START: BEN: You got your free legal work from my firm; now I’m not going to be on your board of directors too.
NED: I got our free legal work from your firm by going to Norman and he said, “Of course, no problem.� I asked him, “Don’t you have to put it before your committee?� And he said, “Nah, I’ll just tell them we’re going to do it.�
BEN: Well…you got it.
NED: All I’m asking for is the use of your name.
[...]
END: NED: Two million dollars--for a house! We can’t even get twenty-nine cents from the city. You still think I’m sick and I cannot allow that any longer. I will not speak to you again until you accept me as your equal. Your healthy equal, Your brother!
