Man, you've been studying for a while.

Yeah, I got finals in a few days.

Oh, I remember finals.

You remember any of the answers?

I remember studying in the library.

There was one professor who took a
particular interest in me.

He would stand behind my chair and help
me study.

He was probably just trying to look down
your shirt.

For your information, he had a bad back.
He had to lean over.

And some days it was so bad he would lie
on the floor.

Days you wore a skirt.

Oh, my God, I'm calling the college.

Yeah, we were behind in the fourth, but
Tony got this really huge... Honey, I

think your ass is smoking.

Thanks, baby. You're not too bad
yourself.

Why don't you get cleaned up? I'll meet
you in the get -out.

Christine? What is this?

Okay, forget you saw that and you don't
have to get cleaned up first.

Christine, I can't believe you're
smoking again.

No, I started again last week. I think
with all the pressures of finals and

trying to take care of the kids, I just
wanted to, I don't know, die sooner.

You know you have to quit. I know.

Well, are you going to try to patch
again?

No, no, I don't like having those things
around the house. Remember when Dominic

skimmed his knee and thought they were
band -aids?

He was running around the house like a
rat on crack.

I'm gonna have to go cold turkey.

Oh.

What, you don't think I can do it?

Uh, no, it's just that, you know, last
time you quit cold turkey, uh, you were

little mean.

That's ridiculous. I'm always mean.

You threw the microwave at me.

Well, if I remember right, you had it
coming.

I asked... how your day was going.

And then you knew.

I know you're trying to quit smoking,
but is it really good for you to be

chewing all that gum?

What did she say?

She suggested that you go love yourself.

Well, everyone, I don't want you to get
too excited, but there's a chance I may

soon be executive director of business
affairs.

I thought that's what you were already.

Oh, he's the manager of business
affairs. No, I'm not. I'm the executive

of business affairs.

I got that promotion over a year ago.
Oh, that's right. That's when you got

own bathroom. That was so great for you.

Greg had a hard time using public
bathrooms. Kim, I'm over that.

I now hover.

So, uh, this is a promotion.

Yeah, I mean, if I get it, it's still
between me and this other guy, Stewart.

When it comes to cost analysis and
future projections, he's a regular John

Maynard Keynes.

He was the father of modern economic
theory.

Him good with adding machines.

Wow, this guy Stewart sounds like a
bigger nerd than you.

He is.

So, what are you going to do to make
sure you get the promotion?

Same thing I've always done. Work hard,
do a good job.

Well, yeah, that's gotten you to here,
but now you've got to do something

going to, you know, put you over the
edge.

You've got to schmooze.

I don't schmooze.

Oh, come on, man. Everybody schmoozes.
Not me. I'm not kissing butt to get this

job. I am not talking about kissing
butt. I'm just talking about romancing

little.

I just don't want to be one of those
guys that sucks up to his boss to get

ahead. But you don't mind going to
church.

What do you think prayer is?

Just sucking up to the big boss.

It's like, hallelujah!

Trust me, he knows you don't want to be
there.

Well, if you know so much about this,
why don't you write a book about how to

become successful and then read it?

All I'm trying to say is you've got to
do whatever it takes to get ahead.

I try to spend time with my boss every
chance I get. Why do you think I play on

the company's softball team every
Saturday?

To get ahead of watching the kids?

To have an excuse to drink beer at 10 a
.m.? To relive your high school glory

days and prop up your fragile ego?

Sometimes, maybe, and put that big wad
of gum back in your mouth.

Hey, you all came.

Of course we came. It's the playoff.
Sorry we're late.

Oh, no problem. The game's running a
little late. The caterer couldn't get

omelet cart working.

I love Hollywood.

Greg insisted on parking all the way out
past the outfield fence.

Yeah, well, last time I was at one of
these games, some moron broke my

windshield with a foul ball.

I had to go to his house like 20 times
to demand that he pay for it. Greg, he

was 12.

He paid you back as soon as he got his
bar mitzvah money.

Okay, baby, have a good game. Remember,
we're going to be in the stands rooting

for you, all right?

So, uh, who are all these guys?

Oh, they're from all over the studio.
Uh, we got a couple of the other

guards. We got some cameramen. We got
some executives.

Executives? How come no one asked me to
play?

Greg, do I really have to toss a ball in
your direction and watch you scurry out

of the way, or can we not have this
conversation?

They got the omelet cart working. You
ready to go, Jimmy? Oh, you bet,

Oh, you better hurry. They're running
out of goat cheese.

Oh, hey, Greg. Hey, Mr. Savitsky.

Coming out to support the team? Yes,
sir.

Good boy.

Go get some eggs if you want.

My God, Jimmy, that's my boss.

Georgie's your boss?

He's everyone's boss. He runs the whole
studio.

Yeah, well, go on. Here's your chance.
Go lay a little lip on him. I don't work

like that, Jimmy. Oh, come on. It's not
that hard. Watch.

Hey, Phil!

That's my boss.

Looking good, man. Hey, you lose a
couple LBs? Yeah, man.

Looking trim.

Seriously.

Hey, I saw your wife in the stands.

Oh, my God. She is hot.

You must be great in the sack to get
with a girl like that, huh?

See? That is how you conduct business.

Stupid ketchup packets. They're like
little grenades.

I've been thinking about your promotion.

It wouldn't kill you to go over and have
a conversation with your boss.

Kim, I'm not going to kiss butt.

Listen, Greg, I've been real patient so
far, but I need a new dishwasher.

I'm not asking you to tickle his ass
with a feather. Just go talk to him.

Fine.

Go get him, Jimmy.

Jimmy! Yeah?

Hey, what's the score? I want to go talk
to Mr.

Savitsky, and I want him to think that
I've been paying attention.

It's tied in the last inning, and
there's two outs.

Come on, Jimmy, you're up!

Go get it, buddy!

God damn it, get it!

Gee, Greg, we're just trying to get a
hit here, not cure cancer. Yes, we are,

sir. Yes, we are. So anyway...

Yes, it did, sir. Yes, it did.

That was amazing.

You won the game, Dad.

Yeah, great shot, baby.

Well, I did it for you, you know. I
figured if I could win the game, you

win your fight against cigarettes.

Thanks, Jimmy. I just stopped thinking
about them.

Fortunately, you didn't break my
windshield, which is good, because now

drive, I'll have a clear view of that
big dent in the hood.

There he is. There's the hero of the
game.

Thanks, Georgie. This is my wife,
Christine.

That's your sister, Kim. And, of course,
you know my brother -in -law, Greg.

I didn't know Greg was your brother -in
-law. Oh, yeah. He helped me get the job

at the studio.

I live at his house, too.

Wow. What are you, his sugar daddy?

Well, we do feed him a lot of sugar.

Well, feed him whatever it takes to keep
hitting home runs.

Nice meeting you, ladies.

And Jimmy, great team.

I love this.

Georgie, I'll see you at work, Greg.

Take it easy.

Okay, well, I'll take it wherever I can
get it, sir.

That's just a saying.

Because I only get it from my wife. And
sometimes not even there.

If you know what I mean, sir.

There goes my dishwasher.

What's this?

Leftover Monday.

You know, uh, Tim, I should have called
you from work. I had, uh, half a

meatloaf, some cold Kung Pao, two hard
-boiled eggs, and some applesauce for

lunch.

Hey, Greg.

You remember the food we didn't like on
Tuesday?

It's back.

Well, no leftovers tonight. I'm taking
everyone out for dinner.

You are?

Because you were looking at the new
executive director of business affairs.

That's great!

Congratulations!

Oh, I'm so proud of you!

Yeah, it was amazing.

I was sitting in my office this morning
going over some production reports, and

Mr. Savitsky comes in. I mean, he's
never been down to my office before, so

heart's pounding. Wait a minute, I'm
getting ahead of myself.

Earlier in the day, I had heard some
rumors.

Yeah, you know who would love to hear
this story?

The waiter at the Outback Steakhouse.

I'll get Sam ready. Come on, kid.

Hey, uh, congratulations, man. Yeah,
thanks.

Yeah, so I guess the old, uh, huge
swings paid off.

What's that?

You know, the home run I hit.

Yeah,

what are you talking about?

Well, don't you think it's kind of a
coincidence that I hit a home run to win

the big game for the company team and
the next day you get a promotion?

Wow, when you put it like that, I guess
I never realized just how big of an

idiot you are.

I mean, one has nothing to do with the
other. I got that promotion because I

deserve it. Yeah, but didn't you say the
other guy deserved it, too?

Everybody ready?

Jimmy thinks I only got the promotion
because he hit that home run yesterday.

I didn't say it's the only reason. I
just think it might have helped put you,

you know, over the top.

Hmm. Never thought about that. Because
there's nothing to think about. Nothing,

okay? I got that promotion because I
deserve it. End of story.

I mean, it's crazy to think that Jimmy
hitting that home run had anything to do

with me getting that promotion.

Huh.

I never thought about that.

Because there's nothing to think about.
Stop thinking about it. Thinking about

what? Your daddy got Uncle Greg a
promotion.

Cool. Would you stop telling him that?
You're going to poison the kid's mind.

I don't see what the big deal is. Jimmy,
it's not a big deal. It's just not

true. I don't know. Maybe you should ask
your boss about it. Well, fine. Maybe I

will. It's just going to make you look
like an idiot.

Or maybe you're going to look like an
idiot. No, maybe you're going to look

an idiot. No, maybe you're going to look
like an idiot. No, maybe you're going

to look like an idiot. No, maybe you're
going to look like an idiot. Will you

shut up? You both look like idiots.

You hear that? She said you look like an
idiot. No, she said you look like an

idiot.

What is wrong with you?

Home run.

You know, like... Like, the head of a
public corporation is going to be

out promotions because somebody hit a
home run. It's laughable. Yeah,

It's hilarious.

Can we go to sleep?

I just don't want Jimmy walking around
thinking he had anything to do with me

getting that promotion.

Why? What's the big deal?

You know it's not true. Why don't you
just thank him, let him think what he

wants? Kim, so what?

So he can think that this is how the
world works?

So he can continue to live in my guest
house and wait for his numbers to hit?

It's like the world's one big lucky
scratcher to him.

I don't want him thinking that I need
his dumb luck. What do you care what he

thinks? You own a big house, have a
great job, and share your bed every

with, if I may say so, a bit of a
hottie.

You've got it good.

That's because I've worked hard. It's
not because I'm lucky.

Well, it's about the house and the job,
maybe.

What are you saying?

That in certain areas, you've had your
share of luck.

What are you talking about? What areas?

Greg. When I first met you, you were on
your way to Glee Club wearing a T -shirt

that looked like a tuxedo.

If I hadn't needed a ride across campus
that day, God knows who you would have

ended up with. No, I think I would have
been just fine. If you remember

correctly, there was a bit of a
competition for me.

From whom?

Terry. She was with me when I gave you
that ride. She loved me. You totally

stole me away from her.

That was a girl?

Yes, and a very attractive one. She was
just dressed down that day.

Wait a second. Wasn't she chewing
tobacco?

She was from the South.

So I've succeeded in finding incidental
cuts in the budget that hold down costs

without sacrificing anything in key
areas.

In fact, if you wanted to give me a
nickname, you could call me the

Because I'm able to...

Strangle every dime out of a production
budget.

Anyway, that's my report.

Well, thank you, Mr. Warner.

And if it's all right, I think we'll
just stick to calling you Greg.

Um, uh, Mr. Sofitsky, could I speak with
you a second, please? Look, if it's

about that joke, don't sweat it.

But for future reference, Joe's brother
actually was strangled.

But you know it.

Well,

actually, I just wanted to say thanks
again for the promotion.

No problem. You deserved it, kid.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk
about.

Mr. Savitsky, did I get this promotion
because I'm a hard worker or, you know,

was it something else aside from work?
You know, something more personal.

Are you coming on to me?

Oh,

of course not. Are you saying I'm not
attractive?

No, no, no.

I'm not saying that either, sir. Of
course you are. You're a handsome man.

Hey, easy, Warner. I'm just yanking your
chain.

Look, you got promoted because you work
hard.

Your record is exemplary, and you're
very good at what you do.

Well, thank you, sir.

Frankly, I don't know how you'd do it.

If I had to sit in your office all day
crunching numbers, I'd hang myself.

But you, you have a knack for mind
-numbing work.

Wow.

I appreciate it, sir. It's just I only
bring it up because my crazy brother -in

-law has got this idea that he had
something to do with me getting that

promotion. You mean Jimmy, the guy who
hit the home run?

Yeah, he thinks the fact that he hit
that home run was the reason I got the

promotion, which is ridiculous because
you yourself said it was because of my

work record.

Of course it was.

Thank you. That's all I need to know.

Thought it was a close call between you
and Stewart.

But in the end, I decided you were the
guy for the job.

Thank you, sir.

When did I decide that?

Was it after the home run?

Huh. Well, I don't want you to rack your
brain about it.

No, no, you bring up a good question.
You got me thinking.

Well, don't think on account of me, sir.

It was after the home run.

On my way home.

I was feeling good about the game and I
thought, well, maybe I'll ask around

about Greg Warner one more time.

Huh.

I guess you did get the job because of
your brother -in -law.

What do you know?

I guess you owe him a drink.

Hey.

Hey. I did it. Passed my final.

Two A's and a B.

Congratulations, honey. That's
unbelievable.

Thank you. Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Thanks. And you're still not smoking?

no. I haven't had a craving in days.

Man, it's so good not to have to depend
on something to make you feel better,

you know?

Man, I could use a drink.

Oh, hello.

Hey, how was your first day at your new
job? Good.

So?

What?

Did you talk to your boss or not?

What about?

Your promotion. Did you ask him why you
got the promotion?

Yes.

And?

Well, what do you think he said, Jimmy?
He said he gave it to me because of my

hard work and qualifications.

Oh.

Okay, well, then I owe you an apology.

No, that's not necessary.

Let's just forget about this whole
thing.

Christine's going to be mad at me.

Why? Well, after you and I were arguing
the other night, she started yelling at

me for trying to take credit for you
getting the promotion.

She told me to just, you know, say
congratulations.

She's like, what difference does it make
what he thinks? You know, the point is,

you got the promotion.

Well, Christine's right. You got a smart
woman there. She's a keeper.

I guess it just felt good being you for
a change.

What? You know, being the one who helps,
not the one who gets the help all the

time.

Now,

You've been so good to me and my family.

You know, you've given us money, given
us a place to live.

I get the thought of actually being able
to help you out for a change. It just

meant so much to me. I just kind of lost
my head.

I'm sorry.

Hey, listen.

We all make mistakes, I forgive you.

I talked to your boss.

Come again?

I talked to your boss, you evil little
weasel.

I know the entire reason you got the
promotion is because of my home run.

is wrong with you? You went to
Savitsky's office?

No, he came to my office.

Nobody leaves that lot without me
raising that little gate.

All right, all right, so now you know.

Why would you lie?

Because I didn't want to owe you
anything.

What? You owe me. I don't owe you.

I mean, that's the way this whole thing
works. You live in my house. You eat my

food. I don't want you to think with one
crack of the bat that the score is

even. Or God forbid, I owe you.

Greg, you're the only one keeping score.

I never once thought about how you'd owe
me for doing this. I was just happy to

be able to help you out. That's what
matters most.

You know?

Not to credit.

You're right.

I'm glad we had this little talk.

You're welcome!

So that's our snapshot of the quarterly
projections, and I hope you noticed the

costs were almost 6 % below last year.

So if you're still looking to give me a
nickname, you might want to call me the

Penny Squeezer.

Listen,

Mike's wife, Penny, was killed by a boa
constrictor.

Again, there's no way you could have
known.
