Do you mind? I'm trying to work
out here. Unless... you want to spot me.

:49:04
Lester, you will not
get away with this.

:49:08
- You can be sure of that.
-... There are many here among us...

:49:11
- That's... what...
-... Who feel that life is but a joke......

:49:14
you... think.
:49:16
"My job consists of
basically masking...

:49:20
"my contempt for
the assholes in charge...

:49:23
"and at least once a day
retiring to the men's room...

:49:27
"so I can jerk off...
:49:29
"while I fantasize
about a life...

:49:32
that doesn't so closely
resemble hell."

:49:35
Well, you obviously have no interest
in saving yourself.

:49:39
Brad, for 1 4 years, I've been a whore
for the advertising industry.

:49:43
The only way I could save myself now
is if I start firebombing.

:49:46
Whatever. Management wants you
gone by the end of the day.

:49:50
Just what sort of severance package
is management prepared to offer me,

:49:53
considering the information
I have about our editorial director...

:49:56
buying pussy
with company money?

:49:58
Which I think
Would interest the I.R.S.

:50:00
since it technically
constitutes fraud.

:50:02
And I'm sure that some of our
advertisers and rival publications...

:50:05
might like to know about it as well,
not to mention... Craig's wife.

:50:11
- What do you want?
- One year's salary with benefits.

:50:15
That's not going to happen.
:50:19
What do you say I throw in a little
sexual harassment charge to boot?

:50:22
[ Laughing ]
Against who?

:50:26
[ Laughs ]
Against you.

:50:27
Can you prove that you
didn't offer to save my job...

:50:31
if I let you blow me?
:50:38
Man... you are
one twisted fuck.

:50:43
Nope. I'm just
an ordinary guy...

:50:46
with nothing to lose.
:50:53
Yeah.
