:08:01
OK, tell me what you know
about Argo Motors.
:08:04
They're our biggest client.
21% of last year's billing.
:08:07
26. They're headed up by Eugene Forrest.
He came aboard two years ago...
:08:12
In a hostile takeover. Thinks the future
of automobiles is in computerization.
:08:16
Rumor is now that he's looking
to merge with a Silicon Valley type.
:08:20
Wrong. He found it.
LorCoTron Electronics.
:08:24
Jeez. Big time.
:08:26
But there's a catch.
And this is where we come in.
:08:31
Three years ago, a class action suit
was filed against Argo,
:08:34
claiming that their 1985 station wagon,
the Meridian, blew up on impact.
:08:38
- So? Lawsuits are a dime a dozen.
- Did they have a case?
:08:41
No. I've handled Argo since that car was
still on the drawing boards. It's totally clean.
:08:47
We persuaded the other side's attorneys
that they couldn't win.
:08:51
But now another firm has re-filed.
A much more aggressive firm.
:08:55
The new American way.
Find the guy who built it, then rob him blind.
:09:00
- So what do we do, guys?
- Settle, for chump change.
:09:03
- Confidentiality clause, don't tell the papers.
- No, we have to win in public.
:09:07
LorCoTron is a very conscientious
company, very consumer-oriented.
:09:11
This LorCoTron thing is time-critical.
You can't...
:09:14
OK, OK!
:09:16
If I decide we fight it,
one of you will be on point.
:09:19
It's good input.
:09:22
Thanks for your time.
:09:26
My hobby is rebuilding American cars...
:09:30
Get outta here!
:09:50
Michael.
:09:57
You have to give me this case.
