:37:04
The wager's off.
The damn thing cheated.
:37:14
The Planetship is hiding something.
:37:16
All we have to do
is find out what it is. . .
:37:19
. . .then we'll have leverage.
:37:21
And then we can get the gold.
:37:23
What do you mean, we? It's my plan.
:37:26
I'm sending the gold to Psychlo, then
I'm getting off this stinking planet.
:37:30
Come on, sir.
:37:32
You gotta let me in on it.
:37:33
I barely make any lousy credits
in this job.
:37:36
And I've got five wives
to support, sir.
:37:42
I don't know if I want
to partner up with an idiot.
:37:45
How do I even know
you understand the plan?
:37:53
We train man-animals
who don't need breath gas. . .
:37:57
. . .to mine the gold for us.
:37:59
But Home Planet owns this planet.
The gold belongs to them.
:38:03
That's the beauty of it.
:38:04
Home Planet doesn't know
the gold exists.
:38:07
Those corporate crapheads
won't know we stole it.
:38:10
It's the perfect crime, sir.
:38:12
Putting aside the serious violations
of teaching mining to inferiors. . .
:38:16
. . .and insulting corporate superiors,
each one punishable by death.
:38:20
So it is my duty to report you. . .
:38:22
. . .though you'll be vaporized, and
I'll have to train a new assistant.
:38:27
But it's your stinking plan, sir.
:38:29
So I'm glad I have
a recording of you. . .
:38:31
. . .Laying out the plan
and my reprimanding you.
:38:33
Think of it as part of your education.
:38:37
Education, huh?
:38:41
Never engage in a criminal activity
unless you have a patsy to pin it on. . .
:38:45
. . .in case you ever get found out.
:38:48
Thank you. That's great.
:38:50
But why do I have to be the patsy?
:38:52
So you don't get any bright ideas
to get rid of Terl. . .
:38:55
. . .and keep the gold for yourself.
:38:57
But I'd never double-cross you.
:38:59
I've arranged that if any unfortunate
accident were to befall me. . .
