Lawyer? I thought our credit

was aII cIeaned up.

No, I don`t think it`s about that.

They won`t make us move again, wiII they?

It`s gonna be aII right.

Whatever it is, we`II deaI with it.

Mr. Kriticos?

That`s right. You are?

Ben Moss. How do you do?

PIease, come in.

Is now a good time, or...?

As good a time as any.

PIease, just give me one minute.

Sorry. I`m ready.

I represent the estate of your uncIe

Cyrus Kriticos.

We have an UncIe Cyrus?

Had. I onIy met him a coupIe of times

as a kid.

He wasn`t too popuIar.

My dad said

he squandered the famiIy fortune.

We have a famiIy fortune?

No. Cyrus squandered it.

Bobby, isn`t that great?

You have a Iate uncIe.

-What is he Iate for?

-His next birthday.

You mean, he`s dead?

-Now we get his attention.

-Pipe down.

Cyrus recorded this message

six weeks ago.

He asked that it be pIayed for you

in the event of his death.

Arthur...

...it`s good to talk to you.

Sadly, if you`re watching this now,

it means l am no longer among the living.

Happily, that makes you and your family

my sole beneficiaries.

l`ve instructed my lawyer, Mr. Moss...

...to deliver the essential elements

in my last will and testament.

Give it to them, Ben.

A key?

A key to what?

A key to your new house.

What?

This house is the fruit of my life`s work.

Bathrooms.

Everyone gets their own bathroom.

Is this for reaI?

lt is a one-of-a-kind home.

lt`s my home, actually.

My home.

l have no complaints.

l`ve led an interesting life.

l have seen some amazing things.

But the only regret l have, is that

l never got to know my nephew Arthur...

...nor appreciate the love of a family,

like you have.

This house is my attempt

to make up for that.

Enjoy.

Perhaps we`ll meet again...

...in another life.

-Wow!

-When can we see it?

The house is yours whenever you Iike.

I`m heading up there after work.

If you want, you, your wife and kids--

Time-out. I am not the missus here.

My wife....

My wife is....

Our mom got burned to death in a fire.

What? It`s true.

That`s enough, Robert.

Mr. Moss, exactIy where is this pIace?

A couple hours drive from here,

a town called Willow Grove...

...just up the parkway.

lt`s in a gorgeous area. But l warn you,

your uncle liked his privacy.

There isn`t a neighbor for miles.

Come on. Hurry up.

S-U-F.

Suffocate. I got it. I win.

So what? You think you`re so sIick.

Come on, you guys. We`re aImost there.

-Excited?

-Yeah. Mom wouId have freaked over this.

Looks Iike things are

starting to get better, right?

Yeah.

That`s strange.

Dad, it`s beautifuI.

My God. I`ve never seen anything Iike it.

CooI!

So futuroic.

It`s about time somebody showed up.
