another one was... - a physicist at M.I.T.? - Yes, he won the Nobel Prize. Naturally! All of our dads were these big shots. And Mom... was like... superwoman. But she didn't survive the delivery. And I was sent to an orphanage, while you were raised on a tropical paradise... by a scientist who you do research for, but who doesn't pay you, because you don't need money. Did I leave anything out? I think it's important we try to find our fathers. Oh, you mean the geniuses who contributed... to the sperm milk shake. Why are you being so immature about all this? Do you know how many times I've heard stories like this? It's every orphan's fantasy. My real mom and dad were rich... and beautiful. But there was a mix-up in the hospital... and I got switched with another baby. But one day, there's gonna be a knock at the door... and there they'll be... with open arms, crying, ''My darling. ''My treasure. We didn't know. How can we make it up to you?'' Let me tell you something for your own good, Julius. It's a crock. I liberated this from my file at the orphanage. Here it is. Read it and weep. ''Dear Sister Anderson, your request for orphan's benefits... - ''for Vincent Benedict has been denied. - Denied, yeah. ''According to our files, his mother did not die... - ''during birth. - She's not dead. ''We have a current address for her at... ''172 Canyon Glen Drive, Los Angeles. ''Vincent's case seems to be one of simple abandonment, and as such, he's ineligible for aid.'' That's right, Julius. She abandoned me. This letter was written 30 years ago. We were five years old. Our mother didn't die when we were born! You knew all this time where she was... and you never contacted her? I don't know about your mother, ''Miss Perfect, 1952,'' but my mother was a slut and if she's still alive, I hope she's in a lot of pain. She dumped me once. There is no way I'm gonna give her a chance to do it again. If they have lied to us about Mama for all these years, maybe they lied to her, too. We got to find her. - We have to check this address. - You do what you want. I got a cash-flow problem. - Hello. - Hey, Vince, we haven't forgotten about you. You better have our money tomorrow morning, or else. Or else what, you blimp? Oh, we're rollin'. Tests on the new low-temperature gaskets look great. - Mr. Garfield, there's a man-- - Not now. - Who are you? - I'm Webster. - It's okay! - Christ! You were never supposed to come here. We were never supposed to meet. - You're supposed to be-- - Driving that car down to Texas. I got my driving gloves. I got my driving glasses. I got my driving hat. But I got no car. The car was there. The merchandise was in the trunk. Your instructions were on the cassette. He wants more money. That's what this is about. - He wants more money. - Whoa, whoa. Let me explain. Sit down. I got a reputation to uphold. People put their trust in me. They know I always deliver the goods... and I always come back with the money. This is making me look very bad professionally. - This is bullshit. The car was there. - That's right. The parking attendant thought we were going to Hawaii. - The parking attendant? - He liked the car. We put on those loud shirts so we'd look like tourists. You know, I just realized that... in over 20 years of service, not one of my clients... has ever seen my face. I don't think that's a problem. Hey! No, please, please! - Hi. - Hi. - Oh, excuse me, could you tell me who lives here? - Grandpa, this man wants to talk to you. Thank you. Hello? Yes, can I help you? I'm terribly sorry to disturb your party. I know this may sound strange, but I'm looking for someone that lived here a long time ago. Mary Ann Benedict. She was my mother. You're Mary Ann's son? That looks just like you, Grandpa.
