- Dick. Is he a pain in the rear? Yes. Does he have a few screws loose? You bet. But that doesn't mean he's going to do us any harm. - How long are you going to keep this up, Mac? - Keep up what? - The whole "everything is fine" act. There's a wolf in the henhouse. We let him in! I never should have listened. - We have a contract for just this sort of thing, Dick! - I should have trusted my gut. - So it's my fault, huh? Just like the movie theater? Well, I'm sorry I wanted you to have your dream.
