Hey, we missed you baby.

What's he got? - Shut up.

Guns, I don't like guns.

- That's okay, baby, we'll just use a knife then huh?

- Listen, Catherine, we really have to push these guys.

I don't care what the competition is bidding,

hold on a second.

Jason, turn that down.

Jason, Eden?

Yeah, Mom.

- Honey, turn Jason's TV down, I can't hear.

- You need to turn this down. - Hey don't touch that!

- Would you stop it, just a little bit, gosh.

- I'm watching that! - Little stupid brat,

just a little bit.

- Why don't we set up a meeting with Fidelity

in January? - Stop!

- Come on, Jason, - We can work this out

your mother can't hear. for free.

- Ron, your news makes noise too, that's my show.

It's his favorite show, Ron.

Okay, okay, just trying to help.

Look, why don't we talk about this

when we get to the office.

All right, I'll see you there, bye-bye.

Jason.

What is that?

Good morning to you too.

And what time did you roll in last night?

Don't be such a mother.

Honey, and push your hair back,

I don't like it when it's in your eyes like that.

Have some orange juice, Eric.

How's the band coming?

When do we get to hear you guys play?

- I don't know, it's not your kind of music anyway, Ron.

Not my kind of music, huh?

What is my kind of music?

Beats me.

Oh, Tony, will you make a tuna casserole

for the kids tonight? - Tuna again?

- I know, it's New Year's but that's what they want.

And don't forget a salad.

- Do I ever forget salad? - Never, bye.

I'm trying, Joyce, I'm really trying,

the kid hates my guts.

He's just being careful, give him time.

Sure, like maybe another five years,

maybe after 10 years, he could work up to a hello

or a good morning.

You're making a big deal out of nothing,

the kids love you, I love you.

I'm trying.

- I know you are and you're doing a great job.

Is that all I get?

Don't forget the party tonight.

I'm gonna start early, one for Cathy

and one for Arthur.

- Where are you going? - Nowhere.

Hey, how about my 50 bucks?

We'll be back.

Okay, turn put your shirt back on

and Susie will go get the forms to sign.

Morning, a little early in the day for that.

- One for you, happy New Year. - Thank you.

One for my darling brother.

Hey, you want some good news?

Madison.

200 physicals minimum guaranteed.

All right, oh thank god,

I was about to offer them your body.

My body, thank you very much.

Oh, also, Arizona is putting out a new contract for bids,

physicals for state-owned daycare centers.

Wow, I'll get on that right away,

as soon as I run this over to Arthur.

- - Hey partner. - Partner.

- Hi, - Hey.

honey, how are you? - Happy New Year.

- Is this for me? - Yes it is.

Oh, you're such a sweetheart.

Thank you, thank you. - Hi, Bobby.

Hey, Joycey.

When's that husband of yours

gonna let me make him a millionaire?

Oh, we're working on it, Bobby.

- Yeah, I got investors lined up around the block.

Happy New Year to you and your family.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Bobby.

We'll see you.

- Guess what? - What?

We landed the Madison Insurance account.

I love it.

My sister, the tycoon. - Yep.

- Ah, so. - What?

The loan will be repayed on schedule?

- Oh, what are you putting the muscle on your own sister?

Business is business.

- And we are going after a state contract next.

- You're on a roll. - Hmm-mm,

you're gonna be proud of me.

I'm already very proud of you.

Hey, Arnie, hey, huh, what do you think?

- This is what you brought me here for, Bobby, rugs?

Carpets, Arnie, genuine Persian carpets,

they go for 6500 a piece.

- Carpets, rugs, what the hell is the difference?

They're old.

- Sure they're old, that's the way they like them.

And I want you to peddle them for me.

Ah yeah, no problem.

A lot of my friends pay 65 for an old rug,

excuse me, carpet.

Arnie, I'm gonna give you the names of some buyers.

It'll be no problem.

- Joycey, baby, ooh, you're looking good, momma,

you are looking good.

Hello, Arnie.

- I thought maybe you and I could go out for a drink

after work, how's that sound?

- Arnie, it's New Year's Eve, you know family, friends,

Guy Lombardo, any of that ring a bell.

- I was thinking of another New Year's Eve,

we didn't need Guy Lombardo, huh.

Arnie, don't touch me.

She's crazy about me, huh?

We used to be an item, Joyce and me.

- Once, we had one date once when we were 17-years-old.

He's still 17.

- Ah, you don't know what you're missing Joycey babe.

I think I do.

Fire!

Good.

He's crazy, you know that.

Everyone, everyone, come on over.

Pat, come on up here.

Pat and I wanna thank each and every one of you

for making this the most successful year

in the history of Graphics Dimension.

We're the fasting growing printing company in the southwest

and you've done one hell of a job.

Hello, Sherry.

Boy, we are solid, we are stable,

we have formed a firm foundation for the future

and the best is yet to come, cheers.

- Hey, hi, honey. - Hey, let me get you a glass.

Okay.

This looks like a good party.

- Hi. - Marilyn.

- Hi. - Champagne.

- Oh, yes thank you. - Excuse me.

Okay.

- Oh, that's a gorgeous outfit, you look terrific.

Thank you, you look wonderful too.

- Hey, Wally. - Hey, Joycey.

- Happy New Year. - Do you believe it, 1981.

- You know what, Wally, you are the best designer I know.

Hey, thank you.

- I just can't help thinking how much better you'd be

if you didn't fry your brains on this stuff.

Hey, Joyce, it's a party.

Don't you see how big this is,

opportunity doesn't come along this often.

- Oh. - And this deal

could change our whole lives.

- Look, hype our clients all you want, don't do it to me.

- I'm offering you half the chips in the biggest game

you ever had a chance to sit in in your life,

the chance for big money, seven figures.

With those Vegas guys holding the cars?

I don't like that game, Ronnie.

If we do something wrong, they don't take us to court

and sue us, they call in the Louisville Slugger

and they break our knees.

- Why do you wanna pass up an opportunity like this?

- Pat, trust me, I've always done right by you.

This is the time to take the next step.

Come on, let's have some champagne.

Come on. - Come on.

- No, I gotta think about this, you guys go.

What are you guys gonna do?

Don't ask questions.

I don't like this.

20 minutes, let's move.

Just put on something sexy,

we're gonna be wanting to party when we get back.

You gotta trust your instincts, honey.

If it doesn't feel right, you shouldn't take a chance on it.

- Ron is doing a great job and the business is taking off,

I can't fault him for wanting to be rich.

I'm happy with the way we live now.

Who needs the aggravation.

Did you get the cards ready?

I laid them out, Mom.

Ooh, I'd better get some quarters.

I'll get it.

Oh, napkins, napkins.
