...California.

Wonderful!

Ah, yes, there's nothing

like the scent of...

...fresh tea tree...

...just soaking into your pores.

Don't you agree?

Uh, lovely.

It was a pleasure meeting you

and I'm sure we'II...

...be seeing a lot of one another.

Good-bye, gentlemen.

Holy moly!

Now wait. You got all

four wheels on the track?

All right. Careful, fellas.

Be careful. That's over 100 years old.

Thing might collapse.

Hi, sweetheart.

How are you?

-Granddaddy's little girl.

-What's going on?

I'm getting rid of that.

It's just firewood.

Why?

I don't know. I don't play it much.

It sits around collecting dust.

You love that piano.

Granddaddy's got a surprise

for you in the house, pumpkin.

A little C-A-N-D-Y. It won't kill her.

Which one?

Which hand? This one?

That's the one.

There you are, sweetpea.

-How 'bout that? Here.

-Dad.

Is something wrong?

No, no. Nothing's wrong at all.

With me, uh....

How do I...?

-People are asking about you.

-I know.

Yeah, I keep telling them

that you and Mike are...

...doing just fine.

It's just a lot of gum-flapping.

Mike and I aren't fine.

That's what I thought.

We're separating for a while.

Honey, marriage isn't easy.

You have to work at it.

It's hard to work at it

when he's never there.

Sounds familiar. Mother wondered

where I was for 20 years.

You really think I wanted two jobs?

I didn't do that for me. I was...

...doing it for you, Brian and Mother.

Dad, this isn't about you.

It's about me and Mike.

I'm sorry. I keep....

I'm sorry. I love you so much.

Well, whatever you

and Mike decide is....

I never liked him anyway.

Who is that?

I don't know.

She seems to know you.

Well....

Does she always do that?

I don't know.

This is great!

We hope you enjoyed

our feature presentation.

Now stay tuned for tonight's

$6.4 million...

...jackpot on Powerball.

Followed by local news.

Out of the way.

Come on, baby.

I've got to win a million bucks.

Jacob, you got my vote! That's great.

Come on in. Have a little TV dinner.

Lasagna's heating up now.

No time. I had to give you this

for the yard.

I have to deliver a lot.

Just have one drink.

I can't. Sorry. I'll call you.

No, close the door. Come in.

Wait a minute. Give me a minute.

$6.4 million is our estimated jackpot.

You could be a millionaire.

To win the jackpot, correctly match

five white balls and the red powerball.

Our first number is a--

What's going on?

Number four. Remember, to win

the jackpot, match five white balls...

...and the red powerball.

Come on!

Schmuck doesn't know anything.

A...25....

There's just one more white ball

and here it is....

Jesus Christ!

Goldman. It's Goldman.

You're a child.
