"There will be more
and more tankers.

:09:04
"They will get old and corroded
and their tanks will split.

:09:07
"And there will be less fish,
and less fishermen.

:09:12
"Nobody hangs a picture
of an oil tanker

:09:15
on their wall, do they?"
:09:20
What do you think?
:09:23
I think when Tert Card sees it,
he'll stay up nights

:09:27
thinking of cheap shots
to pay you back.

:09:30
I think he won't stop
until you're fired.

:09:36
I think I haven't been so proud
of a friend...

:09:41
since I don't know when.
:09:48

:09:50
(water bubbling)
:09:59
(door squeaking)
:10:00
Uh, what do you think?
:10:02

:10:17
"Even the biggest
take advantage

:10:19
of Newfoundland's deep water
ports and refineries."

:10:22
Spelled it all perfect
so as not to embarrass you.

:10:26
"Oil and Newfoundland
go together

:10:28
"like ham and eggs
:10:29
and like ham and eggs, they'll
nourish us in the coming years."

:10:33
Even put
your name on it.

:10:37
"Let's all hang a picture
of an oil tanker on our wall."

:10:41
Man of your principles...
:10:45
I understand
the only honorable
course is resignation.

And if you're off
to see Jack Buggit

:10:53
you're going
to have to swim.

:10:55
For I runs theGammy Bird,
every inch of it--

:10:58

And if you think he's going
to choose you over fishing
