Ben Kalman is approaching 60. He has health problems, he is divorced and he has lost a lot of money doing shady deals with his former business, car dealerships. He almost went to jail and spent all his fortune trying to stay out of jail. Always a womanizer, he picks up a young woman, a friend of his daughter, at a bar and sleeps with her. Later his daughter finds out and in this scene confronts her father. He urges him to get his balance back and that if he doesn't do anything about his miserable situation, he will have to stay away from her and her family....
