- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Mom, it's good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Sit up straight. Rise and greet me.

Well, sit up or stand up,

what do you want, Mom?

- "Hello" will do fine.

- Hello, Mother.

Thank you.

- You look quite lovely.

- Thank you!

You should see the wedding dress.

It's not quite my taste,

but it'll work just fine.

I'm so proud of you.

You remind me of your father.

I told you, you shouldn't get married.

Natalie is a respectable girl

from a very fine family,

unlike that trailer-park cheerleader

you married.

Mother, if I remember correctly,

Dad met you at a trailer park.

Mother? The engagement party,

how's the planning going?

Mom?

It's going to be beautiful.

What is this, Walt?

A drink in the middle of the day?

Well, if I have to sit here with you,

you better be glad

it's not a mountain of cocaine.

You enjoy this, don't you?

Yes, I am.

You think it's funny.

Why can't you be more like your brother?

Mom, now look, what's going on?

I wanted to see you.

You insisted on inviting your brother.

Well, you said it was about business

and he is a part of the business,

so I thought he should be here.

Still going to your meetings?

Why?

Yes. Yes, he is. I make sure of it.

Mom. What's going on?

I read the newspaper. Are we all right?

This is just like I thought.

You're worried about yourself.

Your father worked very hard

to build this business,

and to lose it like this

would be unthinkable.

Don't worry, Mom, perfect little Wesley's

gonna work it all out for you.

Oh, yes, he will.

And you will find some way

to try to sabotage it.

Where are you going?

I'm going to have a cigarette.

Is that okay?

I can't drive.

Wesley has to drive me, Mom,

'cause you have my car locked up

in the office garage.

Okay? I'm going to have a smoke.

It takes the patience of

Job to deal with him.

Don't get worked up about it, Mother.

He's fine. It's all fine.

Okay, go on.

Now listen.

I need you to help Mommy and be a big girl.

- You can lay down...

- I'm scared.

No, listen, you can try and go to sleep, and

I'll be back to check on you in an hour.

I want Daddy.

Ariel, don't do that.

Don't do that "Daddy" thing.

Come on.

But you must not come out of the closet,

all right?

And I'll be back to check

on you in an hour.

Put the participation

and the operating profit,

and you take that from the gross...

I don't understand what he's doing,

or how he's doing this.

- Can we go home now?

- What?

Can we go home now?

I'm still working, Walter.

And you should be, too.

Did you finish the Brunson report?

Anything else, Mr. CEO?

I'm taking a cab home.

Don't say a word.

You know, everybody around here
