Follow through, young man.

Follow through.

Are you and Mom still going to Barbados this year?

- Well, we're still deciding.

- Oh. Really?

There's a little problem

that has to be dealt with.

- Between you and Mom?

- No, no.

- At the firm.

- Oh.

There was an indictment last March.

There was an indictment of the firm?

No, of me, personally, no less.

It's nothing.

Some junior G-man playing Clarence Darrow.

But there's a trial date now.January 19.

- A trial?

- Yeah, so we have to work

everything out before then.

But bullshit, if you'll excuse the expression...

expands to fill the allotted time...

so now Barbados is up in the air.

Daddy!

Don't worry.

But if you happen to come up

with the next Harry Potter...

we may need it to pay the ganef lawyers.

- Over Friday for dinner, right?

- Yeah.

- I love you, Daddy.

- Love ya!

Beth?

Beth?

Adam!

I'm so sorry.

I just don't feel like any company tonight.

Oh, that's okay.

- Adam, I

- Shh-shh-shh!

Raccoon in Central Park?

That was so cool.

What are they doing here?

Foraging.

- How did you know where they'd be?

- They live here.

I used to come and watch them a lot.

It's quiet.

They don't really belong here,

you know, but here they are.

They're coming back around in a little while.

You wanna wait?

Yeah, sure.

Oh. Mr. Klieber.

Yes. That's all right. I startled you.

Yes.

I just wanted to tell you what a good job

you've done for us the last year and a half.

Well, that's good.

When your father explained your

When he explained your... things...

well, I had my my doubts,

but he was right.

A man of your background at the salary you're

getting has been a value to this company.

- Well, that's good.

- Yes.

But the world is changing.

You can't be the corner candy store anymore.

- You've got to compete.

- Candy store?

Adam, I've got to let you go.

But I will write you a recommendation

that will knock your socks off.

- L-Let me go?

- I'm truly sorry.

Yeah, but I I don't wanna go.

I haven't finished.

I have a bid, Adam. It's done.

- You found a better chip?

- Not better.

Cheaper.

Look, go home.

Talk it over with your dad.

- I'm sure he'll find you another job.

- No, my dad

Kelli has your severance.

It's been a pleasure working with you.

And I mean that sincerely. Good-bye, Adam.

Good-bye, Mr. Klieber.

Adam, dude. Sorry about that, man.

Don't think about it, bro.

Something will come up, man. I promise.

I'm so sorry, Adam.

See you around, okay?
