:40:00
- You say it like it's hard to understand.
- Well, it is.
:40:02
It's very simple. I sell gasoline.
I make a small profit.
:40:05
With that I buy groceries,
the grocer makes a profit.
:40:08
They call it earning a living.
You may have heard of it somewhere.
:40:12
I may have, but it wasn't from you.
:40:15
- I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Whit.
- My feelings?
:40:18
Ten years ago, I hid them somewhere
and I haven't been able to find them.
:40:21
Where did you look?
:40:23
In my pocketbook.
:40:26
Nice, isn't it?
:40:27
Yeah, it must have set you back
a few shells.
:40:31
Always worrying about my expenses.
:40:33
It's a nice view.
Am I here to admire it?
:40:35
Not exactly.
:40:38
I need your help.
:40:39
Like old times.
:40:41
I always liked you.
:40:43
You liked me because you could use me.
You could use me because I was smart.
:40:47
I'm not smart anymore.
I run a gas station.
:40:49
I like the view.
:40:51
Can you still listen?
:40:52
I can hear.
:40:54
Well, you told me about your business.
:40:56
Well, mine is a little more precarious,
and I earn considerably more.
:41:00
So I've heard.
:41:01
So has the government.
:41:03
Well, this may sound ridiculous,
but you could pay them.
:41:06
- That would be against my nature.
- All right, forget I said it.
:41:09
So I collaborated with a certain man
who understands these things.
:41:13
He saved me quite a bit of money,
$ 1 million.
:41:16
I didn't particularly trust him,
so I paid him well, but he's unhappy.
:41:20
- He wants more money.
- Well, he saved you a lot.
:41:23
Oh, I appreciate it. I always remember
what any man did for me.
:41:27
Or didn't.
:41:28
Perhaps. The point is that
now he wants 200,000.
:41:32
Or he could get 10 percent of the million
from the government, if he turns you in.
:41:36
You're up on these things.
:41:37
- Has he got anything to trade?
- Well, he has the income tax records.
:41:41
But I don't see why I should buy them
when I might persuade you to get them.
:41:45
- Then I'd have them.
- I know.
:41:47
But I can trust you.
:41:49
You know, I don't think
you can trust anybody.
:41:51
You better go in there
and get them yourself.
:41:53
- I'd rather you did it.
- I pass.
:41:56
You don't like it?
:41:57
No, I just can't get away
from my business.
