Joe Potter

Should we, uh, put all our cards on the table?

Jack Riley

Of course.

Joe Potter

This bear you brought up here has as much likelihood of making... little bear babies as Riley here. Ain't-a-gonna happen. But, on the other hand, thanks to you, I'm not exactly drowning in favorable publicity. So, here's my offer. I will set aside ten acres, turn it into a sanctuary. You can bring all your little animal buddies there. Plus, you'll be saving face. You won't have to admit you failed. You don't look like a fool.

John

Look, ten acres is ridiculous.

Joe Potter

That's the other offer.

Jack Riley

The deadline is Wednesday at 12:00 noon. Let me be clear. At 12:01, we'll be sending in every logger, every piece of logging equipment we've got. For Friday, there won't be a tree standing.

John

I need to run this by my favorite wife.

Jack Riley

Excellent idea. There's a pay phone in the back.

John

Excuse me.

Jack Riley

Calling the wife. Always a sign of weakness.

Joe Potter

Yeah.
