0:00:00: Good morning.

0:00:02: Ah!

0:00:05: Greg.

0:00:07: Drink?

0:00:08: Of, uh, alcohol?

0:00:10: Uh-huh.

0:00:11: Um, sure.

0:00:13: I mean, it's early, but, uh, yeah,

0:00:15: I think I'll actually have me a nice glass of rum and Coke.

0:00:20: Kerry!

0:00:22: Can we bring, uh, Greg some Coca-Cola?

0:00:25: No, it's fine, really.

0:00:26: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

0:00:28: She doesn't have to...

0:00:29: No, what Greg wants, Greg must have.

0:00:33: Thank you.

0:00:34: Like, so kind.

0:00:36: I don't know.

0:00:39: You and Kendall have been hanging around a lot.

0:00:43: Correct?

0:00:44: I am.

0:00:45: Um, it's purely social, you know.

0:00:47: The thing is, your position at Waystar

0:00:50: could become complicated

0:00:52: if you get too associated with them.

0:00:55: Hmm?

0:00:57: You can see that.

0:00:59: Strong, wow.

0:01:01: Nice and strong.

0:01:02: Strong one.

0:01:03: Strong for a man.

0:01:04: The FBI, as you know,

0:01:06: have been poking around our offices.

0:01:09: Greg, you've probably never done this before,

0:01:13: and we're all, all very, very concerned.

0:01:18: I don't want to see you hurt.

0:01:20: We need our lawyers all working together,

0:01:23: one big happy family,

0:01:24: joint defense agreement,

0:01:25: big, strong umbrella.

0:01:28: Keeps you dry.

0:01:30: That, it's interesting.

0:01:31: It's very interesting.

0:01:32: I think I would have to speak to my lawyer, uh, Pugh,

0:01:37: who is often unavailable during day, during daytime.

0:01:41: We have the paperwork ready for you to sign.

0:01:45: Right.

0:01:47: So, okay, I guess, um...

0:01:52: My question would be,

0:01:55: what's it worth,

0:01:57: in terms of the me of it all?

0:02:00: What do you want?

0:02:01: What do I want?

0:02:02: I mean, what can I get?

0:02:06: That's not the way it works.

0:02:09: Well, maybe it is.

0:02:11: Look at you, shaking like a fucking leaf.

0:02:15: Listen, you have some leverage, just a little,

0:02:19: so why don't you fuck off

0:02:21: and think about what you want to ask for to come on side,

0:02:25: and I'll see what I can do, okay?

0:02:28: Fair.

0:02:29: Fair deal.

0:02:30: Not a deal, but a plan.

0:02:33: Shall I, uh, chug this?

0:02:36: I can chug it.

0:02:45: Good. Thank you, Logan.

0:02:50: Oh, good.

0:02:52: I don't know how you did it back in the 60s.

0:02:55: Different times.

0:02:56: Different times, indeed.

0:02:58: Better times?

0:02:59: Not, not for all.
