How about some spaghetti?

-Get inside. Get in, come on.

-Oh, God. Jesus, come on inside.

-Come on, come on. Get in.

-God dog, that smells good.

Show Max your muscle.

Make it. Make it big.

Pretty hard. Let me see the other one.

Make two of them.

Two of them at once, here.

You work out?

Does he work out? Come here.

-Show Max what we do on Saturdays.

-You teaching him to defend himself?

You bet your ass. On our days off.

-How could you teach him?

-Got one in.

Got one in there. Come on.

-Okay, okay.

-He's gonna whip your ass.

Where's them cigars?

Hey. I told....

So he's....

Don't be hitting me

when I'm not looking at you.

Oh, he's just playing.

You defend yourself pretty good there.

-You been in many fights?

-Yeah, 1 0.

-Ten? Not bad. How many have you won?

-Eighteen.

Really? That's not a bad record.

Eighteen out of 1 0.

Hey, how you feel?

You wanna go out and hit the tubs?

-Yeah.

-Let's go.

I think he'd better go in

and clean up his room now.

Selma, let me have about 1 0 minutes

with him, because I wanna make it--

-I didn't mean to get mad.

-I know.

-He's gotta get to bed early, okay?

-Just let-- We--

Let him go in

and clean up his room, okay?

He's gotta get up early

tomorrow morning.

-Okay?

-Okay.

Come here. I get a kiss.

-I get one too. Good night.

-Give Max a kiss. That's it.

Everybody gets a kiss.

-Hey, I'm sorry.

-Okay.

I didn't mean to get mad.

Okay?

Didn't mean to get mad at you.

See you later. Excuse me.

I'll be getting that board together.

You got any more coffee?

That Henry is a nice boy.

Yes, he is.

Come here, man. Get up here.

Come on. Get up here.

Come on. Get up here.

Sit up here. Smart dog.

Come here.

Want something to eat?

Okay if I give him some ice cream?

Sure. He'll eat anything,

Next time I'm down here,

I'm gonna bring him a steak bone.

In fact, as soon as Willy turns his back,

I'm gonna steal this dog.

You know, Max,

I don't wanna hurt your feelings...

...but your being around here

is kind of bad timing for us.

Why is that?

Well, Willy's been doing real good,

you know.

He's been doing real fine.

He's been working hard lately.

And I know you're good friends

and he really loves you...

...but I just don't think it's good

that he see you right now.

You know what I mean?

You trying to tell me

you don't want me to come here no more?

I don't mean to be unkind...

...but I just think it's better that he doesn't
