Something without

wall-to-wall cockroaches.

All I have to do is just keep

setting my goals and working hard...

- I'll be fine.

- You are so naive.

- I'm sorry.

- Excuse me.

Go ahead. Oh, God.

I hope your aunt feels better.

- What?

- I said...

She said, "I hope your aunt feels better."

My aunt? The sick aunt. Yes, she is fine.

They thought it was...

Either get on the elevator or get off.

I'll be back.

And I lose again.

I won. I have a date.

- You are kidding.

- No.

Gwen and I, Thursday night,

8:
00 p.m., dinner.

- Fabulous.

- It was the clumsy approach. It worked.

You are going to want

to borrow my apartment.

No, but thank you. That's sweet.

But I can't do that to you. Thank you.

If she finds out you live with your folks,

you will embarrass yourself.

Yeah, I know, but I can't do that to you.

It is the cockroaches, isn't it?

- Well...

- They scatter when the lights go on.

Mr. Parker, Mr. Lomax will see you now.

I feel lucky.

No, I only want the Maserati

if it comes in that jet black.

Look, if you can't do it for me...

I'll just have to take my business

to another dealer.

Yeah.

So paint it! I mean how hard

can this whole thing be?

Right.

All right. See, that's better.

See how easy it is to do business with me?

No trade. Strictly cash.

Right.

All right. Good.

Gentlemen, what have you got for me?

As you may or may not know, Mr. Lomax...

Larry and I have been, I mean, working.

- Where is he going?

- I don't know.

What are we supposed to do?

Bet that thing moves, huh? Jesus.

- Put that back.

- It's a beautiful boat.

You gentlemen were saying...

Yes, well.

As you might have heard...

Larry and I have been reprogramming

the accounts on the new computer system.

- Right.

- Thanks.

Sir, it's a very big job.

A big job. We have been working hard.

A very big job.

I've been at it for quite some time.

Weekends also.

- Weekends, late, and...

- Why don't you show him?

Thank you.

We've got something

you should know about.

- Got them both there?

- Yes. Page 28 and 41.

You sure these figures are accurate?

- Yes.

- Positive.

Yes, sir, Mr. Lomax.

Bernie.

Call me Bernie.

I mean my father is Mr. Lomax, right?

Okay, Bernie.

- Yes, it's all there in black and white.

- We both worked on this one, Bern.

"E."

Bernie.

- Papers.

- Right here, Bernie.

If anything has to go,

I am glad it's my vision...

and not the old joystick,

you know what I mean?

That's computer ink, sir.

Oh, no, you are wrong. Look.

There are multiple checks issued

because there were several policies written.

You didn't take into consideration

that it's normal...

especially when using

a fluctuating COL index to combine...
