Wow, I can't believe this
weather, it's just miserable.
(sighs) Top shelf.
(thunder rumbles)
Yeah, but I'm not
sure this is any better.
(loud thud)
Thanks.
(man mumbles)
(thunder rumbles)
Bet you Wilson's place
is worse than this place.
(laughing)
You guys staying at Wilson's place?
(laughs) No.
Well, he's married the boss's daughter.
(faint speaking)
(suspenseful music)
(faint speaking)
(laughter)
I hope he does (laughs).
She does have a little
extra padding (laughs).

(faint speaking and laughter)
(suspenseful music)
What a dump.
Okay, so getting back to Wilson.
The very day of the closing.
Wilson, check the current
number on the Anderson account.
Don't use the current numbers,
use the projected numbers I supplied.
You know, I brought him into this deal.
(thunder rumbles)
I said to make
a quarter-of-a-mill on this one.
and I can write my own ticket.
Just pad numbers and the Andersons pick up
the rest of the cost.
Okay, so you know what he says to me?
He says, "But, that's not honest!"
Iay hey, I'm not in business to be honest.
I'm in business to make money.
What a dink!
Okay, so after all my
reworking the numbers,
make sure to use the numbers
that I gave you, Wilson.
But no, Wilson's got it
all figured out (laughs).
So what happened?
The numbers are dropped.
Wilson didn't recalculate my adjustment
and instead of making
my four-quarter-a-mill,
I ended up walking away with half of that.
Oh man.
Well, what does he care?
He's the boss's son-in-law,
he doesn't have to worry.
The family's worth a fortune.
What a dink.
- What a day.
- What a day.
Right (laughs).
Sometimes I can't believe
these positions with authority, you know?
But he's honest.
Yeah.
What did the old man say?
What could he say?
You can't show up to Thanksgiving dinner
with bad blood between he and Wilson.
What will his precious little girl say?
He's content to have me
keep the holiday peace
in this house and all it cost me was 1/8th
of $1 million.
(laughter)
(sighs) With a handicap like him,
you won't retire until
you're well over 50.
Well, it affects you too.
I know!
Because of Wilson, I barely
cleared half-a-mill last year
and with the economy
the way it is and having
to interact with people like him,
it's no wonder we can
make a living at all.
- Dink!
- Dink!
(laughter)
It's too late.
It's too late.
No, it's wrong.
She's here for you.
You, she's here for you.
(thunder rumbles)
I don't know what I'm complaining about.
I don't want to have that money anyway,
not with the way the wife spend it.
Yeah?
The other day I came home
and she had all new drapes
made for the entire house.
Didn't she just have that
Yeah, but she has a new friend who is
an interior designer.
They met at the club and
they go out on Thursdays,
girls' afternoon tea.
They go out for tea (laughs)?
No (laughs)!
Well, I don't know, I just said that.
Who knows what they do?
Think of ways to spend my money, no doubt.
(laughter)
I say to her, you had two
professional career choices
in life, marry a rich
man or go on Welfare.
(laughter)
Either way, it's a free ride.
(laughter)
And then the son comes
