If she hadn't bent over backwards
to spoil you and pamper you

:07:03
- when she took you in as a kid...
- (Chuckles)

:07:07
Oh, Quincy, isn't he amusing?
:07:08
He married my aunt
but he couldn't marry her stock.

:07:11
What's the matter?
Why can't you get her to give you control?

:07:15
It's almost 6 o'clock, Mr Buckner.
The roads are wet and it's a long drive.

:07:19
Yes, let's get on with it.
:07:23
- I thought there'd be something else.
- Yes, there is.

:07:26
I have been very patient with you
down through these past several years.

:07:31
All the trouble you've caused
in this company,

:07:33
not to mention
the half a million dollars you cost us

:07:37
by fooling around
in something you called "research".

:07:41
- Yeah, that was kind of you.
- But enough is enough.

:07:45
Quincy.
:07:47
Item. I've found the place
where you gamble in Vegas.

:07:50
This is from a handwriting expert
:07:53
that can swear you forged
your aunt's signature.

:07:56
DL, now, this...
:08:00
It's really beneath you.
:08:02
Go on, Quincy.
:08:04
Item. The drug thing in college.
:08:10
Item. The mess in Acapulco. And this
is a photostat of that car theft report.

:08:19
Oh, Quincy, I tell you, you are superb.
You really are.

:08:23
You are the best combination chauffeur
and private detective in the business.

:08:28
But what is the matter?
:08:29
Why can't he get something for you on
Logan and get rid of all your opposition?

:08:34
Tell me now, Quincy.
What is it? What's wrong?

:08:36
Your wiretapping - it's not working?
:08:39
Why can't you frame
a harmless old bachelor?

:08:42
(Buzzer)
:08:44
- Yes, Valerie?
- 'Excuse me, Mr Buckner.'

:08:47
- 'Mr Logan and the others are here.'
- Thank you.

:08:51
It's all here, Roger.
:08:53
Tomorrow, the conglomerate attorneys
are meeting me at the cabin in Pinewild

:08:58
to discuss the terms of the sale.
