00:00Tonight, on Wiseguy.
00:02Frank, your wife.
00:04What's the matter?
00:05Something has to be done.
00:07They threatened to call the police.
00:09That's my father.
00:10He's cantankerous, he's unruly, he's rude, treats women like squeeze toys.
00:14Shove your concern.
00:16I'm sure we can reach a compromise.
00:18Compromise this!
00:19If you'll sign the release form at my office, you can take him with you.
00:22When you're going to get back with your wife and son?
00:25I'll handle my own problems, Pop.
00:27I'm not leaving this house till you get your life straightened down.
01:22I'll handle my own problems.
01:48And as these figures indicate, deficits for the first half of the fiscal year are grossly disproportionate
01:54with projections that must be addressed.
01:57I would like this discussion to proceed in a confabulatory manner.
02:01All regional directors will present their budget reports and fiscal requests for the third quarter.
02:07As you can see, field expenditures are running rampant.
02:10The confluence of escalating cost indices relative to broad-based intelligence operations does not indicate an equitable return for dollars
02:20spent.
02:21While our annual budget, by comparison with other intelligence services, is mere chicken feed...
02:26Oh, look, it's him.
02:29Frank?
02:31Your wife.
02:32She says it's urgent.
02:36Jenny, is it Drake? What's the matter?
02:38Something has to be done.
02:40They threaten to call the police.
02:43You know, first of all, Jenny, I'm sure they're exaggerating.
02:47Second of all, I'm in an important meeting.
02:49I'm in the middle of something here, too, Frank.
02:51This is not fair to me.
02:53You know, what the hell's that noise in the background?
02:55Will you for once put your family ahead of your work?
02:58Take responsibility.
03:03Can we help?
03:05No.
03:07I'm sorry, sir.
03:08It's personal.
03:15Wait a minute.
03:16You gotta go, Vince.
03:16Where the hell is the elevator?
03:18I'll go with you.
03:19Listen, I can handle it, all right?
03:20Well, Frank.
03:21You just back off me!
03:27I'm sorry, Vince.
03:29I'm sorry.
03:30I'm just suffocating here.
03:32What's the matter with you?
03:33It's my father.
03:34Your father?
03:36You told me your father was dead.
03:38No, my father isn't dead.
03:39He is alive.
03:40He is very much alive.
03:48Tuna surprise.
03:50The surprise is anybody can eat this.
03:52Mr. McPike, that meal was prepared by a trained nutritionist.
03:56Then feed it to a trained seal.
03:58We want real food.
04:00Yeah.
04:00We still got tea.
04:03Yeah.
04:03Listen, you aging delinquent.
04:05You are disrupting everyone's schedule.
04:08This is lunch session.
04:10Lunch session?
04:11Snap session.
04:12What are we?
04:13In diapers?
04:15Yeah.
04:16No offense, Gertie.
04:19Come on, Big Mike.
04:20Chill out.
04:21Open the doors.
04:22Would you eat this, Grohl?
04:25Not in a bit.
04:27Don't we pay good money to live here?
04:30Yeah.
04:31Can't we eat real food whenever we want?
04:34Yeah.
04:35Sleep whenever we want.
04:37Yeah.
04:39And make love whenever we want.
04:42Yeah.
04:44Woo!
04:45Woo!
04:46Woo!
04:47Woo!
04:49Woo!
04:49We just won't come out, Mr. Tower.
04:53Mike, I want to assure you the staff understands and sympathizes.
04:56Your concerns are our concerns.
04:58Shove your concern.
04:59If you'll unlock the door, I'm sure we can reach a compromise.
05:03Compromise this!
05:04Yeah!
05:06Yeah!
05:06Yeah!
05:07Yeah!
05:07Yeah!
05:08Yeah!
05:09Yeah!
05:09Yeah!
05:09We want food!
05:10We want food!
05:12We want food!
05:14We want food!
05:15We want food!
05:17We want food!
05:19We want food!
05:20We want food!
05:22We want food!
05:23We want food!
05:25We want food!
05:25We want food!
05:25Friendship Grove didn't authorize that order.
05:28I did!
05:28Pay the man!
05:29It's $47.50 without tip.
05:31Take a hike!
05:32I'm not paying for it.
05:33BAM tower and I'll open the doors.
05:36No way.
05:39We want pizza.
05:41We want pizza.
05:43We want pizza.
05:46We want pizza.
05:48We want pizza.
05:50We want pizza.
05:52We want pizza.
05:53We want pizza.
05:56We want pizza.
05:57All right.
05:58I'll be back in a minute.
06:00Frank, I can handle it.
06:03I pay two grand a month, and when the going gets rough,
06:07you call the cops.
06:08It's a police state.
06:15Why did you call him?
06:19Open the door.
06:38Come on.
06:39Are you the police?
06:40No, he's not the cops.
06:41He's a fed.
06:42And the best a guy could do for his son.
06:47It's about time you came to visit the old man.
06:51He has your eyes.
06:53Yeah, all four of them.
06:57Pop, you want to sit down while I sort this out?
07:01Francis here likes to give orders.
07:04I'm Nelson Tower, chief administrator here at Friendship Grove.
07:08Can we speak privately?
07:10I'm not leaving until somebody pays for these pies.
07:13How much you say the pizza's cost?
07:1547.50 plus.
07:16I got it.
07:18It's worth every penny.
07:22I'm a little short, son.
07:46End of riot.
07:48If, uh, you'll sign a release form in my office,
07:51you can take them with you.
07:53Release form?
07:58You think you could stay out of trouble for five minutes
08:00while I take care of this?
08:10You mean to tell me that this is about pizza?
08:13I mean, I thought people were pretty much on their own here.
08:17A piece of pizza's not as benign as it appears.
08:19Your father is clearly able to handle this kind of a diet,
08:22but not all of our residents are so lucky.
08:24Their digestive systems are in a phase of deterioration.
08:28Something as harmless as a slice of pepperoni
08:31can accelerate that process.
08:33All right, look.
08:34I will talk to him.
08:34I promise there won't be any more pizza riots.
08:37I wish it were so simple.
08:38I've been reading your father's records
08:40of the other facilities that he stayed in.
08:42The pattern of behavior is the same,
08:45only now it's getting worse.
08:46What do you mean?
08:47He's harassing the female population.
08:50What do you mean?
08:55Well, a little sexual activity at his age,
08:58I mean, it's a healthy thing, isn't it?
08:59Many of our women are extremely vulnerable.
09:03Recent widows all alone in the world.
09:05They crave affection.
09:07Your father is preying on them.
09:09Do the women complain?
09:13I'm sorry.
09:14That's not the major problem.
09:16He disappears for days at a time.
09:19He's free to come and go as he wants, of course,
09:21but we're still responsible for him.
09:24And he sets a bad example.
09:26Oh, that's business as usual.
09:28Mr. McPike,
09:30there is a nine-month waiting list
09:33to get into Friendship Grove.
09:34Your father does not need the service we provide.
09:38But clearly, he doesn't want to live alone.
09:42I'm his only family.
09:44Sometimes I work 24 hours a day.
09:46My job takes me out of town for weeks at a time.
09:50The world moves too fast.
09:52There's not enough time.
09:54That's why we have a nine-month waiting list.
09:56In any event,
09:59we're not equipped to handle him.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:06Some old dude.
10:08I'm gonna miss his wildness.
10:12Life will be easier without him.
10:14Yeah, easier for who?
10:15Tonight I'm gonna pay the price for those pizza pies.
10:18Chugging in bedpans or bromos.
10:20Gonna get ugly.
10:21Where is he?
10:24Sayin' his goodbyes.
10:26You take care of yourself.
10:32Shrewsbury's not the end of the world.
10:34Right round the corner of the Red Bank.
10:35Huh?
10:37It's real simple.
10:40Just hop down 35.
10:43You'll find it.
10:45Find what, Adele?
10:46My daughter's house.
10:48She's taking me in.
10:52The one you hate?
10:53Familiarity breeds contempt.
10:55But she's the only one who can do my hair right.
11:01So...
11:02Come see me.
11:10Bye, Mike.
11:19It's the last of his things.
11:27What am I gonna do with this weed?
11:30Let's hit the road.
11:31Come on.
11:43Ah, he's sleeping like a baby.
11:46If he can't stand all those rules, why doesn't he just live alone?
11:50Who's he gonna torment?
11:52You know, three years ago he sold everything he had and checked into an old-age home.
11:57Oh, thank God.
11:58I'm off the hook.
12:00Now I'm in hell.
12:03Well, it's pretty calm right now.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Just give him a few miles.
12:08This is nothing new, Vince.
12:10The man has an authority problem.
12:12He's gone through a few dozen careers in a lifetime.
12:15Railroad man.
12:17Wildcat driller.
12:18Worked on a tugboat.
12:20Even had a trucking company one time.
12:21Went up against the union.
12:22Almost got our house burned down.
12:24Jack of all trades, master of none, huh?
12:26Oh, no.
12:27Master of all trades.
12:30That's why I won't listen to anybody.
12:32Big Mike McPike.
12:34Now, living with Big Mike was like living in a bowling alley.
12:37He'd take issue with anything just to start an argument.
12:40He's belligerent.
12:41He's cantankerous.
12:42He's unruly.
12:43He's rude.
12:43Treats women like squeeze toys.
12:45Meaner than a snake.
12:46Yeah, he's one hell of a guy.
12:49Hey, you can't just throw the guy out in the street, Frank.
12:51Huh.
12:52Well, I'll tell you what.
12:54I'll help you find a place for him.
12:56Oh, I got the time.
12:58Oh, it's my problem.
13:00I'll take care of it.
13:01Why don't you let him bunk with you for a while?
13:04You hate living alone.
13:05How much space could he take up?
13:06My old man fills up a room pretty damn quick.
13:10Vince, you and I didn't grow up the same way.
13:13With you, everything's family.
13:14It's hugs.
13:15It's kisses.
13:15You go over to Mama's house for sauce on Sundays.
13:18I didn't have that.
13:19I wish I had that.
13:19I wish I had just one little bit of that.
13:21But I didn't.
13:22Not even close.
13:23And the reason for that is to sleep there in the back seat.
13:27Where am I?
13:30You're in my car, Pop.
13:33Who's this guy?
13:34This is my friend Vince.
13:35You met him.
13:36How you doing?
13:37Like a hood?
13:38Dad?
13:40Francis ever arrest you?
13:41Every chance he gets.
13:43I'm gonna encourage him.
13:46Where are we going?
13:47You're gonna stay with me for a few days.
13:51He's staying too?
13:52No, Vince is not staying.
13:54We're taking him to the train station.
14:07It's too bad you shook the hood.
14:09At least he was...
14:10He was fine.
14:15This isn't your house.
14:18You've never been here before, Dad.
14:21Where's the boy?
14:22Asleep?
14:24Jenny.
14:25Wake him up.
14:26I'd like to see everybody.
14:27Jenny and I are not together anymore.
14:30What the hell does that mean?
14:31That means we're separated.
14:33It's a long and volatile story.
14:35And frankly, it's none of your business.
14:36What'd you do?
14:37Run her off?
14:39I don't want to go into it, Pop.
14:41How long's it been?
14:43Oh, 15 months, two weeks, give or take a couple days.
14:46Not that it bothers me.
14:49How come this is the first time I'm hearing about it?
14:51It's my family.
14:52I'll take care of it.
14:55How's the boy?
14:57Drake's a good kid.
14:58He rolls with the punches the best he can.
15:01That's something to be proud of?
15:04You know, not everybody rolls along in their life like you do, Pop.
15:07Some people aren't afraid to stop and face the music.
15:10I've never been afraid of anything in my life.
15:12No, God forbid.
15:13No, no thanks.
15:14Listen, we have a big day tomorrow.
15:15What do you say I show you your room?
15:17How could you let a great girl like that get away from you?
15:21I knew this was going to happen.
15:23You're so damn full of yourself with that job of yours.
15:27What are you doing?
15:28God's work?
15:29You know, just this one time must accept the fact
15:32that you don't know what the hell you're talking about
15:33and let it go at that.
15:37It's too late for this conversation in more ways than one.
15:42Jenny was the cutest thing you ever brought home.
15:45She loved you to pieces.
15:48Not that I ever could figure out why.
15:53All right, you can take the bed.
15:55The hangers are in the closet.
15:57I want to know what happened.
15:59Why, Dad?
15:59So you can make some more absurd accusations?
16:01So I can do something to help get her back for you.
16:04That's not possible, Dad, even for the invincible.
16:08Forty-three years old and I'm still fixing your messes?
16:12Forty-four.
16:13Girl knew how to have a good time and you broke her spirit.
16:17Bedroom gets cold at night.
16:19I don't want your bedroom.
16:21The floor is good enough for me.
16:22Yeah, well, not for your back.
16:24My back's the strongest thing in this house.
16:27Huh?
16:28Yeah, Pop.
16:30You got the back, I got the spine.
16:32You could have learned a thing or two from that girl.
16:36Life is not all fun and games.
16:38No, and it's no damn master's thesis either.
16:41You complicate everything.
16:43Leave me alone.
16:44She knew how to let her hair down and enjoy life and you ran her off.
16:47She is an alcoholic, you stupid bastard.
16:50The woman almost died.
16:55That's fine.
16:56No, no, no, no.
17:03It's fine.
17:03Beautiful.
17:14Phone-times go.
17:15I know that.
17:16I'm your father and I could have helped.
17:19What there? What? What could you have done that I didn't try?
17:22She was sick.
17:24Not Jenny. Yeah, Jenny. Sweet, adorable Jenny.
17:28She crawled into a bottle and she wouldn't come out for anyone.
17:31Not for me, not for her son, and for damn sure not Milo Men and indestructible Mike McPike.
17:41Let me tell you something.
17:44The only thing that saved her was a liver transplant, and I had to beg her to have it.
17:48She wanted to die, Dad. She welcomed it.
17:51And when she got back on her feet again, she turned me out.
17:54She had a new liver, her new life, and too much resentment for me.
17:59I put my job, I put everything I believed in on the line to save her, and she turned me
18:05out.
18:07And it eats at me, Dad. It eats at me. It eats at me every minute of every day.
18:13But there you are.
18:33You're now under theism.
18:40You're getting away.
18:41I'm not sure it's not my wife.
18:44You're getting away from me.
18:44You're getting away from me.
18:46You're not.
18:48You're getting away from me.
18:48Hmm. Burn you some?
18:51No.
18:53What are you, worried about your arteries?
18:56I just want cereal.
18:57Are you worried about your arteries?
18:59I've been eating this same breakfast for 70-odd years,
19:02and I'm as healthy as a horse.
19:05Yes, dear.
19:06You're out of beer.
19:08Yeah.
19:21That looks real tasty. You're a damn barn animal.
19:26Look, Pop, we're gonna be living together for a while.
19:30I wanna be out of here as soon as I can.
19:32Yeah, right. Well, right now you're here.
19:35What do you say we start over again?
19:41I'm sorry about last night.
19:45What are you doing about getting back with Jenny?
19:49That case is closed. I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
19:53Besides, we're talking about your life.
19:55Now, what do you wanna do?
19:57I thought we'd drive down to Atlantic City
19:59and take in a couple of casinos and see a show.
20:03Maybe Vinnie would like to tag along.
20:05No.
20:06Now, I am gonna take a couple days off work
20:08so I can get you relocated.
20:09We don't have the time. We have to move fast.
20:12Oh, crime will be running rampant on the eastern seaboard,
20:16because I need a home.
20:18I made a list of homes we can call after breakfast.
20:22You know what's wrong with you?
20:23You're a control freak. That's why you're a cop.
20:26You like to tell people how to live.
20:28That's why your wife booted your ass.
20:31We're talking about finding you a place to live.
20:33I'll find my own damn place to live.
20:36What I wanna know is when you're gonna get back with your wife and son.
20:40I'll handle my own problems, Pop.
20:42I can handle my own problems.
20:44When are you gonna dump that holier-than-thou malarkey?
20:47That sanctimonious attitude is what's got you living alone here in Shrewsbury.
20:54What, are you an expert?
20:55Why should I listen to anything you say?
20:57Your track record with relationships flat out sucks.
21:01Could be.
21:03But I'm not leaving this house till you get your life straightened down.
21:32It's about time.
21:37Hey, Frank.
21:38Vince.
21:44Come on with you, Frank. You look like a wreck.
21:46I am a wreck.
21:47Now listen, stay in the house. Don't let him out of your sight.
21:50Okay. What'd Johnny say?
21:52A Wonder Woman can spare me a moment of her precious time if I come now.
21:57No problem.
21:59Vince.
22:00Don't let him know you're watching him.
22:02Frank, Frank, that's what I do, remember?
22:06All right, when you...
22:07Oh, hey, all right.
22:10Now we're the Three Musketeers again.
22:12I'll be back in a little while.
22:15I thought we were going on.
22:16We will, Pop. We'll go out later.
22:19I'll see you later, Frank.
22:20Yeah.
22:23How you been, Mike?
22:38What's this for?
22:39That's what they pay babysitters nowadays. You're relieved of your duty.
22:44Talking about babysitting. I'm here to watch a football game.
22:46Yeah?
22:47Where did you come from? Where do you live?
22:50Brooklyn.
22:51You're going to have TVs in Brooklyn?
22:55You're really going to waste the afternoon watching a boob tube?
23:00Yeah, it's going to be a great game.
23:01So we ought to watch it in a bar.
23:04Frank, watch this the way it happened.
23:06Are you Frank's yes man?
23:09Look, it'll be great. We'll watch the game. We'll get some Chinese food at halftime.
23:13Gee, let's live it up.
23:28Yes, may I help you?
23:30Who are you?
23:32I'm Wade. I work here.
23:33Doing what?
23:34I specialize in the preparation of Japanese and American Indian cuisine.
23:38Can I ask who you are?
23:40Oh yeah, sure.
23:47Hi, Jenny.
23:48All right, Frank. What do you want to talk to me about?
23:51You think we can talk outside?
23:53I can't leave this. It'll congeal.
23:56I need to talk to you alone.
24:00All right. Just let me finish this. Wait for me outside. You're in the way.
24:13You call that hitting? They play like they got hernies.
24:17What are you talking about? You're still scraping the guy off the turf.
24:21It's nothing compared to the players in my day.
24:25Sam Hough, Ray Nitschke. They played like murders out on parole.
24:29They wouldn't even make the first cut today.
24:32Your generation's a bunch of prima donnas.
24:36The athletes today are scientifically trained. There's no comparison.
24:40They're bigger, they're stronger, they're faster.
24:42No comparison is right. Today they get multimillion dollar contracts and go on the disabled list every time they sprain
24:50a little pinky.
24:52They should be wearing miniskirts.
24:55Well, it's almost halftime. I'll order at lunch.
24:57Now, you see, that's what's wrong with today's youth.
25:00They want everything handed to them.
25:02Get all the stimulation they need transmitted into their homes instead of living a life of their own.
25:08Look at us.
25:09Two healthy men sitting here watching other men do it.
25:13We are not going out.
25:16Go ahead. Have another beer.
25:19I got you by what? 40 years?
25:22All right. I'll order lunch now.
25:23I'm still quite the man you are.
25:25All right, Mike. Whatever you say.
25:28I can prove it.
25:30Forget it.
25:32What about a little test of strength, huh?
25:37What the hell are you doing?
25:41All you gotta do is pull my head off the floor far enough to make the quarters slide off.
25:48What, are you kidding me?
25:50I got 50 bucks that says you can't do it.
25:55Mike, I don't want your money.
25:57You win. We watch the second half. I win. You take me to lunch.
26:02Where?
26:04Someplace close.
26:05Just out to lunch, right?
26:06One hour stops. We'll be back before Francis knows a thing.
26:11I gotta get out of this place.
26:14All right. Fine. Fine.
26:27All right.
26:27All right. This time for sure.
26:32Fine.
26:45You could use another coat of weatherproof in here.
26:48Yeah. It's on Drake's list of chores.
26:50Good.
26:52He was a big help when we built it.
26:55So, I see you finally found what the room with the oven is for, huh?
27:00Not that there was ever anyone to cook for.
27:04You know, I realized that the alcohol was really blunting my senses.
27:08I haven't had this much energy in years.
27:10Business is great and everything's falling into place.
27:13Well, that's just peachy.
27:16Yeah. It is. And I'd like to keep it that way.
27:19All right. You just deigned to give me a moment of your time.
27:22I'll tell you what I have to say and then you can get right back to it.
27:27Now, Big Mike is staying with me until I can find him a new home.
27:31And?
27:32And I'm getting to it.
27:34And he's got it in his mind that my life is messed up because we're separated
27:38and he's not gonna leave till we're back together again.
27:42So, I thought that if it appeared a reconciliation were taking place that...
27:48Frank!
27:49You know what? I would rather crawl across broken glass than ask you for anything.
27:54But anything short of bloodshed, I don't know how I'd get him out of my house.
27:57I can't lie like that. Half of my life was a charade, Frank.
28:03I speak from experience. Delusions don't help anyone.
28:07Let me tell you something. It is his delusion. It is not my delusion.
28:12He thinks he can help us. His whole life he's deluded himself into thinking he has the Midas touch.
28:17That he can swoop down like the conquering hero and make everything all right again.
28:21He can't fix us, Jenny. You know it. And believe me, I know it. The problem is he doesn't.
28:29You know what?
28:30Hey, you let me tell you something! You are in my kitchen! I paid for that kitchen!
28:36Cream or half and a half for the base?
28:41Half and half is great. It's great.
28:45I gotta go.
28:47Jenny?
28:47Jenny?
28:55Please.
29:04Here's one dinner. I'm not asking you for the world.
29:14One dinner.
29:28I'll start ataults, your drink.
29:31One dinner, one dinner.
29:36Two dinner and dinner,
29:45Hey, cutie.
29:50Mike, why don't we order some lunch, huh?
29:52Huh?
29:53Yeah, sure.
29:54What about a pitcher of beer?
30:06I thought you were broke.
30:08Emergency reserve.
30:13Why don't you ease up on the cash?
30:15I believe in supporting the arts.
30:23How about dancing some of that over this way?
30:26Amateur night's Thursday, cowboy.
30:28She knows a good time when she sees it.
30:33Why don't you take the old man back to the nursing home?
30:36Hey, why don't you watch your mom?
30:37You keep talking like that.
30:39And you won't make it to the golden years.
30:42He's not afraid of you, candy asses.
30:44Why are you weird?
30:45Then take your best shot.
30:46Let's just calm down.
30:48Okay, Mike, let's get the hell out of here, huh?
30:50It's not worth it.
30:51Kid, you're right.
30:52It's not.
30:54It's all we got.
31:10It's all we got.
31:25Vince?
31:35Thanks a lot, Frank.
31:38He got you with the quarter trick, didn't he?
31:47Dad, Drake, dinner's ready.
31:51It's wonderful, kid, as always.
31:54I'm hungry as a bear.
31:59Well, there's plenty, Mike.
32:01So don't be shy.
32:02Yeah, I love home-cooked food.
32:07Have I seen you soon, Grandpa?
32:10You can count on it, pal.
32:11Wait a second.
32:12Where are you going?
32:13I'm going to the rink with the guys.
32:14No, you're not, sports shoes.
32:16You come over here and sit down and eat dinner with your grandfather.
32:19Come on, let him go.
32:21A bunch of old folks sitting around talking.
32:23What kind of fun is that for a kid?
32:27Dad?
32:28Uh...
32:29Let him go.
32:31Let him see his old pals.
32:33Just be home early.
32:34Oh, well.
32:42Al, this wasn't a lot of work.
32:44No trouble at all.
32:46She's one in a million, Frank.
32:48One in a million, Dad.
32:49I've always said that.
32:50So?
32:51Well, then you two are going to get back together, huh?
32:57Well, Mike, we have a lot of things to work through.
33:00We're just taking it one step at a time.
33:02Yeah, that's the way to do it.
33:05As long as there's progress.
33:06There's progress.
33:08Well, when are you going to start moving back in?
33:12Soon.
33:13How soon?
33:15Soon.
33:15It's hard to put a date on a thing like that, Dad.
33:17Peas?
33:18Month?
33:19Or two months?
33:27Mike.
33:28Don't say it, kid.
33:30I know lip service when I hear it.
33:32This dinner's a sham.
33:35Not that I don't appreciate a good meal.
33:39Hey, don't blame her.
33:40It was my idea.
33:41I can figure that.
33:43Yeah, it was a scam, Dad.
33:45But you see, we did it for you.
33:46You know, you're dropping my lap out of one of your disappearing acts,
33:49and you expect everything to be just the way you remembered it.
33:52I'm a kid.
33:53You have to lie to me?
33:54No.
33:55You see, the world goes on.
33:57Things change.
33:58Some things get better.
33:59Some things get worse.
34:00Jenny, we got worse.
34:01We don't need your prodding, your coaching,
34:03or holding me hostage in my house.
34:06Frank.
34:07No, don't Frank me.
34:09You know, I'm really tired of taking it on the chin for trying to do what's right.
34:13What's right, according to you?
34:15I am not the sole creator of crap in this house.
34:17For 19 years, you leaned on me, and I let you do it,
34:20because everything you did led me to believe that's what you wanted.
34:24I don't think this is the time.
34:25It is the time.
34:26The only time we talk is when I drop Drake off or pick him up.
34:29I agreed to have dinner, not cater your epiphany.
34:34New concept's catering.
34:35The only new concept here is that you're sober.
34:38I don't need this.
34:40My life works now.
34:42You just traded one compulsion for another.
34:44Quit jumping on her!
34:46You stay out of this!
34:48I'm still your father.
34:50You were a booming voice that came and went with the prevailing wind.
34:53You and your mother always had food on the table and clothes on your back.
34:57So paying the light bill fulfills your responsibilities, Pop?
35:00You turned out all right.
35:02No, no, I'm not.
35:04You look at me.
35:04I'm a mess.
35:05I'm 44 years old.
35:06My wife doesn't have time.
35:08My son doesn't respect me.
35:09And I just have an annoying acquaintance with my father.
35:12You should think you're lucky stars.
35:14I didn't want you to turn out like me, bouncing around, jumping from job to job.
35:20You saved the confession.
35:21After 40 years, I don't give a damn.
35:23Well, you better give a damn, boy.
35:26You're not a quitter.
35:27You never were!
35:29You two still have time.
35:31I don't want time.
35:33I didn't quit my marriage, Jenny.
35:36And I'm tired of groveling trying to save it.
35:39I admit defeat.
35:41All right.
35:42All right.
35:43It's my fault.
35:45I am the one who walked.
35:46I'm the reason you guys are yelling at each other.
35:49Now, can we eat this, please?
35:52He must have done something wrong to lose a good woman like you.
35:56You are a good provider, Frank, and you are a good father.
35:58I don't want to ever hear you say that about Drake again.
36:00He worships the ground you walk on.
36:03The breakdown was between you and me.
36:06Drake is an innocent who is not siding with anyone.
36:10Where are you going?
36:12This talk's going nowhere, and I'm going with it.
36:14Dad?
36:15I'll be out in the car when you're done.
36:18Oh, go on, Pop. Quit it again.
36:19I'm not quitting. I'm defeated.
36:28You guys are hopeless.
36:33Frank, Drake loves you.
36:35You guys have a lot of years to work out what's wrong between you.
36:41And it's not too late for you and your father, either.
36:45No.
36:47On that one, I do admit defeat.
36:49It has been failed to break down.
36:49You guys are already dead.
36:54It has been a suspect.
36:55It has been another suspect.
36:59It doesn't hurt you.
37:01But I have to sue you.
37:03It has been one of us.
37:09No, he's been a suspect.
37:12You guys are in a suspect.
37:14All right.
37:15The case of Aden is a suspect.
37:30I want to get going before traffic gets bad.
37:38All right, let's go.
37:40Rise and shine.
37:42Dad.
37:51Dad?
38:25Jenny, it's Frank.
38:26Have you seen Dad?
38:27Uh, no.
38:28What's wrong?
38:29Oh, I don't know.
38:30He must have gone out early this morning.
38:32Well, he hasn't shown up here.
38:34All right.
38:35If you hear from me, can you give me a call?
38:36I will.
38:37You too.
38:42Oh, Pop.
38:46Another disappearing act.
38:50Hello?
38:53Who?
38:54It was by luck I remembered him mentioning your name and where you lived.
38:58I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Miss Tillshaw.
39:00I just hope your father's all right.
39:02He rang the doorbell.
39:04When I answered the door, he didn't recognize me at all.
39:07Wouldn't even come in the house.
39:09I didn't wake him up.
39:11I thought, as long as he's sleeping...
39:14I appreciate the phone call.
39:22Pop.
39:24Pop.
39:27What the hell are you doing here?
39:29Give me your hand.
39:31Come on.
39:32Come on.
39:47What's your coat?
40:00Oh, thanks.
40:09How long's this been going on?
40:11You're making too much of it.
40:13You end up 40 miles away, don't know how you got there,
40:16and I'm making too much out of it.
40:19How long, Dad?
40:22Off and on for a while now.
40:25You happy?
40:26What happens? Do you get confused?
40:28Do you black out?
40:31I just...
40:34I just start out in one direction and end up in the other.
40:39I never stop to examine it.
40:43Maybe you should.
40:45Why?
40:46I know what it is.
40:47I'm getting old.
40:50Maybe it's not that simple.
40:52Maybe there's something you could do.
40:53You could see a specialist.
40:54I don't need a doctor to tell me what it is.
40:56I know what it is.
41:00It's the beginning of the end.
41:02The end is where we're all headed.
41:07I'm all right.
41:17Maybe you should stay with me for a while.
41:21We'd end up killing each other.
41:26Yeah, we probably would.
41:30I don't want anything to happen to you.
41:35You're my dad.
41:42I think we should find me a place, don't you, Frank?
41:46I can be a hell of a lot of work.
41:48We could get somebody to come in.
41:52Frank, it's better this way.
41:54You've got your life such as it is.
41:56I've got mine.
41:57I operate better in my own environment.
42:02But the ratio of ladies is more in my favor.
42:07Don't smile, Frank.
42:09I hate it when you do that.
42:15Look at this place.
42:16How do you expect me to live in a dump like this?
42:19Quietly, I hope.
42:20There, that's just about do it.
42:22Closet's too small.
42:23Now, the place shows promise.
42:25It's a hellhole like the rest of the traps.
42:28Like throwing money away.
42:32Well, at least you won't be living halfway across the state.
42:35Not that I've ever been invited.
42:39Dad, you are invited any time you would like to come.
42:42Just give me a little warning.
42:45Mr. McPike?
42:46Yes?
42:46Yes?
42:49I believe she's referring to me, Frances.
42:53You must be the new neighbor.
42:55I'm Georgia.
42:56I'm right next door.
42:58Yeah.
43:00Michael McPike.
43:02If you're an example of the scenery around here,
43:04I've obviously made a very good decision.
43:11Stop by sometime.
43:17I hate it when they throw themselves at me.
43:23Yes, sir.
43:27Well, Dad.
43:35Frances.
43:38You take care of yourself.
43:41Yeah.
43:47You're saving, Frances.
43:49I'm not dying.
43:56You get out of here before you give me indigestion.
44:12I just wanted to call, and thank you for your help.
44:15It's okay, Frank.
44:16How's he doing?
44:19Well, he's settled, or as much as that's possible.
44:22Do you like his new home?
44:23Well, you know, too many rules.
44:25Food's lousy.
44:26Not enough women.
44:28He's in his element.
44:31Well, I'm glad it worked out.
44:32Must be nice to have things back to normal, huh?
44:35Yeah.
44:37I thank you for dinner.
44:41I'll talk to you soon.
44:44Okay.
44:47Okay.
44:48Okay.
44:57What?
44:58$134.
45:12Hi, sailor.
45:14I'm glad you called.
45:16We're gonna have fun.
45:17I'm naked.
45:18Are you?
45:19Yeah.
45:50We're gonna have fun.
45:53We're gonna have fun.
46:05We're gonna have fun.
46:08We're gonna have fun.
46:08We're gonna have fun.
46:08We're gonna have fun.
46:09We're gonna have fun.
46:10We're gonna have fun.
46:11We're gonna have fun.
46:12We're gonna have fun.
46:15We're gonna have fun.
