Failure!

Listen, I'm sorry, but my hands are tied here.

There must be something I can do.

Are you gonna get that?

Hmm? Oh, no.

Um... (CLEARS THROAT, SNIFFLES)

How about this?

How about I take out a different kind of loan?

So it's not a business loan.

It's not an experimental loan.

It's more of a personal growth loan, we'll call it.

That way, we avoid the, uh, trap of the business,

and I can still, uh, invest in where I need to,

and business can grow, and we can both make some money.

I-- you're six months behind on your current loan.

If you don't make the payments now,

we'll have no choice but to go into foreclosure.

I understand.

I understand, but you know, I have always paid on time,

and I know that that counts for something.

Actually, it counts for a lot.

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

You know, we could have gone with a bigger bank,

but we didn't.

Could have gone with a big chain,

but we went with you,

and do you know why we went with you?

We went with you because you understand families

like nobody else does.

That's why I'm here, James.

Out of respect for you and your father.

God rest his soul.

Excellent. So you'll help us?

I'm trying to.

I put the process off for as long as I could.

Make the payments or you're going to lose the factory.

God damn it.

Whatever happened to loyalty?

Look, I get that you're upset, but I'm on your side here.

I understand.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

God dammit.

Well, um,...

it's just the family heritage, you know?

This place, everything.

Believe me, I understand.

This has got to be awful.

Okay.

I can give you four days.

After that, there's nothing I can do.

-I understand. Thank you. All right.

Thanks for comin' by, Paulina.

I really appreciate you making the drive out.

No worries.

It was nice to see you again.

You, too. Be in touch soon, yeah?

You betcha. -All right.

Be safe backin' out of the driveway.

Thank you.

-(DOOR SHUTS) -(DOOR LOCK CLICKS)

God damn it!

-(GLASS CLINKS) -(DRINK POURS)

Oh.

(ON PHONE) Answer your phone, James. The buyers have been on my--

(ON PHONE) Where the hell are you? We need to talk.

(ON PHONE) James? -(BUTTON CLICKS)

(ON PHONE) Hi, sir. It's Carlos.

I know you don't want to be disturbed,

but there's an inspection coming up

and we're behind on repairs.

I'd like to offer a month's salary to help out.

Oh, God.

(ON PHONE) Everyone just needs to buckle down

and we can get this place back--

You know, I miss you, you crazy old man.

There's no point in avoiding them.

They need an answer.

I'm not avoiding them.

Well, then decide already.

I did decide.

Really? -Yes.

Doesn't sound like it.

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's not gonna make it any better.

Yes, it will!

You wanna know what I would do?

I don't care what you do.

Well, I'll tell you.

I'd stand up, be a man, and stand up for what's mine.

Would you mind, please, just today?

Thank you.

Terrific.

Hi, Lizette.

(ON PHONE) What the hell is wrong with you?

Your daughter's been trying to get a hold of you for days.

Yes, well, I've been kind of busy.

There's a lot goin' on other than the wedding.

(ON PHONE) Just get on with it and sell that shithole.

Jessica needs help paying for the wedding,

and don't even get me started about the bachelorette party!

Lizette, there are some things in life

that are more important than money.

(ON PHONE) Go fuck yourself, James.

Ex-wives.

You gotta love 'em.

Yeah.

Come out here!

Who the hell is that?

-I do not know. James!

Hey! James!

I know you're in there!

Oh, is that...

Oh. I need to talk to you!

It's Michael.

I said come out here!

James!

Shh! Shut the fuck up.

Don't do this, James.

I'm telling you right now, you are making a big mistake.

Okay, okay.

-First of all, hi, Michael. -Hi.

Number two, what mistake?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the worst decision--

James!

Who is this guy?

Billy, it's okay. He's a friend.

Thank you, I appreciate.

You can go back to bed now, okay?

Okay, thank you.

Come inside, will ya?

Yeah.

Sun seems to be affecting your mind.

-(CHUCKLES) -What?

Real funny.

Okay, I'm begging you, okay?

Don't do this.

You know what's gonna happen if you sell that place?

How the hell does he know?

I don't know.

Michael, why don't you calm down?

Take a breath.

Go fix yourself a drink.

Yeah, sure.

Why not?

That's it.

Top show.

Typical.

Who told you?

I mean, come on, James.

I'm not an idiot.

I've been in that factory my whole life.

Who else knows?

Well, it's mostly rumors, but, you know,

doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

Michael, what do you want?

I need a loan.

Oh, you want a loan.

Yeah. -Okay.

You know, I've been working for you for years.

-Mm-hmm. So I think I owe it.

Um, and also, the factory that you're gonna sell,

it's basically a second home for a lot of people,

and now you're actually gonna give it away?

I'm not giving away anything.

Yeah, you're gonna give it away for a big, fat check.

What would your father think?

He doesn't think anything because he's dead.

Yeah.

Yeah, betrayin' him sounds real easy.

What did you say?

Yeah, you're betraying him

and everyone who broke their backs for you.

-Get over here. -(MICHAEL GROANS)

-Sit down. -(MICHAEL GROANS)

How's your problem?

Listen to me, you little fuckin' weasel.

You think I don't know that you were skimming off the top

all those fuckin' years?

I don't know how many thousands of dollars you walked out with.

And my old man said to me, he said, "No, no, no.

not Michael.

Michael has a wife.

Michael has a kid.

We gotta give that guy some slack."

And I gave you slack.

And you come here

and you ask me for a fucking loan?

What do you want from me? An apology?

I want you to get the fuck out of my house.

Get out.
