:49:03
You'd join that shit, Kinky,
:49:05
who thought he could take my five grand
and fuck me over.

:49:09
The audacity. How fucking dare you?
:49:14
I've known Jimmy Price for 45 years.
:49:18
It pays me to keep an eye on him.
:49:23
Do you know what a remora fish is?
:49:27
- Yes.
- Oh, you do?

:49:30
Well, Jimmy has been swimming
in my slipstream all my fucking life.

:49:35
I thought he might put some
volatile psychopath on the job.

:49:39
But I've checked you out, son.
You're a smart boy.

:49:42
But you keep very, very bad company.
:49:48
You know, I host
a charity golf tournament every year.

:49:52
Quite an event in the social calendar,
if I do say so myself.

:49:55
I like to invite Jimmy. Some of my friends
find him absurdly hilarious.

:50:01
Drinks are on me. Drinks for everyone.
:50:04
Champagne.
Fucking good gear and all.

:50:07
But I've come unstuck in my attempts
to provide a spectacle for my chums.

:50:12
Jimmy, as usual
on the look out for titbits,

:50:16
has met the development minister
of some tin-pot republic.

:50:20
They're trawling the West
for investments.

:50:22
They have vast natural resources.
Quite an investment for the right man.

:50:28
They've sent in men from Timbuktu
explaining all the details.

:50:32
Profits, shares, long-term investments,
short-term investments.

:50:37
They've even made him an honorary
citizen. Even made him one of the tribe.

:50:43
What we didn't know,
until it all ended in tears,

:50:47
was that the hard-line
communist insurgents

:50:49
who control the country
outside the mining areas...

:50:53
Bad news about our little venture, Jim.
:50:56
The communists have broken through.
:50:58
Heading for the capital
with little resistance.
