- Sure. Why would you want to come to a no-man's-land like this and live like a barbarian for a week? - You wouldn't understand. - Try me. I have great memories of this country. I used to come here with my dad and I want the boys to have the same memories. Look around you, Roman, for God's sakes, this is beautiful country. Take a good look. I'll tell you what I see, if you want to know. Yeah, I'm curious. The underdeveloped resources of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, a consortium exploiting over a billion dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and a mining operation, a green belt between lakeside condos and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in waste - medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, syringes, fluid, blood, radioactive waste - all contained, sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. I ask you, what do you see? I just see... see trees. No one ever accused you of having a grand vision. While the ambitious scramble for wealth and power, the Chets of the world can lay back and casually stroll along life's path. - That's a compliment. - Oh, thanks. The rest of us will probably die of strokes long before you! I hope so. Wouldn't that be great? To see a bunch of people drop that you hate. That'd be something else. My goodness! My goodness me. I'm going to walk down life's path right now. Get the barbecue going, hot dogs... Wait a minute. No way. Wait a hot shit minute. Rule one - no relative of mine is eating hot dogs as long as he's sharing my cabin. Katie! Do you sense the presence of an alien life form? Now you mention it, I do sense something kind of strange. Oh, sh... Did I tell you about the futures market? - Probably. - We got a Deutschmarks contract, sat on it a week, sold it, took in a 300% profit. Well, easy money is money easily lost. I can't believe how old-fashioned your thinking is. - 300% profit, huh? - Sometimes 200% or 100%. Take the good with the bad. Yeah. Still, that's pretty good. Point of the matter is, you should have your piece too. Whoa! Hot! - How are those tails? - They're 28 bucks a pop. 28? Oh, my God. Chet and I haven't had lobster since our anniversary. - Oh, my God. A jumping lobster! - Save that one. - That'll be for me. - I'll make sure of that. The gourmet here wanted hot dogs. You know what they're made of? Lips and assholes. I'm old-fashioned. I like assholes. Ha! And I like lips! If I could market lips like those, I'd make another million! Lobster turned out all right, if I do say so myself. We should go into town and pick up a ski boat. What do you say? Sound good, guys? Uncle Roman will blow some coin on a kick-ass drag boat. We're renting a pontoon boat. Pontoon boat. What are you going to do with a pontoon boat? Retake Omaha Beach? Not at all. A pontoon boat, you go out and cruise the lake. You swim from them, fish from them, even bring the barbecue out. You have a great time. You tour the lake in comfort. You guys want to cruise in comfort or would you rather skim the waves in a jet boat? Jet boat! - Sorry, Dad. - Attaboy, Benny! All right, that's my man. Care to put it to a vote? We don't need a vote. You want a jet boat, get a jet boat. - Buck and I are getting a pontoon boat. - Sorry, Dad. Directly from the mouths of babes! Are you going to argue or enjoy yourselves? I'm enjoying, Chet's arguing! How about if the kids catch fireflies? We can play cards. Cara, Mara. You little dolls want to go outside and catch fireflies? Honey, they don't like bugs. What? All kids like bugs. They're cute. Especially fireflies. Their butts light up. I am a killer Monopoly player. Roman taught me. He's vicious. - Buddy Riecher died. - Oh, no. President of Energy Resources. - Honey. - Died in bed. - He was your mentor, wasn't he? - A man I admired. - I'm trying to read here! - Sorry. Sorry.
