Scorned

Truman, Truman, wake up.

There's someone in the house.

Wake up, wake up.

Oh, party's over, huh?

Yeah.

On.

Thanks, great party.

By the way, where exactly am I?

Belle, just a second,

I wanna put these out for the mailman.

Good morning, Mr. Weston.

Thank you, Belle.

Weston residence.

Yes, just a moment.

It's for you, Mr. Weston.

Oh, thanks, Belle.

Yeah, yeah, what is it, Mike?

I've got exactly seven minutes.

Belle, Belle, can you get him

to hold it down out there, please?

Yes sir, it's fine, Mr. Weston.

Hey, hey, can you hold it down out there.

Belle, listen, I'm gonna late tonight.

I've got a meeting downtown with the buyers.

Oh, will you get this refilled for me?

- Oh sure, Mrs. Weston, I'll keep dinner for you.

Thank you.

- Mike, Mike, if I could off the phone.

Yes, yes.

Pasta stuffed for dinner.

Yes, Mrs. Weston.

All right, Mike, I'll be there.

Okay, l'm on my way, bye-

Belle, I want you to go to the cleaners today,

Pick up my gray suit.

I've got a big meeting tomorrow.

It's my lucky suit.

You better pick out a lucky tie too.

That suit don't work too good the last time.

You know something, she's right.

Better make it the blue one.

Hold it.

Have you both forgot that today's Robey's birthday?

- Aw. - Oh no.

- I'll just have to pick up something at lunch.

I'm really late.

. OKW"

Belle, tell him that I said happy birthday

and that I'll see him tonight.

Maybe you can pick him up a cake or something.

Traffic's gonna be murder.

See you later, Belle.

Bye, Mrs. Weston.

Hey, hold it, where do you think you're going?

Get in the kitchen and get some breakfast.

No, I'm not hungry right now, okay?

- Go and don't you give me no trouble, huh?

Blow out the candles and make a wish.

Now, open your present.

Thanks, Belle.

- You find a girlfriend to give it to, okay?

. OKW"

Good, now go.

Go or you're gonna be late for school.

Hey, I'm goin'.

Bye.

Bye.

- I'm bringing Mason Wainwright home for dinner tonight.

I can't do this every night, Truman.

- No, no, no, no, just Wainwright, that's all.

Ijust need tonight, I'll close the deal.

That's what you said last night.

Look, this is my business.

You know how may guys are out there

just waiting for me to slip up this much, and I'm out.

I'm back to designing strip malls

for some two-bit developer in Ohio.

That's not gonna happen.

Baby, we are so close.

We're so close.

Wainwright is the biggest client

that I've ever brought into the office.

He's got 60 lots of prime L.A. real estate to develop.

The partnership's mine.

Kramer's about to retire.

He's practically dropping it in my lap.

Truman, what have you done?

Come here.

Now, don't peek.

Truman, what are you doing?

Do not peek.

Okay.

Peek.

What is that?

It's leased.

Gotta look like we can play with the big boys.

Truman, we can't afford a new car.

We're up to our ears in debt.

You never needed an expensive car to do yourjob before.

It's notjust my job.

It's my career, it's my life.

You know what they say, if you wait till you can afford it,

you're never gonna have it.

- Truman, I can go back to work, at least part time.

Christ, Patty, don't bring me down.

Can't you just believe in me?

Haven't I given you everything?

- What I want is a home and a family, Truman,

not a car payment or a mortgage.

You let me worry about that.

I'm gonna take care of you.

But we're so close, baby, we're so close.

Dinner's at eight.

Wear somethin' pretty, okay?

Can you believe this guy's called

three times in one morning?

Good morning!

Thanks, Patty.

Am I ever glad you're here.

Everyone in this office is acting incredibly strange today.

Even my computer is on the fritz.

I can't get the functions to work.

Look at that one.

Call back Brad, he's called three times

in less than an hour.

Please, just call him.

Did Wainwright call?

No, not this morning.

- Well, give him an hour or so to sleep off last night,

and confirm dinner with him tonight,

okay, call him. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What's this?

What's goin' on in there?

- I have a great respect for your talent.

Beats me, Green and Kramer

have been hiding in there for two hours.

Something's up.

- You're my eyes and ears around here, darling,

keep 'em open.

I'll see what I can do.

Hey, Cheryl.

Hi, Robey, why aren't you in class?

- Uh, well, I was actually waiting for you.

There's something I wanted to ask you.

Sure, what is it?

Well, today's kinda my birthday,

and uh, I was just hopin' that maybe

you'd like to come over later, maybe do something.

Oh, I'm really sorry, I can't.

I'm kinda seein' somebody right now.

On.

Well, that's okay.

- I'm really sorry, happy birthday, though.

Yeah.

Sure.

Oh, Mr. Kramer, ljust wanted to--

What's goin' on?

All right, here's all I know.

His name is Alex West,

and he's some hot shot over with Platt and Associates.

Kramer's been on the phone with him

for the past couple of weeks.

What for?

I don't know, nobody's talking.

Nothing to worry about there.

It's big.

Oh no, definitely--

Keep on, QKaY?

Remind me, none of my lawyers--

All right.

All the way.

Let's go. - Let's go.

Tough day, Mr. Weston.

Just long, Belle.

- Well, your lucky suit is up in the closet,

but I'm pushing for the blue one.

So, you want the good news or the bad news.

Uh, surprise me.

Okay, here goes.

The gardener busted out the window in the guest house.

I told him that if he doesn't replace it before it rains,

he'd find a scorpion in his bed.

Okay, so what's the good news?

That is the good news.

The bad news is the school called.

Robey didn't show up today.

Robey!

- Excuse me, Mr. Weston. - Yeah, dad?

Robey, come down here.

Traitor.

So, it was a nice day today.

You have the top down, yeah?

Good, good.

We got just a few weeks left

till the end of the school year.

And the Brookview Academy agreed

to take you as part of their summer session,

providing you brought up your academic standing a notch.

So, do you think now is the time for you to fuck up?

I don't understand why
