Hey.
Daniel.
I'm leaving.
Okay, I'll drive you to the
airport.
No, no, no, I called a cab.
I thought you said you
wanted me to drive you...
No, I changed my mind.
But didn't you say....
No.
Danny.
I want you to think about
what I said last night.
You know what I want.
[phone ringing]
Thanks, thanks, I'll be right
out.
Danny.
Hey, you know I love you.
You're going to have to think
about that sometime.
Sometime is coming up.
Happy birthday.
Oh man, hey wait.
Thanks for remembering.
Sure.
I like the new chair.
Yeah, it's good.
It's much more visual than
the last one.
Think so?
Yeah.
Not very
comfortable though.
Yeah, visually it didn't work with
the cushions.
Looks great, sucks to sit on.
I'm representing the firm
for the Athens job,
Charlie told me that I might have to meet
with Bob at the architectural site,
they need expertise on the
architectural structural system
so I might be a little
longer than usual.
If I go to Sydney I'll give
you a call okay?
Let you know when
I'm coming back.
Wait.
We'll talk when I
get back, okay?
But Rusty I'm really, really
tired of living in a hotel.
It's the Tropical!
Janice Joplin died here;
it's like the hottest hotel in Hollywood.
Yes, but I want something
more permanent.
Say hi to Bob for me.
Yeah.
This one is May 1936.
Well that's good,
but not good enough.
Has to be 1935
and July please.
I've got it, June 1935.
June?
June's good, I
could approve June.
It's a month before
the house was finished.
Let's see.
Color is good!
Design is good,
texture is good...
uh, oh, what's this?
What?
Do you see it?
Look, there's a crack.
Yes!
F*ck!
Keep looking.
You can't even see it!
Garret it has to
be perfect, okay,
you can't put your name on
something unless it's absolutely
perfect, we just have to
keep looking that's all.
Rusty I need a minute.
Sorry, still looking.
Rusty, we'll find a sink okay,
can we have a minute please?
How are we supposed to
find a sink if we're talking?
This is serious.
I got a call from the
Howell's last night.
What?
They're not upset
about the house I hope.
The house is perfect, they can
They love your work.
Okay.
And that's the thing, they
want you to design a house
for their daughter.
Did they find another
Frank Lloyd Wright to restore?
No, they want you to design this
one from the ground up and I
told them it's the chance
you've been waiting for.
They're nightmare
clients, nightmare clients.
I thought I was going to have a
nervous breakdown in the last
house I did for them.
You think you're going to have
project we do.
What about the noitra, I mean
life on this project.
You said I should put my
whole life into this project.
Rusty listen to me, I think that
we need to get you moving past
the (inaudible)
restorations, okay,
think that that's all you do.
I got a call from a Russian
magazine last week
about your last restoration.
Magazine, Russia?
Yeah, Russia and I think
they want to do an interview.
Russian magazine?
Rusty I don't think
it's a good idea,
I think it will only perpetuate
the whole restoration thing and
not showcase your
design work.
Should I do an
interview in the magazine?
Rusty the point is even people
in Siberia only think that you
do restorations, okay.
I mean you need to break
out, make some other kind of
statement, move
