- What's the matter?
- Williamson City is what's the matter!

:03:06
- Ah, you spoke to your wife?
- No, I didn't.

:03:09
I get back from eight weeks in Europe
and she's off at some phoney health farm.

:03:14
- Maybe I'd better explain.
- You don't have to explain anything.

:03:18
I found a bunch of letters between you and
her and a mile-high stack of blueprints!

:03:22
It's the most revolutionary concept
I ever had.

:03:25
- We assumed you'd be delighted.
- Delighted?

:03:28
Nobody lassos my money
without my consent,

:03:31
and that includes my wife.
:03:33
There was no way to get in touch with you.
:03:36
- You coulda waited!
- We were positive you'd agree!

:03:39
Agree? Forget it, boy! The joyride is over!
:03:42
The machinery's already set in motion.
:03:44
Well, then you unset it! And don't ever
speak to my wife or me again.

:03:49
She's too young to recognise
a con man.

:03:52
Consider what you're saying. You're not
talking to one of your underlings.

:03:56
- I know exactly who I'm talking to.
- Beau, this will give you immortality.

:04:01
As long as that city stands,
your name will be remembered.

:04:04
Name? Let me tell you, Jackson boy,
:04:06
my wallet is more important to me
than my name.

:04:10
- You really are a Philistine.
- What?

:04:12
All you care about is money.
You don't understand art.

:04:16
You're trying to ruin
something extraordinary.

:04:19
That's right, right, right!
:04:21
If you're on some kind of an ego trip,
you find somebody else to pay for it.

:04:25
Beau, I have a thought.
:04:27
Would you commission me
to design your burial vault?

:04:31
That'd be about your speed. You really
would like to see me dead, wouldn't ya?

:04:38
I tell you, it wouldn't count for much.
:04:40
- Your wife might have other ideas.
- Don't mean a thing.

:04:43
When I die, all of my money goes into trust.
:04:46
Oh, Jennifer'll get her share every year.
:04:49
But there won't be any cash
to build cities with.

:04:53
Oh, and if you're thinkin' of any uglies...
:04:57
forget it.
