DOE on Bitterbuck.
:22:05
You didn't come down here
to hand me a DOE.
:22:08
I had an angry call from the
state capitol about 20 minutes ago.
:22:13
Is it true you ordered Percy Wetmore
off the block?
:22:15
It is.
:22:17
Now, I'm sure you had reason, Paul. . .
:22:21
. . .but like it or not, the wife
of the governor has only one nephew. . .
:22:25
. . .and his name is Percy Wetmore.
:22:27
Little Percy calls his aunt. . .
:22:29
. . .and squeals like a schoolroom sissy.
:22:34
He mention he assaulted a prisoner
this morning out of sheer petulance?
:22:38
Broke three fingers
on Eduard Delacroix's left hand.
:22:41
I didn't hear that.
I'm sure she didn't either.
:22:43
He is mean, careless and stupid. . .
:22:45
. . .and that's a bad combination
in a place like this.
:22:48
Sooner or later, he'll get
somebody hurt or worse.
:22:51
Stick with it, Paul.
:22:53
It may not be much longer.
:22:54
I have it on good authority that Percy
has an application in at Briar Ridge.
:22:59
Briar Ridge? The mental hospital.
:23:02
Administration job.
:23:03
Better pay.
:23:06
Then why is he still here?
:23:10
He can get that application
pushed through.
:23:14
With his connections, he could have
any state job he wants.
:23:18
You know what I think?
:23:22
I think he just wants
to see one cook up close.
:23:28
Well, he'll get his chance, then.
Won't he?
:23:33
Maybe then he'll be satisfied
and move on. In the meantime. . .
:23:37
. . .you'll keep the peace?
:23:39
Of course.
:23:41
Of course.
:23:44
Thank you, Paul.
:23:49
Hal. . .
:23:52
. . .you give Melinda my love, okay?
:23:54
I'm sure that x-ray will turn out
to be nothing at all.
:23:59
You bet.
