You shouldn't scheme around your family.
Joe is mourning the loss of his father, and he attends a family meeting regarding his father's estate.
Joe wants to get a keepsake item that his father owned.
Joe tells his siblings that the item meant a lot to him and asks if it could be worked out for him to have it in remembrance of his father.
Joe tells his siblings that his father once told him that he should get the item, when the time comes, even though it isn't true.
Each sibling has something that they hope to keep in their father's memory and are able to come to an agreement.
Joe's siblings don't believe that he is telling the truth and it becomes an argument between them, making it unlikely that they will allow him to take the item.
