Parenthood (1989): Family Dinner

The clip family dinner from Parenthood (1989) with Eileen Ryan, Tom Hulce

Cool is adorable. Why didn't you ever write us you had a son?
I didn't know myself until a couple of months ago.
See...
a few years ago I was living in Vegas with this girl.
A showgirl. She was in that show, "Elvis On Ice. "
Anyway, we drifted apart...
as people do in these complicated times...
and then a couple of months ago, she shows up with Cool, tells me...
"You watch him. I shot someone. I have to leave the country. "
That's a parent?
Anyway...
we're back in town because I've got something really huge cooking.
Enormous. Monster. Dad, this is it.
From now on, I'm gonna be taking care of all of you.
This isn't another get-rich-quick scheme, is it, Larry?
What's wrong with getting rich quick?
Quick is the best way to get rich. Look who I'm talking to.
You ever see her family?
They find a nickel, they huddle together and bury it like squirrels.
What's the deal, son? What do you have going?
Has anyone heard of hydroponics?
Well, that's great!
Hydroponics is the growing of plants without soil.
What are you using? Coarse sand or suspension hydroponics?
I don't-
There's a guy with a lab coat that makes that decision. I make the deal.
And I got to thinking, Cool's had no kind of life, no family.
So while I'm locking this down, I thought we would stay with you.
With us?
A couple of weeks.
The thing is, we don't have the big house anymore, you know.
We just have the one bedroom for us and one for Grandma.
Grandma's welcome to stay with us for a while.
It'd be valuable for Patty to have a multigenerational influence.
Fine with me.
