from a business perspective,
your presence in Dogville has become more costly.

1:11:08
Because it's more dangerous
for them to have you here,

1:11:11
not that they don't want you,
1:11:14
since they feel there should be
some counterbalance,

1:11:20
some quid pro quo.
1:11:22
That sound like words
that the gangsters would use...

1:11:25
There is also more of an incentive
if you don't wanna stay.

1:11:32
See, with all those wanted posters
hanging around the place, I can hardly
think of anywhere else you could hide.

1:11:40
So what's the counterbalance
that you suggested?

1:11:47
They wanted you to work longer hours,
but instead what I proposed is

1:11:53
that you just pay a visit to folks
twice a day now.

1:11:58
That way it would seem that you're willing
to contribute more, without actually
lengthening your day too much.

1:12:05
It's just a way of heading off
any unpleasantness.

1:12:13
Well, it sounds a little peculiar
and difficult to put into practice.

1:12:20
That's what I thought.
1:12:22
Martha she said she would ring
her bell every half hour,

1:12:25
so you could keep track of
your new schedule.

1:12:31
Then, they are all willing to let me stay?
1:12:33
No. See, Mrs. Henson she also
thought we should cut your pay.

1:12:41
Merely a symbolic gesture. You see...
the word dangerous on that poster worried her.

1:12:51
I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
If I have to work harder, longer hours for less pay,

1:12:58
then I'm willing to do that.
Of course, I am.
