:01:00
- Franken-cow.
- That's exactly what I thought at first.
:01:03
But then from what we hear the cows
are healthy, and the tests show...
:01:06
I hates these tours!
:01:08
And the tests show that the milk's,
uh, pure. So, there you go.
:01:11
Say, what kind of profits can
Chess make on a thing like this?
:01:13
Thing?
This thing, my boy, could revolutionize
the entire worldwide dairy industry.
:01:17
Potentially the biggest moneymaker
that a chemical company has seen...
:01:19
- since NutraSweet.
- Yeah?
:01:21
- Yeah.
- So, how much can they make?
:01:23
Oh, somewhere in the neighbourhood
of a billion dollars a year.
:01:26
- Oh, nice neighbourhood.
- Yeah. I wouldn't mind
living there myself.
:01:30
Oh, hi.
You got out early.
:01:32
One of the advantages
of being chairperson.
You get to adjourn the meetings.
:01:36
- How'd that school board thing work out?
- Oh, nothing to worry about.
:01:38
- Uh, these are friends
of mine from Chicago.
- Oh, hi. Gayle Robbins.
:01:41
- Peter Brackett from the Chronicle.
- Yes.
:01:43
- And this is Sabrina, uh...
- Peterson.
:01:44
Of the Globe.
Sorry.
:01:46
Yes. It's nice to meet you.
Sam, are we having a press conference?
:01:48
No, no, no. They're just doing
some research on LDF, that's all.
:01:51
- Really?
- Yep.
- What do you think?
:01:52
We were just gonna ask you
that same question,
being the head of the committee.
:01:54
Uh, it really doesn't behove
the Senator to render an opinion
on that matter...
:01:57
- Sam!
- All right, go ahead and render.
:01:59
Give me a buzz after the FD A completes
its review. We'll talk then.
:02:02
- Ready, Senator?
- Sam.
:02:04
I know, Pete. You got like a thousand
questions, right? Okay, okay.
:02:07
Look, I got a, an hour here.
Okay? What do you say I take
both of you to dinner, huh?
:02:12
On the house?
:02:16
Two New Yorks, rare.
:02:18
And one steamed vegetable plate,
no salt, no oil, no butter.
:02:22
Thank you.
:02:24
So, you started to say that during
Vietnam, Chess manufactured...
:02:27
Oh, you know, just things like
napalm, Agent Orange, you know?
:02:31
All that wonderful stuff.
:02:32
And then the war ended and
their profits really dried up.
:02:35
For a while, it looked like the
company was on its last legs.
:02:37
And then, along comes
the genetic revolution.
:02:40
And boy,
things really heated up for them.
LDF could put them right back on top.
:02:43
- What's the Chess family like?
- Oh, boy.
:02:46
Well, the old man's
a real zealot, you know?
He's kinda like a Ross Perot wannabe.
:02:50
His kid, Willy, kind of runs things now.
I don't know too much about him.
:02:53
I think he went to Yale,
and then straight to work for Daddy.
:02:55
- Did you know him at Yale?
- Uh-uh, uh-uh.
:02:58
No, I think he's younger than me. How
did you remember that I went to Yale?
