(peaceful orchestral music) (rooster crows) (man mumbles in Italian) (man speaks Italian) - Okay. (sings in Italian) (rooster crows) Hey. Bravo. Roberto. Where are we going? (woman speaks Italian) (woman speaks Italian) (Nino speaks Italian) (chatter in Italian) (heavy rock music) (water sprays) - Perfect. - What're you doing?
- Don't worry about it. - [Boy] You said we were just gonna TP. This is not a good idea. (exhaust backfires) (Nino speaks Italian) (electric guitar solo) (horn honks) (man groans) - Dad, since it's a half-day
today, could we get a puppy? - No, Gina, we cannot get a puppy. Bobby, not now, get ready for
school, and don't slam the-- (door slams)
Doors. (electric guitar solo) In 20 years, you'd think I'd
learn to tie a stupid tie. - Do you plan on being
in a bad mood every day? - I don't think I'm gonna
be getting this promotion. Bobby, enough already! - You know what you need, don't you? - I need a promotion, that's what I need. - A vacation, I was just
reading in this magazine, about this cabin we
could rent this summer. - Is that all he's gonna do
is play the stupid guitar? - Come on, Robert, can't you
be a little more supportive? Moving here hasn't
exactly been easy on him. I think turning to his
music has been a good thing. - [Robert] Oh, yeah? Wait until he wants to pierce
something other than his ear. - That has nothing to do with music. Come on, it's just what
kids are doing today. - What else are they doing today? Well have you seen these kids he's been hanging around with lately? (electric guitar music) - Hey, I know you had
somethin' to do with this! Hey, I'm talkin' to you! Now this is the last time
I'm tellin' you punks! The next time I see you on my
lawn, I'm callin' the cops! You don't believe me, just try me! I don't need to take this!
(doorbell rings) I moved here to get away
from punks like you! - [Gina] Stupid, your friends are here! - You're still there? Yeah, well, I thought we had
three or four more weeks. Hi, how are you? Well... (groans) Well, I don't know for sure, but I guess I could change that meeting. I'm gonna have to check my calendar. You know, Stuart, I really
had this planned for a month. - Hey.
- Okay, hold on. - Did you remember to ask your dad if we could practice here? - No, he got home too late last night. - Ask him now. - Dad? - Yeah.
- I just got a quick question. - Bobby, I can't, I'm busy right now. Yeah, go ahead. No, I'm gonna look it up, wait, hold on. Bobby, don't forget to mow the
lawn when you get back home. Do you hear me? Yeah, Stuart, let me try and find a slot. What was that date again, Stuart? Aw, Gina, not another dog. - Hey, Micelli, I need to talk to you. - Here we go, alright. Stuart, I'm gonna have to call you back. I'll see you at the meeting. Bye bye. So, Jerry, it looks like
they nailed you pretty good. - Yeah, your kid and those
punks he hangs out with. - Are you saying that
Bobby was involved in this? - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. - [Robert] My son wouldn't
do something like this. - Hey, I moved here to get
away from punks like that, just like you, so why do you let your kid
hang out with 'em anyway? - Look, I'm not too happy
about it either, Jerry, and I've been meaning to
talk to Bobby about it, but I just haven't had a lot of time. - Well, when you find time to talk to him, you might talk to him about this, too. - Bobby doesn't smoke. - [Jerry] Well, those
druggies he hangs out with do, and that's probably not all they're doing. - Look, Jerry, I told you
I'll talk to him, okay? - Yeah, you do that. Oh, and just so you know,
the next time I find one of these in my yard,
that's where it's going. - Hey, what are we gonna
do if your old man says we can't practice at your house? - I don't know. - We'd better find a place
'cause the battle's like two weeks away and my old
man says we've gotta be out. (friend chuckles) - Did you guys see that? Now that was art. (chuckles) Might be our best TP yet. - Yeah, well I just hope no one saw us. - That guy's a moron.
- Exactly, he's a total moron. If he's so worried about his stupid lawn, why didn't he just plant AstroTurf? - You don't plant AstroTurf, you lay it. You know, it's like carpeting? You lay it. Sometimes, you scare me. - Fine, lay it, plant it, whatever. He's still a moron. - It just doesn't make sense. I mean, you water it, you fertilize it. Why, just so you can mow it again? Whose idea was this? - Probably some nutcase who
wanted to torture his kids. That's who. - Sounds like my old man.
- You mean everyone's old man. (melancholic orchestral music) (phone rings) - Hello. Oh hi, honey, what's up? - I remember what it was
I wanted to tell you. I put some mail in your planner. I found it in Gina's
room, she's did it again. You know how she always has
to look at the catalogs first. Anyway, I didn't get a
chance to look at it. I hope it wasn't anything important. - No, that's okay, it's
probably just junk mail anyway. - Are you almost there?
- No, traffic is terrible. I'll be lucky if I even make my flight. - [Wife] Well, call me if you miss it. - Okay. Have a good afternoon, I'll
call you when I land, bye bye. (upbeat organ music) - America. (speaks Italian) (speaks Italian) You are a beautiful flag, don't you? (toilet flushes) "I am, you are." Buongiorno. - [PA System] Flight 7323
to Toronto now boarding. Flight 7323 to Toronto now boarding. (upbeat organ music) - Hello. - [PA System] Security
to women's restroom. Second floor international. Security to women's restroom.
- Hello. - Second floor international.
- Buongiorno. (electric guitar music)
(school bell rings) - Why are you wastin' your time? - What? - Those girls are juniors. We're just fish, you know,
like carp, bottom-feeders. That means we might as
well be dead because as far as they're concerned,
we don't even exist. - Carp? I like it. Why don't we call the band, Carp? (Bobby chuckles) What? - We heard you fish
signed up for the battle. - Yeah, what about it?
- Well, you see, piss-mouth. The battle is usually for upper-classmen. We don't think you fish
should participate. We thought you'd understand,
just because you carry that thing around all the
time doesn't make you good. (chuckles) - Pathetic.
(boys laugh) - Centered dickheads. - You know what, Joey? You're right. Carp's a good name. - Really? - Yeah. It's a good name. - Thank you, Bill and Nancy, for a very comprehensive report. That pretty well brings us
to the end of the agenda, unless someone has more to offer? In that case, what remains is to finalize the scheduling of the meeting. - Traffic was a killer
and they spotted some nut in the ladies room at the airport. Had to go through a bunch of
security, did I miss much? - Pretty much the whole meeting. - Can we finish up? - [Stuart] Of course, sorry. - Now, I know we had talked
about meeting in three weeks, but due to scheduling conflicts, we have to move it up even sooner, to a week from this coming Monday. - You gotta be kidding me. (upbeat organ music) - Bob? Is there a problem? - Uh, no. No problem. - [Gina] Mom, can we
stop in the pet store? - [Mother] Gina, you know
what your father said. - But we can just look.
- Gina. - Please, Mom, we can just look. - The answer is no and I'm
not gonna say it again. Gina, I am not gonna
say it again, let's go. - Look at you, you're just so cute. (phone rings)
- Come on, Gina. I got a million things to do.
(phone rings) Hello?
- Marie? - Oh hi, honey, it's your father. - Well, ask him, ask him. - Gina wants to know
if she can have a dog. - No.
- No. - Why not? - Marie, my uncle Nino is here. - What? - My uncle Nino is at the
airport, you have to pick him up. - Your uncle who is where?
- My father's brother. The one that lives in Italy,
he landed this morning. - Well, a little notice
might've been nice. - He sent us a letter three weeks ago. It was in the mail you gave me. You can thank your daughter for that. - Ow, what was that for? - Well, I'll get there as soon as I can. I've gotta drop Gina
off at a friend's first. - "You've gotta be kidding me?" Nice way to end a meeting. - Look, I'll call the airport, see if I can get him a message. - Robert, what does he look like? - I don't know, I haven't
seen him since I was a kid. - Great! Okay. - Bye.
- Bye. Oh, criminy. Here. - What are you doing? - Here, have a dog.
- Mom, what're you doing? - Come on, honey, we gotta hurry. - Where are we going?
- To the airport. - Okay, so now what's
the rush all of a sudden? How am I supposed to get all of this done? - Will you calm down? Look, I think it's just
part of the exercise. They wanna see how we
operate under pressure. Hey, I'll call ya. Now look, Bob. You know how big this is.
- Of course I do. - Well, then that's why
we're putting you in charge. - Well you could've told me
that before we went inside! - I'm telling you now! Look, if you nail this,
which I know you will, the promotion is yours. - You're serious?
- Of course I'm serious. The board met last night. Stock, executive compensation package, even a parking space in the building. - I don't know what to say.
(Stuart chuckles) - Well, just say you'll nail it. - Don't worry, you can count on me. Nothing will get in my way. - Good day, sir. - Hi, how you doin'? - I am from Italian, so
happy in America first time. - First time, really?
(Nino speaks Italian) - [Nino] (chuckles) I like. - Good, good. - You want, I have
Italian salami, you want? And bread. (speaks Italian) - No, thanks. No, thank you, that's okay. (muffled PA system chatter) - Mr. Micelli? I'm Marie Micelli, are you Nino Micelli? (chuckles) I am so sorry I'm late,
we misplaced your letter. Oh, that's nice.
(Nino speaks Italian) Do you speak English? - English. (speaks Italian)
(Marie chuckles) - Good, good, good. (Nino speaks Italian)
Good, good. Well, shall we go? - Yes, we go, we go, we go. (lively rock music) - Hey.
- Crap. - Sorry about the mess. Didn't have a chance to clean up. (clock chimes) (Nino speaks Italian) I hope this is okay. - Okay. Okay. (speaks Italian)
(Marie chuckles) Okay, okay. (speaks Italian) - So, just make yourself
comfortable and, um, well, if you need anything,
you let me know, okay? (Nino speaks Italian) You know the rules, how many
times do I have to tell you? No friends in the house
when we're not at home. - [Bobby] Well, we weren't in the house, we were in the garage.
- Don't be smart. Besides, who gave you permission
to take over the garage? - [Bobby] What was I supposed
to do? No one's ever here. - [Marie] Would you keep your
voice down? We have company. - [Bobby] Where are supposed to practice? - [Marie] I don't know. We will have to discuss
it with your father. Until then, would you try and be pleasant, and come out and say
hello to your uncle Nino. - [Bobby] I hate this place! (melancholic orchestral music) - Ciao, ciao, Maria. - Here we are.
- Ah, we're eating, eh? - Yes.
- Uh-huh. - I hope this okay, I used to
cook more, but now, well... Bobby, come and eat! - [Bobby] I'm not hungry! - [Nino] Bobby, where he? - Oh, he's coming. (Nino speaks Italian) - The little one.
- Oh, Gina? - Gina, Gina.
- Gina. Oh, Gina's at her friend Kate's house. She's over there all the time. Seems like we never sit down
as a family much anymore. - Roberto, he don't?
- Robert? Oh, uh, Robert's traveling. Always traveling. - Oh, I forget the wine.
- Wine, oh no, of course! Wine, no, I have wine. I know I have some. - Wine, of course, everyone
has wine with dinner. There we go. (Nino speaks Italian) I found it in the cupboard,
somebody gave it to us. Here we go. (Nino speaks Italian and laughs) It's wine, yes. (chuckles) (Nino speaks Italian and laughs) (laughs) There we go. (Nino speaks Italian)
Cheers. (Nino speaks Italian) - [Nino] You like wine, eh? - Oh, yes, I love wine. - I bring wine from Italy, I bring. (melancholic music) (Marie sighs) Abraham Lincoln, the wine, eh? I make. - You made this?
- I make. (speaks Italian) - Oh, I'll get fresh glasses. (Nino speaks Italian) (Nino speaks Italian) (Marie chuckles) (both chuckle) (Nino speaks Italian) - [Nino] Ah, huh? - Mm. (Nino speaks Italian) Cheers. - [Nino] You like, eh? - I like it. Well... (chuckles) Here. Oops. (chuckles) (Nino chuckles) (Nino speaks Italian) (melancholic orchestral music) (Nino chuckles) (high-pitched string notes) (high-pitched string notes) (birds tweet) (Nino laughs) - Buongiorno! (chuckles) (lively string music) - Honey? Somebody's playing music. - Yeah?
- I know it's not Bobby. Will you go see?
(dogs howl and bark) - Uncle Nino. Roberto. - Roberto? (speaks Italian) You... You are big like your father! Oh, Roberto!
(upbeat organ music) - (groans) Yes, oh, it's
nice to see you too. - I'm so sorry, I fall to
sleep, I don't wait for you. - No, no problem, no problem,
why don't we go inside? Come on, come on.
(Nino speaks Italian) (Nino speaks Italian) - [Nino] Your children,
where they are being? - Oh, I'm sure they're
getting ready for school. They'll be down in a minute. - Here you go.
- Thank you. (Nino speaks Italian) - Mom, can you braid my hair?
- In a minute. - Roberto. I must talk to you. - Sure, about what?
(electric guitar music) - Musica? (doorbell rings) - Yeah, he's been driving me crazy. Hey, Bobby, that's enough already! Come on down and say hello to your uncle! - [Gina] Butt-head, your friends are here! - (sighs) It isn't much. I just haven't had a chance
to get to the store yet. (Nino speaks Italian) - Honey, maybe Uncle Nino would
like to have a cappuccino? - We don't have cappuccino.
- Mom, please. - Right.
(Nino speaks Italian) Oh, I know, that's fine. So Uncle Nino, how long you
think you'll be staying with us? Whoa, where do you think you're goin'? - School, where else? - [Robert] First, say hello to your uncle. - Hello. - Uncle Nino, this is Bobby. - This is your grandfather's brother. - Great. (melancholic orchestral music) - Uncle Nino, please
excuse me for a minute. Hey, what's with the attitude? You know I don't care for the
way you've been acting lately. Didn't I ask you to
mow the lawn yesterday? - [Bobby] Yeah, I forgot. - [Robert] Like you forgot to
ask me about using the garage. - What was I supposed
to do? No one was here. - That doesn't mean you
can do what you want. Now, you didn't do as you were asked, and you didn't listen to your
mother so now you're grounded. - That sucks, I gotta practice! - Hey, who do you think you're talking to? And no, you don't need to
practice, you need to study. I've checked your progress reports, and Cs and Ds aren't gonna cut it. It seems your grades have been slipping ever since you've been
hanging out with these guys. - I've been hanging out with
them ever since we moved here. - Yeah, well that doesn't
mean I have to like them. Are you smoking?
- No, I don't smoke. - Are you taking drugs?
- No. - Are they?
- Not that I know of. - Did you have anything to do with that TP job across the street? - No. What? I said no.
(Robert sighs) - Alright, look, today when you get home, the lawn gets mowed and you
hit the books, you understand? - Yeah. - And when I get home tonight, we'll talk about this garage thing. (Bobby chuckles) - [Bobby] It's not a
garage thing, it's a band. (Robert sighs) - I'm sorry, Uncle Nino, I-- - I, I should not come. - Oh, no no no no, no no.
- I, I go away, eh? - No, Bobby and I,
we're just bumping heads on a couple of things, it's nothing. Now, what is it you wanted to talk about? - I am...
(melancholic orchestral music) How you say... (speaks Italian) - The cemetery?
- Ah-hah. (speaks Italian) We go?
- Oh sure, we can go sometime. - This day?
- Today? Oh, no, I can't today,
I have to go to work. But, well maybe Marie can take you. - Roberto. I want go with you. - Well sure, we can go
sometime, just know I'm gonna be very busy with work for
the next couple of weeks. - Nino strong, I help you at work, eh? - (chuckles) No, Uncle Nino, that's okay. But, um, how long did you
say you were gonna be here? - [Band Member] So what's
he so pissed about? - My grades, us using the garage. - That sucks.
- Yeah, totally sucks. And now we've got some crazy old guy who talks to flowers staying with us. - Hey maybe if I beg we can
move the stuff back to my house. - He's grounded, you crap for brains. That means he can't practice anywhere. Get it? Sometimes... You scare me. - Why do you have to smoke anyway? - What's his problem?
- I don't know. - I'll just be a few minutes. I just gotta pick a few
things up for dinner tonight, and, uh, we'll be... Uncle Nino? (jaunty orchestral music) (Nino speaks Italian) (Nino speaks Italian) - No. (speaks Italian) - Excuse me, sir? Excuse me, you have to pay first! You have to pay first,
you can't just eat here. - Yeah, yeah, that's nice
but you have to pay first. It's not a salad bar. - You put it in a bag, you
take it up front, you pay. Then you can eat. - [Grocer] No, come on,
I've been watching you. (Nino speaks Italian) (Nino shouts in Italian) - [Grocer] You owe me for this! - [Grocer] Take him outta here, thank you. (jaunty orchestral music) - Hello! I have been noticing you sitting here, and I just had to come
over and introduce myself. I'm Bonnie Smith, I live down the street. I'm president of the Home
Owners Association, the garden club, and the vice-president
sale rep for Joffra Cosmetics but then I guess that's not
really important, and you are? - Oh, I am (clears throat), I'm Nino. Nino, Nino Micelli, I'm from Italian. - Oh. Oh, you must be a relative of Robert's. Yeah, well, how nice. Is Marie at home? I came by to see if they wanna be a part of the Garden Walk this year. Well, probably not, but since I am the president,
I have to ask. (chuckles) - Do you know Abraham Lincoln? - Oh, what I could've done
with his brows. (chuckles) Oh, well anyway, is Marie at home? Marie, is she? - Maria?
- Yes. - She is not in casa today.
- Oh, darn, darn! I did wanna see if she
needed any base, blush, shadow, gloss or liner. Oh, I can check back tomorrow. - Oh, oh! (speaks Italian) A little vino, eh? - Oh, for me?
- I brought this from Italy. (speaks Italian) This is Abraham Lincoln, very good wine. - Oh, no, no, please. I have to make an emergency
delivery to Mrs. Johnson. (Nino speaks Italian) - [Nino] It's no good. You can't eat. Why you do? - 'Cause I have to. - You no like, eh? - (chuckles) No. (thud) It sucks. (Nino speaks Italian) - Sucks! (chuckles)
(warm orchestral music) - Look, two days from now doesn't help me. I need it tomorrow. No, I don't know how you're gonna do it, but I've got problems of
my own, just get it done! - (speaks Italian) Ah, spaghetti. - Bobby, Gina, now! (phone rings) Excuse me. (Nino speaks Italian) (phone rings) Hello. Oh hi, hon. Well, how late? Yeah. Okay. I'll try and stay awake. Bye. Bobby, Gina, it's getting cold! - Pour the vino. - [Marie] Thank you. - Ciao, ciao, Gina. Ciao, Bobby. - Why are we eating in
here? We never eat in here. - Can I go watch my show? I have to see America's Funniest Animals. - Can I eat in my room?
- We are eating right here. - Oh, man.
- (sighs) This house blows. - Nice job.
- Shut up. - You shut up.
- You're such an idiot. - You're such a... (groans) (Nino speaks Italian) I'm gonna go watch my show. (melancholic orchestral music) (Nino speaks Italian) (TV audience laughs) - [TV Host] Don't you
love it when your dog takes your favorite spot on the couch? In these next clips,
these dogs have their day. (TV audience laughs) (Nino chuckles) (Gina laughs) - You like... (speaks Italian) - Dogs?
- Dogs. - I want to adopt one.
- Eh? - I saw her in the pet store,
she's so cute. (chuckles) Then she needs a family. - Family. (chuckles) Important. Family, yes, yes. (chuckles) (phone rings)
(lively string music) (phone rings)
(dogs bark and howl) - Yeah? - [Jerry] Who's the nut
waking me up with the violin? - Oh, uh, yeah, I apologize, Jerry. - Is he crazy or what?
- No, no, he's not crazy. I'll, yeah, I'll talk to him.
- I'll call the cops, I will! - At least I don't think he's crazy. (dogs bark)
(bright string music) (melancholic orchestral music)
(girls laugh) - I'm supposed to see him
after school today, hi! - Feeding schedule. Call us any time if you have any problems. Bring him back if you'd like,
we'd love to see him again. (upbeat string music) (electric guitar solo) (upbeat string music) (electric guitar solo) (upbeat string music) (electric guitar solo) (upbeat string music) - Huh, huh! (laughs) - You are really good.
(Nino chuckles) - You too. - Thank you. - Beautiful, you love music, eh? - Oh, I love music. You love music? - Oh. So much, so much. So many beautiful photograph. (Bobby chuckles)
In your room. (chuckles) Where is Abraham Lincoln? - Oh, um, I don't have him. I got an American flag. - (laughs) Yes, yes. (speaks Italian) Yes. (speaks Italian)
(Bobby chuckles) Ah. This is your girlfriend, eh?
(Bobby laughs) - I wish. - You don't give him flower, this one? - No, I didn't give her any flowers. - Oh, you must! Women love the flowers. - Thanks, I'll remember that. (warm orchestral music) (doorbell rings) - Oh hi, Bonnie, what's up?
- You didn't notice? - Notice what?
- The vandalism. - Vandalism, where? - At the entrance, someone
cut down all the flowers. - [Marie] Really? - I called the police and filed a report. - The police? - Oh, yeah, first Jerry's house, now this. Oh, they say they're gonna look into it, maybe patrol a little more, but who knows? Anyhoo, I just came by to
make sure everyone knows so we can all keep an eye out. - Well, thank you, I will. - Oh and since I'm here, can
I interest you in any base, blush, shadow, gloss or liner?
- No thanks, Bonnie. - I can check back tomorrow.
- Great. (sighs) Hi. - [Robert] Hi. How was your day? - Oh, okay. Uncle Nino gave me flowers. - He did? Oh, that's nice.
- Yeah. Except he took 'em from the
entrance to the subdivision, and Bonnie filed a police report. - Maybe she should think
about getting a life. - Yeah, she should. So, how was your day? - Crazy, I don't know how I'm
gonna get through all of this. And on top of it, Stuart tells me that he
has to go up to Toronto the weekend before the
presentation which means we have to schlep everything up to Toronto
for a final run-through. (Marie sighs) - You know, if this is
the way it's gonna be, maybe you don't want that promotion. - What? Of course we want the promotion. It's what I've been working so hard for. You know, maybe you can
come up to Toronto with me. Run-through won't take
very long and we can spend some time together. - I'd love to.
(melancholic orchestral music) I'd have to switch with someone at work. And who's gonna watch the kids? - We'll get a sitter. - What about Uncle Nino? - Oh yeah, I forgot about Uncle Nino. What are we supposed to do with him? - We? I don't know, Robert. He's your uncle. - Now, we haven't compiled
all of the data yet, but what we do have is
already enough to show them that if they follow our plan
over at least the next-- - Buongiorno, buongiorno.
(upbeat organ music) It is the hour of lunch,
so I have brought-- - Call security, Gordon.
- No no no, Stuart, don't. This is my uncle Nino, he's
visiting us from Italy. - And you brought him here? - Well, I figured it was Saturday. No, I know you did, thank you, thank you. - It's Saturday but we've got
five hours or work to do here. - I'm gonna come back.
- I am the uncle of him. - Uncle Nino, we're gonna go
now, we're gonna eat later. That's okay, thank you, thank you, yeah. Come on, here we go, here
we go, let's go, Uncle Nino. - Will you make it fast?
- Yes, I'll be back. - I don't believe this.
- This way, Uncle Nino. - [Marie] Well, thanks
again, and have a great day. - [Woman] Thank you. - I hope he likes the new look. - So do I, considering
he's paying for all of it. (Marie chuckles) I figure if he's gonna work
all the time and I'm not gonna see him that I might as well
get to spend some of his money. - Sounds good to me. - Have a good day.
- You too, thanks again. Wow. Is that the way it's supposed to be? Men just work, we never get to see them? We're just supposed to
spend our lives consuming? - Hey, I didn't make up the rules. - Sometimes I wish things were different. (co-worker chuckles) - Hey, is everything
alright with you and Robert? - (sighs) Robert really
wants this promotion. I'm just afraid he's gonna be gone more and working longer hours. Sometimes I wish we had a normal life. Nine to five, dinner together. Know what I mean? - Oh yes, I know what
you mean, but good luck trying to get a man to
understand what you mean. (chuckles) - [Bobby] He's not that old. Come on, guys, what do ya think? - [Joey] I don't know. - Hey, did your parents
put you up to this? - What are you talking about?
- You know. "We'll let you practice here, "as long as you watch
crazy Uncle Nino." (laughs) - He's not crazy, he's just different. My parents don't even know about it. I mean, if my dad finds out, I'm screwed. I'm tellin' you guys, you gotta
hear him, he is great, and this melody works perfect with
what we've been working on. I mean, besides, it's different. I mean, how many bands do
you know with old people? - I don't know any.
- (chuckles) Exactly. And maybe there's a reason for that. "Let's give it up for
Grandpa Micelli on the bass!" (groans)
(Joey laughs) - I'm outta here. - Alright, alright, we'll listen to him! But we're not promising anything. Hey. Let's hit the monkey bars. (upbeat string music) (string and guitar music) - [Joey] That was great. (Nino laughs)
- I told you! What did you think? What?
(upbeat string music) - I don't know if it's cool. What if people don't like it? What if we get laughed off the stage? - And what if they like
it, what if we win? - What've we got to lose? We're just bottom-feeders, remember? Fish. - I always thought you
were the risk taker. - Let's do it. Uncle Nino, we all talked and, um, we want you to play with us.
(warm orchestral music) - Nino? No. - Oh, come on, it'll be great!
- Yeah, you were awesome. - [Bobby] Yeah, you're awesome,
it means you're really good. - I am awesome?
- Yeah, you should, uh... Play with us. - I am awesome. I do. (chuckles) - Excellent. - Hey. No smoke, eh? I have friend. He such a good violin player. He die from the smoke. Abraham Lincoln never smoke. Smoke no good. (speaks Italian) No smoke. - It's cool. - [Nino] Awesome. (laughs) - All I'm saying is it
wasn't Uncle Nino's fault. Just because Stuart got all
upset doesn't mean you have to. - And all I'm trying to say
is he should've known better. - And why would he know better? He's a ferryboat driver from Italy! How many board meetings
do you think he's been in? Listen, I know you're under
a lot of pressure right now, but this is the first time in weeks that we're all gonna sit down
and have dinner together, so can we just forget about
work and try and enjoy it? Thank you. (group sings in Italian) (Nino laughs) (Nino speaks Italian) - Roberto, Maria.
- Hey. - What's goin' on? - Uncle Nino's teaching
us how to make pizza. - That's nice. - What's that? - (chuckles) Dad, that's a dog. - [Robert] I know what
it is, but whose is it? - [Gina] She's mine, her name's Lucky. - Don't look at me.
- Uncle Nino gave her to me. - I don't care who gave it
to you, it's going back. Uncle Nino, you just can't
be buying dogs for people. - You can't take her back, Dad. - Oh, yeah? Watch me. - I hate you! I hate you! (sobs) (Nino sighs)
(melancholic orchestral music) - Let's go. (Nino speaks Italian) - Uncle Nino? Can I come in? - Maria. - Uncle Nino. I just wanted to say that, well, it was really nice of
you to get that dog for Gina. - [Nino] Maria. - It was. - (sighs) Roberto. So angry. - Oh, Robert's just, oh, I don't know. He just doesn't want a dog right now. He thinks it's gonna dig up the
yard and chew on everything. He's not upset with you. He's under a lot of
pressure right now at work. I hope you understand. - This a photograph. - [Marie] Who's this? - Roberto. Dianna. - That's Robert?
(Nino laughs) He so happy. All day long in the garden. Italy. So happy in the garden. And Dianna. - Oh, she's fine, I think. We don't see her very often. She and Robert aren't very close. After their parents died, they
moved in with their aunt and since Robert was older, he
felt responsible for her. The more he tried to be a
father, the more they fought. I don't know, things
just never got better. - Maria. Okay? - I'm fine. It would be nice to see
him this happy again. (sighs) (Nino chuckles) (Lucky whines) (Nino sighs)
(melancholic orchestral music) (electric guitar music) - Yeah, this is Robert, Ellen. Could you do me a favor
on your way in and, uh, pick up those charts on 22? Thanks. - [Gina] Let's go a walk, come on. Come on, Lucky. (Nino screams) (cat yowls) (heavy rock music) - Buongiorno! Misters, hello! Hello, misters! - [Bobby] Hey, Dad? - I'm late! - I know, I just was wondering if you and Mom were coming to the battle. - I'll try, I'll really try, I gotta go. (Nino speaks Italian) - Okay, so all the phone numbers
are on the counter, okay? - Okay. - Don't open the door for any strangers. - [Bobby] (chuckles) We'll be fine. - You sure you're gonna be okay? - [Bobby] Love you, have
a great time in Toronto. - [Marie] We will. (Nino speaks Italian) - Hey, thanks for watching the kids. Do you think this was a good idea? - Oh, I think they'll be okay.
- I hope so. - Worst that can happen is
he'll buy Gina another dog. Just kidding. (giggles) He did ask if he could plant a garden. - Yeah, he asked me too. I said it was okay. Besides, it'll keep him busy. - Yeah. (rototiller churns)
(dogs bark) (upbeat organ music) - Uncle Nino! Uncle Nino! What are you doing? What are you doing?
(Nino chuckles) - [Nino] Ah, you come to help me. Make beautiful garden, eh? - Who? Who is planting garden? - You, me, we are planting whole garden. - My dad is gonna freak. - I spoke to your papa, I speak on him, and he say okay to do it! Make!
- He did? - He did! - My dad said that this was okay? - Your dad.
- All of this? My dad? - Oh, my gosh. - Ciao, Gina! - Where did you get this thing? - Nino got from this person here. They bring, this is... Eh? - I won't have to mow the grass anymore. - Grass, spitoie, you can't eat! - Hey.
- Hey, ciao, boys. - (chuckles) Ciao, what is goin' on? - We're planting a garden.
- You wanna help? - Sure.
- I'm gonna go find Lucky. - [Band Member] Your old
man's cool with this? - Apparently, that's what Uncle Nino said. - And you're sure he's not crazy? - I'm pretty sure. - Did you just eat a cigarette? - Oh. (chuckles) Gum. I'm quitting. No smoke. - Bravo. No smoke. (speaks Italian) - Aren't you supposed
to take the wrapper off? - It's cool. - You guys gonna help or what? - As long as I get to drive that thing. (lively rock music) (boys gasp) - I'm gonna get the hose.
- No, don't! (yelps) (yelps and laughs) - You are so dead.
(Gina screams) - [Band Member] Oh, that's
cold, oh, that's freezing. (phone rings) (phone rings) - Hello. Oh, hi. No, I thought maybe you
were the kids, what's up? Well, how late? Yeah. Okay. Well, I'll just take
my time getting ready. Love you too. Bye. (sighs) - And so after I go through the
chart on growth expectations Roger will take them through the summary. Any questions? Great, well then let's call it a night. And I wanna thank everyone
for all the hard work. - Now, hold on, hold on. Sorry, folks. One more presentation. John? Ready when you are. - Could I see you outside for a second? - Okay, um, let's take five minutes. (background TV chatter) What's up?
- Who in the hell is John? - Ah, I've been meaning to tell you. His name is John Cummings and
we hired him two days ago. - We did? And when was
somebody gonna tell me this? - I'm telling you right now.
(Robert sighs) Listen to me, Bob, nobody's
supposed to know this, but John has a close
friend in National Life, so with him on the team
and a strong presentation, this is practically a done deal. - I thought that I was in charge. - I thought you could use a
little help and John thought-- - I don't care what John thought. We don't need another
presentation, remember? They wanted us to keep it short. - I suggest we listen
to what John has to say. That's what the board decided.
- Oh, really? - He was a good move. He's good for the company, Bob, and that means he's good for us. (background TV chatter) (melancholic piano music) (muffled heavy rock music) (Nino speaks Italian) - Mom, hey, Dad. - I gotta go.
- Me too. - [Robert] What the
hell were you thinking? - Can you keep your voice down? - No, I can't keep my voice down. - Uncle Nino said it was okay. - Don't blame this all on Uncle Nino! - Roberto. - I'm not blaming it on Uncle Nino. He told me it was okay
with you to plant a garden. - A garden, sure, but this
is more like a damn farm! Do you have any idea what
it cost to put in that lawn? Well, do you? - No, and I don't care. - [Robert] No, you don't
care and that's the problem. You don't care about anything. - I don't care about anything? What do you care about? What do you care about, huh? What do you care about, work? - Hey, what do you think
pays for all of this? - I didn't ask for this! I didn't want a bigger house,
I didn't even wanna move! You think it's easy being the new kid? You think it's easy making friends? Forget it! - Look. Uncle Nino, I'm at the end of my rope. What do you want from me? (somber orchestral music) - Oh, Roberto. Roberto. You my only brother. I don't love you enough. I bad man. I don't come for you, Roberto. I never meet Julia. All my life, my heart. I never forget you. - It's okay, Uncle Nino. - I miss him a lot. I feel bad, all my life. I don't come. I don't come for the funeral. I don't come, I am a bad man. - No.
- I don't come for you. And Dianna, but I still, I have in my heart, the joy. For you and your family. (Nino speaks Italian)
(Robert speaks Italian) I got to tell you why I don't come. I go to jail. Very bad man. Oh, Roberto. Roberto. I am so sorry. - [Robert] It's okay. It's okay. - Oh, I thought you were Bobby. - He's not back yet?
- No, I'm getting worried. Where's Uncle Nino? - I think he's packing. - Packing? - (chuckles) I didn't
realize how important it was for him to go to the cemetery. He's been living with
this guilt his whole life. - Guilt? About what? - He never came to my parents' funeral. - Why? - He was in prison. - Prison? - It seems that after the
girl he fell in love with married someone else, he
fell in with the wrong crowd, and my father didn't
like what he was doing, and they had this huge fight, and it was the last time they ever spoke. My father never knew that Uncle
Nino was in prison and Uncle Nino didn't know about the
accident until after he got out, which was two years later. - Wow. Why was he in prison? - Somethin' about stealing. - [Marie] Well, why didn't he come sooner? - I don't know. But he had a heart attack
about six months ago and that's when he realized he had to do this. I should've stayed in
touch with him, Marie. We should've been closer. - You didn't know. You were a boy, you didn't know. You gonna be okay?
- Yeah. - I've gotta go find Bobby.
- I can go. - No, no, no, you stay here. He might call, I'll take my cell. I know all the places he might be. Are you sure you're okay? - Yeah. (melancholic piano music) - I'm home! Lucky! Lucky! Oh hi, Dad. - Hey, you. - Well? - Well, what's up? - Well? - Ah, I'm sorry, well what? - The garden, how do you like your garden? - Oh, it's um--
- Don't you love that picture? Uncle Nino showed it to us. He said you loved the
garden when you were little, and that you'd stay in the garden all day, and that's why we were
planting the garden, he said, because he said it'd make you happy. It was a lot of work, I even
got two blisters. (chuckles) - Come here, you. Thanks for all the hard work. I love it. - You're welcome. (chuckles) I'm gonna go find Lucky. Lucky! Lucky! (warm orchestral music) - Uncle Nino? Can I, um, talk to you for a minute? - Roberto, I, I go away now, eh? - Look, why don't we talk first, okay? - Roberto, I make a mess. - No, please.
- To everything. - Please, Uncle Nino, just for
a minute, sit down, please. Please.
- Roberto, I so ashamed. - No no no no, for me, please sit down. - I am so sorry.
- Shh, no no no, sit down. Uncle Nino. (warm orchestral music) I think that sometimes... Things happen for a reason. Maybe you weren't supposed
to come to the funeral... Because you were supposed to come now. Because if you hadn't, I could've gone through the
rest of my life and never appreciated the things that
are most important to me. Now, I'm sorry I got upset at you. And I don't blame you
if you wanna leave, but, I'd like you to stay. We all would like you to stay. - Bravo. Bravo. You are a strong man. Like your father. He would be proud of you. - Thank you. And thank you for the garden. (Nino speaks Italian)
(Robert chuckles) - Some wine?
(Robert chuckles) - (speaks Italian) Tomorrow, tomorrow. I'll, uh, I'll see you in the morning. - Ciao, Roberto.
(Robert speaks Italian) (knocks) - Who is it? - It's me. (Bobby sighs) I don't blame you for being upset with me. I made a lot of mistakes, and I'll make more. But I want you to know, I do the things I do because I love you, and I care about you. And if I haven't been here for you, I'm sorry. But I hope to change that. - Dad? I lied before. I did help TP the Craven's yard. - Did you lie about smoking too? - No. - Thanks for telling me. We'll talk about it tomorrow. - Dad? I love you too. - Goodnight, Bobby. - [Bobby] Goodnight, Dad. (playful orchestral music) - Good morning, Uncle Nino.
(Nino chuckles) - Ciao, Roberto. - Now you have a good day, and I'll see you a little later, okay? - Okay. - Hey, Micelli? I need to talk to you.
- (sighs) Okay, here we go. I know, I know these punks
are ruining your yard. - My yard? Look at this place, what the
hell's goin' on over here? Do you know what you're
doin' to my property value? - Well, you know, I haven't
given it much thought, Jerry, but as to what's going on
over here, this is my garden. - Your what? - My garden. And I talked to my son and his
friends about cutting through your yard and they promised
they won't do that anymore. But even if they do, they don't smoke, which means if I see you walk over here, and flick one more
cigarette butt in my garden, I'm gonna send Uncle Nino
over with his rototiller. You have a good day. - Buongiorno, Mr. Neighbor! - Yeah, uh, ciao. - Ciao! (melancholic orchestral music) - [Woman] Hi, it's Dianna,
please leave a message. - Hello, Dianna? It's Robert. I know it's been a long time, but I really would love to talk to you. So if you get this, maybe
you can get back to me or I'll try calling you again. Okay. Bye bye, sis. - Uncle Nino? I brought you a present. It's a thank you. - Oh. (speaks Italian) (speaks Italian) Abraham Lincoln. Oh. Good man. - So are you. (both chuckle) (Nino speaks Italian) - Hey, Bob, good news. The presentation's
moved to tomorrow night. What's goin' on? - Oh, I just stopped by
to pick up a few things, I'm taking some vacation time. - Vacation time? When were you gonna tell me about this? - I'm telling you right now. - [Stuart] Well, you can't do that, because I need you at that
meeting tomorrow night. - Oh, no you don't. John will be there, remember? It's pretty much a done deal, and besides, there's someplace I really
need to be tomorrow night. - Oh, you do? And how do you think that's
gonna look to National Life? - Listen, Stuart.
(warm orchestral music) I haven't taken any time off in two years. I've always been here
when this place needed me. Now I need some time
and I need it right now. - Okay. - [Robert] Great, I'll see

Nino, I hope this finds you in good health and that you're doing well. Everyone here is fine
and sends their love. So much has happened since you've gone. Gina has been teaching Lucky
new tricks and he's become very popular with the
kids in the neighborhood. Marie has been cooking up a
storm and works in the garden every chance she gets. Bobby's been writing many new songs, all of them with violin
parts, of course, and I'd say he's getting pretty serious
with his new girlfriend. - [Girlfriend] Thanks, that's so sweet. - [Robert] Bones and Joey
and spending a lot of time at the house and I'm proud to say that Bones hasn't had a
cigarette in almost a year. Oh, and Uncle Nino, that little boy in the
photo who loved the garden? He's reborn, I took off
from work last week, and Dianna came and stayed with us. It was wonderful to see her, and she loves the garden
as much as the rest of us. Which, by the way, was
a hit with the neighbors at this year's Garden Walk. Well, most of the neighbors. We think of you often, and look forward to our visit in November. That's all for now. Love, Roberto. (heavy rock music) ♪ I walk around this place
