Goldstein lived in a world far different from the one Matt and his parents were accustomed to. A world filled with jet travel and fancy cars. As long as he could remember, Matt worshipped his Uncle Frank, wanting to be just like him.

Later, after discussing his plans with Frank, he started a slow climb up the stairs to his room, when he heard loud, angry voices coming from downstairs.

"He idolizes you; don't you ever hurt him," his mother warned.

Matt could hear his uncle's raspy voice. "He's more like me than you realize."

"I hope not," said his father. "Everything you touch gets tainted. You're obsessed with money. Sometimes I think you would make a pact with the devil himself if he offered you a competitive edge."

"Come on. Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Matt heard his uncle say.

"No," came his mother's reply. "The reason I don't want him living with you is because I don't want him to be anything like you, God forbid. He's got you up there on a pedestal with the rest of the saints. I don't want him disappointed when you let him down--and you will."

Regardless of what he heard his parents say about his uncle, Matt strengthened his resolve to leave. Nothing would deter him from going to Los Angeles to seek his fortune.
