:39:02
l'd rather be up-front
about shafting somebody.
:39:04
MATTY:
Edmund, really!
:39:06
-lt's his profession.
NED: That's all right.
:39:08
l don't like it much.
:39:10
Call me Ned, will you?
:39:12
EDMUND:
What's to like?
:39:14
lt's the way of the world.
Most people despise their jobs.
:39:17
Do you?
:39:21
EDMUND:
No, l love it.
:39:23
But it's not a job.
:39:25
What is it exactly?
:39:29
l do various things.
This and that.
:39:32
EDMUND: Here and there.
NED: You don't have to be specific.
:39:37
Finance, basically.
Venture capital, real estate. . .
:39:40
. . .investments.
We're into a few things.
:39:43
-Around here?
EDMUND: Some.
:39:45
EDMUND:
Some things here.
:39:46
Edmund's company owns The Breakers.
:39:49
NED: Really?
EDMUND: lt's not that simple, really.
:39:53
We have an interest
in a few places along the shore.
:39:55
For the land, someday.
:39:59
Don't try explaining it to her.
:40:01
l'm too dumb.
A woman, you know.
:40:06
l'll be right back.
:40:08
Then maybe we can talk about
pantyhose or something interesting.
:40:19
She's something, isn't she?
:40:20
NED:
She is a lovely lady.
:40:23
EDMUND:
Yes, she is.
:40:24
And l'm crazy about her.
:40:27
lf l thought she was seeing
another guy. . . .
:40:30
l don't know.
:40:32
l could understand how it could happen,
the way she is.
:40:35
l could understand it, but. . .
:40:37
. . .l think l'd kill the guy
with my bare hands.
:40:41
That's understanding.
:40:47
NED:
Please.
:40:48
You'd never believe the dorkus
she was with when l met her.
:40:52
The guy came to us
with a business proposition.
:40:56
We're always looking for opportunities.
:40:59
We're willing to take a risk. . .
