:44:15
Sit down, virgil.
:44:21
Thanks, j.w.
:44:32
That was sad about neil.
:44:35
Yes, it is.
:44:38
I understand, uh...
:44:43
you're goin' over
to ella's later on,
:44:45
to pick up payment
on her note.
:44:48
Well, yes, i am.
:44:50
Gonna celebrate?
:44:54
Like you and neil did
:44:56
when you talked
about takin' me over?
:44:58
Oh, now, j. W...
:45:01
wasn't anything
like that at all.
:45:04
I had no choice
in the matter.
:45:06
Oh, i figure
you did, virgil.
:45:09
J.w.,
:45:10
i have to tell you
:45:11
i have neil's instructions
regarding the ranch.
:45:14
Oh?
:45:15
Neil left instructions...
:45:18
to you?
:45:20
Well, yes.
:45:22
I have to put the takeover in the works,
:45:26
but you don't
have to worry, j.w.
:45:28
He left specific
instructions
:45:29
that you were to still run the ranch
:45:32
at a good salary.
:45:34
The ranch will still
bear the ewing name.
:45:37
You're going to be well taken care of, j.w.
:45:43
I hate to be the one
to do this...
:45:50
but you have
to look at it
:45:51
from my position, j.w.
:45:55
You see, my first
responsibility is to the bank.
:45:59
You talkin' to me
about the bank?
