:22:00
But if they don't want Japan to buy it,
don't sell it.
:22:04
- I will assist you in whatever way I can.
- I'm very grateful.
:22:09
Tomorrow at noon for golf?
:22:11
Tomorrow at noon.
:22:15
I will try to make it harder
for you to let me win.
:22:28
Senator. Are you comfortable
with this new position?
:22:31
Absolutely.
Because I don't view it as a new position.
:22:36
I view it as a modification...
:22:38
That's exactly what it is. A modification.
:22:41
The response has been ten to one
in favor of the way I've...
:22:44
modified my position.
:22:46
Modified? It's a total reversal.
:22:48
Oh, no. Not at all.
:22:51
It's simply a...
refinement of my earlier views.
:22:55
Foreign trade invigorates America.
:22:57
I've always been a proponent off air trade...
:23:00
But you were against the sale
because it put our advanced weaponry
:23:04
in the control of the Japanese.
:23:06
Now, that's... really vastly simplified.
:23:10
Ah! More affirmations.
:23:13
Oh, Senator Shanley.
It must have killed him to write this!
:23:16
All the polls have been positive.
:23:19
Ah! But I didn't bring you here
to discuss politics and economics.
:23:23
I know how that must bore men like you.
:23:26
I just wanted your input, gentlemen.
:23:28
I know you're investigating events
that took place at the Nakamoto party.
:23:33
I wondered if you felt there was any linkage
between those unfortunate events
:23:38
and the proposed sale of MicroCon.
:23:41
We're not aware of any linkage.
:23:44
Has Nakamoto done anything unfair
or improper in promoting this sale?
:23:49
Not that we're aware of, no.
:23:51
Good.
:23:53
Your investigation is concluded, then?
:23:57
Yes.
:23:59
Good!
