All language subtitles for Benson s04e04 Thy Brothers Keeper

Benson, I am fully aware that you don't
like me.

Then I won't have to send you a memo.

Benson, the data processing people
delivered all this stuff for you.

Ah, yeah, these are the third quarter
ledgers. I've been looking for them.

Well, get some off my kitchen table.

I will, Krauss. I'll send somebody to
pick them up.

Benson, will you listen to me? I spent
six weeks working on that sales tax

proposal. Clayton, you wrote a variation
on the bill that's been turned down a

dozen times.

Oh, and I suppose you think your
variation is so much better.

I'm only looking to get the bill passed.
It doesn't matter to me who writes it.

Well, it matters to me.

Benson, I just hate this kind of thing.

I'm not having any fun either.

Benson, don't you understand? I put my
guts into that proposal.

Perhaps if you'd put some thought into
it.

Fine. From now on, you're on my list.

On set goes double for me.

This is new.

Tag team hassling.

I just got a call from Senator Chaplin.
The committee must have that state tax

proposal by Friday.

Which means you've got to get that
rewrite to me no later than Wednesday.

no problem, sir.

Uh, sir, if you want my opinion, you
already have a perfectly good tax

Clayton, we discussed this meeting. I
think you did an excellent job. It's

that I like Benson's approach better,
that's all.

You like Benson better, that's all.

I suppose we should be more sensitive to
Clayton's needs.

What about me?

We all have needs.

Yes, but yours require human blood.

Vincent, you're not in your office.

That's what I've been trying to tell
him. What do you want, Denise?

You.

Here I am. What do you want? It's your
brother.

No, it's me.

I mean, he's calling from the airport.

Which one?

There's only one airport.

Which brother, Denise?

He said his name is Russell.

I'll be in my office.

It's important that one of us knows
where one of us is at all times.

Call me Dizzy.

Hello, Russell.

Wait, wait, wait. Slow down.

I know you're here.

Why are you here?

Oh, really? For how long?

That's great.

So where are you going to stay?

No, no problem at all. I got an extra
room.

So what are you going to do? Rent a car?

No, no, no problem at all. Yeah, yeah,
I'll be there in about 20 minutes.

Listen, why don't you meet me at the
curb, and that way I don't have to park.

No, no, no problem at all. I guess I can
find a hospitality suite.

I'll see you there. Okay, bye -bye.

So, you're taking science of the day
off? Yeah, my brother's in town.

Oh, you're bringing him by here?

Yeah, I probably will. Good. He can help
you get that rubbish out of the

kitchen.

Rubbish is already left.

I hear you.

You're kidding.

That's all you pay for this place?

That won't buy you this much in Phoenix.

Luckily,

I wasn't looking in Phoenix.

Why don't you put the bags down right
there? Yeah.

What have you got in these bags,
Arizona?

Loretta always packs like she's trying
to get rid of me.

Yeah, well, maybe you ought to take the
hint.

I want to have a beer. You want one? No.

Did you leave anything at home? Just
Loretta.

Then you brought her along.

Could she just be bored, me and my
seminar all day, hanging out with you

night? Yeah, yeah, well, I wish I'd have
known you were coming.

I could have baked something.

It's not going to be a hassle for you,
is it? Oh, no, no. It's no problem at

all. It's just that I was supposed to
take Jennifer out to dinner tonight.

Actually, in 41 minutes.

Well, why not have your little brother
tag along?

I'll buy.

I'll tell you what. I'll give you a
quarter. You go to the movies.

I remember when you used to do that to
me.

I remember when you tried to get me up
to 50 cents.

Yeah.

That's right. You were dating that girl
in the choir. What's her name? The ugly

one. I've never dated any ugly girl.

Oh, yes, you did.

She was ugly. I remember, man. She had
those little thick glasses.

Why are you talking about Ruth?

Oh.

You take them glasses off Ruth, as I did
on many occasions.

Oh, she was something else.

Yeah.

Ugly and nearsighted.

Have it your way.

Well, I'm going to call Jennifer and
cancel. I'll explain about you arriving

unexpectedly. Hey, I'll check into a
hotel.

Don't be silly.

Jennifer will understand.

This seminar you're going to, is it just
for dentists? Yeah.

What is it, new equipment, procedures
and stuff like that?

No, it's investing for dentists.

Investing for dentists?

I got a couple grand I want to put in
the commodities market. Sugar futures.

No matter what happens, then I cash in.

Well. Be sure and brush after every
deal.

Hello, babe.

Yeah.

Listen, my brother Russell came into
town.

Yeah, Russell.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, so I was wondering if we could
sort of just, you know, cancel the

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Mm -hmm.

Well, you know, I didn't know he was
coming in. I just... Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Mm -hmm.

Well, gee, sweetheart, I was hoping
you'd be a little bit more

Uh -huh.

All right, yeah.

Well, I'll talk to you in a couple of
days.

Bye -bye.

She didn't mind.

Okay, where to?

Listen, well, why don't I fix something
here?

And that way we can catch up on
everything.

Hey, man, I'm on vacation. I don't want
to eat at home.

Where were you going to take Jennifer
for dinner? I was going to take Jennifer

down to a little place called Romeo's.

Works for me, just as long as you buy.

Where can I go freshen up? Upstairs.

Oh,

Russell, it's so good to have you back.

You want to get back?

All

right,

but listen. Last night, did you watch
Moby Dick on TV?

No, was he sitting in for Johnny Carson?

Boy, what a movie, huh?

Oh, that Gregory Peck, he is so nice.

Made me hungry for seafood.

Do you want to have some lunch?

Uh, sir, I'm running behind here. I'll
take a rain check.

Okay. You know, Benson, there's one
thing about that story that I never

understood. What is the significance of
Ahab's wooden leg?

Well, without it, he would have fallen
down a lot.

Ensign,

well, I thought I'd just drop by and see
how the hatchet job is going on my tax

proposal.

Clayton, I'm just getting started.

Oh. Yeah, I'm working on the outline
here.

Oh. But you'll have it ready by
Wednesday morning.

More like Wednesday evening, sir. Oh.

Well, that's cutting it a little tight,
but I guess I can manage.

Sir, the reason he can't get started is
because there's very little that needs

to be changed in my tax proposal.

I think you would have seen that if
you'd read it more carefully.

Clayton, I was trying to spare your
feelings, but since you've made an issue

it, I'll come straight out. Your concept
stinks.

See?

But tomorrow evening at the latest.

Oh, you'll have it.

Oh, come on, Clayton. Don't take it so
hard. None of us is perfect.

Let's go have some lunch.

Come on.

Quite frankly, sir, right now, the
concept of eating stinks.

He's such a baby sometimes.

Hey, Benson, look who's here.

Oh, look, it's Katie.

Yeah, this is one prime piece of real
estate you got here.

Dr. Dubois says our house would be worth
a million five in Phoenix.

Governor, I'd like you to meet my
brother, Dr. Russell Dubois.

Ah, how are you, Russell? You must be
the dentist's brother.

orthodontist, who specializes in capital
gains.

Fenton, your brother was telling me I
should put my allowance into Thalbelly.

Well, in your case, I think he means a
piggy bank.

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

Pleasure meeting you, Governor. Oh, I'll
see you again before you leave.

Katie, will you have lunch with me?

Sure, Dad, but let me buy so I can write
it off.

Well, what's up, Russell? I thought that
I was going to see you tonight.

Well, I was a little bored with those
guys at the seminar. I thought you and I

could go out for lunch. Well, I was
planning to eat a sandwich here in the

office. Ah, come on. Do you good to get
out just for an hour, huh?

Well, uh... How often do I come into
town?

Okay, but let's make it quick.

Okay.

Tell you what, though.

You drive. Your car rides like a tank.

Is there anything wrong with my car?

No, no, no. I mean, I'm just used to my
Mercedes.

Should have rented a car.

You still up, man?

It's midnight.

Yeah, I'm trying to make up for lost
time.

Yeah, I can't sleep either. I think it's
different time zones.

Yeah, mm -hmm.

You got boring TV here, you know that?

Yeah, yeah.

Russell, I don't need a play -by -play.

Greta never keeps ice cream in the
house. Probably just as well I'd put on

pounds.

Russell, I got a lot of work to do.

I'm tired.

It's already late, so... Why don't you
just have a taste of ice cream?

Russell, uh...

What

is it?

sensitive parts of the mouth.

Russell, leave me alone. Go to bed.

I don't want to go to bed. I'm a grown
-up. I don't have to go to bed if I

want to.

All right, I can finish this in the
morning. What do you want to talk about?

Who said I wanted to talk about
anything?

If you don't want to talk about
anything, I'm going back to work. You

a thing for work. You know that? Is that
what you want to talk about? No, that's

not what I want to talk about.

Even when we were kids, you were always
rushing off to work somewhere.

For good reason. Jason Russell, I was
supporting the family. In case you've

forgotten, I was the one who put you
through dental school.

No, I haven't forgotten.

I've heard that tune so many times, it
should be on a hit parade.

How much did it cost you? How much did
what cost me? Dental school. How much

it cost you? $10 ,000? $12 ,000? You
just tell me.

I don't know. I never added it up. Man,
that's not the point.

Well, let's just be generous and call it
$15 ,000, okay?

Call it what you like. The money is not
important, Russell. You bet it's not.

From now on, it's not even going to be
an issue.

Here. What is this? That's my check for
$15 ,000. We're even. I don't want your

check. Of course you don't. You'd rather
for me to keep the $15 ,000 so you can

go on reminding me how much of a
sacrifice you made for me.

That's it.

You come to town unannounced, screw up
my entire weekend to accommodate your

every whim, live in my house, borrow my
car, and then talk about it, and I'm

supposed to sit here and take this.
Well, I hope you can spend three days in

motel because that's where you're going.
You're out of here.

You wait a minute. No, no minute.

Pretend you're not here.

Denise, don't go berserk on me.

All I said was Morgan Fairchild is sexy.

And I'm not.

In your own way.

Is it because she's blonde? I could be
blonde.

Her hair has nothing to do with it. It's
her personality.

Men.

Women. Men.

Women.

What are you talking about?

Morgan Fairchild. What are you talking
about? Arnold. He broke our luncheon

date.

Well, Gretchen, I'm not busy. Why don't
you and I have lunch?

Well, why not?

Who needs them?

What about me?

Go have lunch with Miss Personality.

Hey, Pete, Pete, Pete.

Pick on furniture your own size.

Oh, what do women want anyway, Benson?

Not today, Pete. I was up all night
finishing the proposal.

First you're supposed to open doors for
them, then you're not allowed to open

doors for them.

They constantly worry about their age,
but if you call one of them a girl, they

slap you silly.

You want to know what I think?

Not really.

I think it's the moon.

The what? From the first day we landed
men on the moon, women have been ticked

off.

Hello there, Peter.

What's with him?

His love life was ruined by the space
program.

So, Benson, finished that proposal, eh?

Yeah, I was up half the... the night.

Happy with the result?

I'm happy I finished it.

So, uh, finishing it was your main
objective, eh?

Well, my main objective was a workable
proposal.

Uh -huh.

You, uh, think you achieved that?

Clayton, do you have something specific
you want to say about my tax proposal?

No. But the governor does, and he's
waiting for us.

I've never seen you so happy before.
You've never been in such trouble

I can't wait to see you.

It's not well thought out. Absolutely.

It's poorly written.

Precisely. And worst of all, it
compounds the errors of Clayton's

draft.

Sir, that I can't agree with.

Clayton, I'd like to talk to Benson
alone.

Well, I do feel I have something to
contribute to this conversation. I

Could I just listen?

No, leave it alone.

Sir, I was the one who went to the
kitchen to get him. Goodbye, Clayton.

Sir.

Benson.

Benson, this just isn't like you.

Well, I have no excuse, sir. I got
myself into a time problem, and I had to

rush. I apologize.

Is it something I can help you with?

No, sir, it's a personal problem.

Well, this puts me way behind on the tax
proposal. What am I going to do?

I can take another shot at it. Have you
cleared up your personal problem?

Frankly, no.

But you will before you attempt to
rewrite.

Definitely.

Okay, then I'll call up Senator Chapman
and say that we have to have an

extension.

No, Clayton.

I'll get this rewritten as soon as
possible. I'm sorry about the delay.

Oh, I understand, Gunson. We all have
personal problems. What is it, Jennifer?

You know, sometimes the deeper you get
into a relationship, the more problems

you discover.

My brother's a problem.

Oh, your brother and Jennifer, oh.

And so Jennifer's not involved.

Well, your brother certainly is. He's
married.

My brother and Jennifer don't have
anything to do with each other.

Oh, I get it. You mean he doesn't
approve of Jennifer.

Sir, they've never even met.

I think your brother has a nerve to take
that attitude.

Maybe I'd be better off if I just
discussed this with Ruffalo.

That's right. Have a good talk. Don't
let these things fester.

Right. Thank you.

Oh, and one other thing, Bronson. What's
that?

I wouldn't mention any of this to
Jennifer.

Dream of it.

He checked out?

When?

I wonder why he didn't tell me.

What? Oh, no, you don't have to answer
that.

Yeah, yeah, you sleep tight, too.

You checked out of your hotel.

I know that.

I have been trying to reach you.

What did you want? Why are you here? I
asked you first.

Come on in, Russell. I don't have time.

You have time to come through the door.

Why are you in such a hurry?

I have a 10 o 'clock flight to Phoenix.

Why are you going to Phoenix? I live in
Phoenix, Benton.

I know that, Russell.

I thought you were going to spend the
weekend here.

I thought you were going to have time
for me, too.

Let's not start that again, okay?

I forgot to give you this. It's a gift
from Lisa and Daniels with Uncle Benson.

They made some moccasins and a wallet
for you at summer camp.

Some moccasins? How did they get my
size?

They didn't. It's a big chief size.

Same as Loretta's.

Hey, those are cute.

Very nice.

This must be the wallet.

No, actually, it's a wampum pouch.
There's a little space in there for your

credit cards.

Oh, that's very nice.

Thank them for me, they're beautiful
kids.

You're a lucky guy, Russell.

Yeah, I got a terrific family.

Does that include me?

Of course it does.

You want a beer?

Yeah.

Look, man, I'm sorry about the other
night.

I came at a bad time, you were busy.

I should have learned how to deal with
that by now.

Russell?

Did you really think when we were kids
that I enjoyed spending my time working?

I think what you enjoyed was how
everybody looked up to you.

There goes the Dubois kid, working real
hard, keeping the whole family together.

Russell, what people said wasn't
important to me. What was important to

that we stayed together as a family.

Well, why don't you let me off the hook?
I don't know what you're talking about.

You resent me because I had it so easy,
and you had to pay for everything.

I don't resent you.

There's one thing about you that's
always bothered me.

No, no, no. I was happy to work to put
you kids through school.

But what galled me was the way you
always took it as your natural born

I did no such thing. You did.

I did not.

Well, you never thanked me. I thought
you knew how I felt.

Why didn't you say it? Well, man...
Because

I'm in awe of you.

Me?

Look at you. You're a successful
dentist. You got a beautiful wife,

home, beautiful kids.

You got a Mercedes.

In fact, you got number one written all
over you. That's why mom always treated

you so special.

Treated me special?

All I ever heard was Benson this and
Benson that.

Let her tell it. You're the ninth wonder
of the world.

Well, all I ever heard was, Russell's
doing great in school. Russell graduated

at the top of his class.

Russell's the biggest dentist in
Phoenix.

Mama said that about me?

Yeah.

Did she really say I was the ninth
wonder of the world?

No, actually, she said you were the
first. I knocked you down eight places.

Well,

Russell, it was worth it.

Just to see how you turned out, man.

Thanks.

Thanks for making everything possible.

You left something over here the other
night.

Yeah, I got out here in a hurry, didn't
I? Yeah, you sure did.

There.

You sure you don't want to keep it?

No, I... You put it in the kid's college
fund.

No, I can't do that.

Why not?

It's no good.

You don't think I'd keep this kind of
money in a checking account.

No, I'd invest it. Let it work for me.

So, you finally learned what to do with
money.

What do you mean, finally learned what
to do with money? I've always known what

to do with money.

Since when?

When I was 11 years old, I saved up all
those quarters you gave me until I got

enough to buy a bicycle. 35 bucks.

Who'd you buy the bike from?

You.

You cheated me. That bike wasn't worth
35 bucks. This check ain't worth a dime,

so we're even.

I better call the airport and cancel my
reservation. Why?

I'm staying the weekend. I haven't asked
you to stay, Russell. Oh, you want me

to stay. The hell I do. Get away from
that phone.

I'll give you a quarter. No, two
dollars.

Oh, Denise.

The committee approved the tax proposal,
so we're going to need some copies for

the printing office.

This won't take long, Benson. What do
you think? Is it the right length? The

bottom's fine, but I can still see her
face at the top. Oh, no!

What an insult, Benson. I have had it up
to here.

I'm glad I didn't see it up to there.

That's it.

I hope it's the right length.

It's good enough for Krause. Oh, shut
up, Benson.

I'm sure it's fine, Denise.

I'll go in my room or change.

She keeps saying that, but she always
comes back the same.

He knows that.
