: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?
:03:00
That is incredible.
You've got such an amazing memory.
I can't remember my own name.
:03:04
It's possible that I met him
at school, but I doubt it.
I don't even think he graduated.
:03:08
What year would he have been
if he had graduated?
:03:11
I don't know.
Let me think. Uh...
:03:13
- What year did you graduate?
- Me? '73. No, '74.
:03:17
So that would make him class of
'76, '77, something like that.
:03:19
You know, Gayle's met him a few times.
He's supposed to be a nice guy.
:03:21
Not exactly a rocket scientist,
but he...
:03:25
What's going on here exactly, guys?
I mean, why are you
so interested in LDF, huh?
:03:29
Oh, Peterson here is
a big milk drinker. That's all.
:03:34
Oh, well, it d...
It does a body good.
:03:37
Sorry. C'mon, you're not
gonna tell me?
:03:40
It's gotta be somethin' big if
both the Globe and the Chronicle
are in bed together on it.
:03:46
I wouldn't say we're exactly
in bed together.
:03:50
Cheque, please.
