:33:04
Yeah, he's that Texas guy.
What's his name?
:33:07
His name is Williamson.
He's a close friend of Mr Markham's.
:33:11
- Friend, huh?
- Well, weren't they friends?
:33:13
Last time I saw him he looked ready to wrap
a two-by-four round Markham's neck.
:33:19
No kidding. Yeah? When was that?
:33:21
Look, Lieutenant. I got a building
to put up, all right? I'll see ya around.
:33:25
OK. I don't want to interfere with
your work. But there's one other thing.
:33:29
Talk to Mr Markham. I'm just in charge
of the nuts and bolts around here.
:33:33
- Then you know about those columns.
- Not columns. Piles.
:33:37
- Piles. That's what they're called?
- That's right.
:33:41
- Well, tell me about 'em.
- Well, I'll tell ya.
:33:43
We sink a hollow steel cylinder
in the ground.
:33:46
We fill it with cement,
and when it hardens, we got a pile.
:33:49
- That's what a pile is?
- That's right.
:33:51
That's interesting. Do you keep a record
when you put 'em in?
:33:55
Have to, and which one's first.
:33:57
You mean you could tell me exactly what
day each one of these piles was sunk?
:34:03
The day, the time, how long it took
and how many men I had on the job.
:34:07
(Markham) Lieutenant!
Still obsessed with pyramids?
:34:11
Must've been that lecture, Mr Markham.
:34:13
I never really noticed buildings
but I'm interested now.
:34:17
Carl, check those HVAC estimates for me.
:34:19
Yes, sir.
:34:21
- I'll see you around, Lieutenant.
- Right.
:34:23
Hey, tell me the truth, Lieutenant. Are
you interested in buildings or builders?
:34:28
- What do you mean?
- Well, let's look at your itinerary.
:34:31
You showed up at my office,
my lecture, now at my construction site.
:34:36
I happen to have some spare time.
:34:38
Shouldn't you be spending your time
tracking down Beau Williamson?
:34:43
Surely you don't think he's here?
:34:46
Well, no. I don't see how he could be.
:34:50
Well, if you'll forgive me,
I'll go back to my work.
:34:53
Certainly.
:34:57
I, uh, I assume I can look forward
to another visit in the near future?
