You like the name Shane?

- Yeah.

- Shane's pretty.

- Shane would be okay.

On the other hand, you wouldn't want

a Supreme Court Justice called Shane.

Oh, Jesus.

I got it. I got it.

Brilliant.

This is so brilliant.

- Got it? Ready? Are you ready?

- Mm-hmm.

- Thelonius Weinrib.

- Max! What about Max?

- Max?

- Yeah, Max.

Max.

Oh, look how cute he is.

- I wanna hold him. Max is okay.

- He's so sweet. He's smiling.

- Dr. Max Weinrib. I like the name Max.

- Yeah, Max is good.

- It's simple.

- How about Senator Max Weinrib?

- Little tongue.

- Rabbi Max-- Rabbi Max Weinrib?

No. Maybe we should

rethink Max for a minute.

- Oh, he's so great.

- He's happy. I think he likes us.

- He looks like you.

- He looks like me?

Yeah.

He looks like Broderick

Crawford a little bit.

- He's so smart.

- Yeah.

He picks up on everything.

He's got a great personality.

You know, you wake him up,

he's always smiling and upbeat.

- Like me.

- You were like that

when you were a baby.

- Yeah, he's so verbal.

- Well, he's around a writer...

and an art expert, right?

Listen, when are you going

to move the gallery downtown?

Yeah, Mother, we don't want to get

into that discussion 'cause, you know,

I think we should move and Lenny

is a devoted Upper East-sider.

Or shall I say is opposed

to change in any form?

- I don't know.

- It's unbelievable.

The kid is unbelievable. I got him

trains, he put 'em together himself.

Trains? I thought you

bought him an Erector Set.

I got him an Erector Set, yeah.

And-- And I also got him this tricycle.

- Wait. And the whole plastic kitchen?

- Max, I got you a tricycle.

Lenny, you can't

buy him so much.

- Max, I got you a tricycle.

- Look at that!

- You can't buy him so much stuff.

- No, no. I also got him skates.

- Skates?

Yeah. And I got a couple more things

on the way in, you know.

A small truck is gonna pull up

in front of the house.

- What are you gonna get next year?

- Does anyone want anything to drink?

- Go ahead. Shoot.

Try again.

You ever think about what you want

to be when you grow up, Max?

Hmm, I don't know.

Maybe an interior decorator.

- What?

- Just kidding, just kidding.

Well, don't kid.

Here. Come on.

Okay, those go in the bedroom.

Okay, you follow me.

- Give me a hand with this.

- Why did we move?

What do you mean,

"Why did we move?" I told you.

We moved 'cause-- 'cause, you know,

'cause your mother wanted to move.

'Cause, you know, the art gallery

she works at has moved downtown...

and, you know,

she wanted to move.

- Here's your football.

- Who's the boss between you and Mommy?

- What is the question?

- Who's the boss between you and Mommy?
