The truth of it is, he fired me.

All I've got is severance

pay and references.

I've got a job that pays $30,000 a year,

I own a 2-bedroom condominium,

I've got a $10,000 sports car,

I've got a wife and I got a 4-year-old kid

who thinks I'm god.

How's that?

That's terrific. That's fabulous.

Look, I was just trying to tell you that

I changed my mind about not liking you.

That's all.

Forget it.

I'm a bad investment.

And why do you say that?

Because the...

$30,000-a-year job went

in the toilet last year.

And the sports car needs an overhaul.

And my wife is an ex-wife,

who's suing me for back support.

My kid won't even talk to me on the phone.

What about your condominium?

Plastic,

like everything else.

Shall we?

Ok.

If it was my money and I was

going to buy this land,

first, I'd make sure they struck oil on it,

and then I'd still think twice.

Does that answer your question?

Ok.

Dan.

You got a button off your shirt.

If you got time, I always

carry a needle and thread.

I don't need any buttons.

This building here is gonna be torn down.

And the dreamland shores beach club

is gonna be constructed in its place.

It'll be the most beautiful

and modern club imaginable,

with every possible convenience.

If we all get into the tram,

now, where Charlie is,

we'll be off on our little tour.

Here we go.

NOW, DON'T FORGET,

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING,

JUST SHOUT THEM OUT.

WE'RE VERY INFORMAL HERE

AND THIS TOUR IS STRICTLY

FOR YOUR PLEASURE.

I THINK ALL OF YOU BOATING

ENTHUSIASTS WILL BE

INTERESTED IN THESE

PRESENTLY-AVAILABLE LOTS,

WHICH, AS YOU CAN SEE,

ARE CONVENIENTLY LOCATED

RIGHT NEXT TO THE MARINA.

ALL OF THE HOUSE LOTS YOU SEE HERE

WILL BE SOLD ON A FIRS COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS.

IF YOU SEE A LOT THAT APPEALS TO YOU,

JUST TELL CHARLIE OR ME

AND WE'LL GIVE YOU FIRST REFUSAL.

Larry, what do you think?

It's not what I think, it's

what daddy thinks, isn't it?

Honey, you know my father

only wants to help us...

Both of us.

He'd help us a lot more

if he'd leave us alone.

Then maybe he'd be satisfied

with what I could give you.

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT WE

HAVE CAREFULLY PRESERVED

THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF DREAMLAND SHORES.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE LONG WALKS

INTO THESE SECLUDED AREAS.

BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES

AND FRAGRANT FLOWERS.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE GOLF ENTHUSIASTS,

YOU'LL PROBABLY WANT TO BE SITUATED

OVERLOOKING THE 18-HOLE GOLF COURSE,

WHICH WILL SOON BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

AFTER WE STOP AT OUR PICNIC

AREA FOR REFRESHMENTS,

WE'LL GO ON AND LOOK AT SOME

OF THE INLAND PROPERTIES.

HERE WE ARE.

Be careful getting out, now.

Now, if we're really lucky,

we may get some glimpses of some of
