together

with the kid-glove interiors

and the original paint?

l tell you what, if you're home

when we sit down to dinner,

6:
00, Christmas Eve, the car's yours.

6:
00.

Not one minute past. Understand?

Yes, sir.

-We'll see you then.

Great. Bye.

You are mine.

All mine.

He cashes in the tickets

and you offer him a bribe?

Do you see anything wrong

with this picture?

Yeah, I do, but...

-But what?

Jake's coming home for Christmas.

OK, I got to go pack, you guys.

See you in an hour?

Nice try but no chance.

Must be defective.

l estimated it would be another five

hours till you tried to make up.

That's funny.

l estimate that it takes five hours

to fly to Larchmont, New York.

l thought you cashed your ticket in.

l cashed it back in

for tickets to New York.

Will you please accept my apology

and come home with me for Christmas?

You're unbelievable.

Tell me about it.

Ripley is doing a special on me.

So, why the sudden change of heart?

l guess you got to me with

all that sentimental family stuff.

l'm glad you're coming around.

lf you don't have family,

what do you have?

So, do you want to come over

and help me pack?

l can't. I gotta go tutor some jocks.

You're such a compassionate man!

l am a giver.

Pick you up tomorrow morning, 8:00.

This better work.

Run.

Look out.

What's taking so long?

Sorry, Ms Peterson.

-Coach likes to stay in touch.

Driving a Porsche, it's like

you have a relationship with it.

lt knows you. It's listening

and just responding.

So true.

Downshifting?

You don't know what it is

until you downshift a Porsche.

You are a lucky man.

-So true.

So, Jake, are you feeling lucky?

Immensely.

l think that's all about to change.

Something wrong, fellas?

You think you're a wiseguy?

lt's real funny to make us

look like morons?

What are you talking about?

-The beepers, dipstick.

Where's lan?

12-32-14.

l'm sure there's some explanation.

Let me make a call.

We're done explaining.

Boys.

All right, see you later.

Have a good break.

All right, Jake, where are you?

God, I wish I were dead.

l said I wished I were dead.

Let's see you sweet-talk your way

out of this.

Eddie and the boys.

The last time

l do business with those guys.

Go on, get out of here.

You glued it on, didn't you,

you jerks?

The hat too?

This is not acceptable.

Sit. Roll over.

Die.

Hey, it's Jake, you found me.

ldiot.

-Who's an idiot?

l am.

Jake flaked, huh?

What a surprise. Lucky for you,

the Ed Man is here to the rescue.

What do you say we blow

this Popsicle stand?

You're loving this, aren't you?

Pretty much, yeah.

OK, let's go.

-All right.

No, allow me. I got it.

The ultimate in irony.
