Dinner for Schmucks Page #4

---

Yeah. You take care.

I won't forget this.

- You dropped your...

- Oh, yeah. That's my latest series.

I know. Mouseterpieces. Get it?

- That's the Mona Lisa.

- That's the Mouse-a-Lisa.

- Mouse-a-Lisa...

- There they are.

Found her on the 405. From here down,

she was a mess, but the head, perfect.

Oh, that's Cubism,

Not as easy as it looks.

Well, it doesn't look easy.

I like her. I love the tail.

- Check that out. You like them?

- I'm speechless.

So is he.

'Cause he's screaming.

I was just stopping by the store today

to get some pelt wax and spine wire.

Wanted to ill the guys in

on what I've been up to,

Hey, you know what? I have some

in the flesh. Want to see 'em?

Where did they...?

Come here! Come here!

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't look!

- OK... All right...

- Can I look?

Hold on, hold on, hold on...

Go ahead.

Incredible.

Does that guy look sort of familiar?

I'll give you a hint.

He wrote the Bible.

- ls it Jesus?

- Yes!

- You know your stuff!

- Amazing.

Yeah. Well, it's a hobby.

I like to think that...

...I'm sort of giving them

a second chance, you know?

In the words of John Lennon, "You

may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not."

- "The only one."

- The only what?

No, that's the lyric. "You may say I'm

a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

OK, Tim.

You know, Barry, this was

a very strange way to meet,

but I think everything

happens for a reason.

Did you make that up?

Yeah.

"Everything happens

for a reason." I like that.

Thanks. Anyway, tomorrow night,

I'm having dinner with some friends.

Are you? That's incredible.

Congratulations.

I was wondering,

would you like to join us?

- You shitting me?

- No.

Say that your girlfriend

thinks meat is murder,

and she convinces

you to become a vegetarian.

Then one day, you're grilling up

a veggie burger, and all of a sudden,

a chicken comes up, plucks itself,

covers itself in barbecue sauce

and flings itself on the grill.

That's God sending a message, right?

Yeah, that chicken wants to die.

No. God wants us

to move to the seventh floor.

And He sent His only son to tell me.

Come with me, my children,

to the seventh floor,

Tim! I'd like you to meet

Mr. and Mrs. Mueller

Of course! What a pleasure

it is to meet you.

Mr. Conrad!

You sent the lamp to my hotel.

- That's... yeah!

- I wished to meet you in person.

Yes, Tim was really helpful when

we came up with the idea for the lamps.

And we'd been discussing

personal investment as well.

That's a conversation I'm very much

looking forward to getting back to.

- Well, I'm glad we could do this.

- Yeah.

Congratulations on your

new Matisse. It's beautiful.

My wife is a true collector.
