What is the purpose of your trip, please?
Business.
Thank you, and welcome to St. Estephe.
What is the purpose of your trip, please?
May I see these Havanas please?
- Relax. - I'll relax after the dog and pony show.
Will you put that thing away?
- Joe. - Mr. Ross?
Hello.
- Hello... - Susan.
Susan, you on the plain?
Back in the cheap seats.
I'm just thrilled the company sent me down here at all.
- Let me help you with that... - Susan.
- Oh no Mr. Ross,
I promised Mr. Klein. Nobody touches this but me.
- Let me just get this. - Do you know you're a real
- boy scout? - It's a compliment indeed.
No, they told me when we started here, and it's true.
Nothing sensitive in that?
Absolutely not. Come on.
The process.
And by means of the process, to control the global market.
And this process is complete?
- It's near completion. - Near completion?
Very near. This team which Mr. Ross...
- Team? - The team.
And I think if I may, Mr. Kline?
It would not be amiss to state that both the work
and the inspiration for the process was...
Thank you George.
I know you'll understand when I say that's not here nor there.
These gentlemen have come down to hear the good news.
The good news is control of the market.
Um, how are we going to do that, Mr. Ross?
You have some of the technical information in front of you.
Obviously, we don't want to get too specific
for security reasons.
So my task today is to tell you those things which I can
in "layman's language".
And I think I can break it down
sufficiently to give you a pretty firm idea...
- This process, - Yes.
How long can we hold onto it
before the competition steals it?
Well we defend it, of course, tooth and nail.
This is a proprietary process.
Of course, after the fact. But the competition is...
The question is, if we get into it, what do we own?
You're asking us to consider making a vast investment.
- Our concern... - Before we take this
to the stockholder’s meeting, I want to know,
What do we own?
Speak to the point.
Thank you, I will speak to that point.
Without the data, without the actual data,
without the formula, the Japanese or anyone else
for that matter would have nothing.
Should you give us the go-ahead, their actual...
The legal issues are these.
We have both the defacto and de jure copyright
of that process. It was developed by...
Even should they engage in piracy,
their search and development time...
- Their catch up time. - Would put them back, George?
- Three. - Three to five years.
What I want to know is, how much money will we make?
In that three to five year period.
A conservative projection is, we're going to generate
for the company, a windfall, somewhere in the order of...
- Mr. Klein. - Yes?
I wonder if I could take this opportunity...
Yes, what is it Joe?
Mr. Klein, if I might.
They were kind enough to mention the stockholder's meeting.
But, if we could discuss the exact terms of my...
- Of your? - Of my bonus.
- Joe. - That is my participation.
Joe, when this thing goes, there's going to be more
than enough to go around.
Are you kidding? You did good in there.
I'm not going to forget it. Neither are they.
Thank you, but my exact question is...
How much?
I'm in the same position as you.
Yeah. They keep me in the dark too.
Yes they do.
Need a couple bucks for your rent?
For my rent? Can't say that I do sir, no.
Joe, I'll tell you what.
Frankly, I'm here to enjoy myself.
That's why we brought you fellows down,
to give you a little perk.
Now you want to talk business? New York, my office, anytime.
And Joe, why don't you buy yourself some new clothes?
Give yourself a holiday.
As you can see Joe, lot's to do down here.
See you in New York.
Both the room charges and the incidentals?
The fax said the incidentals...
I'm just the new girl.
- I'll just be a moment. - Thanks.
Your travelers checks are in U.S. dollars, sir?
- That's right. - Some clam-bake, huh?
I'll need you to sign these.
Gabriel, you have to change the tape on the video.
Change it? Don't you just re-record them?
No, we save all the tapes.
- What do you keep them for? - Insurance company demands it.
People waterskiing, and so on. In case of a suit.
Lot of money, sir.
They'd give you a better exchange at the bank.
Oh well.
I suppose I should have done it that way,
but that's alright.
Hello. Been shopping, Mr. Ross?
Well if you wanted to, as long as we're down here,
you could call me Joe.
Yeah, as long as I didn't take that as inducement
to, you know, further intimacy.
- Thank you. - No problem.
I'll call you Joe when we're down here then.
If I may?
How'd the meeting go?
Something big, huh?
That's what they all think back home. Something big.
It could be something big.
What is it?
Sworn to secrecy.
Something big, sworn to secrecy, everybody smoking a cigar?
Things seem to be operating in our favor.
Hmm.
Did you know the Caribbean is the number one
honeymoon destination for young Japanese?
- I didn't know that. - Well, it is.
Long way to come.
Must be because it's so romantic.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Ross.
Mr. Ross? Take a picture, sir?
Sure.
Security of the press,
there is only one public, in New York.
Uh-huh, I see.
Beats working, doesn't it?
What do you think, one last shot?
Show 'em back at the office, our day in paradise.
Sure.
Let's see those ivories.
A friendly smile, a tropical isle.
- I'll take you too. - Thanks.
You're a real gent. See ya.
I'll give you a thousand dollars for that camera.
I beg your pardon?
I said I will give you a thousand dollars
if you give me that camera.
Are you asking a favor of me?
Is that the idea?
Because if it's important to you,
why don't you take the camera as a gift?
Why don't you take it?
There you go. My gift to you.
Excuse me.
What is this "thing" that brought you down here?
A very hush-hush secret development.
But I'm so lowdown on the food chain,
I've only been there a month. And nobody...
Oh, hello Joe. I was just...
Yeah, we're secret agents down here.
Super rich and powerful.
Reforming the world.
And full of priceless information.
Everybody on vacation has got a story.
- Isn't it? - That's right.
Everybody needs to feel important. What do you do?
Me?
I'm with the FBI.
I know.
I shouldn't have said anything.
Not that I know anything.
You're right, you're right, you know what I have?
A secretary mentality. That's what I have.
No, that's right, Susan. Might be a good idea...
Not that anyone tells me anything.
I'm just here to fetch and carry; "Send the new girl."
It's not a big thing.
Just have to mention it. Thanks.
Somebody’s got a crush on you.
I ain't looking for an office romance.
All I want is an umbrella in my drink.
When your ship comes in, you're going to be whisking them
away like flies, lad, just like flies.
- Ship comes in.. - Nice shirt.
They can twist and squirm, but they owe you.
And if they don't want to pay?
Well, nobody want to pay, but here's what I think.
You know, worry is like interest paid in advance
on a debt that never comes due.
- Is it indeed. - I warned you.
Leave the job until tomorrow.
This evening let's enjoy ourselves.
You'll have to show me how.
My pleasure.
Good evening ladies.
Hello girls.
Evidently intended for our betters.
I'm going to go off and get into trouble.
How good of you to come out and join us.
There we go.
You're interested in tennis?
Never had too much time for it.
Well, that's the whole problem with the whole thing, isn't it?
Man said, it's alright when your hobbies get in the way
of your work. But when they start to get
in the way of each other...
My little sister plays tennis.
Alternate on the Olympic Team.
Well, alright.
What I want to say is, thank you.
I was wrong to offer you money.
It was gauche, and it was...
And I appreciate your gesture and I'm in your debt.
Thank you.
Glad to help.
Lovely romantic spot.
My name is Julian Dell, by the way.
Everyone calls me Jimmy.
Joseph Ross.
That was a nice gesture on your part, I appreciate it.
Where's the young lady?
The young lady on the beach.
Helicopter.
Back to Bermuda.
You want to get a drink?
Sure.
Who is she? The young lady on the beach?
Well, a princess.
She's a princess.
You might say the title means nothing as the country hardly
exists anymore.
But perhaps it means something.
And the princess, she's what? She's...
Well, she's married.
And she's married to a friend of mine.
So I saw you with the camera...
Yes.
What happened to the princess?
Well, she was, of course, never here.
So we had to whisk her back to her husband.
I understand.
- Good morning. - Morning.
George Lang, Jimmy Dell.
- Fellow with the aero plane. - That's right.
Pleasure. Nice plane.
Beats walking.
A fellow said we must never forget that we're human.
And as humans, we must dream.
And when we dream, we dream of money.
Well.
Money, it impresses everyone. What did it ever do for one?
Useful if you want to buy things.
I got this.
My sister.
Is she young and pretty?
Oh, yeah, I think she'd qualify for young and pretty.
Mm.
Well, I'm going to take a walk. You want to take a walk?
Bedtime for me.
Well, perhaps we'll meet back in New York.
I hope so.
- Got a card? - Sure.
- Thanks, Joe. - Jimmy.
Lovely gesture of yours, giving me that camera.
Copies of the bills to the main office.
And all incidentals and personal items as we spoke of.
Well, now I know they're high on you.
They even told me to pick you your local calls.
And I didn't call anybody.
Well, you missed your chance.
I should have gone hog wild on the company and stolen
a bath robe.
Joe. Joe?
Can I talk to you for a second?
For the purposes of billing,
if you could render our account into American dollars?
Yes, sir?
The group has expressed some anxiety about the possibility
of insider trading.
Mr. Klein, I'm not about to indulge...
Just mentioning it. It's a matter of concern.
- No, sir. I understand. - You understand what?
I understand that everyone is anxious.
Would you excuse me for a minute?
Okay, let me just take you through these charges.
- This is your room charge. - Thank you.
Thank you. It's a pleasure to have you here.
This is radio, telephone...
And these are all room and beverage?
And this is for the translator, is that right?
Yes, this is for the island,
and this is for the international calls.
The international, good, thank you.
We had the line open to Switzerland.
Good morning, and how's the world traveler today?
Don't talk to me.
Feeling poorly?
I put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.
How was your evening?
Actually, I had a rather interesting evening.
Oh, whoa.
What might this be?
Rich aunt die?
Part of my adventure took place in the casino.
Here's your half.
My half?
We swore to share and share like.
No, I don't need this.
A deal's a deal. Give it to charity.
Oh, wait a second. Wait a second.
I'll get this.
Thank you. Do you know you're a real gentleman?
Oh.
Excuse me, excuse me. I'm sorry...
Joe! Joe.
I'm so glad I caught you.
Look, You're going to New York,
- might I ask you a service? - Certainly.
Could you drop off a package for me?
Could you drop this off for my sister?
Mrs. DeSilva at the Wiltshire?
- Sure. - You don't mind?
Glad to do it.
I'm going to be in New York Friday. Are you free?
Uh.
We'll have dinner. Are you free?
Of course.
- I'll call you. - I look forward to it.
Friday.
You may proceed to your gate and thank you.
May I help you, sir?
Will there be anything else, sir?
Oh, yeah, do you have anymore room in first class?
I'll check.
- This is so generous of you. - My pleasure.
This is so generous of you.
No, it's an extraordinary gesture.
It's remarkable.
Somebody said nobody going on a business trip
would have been missed if he didn't arrive.
This way, please.
I'm sorry, miss.
- The camera? - Yes, just put it on the belt.
- Thanks. Step through. - See you on the plane.
Yes, yes, yes.
This film, is it going to be...
No, ma'am. It won't hurt your film. Just come through.
You know, this is so nice of you, really.
They told me, I even get to keep my return ticket.
Use it anytime.
Not that I plan to be back here, but...
May I see your ticket, miss?
No, I know you wouldn't think it, but this gentleman
arranged for me to sit here with quality.
Shows to go you, you never know who anybody is.
You never know who anybody is.
That girl said she's with the FBI, guess what she does.
What does she do?
She is with the FBI.
Funny old world.
Funny old world? Dog my cats.
Dog my cats, indeed.
You never know who anybody is.
With the exception of me. I am what I look like.
Why is that, Mr. Ross?
I think you look just fine.
No, anybody could be anybody.
Mysterious, or...
Take that guy who got off the sea plane, alright? Take him.
What about him?
What about him? Who was he?
I don't know. A fellow who got off a plane?
Just my point, just my point.
We think he's a fellow that got off the plane.
Can't go around mistrusting everybody.
- Do you mistrust everybody? - No.
- Just strangers. - Ah-hah.
We saw him get off the plane.
We did not.
We saw him in a boat,
which came from the direction of the plane.
I saw him get off the plane.
Well, maybe that's just what you think you saw.
I got a picture.
I took a picture of you and he's in the background.
And I believe you'll see, I can't say that I'm sure.
But I think you'll see that his little boat just came
from the direction of the plane.
We have no idea who anyone is.
We're arriving in New York shortly.
You are required to fill out a customs form.
And an immigration form if you're not...
I think I'm getting the flu.
I'm taking in some Cuban cigars. You? Did you?
Where'd you hide them?
Like they say at the airport. Did anyone give you a package?
- Did you leave your... - What do you mean?
Well, what do they call them, mules.
People get people to bring in dope for them.
Dope or guns or something.
Somebody gives you a package to take back,
and you trust them.
Who is what they seem?
Who in this world is what they seem?
Excuse me, sir. We will be landing momentarily. Sir?
Sir?
Sir? Sir, you must return to your seat.
- Sir. - One moment.
Where are we?
How do you feel?
Was it my imagination, or was that new secretary
with us up in first class?
You bought her a ticket.
I bought her the ticket?
You bought her the ticket.
You know what your problem is, Joe? You're too nice.
Everything for everybody else, nothing for yourself.
Driver, stop the car, please.
Where are you going?
You take my stuff back to the office.
Sure.
This book could, of course, be rebound but...
Price is not an issue.
Ms. Smith?
Certainly, sir, but as I was going to say.
It's a common book, common issue.
Wouldn't be surprised if we...
Oh, by the way, if you're interested in Don Budge,
just happens to be I have a very fine autograph of him
at the French Open.
[woman] Got it, Mr. Cole.
Ah, you see?
- The very same. - The same book?
Same book, same edition. Identical.
May I wrap this for you?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, would you mind?
And if you find that you're interested
in the Don Budge photo,
I'm sure I can give you a very attractive price on it.
Yes, thank you.
For a Mrs. DeSilva.
Mrs. DeSilva. I'll see that she gets it, sir.
Thank you.
[whistles]
So what are you doing for the weekend, Susan?
Far as I know I'm working here.
- Working, huh? - That's right.
See you Monday.
[Lang] The question is one of compensation,
to which you are entitled.
Compensation as the discoverer,
And as the head of the design team.
It's your right.
- Every time I broach it... - Well, what does he say?
He says wait until the stockholders meeting.
Well, of course, by then it will be too late.
Don't give up, we're going to talk it out.
What are you doing tonight?
I think I'm going to dinner.
Big date?
Two people I met. Who is it?
Susan Ricci.
Just a minute, please.
Are you giving her a tumble?
Perhaps I have my sights set on different things.
Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.
Tea time.
Shouldn't you be going home?
Well, yes, I have a hot date for the weekend
with this rich and dishy guy who is going to whisk me
to Connecticut.
And loll me around in an old four poster bed.
But it's just in my imagination.
So here I am.
- Thank you. - Are you studying tennis?
Oh, we didn't play in my neighborhood when I was a kid.
Getting used to the ways of the rich?
And why should he be doing that?
Oh, come on.
Oh, would you turn away please?
So how's everything in the outer offices?
My troika was pursued by wolves.
Good thing this cookie arrived unscathed.
It was a close thing.
Susan.
Oh, no, I don't mean to pry. I'm just here to serve.
Good night Joe. Susan.
If you get freed up, give me a call.
I should stay home anyway. I'm coming down with something.
It's the flu.
A lot of it going around.
Goodnight George.
When you own the company, can I be queen?
What are you talking about?
Little pitchers have big ears.
Do they indeed?
That's their identifying mark.
What do loose lips think?
Ships...
See you on Monday, Susan.
Have a good weekend, Mr. Ross.
Oh, when I get my film back from the Photo-map,
you're going to see that, that guy was not
on the seaplane, and you'll owe me a dollar.
Goodnight Mr. Klein.
Nothing sensitive in there, Joe?
Mr. Klein.
The Process is in the safe on non-copiable paper.
There are, that I know of only two keys.
Goodnight Mr. Klein.
Well, I'm going home. You tell Susan I'll see her on Monday.
- Yes, Mr. Klein. - Anyone calls,
- I'll be home. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Klein?
- Mr. Klein, can I say something? - Please, what is it?
Sir, your concern with security indicates to me that you think
somebody is trying to take advantage of you.
Sir, I don't want to take advantage of you,
and frankly, I don't want anyone to take advantage of me.
I only...
- I don't understand. - I would like...
I would like consideration for the work that I've done
on the Process and for the wealth that's going to be
brought into this company.
I keep telling you son, everybody appreciates
the work you've done. Everybody does.
And you will find it recognized at the stockholders meeting.
Goodnight. Have a good weekend.
You've done a wonderful job, Joe. Wonderful job.
Your work will be recognized.
You want to ride out with me, we'll ride out together?
- I have a dinner date. - Car is here, sir.
I take your point.
Let's all just do our job, and we will be rewarded
according to our 'gust deserts.
- I'm gone 'till Monday. - Yes, sir.
Have a good weekend.
Where did the car come from?
This car came from the estate
of the previous owner.
And then was returned to Aston Martin.
Aston Martin Lagonda, of course, merged in the mid-forties.
Compared to this four o' four liter Bentley.
The Bentley isn't synchro-mashed.
You have independent rear-suspension.
This car was considered the most decadent car of its day.
Why is that?
Look at the lines, and the speed...
May I help you?
Hello.
Sir, I'm sorry we're open only by appointment.
No, no... I guess I'd...
Well, I guess I'd better get out of your way.
Would you like us to drive it out to you this weekend?
On the island?
Someone should do a book of Japanese all over the world,
in front of the world's greatest monuments taking pictures
of each other.
That's what somebody should do.
We were supposed to have dinner last night. What happened?
Don't the laws of courtesy apply to the rich?
Well, you're a hell of a one to talk about courtesy.
I don't understand.
You had my sister waiting for you all afternoon.
- What? - What do you mean what?
I mean I don't know what you're talking about.
You were going to bring the book to her.
I did bring her the book.
You left it for her.
I... You... You told me you were going to bring the book to her.
I called, she was waiting for you.
- She waited for... - She waited all afternoon.
I never said I'd bring her the book.
Well, I believe that's what we settled on.
It certainly was not. I didn't... I didn't... Look.
Look, look, I didn't... Look.
I didn't want to intrude. Why would I want to intrude?
My understanding was, you asked me to drop it off.
That's not what we said.
Well, look here. It certainly is.
And I don't know what the thing is with you,
but I don't appreciate being accused of a lack of courtesy.
Seriously.
And isn't it possible you mis-remembered?
No, no.
Don't look at me like I want something from you,
I don't want anything from you.
You asked me to dinner.
Is it possible you got it wrong?
Huh? Is it possible?
It's possible.
Alright. That's all I want to say.
Thank you.
I was just in the neighborhood and I thought I'd drop by.
- Want some coffee? - Sure.
So as I said, I was just accidently
in the vicinity and...
Aren't you courteous and all for having me in?
Yes, well, good.
Make 'em right by my house. Right under my house.
Small world, huh?
Chock full of coincidences.
Nice knife.
Thank you.
Got it in the boy scouts.
Hell of an organization.
Ever get the urge to do something adventurous?
In spite of the ancient wisdom against inter-office romances?
Look. Hey, look, here's the thing.
I know you're in line for higher things.
You've got it written all over you, but...
But you never get anything in life if you don't speak out
for it, so here's what I wanted to say.
I am a hell of a person.
I'm loyal and true, and I'm not too hard to look at.
What do you think?
I think you're a lovely young woman.
You think so?
I've got eyes.
You've got very nice eyes.
Can you see without those things?
Sure.
Why don't you take them off?
- Yes? - Hello.
- Yes? - This is Jimmy Dell.
I called to say I'm sorry.
- You're sorry? - Yes. Do you know why?
Because I was wrong,
and I'd like you to accept my apology.
You're sorry?
Yes, I was wrong. I was dead wrong.
And I would be grateful if you would forgive me.
Yes, I do. Thank you.
Are you sure?
- Yes. - Good.
And if you're free tonight, my sister and I would love
to take you to dinner.
I'll send my car for you.
Okay. Thank you.
Good.
Oh, no. Your mother's sick or something.
No.
But, uh...
Yes?
I'm busy.
You're busy?
Yes.
Nothing I can say to that.
But um, it's lovely of you to stop by.
Well, I was in the neighborhood anyway.
If you ever feel the need of some company,
or you'd like someone to cook you dinner,
or dinner and breakfast,
one ten Mott street.
One ten Mott street, above a bakery.
Above a bakery?
Above the Sunshine Bakery.
Wouldn't that be just like me?
Thanks.
pool's too warm.
Hi. I'll throw on some clothes... Do you want a drink?
Sure.
Thank you.
Do you swim every day?
I try to.
My sister's going to meet us at the club.
Sorry, I got to catch up before they close.
Listen, I want to apologize.
It is possible I miss-remembered what we had...
No, that's not necessary.
It was me.
I'm sure it was my fault, and it was my fault.
I'm going to tell you why.
Want to hear a sad story?
Since we were kids, my sister and I,
all we ever had was each other.
It is still all we have.
How's that for melodrama?
Called her and told her I wanted her to meet a nice guy.
You know what, forget about it.
But lord, didn't you get hot today.
- Got on my high horse. - I suppose you did.
You got a little ahead of yourself.
Going on about, "You rich people."
Did I say that?
Yes, you did.
Before you throw your sister at me,
I think I should correct a miss-impression.
Listening.
- I'm just a working man. - Uh-huh.
What's a working man doing on St. Estephe? You a jewel thief?
My company brought me down.
Sell a million widgets or something?
Something like that.
Work for a living, that's your dark secret?
- That's it. - Well, that explains it.
What?
Your good manners.
Thank you.
- Noble savage. - Noble savage.
Not even one Swiss bank account?
Wouldn't even know how to open one.
Did you have a dog when you were young?
My mother had a dog.
What was his name?
Paddy.
You now have a Swiss bank account.
If anybody asks, Credit National Geneve;
code word, Paddy.
You just opened me a Swiss bank account?
Yes.
Why?
Lavish awkward gesture;
all of 15 Swiss Francs in it.
But you ever want to impress anybody, they can find out
you have a Swiss account.
But Swiss law prohibits the bank from revealing the balance.
Thus, are all men made equal.
Let me change, let's go meet the little sister.
Good evening, Mr. Dell.
You had a message from Mrs. DeSilva.
Thank you.
Well, it seems she's not feeling well.
Sends her regrets, can we meet her tomorrow
for tennis. You free?
Of course, I hope it's not...
Would you call Mrs. DeSilva, James, tell her tennis
tomorrow will be fine.
- Two o'clock? - Yes, sir.
- Good evening, Mr. Dell. - Hello George.
What's good tonight?
- It's all good, Mr. Dell - What'd you have?
- I had the venison. - What'd the chef have?
- He had the venison. - Then we'll have the venison.
We're in for a treat.
What is it?
It's Saturday, Mr. Dell.
Yes.
It's club members only tonight, sir.
Forget about it, big deal.
It's the board meeting after the meal.
It's an old rule, George.
The board members are here.
Let's go somewhere else.
Lord have mercy, who do you have to know in this town?
You're sending me out for a burger?
Mr. Dell, if there were anything I could do...
No, no, no. Saturday night.
No, members only.
Well, hell, give me a membership for him.
Go in the office and get a membership for him.
Please, James.
Listen, Jimmy.
It couldn't be less important.
What could be better?
- You really don't have to go... - It's my nature.
I'm a problem solver and I have a heart of gold.
Thank you, James.
Speaking of gold.
Got more bullion on it than...
We're not electing him Pope or anything, are we?
Just sign it and we'll... what is the phrase?
Chow down.
Mr. Ross, welcome to the club.
What do I owe you for the membership?
You know what? forget about it. Pay me when your ship comes in.
You know what? That may be presently.
Glad to hear it. Get a tip on a horse?
- Widgets. - Widgets...
We're developing a new...
Put it in the bank, and do the American thing.
Marry a rich widow.
We use to say, "A nymphomaniac with a liquor store."
That's right. Money isn't everything.
That's what my boss says.
- Does he? - That's right.
One thing my father taught me about business.
Always do business as if the person you're doing
business with is trying to screw you.
Because most likely they are.
And if they're not, you can be pleasantly surprised.
My father knew about business;
work hard, take all the over time you can get.
- You liked your father, huh? - I loved my father.
What'd he do?
Work like a dog all his life.
Well, he left you a hell of a legacy.
He'd be proud of you, Joe. I'm sure he would.
How can you say that?
Hm. People aren't that complicated, Joe.
Good people, bad people,
they generally look like what they are.
Is that's so?
It is.
Why are so many people having such difficulty?
That's the question that baffles me. Play some tennis tomorrow?
Two o'clock.
Hi. There you are.
How was your day?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Yes?
Transfer it from the "A" account.
Well, then take it. That's right. Thank you.
What have you done with her?
No, no, no, no. Close out the account.
That's alright. Just close it out and put it in the...
That's right.
Put it in the Channel Islands liquid. Thank you.
I don't care what the legal departments said about
verbal agreements, you tell them I said to write it down.
Who gets to do what to who.
Thank you. Where's the girl?
I thought you had her.
I ain't got her.
Let's go change.
You know what man said about verbal agreements,
they're not worth the paper they're printed on.
That's what my boss just said to me.
What?
I mean what is he talking about?
Well, I've got a, uh...
Thank you.
I did something for the company, and they owe me something.
I think I need to get it in writing.
I would. What do they owe you?
I think they owe me a lot of money.
What do you mean you think?
I invented something for them.
It's a work for hire. They own it.
Hello, is Mrs. DeSilva in?
Who told you it was a work for hire?
Well, they did.
- I... - You invented it?
Well, I...
I'm not a lawyer, I'm just a guy.
Tell me, you invented it?
- Yes. - Ah.
But I'm sure it belongs to them.
I was in their employ at the time.
No, this is her brother. Who am I speaking to?
There's no reason you should be so sure.
You may very well have a proprietary interest is this...
What is it?
She has the flu? She has the flu.
You have a contract with this company?
- I do. - Take it to a lawyer
who specializes in copyright and contract law.
- I have a friend who's a lawyer. - What's his name?
George Lang. He works for the company.
Due respect to Mr. Lang, but if I may,
You want an independent view.
- I'd be glad to... - No, look.
I appreciate it, please don't take it personally.
But I...
The phrase is you don't want to mix business with pleasure.
No, that's not it.
I don't know that I want to adopt an adversarial position
toward the company.
But you're in an adversarial position.
No, no. I think you're wrong.
I think you'll find that if what you've done for them
is valuable as you say it is.
If they're indebted to you morally but not legally,
my experience is they will give you nothing.
And they will begin to act cruelly toward you.
Why?
To suppress their guilt.
How's your sister?
Alright, but if you need some help, just ask,
She's sick, by the way. Down with the flu.
Lot of it going around.
Good morning. Oh, Mr. Ross.
A Mr. Julian Dell called for you.
Joe?
Would you step over here for a moment please?
Yes.
No message. Said he'll call back later.
Would you arrange to have some flowers sent for me, please?
- On company business? - No, from me personally.
To a Mrs. Emma DeSilva at the Wiltshire.
And a card. "I am most sorry."
Good morning, Mr. Ross.
Hi.
- The card? - Oh, um.
I'll get back to that later.
Yes, yes. I'd like to speak to you too.
I'll get back to that.
I've got my photos back, I have something to show you.
Just a second.
We would suggest you simply think of it
as a revalidation of your agreement with the company.
No, I don't understand why would I have to revalidate
(m)! agreement?
Well, this is purely a formality.
For any announcements before...
They want to be sure that the Process, Joe...
that any uncertainty about...
about any outstanding...
Look, there's several questions involved.
- Yes, what are they? - Questions of security.
There's no question of security.
There's only one copy of the Process, it's in my safe.
Leakages of the information.
We have a proprietary process here, worth over half...
Well, that's a legitimate concern.
But I still don't see why that means I should sign
your... what do you call it? Revalidate my agreement.
- Mr. Ross. - I'll tell you what I will do.
I'll be glad to show this to my lawyer,
and then respond to you. I'll thank you for your time.
Mr. Ross. Mr. Ross, if I may...
I don't see why you have to adopt an attitude.
- Thank you for your time. - These are legitimate concerns
of the company, Mr. Ross.
- And, if I may, your attitude... - My attitude?
My attitude? Which attitude is that?
Did you question my attitude when I developed the Process?
Can we all calm down?
No, wait a second. Wait a second.
We were calm. We were, then all of a sudden, Mr. Klein,
you're in here with your lawyers.
- All I... - All lam saying
is that I plan to take steps to ensure that I...
I'm asking for assurances,
and all I get is you want me to void my contract?
No, I'm going to make sure.
What are you talking about, Mr. Ross?
What are you... I hope you're not talking about any
kind of actions that would injure the company.
- What do you mean? - Any premature
out of school dealings.
- How dare you. - Because if we would...
How dare... How can you hire these people and then hide
behind their dirty skirts?
How dare you after all I've done for this company.
He wants the expanded projections of the next
two quarters. You got them handy?
- I sure do. - Good.
- Mr. Dell leave a number? - Uh, yes, sir.
Can you get him for me, please, Kathy?
It's ringing.
- Yeah? - Hello? Hello, Jimmy?
- Yeah. Yeah, that you? - Yes, hi.
- What is it? - Yes, I would very much like
to meet with the sort of person we talked about.
Yeah. You were right.
- Good, yes, tomorrow. - Where?
Lunch, the Plaza.
Oh, Mr. Ross. The flowers, sir.
- Oh, um. - Kathy,
could you get these out for me please?
Hi, uh, never mind. Forget about it.
I knew you'd be back, sir. For a tennis player, right?
Yeah, she... They play tennis, yes.
You take a check?
Certainly. Shall I wrap it?
Yes, please.
Don Budge at the French Open.
Thank you very much.
It's a lovely gift, sir.
I'm sure whoever receives it will cherish it
for the rest of their days.
(Ma)" help you, sir?
Yeah, I'd like to leave a package, please.
- Certainly. - For Mrs. DeSilva.
Mrs. DeSilva.
Oh, we have a package for Mrs. DeSilva.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, a package for Mrs. Emma DeSilva.
Young Mrs. DeSilva, the tennis player.
This is the only Mrs. DeSilva in the building.
This is Mrs. Emma DeSilva, sir.
Well, you see, you see, you see here, Mr. Ross.
I believe you owe me a dollar.
- I'm sorry, what? - Here is my album of my one day
in the sun. Here are some photos.
Here is my ticket, good for one free return,
anytime to the Caribbean island of St. Estephe.
And here, as you see, is our mystery man,
his lovely companion at his boat.
Which, as you see, has nothing, whatever, to do
with the seaplane.
So, you never know who anybody is, and it would pay
to be a little careful.
- Oh, my god. - What is it?
Oh, my god.
What is it?
What's the matter, Mr. Ross?
- Yes? - Yes, I'm calling about
that problem of yours, which we discussed.
Yes.
My lawyer wants you to bring your contract when you come.
He's gonna get you straightened out.
I appreciate it.
- Would you excuse me? - Of course.
And here's what I think. Whatever this "thing" is...
The "thing"?
The "thing" that you've done for the company?
That "thing" you invented?
- Yes. - Bring a copy of it, too.
Your sister going to be there?
She's out for the count, but thank you for asking.
Federal Bureau of Investigation. May I direct your call?
Special Agent Pat McCune, please.
I'm sorry, Agent McCune is out of the office.
It's very important that I speak with her.
Could you connect me, or tell me how to contact her
if you could?
One moment, please.
McCune.
Yes, I met you in the islands.
In the islands?
I'm calling about the man in the islands.
The fellow with the seaplane.
- The fellow with the seaplane? - That's right, yes.
Is he the reason you were down there?
Fellow with the seaplane calls himself Julian Dell.
Yes, that's right.
Give me your date of birth.
- What? - You heard me.
December 10th, 1960.
This fellow, Dell,
- are you with him now? - No.
Alright. I'm going to give you an address.
You meet me there. Do you have a pencil?
Um, yes.
Come by yourself. Don't talk to him between
now and then. Alright...
- Cold, huh? - What? Yeah.
Best thing to do for the cold is keep on moving.
Just keep walking, Mr. Ross.
Keep walking.
Anybody following him?
Uh-uh.
- My name is... - Yeah, I know who you are.
Ross, Joseph A, DOB, 12-10-60.
- Is that it? - That's it.
What was your mother's maiden name?
Bainbridge.
Call up the car.
What was her mother's maiden name?
Laval.
Get in the car, would you, Mr. Ross?
Hey, they start moving, give me a shout.
We'll catch them when we're rolling.
Gotcha.
Little walk in the park, Mr. Ross.
...and then to deliver the plans to him.
To deliver the plans.
The plans are for a project.
Hey, don't tell me if it's so damn secret.
I don't want to know.
If our friend's after them, I'm assuming they're valuable.
They're very valuable.
Alright, how much have you told this guy?
- I haven't told him anything. - How much have you told him?
Look, I haven't done anything illegal.
Yeah? You're in a lot of trouble.
I haven't done anything wrong.
Not from me, Mr. Ross. From him.
From him?
But you have an advantage.
If he doesn't know that you know.
What do you want to do?
I want to help you catch him.
Uh-huh, yeah.
Hurt you feelings, did he?
That's right.
- They're rolling. - Time to get to work.
- Where's the meet? - The Plaza, noon.
He's going to change it. Don't worry.
- Right. - Don't worry.
- Let's go. - How will I contact you?
No, we're going to be watching you. Keep your sense of humor.
Come on.
- Hello? - Hello, Joe. It's Jimmy.
Jimmy, how are you?
What, did you go out last night? I was calling you.
Yeah, I went to a movie.
What did you see?
Uh...
Listen, Joe, got to change the meeting.
The lawyer can't do noon.
- Can't do noon? - Make it at ten, can you?
- Ten a.m.? - And listen, listen.
Here's what he wants to do.
- Meet us in the park. - In the park?
By the carousel?
Why is that?
He says for secrecy, to protect yourself.
The carousel at ten, and bring the process.
Bring the process.
- Yeah? - We have it.
He wants to meet at the carousel at ten.
Do what he said, do everything he said.
But meet us first at 9:30, Navy fountain, 72nd street,
Central Park. Do you know it?
- Yes. - Navy fountain,
Central Park, 9:30.
Mr. Ross.
Would you point to your right
like you're directing me somewhere?
Just point to your right.
Thank you.
Now walk under the arches, please, and up the steps.
Get in the room.
Get in the room, sir.
Just get in the room.
It's an interesting set-up, Mr. Ross.
It is the oldest confidence game in the books.
The Spanish Prisoner.
So how far back it goes?
Glory days of Spain.
We're clear outside.
We're going to have you wear a wire.
A fellow says him and his sister, wealthy refugees,
left a fortune in the home country.
He got out, the girl and the money got stuck in Spain.
We're going to put this transmitter on you, Mr. Ross.
Here is her most beautiful portrait,
and he needs money to get her and the fortune out.
The man who supplies the money, get the fortune and the girl.
Oldest con in the world.
Intelligent people,
play on their vanity and greed.
Interesting twist. How are we doing for time?
We've got a couple of minutes.
You sure you want to do this?
- You sure you want to do this? - Alright.
Plug him in.
You're wearing a radio transmitter.
Here's what we need.
He will ask you for the material.
We need you to refuse to give it to him.
To refuse?
You have to refuse. What's this?
That's the formula for a process.
This is the real thing?
Your man said to bring it.
He told you to bring it?
He said to do whatever Dell told me to do.
I was just following his orders.
Well...
He's all set.
How are we doing?
The important thing is to refuse when Dell asks you for it.
Why?
Because he will then either bribe or threaten you,
and that's what we want on tape.
And that is what he will have to answer for.
You've been after him a long time.
That's why you were down at the islands.
This is a very bad actor, Mr. Ross.
We've been after him for some time.
We're very grateful for your help.
Can we have a reading, please?
Can you speak, please?
Just speak normally.
Hello, hello. Hello.
It's time.
We'll have you in sight all the time.
You want to put a vest on him?
We're out of time. We're out of time.
There is very little likelihood of physical danger.
- Should it start to break up... - If there's shooting...
If there is shooting, do not move.
- Do not move. - Don't move.
- What did I just tell you? - Do not move.
- It's time to go. - We appreciate your help.
The transmitter is good for three hours.
You wait until he offers you money, or he threatens you.
And then hand him the material.
Give him a word.
You get in trouble, just say the word, "happiness".
- Say it. - Happiness.
You have reached a non-working number.
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
this call is being recorded.
Please, can you patch me through to Special Agent
Pat McCune?
One moment.
McCune.
Yeah, I'd like to speak to Special Agent Pat McCune.
This is Pat McCune.
Hello?
Hello, can I help you?
And these were his living quarters?
Absolutely clean. Not a print anywhere.
Uh-huh.
It's a coat check room, Mr. Ross.
It's not the office of anything.
It's a coat check room.
It's a restaurant.
Always has been.
Never been a club.
The photos of our trip.
And this fellow getting off the sea plane.
Well, we joked about that.
What do you mean?
I said he was never on the sea plane.
That this fellow, Mr. Dell, was never on the sea plane?
That's what we joked about.
- You joked about it? - Yes.
And was he on the sea plane?
Well, I don't know if he was on the sea plane or not,
I just used it as an excuse to make conversation.
To make conversation with Mr. Ross.
- That's right. - Why?
I...
Are you having an affair with Mr. Ross?
What's...
Now, do you have any photographs
which we see this other man's face?
What's the matter?
Has something happened to Mr. Ross?
Not that I know of.
But I would like to ask you a few more questions
about your trip, if I might.
Alright.
The company paid for the trip?
That's right.
And you've been working for the company how long?
A few months. But is Mr. Ross alright?
As far as I know, he's fine.
But I don't understand.
The lieutenant...
This man didn't offer you anything?
I told you...
You purchased a first class ticket for Susan Ricci,
an employee in your office. Paid cash, a total of...
- The money was from Mr. Lang. - George Lang, your colleague?
He won it at the casino. He told me to...
- Give it to a charitable cause. - That's right.
And you thought that meant to buy a first class ticket?
- Well, perhaps I was... - You were what?
- Showing off. - Showing off to the girl?
- Why? - I don't know.
What does it matter, it wasn't my money. Ask George.
Well, he's ill, he's sick, right?
That's right.
Well, we'll have him in soon.
Bought some clothes down there?
That's right.
In the town of St. Estephe?
Paid cash again.
Yes, I went to the hotel office, changed some travelers checks.
Yes, I went into town and paid cash in the clothing store.
So Mr. Land didn't give you that money too?
No.
Why did you change the checks at the hotel office?
Why not just use them at the clothing store?
Why not?
I don't know.
You don't know why you did that?
- No. - Spent a lot of money
on those clothes.
I wanted to indulge myself.
Indulge yourself?
I did it reluctantly. You can ask Mr. Lang.
- He's your attorney? - He's an attorney.
He's an attorney for the company, he's my friend.
Why isn't he here?
Well, he's ill.
And he's going to clear you of everything?
I've done nothing wrong.
Does he have special knowledge of this case?
Yes he does, and when you see him...
You know, Mr. Ross, you're in a lot of trouble.
- I came to you. - And we're the least of it.
I promise you.
You can turn back the clock right now.
Give your employer back what you took.
If you still got it, and I'll deal with you.
But if we've got to turn this over...
What do you mean?
The Feds won't deal with you, you know?
They'll put you inside for all day.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about unreported income.
I don't understand.
I'm saying when the IRS...
I have nothing to hide from the IRS.
You purchased a first class ticket.
I've explained that. The first class ticket...
You got any undisclosed bank accounts?
- What? - Undisclosed bank accounts?
No.
No gold? No foreign money?
I'm just a salaried employee.
No swiss bank accounts?
I told...
You got at the Credit National Geneve a numbered account,
opened last week.
There's nothing in that account.
- Then what's it doing there? - It's just a joke. Jimmy...
God damn it man, won't you come clean?
Don't you know you're beat?
It's over. It's all done.
I've told you, look.
Believe me, look, look.
The man, he is, obvious...
You must have a file on him?
Who?
- Jimmy Dell. - Jimmy Dell?
Yes, you must have a record of him. He's a career criminal.
A record?
Where would we find such a record?
You want to give us a photograph, fingerprints?
His fingerprints?
You have something with his fingerprints?
Anything he touched? Anything?
Is that your signature?
Yes.
Planning a trip to Venezuela?
Why would I go to Venezuela?
They have no extradition treaty with the United States.
I have no intention with going to Venezuela.
This is a request for political asylum,
from the Republic of Venezuela.
You just told me you signed it.
Now, Mr. Ross, if I told you this story,
would you believe it?
I want a lawyer.
I would say so.
If the process is gone, if we lost it,
then my family and I...
This was my retirement, Joe.
This is what I work for.
I have nothing in the bank. If this goes...
Well, look.
I brought this on myself and I apologize.
If my actions drove you to this,
Mr. Klein, this is not the time.
- And it's really not required... - Be quiet.
I'm going to finish this.
I'm asking you, no, I'm pleading with you.
However you want to put it.
And whatever trouble you're in.
I swear I will help you.
I paid your bail.
I won't press charges. I've asked that my charges
be dropped.
Please bring it back to me.
Bring it back to me.
Don't let it go to the Japanese.
Mr. Klein.
Bring it back.
- Hello? - Hey, George.
- Yeah, Joe? - I need to talk.
I'm not well.
George, I need to talk to you.
I know you're sick, but...
A problem?
I need your help, and your advice.
So come over.
Yep.
George?
Hey, George. Get up.
George.
I'm in the living room.
And I thought that perhaps, that I had done it.
But you haven't done it. What are you talking about?
My greed.
You have done nothing.
Someone has singled you out to take advantage of you.
No, it has something to do with...
What are you doing? Who are you calling?
I'm calling in sick. I'm calling in sick.
Please enter your security ID number and the extension
of the person you wish to speak with.
Or leave a message after the tone.
This is Susan Ricci, I've got the flu.
I won't be in today.
Well, you're always getting it wrong.
That's why they picked you, isn't it?
You are the innocent, you are the victim.
I'm the boy scout.
Call it whatever you want if it makes you feel better,
but we're going get of it.
Now listen, here is what we're going to do.
What?
That's just Mrs. Ramone. Alright, now listen.
There's got to be some record of this Mr. Dell.
Some record of his face?
There's got to be something he left his fingerprints on.
And when we find that... Security cam.
There was a security camera at the hotel.
They said they save the tapes for insurance.
His face is on the videotape.
I have very little money.
Why don't you take this?
I don't have a passport.
You don't need a passport for St. Estephe.
You got a driver's license?
I left my bloody finger prints all over the apartment.
Uh-huh, well, that's what happened then, isn't it?
And I'm the only one with a motive.
Well, let's clear it up then. What do you think?
Don't you doubt me for an instant?
I don't doubt you for an instant, no.
Why?
Because I'm stuck on you.
I believe we have a problem.
Good morning, ma'am, sir.
Scream at me.
Well, this is the end!
This is the end, you stupid Mick!
Do you think I wanted to go?
DO you think I wanted to go to your drunken family?
You call it a holiday? It's a disgrace!
It's eight in the morning and you are drunk,
and you forgot the tickets.
And you expect me to drive home!
Ma'am, could you please pull your car over?
I'm not pulling the car over.
I'm not going to Toronto.
And I am not going anywhere but dump this disgrace at home!
You think it's charming?
You think it's all Irish and charming to behave this way?
You disgust me!
Alright, move on. Keep moving out of the terminal.
You bet I'm going to keep moving out of the terminal.
Don't you smile at me.
What is it?
They played me for such a fool.
Such a fool.
You know, you just had some bad training early on.
What do you mean?
Somebody screws around with you, you don't get morose,
you go out and get even with them.
Look, there's bad people in the world.
You just run into some of them.
How do I get to St. Estephe now?
The traditional way, you fly.
They're looking for me at the airports.
Not going to be looking for you in Boston.
How do you know?
Saint Patty's day in Boston,
not going to be looking to hard for much of anything.
I don't have a ticket.
Then it's a good thing I do.
You just take everything in stride.
Next time be born Italian.
It's the thing to do.
You've thought of everything.
Ain't hard to do, I'm fond of you.
What?
Crickey...
The ticket. Hey!
When in Rome.
Oh, yes... Erin go bragh.
Thanks.
Come on, Joe.
PAC Air announces that the...
Here.
Get the tape, come back safe.
Let's clear this thing up.
Listen.
I know you're innocent, and now you go prove it
and come back to me.
What will you do?
I'll worry about you.
Come on.
If you have your ticket,
you may proceed directly through security and to the gate.
- Excuse me, please. - Yes, sir.
Give it back!
I told you, you can have your book after you finished
your brownie and not until then.
And that's it, I don't want your fingerprints all over it.
That's enough.
I'm going to be here for an hour.
You'll be safe. They're not going to be looking
for you here.
Take the camera.
Take my camera, get a picture of the girl
who played the princess.
- Can that help? - It can't hurt.
And if you can think of any other thing,
something he touched or...
Do you have your ticket?
Thank you.
Yeah, sure.
Have you seen the paper this morning?
You see, that's why I won't go to New York.
In the older days, you didn't have to worry.
It is becoming more dangerous,
it's the statistics.
I told you, you cannot have the book
until you finish with your brownie.
I want it!
Oh, now fine, you've torn in.
You've torn your book.
You can move to the head of the line if you like?
- Let me help you. - Thank you.
Excuse me. Sorry, excuse me.
Now that's it, you've torn your book
and I'm not getting you another one.
And that is the last and final word about that.
- Why? - Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Right this way.
You've torn your book and I am not going
to get you another one.
We'll take the stroller, ma'am.
We'll need to put Teddy through the machine.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
Now I really need you to do what I tell you to do.
You've got to start listening to me.
Sir, we need to put your camera through. Your camera, sir?
It's going to be through any second, I promise.
Now, look.
It's going to be just fine.
You've gotten your fingerprints all over the book.
You've torn it and you've got your finger prints all over it.
Book...
Left his fingerprints on...
Left his finger prints on the tennis book.
See when I press the button, the bear will come through.
Excuse me.
The book. The tennis book.
He left his fingerprints on it.
What happened back there?
- He left his prints on it. - What?
Dell, must have left his fingerprints on the torn
tennis book.
Well...
We'll have to go back to New York and get it.
Indeed we will.
What happened back there?
How did they get on to you back there?
- The alarms at the airport. - I don't know.
No matter, no matter at all.
The important thing is to get you out of here.
Where are we going?
We'll get into Boston, and we'll figure it out.
I'm going to tell you what. No matter,
we'll get down to New York, we'll get the book.
What?
We're going to call, we're going to call up,
we'll get someone to take it to the cops. Who can we call?
Klein.
I'm going to call Klein. Right back,
I'm going to call Klein.
- Traveling? - Yes?
Ticket please.
Sir, I'm afraid this boat doesn't go that far.
What?
You got a ticket here for Venezuela.
Why would you want to go there?
Because they have no extradition treaty.
- I got Mr. Klein. - Yeah, come on.
You Okay?
- I'm fine, you? - Yeah.
- You found him? - What?
- Mr. Klein. - Yes, I found him.
Good.
He left his fingerprints on the book.
So he wasn't that smart, was he?
Say that again.
Now, why would someone do that?
Why would somebody go into a life of crime?
I don't know.
I think there are people we can't understand.
To steal what others worked for.
To kill?
We can't know, Joe...
Golly, Joe, I...
Oh.
Why?
Why? For the money.
What was the idea?
I was to be shot at the airport?
Can I ask what you plan to do with me?
I don't know.
Something probably understanding though, knowing you.
I suppose you think that makes me weak.
No.
I'm just so sorry I can't be that generous.
And we come to the end of a perfect day.
Clang-clang, end of the line.
What's he been telling you?
Sweet nothings.
Well, should we wrap it up?
So how does it end?
Well, it appears
you stole, you killed, you kidnapped her.
You did it all for the money.
And now overcome with remorse, you took your own life.
What could be more appropriate?
And if I don't cooperate?
I'm afraid you have no choice.
Why?
Because money makes the mare go.
Nobody lives forever.
Nobody lives forever, the important thing
is to enjoy yourself.
Kill him.
When we're finished...
Please. Please?
Didn't your mother have a dog named Paddy?
- What? - Didn't she have a dog
named Paddy?
Well then, this must be a big day for you.
See if you can get him to tell you where the process is.
We need to know where the process is.
You're doing fine.
I'm afraid we don't have too much time.
What did you do with the process?
That's your last request?
Yes.
Could you grant me that?
We took the report
And we sold it to Switzerland.
We put it on a CD-ROM.
Me? I get a hundred million in my bank account as soon
as you're dead.
You don't have to do this.
I enjoy doing it, actually.
Thank you for your concern.
Now I suppose you'll take the process back to Japan.
United States Marshall service, actually.
- Did you have to kill him? - Didn't kill him.
Stun gun.
Fast acting tranquilizer.
- Good shooting. - Stun gun?
- What if you missed? - Well,
then it'd be back to the range for me.
The whole thing was set up by your boss, Mr. Klein,
to steal the process.
Easy to steal it, hard to get away with the crime.
There were only two keys to the safe
and he didn't want to take it, you had to.
You've been watching the whole time?
Your tax dollars at work.
I want to see everything back to the office.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Nobody looks at a Japanese Tourist.
Can you help me?
You're the boy scout, can I be your good deed for today?
Can't you help me, Joe?
I'm afraid you're going to have to spend some time in your room.
