- Good morning, Mr Stanford.
- Good morning, Mr Stanford.

:59:11
What's wrong?
:59:13
Oh... excuse me.
:59:17
I just found this on the desk.
It's from the personnel manager.

:59:21
I tried to reach you at the house
but you'd already gone

:59:25
and your aunt wouldn't come to the phone.
:59:27
She hasn't answered one single call
from me since the funeral.

:59:31
Oh. I sent her up to Pinewild for a rest.
It was doctor's orders.

:59:35
Let me see this.
:59:38
Why, that's a pink slip.
:59:40
That stupid personnel department.
You're not fired.

:59:43
But I don't understand.
:59:45
You see, my aunt remembered
:59:47
how much your mother
always wanted to live in the desert.

:59:51
Arizona, wasn't it?
She thought you'd be happier there, too.

:59:54
- Roger, I can't afford that.
- Oh, I'll take care of that.

1:00:00
And listen, now, don't you worry.
We'll see each other a lot.

1:00:04
Yeah. A lot.
1:00:06
A lot.
1:00:10
I'll be here a while. Come back later.
I'll keep the desk and the chair.

1:00:14
The rest of this stuff is just dreary.
1:00:16
I'll have a decorator
come in next week and refurnish.

1:00:20
- What about your office? Your old office.
- Hm?

1:00:23
I don't care. Wrap it up. Give it away.
I don't particularly care.
