worthless brother of yours

don't seem to stop by the house

too often anymore.

- Ralph is not worthless.

He's devoted his life to science.

- Science my ass.

He's over at "Research City"

with the rest of those

warped individuals

wasting the government's money.

- Let's not talk about Ralph.

He's not here to defend himself.

I noticed you put a parabolic dish

out in the front yard.

- Hell yes, we're talking about

satellite city, USA, son.

- We get a lot of that

foreign stuff too.

But Joe won't let me watch it.

He's afraid I might

get brainwashed.

- You know how those

communists are.

Let them on TV and first

thing you know,

they're looking right back at you

through the picture tube.

- And Joe won't even let me

watch them Mexican shows

and they're not even communist.

- Yeah, okay, they're Catholics.

What's the difference?

- I don't suppose you

invited me over here

to talk about the parabolic dish.

- Come on over and have a seat.

Kate, why don't you get Jeff a DP?

- Okay-

- Jeff, I wanna jump

into this head first.

- Jump

- I need to talk to you

about your future, son.

- Listen, we have this

talk all the time.

I'm not your son.

My name is Jeff, my

parents are dead.

- Ever since your parents died

I've felt responsible for you.

Your father was a like a

brother to me.

- My father was your brother.

- Well, I guess that it

explains it then.

- So what do you want

me to do now?

- Now son, you can't go

around taking pictures

for that sorry excuse of a

newspaper all your life.

- Uncle Joe, I'm an artist.

I'm doing what I have to do.

- When you're gonna learn

that art is sh*t?

Nobody understands it.

I shoulda never bought you

that lnstamatic camera

when you were six years old.

- Well, I wish you could understand

but obviously you can't.

- So just keep your seat.

I haven't told you what I

wanna tell you yet.

I want you to come to work for me.

- Plowing fields and milking

cows just isn't for me.

I could never express myself

doing those things.

- Express yourself?

I thought that was

something you'd outgrow?

Now son, some day all of

this could be yours.

This house, the land,

the cow.

- What about the parabolic dish?

Are you gonna throw that in too?

- I don't think you understand.

You're either gonna work for me

or you lose your inheritance.

How about that, son?

- Well,

as long as you put it that way.

How long do I have to

make a decision?

- What time is it right now?

- Jeff, why don't you come over

for supper this evening?

- Yeah, okay.

- We need to give the boy time to

make his own decision.

- Okay, son.

I guess your aunt is right.

So we'll see you

around five o'clock
