Where is it?

From Hollywood,

The Tonight Show, star...

I am talking about your potential.

You're not a C student.

Yeah.

Yet you're gettin' C grades.

Its that disparity there

that concerns your dad and me.

- You know what a disparity is?

- Yeah!

OK. Well, thats why we

don't want you goin' out for hockey.

Oh, man! Come on. Whats the big deal?

It's just an hour....

Hold on.

- Whats the big deal?

- Hello.

- Yeah, hi, hon.

- Oh, hi, Dad.

- Is Jerry around?

- Yah. Hon? Yah, he's here.

- I'll catch him for ya. Hon? Its Dad.

- OK.

- Look, Dad, there's no f***ing way...

- Scotty!

Hey, lets watch that language there.

- How ya doin' there, Wade?

- Whats goin' on?

Nothin', Wade. How ya doin' there?

Stan Grossman looked at your proposal.

He says its pretty sweet.

- No kiddin'?

- Might be interested.

No kiddin'? I'd need the cash pretty quick

there, in order to close the deal.

Come by at 2.30. We'll talk about it. If your

numbers are right, Stan says its sweet.

- Stan, you know, Grossman.

- Yah.

- 2.30.

- Yah. OK.

Say, Shep, how ya doin' there?

Say, you know those two fellas you

put me in touch with up there in Fargo?

- Put you in touch with Grimsrud.

- Well, he had a buddy there. He...

- I don't vouch for him.

- Thats OK.

- I vouch for Grimsrud. Who's his buddy?

- Carl something.

Never heard of him. Don't vouch for him.

He's a buddy of the guy you vouch for,

so I'm not worrying.

I gotta get in touch with him.

This deal I needed 'em for, I may not need

it any more. Something's happenin', see.

- Call him up.

- I did, and I haven't been able to get him.

So I thought maybe you'd know

an alternate number.

- Nope.

- OK.

Well, real good, then.

Can you crack

a f***in' window open, man?

You know, its proven second-hand smoke

is a carcino... You know, a cancer agent.

Look at that - Twin Cities.

Thats the IDS building, the big glass one.

The tallest skyscraper in the Midwest,

after the Sears in Chicago,

or John Hancock Building, whatever.

Have you ever been to Minneapolis?

Nope.

Would it kill you to say something?

- I did.

- "No"?

Thats the first thing you've said

in the last four hours.

Thats a fountain

of conversation, man. Thats a geyser.

I mean, whoa, daddy. Stand back, man.

Sh*t.

I'm sittin' here drivin' - I'm doin' all the

drivin', whole f***in' way from Brainerd -

just tryin' to chat, you know, keep our

spirits up, fight the boredom of the road,

and you can't say one f***in' thing

just in the way of conversation?

Oh, f*** it. I don't have to talk either, man.

See how you like it.

Just total f***in' silence.

Two can play at that game, smart guy.

We'll just see how you like it.
