:29:02
and he has
five strokes on us.
:29:05
He has more concentration
than anybody I've ever met.
:29:08
It's spooky
how he can concentrate.
:29:14
I'd rather play
than talk about it.
:29:18
What did you
want to see me about?
:29:20
I don't like
being back here.
:29:22
Jeffrey says exactly
what's on his mind.
:29:25
Most people consider
what they're saying-- social skills.
:29:28
Jeffrey just charges
right ahead.
:29:31
Now, I know you understood the nature
of the confidentiality portion...
:29:36
of your severance agreement
with Brown &Williamson.
:29:38
- Chapter and verse.
- Yeah, I know you do.
:29:41
You know, I came up
through sales.
:29:45
One of the reasons
I was a great salesman...
:29:47
was I never made a promise
I couldn't keep.
:29:50
I knew that if l ever
broke my promise,
:29:53
I'd suffer
the consequence.
:29:56
Is that a threat?
:29:59
We worked together for--
what was it, three years?
:30:02
Now, the work we did here is
confidential, not for public scrutiny...
:30:05
any more than
are one's family matters.
:30:07
You're threatening
my family now too?
:30:09
[ Chuckles ]
Now, don't be paranoid, Jeff.
:30:13
About the direction of research here,
we may have had our differences, but--
:30:16
Research. You declare
as a badge of honor you don't
even know what makes water boil.
:30:21
Well, that's why
we hire scientists.
:30:23
[ Scoffs ]
Okay.
:30:27
I don't believe that you can
maintain corporate integrity...
:30:29
without
confidentiality agreements.
:30:32
I was paid well
for my work,
:30:34
the health and welfare
benefits are good,
:30:37
the severance package
is fair.
:30:39
I have no intention of violating
my confidentiality agreement...
:30:43
and disclosing that
which l said l wouldn't.
:30:48
I appreciate
all that, Jeff,
:30:51
but upon reflection, we've decided
to expand our zone of comfort with you,
:30:56
so we've drafted a supplement
to your agreement.
