[00:02:06]You're working Sundays now?

[00:02:10]Jack, they just sent you down here every weekend.

[00:02:14]Losing money on this job, Jack?

[00:02:17]A bit.

[00:02:19]How's it going, mate?

[00:02:25]Sometimes I'm up.

[00:02:26]Sometimes I'm down.

[00:02:28]It all comes out in the end.

[00:02:33]I got a call from a guy today I used to work for. Offered me a job.

[00:02:49]World's a [ __ ] up place.

[00:02:54]Actually, I was thinking about uh staying on with you, Jack.

[00:03:00]My old job, I was scared all the time.

[00:03:03]Quarterly cost reports, young guys coming up, losing an account, uh who was getting ahead of me. I'll be honest with you, Bobby. Yeah.

[00:03:14]You should take that job.

[00:03:17]You're a shitty carpenter.

[00:03:19]>> [laughter] >> Chris.

[00:03:26]Can't make these damn things any lighter?

[00:03:36]I uh I can't pay you for today.

[00:03:42]I guess we better get started then, huh?

[00:03:45]I will win. Why?

[00:03:49]Why?

[00:03:50]Because I have faith, courage, enthusiasm.

[00:03:54]I will win. Why?

[00:03:58]Because I have faith, courage, enthusiasm. I [music] will win. Why? Because I have faith, courage, enthusiasm.

[00:04:11]>> [laughter] >> Can we get a pencil sharpener?

[00:04:15]Sure. The kind with a crank. Oh, the old-fashioned kind. Oh, yeah.

[00:04:20]McClary Maritime Associates. What?

[00:04:23]Uh we don't have any associates yet, but what the hell, it sounds good. Printers from the Dark Ages. I'll stop by Staples tomorrow. I'll get a new one. Okay.

[00:04:34]Nice office.

[00:04:35]It's not much.

[00:04:37]If I make the overhead the first year, I'll be happy.

[00:04:41]Ran into um Ben Wilson the other day. He said you were going out to possible investors. Yeah.

[00:04:48]I'm going to make a bid for Gloucester.

[00:04:49]The shipyard. Yeah.

[00:04:52]Allied doesn't want it. I've already got the skilled labor. I'll just renegotiate with the unions. Start slow, see if we can grow.

[00:05:01]I think there's a business there.

[00:05:07]Anytime for lunch Tuesday?

[00:05:12]No.

[00:05:17]I sat in rooms and uh talked about how to destroy people's lives.

[00:05:23]I thought I could do more from the inside.

[00:05:26]Save a few jobs here and there.

[00:05:29]If I didn't do it, somebody else would.

[00:05:37]Keep me in mind for a possible associate.

[00:05:42]I think I may be looking for a job.

[00:06:16]Say hello to Jean for me. All right, look.

[00:06:20]Highly employable.

[00:06:29]Go on, you don't want to be late.

[00:06:32]Come here.

[00:06:34]I love you.

[00:06:37]All right.

[00:07:20]All right. Hope you had your fellows sitting around the house all day watching Price is Right. Time to get working now. Don't complain about the luxury accommodations here. Jean's basically [music] kicked us out of the staying on his Amex card. If you want to impress a client, take them to the upper crust. Buy them a slice. Diane, we need to do [music] some seller financing and long-term lease backs if we want to stay competitive.

[00:07:41]So, run financials on our old customers, vendors, capital expenditure budgets, future needs. [music] >> Okay. Come on, Al.

[00:07:48]We need our union guys back.

[00:07:49]>> How many? I don't know. Hundred? Like that. Start with the local. See who's available. I'm betting [music] everyone.

[00:07:55]Mechanics, machinists, fabricators, welders. Engineers. Start with the crew chief.

[00:08:00]If we work as hard in here every day as we did trying to get a job, we're going to be all right.

[00:08:05]What's the worst thing they could [music] do?

[00:08:06]Fire us?

[00:08:43]>> [music] [music]
