:57:03
You're firing me?
:57:06
Yeah, I'm letting you go, yes.
:57:12
Why?
:57:13
Now, look, Ted, this is
a very painful thing for me.
:57:16
I've been getting a lot of pressure
from the guys upstairs.
:57:20
There wasn't anything I could do.
:57:22
I think it's better this way.
:57:25
If I took your stripes...
:57:26
...if I put you on a schlock account,
you'd hate it, and me for doing it.
:57:31
This way it's a clean break.
That's the best thing.
:57:34
You know my wife is fighting
for custody?
:57:37
You know that we're going to court?
:57:39
Do you know what my chances are
if I'm out of a job?
:57:43
I understand that you're upset--
:57:45
I don't want to beg, but I'm
asking you, please, as a friend.
:57:50
I'm asking you.
:57:51
You're an extremely bright guy.
You've got a hell of a talent.
:57:55
You're gonna land on your feet.
You're gonna survive.
:57:59
Teddy, look.
:58:02
I know you may be short on cash.
:58:04
No big hurry about paying this back.
:58:07
Shame on you.
:58:59
Daddy, the phone's ringing.
