We'll go slow with him.
I don't want to hear the word, fraud.
:42:26
No matter what we have,
the whole thing could be a clerical error.
:42:29
A $20 million clerical error?
:42:32
I'm here with no authority whatsoever.
:42:34
You're in possession of insurance files

a few more questions about the Deardon.

by Seaboard Fidelity Company.
:43:30
Please, I'm busy.
