It's not like Mexico, Macintyre,
it's people like us.

:03:05
You're a Scot. You'll be dealing
with your own people.

:03:09
You won't be dealing
with a bunch of Indians.

:03:12
Cal, will you look after
Africa while I'm gone?

:03:16
Just the west coast deals.
Sarah's got the files.

:03:19
We've got the Congo development
minister's tit in the wringer

:03:23
so I think we can close this deal.
:03:25
'What about the tanker franchise?'
:03:28
I want franchises in all territories.
:03:30
And put a five-day deadline
on the offer.

:03:33
- 'You got it.'
- You want to eat?

:03:36
Cal, I've got a confession to make.
I'm not Scottish.

:03:41
Man, oh, man!
Think I should tell Fountain?

:03:45
Hell, no. Don't spoil the fun.
Take the trip.

:03:49
My folks changed their name
when they arrived from Hungary.

:03:53
They thought Macintyre was American.
:03:55
Jesus, Mac, you're not a Scotchman,
you're not a Texan.

:03:59
I can't even pronounce my last name.
:04:02
Comets are important. They could be
the key to the universe.

:04:06
What will you call this comet,
Happer?

:04:10
The Happer Comet
or Happer's Comet...or Comet Happer.

:04:14
I thought it might be!
:04:16
The whole world will weep with
gratitude when the big day comes.

:04:20
Mr Happer's got his comet. Hooray!
:04:23
What an empty, hollow,
wasteful activity.

:04:26
You're chasing comets around the sky.
Is your life so complete?

:04:30
What about a wife?
Children? A family?

:04:34
Are these human goals
too simple for you?

:04:38
Get out, Moritz! That's enough.
:04:40
I've got some meetings.
Out! Out! Out!

:04:43
Yes, sir. Uh, it seemed to go pretty
well today, didn't it, sir?

:04:48
It was OK, Moritz.
:04:50
I think we could
build up the sessions...

:04:52
at the same fee, of course.
:04:55
We're at a crucial stage.
:04:57
Speak to Mrs Wyatt.
Fix a half-hour for Friday.
