several shares per year in order
to cover the checks that you ...
- Who gave you the right to do that ?
- You did, sir.
- I did not!
- Yes, you did.
See, 15 years ago, when you told me
that you wished to live on $200,000 ...
despite the fact that the income
on your trust fund was only $90,000 ...
That is beside the point.
This check must be paid.
Do you realize that this check has
bounced, Mr Beckett? I mean, bounced!
- As though I were some indigent ...
- Yes, I know the check has bounced.
It is not the first check that
you've had bounced, Mr Graham.
I personally have covered three overdrafts
- I'd like to show you
this check - of $550.
This is of my own money, not the
firm's money, but that is not ...
a policy that I wish
to continue in the future.
Who gave you the right to do that?
Well, you did, Mr Graham.
You mean to say that I'm now in
the position of owing you $550?
No, no, no, don't, don't, please,
don't think of it as a loan, Mr Graham.
I have no more hope of receiving it than
you'll ever have of scraping it up.
Oh, thank you very much, Mr Beckett.
May I say that if you expected even
the smallest amount of gratitude ...
you have wasted $550
of the excessive fee I pay you ...
for the tiny services you render.
Mr Graham.
I would like to explain something to you.
I have given you $550 of my own money
for only one reason ...
Disliking you as intensely as I do,
I wanted to be absolutely certain ...
that when I looked back
upon your financial downfall ...
I could absolve myself completely
of any responsibility for it.
And $550 is a relatively
small price to pay ...
for the knowledge that I've
had nothing to do whatsoever ...
with your financial downfall.
You have brought yourself
to penury entirely on your own.
I don't suppose you care
to give me an additional $6,000 ...
guilt permanently?
- You're perfect.
- Thank you very much, Mr Beckett.
lend me some money?
Mr Graham, during the 10 years that
your uncle served as your guardian ...
he confided in me almost daily ...
that he thought your father had placed him
in that position as an act of spite.
I don't think he'll give you a nickel,
Mr Graham.
And considering your gift for
close personal relationships ...
I don't think anyone else will, either.
Thank you very much, Mr Beckett.
Here you are. This will cover the
overdraft of $550 that I owe you.
You will have these, too.
They're non-filter.
Smoke them in good health.
I'm poor.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Oh, Mr Graham, how are you?
Nice to see you.
- What can I do for you, Mr Graham?
