right by your side,

and if you decide

to go all the way with this,

go to trial,

I will be there for you too.

Do you think I'm a monster?

No, no.

Of course not.

You don't think

I'm a monster?

Not at all.

Can you get my spot?

Yeah.

That's it.

I hate to break it

to you Effie,

but that is not a Jewish man

I'm looking at.

To his children,

Henry Meyerwitz

was more of a face

on a billboard than a father.

He was like the Marlboro man,

but shorter and Jewish.

Jack.

Good morning.

Morning.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

That's okay.

That's when your Dad and I Won

the tournament at Riviera.

Do you remember that?

- Not really.

- The man is an animal.

He's an absolute killer

at the net.

I don't doubt that.

So I see you've been looking

at the plans.

Yeah.

Looked them over

pretty carefully,

and, um, they're good.

But I... I kept hoping

that they would be, um...

Better?

No. No, not better.

Just...

different.

Maybe, um, next time?

Un, now many times are you

going to remodel the den?

Say hi to your Dad for me.

Will do.

Your card is no good, man.

It's been rejected.

No good?

That's impossible.

It's my brother's..

I'll take care of this.

When Joel was seven,

he asked his father

to give him a dollar

to buy some candy.

His father turned him down.

So he asked his brother Jack.

He's been borrowing money

from him ever since.

Hello?

Jack, hey, it's Joel.

How you...

Jack? Jack?

Dropped call or...

What?

Hey, Jack. Hey.

How are you?

Lost you back there, bro.

You didn't lose me.

I hung up.

This is serious.

There's something wrong

with your credit card.

There's nothing wrong

with the card.

I trusted you.

Look at the thanks I get.

What are you talking about?

The monthly statement.

You think I don't read it?

$800 dollars

at the Pump Station.

What is that,

another strip club?

No, it's not a strip club.

It's a personal training center.

I'm kickboxing now.

- You're boxing?

- It's not just boxing.

Muay Thai.

You know, it's...

if you want to get

in the best shape of your life,

then trust me on this one.

You should try it.

Kickboxing is the way to go.

Are you there? Jack?

Are you listening?

This is important.

Look, Joel.

I'm having a rough morning,

all right?

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

Is there anything I can do?

Yeah, of course there's

something you can do.

Stop asking me for money.

Stop creating crises.

You know what,

I believe

that people can change,

and I'm gonna

turn things around,

and you're gonna see that.

I am gonna turn this around.

I'm gonna take care of my debt.

I'm gonna get

my practice going again.

I'm gonna get married,

and I am gonna have a good life.
