You are qualified. Some honorable friends of ours even vouch for you. Allow me to make you a proposition. May I? I'm listening. I can offer you a subordinate position. Now, I understand this doesn't satisfy your desires, but being affiliated with a company like ours will benefit you nonetheless. You can start as an apprentice and maybe someday over time earn that cavity drink. Now, shaking my hand is as valuable as any signature. And most important for you, your problems become my problems. So how about it? Sure. Yeah. But, if I may, if I am qualified, why a subordinate position? As you just mentioned, your people can attest to me. Have I done something to offend you? I've offered you the best possible proposition. And you turn me down? Is there a problem? Well, yes. You see, I applied for a specific position. I qualified for that specific position. And now you're here offering me a lesser position. Son, if you weren't for my assistant, you wouldn't be here right now. Now, I've made my final offer. What's it going to be, sir? I see what's going on. What exactly is that? You have someone else in mind. As a matter of fact, I do. What a shame. Excuse me? What a damn shame. There's not another person here who could do what I would do for this company. You're the boss of the largest company around, and you plan to just compromise all of it. Watch yourself. I would be a great asset to this company. And here you will. Just create problems. Now, I'm here because I was told that you were fair. Fair? What are you talking about fair? There's no such thing as fair. There never has been, never will be. If you want fair, then go build something on your own. This is my company, and I do as I please. Now, if you have a problem with it, do something about it. What's it going to be? Was that the best excuse you can come up with? Oh, you're a tough guy. I do things to you. You can never imagine. You remind me about myself a little. Like a boss of steel. You're ambitious. I like that. But even I deserved to be knocked down a peg or two. You messed up, and I should punish you. I'll wait. I don't like an easy way. But I will advise you, be very careful who you offend. You never know who's standing in front of you. Now listen, if I don't get some answers soon, and I mean real soon, then I'm going to start dealing in pain. Do you understand? I don't know what you're talking about. What does your father plan to do next? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm surprised that you made it so easy for us to grab you. What? Daddy's little baby boy doesn't warrant security? That's okay. You don't have to give up anything willingly. I understand. But every man has their thumbscrews. And I'm going to turn yours until I get some answers. Take him to the spot. I don't know anything. Get off me. No. Hey. All right. I just came out of an interview with the big boss. He turned me down for his son. All right. That's the truth. Just an interview, huh? Yes. And he turned you down? Yes. Amongst other things. He turned me down. A position I'm qualified for. For his beloved son. Never even met the big boss before today. All right. Hello, friend. Call me the biggest boss. How would you like a position in my company? You'd be a great asset.
