Uncle Buck Page #4

- Lots of things.

- Where's your office?

- I don't have one. I don't need one.

- Where's your wife?

- Don't have one. It's a long story.

- Do you have kids?

- I don't. It's an even longer story.

- Are you my dad's brother?

- What's your record for questions asked?

- Thirty-eight.

- I'm your dad's brother.

You have more nose hair than my dad.

- Nice of you to notice.

- I'm a kid. That's my job.

That is my car.

Tying your shoe?

- What time should I pick you up?

- Don't bother. I'll get a ride.

No, I've got orders.

What time?

Are you really this stupid?

I said I would get a ride.

I always get a ride.

I'll call the school,

find out what time and meet you here.

Go ahead, call the school.

I won't be here.

Stand me up today,

and tomorrow...

I'll drive you to school in my pajamas

and walk you to your first class.

- 4:
00 okay?

- I'm stunned I'm related to you.

You get the pole out of your keister,

we'll get along fine.

Did you ever have anyone

embarrass you like this?

No.

- You think she hates me?

- With a passion.

- Is it the hat?

- No.

A lot of people hate this hat.

The sight of it angers people.

I'll tell you a story about that

on the way to school.

Right. Listen, Buck.

For eight years you have been

making plans and breaking plans.

What are you talking about?

Didn't we talk last night about this?

What did we talk about?

Me playing the father!

I'm glad you can do it for your brother.

You sure can't do it for me.

How could I do it for you?

We don't have kids.

What are you talking about?

Buck, I know you think the job

is pointless...

and in some way I'm trying

to manipulate you and control you...

and ruin your life.

I have to fill the position.

It's important to the company and me.

Unless you tell me different,

I'll offer the job to somebody else.

Give me a week to think about it.

I don't know how long I'll be here.

If , during that week...

you see somebody

who will fill the bill...

hire him on a part-time basis

or whatever.

That way I'll make up my mind and

we'll see where we are at that point.

Okay, I have to go now.

Bye-bye, hon.

Eight more. Come on.

Work it.

Get the circulation going.

Step it up.

Isn't peace wonderful?

Mikhail Gorbachev, the most improbable

evil emperor in captivity...

captivates Manhattan...

wows the U.N. By announcing a unilateral

cut in the Soviet military...

smiles and waves with erstwhile

cold warriors Ronald Reagan...

And the stock market has

its best week since July.

Take that, Karl Marx.

Would you like to talk about

a possible lunch trade?

Cover your ears.

Just do it.

Do you know how whipped

an engine has to be to blow that loud?

Call me.
