business is never transacted here.
1:20:05
I meant, what do you want to drink?
1:20:08
I wanted to reach across
and strangle him with his tie.

1:20:13
Instead, I sat there for two hours
1:20:15
and listened to him
talk about selling his yacht.

1:20:19
You know, sometimes
I actually prefer the 35-footer.

1:20:25
Because I can crew it myself,
1:20:27
I can be all by myself out there
alone. It's magnificent.

1:20:32
And there's no... Nobody can
call you. Nobody can beep you.

1:20:35
Nobody can fax you.
1:20:37
There's no lawsuits.
1:20:40
You know what I'm talking about.
You sail?

1:20:43
- No.
- You don't sail?

1:20:47
- Finally, we went to his office.
- Let's sit down.

1:20:51
Come on. It's more comfortable.
Have a seat.

1:20:55
He comes around the desk,
he sits down.

1:21:00
Go ahead, sit down.
1:21:01
He puts his feet up
on this French antique thing

1:21:06
and he tells me to put my feet up.
1:21:09
Put your feet up. Come on.
1:21:12
- No, thank you.
- No, go ahead.

1:21:15
- Go ahead.
- No, really, I'm fine.

1:21:18
Nothing's going to break.
Put them up.

1:21:21
It was weird - all this talk about
putting my feet on this table.

1:21:25
It's all right - I mean it.
Try it. Come on.

1:21:28
Put your feet up.
1:21:38
There. Now, I can afford to pay you
almost anything you ask.

1:21:44
It's not the money.
1:21:47
But a settlement that high
says we're guilty.

1:21:50
That says to every two-bit
personal injury lawyer in Boston,

1:21:54
Iet's sign up everyone in Woburn.
1:21:56
Creates a shark effect,
and that I can't afford.
