some hurt feelings.

Maybe you get some, uh--

you know, maybe somebody

goes to bed hungry that week.

You know, it doesn't matter.

F***ing idiot!

Still got more cards!

Done!

[Lainie]

You don't get to

choose your cards

and you don't get to

choose your family,

so you just make

the best of it.

[Renee]

Well, Jack,

this should be

an interesting

challenge for you.

Mr. Lavisch is not

the kind of man

who considers requests.

[Jack]

Right.

Just giving you

a word of advice.

You want to wait over here

for me, please?

Okay.

All right.

Good luck.

Mr. Lavisch.

Renee.

Yes. Hello.

Do you see the plans?

Do you see the blueprints?

Yeah, those are--

Are those the new--

Well, why aren't you

wearing your helmet?

This is a construction site,

really, technically.

Safety first, of course.

Thank you.

So, what's up?

Jack Faro is here

for your appointment.

Jack Faro...

Jack Faro?

Mm-hmm.

From the Rabbit's Foot.

Uh, do I know

a Jack Faro?

Yes.

Jeff!

No, Jack.

Jeff Faro.

Jack.

You sent me to

pick him up from rehab?

You scheduled a--

Not Jeff?

Jack. Definitely Jack.

I really don't

have time right now.

I mean--

Okay, I've got

five minutes.

[Renee]

Perfect, that's all we need.

Let's go talk to him.

[Steve]

We have to go there?

I haven't got time

for that.

It would take us five minutes

just go down to the car.

There's Jack.

He's just right there.

That's him.

Oh, that Jeff.

Jack.

Jack. Let's get it

over with.

Right this way.

It's Rabbit's Foot,

Jack Faro.

Right, right, right.

Dick.

Jack.

Good to see you.

Hello. How are you?

Good. Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Oh, that's Renee.

How are you?

How's everything going?

What do you think?

Oh. Yeah.

Isn't it pretty?

Isn't that something?

It's very nice.

Guess how many rooms.

[chuckles]

Don't.

Take a wild guess

how many rooms.

I knew you'd be wrong.

It's one room.

One...

One room.

One million dollars a night.

That's what

One Lavisch Plaza

is all about.

Well, now, seems like

it would be at least two rooms.

No, no, no.

See, because the air shaft

between the two towers,

you're renting that, too.

So that's all part

of your room.

The walls are just--

that's a formality.

Right.

See, my theory is that

most very wealthy men

started life

as lonely little boys,

so this would be

very nostalgic for them.

I myself despise nostalgia

because...it's so old.

One Lavisch Plaza.

[chuckles]

So what can I do for you?

Uh, so, you know,

the deal that we made,

I was wondering if maybe--

It's no problem

to pay you back,

but if I could have

a little extension...

I think you're doing

exactly the right thing.

Get out of the business now.
