make things
a lot easier.
Aram...
I went from my father's
house to yours.
I never had a job.
I really enjoyed
the feeling of earning
money today.
It was a really
good feeling.
Please don't be
angry with me.
Oh Millie, how could I
be angry with you?
Aram?
Aram?
Aram?
Millie...
there's something
I gotta tell you.
I don't have the guts
to do it to your face.
I didn't go bankrupt.
I gave my money away.
See, I thought
I could turn my son into a man
and I thought I could turn myself
into a kid again,
and I couldn't
do either.
It's a te...
no no, Shaggy,
go away right now, please.
It's a terrible thing
that I've done to you, Millie.
I stole your
whole life away.
I thought I could
give it back to you
anytime I wanted,
and I couldn't.
And I cannot
stay here
day after day
looking at the results
of my stupidity,
and I do not have
the right to forbid you
from taking
Michael's help.
God, let him...
let him look after you
the way that you deserve
to be looked after.
And...
you're a wonderful
woman...
and I'm not worthy
of you.
Goodbye.
Oh.
Boy, that's really
rough.
That's when you found me
on the overpass.
- I should have jumped.
- No, don't say that.
If you had, I wouldn't have
gotten to know you.
I wouldn't have
heard your story.
Anyway, I love
a good cry.
Hey, I got kind of
a confession to make.
When I told you
that I knew some of the guys
that you gave
that money to,
- that wasn't the whole truth.
- No?
- I was one of the guys.
- Huh?
I was afraid if I told
you you might put the touch on me.
You mean, there's
some of it left?
I got most of it.
In a bank.
What are you
saving it for?
For when times
get rough.
Look,
it kills me to part
with even a dime.
I just can't do it.
That's just the way I am, all right?
But maybe I could let you have
a couple of hundred?
That's very good of you.
Good?
I'm a goddamn saint!
But what the hell,
and I'll tell you what,
- I'll buy you dinner.
- Yeah?
Yeah, we'll go someplace
really great, huh?
- Like maybe Denny's?
- Yeah.
- Or you got another idea?
- Oh, there's a Chinese restaurant
that I would love
to go to. Yeah.
I haven't been there
in a long time.
Mmm, wow,
that was one of the best
meals I've ever had.
Yeah.
What's the matter?
You didn't like the food?
Oh hell yeah,
I liked the food.
I loved it.
The damn food was great.
On special occasions,
I used to come here with my wife
when I was feeling
very proud of myself, you know,
made a big sale,
closed a deal, whatever.
I always thought
that what made these dinners so great
was how good I felt
about myself.
- You see?
- No.
Well, I never thought
that I could enjoy anything
unless I really earned it.
Otherwise I'd feel guilty.
Ah.
So I figured if the food
tasted that good,
- it's because I earned it.
- Oh.
- That wasn't it at all.
- Oh.
This meal is being paid for
by a lovely lady
who lives in a cardboard box.
It's every bit as good.
The damn food
is just great.
Yeah well,
there was a lot
of good stuff in the world
before you came along,
and there'll be
a lot of good stuff after you've gone.
The trick is to grab some
while you're here.
You're a very wise
derelict.
Thank you.
- Okay.
- Where are you headed?
As far as that
bus is going.
You know, I would go with you,
but I really like LA.
- Yeah?
- I wouldn't feel at home
being homeless
anywhere else.
Bye, Billie.
Bus number 67 serving
the route to San Diego
- arriving at gate 9.
- Thanks for all your help.
Hey, wait a minute.
I got something for you.
Here's your watch.
Thank you.
Five, 10, 20.
- Thank you. Have a nice day.
- Thank you.
Hello, Millie.
I went by the apartment.
I didn't know
you'd moved.
Mrs. Villalobos told me
I'd find you here.
You look wonderful.
Oh, thank you.
How are you?
Eh? Fine.
You got my letters?
Yeah, from all over
the country.
But I'm not so sure
