Who is this lovely lady?
It can't be Maggie.
Yes, it can. And know what?
I just played you at school.
And don't you just look the part.
Can this giant be Jack?
How much you've grown in a year!
I'm supposed to tell you about...
...congratulations for opening
the orphan hospital...
...and how great the dedication is.
- Thank you so very much.
- Welcome.
Now, there is one rule I insist
be obeyed while you are in my house:
No growing up.
Stop this very instant.
And that includes you,
Mr. Chairman-of-the-Board Banning.
Sorry, too late, Gran.
And what's so terribly important
about your terribly important business?
You see, when a big
company's in trouble...
...Dad sails in, and if
there's any resistance...
He's exaggerating. I'm still
into mergers and acquisitions.
And I'm dabbling in
some land development.
Any resistance and he blows them
out of the water.
So!
Peter, you've become a pirate!
Brad's on the line.
He says it's urgent!
Do you like my dress?
Great, Gran.
Thanks.
Hey, Brad. Good news?
What?
What Sierra Club report?
He's trying to suck my blood!
He drools all over my neck.
What did they find?
- That's a portable phone...
- A Cozy Blue Owl?
Well, listen.
Ask them if anybody
misses the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Oh, well, I do! Boy, do I ever!
Wow, you kidding?
Wait a minute.
You telling me a 10-inch owl
has a 50-mile mating radius?
Why don't they just
fornicate someplace else?
You're telling me a 5-billion-dollar
deal is falling apart because of this?
Somebody shoot me in the head!
Bang! Bang!
Will everybody just shut up!
I'm sorry.
Leave me alone for one moment!
Get them out of here!
I'm on the phone call of my life!
Come on, Jack. Out, out, out.
Come with me.
I'll show you the window where your
dad and I used to blow out the stars.
I should've stayed
till the deal was done.
Granny asked you to visit every year.
I've been busy.
You promised the children some real time
here. You haven't looked at them once.
- That's not true.
- How many more broken promises?
It's Brad, Moira.
I gotta take this call.
I gotta fix this.
No, you gotta fix your family first.
Peter, hello? Are you there?
What?
- You hated the deal.
I hated the deal. But I'm sorry
Your children love you.
They want to play with you.
How long do you think that lasts?
Soon Jack may not even want you
to come to his games.
We have a few special years
with our children...
...when they're the ones
that want us around.
Then you'll be running after them
for a bit of attention.
It's so fast, Peter.
It's a few years, then it's over.
