- I hope it wasn't too difficult for you.

- I'm used to difficult patients.

You have a magnificent detachment,

Miss Howell.

I wish I might achieve it.

I'm glad you weren't upset

by my wife's rather vivid imagination.

No, I wasn't upset, but I wondered...

I think I should leave.

Under the circumstances,

I think it would be better.

This has happened before,

Miss Howell, many times before.

There's every reason

to believe it will happen again.

My wife is fully convinced

that I spend all my free time...

making advances to her nurses...

or any other female who enters this house.

Your leaving wouldn't change that.

It would, however, deprive me

of your very capable presence.

If you can bring yourself to ignore

these fancies of Mrs. Graham...

I'd like very much to have you stay.

- All right, I'll stay.

- Good, it's settled.

I won't bother you any further

with my troubles.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Leave the rest to me, Mr. Graham

will want his breakfast.

- Any luck?

- Caught two trout.

I thought I'd save some money and

catch my own breakfast. Good idea.

- How long were you out?

- About three hours.

Figuring what your time's worth

those fish cost you $1,000 apiece.

I got cheated on Junior.

He's only worth about $500.

How's Mrs. Graham this morning?

Feeling well enough to come

down here for breakfast.

Good.

That's David Sutton.

Hi, Dean.

- Catch anything?

- Enough for breakfast.

- Can I see you a minute?

- Sure.

You're going to talk business,

I'd better go.

Sutton won't mind. I'd like you to meet him.

Some other time, perhaps.

I have things to do.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- You know each other?

- Yes, sure.

I saw you out fishing. I thought

I'd drop over and say hello.

- How are Pauline and the kids?

- They're fine. What's on your mind?

You remember our little talk

Saturday at the club?

- Vaguely.

- Could we finish it?

Operator, I'm waiting

for that call to Montreal.

All right, I'll hold on.

- Some coffee?

- No, thanks. I've had breakfast.

- Don't let me interrupt yours, now.

- I won't.

Now, what about this Canadian deal?

Well, I know your company is surveying

a new field up there.

I know you're within six months

of production.

All right, I'll hold on.

How do you know all this?

Subterranean rumbles from the underground.

It's true, isn't it?

It might be. Why?

What particular rumble interests you?

That cracking plant

that you're going to build.

You'll need a structural engineer,

a good one.

Me.

Someday we must have a long chat

about your sources of information.

Maybe we will. Meanwhile,

I'm looking for a job. That one.

No, seriously, Dean. You know my record.

You know I'm as good a man as you could get.
