on him.

All I see on the news are stories

about kids on drugs and in gangs.

This young man

is a role model.

What's that?

All right.

Yes, ZZZZ Best.

Four Zs.

With four Zs.

Okay. Thank you. Goodbye.

Thank you, Grandma.

You're the best.

What, you can't stay

and visit?

I wish I could.

I've got so much to do.

But I'll come by later.

Can you make me some of that

spaghetti that you make so good?

With the meatballs, too.

I'm just so proud of my son.

He did this all himself.

Can you make sure

the sign is in the shot?

So, what's Barry's secret?

Well, he's always been

highly motivated.

Dad, stop.

No false modesty, son.

I'd like to take this opportunity

and offer anyone who's watching

a 50% discount if they

come down, right now.

I will clean

your carpets personally.

Dad will even help too! Do

you see what I'm talking about?

I mean, he's brilliant!

Barry Minkow.

Hey, Barry.

Yo, Barr!

Barry, my man!

Hey, carpet dude!

Hi.

Hey.

Well, do you like

your meal?

It was really good.

Are you ready to go?

Yeah.

I don't really like

horror movies that much,

but do you wanna see Blade

Runner with me this weekend?

Yeah? Awesome.

Two hundred and forty bucks!

Don't sweat it, man.

Business is good!

But you're doing this

every weekend.

Okay, will you look around you

for a second?

Dude,

I'm finally in. We are finally

in. It's totally worth it.

You can't do this to me.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Barry. Sit down.

We didn't realize

that you were underage.

In the state of California,

the signature card

that opens a checking account,

it's a legally

binding document.

It's a contract.

And you cannot sign

a legally binding

business check

if you're only 16.

Now, like I said, if you want to

get your father in here to co-sign...

My father?

It's my company, okay?

I started this thing,

not my dad.

You know this!

Barry, listen.

I'm not one

to stifle entrepreneurship.

I'm impressed with what you've

accomplished, believe me.

But this is the way

the system works.

Now, I have no choice but to

close your account immediately

and return

all outstanding checks.

You said you were

impressed by me. Right?

Then why can't you make

an exception for me?

I'm sorry, kid.

You've seen what I've done.

I really am. I wish it

didn't have to be this way.

But the rules are the rules.

You can't break the rules.

Look at me, kid.

I can't let you

bounce checks on me.

I know.

And I've been

lettin' you skate.

You owe me 800 bucks.

I know.

I know. Look, Victor, man,

you know I'm in trouble

with these checking accounts.

Okay? I would have to be crazy

to try to screw you.

I wouldn't even be in business
