- A little bit.

- Like Rocky Raccoon?

- Yeah, a little bit.

- Nah!

- Yeah, you do a little.

- Really?

Hey, if you think I look bad,

you oughta see the other guy's knuckles.

Anyway, yo! Good... night.

- OK, kid?

- Night.

- Dad?

- Yo?

- Glad you're home.

- Thanks. I appreciate it.

We'll play tomorrow, OK? Maybe

you can show me your English teacher.

- She's pretty hot too.

- Nah!

Good night, kid.

(Adrian) You deserve the worst

for what you did.

- That was Rocky's money.

- You wanna be hysterical?

- You cost us everything.

- It was a mistake.

You think I thought

this was gonna happen?

Don't you walk away from me.

You just gave up our life!

And you think it's some stupid thing?

Paulie, do you know what you did?

Do you know the seriousness of it?

I understand it!

I understand the whole freakin' thing!

I understand it!

Your accountant's a crook, not me!

I did what I thought was right.

Don't blame me.

I want to murder the bum

worse than anybody!

Adrian, what's wrong?

Look what you done now.

She's dumpin' it all on me.

- Come on, don't turn this around on me.

- What did you do?

He gave power of attorney

to our accountant.

I just didn't gave anything to nobody.

He sent a letter. He says

"We'll be in Russia a couple of months...

...and I need Rocky

to sign a tax extension."

That extension was

a power of attorney, Paulie!

He's the thief! I need alcohol.

Rocky, on my eyes,

I never stole a freakin' dime!

Adrian, what's happenin' here?

- It's gone.

- What's gone?

The money. The money.

Everything. It's all gone.

The piece of paper Paulie had you sign

wasn't a request for a tax extension.

It was a blanket power of attorney

in favour of the accountant...

...who was involved in

some high-priced real estate.

He thought he could have your money

back before you knew it was gone.

Unfortunately for you

and everybody in this room...

...his deals fell through because the

market dried up. And you lost millions.

- Ain't there nothin' I can do?

- I've filed eight criminal acts against him.

But you've got debt payment

on this property...

...he didn't pay your tax returns and your

mortgage hasn't been paid in months!

We didn't have a mortgage.

Our house was fully paid for.

- Don't take it from me. Ask him.

- There's nearly $400,000 outstanding.

The only thing that's not encumbered

is a gym, willed to your son...

...by a Mickey Goldmill in 1982.

You can sell things.

Remember those commercials you did?

I ain't no commercial kinda guy.

I'm a fighter. That's what I do.

Nah, we couldn't get sponsors.

With the investigation of the accountant...

...out pops a criminal record
