Jumping Ship

That's Great, Michael.

Good For You.

I Know It Sounds Strange

Coming From Me, Aunt Jules,

But It Really Feels Good

Growing Your Own Stuff.

It's Hard Work, Though.

Well, I Guess You Got

A Little Farmer In You

After All.

[Chuckles] So...Is

Tommy All Set To Go?

I'd Say. He's Been Packed

For 3 Days.

I've Gotta Admit, Michael,

I'm A Little Nervous.

Australia's Really Far Away.

I Know, But I Promise You,

I'm Gonna Take Good Care

Of Him, All Right?

Don't Worry.

Uh, Excuse Me,

Aunt Jules.

Hey, Uh...Missed

A Couple Of Weeds

Right There, Partner.

Ok? Thanks.

It's So Hard To Get

Good Help These Days.

So, Where Is Tommy,

Anyway?

[Horse Whinnies]

Oh, He's Riding Up

Right Now.

Hey, Tommy,

Michael's On The Phone!

I'll Talk To You

Later, Michael.

Have Fun,

And Be Careful.

We Will, All Right?

And Don't Worry, Aunt Jule.

I Promise You Tommy

Is In Very Good Hands.

All Right?

I Know.

Here He Is.

Hey, Michael.

Hey, Bud.

Are You Out, Uh...

Riding My Horse Again?

Yeah. He's Gotten

Really Fast.

He's Really Living

Up To His Name.

We're Going

For A Steak Sandwich!

Hey, Tommy,

Are You Ready

To Have Some Fun?

Couldn't Be More Ready.

Well, Guess What. I Was

On The, Uh, Internet,

And I've Decided

That I'm Gonna Charter

A Private Yacht

To Take Us Deep-Sea

Fishing For 2 Days

And Then

On To The Resort.

Just You And Me.

How Cool Is That, Huh?

Really?

Yeah. I Thought

You Might Like It.

I Can't Wait.

Me, Neither, Buddy.

Uh, Listen,

Um, I'll See You

At The Airport.

All Right?

All Right. Bye.

Ok. Bye.

How's The Water?

Oh, It's Great, Dad.

Want To Come In?

Wish I Could.

But I've...

Gotta Go To Work.

Nice Tan, Michael.

Oh, Thanks. Yeah,

I'm Trying To Get

A Good, Uh, You Know,

Base For...Australia.

Michael, My Accountant

Just Called.

This Trip With Tommy

That You're Taking

To Australia?

Seems To Have Come In

At $4,000 More

Than You Said It Would.

Oh, I Can Explain That.

Oh, Please Do.

Ok. See, Roxanne

Is Gonna Be In Hawaii.

Right? Which Is

Practically Right

Next Door To Australia.

So I Said, "Hey, Since

You're In The Neighborhood,

Come On Down And Join

Tommy And Me."

So You Picked Up The Tab?

[Chuckles]

Dad, I Invited Her.

Is This Gonna

Be A Problem?

Well, As A Matter Of Fact,

It Is A Problem.

Michael, You're

Spending Money

You Don't Have,

And You Don't Have

A Job To Pay It Back.

You Know, Michael,

In My Book,

Success Is When Preparation

Meets Opportunity.

And Frankly, Michael,

What You're Doing Here

Has Nothing To Do

With Either One.

Dad, Look, I--I--

Now, Don't "Dad" Me.

You're Supposed To Be

Looking For A Job,

Maybe Putting

Your Education To Work.

But, Dad, I'm Not Sure

I Want To Be An Attorney.

Well, Our Agreement Was

Whatever You Chose,

You'd Be Employed

By The End Of The Summer.

Well, I've Been Looking.

Well, I Don't Know Of

A Whole Lot Of Opportunities

You're Gonna Find

Sitting Here

In This Pool, Michael.

Now, You're Going

To Pay Me Back

For Roxanne.

So I Suggest

That When You Return

From Your Vacation,

You Find That Job

That We've Been Talking About,

Or You're Gonna

Come Work For Me.

Just Like Your Partner

In Your Firm?

No, Not As A Partner

In My Firm, Michael.

You'd Have To Go To Law School

And Pass The Bar Exam

To Do That.

You're Gonna Start

The Way I Started...

As A File Clerk.

It's Not A Punishment,

Michael.

It's A Job.

Who Knows?

You Might Like It.

I Might Even Treat You

To Lunch Once In A While.

Think About It.

Here.

Need Some Help?

No, That's Ok.

I Can Do It.

Here. This Is For You--

A Little Going-Away

Present.

Thanks. Set It Down

Over There.

Sure.

Ok.

Don't Even Say It.

I Know What

He's Trying To Do.

Oh, Really?

And What's That?

Helping You Unload

The Hay Yesterday...

Pitching In

With The Fence

Last Week...

Always Offering

To Drive You Into Town?

He's A Nice Guy.

Neighbors Help

Each Other Out.

Ok. What About Making

Dinner? Steak Sandwiches?

Everybody's

Gotta Eat.

You Know What

I'm Trying To Say.

He Likes You.

Well...

I Like Him, Too.

Just Because You Do

Doesn't Mean I Have To.

Honey...

Look, I Don't Know

How To Explain It.

I Just Don't Want

Another Dad.

Honey.

Nobody's Trying

To Replace Your Dad.

Good...'Cause

No One Will.

Of Course Not.

Oh, Come On.

Give Him

Half A Chance.

Maybe There's Room If You

Really Want To Be Friends.

All Right,

Let's Get Going.

You Don't Want

To Miss Your Plane.

Thank You.

There You Go,

Gentlemen.

Thank You.

Whoo!

Beautiful, Huh?

What Do You Think?

Is This Beautiful

Or What?

This Is Great.

Yeah.

You Know What? I Love

This Look On You.

I Look Like You.

I Know.

Isn't It Great?

Hey, Michael.

What?

Smile.

Oh, Wait A Minute.

Hold On.

Uh, Excuse Me. Sir.

Would You Mind

Snapping

A Picture

Of Us, Please?

No Worries, Mates.

Thanks.

Get The Boats In,

All Right? Ok.

All Right.

That's Great.

Thank You.

Hey, Wait.

This Is, Uh...

For You.

Thanks A Lot.

Thank You.

Have A Good Day.

All Right.

Can't Get Better

Than This, Huh?

It's Off To

Paradise Island.

Ooh! Sorry, Sir.

Wasn't Watchin'

Where I Was Goin'.

That's...Ok.

Ok.

No Worries...

Cool.

Mate.

You Ok?

What? Yeah. Come On.

What's

The Boat's Name?

Oh. You're

Gonna Love This.

It's Call, Uh,

The Tiffany.

I'm Sure It's Owned

By The Same Family

That Owns

That Jewelry Store.
