Proof of Life Page #2
l guess all the girls jumped on that.
So, it's just us.
Better late than never.
So, lvy tell you?
Houston.
This morning. All of them.
Fellner chartered a plane.
What's in Houston?
New money.
Peter, look.
How did it get so bad so fast?
Come on, man.
Where the hell have you been?
l've been trying to build a dam.
Pick your head up every now and then,
take a look around.
You're building a charity water project.
As for the company, you're nothing
but a humanitarian window-dressing.
Quad Carbon came down here looking
for a lucky break and we got nailed.
We've a billion-dollar pipeline
that hasn't spit out a gallon yet.
Oil prices are going through the roof.
We can't take advantage of it.
You know, market close today...
...Quad Carbon stock down $10 and falling.
The vultures are circling.
Which vulture is in Houston?
lt's Octonal.
They're the only ones big enough
to come and get this thing on track.
Peter, look!
Peter, look!
Maybe you missed it,
but this happens to be a big deal for me.
l think I know that.
You sure don't act like it.
Maybe it's a sign. Maybe it's just a sign
that we should go home.
You tell me. This all falls apart,
this goes away, what was the point?
-The point of what?
-l don't know. How about everything?
How about Africa? How about Egypt?
How about Thailand?
How about eight years of sh*t postings?
Eight years of working for a**holes.
Eight years of working
on somebody else's bad ideas.
Wait. I don't get it here.
Suddenly the last eight years,
that's just all sh*t now?
-ls that what I said?
-l thought...
...we were doing what we wanted to do.
l thought we were living our lives together.
That's not what I said.
This isn't just a job!
This is everything
l have prepared for my entire life!
lf Jerry's right, if it's Octonal, they come in
and take this over, l'm f***ed!
l wouldn't get too upset about it.
of their very own.
Octonal doesn't build dams, they kick ass.
They don't care about these people.
lt's all about profits.
l don't get it. What is the surprise here?
You wanted to work for an oil company.
l don't work for an oil company.
That's not what l'm doing here!
l'm building a dam
that will save people's lives!
You are building a dam so an oil company
can get a pipeline contract.
-Who cares who pays for it?
-Apparently, no one!
You're drunk.
No, Peter.
This isn't us.
-Let's just go home.
-Great.
That is so supportive.
You don't like this place either.
-l like the project.
-l don't have a project!
Then find a f***ing project!
Damn.
Use your talent, your experience.
There's got to be 25 agencies
working down here.
There's food projects, health-care projects.
