- with my mother.

Your wife used to give me piano lessons.

Oh, right, right.

How are you?

Oh, my goodness.

I haven't seen you in so long.

We thought that you

sold the place.

You haven't met Sprinkles.

This is Sprinkles. Say hello.

Hello. How is your wife?

Oh, my wife passed away.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

My... My condolences to you.

She was a lovely woman.

Honestly, I could

listen to her play piano for hours.

How is your mother?

My mother is fine.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for asking. She's in Florida.

So I'm living alone now, and it's nice,

but I tell you, there are so many

new people in this building,

- and Mr. Sprinkles and I...

- It's nice to see you again, Jacob.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you. Welcome home.

Thank you.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Stop it.

Come on, honey.

We find that,

under these circumstances,

financial globalization

can be beneficial.

Empirically, it's good institution

and quality of government

that will allow third world countries

to benefit and harvest

the fruits of globalization.

Great stuff, huh?

Maybe we should have 'em

come play inside.

Uh, you coming?

In a minute. Uh, I gotta make a call.

- Oh. Uh, see you inside.

- Okay.

- ##

- Hey, Walter.

Welcome home.

Hi.

How was the conference?

It was fine.

Sorry about the pants. I...

I've been practicing

like this since I was a kid.

You... You don't have

to stop practicing.

Really? it won't bother you?

- No. It's fine.

- Great.

Hey, uh, Zainab's going to make dinner,

if you want to eat with us later.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

That was my mother in Michigan.

If I don't call her every day,

she thinks something happened to me.

Yeah, I'll have a bit. Thanks.

You sure you won't have some?

I don't drink.

She's a good Muslim. I'm a bad one.

Are you finished?

Yes. Uh... can I help you?

No. Please.

It's the least I can do.

Well, thank you for dinner.

It was very good.

- You're welcome.

- Thank you.

So what's the conference about?

Economic growth

in developing nations.

That's us. Syria, Senegal.

So have you written some books?

Three, and I'm working on a fourth.

- Four books.

- Mm-hmm.

Wow. That's great.

My father was a writer. A journalist.

Is he still writing?

No. He died before we left Syria,

almost nine years ago.

Sorry.

Me, too.

- Tarek.

- Mmm.

Mmm. We have to go.

I have a gig.

Walter, you can come if you want.

Oh, no. I've got some work

I have to get done. Thank you.

Okay. Well, maybe another time.

Okay.

- Bye.

- Good-bye.

You know, you are very sexy

when you're mad at me.

Hello?

If you don't mind, I think I will come.

Cool.

Let me get my coat.

Hohh!

He's very good.
