Overview

Biff Grimes is desperately in love with Virginia, but his best friend Hugo marries her and manipulates Biff into becoming involved in his somewhat nefarious businesses. Hugo appears to have stolen Biff's dreams, and Biff has to deal with the realisation that having what he wants and wanting what another has can be very different things.

01:01:27 I'd like for you to, but, you see...
01:05:22 Spruce up, pop. It's Virginia.
01:09:53 I made it over from that old blue one
01:13:14 I'm sorry this had to happen.
01:18:40 All I knew, it was a few cents cheaper.
01:23:45 This isn't going to spoil it for the pardon, is it?

01:32:56 You don't understand. Well, when we get home,
01:36:45 That's the kind of a hairpin I am.
