Just get it done, Steve, if you

want your parent's house back.

Just pay me.

Don't look at that, come

here, don't look at that.

How about this?

Cash only, no checks.

And that's on sale.

Great, thanks.

She can take my shop, but I'm

not leaving her anything.

Yeah.

I'm letting it go.

You do that, pal, let it all go.

John

now, normally by this time...

Steve's already had about eight

cups of coffee...

And he doesn't really handle

the caffeine all that well.

So, a little secret between you

and I is I switched the brew...

In our office with decaf, you

know, to take the edge off.

John. Have you seen

a picture around here...

A picture of my house?

Wow, this is good coffee.

Ah... the Samoans called

looking for you.

I said that you were very sorry.

Good. You didn't give them the

address to the office, right?

No.

Good.

Although, I'm sure if they were

to do any type...

Of light investigating, they

could find out where it is.

Um... what about the picture?

It's a picture of my family's

house.

No. Look, the insurance company

said they won't pay...

Until you get a couple things

sorted out.

A picture of my parent's house.

Yeah, I haven't seen it.

It was on my desk.

Okay, still, no house.

The insurance company said that

we won't get paid...

Until we, you know, file them.

Mm-hm. We're on a new case now.

Great.

Lew the Jew, all his apartment

buildings...

You're getting graffiti

all over the place.

There's a month of my life

down the drain.

The house, it was on my

desk... it was right...

Sorry, this is it right here.

Oh, oh, well, let's see what

this photo is all about.

This is me as a kid. Look, seven

years old right there.

I'm holding the dog.

That's you?

Yeah.

You're such a fat kid.

You know, my parent's fed me all

the wrong food, but...

Yeah, a lot of it, too.

Looks like you might have had

a third brother that you ate.

Surprised you didn't eat

the dog.

Just because of how big you are.

But you're good now, so...

Do you know any graffiti

artists around here?!

No, not personally...

Well, then you should find some,

how about that!

Yeah, sure, definitely,

I'll find some graffiti artists.

You should get some more

of this coffee, too.

Yep, definitely.

Steve, I need you.

I lost a lot of this weight

right away.

Come on, buddy.

You also lost a lot of that

hair right away, too.

Steve.

Hey.

I need your help.

All right, when?

Right now.

Right now?

Right now.

You know why. I'm desperate.

Okay. All right, buddy,

in the back, up we go.

Right now, huh?

Yep.

Stay low, buddy.

Put this in your ear, you'll be

able to hear me...

Talking to you the whole time.

Okay.

You sure you want to go
