:03:01
We have had our usual argument
:03:03
and now the matter is settled.
:03:05
Is it?
:03:09
Beth, listen to me.
He isn't for you, believe me.

:03:12
If you insist upon seeing him,
I have a right to express my feelings.

:03:16
- You can't control my life.
- Your life, in this case,

:03:19
is tied in with a company employee.
:03:21
What difference does that make?
He's an honest, hardworking...

:03:25
Yes. He's ambitious, intelligent.
He's a good attorney.

:03:28
And he has a flair for
the advertising business.

:03:32
And he's also smart enough to know
a golden opportunity when he sees it.

:03:38
You're not Father.
:03:40
No, I'm not your father.
:03:43
I'm your brother, and if your choice
in men friends were more mature,

:03:48
I would stay out of your life.
:03:50
- You don't know how to stay out of my life.
- I won't let you be used.

:03:54
So I've taken the appropriate steps.
:03:57
- Charles, is the car ready?
- Appropriate steps?

:04:00
Bryce! What have you done?
:04:02
I've written to Peter Hamilton. He'll receive it
when he gets back from Atlanta today.

:04:06
What?
:04:07
I told him that if he continues to see you,
:04:10
his employment with
Ellison Chadwick will be terminated.

:04:13
What? You've threatened him?
:04:15
I won't be home for dinner.
Don't wait for me.

:04:18
He won't care if you fire him!
:04:25
No?
:04:28
Then let me ask you a question, Beth.
:04:31
If your name wasn't Chadwick
:04:33
and you didn't have all of this...
:04:37
do you really think that Peter Hamilton
would give you a second look?

:04:46
Now, I'm sorry if I sound cruel.
I don't mean to be.

:04:53
But the sooner you face the facts...
:04:56
the better.
:04:59
And the cheaper it will be for all of us.
