lt`s not that l don`t want him to see--

Don`t you think you should eat eggs

for breakfast? Something healthy.

l don`t like eggs.

Anyways, all you`ve got here is tuna.

Lots of tuna.

And one TV dinner?

TV dinners are cool.

You should get the TV to go with them.

l like tuna fish.

Hi, Mom. No.

No.

So what if l am?

So? He`s my father.

Well, l don`t care.

l don`t care!

Well, l will if l want!

No. l know.

Okay, l promise.

Okay, bye.

She mad?

At me, not you.

-She said she was gonna call the police.

-Oh, God.

Oh, God.

But now she just wants me home

in time for summer school.

When`s that start?

Monday.

Today`s Thursday.

That`s okay, isn`t it?

--three, four.

Let it out. Good, very good.

You`ve got stains on your carpet.

ls that what you were thinking about,

stains on my carpet?

You can sit up.

Yeah, carpet stains...

...and that l have a 1 4-year-old girl

l barely know living in my house.

Trust me, they`re not so difficult, kids.

You have to make sure

they eat their vegetables...

...don`t stay up too late,

don`t watch too much TV.

Otherwise, just try to be as honest

and open with them as possible.

-As honest and open with them as possible.

-Right?

Right!

l need a check okay on three.

Manager for a check okay on three, please.

The line for that one`s shorter.

No, this one`s better.

We need a price check

on a five-pound bag of Red Delicious.

Dad, hurry! Hurry!

Pygmies!

We`re making spaghetti.

Yeah. Happy times. Happy times.

Here it comes.

The chefs in ltaly say the spaghetti`s

-No sauce to go over it?

-lt`s spaghetti alio olio!

And it`s got basil leaves in it.

See the leaves?

Enjoy it.

-Walters?

-Waller. keep the change.

l`m happy now.

-Sure you don`t want something?

-l gotta fly in two hours.

-Where to?

-Phoenix.

A client`s opening an account to bridge

the pound and Euro. l gotta hold his hand.

Would you please heat this up?

-That bad?

-Yeah.

For some folks, money is a foreign film

-To the business at hand.

-To the business at hand.

l have one rule, Chuck. Simple is safe.

l`ll tell you as little as possible

about what l do...

...but as much as l need to to make you

comfortable with what we`re doing.

What are we doing?

Five thousand pounds sterling.

A perk of working in exchange at a bank.

-Whose is it?

-No one`s.

Just money unaccounted for, floating on

top of the books like a layer of cream.

And he just scoops it off.

Well, it`s a little more-- Bob!

lt`s a little more complicated than that,

but again, simple is safe.

Why not keep it yourself?

As a bank employee, any attempt to change
