:46:05
-We should talk money.
-I'm glad you folks have come around.
:46:11
Whenever there's an economic shift,
somebody gets left holding the bag.
:46:16
-Stuck with their property.
-After it's been dramatically devalued.
:46:22
If you'd waited any longer,
I'd hate to think--
:46:25
Just what are your
development plans, Mr. Forrester?
:46:31
That's not really my end
of the business...
:46:34
...but I assume that the whole
beachfront area will undergo...
:46:40
...some sort of change...
:46:44
...that would have negatively impacted on
your ability to continue to do business.
:46:50
-So our development board--
-Out of the goodness of their heart?
:46:55
We prefer not to destroy anything
when we come in...
:46:59
...whether it be an ecosystem
or a small business.
:47:03
That's extremely charitable of you.
However, in view of the fact...
:47:08
...that we have no crystal ball...
:47:11
...to inform us on the scope
of your group's future activities...
:47:15
...I think some sort of continuing
participation would be in order.
:47:20
On top of your very generous
initial offer, of course.
:47:24
-Continuing?
-An escalator clause.
:47:32
I'm not really sure what--
:47:34
Let's say in five years
you've transformed our beachfront...
:47:38
...into one of those cash-generating
monstrosities that grace the coast.
:47:45
We would receive a gross percentage
of the proceeds from rentals.
:47:49
Or adjusted gross, if you will,
depending on our ability to audit.
:47:58
Don't gape at me, darling.
