Let go of my pride and joy?

Never.

Jason, you know better

than to ask me that.

[Whitaker] The Mojave Desert.

5,000 acres of the Mojave Desert.

We are going to build

a casino resort,

including an 18-Hole golf course

and a country club.

So what's the catch?

Well, Graham Ministries

owns 1,000 acres...

right in the middle of it.

The Yakamoto brothers

are going to need...

this one piece of land

to build their vision upon.

Now, this land is already

in foreclosure.

But the owner,

Mr. Eden Graham,

is not cooperating.

And so,

this land is going to

go to auction next Saturday.

But that doesn't give us much time.

I know.

This guy absolutely refuses to sell.

Therefore I need you

to drive up to the Mojave,

and meet with

Mr. Eden Graham.

Meghan,

you close on this deal,

and we'll enjoy

a celebration together.

My dream will be realized...

and guess who will be

in line to fill my shoes?

Hi!

Valentina.

I'm sorry I missed

your party.

No, you didn't miss it.

You're here now,

And this is

how it should be,

three best friends,

enjoying each other.

I knew when Whitaker called you

to his office it would be a late night.

We all knew that.

We decided to wait for you.

Guys, you are so sweet.

Oh, I'm acting as if

it's my birthday.

Here.

Oh my, look at this bracelet!

It's so beautiful!

- Okay, open.

- Okay!

Oh!

Do you like it?

I love it!

Oh, thank you.

Look what Adam got me.

That is gorgeous!

You must have spent your

entire paycheck on that.

Not all of it,

but, yeah, most.

Hi, mom.

I finally caught you.

Let me talk to her.

Mom, I'm gonna give you

a call back tomorrow.

Wait, you were supposed to

call me back yesterday.

Good night. I love you.

She has the worst timing.

I have the biggest deal of my life

and she calls to chit chat?

Don't be selfish.

It's your mother.

You can't take two minutes

of your time?

Two minutes will

turn into two hours.

I just have so much on my mind

with the Yakamoto account.

Meghan, ever since

I've known you,

all you care about is money

and your career.

What's going to happen

when you turn 60?

You're going to wish that someone

would call and visit you.

And guess what? You are

going to be all alone.

You are just as old as I am.

But I love my family.

And one day I plan to settle down

and have children of my own,

so that when I get old

I'll have someone to love me.

Look at you!

You don't date and you have no

friends outside of Adam and me.

It's late,

and I have to prepare for the biggest

presentation of my life tomorrow.

That's right.

Big presentation.

I'll go get my computer

so I can assist.

You know that I'm right.

Let me google "God's Country"
