:40:02
[ Chuckles ]
And then he developed a safety cap.
:40:05
Because as a C.E.O., sure, he's
gotta be a great businessman, right?
:40:10
But he's also
a man of science.
:40:12
He's not gonna allow his company
to put on the shelf a product
that might hurt people.
:40:17
Not like
the Seven Dwarfs.
:40:19
- Seven Dwarfs?
- Seven C.E.O.s of Big Tobacco.
:40:22
They got in front of Congress
that time. It was on television.
:40:24
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Swore under oath that
they know nothing about addiction--
:40:27
It was on C-SPAN.
Yeah.
:40:29
Okay, so, here you are.
You-You-You go to work for tobacco.
:40:34
You come from corporate cultures
where research--
:40:36
really creative thinking--
these are core values.
:40:39
You go to tobacco.
Tobacco is a sales culture--
:40:42
market and sell enormous volume,
go to a lot of golf tournaments.
:40:45
The hell with everything else.
What are you doing?
:40:48
- Why are you working
for tobacco in the first place?
- I can't talk about it.
:40:50
- [ Laughs ]
- The work I was supposed to do...
:40:53
might have had some positive effect,
I don't know.
:40:56
Could have been beneficial.
Mostly, I got paid a lot.
:41:01
I took the money.
My wife was happy.
:41:04
My kids had good medical,
good schools. Got a great house.
:41:07
I mean, what the hell
is wrong with that?
:41:09
Nothing's wrong with that. That's it.
You're making money.
:41:12
You're providing for your family.
What could be wrong with that?
:41:17
I always thought of myself as a man of
science, that's what's wrong with it.
:41:23
Then you're in
a state of conflict, Jeff.
:41:26
Because look,
here's how it lays out.
:41:28
If you've got vital
insider stuff,
:41:30
the American people, for their
welfare, really do need to know,
:41:33
and you feel impelled
to disclose it...
:41:35
and violate your agreement
in doing so, that's one thing.
:41:38
On the other hand, if you want
to honor this agreement,
:41:42
then that's simple--
you do so.
:41:44
You say nothing,
you do nothing.
:41:46
There's only one guy
who can figure that out for you,
:41:49
and that's you
all by yourself.
:41:58
I gotta go pick up the girls.
They only had a half a day.
