Minus 2 % in the city.

No, no, no.

Moo juice is on the house, my friend. Cheers.

Thank you.

Sorry, pal. Sorry.

Sorry.

Reese O'Malley.

You rousing our good customers again?

How you doing, Ethan?

Good.

Same old brew?

Same old.

Looks like you got a few gray hairs coming your way.

Distinguished. Looks like you have put on a few pounds there, to say the least.

More to love. More to love.

Oh,

sorry. Dishwasher's on the fridge.

It's no problem.

I'll get you another. It's not a problem.

Could put a little pink umbrella in it for you, too, bro.

I see you've still got Dad's old football trophies up there. Just the way

liked it. I haven't changed a thing.

It's obvious.

It's got that O'Malley spirit.

It's got that O'Malley mortgage.

A couple of rough months, you know, we'll turn it around. A couple?

Okay, a few.

A few?

Yeah.

I mean, we...

Don't exactly cater to the Armani clientele.

Who do you cater to?

Never mind.

How much?

What? Can't I invite my brother over for a drink?

How much?

Just $1 ,300 this time.

Just this time?

First the dishwasher went, then the plumbing went down. You know, that's $3

later.

Anyway, the college kids are coming back and...

A couple of weeks. You know, we'll make it right back. It won't work.

I ran the books through my firm.

You did what?

Revenues are down 63 .8 % in the last seven months, Ethan.

Listen, I managed the books just fine the way Ma did with a red pen and a

I have sunk 200 grand into this dive, Ethan.

It's a losing proposition. Look around you.

Dive? Yeah. Choice word.

Is that what you think of Ma's pride and joy?

Leave Mom out of this. Leave her out. You hear me?

You come in here with at least $2 ,500 worth of rags on your back. I burned it!

You know, at least I don't keep busy feeling sorry for myself while

I'm squandering away the family namesake.

Get out.

Well, that's it.

You hear me?

Last handout!

All right?

And Ethan, I'm selling this bar!

Rees, wait.

Sorry, man.

Rees. Rees.

Someone call 911.

You win some, you lose some.

Change. You could change the world.

Change.

Rearrange your world.

Change.

Take one, divide by two.

Change.

If it was only up to you to change.

Don't do this.

Come on.

Come on, brother.

Come on.

Come on.

Ethan, I'm right here.

Your world's apart.

Nice shot, Judge.

It's all in the wrist, Mr. Smith.

Hey, Judge is in a good mood. Take advantage of it. It's a good time to

your case.

Judge. Judge Othniel.

He's come to decide your eternal fate.

Are you saying... Yeah.

I'm sure there's been some mistake here. Oh, I assure you, Mr. O'Malley, those

kinds of mistakes he doesn't make.

But I just came here to do some business with my brother.

I mean, why would you judge me? What's wrong with that?

Nothing, nothing, as long as it comes from a good place.

But you see, Mr. O'Malley, you have been charged with a very common but

unfortunate emotion.

Sibling rivalry.

You're jealous of your brother.

Me?

Jealous of Ethan?

No, you're kidding, right? I mean, come on.

No. Just go with it.

Look, um... I've been a good brother.

I mean, I took out a second mortgage on my condo and asked him to try to save

the bar.

Did you figure in how much money I've loaned him over the years?

No, I don't think it was money that...

Ethan need it from you? No, no.

He's your little brother.

He's been needing you ever since he was born.

I die and he gets the sympathy.

Well, you may have passed on, Mr. O'Malley, but your jealous spirit is

well.

Okay, fine.

Odds are, in the course of my entire time on Earth, there may have been one

two moments where I may... have felt a little pang of jealousy.

But there was one particular period when that jealousy ran amok.

When you took advantage of being the elder brother.

Some might even say that you abused your power at a time when fraternal love

should have been at its height, not its depth.

On your mark.

Get set.

Let's hear it.

Damn it. Oh, God, that's a... You got nothing, O'Malley.

I pray we stand together for all time.

Don't wimp out now, bro. Come on.

Come on, faster.

Faster.

Show us what you're made of.

What was that about?

Gamma Omicron Delta, Mr. Smith. A fraternity prank gone terribly wrong.

I think it's called hazing.

I always wanted to be in a fraternity.

I think it was an accident, sir. That accident cost Ethan his dream

of playing pro ball.

Nobody forced him to do it. All right. Nobody.

It was his choice. It was your job to look after your younger brother.

Not only because you were the elder sibling, but because that, that was the

spirit of Gamma Omicron Delta.

I love my brother.

I would never do anything to hurt him intentionally.

Never.

Then I have made my decision.

Reese O'Malley.

You will go back and rediscover the true meaning of brotherly love.

What do I have to do?

Protect your brother?

Are we going back where I think we're going back? Because they don't drink

there, you know.

You will have three days, and three days only.

You will go back with all your memories intact.

No one will recognize you.

You are a free agent in the universe with the blessing of God Almighty and

course.

Wait,

wait, wait, wait.

I'm back again.

Right, right, right, right, right. Is that it?

He must be an exchange student.

What?

He has sense of funny humor, no?

Do we still have, how do you say, a party anyway?

Come on, come on, come on.

I don't get it. What's the point of bringing him back here now?

He's not present.

Not present now. He's back then, in past.

He must have

built some more property.

Hey, brother.

Can I help you?

Brother? Sorry, guys.

Only frat brothers and pledges allowed.

The open house party's next week. No, no, no, no.

I'm a gamma brother.

Brother, I'm... Chip.

Stein. National chapter.

Advisor.

Proud for the future.

Sorry, Mr. Stein, you can't be too careful.

Rhys O'Malley, Gamma Pledge Master.

Who's the newbie?

Call it me, Smith.

I am born an exchange student from Ukraine.

That so?

You a proud Gamma man, Smith?

Yeah, proud, proud, very proud.

Where's your Gamma Pledge bit?

Sorry, bud.

But rules are rules.

Drop it, give me ten.

Maybe I leave it in my other pencil case.

Oh, no, Chip, was that talking back?

That sounds like talking back to me. Yeah, fifteen.

Check it, check it, check it. This is America.

Twenty. Let's go.

Well, let's go.

Incoming!

Neil. Yeah, Heather and Zoe.

My big brother, Rico Mali.

The final activity.

It's a kill and attack test.

That's where Ethan got hurt the day after tomorrow.

So, if you can stop your brother from getting injured, would you excuse us,

please?

Okay, see you later.

You know pledges aren't allowed to mingle with the sorority. That's too

point. I think I'm in love with Ethan. Listen, you know what?

I didn't care to like you. I can get my own girls, thanks.

I never said you couldn't. Talking back to the pledge master equals demerit

number three.

You keep this up, and you won't even make it to the final activity.

Look, we agreed on no special treatment.

That doesn't mean you can treat me like trash.

Son of a gun.

I gotta sweep.

Listen.

Reese, about the final activity.

It's pretty dangerous, and the National Office has been getting pressure from

the higher -ups.

Anyone gets hurt, the entire chapter of our business.

Chip, my man, National's got nothing to worry about. It's a tradition. My dad

had to go through it. I went through it, and so will Ethan. Look, I appreciate

the concern, but I'm in control.

You know what, Reese?

I'm going to have to insist.

And I'm going to have to insist that you stay out of it.

remember being that stubborn.

It's almost like you were looking for a way to make harm to your brother.

No. I never wanted him to get hurt. It just happened. I didn't do anything.

Stop.

I wasn't gunning for him.

No way. Not my own brother.

Uh -uh. Not a chance in hell.

Well, I am hoping you are right about these things because this week is hell

week, no? And you will be betting your life on these things.

Resumes? What?

Proud, Gamma Fletch?

Yeah. Yeah, proud, proud, very proud. Yeah, well, scrape your butt off the

and let's move it. You too, O'Malley.

What time is it?

It's time to brush.

This is not fun.

Not fun?

Of course it is.

Don't you have the prank, friendship, family?

And you think we'll get in?

I think it's you better than me.

I don't know.

I kind of feel like I'm on the outside looking in, you know?

Like a fish out of water.

I know how you mean.

Build your character.

I don't know. It's just... My brother's really been on the case these days.

You sound like you accepted defeat already.

Oh, never.

It's the Curthy O'Malley namesake.

I mean, just look at Reese.

Stubborn to the death.

And beyond it.

No, uh, my dad was a gambit back in the 60s.

Reese told me, for the final activity back then, the pledges had to climb onto

this lookout ledge.

It's like ten stories up.

So then it got totally wasted, and then they had to speed walk around this five

-inch -wide railing while singing the gamut pride song.

You crazy or something?

Well, it was tradition.

And, uh, my brother said that my dad didn't know prom, but... This one guy,

she died.

She fell the whole way down.

National office banned the activity after that.

Where is your father now?

No one really knows.

I hardly remember the man, but we've had some stories.

And your mother?

She's around.

So what are the frass like where you come from?

We drink it lots of milk.

Ten yards.

Twenty.

Atta boy.

Bring it home, Ethan O'Malley. Bring it home.

Yes!

Oh, Reese, you missed it.

The beauty of a touchdown that brought your brother that scholarship.

Here, let me rewind it.

We've been rewinding that touchdown for the last nine months, Ma.

Well, what am I supposed to watch?

Camille? Or maybe Love Story?

Come here and give me a smooch on the cheek.

That was my handsome boy.

He would warm his mouth hard if he'd just find himself a girlfriend in a

pair of shoes.

Wow. Did he keep him busy?

He used that computer science exam.

Well, of course he did.

But is Ethan holding his own?

He's fine.

Is he getting in?

Well, he usually gets what he wants, doesn't he?

Well, he had his pick of any fraternity on campus.

You've got to let them know that they're lucky to have him.

I know.

Well, that's good.

And you're helping.

That's a good...

You're

running low.

I'm running on empty.

Who'd ever thought that a person could get so dog -tired lying around doing

nothing?

That one's me favorite.

I'm thinking of coming back with Mae West.

Don't tell your brother, but I want to show up at his first big homecoming game

and have it be a surprise.

What do you think?

Is the boa too much?

Hmm?

He'll be perfect.

Ethan will love it.

Listen, I just stopped by. Oh, yeah, you go on home.

I am home.

Wise guy.

I'm talking about the frat house.

Of course, this will always be your home.

No mally blood is thicker than cod liver oil.

You tell Ethan that I'm rooting for him.

If I put in a word with the big man up there.

I will.

You tell him if he can find a time to visit.

He would. He's just busy.

You know.

I know.

I know.

First off, I think we all agree for the most part we've got ourselves a top

-notch pledge class this year. You're here.

Of our ten pledges, pretty much all are with the program.

There is just one.

I'm a little concerned about Ethan.

What are you talking about?

I just don't know if he's gamma material.

Well, Reese, he is your brother.

You don't know him as well as I do.

Sure, he's been in the rules a little, you know, he's sort of doing his own

thing, but he can build it down with the best of them. Besides, Reese, he's a

legacy. Between you and your dad, Ethan was in before he was in. O'Malley makes

it on his own merit.

This is the only time in life you'll get to choose your family, so choose

carefully. A tequila track test will be the deciding factor, but I am not afraid

to say nay to my brother.

Neither should any of you.

How are you planning on getting him out of the pledging?

How about the truth?

That is very brave, comrade.

But telling people things before they happen will never work. I know these

things.

I know these things. Well, that's not the truth I was talking about. I was

thinking... Well, just the man we were looking for.

You are a man, aren't you? Maybe we should check to find out, aren't you,

Neat. You didn't finish dish duty.

But... No, no, no.

Chumlee already covered up for you, but you're going to have to make up for it.

All right.

Come on. Let's go.

Atta boy.

Atta boy. Turn around.

Here you go.

Good man. Arms up there. Come on. 50. Let's go.

Make it good.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, keep an eye on him for us, will you, Chip?

No problem.

50 a day.

Gotta keep the passing arm strong.

That's right. You're on a full football scholarship.

Got all the scouts coming out next week.

And the word is that you've got the chops to make it all the way to the

Bowl.

Gonna be a real legend in your own time.

So do you really think that Gamma Omicron Delta is worth the risk?

I can take it.

You know, I'm as proud a gamma man as the next guy.

Then you understand.

Why don't you just let him have it?

What?

Who?

Your brother. I mean, this fraternity, it's all he has. I mean, it's his.

And you, you, you can pledge anywhere.

You're a football star.

I mean, the chicks, they love you, and... Isn't it enough?

Look, you don't understand.

No, no.

No.

You don't understand.

Your brother, he never had anything to call his own.

I mean, he shared everything with you.

Even his room.

I didn't share.

He tolerated.

Barely.

Look, Gamma Omicron Delta has always been a dream of my mother's. It's a

tradition. I mean, my old man was the Gamma.

My brother.

I mean, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make it happen for her.

Obviously, he doesn't want me here. He let you know that, but she does.

Just leave Mom out of it. Not for once.

In your life.

I want you to own her!

to what is really going on. You want to show up your brother. You want to be

better than him at everything.

And you want the whole world to know it. Isn't that right? Is that the real

truth of it? Answer me! Isn't that the real truth of it? And you tell me what

is! I just want him to love me!

I mean, maybe if I pass this test,

he'll finally accept me.

What makes you think that he doesn't accept you?

Do you have any brothers?

Yeah.

One.

Then you know what I'm talking about.

Okay, brothers.

This is where we separate the man from the boy.

The tequila track test.

Time to show up last year's pledges.

Chumlee, you're up.

Are you a proud Gamma Man, Pledge Chumlee?

Yes, sir!

Well, okay, then.

On your mark.

Get set.

Let's hear it!

Eeyore Smith.

Drinking not make it man.

It make it fool.

Well, fool is ready to go.

Let's go, Gamma, go.

Yeah! All right.

That's a fool, I think.

Yeah, I wish.

All right, let's go. Let's go eat that.

I'll begin.

It's a Saturday, Reece.

Word is your brother's starting quarterback.

He appears to be doing it.

Well, lighten up, TJ. This is his toy.

From the Pledgemaster.

Not his keeper.

But you're his brother.

Got it in you, brother?

Hmm. Well, let's see what you got.

Got it.

On your mark.

Get set.

Let's hear it!

You got nothing on the alley.

I pray.

Dance together for all time.

Don't wimp out now, girl. Come on.

Come on, faster.

Faster.

Tell us what you're made of.

What do you think you're doing?

He looked like he was in trouble.

I was just trying to help. Look, I don't need any help, all right?

What is this?

Is this some kind of tandem effort to get me kicked out of the frat?

You think I had something to do with this?

Someone did.

I don't have to set anything up to keep you out of here, Ethan.

You're taking care of that all by yourself.

You know, it's never going to be good enough for you. Hey!

You've got to work hard to be a gamble.

Yeah, and I don't know what hard work's about.

Is that it?

You were too busy playing pick -up with your buddy.

Well, I helped Mom work on the books.

You know, helping to pay the rent so her little pride and joy could just run

wild.

You don't even take the time to visit her.

You're not my dad.

Well, someone's got to take care of you, because you can't face facts.

She's dying, Ethan.

No.

I told you to leave it alone.

At least his knee would not

destroy it.

But our family has.

I don't know if I can salvage it.

You all right?

Yeah.

Stopped the accident.

So what happens now? Does the judge wave a magic gavel and I get a second

chance?

It's a little more complicated than that.

You were supposed to discover why you hurt your brother in the first place.

You need to face the truth about yourself.

I've faced it.

It's ugly.

I smell Vaughn.

What are you so afraid of?

That Othniel might be right?

You and Ethan, you're always talking at each other, but never to each other.

Why?

You sound like her.

Who?

My mother.

O'Malley blood is thicker than cord liver oil.

You take care of your brother.

You watch out for your brother.

Have you seen Ethan's newest little egg trophy yet?

So you blame her. He was the light of her life.

Yet he couldn't manage to give her the time of day.

And no matter what I did, no matter what I accomplished...

Well, he always seemed to shine just a little brighter.

She never really seemed to care about me.

And I hated him for that.

And after he was injured, I depended on him, my brother,

being a screw -up so that I could feel good about myself.

So maybe the judge was right.

Maybe I did hurt him on purpose.

It's not too late.

There's still a day left.

I don't know where to begin.

Go to the source.

Kron Delta.

You must know my boys, then. The O'Malley brothers, Reese and Ethan. Yes,

I'm Chip Stein.

The National Chapter Advisor.

My boys, they're okay?

No, they're fine.

I just... As National Chapter Advisor, it is my

responsibility to... make sure there is harmony in the frat houses.

Ah, what did Ethan do?

Oh, no, it was nothing that Ethan did or did not do. By the wild one, the

stubborn mule.

But I asked Reece to keep an eye out. He's supposed to be taking care of him.

is taking care of him.

I mean, he's trying his best.

Who's supposed to be taking care of Reese?

What?

Reese doesn't need taking care of.

He's perfectly capable of taking care of himself.

Always has, always will.

Well, no one's that capable.

No matter how much they try to act it.

No. My son is as strong as an ox.

He's making straight A's.

First in his class, always.

And when his father left, who picked up the pieces?

Reese. When I was diagnosed, who picked up the pieces?

Reese.

And when I needed a homecoming wig, who picked it out?

Reese.

No, I couldn't have made it without him.

Neither could Ethan.

I never know.

Well, how could you? I only just met you.

Look at you, all puckered up and about to spill over.

Speak your mind, man.

I don't understand you.

Did Rhys say anything to you?

Because if he didn't know, I would feel awful.

Thank you.

Mr. Stein, I love both my sons

equally.

Maybe too much.

Maybe that's why I find it so hard to let go.

You are the best mom a man could ever have.

You spoke to my mother?

What is it with you? Listen to me. The only reason she's on you about taking

care of Ethan is because Ethan needs to be taken care of. He can't make it

without your help.

You want him out of the fraternity. That's your choice, but at least have

guts to admit it.

Don't you know how sick she is?

She is dying.

Cancer has spread all over her body.

They can't do any more for her.

All the more reason to make peace with your family now.

So you don't spend the rest of your life resenting them both.

Listen to me.

Your mother loves you, Reese.

No more and no less than she loves your brother.

You've known me for what?

Less than three days?

What makes you think you know my life?

Reese!

C .J.'s called the final vote. He wants to know where you stand.

Okay, are you going to vote for Ethan or are you voting for Smeet?

But I can't.

Not yet.

It's all right.

Don't be afraid.

Have I done this?

Have I driven them apart?

No, Edie.

You're the soul that's going to bring them.

Brother, final vote's are in.

Vote one,

Pledge Bernard.

Oh, Shumlee, come on, this is a private meeting.

But Ethan's on the top of Lookout Ledge. What?

He's trying to walk the wall. I think he's drunk.

Wraith, hail Gala, Gala, Gala.

To thee we praise to stand together and...

Oh, forgetting the words to the song.

What's that?

Toon Maripoi? Ethan, that doesn't matter anymore.

You just come on down, please.

Why don't you want me in your fraternity, Wraith?

You come down, and we'll talk about it. I want to know now!

I want to know now!

You better try and get through to yourself now before nothing else

Tell him the truth.

Everyone loves you, Ethan.

They only care.

Yeah.

Everybody but you.

I just tried to escape your shadow so I could find someplace that

belonged to me.

Your shadow.

All I ever wanted was for you to accept me.

It was a unanimous vote, Ethan.

You're in.

You're a gamma.

Tried and true.

You serious?

You voted for me?

Yeah, I did.

Why?

Because of mom? No, because of you.

I love you.

So, so get your butt back down here.

We got a whole initiation process to go through.

And you got a football game to play on Saturday.

And I'm going to sober you up, and you are never going to drink again.

Okay.

It's time, Ruth.

It's Edie.

Ma?

Ruth?

Where is Ethan?

Right here, Ma.

How do you like my homecoming do?

Reese, help me pick.

I like it a lot, Ma.

Do you think the big man will approve?

Well, he's not going to have to approve anything yet, Ma.

Because, um...

Big games on Saturday.

O'Malley spirit, stubborn till the end.

My boys, you take care of each other.

Remember, O'Malley blood is thicker than cod

liver oil.

I want you boys to know you made my life worth

living.

No.

Just don't leave me, Mom.

Don't leave me alone.

You're not alone.

You have me.

Priest, come on.

It's just a bullseye already.

Ethan.

Yeah.

Hey, Ethan, telephone.

I'll get it.

O'Malley Brothers.

Keeping it all in the family, huh?

This is ours?

Makes sense.

Brain plus brawn.

Mom would be proud.

I never had a chance to say goodbye the first time.

Thank you, brother.

It was my honor.

Stand together for all time.

Oh.

Yeah.

Reach, come on.

I'll be there in just a sec.

finishing up.

So, I'll be on my way.

You won't remember me by the last three days, but your memories of your family,

they'll last forever.

Reese!

Don't you feel like Ma's still here watching over her?

Yeah.

Sometimes I can see her.

You know.

I never thought I'd be living to see this day.

Oh, maybe I'm not.

Thank you for helping my boys.

You played my song.

You ever dance the song of the Irish?

Never in the daytime.

You could change a world.

Change.

Rearrange your world.

Change.

Take one, divide by two.

Change. If it was only up to you to change.

To a world of wonder from a world of pain.
