to me and Paul. Hey.
181
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:05,683
So, why does your Dad need
that stupid lawnmower anyway?
182
00:08:05,685 --> 00:08:07,785
Of course, Paul wantedto smooth things over, too.
183
00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:09,520
What the hell's
that supposed to mean?
184
00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:11,922
Oh, come on. It's bigger
than your whole yard!
185
00:08:11,924 --> 00:08:14,192
No, it's not bigger
than our whole yard.
186
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:16,761
So we discussed it in a calmand mature fashion.
187
00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:18,996
Well, it's bigger
than half your yard.
188
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:22,333
What is this, a math thing?
189
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:25,002
No, but... well, how are you
gonna turn it around?
190
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:26,570
In your neighbor's yard?
191
00:08:26,572 --> 00:08:29,307
Admittedly,this was getting off track.
192
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:30,441
What I really meant to say
193
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,376
in a sensitiveand caring manner was...
194
00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:33,745
I mean, what's next?
195
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:36,547
You gonna join
some pansy country club?
196
00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:39,684
Well, actually...
We already did.
197
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:41,986
Oh. This is brilliant.
198
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:44,021
First you go ahead
and buy this huge lawnmower,
199
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:46,123
and then you're gonna join
a stupid country club?
200
00:08:46,125 --> 00:08:48,526
Hey, you're the one
who's being stupid!
201
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,261
Yep, we were really workingthis thing out here.
202
00:08:51,263 --> 00:08:53,931
I don't have time for this.
I got things to do.
203
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:55,333
Yeah, fine. So do I!
204
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:57,502
And with the fencesfirmly mended
205
00:08:57,504 --> 00:08:59,837
between the Arnoldsand the Pfeiffers,
206
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:04,341
we went home with ourfriendship as solid as ever.
207
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,754
Over the next few days,
208
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:19,590
as the Pfeiffers continuedto parade their good fortune,
209
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:23,027
the Arnold community spiritbegan to run a little thin.
210
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:30,001
Now he's putting in a pool.
Can you believe that guy?
211
00:09:30,003 --> 00:09:32,803
Why can't we have a pool?
212
00:09:32,805 --> 00:09:36,007
You want a pool? Start digging.
213
00:09:36,009 --> 00:09:39,176
Goodwill was turningto bad blood.
214
00:09:39,178 --> 00:09:40,745
And as we closed ranksaround Dad,
215
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:43,113
the gap between himand Paul's Dad got...
216
00:09:43,115 --> 00:09:48,219
Wider.
217
00:09:48,221 --> 00:09:51,922
With me in the middle.
218
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:53,991
Okay, Kevirooski.
219
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:55,426
Follow the light
with those peepers
220
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:56,727
and don't move your head.
221
00:09:56,729 --> 00:09:59,197
Yes, sir.
222
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:02,232
The thing is, even thoughI'd known the guy for years,
223
00:10:02,234 --> 00:10:05,736
suddenly I was seeing himin a whole new light.
224
00:10:07,741 --> 00:10:09,140
Gotcha!
225
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:10,975
A little optometrist humor.
226
00:10:10,977 --> 00:10:12,143
Pretty funny.
227
00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:14,312
- Are we done now?
- Not yet.
228
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:17,181
Read that for me.
229
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:23,854
"E," "f," "p," "t," "c," "z."
230
00:10:23,856 --> 00:10:26,356
Look at him... Mr. moneybags.
231
00:10:26,358 --> 00:10:28,826
John D. Rockapfeiffer.
232
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,561
Not a care in the world.
233
00:10:30,563 --> 00:10:32,330
You know, Kev, I'm worried.
234
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:35,066
Huh? About my eyes?
235
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:38,402
Unhunh. About your Dad.
236
00:10:38,404 --> 00:10:39,670
What about him?
237
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,539
Well, I'm not sure.
238
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:44,442
He didn't look happy
the other day.
239
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:45,743
Is he okay?
240
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:47,445
Well, yeah, he's...
241
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:48,879
Oh, no.
242
00:10:48,881 --> 00:10:50,647
I wasn't gonna give himthat satisfaction.
243
00:10:50,649 --> 00:10:53,084
He works hard, that's all.
244
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:55,920
Unlike some rich guysI could think of.
245
00:10:55,922 --> 00:10:59,457
That's Jack, all right.
He's a hell of a guy.
246
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:03,327
Careful man.
Take that investment thing.
247
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:05,629
Great. I should have known.
248
00:11:05,631 --> 00:11:08,700
This whole thing was justanother excuse to crow about...
249
00:11:08,702 --> 00:11:10,968
he could have come in with me,
you know.
250
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:13,070
What?
251
00:11:13,072 --> 00:11:14,504
We talked about it.
252
00:11:14,506 --> 00:11:15,772
You did?
253
00:11:15,774 --> 00:11:17,241
But he wasn't interested.
254
00:11:17,243 --> 00:11:19,043
Too big a risk, I guess.
255
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,677
I couldn't believe my ears.
256
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,346
I don't know.
257
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:23,648
Maybe he was right.
258
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:26,751
These land things
tend to be complicated.
259
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:29,754
Unpredictable, risky.
Know what I mean?
260
00:11:29,756 --> 00:11:31,588
But at that moment,
261
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:35,158
I wasn't interested in thegreater aspects of real estate.
262
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,094
I was thinking just one thing.
263
00:11:37,096 --> 00:11:39,330
I can't believe it.
264
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:42,767
My Dad, who grumbled aboutthe Pfeiffers' good fortune,
265
00:11:42,769 --> 00:11:44,502
could have had one himself.
266
00:11:44,504 --> 00:11:46,304
Okay, sport.
267
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:48,639
Let's test
your depth perception.
268
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:50,607
And suddenly,this whole situation
269
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:52,376
was starting to get kind of...
270
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:54,378
Fuzzy.
271
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:55,546
Damn.
272
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,281
That's great, Dad.
273
00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:59,684
Now it matches the one
in the living room.
274
00:11:59,686 --> 00:12:01,686
I don't understand this.
275
00:12:01,688 --> 00:12:04,589
But Dad wasn't the only onefeeling confused.
276
00:12:04,591 --> 00:12:07,591
So, how was your eye
appointment today, honey?
277
00:12:07,593 --> 00:12:11,261
Fine, except Mr. Pfeiffer
said that...
278
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:12,897
oh, that reminds me.
279
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:13,964
Jack, Ida called today.
280
00:12:13,966 --> 00:12:16,534
She invited us all
to the country club on Saturday.
281
00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:19,203
Forget it. We're not going.
282
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:20,304
Why not?
283
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:23,541
Because.
We got other things to do.
284
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:25,376
What other things?
285
00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:26,877
Things.
286
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,213
But, Jack, it's just that
I already accepted.
287
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:31,915
I-I thought it'd be fun,
and we haven't spent...
288
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:34,551
I said we're not going.
289
00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:38,722
Of course, we all knewwhat was going on here.
290
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:41,825
So I guess it was up to meto put it all in perspective.
291
00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:44,528
What's your problem, Dad?
292
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:47,832
I mean, it's his money,
isn't it?
293
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:50,501
He earned it. He took the risk.
294
00:12:55,909 --> 00:12:58,175
Looking back,it was one of those moments
295
00:12:58,177 --> 00:13:00,277
that makes you really,really proud
296
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,312
to have been a smart-aleck kid.
297
00:13:02,314 --> 00:13:04,815
More potatoes, butthead?
298
00:13:04,817 --> 00:13:08,653

Not that my family werestrangers to the place.
304
00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:23,967
We'd driven past the frontgates lots of times.
305
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:28,171
Yoohoo! Over here!
306
00:13:28,173 --> 00:13:30,341
Oh, brother.
307
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:31,741
Jack.
308
00:13:31,743 --> 00:13:34,845
Let's get this over with.
309
00:13:34,847 --> 00:13:38,082
Guess you could saywe were all in a festive mood.
310
00:13:38,084 --> 00:13:41,452
I'm so glad you could come.
311
00:13:43,956 --> 00:13:47,358
Oh, it's lovely here.
Isn't it lovely, Jack?
312
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,959
Where's Alvin?
313
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:51,028
Oh, he'll be joining us
in a while.
314
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:53,230
He had some business calls
to make.
315
00:13:53,232 --> 00:13:54,365
Is anyone thirsty?
316
00:13:54,367 --> 00:13:55,665
- Sure.
- No.
317
00:13:55,667 --> 00:13:57,868
Right.
318
00:13:57,870 --> 00:14:00,704
Hey, Kevin! Watch my swan dive!
319
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:06,810
Still, as country clubs go,this wasn't so bad.
320
00:14:06,812 --> 00:14:10,647
Nice surroundings,pleasant company.
321
00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:13,584
Hi.
322
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:14,885
Hey.
323
00:14:14,887 --> 00:14:16,287
How's it going?
324
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:18,122
Okay.
325
00:14:18,124 --> 00:14:19,357
And it seemed pretty clear
326
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:21,258
one of us had tobreak the ice here.
327
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:26,130
So... You want to...
Do something?
328
00:14:26,132 --> 00:14:29,200
So, when Paul offeredthe old olive branch,
329
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:30,333
I jumped right on.
330
00:14:30,335 --> 00:14:31,969

Of course I played before.

No, don't worry about me.
I can serve.

After all, maybe I wasn'tMr. country club,

but I could hold my own.

In retrospect, it was the strawthat broke this pauper's back.

It was grim.

Here we were, two families whogrew up practically next door,

any more saltines, huh?

had run agroundon a few measly acres

of beachfrontinvestment property.
371
00:16:52,311 --> 00:16:55,980
And there was nothing any of uscould do to make it better.
372
00:16:55,982 --> 00:16:58,883
I'd like to make a toast.

We've known each other
for many years.

We've seen each other
through good and bad.

Your good fortune
is our good fortune.
380
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:39,657
And I just want to say
how proud we are of you.
381
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,263
To you and your success
and all the joy it brings.

We hope it's just the beginning.

And in that simple moment,with those simple gestures,
390
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,034
you could feel a burden lift.
391
00:18:24,036 --> 00:18:26,203

I said, "it's gone."

The whole investment.

by the knowledge thatthe fortune of an optometrist
