- Yes.

Please, help my son.

For the last three nights

He thinks that something

will harm him.

Tell her.

It is increasingly stronger.

What did he do?

- Nothing.

Tell me what he did!

He stole a silver necklace from

a gypsy woman.

We tried to give it back.

They wouldn't take it.

Where is it?

- Here.

Bring him inside.

Holy Father, we ask you, have

mercy on this sick boy.

No...my son!

Calm, quiet!

We're coming down there.

Watch out, Juan!

Move from there, fast!

Help me!

Help me!

We will meet again...

I really like that.

You know, Stu is someone who's

not afraid to crunch the numbers.

Make the tough decisions.

I decide, ok?

In the meantime, take me through

Just in case, alright?

Ok.

Oh,and...would you mind taking

the lunch break now?

Sure.

- And maybe on your way back,

You could pick me up

a turkey club.

A turkey club, excellent choice.

- You mind picking one for me, thanks.

And spicy mustard.

Sir, you must...

What you got..?

Beloney and Johnson. - Oh.

- Yes, Sir.

But you know your father and I...

have certain expectations for you.

- I can't do it...

I understand, he's looking for someone

to play tennis with.

You know, she graduated from Yale Law

And she is a very successful attorney now.

- Ya, I know. You told me.

Yeah, that's the kind of girl, I would love

to see you with.

Mother...

- She's the kind of woman,

who could really help you socially and

as a result in your career.

and that's the kind of thing,

you should be thinking about now.

You can't be playing around with

It's where they bring the hot dogs.

Right, Stu?

Ya, you gonna get it.

Are you sure, that's ok?

- Absolutely.

- Well, thank you,

Stu.

Will you help me?

Of course, what can I do for you?

This rucks came to my house and pasted

on all my things..private things.

Please, make them stop.

Mrs...

- Ganush.

Mrs. Ganush, the bank is informing you,

they intend to repossess your property...

..at 325 Brandon Street today

But that is my house for 30 years.

And I make every payment, until this

sickness took my eye.

I hope to have more money soon, I just

need a little more time.

I don't think my manager's gonna

extend you anymore credit

Please,

won't you try?

Ok.

- Bless u.

Bless u.

We have an elderly woman, asking for an

extension on her mortgage payments.

She's on a fixed income and

she had some medical problems.

There got to be something we can do

to help her.

Well, apparently we already granted

her two extensions.

And you know, in these kind of foreclosure

we seize the trapped aqua-date.

And the bank makes a sizeable

amount in fees.

We have to throw her

out of her house?

It's a tough decision.

Your call.

I will take care of it.

Mrs Ganush...

I'm sorry, Mrs. Ganush.

But another extension on

the loan is out of the question
