No.
:47:02
You could paint that out,
put this here.

:47:05
No.
:47:07
No, huh?
:47:09
No.
:47:11
We don't see the point.
Just ask him to make us an offer.

:47:14
It's not that simple.
We can't appear too eager.

:47:17
We string him along,
and the price goes up.

:47:20
- What if he pulls out?
- It's too much of a gamble.

:47:24
Ask him what he has to offer.
:47:27
- A half pint for you?
- Aye, and a whisky.

:47:30
I told you I needed
your trust and your patience.

:47:33
Let me take the strain. Relax.
:47:36
Give me till the Ceilidh, at least.
24 hours.

:47:42
OK. We'll talk at the Ceilidh.
:47:47
Nice to see you in here,
Mr Macintyre.

:47:50
Mr Urquhart.
:47:51
I want you to try something.
:47:56
This is the MacAskill.
:47:59
Pure malt whisky.
:48:01
42 years old.
:48:04
Old enough to be out on his own.
:48:07

:48:08
Very true.
:48:12
Hmm.
:48:14
- Sláinte!
- Yeah.

:48:19
- I want to talk to you.
- Good.

:48:23
It's not about
buying people's feelings,

:48:26
it's about
taking feelings into account.

:48:29
I agree.
:48:31
Massive disturbance,
resettlement, lives being restarted.

:48:35
Sounds like a lot of money.
:48:37
One way, it strikes me,
might be a trust fund

:48:41
over and above a purchase price.
:48:43
Say, a lump sum, plus a percentage
of the profits over 10 or 20 years

:48:49
with some local trustees
and some Knox ones.

:48:52
We have to decide on a basic price
before the frills.

:48:55
I'll get you a fixed price
averaging over the whole area.
