Dinner for Schmucks Page #5

---

It was quite a bidding war.

Well, to the victor go the spoils.

You know my family crest.

Our motto continues to inspire.

- Ad Victorem Spolias.

- Fantastic.

- Well, shall we?

- Yeah.

Join us.

So you follow the art world,

Mr. Conrad?

I try to. My girlfriend runs

The Cronin Gallery downtown.

I would love to meet her.

We must have brunch tomorrow.

They can speak about beauty.

We can speak about business.

Sounds perfect.

I'll have my assistant

make the arrangements.

OK, what the hell just happened?

This guys supposed to be my client.

- You're still just an analyst...

- No, no, this is better.

I didn't know it was

going to be a double date.

Tim's the only one here who

isn't divorced or dating a hooker.

This guy wants to invest $100 million.

Don't mess it up. We need this.

Well, the sixth floor steps up.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

Hey, rooting for you, buddy, Good luck.

- My girlfriend's not a hooker.

- She tried to give me a BJ.

If she didn't ask for money,

then she's not a hooker, is she?

She asked me for money.

It wasn't that expensive, either.

I still had a ton of singles left over

from your sister's birthday party.

Hey, is Cinnamon a family name?

- Hey, honey.

- Hey!

Glad you're still here. Look,

don't make plans tomorrow morning.

Why?

How'd you like to have brunch

with a fascinating Swiss couple?

- OK.

- She's an art collector

and he's got a lot of money.

- I need you. This is huge.

- it's huge?

- Really huge.

- What's this?

What is this?

That's a...

It's a mouse dressed like Jesus.

This guy that I ran into today,

he makes them.

He's amazing.

He's some kind of artisan.

Really? Are you doing that dinner?

No.

- Hey, come on.

- No, not when you're lying to me.

- Julie, Fender invited me.

- So?

Fender, as in Fender Financial?

The you I know

would have just said no.

The me that you know did say no.

But the me that you don't know

had to say yes.

- The you I don't know?

- Yes.

Look, there's you

and the me that you know.

And we love each other

and we have a wonderful life.

But then there's the me

that you don't know.

And the me that you don't know

has to do things sometimes so that you

and the me that you know

can live in this nice apartment,

and eat at nice restaurants

and go to Cabo for Christmas.

- He takes care of us.

- You know what?

There should not be

any you I don't know.

But there is.

You might not like him.

I don't like him.

I hate him! But we need him.

- You know? It's like the CIA.

- The CIA?

The CIA does some pretty funky,

nasty stuff in the shadows,

but I, for one, am glad they're there.

The CIA doesn't invite people to dinner

- to make fun of them.
