:53:00
we find it very hard to figure out what
your real intentions are.
:53:03
I don't know about you,
but I've never been able
to figure which goes with what !
:53:07
[ Morse, Vivian Laugh ]
:53:23
You know, there was a time when
we built ships the size of cities.
:53:26
- Men like my grandfather
made this country.
- Who ordered this ?
:53:29
[ Waiter ]
The gentleman did, ma'am. Bon appetite.
:53:32
These are escargot. It's French
for snails. It's a delicacy.
:53:35
Try it. David ?
:53:38
Mr. Lewis, if you were to get
control-- and I don't think
you will-- but if you did,
:53:43
what do you plan to do
with the company ?
:53:46
Break it up
and sell off the pieces.
:53:48
I'm sure you'll understand
I'm not thrilled at the idea...
:53:51
of your turning 40 years of my work
into your garage sale.
:53:55
At the price I'm paying for this
stock, Mr. Morse, you are going
to be a very rich man.
:53:59
I'm rich enough. I just want
to head my shipyard.
:54:06
Slippery little suckers.
:54:11
It happens all the time.
:54:15
I met your father.
What's his name ?
:54:18
- Carter.
- Yeah. Carter. Carter Lewis.
:54:23
He's not quite the bastard
everybody says he is.
:54:25
- No, I have the franchise on that.
- Does that make him proud ?
:54:29
I doubt it. It doesn't
really matter now. He passed away.
:54:34
Oh, I hadn't heard.
I'm sorry.
:54:36
I'm sorry too.
:54:38
Mr. Morse, you asked for this meeting.
What can I do for you ?
:54:42
- Leave my company alone.
- I can't do that.
I own ten million shares.
:54:47
- I'll buy your stock back.
- You don't have the money.
:54:50
We will; we're getting a contract
to build ten destroyers.
:54:53
There will be no contract.
The contract is now buried
in Appropriations Committee.
:54:56
- And it will remain there.
- And how the hell did you
pull something like that ?
