My day starts at 6:30 AM.
I don't need an alarm clock.
I wake up everyday
and dress for my role as CEO.
That means 50
tailored suits at all times.
Right now I have 54.
Dress shirts,
very important - 128.
Crisp white, always best;
An occasional
pale yellow or blue.
Now a tie says
everything about a man.
Silk...
Ties should only be silk.
Eighty stripes, a dozen soft.
Oh, and one rogue paisley
in Palm Beach.
Probably hammered at noon.
Shoes:
Black and brown.
Lace-up only.
Well, if this all sounds
like much of the same,
it's because it is...
my routine, my life,
my business.
Served me well for 31 years...
Yet today
I am cashing it all in.
And for the first time
in my life
I'll be working
for someone else.
That's a big change for me...
and I'm not real good
with change...
As you can tell.
Um, too tight.
More.
More.
Stop, too thin.
Go back...
Again...
That's it. Freeze.
Nice.
You're done, thank you.
- Darling, you're late!
- What?
Yes! Remember?
Party tonight.
You go, get dressed, hurry.
Yes, all right.
Jason, what are you doing?
Hello!
Can we have more?
I think we have more.
Go!
Do I have to do
everything myself?
[Knock on door]
Yes.
You never could
tie a proper knot.
Here, let me.
What am I gonna do, sis?
Silly question.
You enjoy the company
of your friends, darling.
I'm not talking about tonight.
What are you
trying to say, Paulie?
They retired me today.
- What!
- Yes.
Oh, Christ.
Okay, I'm gonna have
a nervous breakdown.
- Can they do that?
- They can and they did.
Yeah, but do we
still get the money?
Yes, we get the money.
Oh, okay... Okay.
Then you know what? So what!
You are a successful man.
And that's what we are here
My gorgeous brother.
All right, you ready?
I'm ready.
Let's knock 'em dead.
Here he is people,
the toast of the town.
[Applause]
Thank you very much.
Albert...
Good to see you.
Thank you. Nice tuxedo.
Congratulations, darling!
Oh, thank you very much!
You remember my sister, Irene.
Irene, as beautiful as ever!
How long has it been?
- Every bit of ten years.
- Ten years?
I don't think
I've been back east
since Bonnie's wedding.
Well, if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to find Ben,
while you two, uh, catch up.
You look well.
Thank you.
It really is good to see you.
How's Glen?
Dating a 12-year-old.
Where's a rock
when you need one?
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
You know, I just met her.
- Sky?
- Yeah.
Does she look gorgeous
or what?
Ageless.
You are a good liar, Paul Greco.
- Mr. Paul?
- Yes.
I think we're all set here now.
We'll be heading out.
Oh! I'll walk you out.
- Ladies, if you'll excuse me.
- Surely.
You look fabulous.
So what did he say?
You told him
you were separated, right?
He was very sweet.
Well, if he doesn't
make a move he's crazy.
You are perfect for him!
Even so, don't expect much.
Sally said she dated him
for six months and nada!
Much what?
Come on.
What?
Sex...
Sally said there was never
anything more than a kiss.
Six months!
You know what?
Listen to me.
I heard that
about Paul before anyway.
Well, I haven't.
And let me tell you,
Sally is not Irene.
Picked up this marvelous
minute repeater last week.
Looks like a watch to me.
It's about the complication, Al.
The more complicated
the more expensive?
- Exactly.
- I'll stick to simple.
You always have...
Maybe a little complication
wouldn't be so bad.
[Bell ringing]
Everyone, I'd like
to make a toast!
Does everybody have champagne?
- Of course.
- Excellent.
Paulie, come over here, please.
Oh, I hate this.
I know, I know.
To my dearest brother, Paulie,
who has worked so hard
for so many years...
Thank you for your generosity,
for putting up with me.
Yeah, at least.
And for all that you bring
to all of our lives.
Congratulations and cheers.
Cheers!
Thank you, Elise.
Oh, wait, wait!
Everyone, I forgot!
appreciation for my brother.
Oh, mother of God,
what is that?
It's called a puppy, dear.
Look, how cute.
What the hell
do I know about dogs?
Well, what am I
supposed to do with it?
It's not an it, it's a her.
And you are to walk her
and feed her and love her.
She's all yours.
Does she come with a pre-nup?
Does it have a name?
Whatever you want
to name her, darling.
- She's awfully warm.
- I know.
- Oh, Christ!
- What?
She's pissin' all over me!
Oh, and so adorable.
It's just a tiny little drop.
Just go change
and I'll take care of her.
Thank you, everyone.
Look at her.
Is she adorable or what?
I know.
[Knock on door]
Come in.
Let's go see what daddy's doing.
Yes, you are a sweet thing.
I know. I love you too.
Tomorrow that is going
back where she came from.
Come on, Paul.
Just give her a chance.
God, you loved Bailey
when we were kids.
- You lived for that dog.
- I was a kid.
Now I'm a middle-aged man
with a hernia.
I mean, really, Elise,
what the hell were you thinking?
That you're a middle-aged man
with a hernia, who lives alone,
and could use a little
regular companionship.
Come on, Paul.
Look at her.
Look at that face.
I think she loves you already.
Come on, here you go.
- Is that lipstick?
- Um-hmm.
I'll tell you what...
Why don't you just
keep her for a month
and then if it
doesn't work out,
I'll take her, okay?
- Do I have a choice?
- No.
Trust me...
You will love her.
Now that you're retired
you have all that time
to get to know each other.
Hmm?
She's fed and walked
and exhausted,
so you don't have to
until tomorrow
when the trainer comes.
- Trainer?
- Yeah, Mindy.
She'll be here at 9:00.
She's supposed to be the best.
Now, um, what else?
Oh, I put wee-wee pads
on the kitchen floor,
and, um, gave her
a bowl of water...
So she should be just fine.
Right, sweetie?
Just check on her
when you get up in the morning.
It was a gorgeous party.
- If you do say so yourself.
- Yes.
Night.
Oh, and do me a favor
and think of a name.
Can't call her 'it' forever.
See ya later.
All right, darling, good night.
Good night.
[Dog whining, crying]
Christ! What?
What? What is wrong?
What do you want?
Come on.
There.
Good morning, Mr. Paul!
Good morning, Claire!
I'm gonna put
Oh, brother!
Who gonna care for that thing?
I'm not picking up no
dog business in this house.
No disrespect, Mr. Paul,
but I'm not doing that.
Claire, relax.
Sit down, meet her.
What she name?
Haven't decided.
She not a bad looking thing.
Coffee.
Oh, brother!
This whole thing
got Miss Elise name
written all over it.
[Phone ringing]
I got it.
Hello.
Yes, thank you.
Send her up.
It's the dog beater.
Hi, I'm Mindy.
Come on.
He in here with that thing.
Hi, I'm Mindy.
Hello, I'm Paul Greco.
