ANNOUNCER: Dodge Tynes coming on strong,

passing Vanderbilt's Wilson,
leaving Notre Dame behind.

They're all just spectators now.

He's breaking from the pack,

extending his lead with every step.

Into the final turn.

Nothing but daylight ahead of him.

Dodge Tynes wins the 400!

45.46 seconds,

a new University of Michigan record.

Put it in the books. Dodge Tynes.

The unrecruited walk-on
is nothing but a winner.

- Hey, you.
- Hey, you.

- You want some breakfast?
- Ooh.

Why, thank you.

An omelet, blueberries, toast, coffee.

Oh. Oh, God.

- No good?
- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.
- I thought eggs were okay.

- [RETCHING] It's the butter.
- Oh, boy.

- sh*t.
- [COUGHING]

I'm sorry, babe. I thought
you were cool with dairy.

[TOILET FLUSHES]

You okay?

[SIGHS] I am okay with dairy.

It's little Thumper that's
not okay with dairy.

Or chicken or anything green.

Thank you. That was sweet, though.

Thanks for the vomity kiss. That's nice.

Hey, do you think we can
get to the crib this week?

I got to get that box
out of the foyer already.

- Yes. I'll do the crib.
- And the loose brick.

Every time you step on it,
it just comes right off.

The crib, the loose
brick, everything else,

it's all gonna get done once
I'm through with these pitches.

I know. And you're gonna be great.

You're always great.

Hey. Don't hide things from me, okay?

I found the bills.

Repossession notices don't
go behind the vitamins.

Well, as your bookkeeper, I can
use whatever filing system I want.

Oh, yeah?

I wasn't hiding them from you,

I just want you to focus on your job.

I'm focused. Okay? And
I have some great leads.

And I'm gonna get the financing.

I got to go.

Hey.

$1,238.48.

That's what we had when we got married.

-$220,000: our net worth when
we bought this shell of a house

and renovated it from the ground up.

We built a life together.

We're gonna be fine.

Yeah, I know.

$220,000 in debt.

- The good old days, huh?
- [LAUGHS]

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I love you.

Mr. Pierce, I appreciate your time.

So, let me get right to it, all right?

Your building? It's a sinking ship.

All right? Matter of fact,
it's already underwater

and filled with holes.

But that doesn't mean
it can't be salvaged.

Distressed asset investment.

That's what put all this
marble under our feet.

- So...
- Exactly. And as you can see

- from the prospectus...
- I don't invest

in something based on drawings
about how something could be.

I only invest based on
what something is now.

So please, bring me back
the real numbers, all right?

Warts and all. And
give me your best shot.

All right? Bring me those numbers.

I got to go.

LOOGER: To the future Prince Tynes.

Lucky b*stard. Three times, all girls.

Even the dog is female.

And you find out yours
has a wang. Unfair.

Please. You love being
surrounded by Daddy's girls.

I do, but sometimes I just want someone

to watch football and fart with.

Oh, you won't do that with him, Janice?

Seriously, man, what a blessing.

You've got an heir to the throne.

I'll be right back.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, when you pee in my
alley, the bums get confused

because they already
marked their territory.

All right, man, what's the problem?

How am I supposed to
have an heir to the throne

when all I have to pass
on is a mountain of debt?

D, I know things are bad.

I put everything I had
in The Carrington.

Not to mention what
other people had, too.

Hey, I'm not some investor
whose money you lost.

I'm your best friend...

whose money you lost.

It's not funny, man. It's k*lling me.

I'm not thrilled about it, either.

I mean, I don't know if you noticed,

but this place is not
exactly a gold mine.

50K is a lot of money to me,

but I only want it back
when you can swing it.

Look at her. Van Buren Motors.

Back in the day, when
that sign was all lit up,

you could see it from
anywhere in the city.

You remember that summer,

when your old man had
us working the Paint Room?

Yeah, we brought Penny, uh, P-Penny

- what's her, what's her name?
- Penny Talesco.

- Penny Talesco.
- And Tammy Polnechek.

[CHUCKLES]

My dad catches us smoking

his Chesterfields in the
underground tunnels.

Yeah, I thought he was
gonna have a coronary.

Well, yeah.

If any paint fumes had
gotten in those tunnels,

we would've blown up half the factory.

- [LAUGHS]
- Stupid.

Yeah, but fun.

Look, man, better times are coming.

Just hang in there.

Now I got to go check on the kegs.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- I'm okay.

If I have to come back out here,

you got to name your baby Looger.

[ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC PLAYING]

No butter this time.
