this game under control...

I don't think your-

Oh, man.

who's got a game-high 22 points...

and there's the give-and-go!

and he missed the lay-up...

Bill, you going to the bus?

Hop in and I'll give you a ride.

That's all right, Mr. Winters.

I'm going right by there.

No, that's all right, thank you.

Don't be stupid, get in.

Take it outside.

I'm warning you for the last time!

Mrs. Kotlarenko!

Mr. Porter! Your mother is eating dinner.

Where?

She's good, nice dinner, in the back.

She's good, everything's good.

He be okay. Epileptic. That's all.

Where's my mother's suitcase?

Suitcase?

We're leaving.

Yes. We're leaving.

There are cold cuts

in the refrigerator for lunch.

She'll be fine.

Mama?

I'll be home about 7:00.

Mrs. Warren is gonna check in with you.

She'll make you lunch.

Mama, please!

Just go.

Don't worry about her.

I'll keep an eye on her.

I'm gonna do some cleaning, Billy.

The place is a mess.

Good morning. My name is Bill Porter.

I'm with the Watkins Company.

You're a salesman?

Yeah.

No, thank you. I don't need anything.

Are these orchids?

Yes.

They're hard to grow. I know, I've tried.

You have a spot of something

on your shirt.

Our laundry detergent is concentrated.

So, just one...

- Hi.

- Hey.

- You off to school?

- Yeah.

- Good morning.

- 'Morning.

- I'm Bill Porter.

- Brad Gutierrez.

You live in the neighborhood?

He rents a room from me.

Guys, I need you to step outside.

I need to spray in here.

Alan, that stuff's gonna kill you.

Thank you. Go outside, smoke a cigarette.

I hate that stuff.

It's for bugs?

Yeah.

Has he tried peppermint soap?

I don't think so.

What about this?

- Are you sure that stuff is not bad for you?

- Sure.

I will. Okay, 'bye.

Athens, Morocco, someplace else...

It's very sweet of him...

but what am I gonna do

all by myself on a boat?

Your son sounds like a very generous man.

I think he feels guilty.

Why?

I never see him.

This is a Buddhist monk

who has poured gasoline...

But he's busy. You know, he just...

Oh, my God. What is he doing?

Oh, dear God!

He's protesting the war.

Why do they show them?

Why do they put that on the television?

I made some orange juice.

It's fresh-squeezed.

No, thank you, I have to go.

Bill?

What is that tonic that I like so much?

Beef and iron.

Yes. Could you order me some of that?

And that drain cleaner?

You're out of that?

Yes.

And the dog biscuits. The large size.

Mom?

Mrs. Warren?

Mama?

You see, now I have the proof.

- Can you bring the suitcases in for her?

- Sure.

- My glasses.

- Here.

- Mom.

- I can't... What...
