball.
05:22No matter how many games we play, we always break even.
05:24Yeah, yeah.
05:25The championship match was our World Series to decide once and for all whether Michael Taylor or Joey Harris was
05:31the racquetball champion of life.
05:33Mm-hmm.
05:33Hey.
05:34So, who won?
05:36We never ended up playing, no.
05:38How come?
05:40Because we challenged each other on the beach in Florida.
05:43We were supposed to play as soon as we got back from that summer vacation.
05:46But a funny thing happened.
05:49Was that when you met my mother?
05:51That's right.
05:52Another competition where we ended up even.
05:55So, we got some unfinished business, buddy, on the racquetball court.
05:58Huh?
05:59Say a week from today, Mr. Taylor, if you're in shape for it.
06:03You're on, fool.
06:20One of my nuts.
06:25Good morning, Judge.
06:26Coffee.
06:27Coming up.
06:29Papers.
06:30Times, news.
06:31Racing form.
06:34Anybody seen my dad's yet this morning?
06:36I got a note from each of them saying they'd see me later and all the eggs were gone.
06:40Oh, boy.
06:49Waking up with the sun, running five miles around a reservoir, no better way to start your day.
06:55I don't know when I felt better.
06:58Judge?
06:59Honey?
07:00Hey.
07:04Good morning.
07:05And what can I get for you?
07:07I'll have a stretcher.
07:11Oh.
07:12Oh, man.
07:13Whew.
07:14I feel like I'm gonna...
07:21I feel like I'm gonna run a couple more miles.
07:24That workout at the gym didn't put me through the paces.
07:28You can save it, Joey.
07:29I was at the gym this morning.
07:30I saw you there.
07:31Oh, really?
07:32I didn't see you there.
07:33Well, that's because you were hyperventilating and you had a bag on your head.
07:38That wasn't a bag.
07:39That was a gym hat.
07:44Hey, you guys.
07:45What did I tell you about talking to my sister?
07:47We gotta talk to her.
07:48She's the waitress.
07:50You're not hitting on it?
07:51No, we're too tired.
07:54Michael, you don't look too good.
07:56No, I'm okay.
07:57You look sick.
07:59You didn't have my catch of the day, did you?
08:01Because it was from last week.
08:05Michael, you do look really pale.
08:09Maybe I just better go upstairs to the loft.
08:11Lie down for a little while.
08:15Hey, Michael, what's the matter?
08:18There's nothing to panic about, Joey.
08:20But would you just call an ambulance, please?
08:28Oh.
08:30Well, come on, lay down.
08:32Don't be a hero.
08:33Lie down.
08:34I don't want to lay down.
08:35I want to sit up.
08:36I don't have to lie down.
08:38Lie down.
08:38Right.
08:42And I would appreciate it if you would wait outside.
08:46Do I have to?
08:47Yeah, you should do what the doctor says, Nick.
08:49He's the doctor he knows best.
08:53You too.
08:56You all right?
08:57Yeah, it's okay.
08:58Okay.
08:58Go ahead.
09:00Okay.
09:00Hey.
09:02I'll see you on a racquetball court.
09:03Hey.
09:04All right.
09:05He's going to be okay, right Doc?
09:07And if you've got to take his shirt off, make sure you hang it up, okay?
09:11Because if it gets wrinkly, he gets real upset.
09:18I love you.
09:21I love you.
09:22I love you too.
09:30Doctor?
09:31Yes?
09:32Am I going to live?
09:34Yes, Mr. Taylor.
09:36What's the matter with me?
09:38Well, you have radiating pain caused by inflammation of the stomach.
09:42Particularly the stomach lining.
09:45Is that going to shorten my lifespan?
09:47It shouldn't.
09:49Is there a name that this condition goes by?
09:52Yes, there is.
09:53What is it?
09:54Gas.
09:58Gas?
10:00Well, you can call it gas striders if you want.
10:05How exactly does one get that?
10:08What exactly did one have to eat this morning?
10:13Five eggs.
10:15And then what?
10:16Then I ran five miles.
10:19Don't do that.
10:25My dads are old.
10:27Both of them.
10:28What?
10:30In this book, it says that at our age, new cells are being produced faster than the old cells are
10:35dying.
10:35But at my dad's age, the old cells are dying faster than new ones can be produced.
10:40Well, then we don't have much time.
10:41So, teach me algebra.
10:44No.
10:45Don't you see what this means?
10:47Every day, there's a little less of my dads.
10:49I mean, how many cells could they possibly have left?
10:52I wouldn't know, Nicole.
10:53I'm flunking math.
10:57Hey.
10:58Hey, Corey.
10:59How you doing?
11:00Hey, Nick.
11:01Hey, listen.
11:02I want you guys to be extra specially nice to Michael, okay?
11:05Why?
11:06Because he is a dead man.
11:10Tomorrow, at 6 at the Racquetball Center, I am going to wipe the court with him.
11:13The World Championship of the Loft will belong to me.
11:17You're still going to play this crazy match?
11:19Why can't you just go to the park and take a nice walk?
11:22You know, he knows he's going to lose, too.
11:24He just knows he's going to lose.
11:25He's going to try to psych me out.
11:27He's going to come in with this little cough.
11:29I'm going to say, hey, Michael, you okay?
11:31He'll say, oh, sure, Joe.
11:32Never felt better in my life.
11:36And then, I'm going to feel sorry for him.
11:38I'm going to give him a break, and then he's going to nail me.
11:41That's his plan, but it's not going to work.
11:42Uh-uh.
11:43Never works.
11:44I own him.
11:45I own him.
11:48Joey, Michael just got out of the hospital.
11:50Well, sweetheart, you heard what the doctor said.
11:53He's going to be fine.
11:54No, I didn't hear the doctor.
11:57The doctor threw us out of the room.
11:58How do we know what he told Michael?
11:59How do we know he's okay?
12:01Hey, hello, hello.
12:02Hiya, sweetheart.
12:03Hey, Corey, how you doing?
12:04Fine, Mrs. Taylor.
12:05How are you?
12:06Never felt better.
12:09Come on, hey.
12:11Tell the call you're okay.
12:12Uh, my shoulder's a little sore, but, uh, I don't think it'll slow me down.
12:16Ooh, you're not going to get one single point off me.
12:19Uh, Nicole?
12:21Guys, I have to talk to both of you right now.
12:25Sure, Nick.
12:26What is it?
12:27I don't know how to put this, but you're decaying.
12:32Your bodies have to work harder every day just to do the same things.
12:36You're losing 30% of your elasticity every year, and you've got bones like twigs.
12:43Nicole, where are you getting all this?
12:44From these medical books.
12:47The Encyclopedia of Human Physiology and Disease Pathology.
12:51I read that.
12:52I read that.
12:52The guy dies in the end, right?
12:54It's not funny.
12:56You guys aren't as young as you think you are anymore.
12:58I don't want you to play this crazy match tomorrow.
13:01I want you to go see a movie and eat popcorn without salt.
13:05Hey, Nick, it's a racquetball game.
13:07Racquetball's dangerous for people your age.
13:09There's walls, and you're so brittle.
13:12Nicole, we're very experienced.
13:14We know where those walls are at all times.
13:17And if we hit them, we promise we won't shatter.
13:20Why can't you just play one game?
13:22Because it's the World Series.
13:23It's seven games.
13:25Well, seven's too many for Michael.
13:27Why does he have to strain himself?
13:29What are you doing, cahoots?
13:30He's a young man.
13:31He's fine, and I'm going to beat the hell out of him.
13:35I don't want you to play.
13:36Why not?
13:37Because you had a warning.
13:39The doctor just warned me not to eat and run.
13:41You were in a hospital.
13:43I don't want you being in hospitals.
13:45Why do you have to play if it's going to make me worry?
13:47Is it so important who's better than who?
13:50All right, Nicole, we won't play.
13:52We won't.
13:53We won't?
14:00Corey, let's go down to Kluiki's and split a milkshake.
14:04Split a milkshake?
14:05Good.
14:06Division.
14:07Let's go.
14:10She's still worried about you, Michael.
14:11She's afraid if you play this match, it's going to kill you.
14:13She's got the right to be sensitive.
14:15I mean, she already lost one parent.
14:16She's only got two left.
14:20So why should we make her worry anyway?
14:21I never want to make her worry.
14:23I do, however, enjoy having a life.
14:25So you have a life.
14:26We play tomorrow.
14:27We just don't tell her.
14:29That's not nice.
14:31Oh, come on.
14:31When you're Nicole's age and your dad had a couple rough months,
14:34when there's no money coming in, the mortgage payment's due,
14:37and the bank's saying that they're going to take the house back,
14:39did your parents make you worry?
14:41So what you're saying is sometimes ignorance is bliss.
14:47No, Michael.
14:47If I wanted to use a cheap cliché, I would've.
14:51No.
14:51What I'm saying is, is what good is it to worry a 12-year-old kid?
14:55I mean, she sees life through 12-year-old eyes.
14:59And as far as she's concerned, we're old.
15:02You know how old we used to think 30 was?
15:05Now I'm 30, and I've got a little bit more perspective,
15:07and I realize you're not old till you're like 200.
15:11We're not decaying, are we?
15:13Of course not.
15:14No.
15:15Yeah.
15:15I thought I was getting some gray hairs right up here the other day,
15:18but I realized it was just the way the light was hitting it.
15:20Yeah.
15:23You know, light's hitting it pretty good on this side, too.
15:26And the back, absolutely blinding.
15:29In fact, if gray hair is dead hair, you have a graveyard for a head.
15:36At least my chin doesn't flap.
15:39I'm sorry, what was that?
15:41No, nothing.
15:42No, no, no.
15:42You just said something about my chin.
15:43No, I said that sometimes when you talk, you know, the skin right here just kind of flaps.
15:48Hey, my skin does not flap.
15:58Now, how do we know your skin doesn't flap?
16:01Maybe that's why you grew the beard.
16:02You're covering up.
16:03Hey, hey, hey, hey.
16:05I ain't in great shape, huh?
16:06I ain't proud of my body.
16:08Yeah, and every day there's just a little bit more to be proud of.
16:12Flap, flap.
16:13Hey, hey, hey.
16:14Flap, flap, flap.
16:15Hey, listen, graveyard head.
16:19One hour with me on the racquetball court,
16:21you were gonna be flapping out of the other side of your mouth.
16:22Oh, an hour?
16:23An hour? That's as long as you can go?
16:25That's as long as it'll take.
16:26Best of seven, bud.
16:27Hey, world championship at a loft, bud.
16:29Done.
16:30Tomorrow.
16:30Done.
16:31Hey, hey.
16:32Hey, judge.
16:34How was your day?
16:35I know the jury is gonna come in with a guilty verdict,
16:38and I'm all prepared to go easy on the sentence
16:40because that's the merciful kind of gal I am.
16:43And I'm feeling real good about my lenient disposition.
16:45And then they find him innocent,
16:47and now I'm in the mood for something fried.
16:51Mr. Cloerkey, a double ice cream sundae with extra fudge and nuts.
16:55You got it.
16:56It's for Cory.
16:57His algebra test was today.
16:59I never helped him.
17:01He may flunk.
17:02He may blame me.
17:04Oh, that sweet little boy.
17:07Nicole, it's my job to know people,
17:10and you have nothing to worry about.
17:20I may have to find another line of work.
17:27Everything's fine.
17:29It's over.
17:30And I'm fine.
17:33Sixty questions on the test, and I answered three.
17:39But now I can look to the future.
17:41It's not much of a future because you never really bounce back
17:45from failing seventh grade math.
17:48But after repeating junior high school three or four times,
17:52I'm sure there's some fine Central American college I can get into,
17:55like Fasco de Gamma Tech.
17:59This is mine, right?
18:01It's got extra fudge and nuts.
18:07Thanks.
18:10Hi, everybody.
18:12Where have you been?
18:13I was at the gym.
18:14I just couldn't leave.
18:15Everybody was watching Michael and Joey.
18:17The World Series of The Loft.
18:19It was tied two to two.
18:21I stayed for the whole fifth game.
18:23They were playing?
18:24Yes, and I can't wait to find out who wins the way they were going at it.
18:28It's gonna be whoever's still standing.
18:35Oh!
18:36You guys!
18:38You guys!
18:40You were awesome!
18:42It wasn't a match.
18:44It was...
18:44It was a war.
18:45It was a battle of the gladiators!
18:51Can you move?
18:52No.
18:53They live here now.
18:55I've never seen so much sweat on the court.
18:56They're out there with squeegees right now.
19:01Legendary!
19:02You know, I came here to play tonight, but...
19:04I mean, I'm not going to because...
19:07I have just seen this sport at its ultimate!
19:12Thank you!
19:14I'm going into the steam room now and be proud to be a man.
19:22Thank you!
19:28I don't admire hitting the steam room myself.
19:31Oh, good.
19:32Bring me some, will you?
19:34Ow!
19:35Ow!
19:37Ow!
19:39Ow!
19:41Ow!
19:42Oh.
19:43Ooh.
19:44Hey, Joe.
19:46What?
19:48I'm 30 years old.
19:50Yep.
19:52These are my arms.
19:55And these are my legs.
19:58You know what?
19:59What?
20:00I look pretty damn good.
20:03Especially this arm.
20:05You know why?
20:06Why?
20:06Because this is the arm that holds the hand, that held the racket, that scored the point, that beat you,
20:13Joe!
20:15I am the champion of the world!
20:19And you...
20:21Are a graveyard head!
20:42Look at that body wheel.
20:44Yeah.
20:45What the hell were brittle?
20:47Ha!
20:48Yeah.
20:50Hey, we are big.
20:51We are strong.
20:52We got hair!
20:53We are men!
20:55Yeah!
21:02Hi.
21:03Hi, honey.
21:05You know...
21:07You're not supposed to be in here.
21:08All right.
21:09Michael, what are you doing?
21:11What are you doing?
21:12Look at you!
21:13You're sweating, you're breathing hard, you're gonna have another heart attack!
21:15Sweetheart, I...
21:16I didn't have a heart attack.
21:18Hey, Nick, there's no danger.
21:19He...
21:19He's fine.
21:21Yeah, you told me.
21:22And he'll be dead in three months, because that's how it works.
21:25That's how what works?
21:26Don't worry, honey.
21:27The doctor says I'm fine.
21:28I just need a little rest, and then I'll be back on my feet.
21:31You know why I heard that before?
21:32The hospital my mother was in.
21:34They sent me out of the room then, too.
21:36That's what they call protecting the daughter.
21:38I just got you guys.
21:40I don't want to lose you for a long, long time.
21:43Sweetheart, I...
21:44I am really sorry about what happened to you then, but...
21:48The doctor really did tell me I'm okay.
21:51Really.
21:52In fact, he told me to get some exercise.
21:56Would I lie to you?
21:57You...
21:58You told me you weren't going to play racquetball.
22:02Would I lie to you twice?
22:05Nick, come on.
22:05We only just...
22:06We just said that to you because we knew you were upset.
22:08And we knew that it was okay to play.
22:10We didn't want you to worry.
22:12Just be honest with me, okay?
22:14Even if you think it's going to make me worry.
22:16Because I'd rather worry and know the truth.
22:19Nick, you are absolutely right, and we're wrong.
22:22I mean, I was wrong to even think that I could keep anything from you.
22:24And from now on, nothing but the truth, okay?
22:27Nothing but the truth, starting right now.
22:30Michael, I'll let you win.
22:34Yeah, right, right.
22:36As you were diving desperately, as my blistering serve rocketed past those graying temples...
22:41Hey, I would have had it if my racquet hadn't got caught in a flappier cheek.
22:45Oh, right.
22:45You want to go back out there, bud?
22:47Hey, rematch, bud.
22:48You're a...
22:49What?
22:51One more honest question.
22:53What?
22:53Are you going to keep arguing like this for years and years and years?
22:59And years.
23:02Good.
23:03Hit the showers.
23:11In is in?
23:16Here.
23:29Kind to go off.
23:31Got useful.
23:32I promote this.
23:32My mind.
23:32It's pretty good.
23:32Oh, harm path.
23:32Oh, not.
23:33Yeah.
23:33There.
23:38I'm walking.
23:40pulled out.
