Couldn't have

without that catch by Heyward.

Excuse me. Did you just say Jair Jurrjens

pitched a no-hitter?

Walked one, or would have had

a perfect game. Blowing people away.

I doubt that.

I'm sorry?

He's a sinker-ball guy.

He's crafty, makes his living

on the corners.

You're quite a baseball fan.

Just picked up a few things growing up.

You have one new message.

Mickey, it's Daniel Rosenbloom.

We've spoken with

the partnership committee.

You win the Landau case...

I think we'll be holding a big reception

to introduce you as the firm's new partner.

Yes!

Who the hell is calling me up

at this time of night?

Hello?

The undersigned hereby substitutes

Georgia Reconveyance Company...

Mickey?

- What?

- You have a visitor.

Pete.

Can we talk for a second?

Have you noticed anything lately?

Has he been acting any differently?

No, he is as unpleasant as usual.

He been sick at all?

I don't think so.

Mick, if something goes wrong

up in Carolina with this kid Gentry...

he's gonna be out of a job.

Well, let's hope that doesn't happen.

That would be the end

of one of the all-time great love stories.

- He wouldn't do well without his work.

- What do you want me to do about it?

Carolina's beautiful this time of year.

No. No way.

He has his life, I have my life.

That is the way it's always been.

That's the way he wants it.

Just for a couple of days.

To make sure everything goes okay.

It'd be nice for you two

to spend some time together.

Nice for who?

If you won't do it for him, do it for me.

He's my friend for 30 years.

I care about him.

Don't try to manipulate me.

I'm an attorney, that's my job.

I'm sorry, I'm just...

I'm really busy right now.

I appreciate your time, Mickey.

I just thought you should know.

Yeah.

I'm sorry about not being

around here lately.

But I been working a lot and...

Your little girl...

you'd really be proud of her.

She's gonna be made a partner in the firm.

How about that?

I don't know where she got the brains.

It's got to be from you.

It wasn't from my part of the family,

that's for sure.

Anyway, I need you around to talk to her.

You were always good at that.

I have a hard time with that, you know?

You are my sunshine.

My only sunshine.

You make me happy.

When skies are gray.

You'll never know dear.

How much I love you.

Please.

Don't take your sunshine away.

Cut the crap, Lloyd.

I'm his daughter.

Then he can tell you.

Please?

His eyes are going.

He needs to see a specialist right away.

Who is it?

If this is a robbery,

just take anything you want.

But leave that flat-screen.

You take my flat-screen, I'll kill you.

Did you set off a bomb in here?
