The next day I came into work
and Mrs. Banks told me to come in--

:34:05
Leave out the part about the ball game,
and the drinks.

:34:08
-Yeah, but we drank. I mean, I drank.
-Sure, but that's not why you got fired .

:34:13
Let's not give them that impression.
Start from " Mrs. Banks. . . . "

:34:17
Mrs. Banks-- See, she didn't ask me.
She tells you what to do, okay?

:34:22
It's like those dinosaurs.
Her great-granddaddy made, I mean. . .

:34:26
. . . he just put them there
and that's enough for her.

:34:29
I have no clue
as to what you' re talking about.

:34:32
-She does.
-We can leave out the dinosaurs.

:34:35
Mrs. Banks said . . . .
:34:37
"We have two security guards. . .
:34:39
. . .we don't need them
because we must cut back on money.

:34:42
We only need one. So Cliff,
who's been around here longer. . .

:34:45
. . .and he, you know . . . . "
:34:47
So I said, "All right, fine. I'll take
less money or I'll take less hours. "

:34:52
She didn't listen.
:34:53
Did it ever occur to you
that I might deal with problems. . .

:34:57
. . . bigger than your personal economics?
:34:59
That my job is running the museum,
not my employee's careers?

:35:03
I came to you twice, you didn't see--
:35:06
I couldn't at that moment.
:35:08
Well, don't turn around .
:35:10
You only want things your way.
:35:13
Walk over there and make sure
the buffalo are grazing properly.

:35:17
Bison.
:35:18
I stand corrected .
:35:19
Let me ask you something .
:35:21
Is this the first time you came
to see her? Today? Mrs. Banks?

:35:25
No. The second time.
:35:27
The second time.
:35:29
I want you to tell me what
you were feeling when she fired you.

:35:34
-This will sound stupid but. . . .
-Go ahead .

:35:37
You know that thing in a car
that measures miles?

:35:41
-The meter.
-It goes back to zero.

:35:45
That's what was going on in my mind .
:35:48
I couldn't tell my wife.
:35:50
You couldn't tell her you were fired?
:35:53
Then I'd get dressed for work every day,
like a fool, and . . .

:35:57
. . . I'd just go to some movie theater
and just spend the day. . .
