- What?

- He insisted.

He blamed it on his sister, Roz.

She's always hated me,

but I know he wanted it too.

- How is it?

- It's bad.

I get some money for a year,

not much. That's it.

Does it matter, Ned?

Tell me the truth, please.

The truth.

I wish you were going to be loaded.

Does it matter? No. No.

God, you make me happy.

It's time for your present.

From now on, when it starts coming down

on you, I'll be there to protect you.

Try it on.

I bet I guessed the size right.

I love it.

- I want to see.

- Here.

Hello, sweetheart.

Have I got a nice present for you.

Hi, Aunt Matty.

Heather.

- What is it again?

- Rover.

- It's between first and second.

- That's not a shortstop?

No. The shortstop is between

second and third.

Good, that's the way I remember it.

Have a good time.

You don't really mind, do you?

Roz will pick her up Thursday.

Don't worry,

Roz won't stay overnight.

She can do whatever she wants.

Oh, my God. You scared me.

You shouldn't be here.

Heather's upstairs.

Asleep.

And I know what I want.

I know. I know, I missed you so badly,

but it's too dangerous.

- She won't wake up now.

- You're so wet.

I'd been waiting out there for two hours.

So salty.

Let me.

Lie back.

Aunt Matty?

What do you say?

- I did.

- She did.

Thank you, Aunt Matty.

- Thanks, Matty. We appreciate it.

- A pleasure, Roz. Any time.

- Hi, Ned.

- It's just me tonight, Filomena.

Okay. Just one minute, all right?

Well, hello to you.

Hello. Darling, this is Mr. Racine.

I'm sorry, I don't know your first name.

Ned.

Edmund Walker.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Racine is the lawyer

I told you about.

You remember, darling, he had a client

who wanted to buy the house.

- I told him we weren't selling.

- Right.

That hasn't changed, has it?

No, we're very happy with it.

I can understand that.

It's a terrific place.

- Are you going in?

- I was gonna grab a bite, yeah.

Well, join us.

- No. Thanks, I don't want to interfere.

- No, don't be silly.

We have room for three, don't we?

I've heard this place is great.

But you can't get near it on weekends.

- I don't get down during the week much.

- Is that right?

I was a lawyer.

I still am, I guess, but I don't practice.

- I went to Columbia. You?

- F.S.U.

A good school.

I got bored with it quick.

I guess I didn't have the temperament for it.

I wanted to make the money faster.

- Is there a living in it here?

- I can afford to send out my shirts...

...and eat here once a month

if I don't order an appetizer.

Yeah. Yeah, I figured that honest lawyers

didn't make very much...

...and the other kind are too slimy for me.

I'd rather be up-front
