just called great-aunts?
Why not "good aunts" or
"fantastic aunts" or "terrible aunts"?
No. It doesn't have anything to do
with what kind of person they are.
It's got to do with great.
You know, they're great, older.
What about those red ants that
crawl around and bite you?
No, no, no. That's A-N-T.
Ant.
What's a first cousin, twice removed?
I have absolutely no idea.
I'm going selling with my dad today.
You're not going to school?
Christmas holidays. No school.
Christmas holiday.
- Keep your nose clean.
- Yeah.
How come you didn't become
a wallpaper hanger like Sam?
Well, Sam always had this idea...
...that doing manual labor
had no dignity, but selling...
"Selling was security," he said.
No matter where you are
or what you're selling...
...you can always make a living.
- Can you sell anything?
- Anything. I can sell anything.
See, it's all a question of
being able to talk to people.
The product?
It doesn't make any difference.
You're selling yourself.
Can you sell model trains?
- As many as they can make.
- Can you sell toothbrushes?
To as many people as have teeth.
Quick! See that car?
What car is that?
Chrysler!
The one over there on the right?
- Nash!
- Pretty good.
Give me your money.
- What's that?
- Give me your money.
Are you kidding me?
No, I'm not kidding you.
Give me your money.
What, are you robbing me?
With all these houses around?
Yeah, I'm robbing you.
Get help.
I can't play.
I can't play.
I never learned to play the piano.
I never learned.
I said, I never learned.
Jules!
I can't. I can't play the piano.
I can't play.
No, I can't.
I can't play the piano.
See!
He can't play, but he can learn!
I can't play.
That's the problem with collecting.
I know that's got to be
a problem with collecting.
It's unheard of.
When you have lots of money...
It's unheard of to stab somebody
and take the money.
I never heard of it.
I don't want to know about it.
Not like in the old days.
When they know you got lots of money,
somebody wants the money.
We know that.
We know that. But who wants it?
It's not like it used to be!
A man can't walk in the street?
Never, never, never.
It's the money that's the problem.
- You're right.
- Somebody tries to kill--
Somebody tries to kill my boy
just for money.
- That's not good. That's not good!
- It's the money.
- It's not good.
- No good.
Money, money, money, that's it.
- That's the whole problem. Money.
- Money.
When I was a little younger
than you...
...I used to think
the world was made up...
...of big people and little people.
And that's the way
it would always stay.
And then I always wondered
why sinks were too high.
You had to climb up to wash your face.
Cupboards, too high.
The hole in the toilet was too big.
Nothing was made for us.
It's just a world of big people
and little people.
You never got any older...
...and nobody ever died.
Michael!
Michael.
I talked to the doctor.
Your father's gonna be all right.
- There, you got it?
- Yeah, yeah. Hold it.
What is it? What is it?
What could it be? It's so big.
- It's a holiday gift.
- What is it?
What is it? What is it?
It's a surprise. Wait and see.
The family circle voted and decided
to get you a holiday get-well gift.
For me?
Oh, you didn't! You didn't!
So, what is this?
A television.
That's television.
You can only watch for so long.
To me, it doesn't have
what a radio has.
Yes, it does.
Anybody want coffee?
Yes.
Nice picture, huh?
Beautiful picture.
Never happened.
In the old country, never heard of
stabbing someone to take their money.
Never happened.
You're right.
But the government would kill you.
Would take your money,
your property, whatever you had.
You know what you have to do?
Be like in Westerns.
Have a stagecoach
and the shotgun when you collect.
That's what they had in the Wild West,
because of outlaws.
Yeah, that's
