I just need the extension.

It's too late for an extension.

The bank's already

called in your loan.

What do you mean?

What do you mean, called in my loan?

The power of sale foreclosure

proceedings have already begun.

Your property will be on the market

in the next several days

unless... unless you can pay

a significant sum here today.

I'm a farmer.

I can't pay you

until my crops are ready.

If you can raise something

before we get any offers,

I'm sure we might be able

to take another look.

Otherwise I'm sorry,

Mr. Murphy.

Well, I'm not asking you

for a bailout.

I can pay you in two weeks,

in less than a month.

Man:
There's nothing I can do.

I'm sorry.

Okay, ladies,

pick your poison.

Girls:

Operation. Operation.

Play this one.

(girls whine)

Nah...

Girl:

Look at this thing.

(girls chattering)

(crowd cheering)

Two guys wide open...

and you run it, like an idiot.

(static buzzes)

(groans)

(knocking on door)

Girl:

Daddy? Daddy?

Sorry, I fell asleep

with the girls.

No, that's okay.

How did it go at the bank?

It went great.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

What did I tell you?

I knew it would work out.

Guess who I ran into.

Who's that?

They wanted to stick around

and say hi.

(loud music playing)

- Oh, there he is.

- (music stops)

"Mr. Football."

Hey, Hall.

Hey, Hall?

What the hell is that?

Hey, Scotty.

Nice to see you.

- How have you been, buddy?

- Good.

I send you tickets.

I don't see you.

I ain't got many years

left in me, you know?

Oh, hey, we got the Steelers

on Monday,

but I wanted to get back

for the ceremony and see the guys.

Check it.

(laughing)

Oh, yeah.

- I don't think mine would fit anymore.

- Like a glove.

Murphy:
Come on, Mace,

the girls are next door.

We really should get going.

Oh, that's right.

You have kids.

Two.

Hey, why don't you guys

come for dinner?

- I can cook and...

- Mace, I'm sure they got plenty of...

- No, you could just catch up.

...people they have to see besides us.

Come on, we really should

get going... the girls.

- Okay.

- It's good seeing you guys.

Yeah.

(engine starts)

- Hall:
Thank you.

- No, it's so good to see you guys.

- I got it.

- Oh, thank you.

Hey, we're doing something

at Pal's after the game.

You'd better be there.

See you guys.

Great.

Yeah.

(country music playing

on radio)

I thought you'd be excited.

You were so close

in high school.

Yeah, well, high school

was a long time ago.

Are you mad

they're together?

No. What kind of question

is that?

You know, if I...

if I saw my high school flame

with my best friend,

I might wonder.

Yeah, well,

I really could care less.

Since when did you have

a high school flame?
