kick me out after 30 years.
I'll take an AK-47 to this
fuckin' place, first!
What were you going
to do? Let me...
read about it in
tomorrow's Journal?
We're in the middle
of something here--
You closed two of my ship yards?
Consolidating divisions has been
under discussion for months.
Yeah, and I told you
it was a shitty idea.

into consideration.
It's my goddam division!
It's my goddam company!
Would you excuse us
for a moment, please.
Don't embarrass me like that...

I'm gone one day and you
gut one of my divisions?
Stock's stalled, revenues are flat.
The entire economy is flat -

all three of them.

any growth next year?
Three thousand jobs?
Gene, we're not some shitty
little shipyard any more!
I'm not going to keep pouring
money into a losing operation.
We innovate, we re-tool--
