. and a great set of pectorals, she's looking for a fall right on her ass. - Hubie, Hubie! - Let me tell you something. If you know what's good for you, don't you ever come back! You're not gonna find someone who has the relationship... with those animals that I do. Listen to the dogs. They love me! It all started when I was 15. That's when I invented the artificial cow heart. Oh, that was a big thing. A little before your time, but it made the newspapers. ABC, NBC, CBS, they picked up on it. But it's more or less a hobby for me, boys. Scoot over! Actually, today I decided... I've gone about as far as I can go in the animal health-care business. The reason that I'm not at work this afternoon... is because I was made an offer I cannot refuse. I sold. Whatcha gonna do with the cash? Invest it overseas, projects in Eastern Europe. I don't know. I've got everything. Jim, you just bought the animal hospital. How come you sold it so fast? Tax problem. And here's my accountant right now. Earl, take a bow. Ha-ha-ha! 20 minutes for lunch. Go buy another suit. He works for me. He's scouting some real estate for me, but the market's real tight. I like the new uniform, Lorraine. With the right shoes and handbag, that might be suitable for a cocktail party. So... question. When in the worid are you going to start serving sashimi? Maybe when I find out what it is. You've never heard of sashimi? You've got to be kidding. It's this special Japanese fish you eat raw. A little butter sauce, and you're ready to go to heaven. I'd hire you in a minute if I hadn't already fired you so many times. Did you ever think of leaving town? Thousands of people over in St. Louis... got no idea how full of shit you are. You've been alive for 21 years, my friend. Plenty of time for most people... to find a place for themselves. Well, I'm not like everybody else. - You know what I'm saying? - Yeah, that's for sure. How about if I... I work for you for free? No. I'm afraid not, Jimmy. Think about St. Louis. - Hey, Josie. - Hi. - Fill her up? - Fill her up. How you doin'? You got fired again, didn't you? Didn't you? Who told you that? - Hubie Marshall called me at work. - He called you at work? That's it, I'm gonna... What'd he say? He said he fired ya! He said that? And you believed him? Damn straight I do! With all due respect, Dad, you're Mr. Gullible. Sometimes. The truth of the matter is, Dad, I resigned. - I'll tell you something else. - Shut up, Jimmy! I had no idea the job was gonna be a hire/fire situation. Luther Betenhauser's boy is doing better. - What's wrong with him? - Fell off his grandfather's silo. - He's got brain damage. - He does not. Hoover Fey says his tongue's gonna hang out his mouth the rest of his life. And when he dies, at the funeral they're gonna put a mask on him. Do I have to listen to this while I'm eating? Let's talk about something else. Josie McClellan moved to New York. She did not. I saw her today. I don't know how you could. I heard she got tired of taking care of her father, and she told him to jump in a lake, and left to get her M.B.A. In high-fashion design... at the University of New York City. I just saw her at the gas station in living color. We had a cup of java together. I'm gonna take Lou Selby's word over yours any day. Lou Selby's a drunk. For a guy who's just lost his umpteenth job, you sure are handy with the tongue sword. - You got canned again? - Well, he didn't get canned. He got fired. That's gotta be a record. Not only are you an obnoxious slug, but you're a freeloading obnoxious slug. You should talk. In your mid-forties, still living at home. I'm twenty-four, and I pay rent. - So do I. - You did pay rent. Dad, you mean you're cutting my rent? Hell, no! You're not paying rent because you don't have a job or any money.
