Take advantage of it.

Your father would've known

how to do that.

"Miller the Killer" I'd call him

because your old man would kill

to get me a gig.

Yeah. Yeah. He loved it

when you called him that.

It killed him when you stopped.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Happy Thanksgiving, baby.

Thanks.

You said you weren't coming.

I flew in last night.

Uh...

Get in the car.

I'll take you to work.

I'm just gonna take the train.

It's freezing.

Get in the f***ing car.

I'm already... No. No.

I'm not gonna take a limo

to the soup kitchen.

I'm not gonna do it.

Goddamn it. Follow us.

Yes, Mr. Schiltz.

Jesus, it's 80 in Boca.

Well, then go home, Dad.

I need you to come back.

That what you wanna hear?

I don't wanna hear anything.

The place doesn't work

the same without you.

Those old people are not happy

because you're not there

to take care of them.

We found something

you're good at.

Why walk away from that?

See. That's what you do.

Don't say things like that.

That's not nice. Don't...

I meant it as a compliment.

It's not a compliment.

How is that a compliment?

You make me seem like

I'm some kind of

problem that needs to be solved.

0Or like I can't figure things...

You are a problem.

I'm not doing this on my block.

But I love you.

That isn't love.

Oh.

My lawyer worked out

an arrangement with the court,

so you can finish

community service in Florida.

You can't do that without me.

You can't do that without me.

What's in New York for you?

You got cheated on.

You got dumped.

So what?

You got arrested.

So what?

These are not signs of success

in this city.

Go home, Dad.

Hey.

A week from Monday's my birthday

and you're having dinner

with me.

No ifs, ands or buts.

You got it? Because

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

You make me happy

When skies are gray

Don't sing.

You'll never know, dear

How much I love you

Okay to dinner.

No singing. No more singing.

Please don't take

My sunshine away

And having dinner with me

is not a gift!

I want a gift too!

Here he is.

The prick who came in

from the cold.

Place looks good.

It smells a lot more Jewish

than before.

Heh. Hey, Jay. You know

my famous brother, Jackie Burke?

How you doing?

Hi, Jay.

Probably needs money.

I need to talk to you.

I was right?

Jesus, I was kidding.

Oh.

So you need money?

No, it's fine. I'm fine.

Just doing my community service

over at the Apostles Mission.

I was in the neighborhood.

Thought I'd say hello.

Community service?

I saw the f***ing video.

How could you let a heckler

get to you like that?

It wasn't about the heckling.

It was the goddamn camera.
