1:06:05
Pardon my candor, but l was confounded
by your decision this morning.

1:06:08
- Why?
- l was hired.

1:06:10
You told me to help bring Parrish
Communications into the 21st century.

1:06:14
- This merger is the vehicle.
ln my estimation--
- Perhaps a merger is a way...

1:06:17
to bring Bill's company into
the 21st century, and perhaps it isn't.

1:06:20
And perhaps cheating
on your French philosophers exam
at the Groton School...

1:06:23
was an expedient way to get
your diploma, and perhaps it wasn't.

1:06:27
Be that as it may, Drew, a question
can often be argued both ways.

1:06:32
Joe, cut it out.
You too, Drew.

1:06:37
- l thought this was
practically a done deal.
- Well, now it's undone, okay?

1:06:41
Forget Bontecou.
Scrub him.

1:06:44
l'm tired of his fancy name
and his fancy offer.

1:06:48
l'm not going for it.
1:06:51
Okay.
1:07:02
Bill, why at this juncture...
1:07:05
are you letting yourself be
so concerned by business matters?

1:07:10
'Cause l don't want anybody
buying up my life's work!

1:07:13
Turning it into something
it wasn't meant to be.

1:07:16
A man wants to leave
something behind. He wants it
left behind the way he made it.

1:07:20
He wants it to be run
the way he ran it,

1:07:22
with a sense of honor,
of dedication, of truth.

1:07:25
Easy, Bill. You'll give
yourself a heart attack...

1:07:27
and ruin my vacation.
1:07:47
Now listen.
1:07:49
l read you all the way
on the Bontecou thing,

1:07:51
and l know where you're coming from,
and l am with you 101 percent.

1:07:55
Well, thank you, Quince.
