:49:21
Downlink.
:49:25
- Yeah, hello, Ted.
- You know, Jack...

:49:28
it's damn near 4:00 p. m.,
and I haven't heard nor seen no helicopter.

:49:33
You gotta give us some time.
We're having trouble with the bulldozer.

:49:36
What bulldozer?
:49:38
Who the fuck asked for a bulldozer?
:49:40
Come on, Ted, we're both looking out
at the same field.

:49:44
Where's the helicopter supposed to land?
:49:46
All that old junk, those old fence posts...
:49:48
we gotta clear an area for 100 feet around.
:49:50
I know you want the helicopter
close to the building.

:49:53
You're damn right I do.
:49:54
You see?
:49:57
- What about a pontoon chopper?
- A pontoon chopper.

:50:01
- I'd have never thought about that.
- You damn well should've thought about it.

:50:04
There's a goddamn river
out back here behind the building.

:50:07
- Why, yes, but that's the Niagara River.
- Yeah, I know it's the Niagara River, Jack.

:50:11
Good for you.
Because I had no idea till I got here.

:50:14
They tell me the water is very fast,
the current.

:50:17
Which just stands to reason, we're not
that far downriver from Niagara Falls.

:50:21
You might wanna land a helicopter,
but you'd be swept downriver right away.

:50:25
You see? That's why we need the bulldozer.
:50:29
Jack? Tell me something, Jack.
:50:32
In Houston, with them fellows,
what'd they ask for?

:50:35
They ask for a helicopter, bulldozer?
:50:38
- They wanted a lot of things, Ted.
- I know, I mean, we saw it on C-Span...

:50:42
all those fellows in Lewisburg
in prison there.

:50:44
We was watching the hearings and...
:50:46
You could hear a goddamn mouse fart
when you was on TV.

:50:49
- Did you know that?
- No, I didn't.

:50:51
Yeah, you were on the stand
for, what, three days?

:50:54
- Three days.
- See, I knew that.

:50:55
But, you know,
the thing that bothered me, Jack...

:50:58
was they never asked you
if you thought that you fucked up.
