- [Narrator] Tonight on Wiseguy.

- You're not ready yet.

I knew you wouldn't be ready.

- All right, you wanna go on a camping trip?

Fine, you wanna go, hm?

Let's go be happy campers.

(upbeat music)

- I know some local girls who can really clean your trout.

(water splashes)

(laughing)

Some pre-rolled joints?

- I don't wanna fight.

- Well you did a minute ago.

You afraid to hit me 'cause I got phony pins?

(howling)

(dramatic instrumental music)

(high-pitched mystical music)

- [Frank] I'm terribly sorry about your husband, Mrs. Twine,

and I am sorry it took the government so long

to get you the paperwork but Shakala is yours again.

If I can ever do anything to help

please don't hesitate to call.

- Thank you for believing in my husband.

I'm gonna put this in my Rolodex.

Never know when you're gonna need a Fed.

(chuckles)

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

(soft jazz music)

- Hi Frank.

- Vince, what are you doing here?

- Well I just came to clear up the last few things

out of my office.

You know, what was my office,

and to say goodbye to Amber.

- Uh-huh.

Okay, well, this is the last night in the music business.

Tomorrow your limousine turns into a pumpkin.

- I know.

- All right.

I suggest you get a good night's sleep.

We got an appointment in the a.m. 5:30 sharp.

- Oh man, I completely forgot about that.

- You forgot?

- It's all right Frank.

Don't worry, I'll be there all dressed and ready to go.

- 5:30 a.m. sharp.

You set your alarm clock.

- I will.

♪ They don't come no more ♪

♪ Rich relations ♪

- Hi.

- Hi.

- [Vinnie] How you doin'?

- Isaac always used to listen to Billie Holiday

when things got crazy.

He said he was touching his roots.

- Never met anybody like him before.

- He had a big heart.

It's funny that should be the organ that failed him.

(sighs)

I don't think I can run this business without him.

- You managed to keep this place afloat

despite his gambling debts.

You can do it.

- I don't know why I spend so much time in his office.

- [Vince] It's because it's your office now.

♪ Papa may have ♪

♪ But God bless the child that's got his own ♪

- Did you have anything to eat yet?

- Hm?

♪ That's got his own ♪

- No, no I haven't.

I know a great little place.

It's quiet.

They have great sauce there.

I know good sauce always make me feel better.

So Amber, where were you brought up?

- In The Village right across from St. Anthony's.

- I had a cousin who used to live over there.

We used to jump roofs together.

- Really?

I used to be pretty good at that myself

once upon a time.

- You used to jump roofs?

- [Amber] (laughs) Yeah.

- Get out of here.

- No I ran with the boys until I was about 14

then I got into music.

I went to NYU on a partial music scholarship.

- Huh.

The competition must have been pretty stiff at NYU.

- Yeah, it was brutal.

It donned on me my freshman year that I would

never compete on the level I wanted to

so I stopped playing.

- You just gave it up?

- Well I stopped performing.

I started managing this group from Long Island

called The Geronimos.

- Geronimos.

I haven't heard about them in years.

- Yeah, they were a pretty good little bar band back then.

No legs.

I wasn't making a lot of money but I was in the biz

so I was happy.

- So how'd you meet Isaac?

- I didn't meet Isaac.

I was run over by him.

The man was a walking encyclopedia of musical history.

He sized me up in a heartbeat.

Chastised me for being another smug hanger-on.

Isaac said you either jump on the bus

or you sit on the curb and watch the parade go by.

So what about you Vinnie?

You gonna stick around for the ride?

- No, I can't.

It's too high profile.

I feel like the government's living in my shorts.

(both laughing)

- Well that's too bad.

You're really talented.

Come on Vinnie, you could work something out.

- I don't think so.

- So what, am I gonna see you on the news

with a raincoat over your face or what?

Look I know you're supposed to be Vinnie Terranova mobster

but it doesn't wash with me.

I've worked with you long enough.

I've seen you with people.

You're not like any mobster I've ever known.

- You know a lot of mobsters?

- No.

No, I grew up around them.

No I think it's a comfortable veneer for you

to wear because you're afraid to get too close to people.

Ah.

- [Vinnie] My dad used to take me fishing

down here when I was a kid.

- [Amber] Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

We used to sell some of what we caught

down the local markets around here.

- That's funny.

I don't see you patient enough

to wait for anything to come to you.

- Yeah.

I could sit there and stare at the line

for hours with him.

Used to catch a lot, too.

Mostly bottom fish.

The kind of stuff that people with money

wouldn't even look at.

The old guys in the neighborhood,

they could cook up shoe leather and make it taste good.

(sighs)

- I had a really nice time tonight.

- Well that's good, so did I.

You gonna be all right?

- Yeah I'll be fine.

(sighs) I miss Isaac, but I have no remorse.

I loved him unconditionally.

I gave everything I had to my marriage

and I'm proud of that.

(sighs) Lonely.

I mean I'm scared to death to go back

to that huge empty apartment.

Part of me wants to take you home with me

so that I can still spend the night

with a big comfortable man.

- Part of me would like that too, but um,

I don't know if we're talking about the same parts.

(both laughing)

- Well, you can take the guy out of the neighborhood

but you can't take the neighborhood out of the guy, huh?

- Yeah, I know, I know.

It's a terrible thing isn't it?

- It's not so terrible.

(sighs)

You're a great guy, Vinnie.

(romantic instrumental music)

(sighs) Oh.

(door clicks)

(knocking)

- [Frank] Vince.

- It's open!

Come on in.

(door slams)

What are you doing here?

- You're not ready yet.

I knew you wouldn't be ready.

- Frank, it's the middle of the night.

I am beat.

- It's 5:30.

- Is it?

- You are on a trip.

All right we got a 10 hour drive ahead of us.

You can sleep in the car.

Where's your equipment?

You haven't even packed yet have you?

- [Vinnie] No, I haven't even packed yet.

- Oh well, I knew it.

You're hopeless.

So what?

You need somebody to take care of you?

- I don't need anybody to take care of me.

- Then why aren't you packed?

- All right you want to go on a camping trip?

Fine.

You wanna go, you wanna go, hm?

Fine.

We'll go on a camping trip, okay?

Yeah I can tell this is gonna be a real good time.

Okay, all right?

Let's go be happy campers.

Whose car is that?

- I told you, somebody's coming with us.

- You didn't tell me that.

- I told you that.

- Uncle Mike.

- Not this trip, son.

- Vince, meet Daniel Benjamin Burroughs.

(twangy music)

- [Vinnie] Daniel Benjamin Burroughs?

(birds chirping)

(upbeat twangy music)

(neck cracks)

- Ugh, how do you do that?

- Just come by it naturally.

Where are we?

- Paradise, sleepy head.

How you feelin'?

- Ah, like I slept in a box.

- Yeah, for 12 hours.

Well, here we are.

(birds chirping)

- How'd you find this place?

- Dan's, the uncle's.

Trip was his idea.

I think it was a good one.

I think he'd appreciate it if you got to know him.

- So you use this place very much?

- I haven't been up here in a couple of years

but I got some family that uses it occasionally.

- Right. - Right.

Couple of singles in the bedroom.

You guys don't like to share,

the sofa turns into a bed.

- Nah that's fine, it's fine.

The only thing I want is a shower, man.

I feel like paste.

- All right, it's right through there.

There oughta be some towels and soap

and everything in the cabinet.

- All right.

(sighs)

(tap squeaking)

(water splatting)

(classical orchestral music)

(water splatting)

- Frank.

We're in Vermont,

not Vienna.

There you go.

(country music)

Frank.

- What?

- [Daniel] Here's your line, Frank.

- All right, all right, all right.

- What is that?

What am I spending the weekend a couple truck drivers?

Ugh.

Some rock and roll in there.

(rock and roll music)

That's better.

- See this is what you get for having him

investigate the music business.

- Where's the food?

- Well, it's just out there waiting to be caught.

- You mean we got to catch dinner?

- This is a fishing trip.

- Frank, it's night time.

I am not fishing at night.

I'm starving.

- You know, you'd better the check the date on that.

- Best if used before June 1986.

What does that mean, best?

Does that mean not so bad if used after 1986?

Does that mean eat this now it'll kill ya.

- Don't worry, in a couple hours we're gonna

be listening to the sound of sizzling trout

over an open fire.

- Frank in a couple hours I'll be in hypoglycemic shock.

Good until April '85.

Oh great, petrified flakes.

I think this company went out of business

while I was still in prison.

- Enough.

We'll fish in the morning.

Is there any place to eat around here?

(country music)

- [Man] If he's not gonna pay us, I'm not playin'.

- [Woman] We always pass the hat.

- I said, not anymore.

- Please?

- (sighs) Look, you can accompany yourself, okay?

And you can find your own ride home.

- Three blue plate specials.

One for you,

one for you,

and one for you handsome.

- Thank you.

- How you tell the plate's blue?

- Come on Frank, I know your eating habits.

This is gourmet for you and you know it.

- I thought I'd start a diet with this trip.

- A diet?

For what?

You're nothing but skin and bones.

- Thank you, and cholesterol.

- Cheeseburgers are good for you.

There was a report last month in a medical journal

that the enzymes in beef and dairy products

go to your blood cells and protect from cancer.

- What are you gonna leave your job with the OCB

and become chief flag for the cow council?

- [Man] So, you guys up here fishin'?

- [Daniel] Yeah.

- Up for anything else?

- Like what?

- Well uh, I know some local girls

who can really clean your trout

if you get what I'm sayin'.

- You know, I get what you're sayin',

not this trip.

- That's cool.

Some pre-rolled joints?

- Hey man, get out of here.

- How'd you get stuck with the albatross?

(laughing)

- Laugh.

- Come on, Frank, we're on vacation.

- The guy is supplying half the county with dope,

I'm not gonna ignore this.

- No no no, come on Frank.

This is more my county than yours.

Let me deal with it, all right?

Boy oh boy.

I haven't done this in years.

- I don't know if this is such a good idea.

- He'll scream if he needs us.

- Hey bubba.

What do you got there for 20 bucks?

- A whole bag for 20 bucks.

- All right.

Here, looks good, yeah.

You know it's your lucky day, man.

Check this out.

You know how stupid you are?

See the old man over there?

He'd like to see you in jail.

I'm gonna give you a break, man.

I'm just gonna throw your ass out on the street, all right?

Now get outta here.

- What's this about him leaving?

- He's been making noise.

He leads an isolated life career-wise.

- Yeah, no kidding.

I couldn't hole up in that communications loft

for more than a week.

I always thought he liked it.

- He does, but in a desk job.

- I don't know if I like the idea of having

somebody else be my lifeline.

- Come on, I can play for you.

Come on.

- That'd be great, but I don't know.

- Just give me a chance.

- [Woman] I can't believe--

- Maybe he just needs some fresh air.

- Maybe he got spring fever.

(woman laughs)

He was a real hound at the academy.

- You went to the academy together?

- Yeah.

You see there's a lot of things you don't know.

You're such a kid.

(bar patrons chattering)

- What's that for?

- [Daniel] All right, we got a little

country number for you.

- He's still mad at ya for not recording him

when you were running a record company.

- He never asked me.

- I told you he had a band in college.

- Hey.

Who the hell are you?

- Whoa pal, shh, there's kids in here.

- Oh yeah?

Well you're interfering in my life.

- I'm not interfering in your life.

- You sleeping with her too?

- Matt, please.

- I think you oughta apologize for that right now.

- Oh yeah, yeah?

Well I think maybe you should come outside and make me.

- Okay fine.

- No don't.

- Don't worry babe, it's okay.

I'm just gonna explain to him

that it's just a little song, okay?

Just hang tight.

- Hey man, I'm sorry.

- Oh no no no no.

You save that pity the cripple crap, all right?

- What are we supposed to do,

let him get into a bar room brawl, too?

- No I don't think so.

- You just take care of yourself, Clyde.

- Hey come on, I said I was sorry?

I don't want to fight.

- Well you did a minute ago.

You afraid of hitting me 'cause I got on prostheses?

I'm not afraid to hit you.

- Danny, this is stupid!

- Stay out of this!

- Please, I'm sorry, okay?

I don't want to fight.

- Uncle Mike, would you--

- [Daniel] Stay out of this, both of ya!

- Look, let's just forget it.

- Why, 'cause I got phony pins?

'Cause I'm a cripple, huh?

You got a problem with that?

- Yeah, 'cause you're a cripple,

and if you weren't a cripple I'd knock your block off.

- Well you take your best shot, pal!

(punch thuds) (grunts)

- Look, I'm sorry, all right?

(groaning)

- Uncle.

- Oh, man.

Oh.

You're supposed to back me up.

- You told us to stay out of it.

- And you started the fight.

- I get attacked and you guys watch.

Yeah, thanks.

Great pals.

- What the hell's the matter with him?

- What's wrong with any man?

(door slams)

- What kind of an answer is that?

- It is an answer.

- You're engaging in philosophy, Frank.

In which case, I should know which philosopher

this discourse is rooted in.

So, who is it?

Nietzsche?

Kant?

Aristotle?

Plato perhaps?

Or is it Pluto and Goofy?

Whoever it is just don't tell me it's Malthus.

I get very vertigo discussing Malthus.

- I get very vertigo discussing,

you know you really can go home when you want to.

- Oh come off Frank, I asked you a simple question.

You gave me a fortune cookie answer.

Now what the hell's the matter with him?

- Vince, what is wrong with any man?

- Oh.

Women.

- Women.

Doesn't always have to be a wife or an ex-wife

or lover, sometimes it can be a mother

or a daughter.

The Uncle's daughter is getting married

and he's having a tough time with it.

- Hm.

It's weird you know, I don't think of him as

old enough to have a daughter

who's old enough to be married.

- Mm, neither does he.

She's 19 years old.

(sighs)

- [Both] Women.

- [Frank] Air Vince, that's fresh air.

Given to what we're breathing on a routine basis

I can understand your confusion.

- [Vinnie] I just can't believe

how beautiful it is out here.

Doing strange things to my appetite.

- Mr. Burroughs, if the fishing is half as good

as you say it is all appetites should be

satisfied by nightfall,

weird or otherwise.

- I don't know what's the matter with him.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

(mug clangs)

Hey Uncle Mike.

All right?

- Just not awake yet.

- Not still hacked about last night are ya?

- Come on Vinnie, I acted like an idiot.

- Don't worry about it, the guy was a jerk.

- Ah, he thought I was hittin' on his girl.

- Well so what?

You weren't.

- Partner?

Yes I was.

- Considering you didn't have a whole lot of time

to work with I say you gave it one hell of a shot.

(sighs)

- So, gonna put your line in the water?

(water babbling)

- Vinnie, you're slapping the surface of the water.

You're supposed to be a mayfly not a pelican.

- I'm barely touching the water.

- You're coming in like a Japanese zero.

That's a silk wrapped graphite Nicholas whip

you have in your hands, it's not a baseball bat.

- Leave me alone.

- Guys.

- Vince!

That is one of my favorite flies.

You're not doing this right, Vince.

The back pass is the summation of individual motion

of which strength plays no part.

The eye and the hand and the arm

they all move as one, nice and easy.

You gotta think floaty.

Think floaty!

- All right!

All right, I'm floaty.

I'm floaty.

I'm floaty.

Well great, now your hat's floating, you happy?

- You guys are scaring the fish!

- You know, you forget the food.

You forget the beer, and then you jump all over me

about your precious hand-tied fly.

- That was my lucky nymph.

- You know you're taking all the fun out of this.

- Guys!

- Wait a minute.

- You got a strike!

- I think I got something!

- Get it Vinnie!

- I think I got something! - Vinnie!

- I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

I don't believe it.

I think I got something here.

- Get it Vinnie!

- Come on, that's it.

Come here you little beauty.

Come here.

(water splashes)

Come here.

Come on board, yeah.

That's it.

That's it, come to papa baby.

Go get 'em Frank.

(upbeat music)

Go get 'em Frank.

- Come on! - Get him!

Get him now!

- You know I do appreciate you guys coming up here with me.

I needed to be around someone that understands

the wear and tear that this job can have on a person.

My daughter, she's getting married.

Now this has caused me to reflect.

I always felt more her friend than her father.

You know I saw her every couple of weeks

and then it became every couple of months

when she started college,

and then she tells me she's getting married

and I threw a fatherly fit.

(sighs) It's not a cloak I wear very well.

But she is too young to get married and I am not

gonna be part of the biggest mistake in her life.

- What does that mean?

You're not gonna go to the wedding or what?

- Going back to work?

- That's what I'm thinking about.

- Well those are two separate issues, Dan.

- Come on, you know better than that.

This job didn't do your relationship any good.

- No.

- Sheila, my ex-wife.

She is simply delighted with my objection to this marriage.

It gives her the chance to commiserate with Lauren

as to what a low-life I am.

- No matter how you feel about your ex-wife

the only people you're gonna hurt

are you and your daughter.

- Frank, the marriage is a mistake,

and Sheila is nuts for letting her get married so young.

- Listen, if you've just been a friend to her,

and just periodically a dad,

how do you know she's not mature enough to handle it?

- Well that's very easy coming from someone

who doesn't have to answer to anyone but himself.

- Well yeah, it's true, I've never been a parent

but I have been a kid,

and I know how tough it is to be at odds with your father.

- Well she doesn't know how life works.

- Well that comes with time.

She's getting married and she wants you to be there.

You're still a part of her life.

- I don't think I am anymore.

- Not going to the wedding is only gonna

throw fuel on the fire.

- Listen, she knows I don't approve and she knows

how much this is hurting me.

- You know a lot more about how life works than she does.

Maybe you should be the one that is above

all of this and be there for her,

instead of off slinking into the woods

and pouting about it.

- I don't need you guys to hammer me.

(sighs)

I love that girl with all my heart.

Before this marriage thing, we were friends.

(sighs)

I guess being more her friend than her father

is my true handicap.

You know I wish I could tell you

an exciting war story, Vinnie,

but it's just a simple accident.

I was helping a guy change a tire on the Jersey Turnpike

and I got clipped by a passing car,

and I got so totally absorbed in my rehabilitation

and my work, it was so important to me to show

my independence, (sighs) I guess I forgot

about the people that depend on me.

- Oh.

You know Dan I think we tell 'em we love 'em

and forget to show it or we show it and forget to tell 'em.

- Yeah.

- What?

- What.

You sit there telling me your cry in your beer stories

and then you got the gall to turn around

and say, "Hey Vinnie, what's the matter with you?

"How come you're not married?"

Can there be any doubt?

- No, no doubt there.

But there has never been a marriage

that wasn't a mistake at some point.

That's why you got 40 years or so to work it out,

if you're lucky.

- Yeah, if you're lucky.

- If I could undo what went wrong with Jenny,

I'd go back.

- Now what makes you think she'd take you back?

- I don't know that she would.

I don't think she would.

All I'm saying is that after 19 years it is easier

to go with what's familiar than it is to

face up to it and do something about it.

Jenny and I both knew we needed time

to think about it but Jenny is the one

that was brave enough to say so.

We both knew it but she's the one that said it.

I don't like it.

I couldn't have done it.

It cuts my ego right down the middle.

It's still one of the bravest things

I've ever seen somebody do.

(inhales deeply)

The bitch.

- Going through life alone is not the answer.

- Yeah well I'm not saying that.

I sit here and listen to you

or think about what Frank went through with Jenny,

all the heartache and expense that he went through

to save her life, and what does she do?

She hands him his walking papers because she said

she was wilting under his nose

and he didn't even notice it.

No, uh-uh.

You know what I say?

I say forget about it,

'cause it just ain't worth it.

- Are we expecting company?

- It's my daughter.

(soft instrumental music)

- [Lauren] How can you call it a mistake?

You haven't even met him.

- [Daniel] I don't have to meet him.

- Then your argument is meaningless.

I love this man.

I'm gonna have his children.

- I don't want to hear this!

- I'm gonna have his children even if I don't marry him.

No, I am not pregnant.

I'm in love.

Why can't you just accept that and be happy for me?

- [Daniel] How can I be happy when I know

you're making a mistake?

- [Lauren] And I repeat you don't even know him!

(sighs)

- I had him checked out.

- You can't even say that without choking on it.

How dare you treat me like someone you know.

- I am your father.

- Yeah?

I have distant memories of that.

They're collecting dust all over this cabinet.

(sighs)

What's wrong with him?

- He dropped out of college.

- (scoffs) Oh God, maybe we should have him shot.

- He's unemployed.

- He's 22 years old.

What were you doing when you were 22?

- I knew where I was going.

- No, you didn't.

You knew where you wanted to go, and so does he.

- Yeah right.

He's a sculptor.

Lauren, that is not a job!

- How can you sit there with those whiskers

and your ponytail and lecture me

like some middle-aged banker?

- I'll tell you how I can do it.

I know who he is.

I don't have to meet him.

He is a 22 year old boy in hormonal overload.

He has no idea what it means

to be the head of a household!

He's totally self-absorbed in his passion for his art

and his lust for you.

You marry him and inside a year you'll be pregnant.

Within a year and a half you will be nurturing

two infants at your bosom and one of 'em will be him.

When that wears thin, he'll say to you,

"Sorry babe, my work is my life."

And then it's adios to you and that bambino.

- I don't believe that.

- Neither did your mother.

- What are you looking for?

- I don't know.

A deck of cards, cribbage, anything.

This is gonna go on all night.

Frank, what are you doing?

Hey maybe he's strangling her.

(palm thwacks)

Well I don't know.

- You're infuriating.

You give me every opportunity to hate you,

serve it up on a platter.

Why don't you want me to love you?

Yes, I need a cab to the airport please.

- Don't do that.

- Well when's the next flight out?

I don't care where.

- Lauren, please.

- A small airport, I just need to connect

to any place that'll get me to New York.

There must be something to Albany or Boston or.

(phone clicks)

(sighs)

- Running away from this is not gonna resolve it.

- That's a funny thing coming from you.

I had to come to you.

- I know.

I'm sorry.

We gotta try and deal with this.

It's not like I turned my back on you completely.

I'm paying for the wedding.

- I don't need you to pay for it.

I need you to be there.

(sighs)

- It's real hard for me, honey.

- 'Cause of mom?

- Yeah.

And I do think it's wrong.

I think you're too young to be married

and I don't like this guy and yeah, yeah,

I haven't even met him!

But he's taking my little girl away from me

before I got a chance to know her.

Before she's gotten a chance to know me without

all that stuff that goes on between your mother and I.

- There's nothing I want more than that.

But I'm not a child anymore.

If we're gonna make an effort to know each other

it has to be as adults,

and it has to be a two-way street.

It can't just be on your terms.

- Sweetheart.

(soft instrumental music)

Is it possible,

maybe just a little,

that I might be right?

You're so young.

- Maybe it is, but I think you're wrong and unfair

not to at least meet him.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Boy is this kid gonna hear it from me in the morning,

keep me awake half the night.

(Vinnie groans)

19 years old, she's gonna get married.

She's got the whole thing figured out.

Twice her age I don't even know what the questions are.

- Do you mind?

- Sorry.

(sighs)

- You know the reason you haven't figured out the questions

is 'cause you're too busy judging

how other people conduct their lives.

- What?

- Well how do you know she's not right?

Maybe she does have her life figured out.

She seems pretty mature to me.

- Married at 20 years old I think I speak from experience.

- You know you oughta be a politician

the way you change sides.

A couple of hours ago you were saying

you'd go through it all over again.

- And I'd do it differently.

- [Vinnie] Well sure you know that now!

- That's right!

- [Daniel] Hey you guys!

Hold it down there's people trying to sleep in here.

- You know you're criticizing her for not having hindsight.

- Shh!

- That is a catch 22 that all parents lay on their kids.

- You just wait 'til you have 'em.

You just wait 'til you have 'em.

- Shh!

(bed creaking)

What is it?

- It's just you and me, big guy.

Uncle Mike went to meet his son-in-law.

You want to stay?

- I don't know.

Do you?

(engine revving)

(phone beeping)

- Uh, Jenny?

It's Frank.

I'm fine.

Oh, I'm just fine.

I uh, no, I didn't really call to talk to Greg.

I was wondering if you might like to have dinner.

No my agenda's, I just want.

Seven would be great.

Bye.

(phone beeps)

- Still trying to figure out what

those questions are, huh Frank?

- Oh Vinnie. (sighs)

You're right, hindsight's everything.

- Well Frank.

It's been swell.

Say hi to Jenny for me.

- Vinnie.

- Yeah.

- See ya.

- Okay.

(soft instrumental music)

(bottle cap clangs)

Hi honey.

I'm home.

(piano music)

Amber?

- Oh!

(sighs)

(laughs)

- Sorry.

I almost didn't recognize you.

You're dressed like I am.

- Well I'm living here.

I'm just a little short on closet space.

I couldn't stand being in the apartment anymore, you know?

- Yeah.

Ta da!

- What are you doing?

- Well I owe you a dinner

and I don't like owing,

so I got us some veal picatta, a little antipasto,

some vermicelli with garlic and oil and

an '84 Cabernet.

- Ooh.

- Scooped it from some store on Madison Avenue.

- So how was your fishing trip?

- Fine, great.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

- All that male bonding kind of stuff?

You know, drinking beer, belching,

whizzing on the side of the road.

(laughing)

- Yeah I guess we did a little of that.

- Yeah, how 'bout that gutting fish?

That's fun, huh?

- Oh yeah.

Barrel of laughs.

- And those campfire bragging about your conquests.

Ooh, that Chrissy Conazarro.

Now she had casabas.

Boys.

- No.

You know what we talked about?

Talked about isolation and loneliness.

How people use their work to get buried in it.

You know people feed on their own inertia.

Instead of picking up a phone or knocking on a door

they just stew in their own solitude.

(sighs)

- That's good, Vince.

- Think so?

- Ooh yeah.

(chuckles)

- Oh that's good.

Ah, I thought I'd try it out.

I figured if it works on you

it's gotta work on Chrissy Conazarro.

(laughs)

Now she had casabas.

(both laughing)
