I'm sure you have all kinds of things

offshore for a rainy day.

You're f***ing crazy.

If you sign it, then I will tell your lie.

I will say that I was with you

that night all night here.

And you will be free and clear.

And the people that need our money

will get it.

That's my price.

You're out of your mind.

I'm not signing this. I will not sign that!

Well, then, I'll have to tell them

that you came home

at 4:
30, bruised and bleeding.

Why would you tell them?

That's f***ing ridiculous!

Are you trying to blackmail me?

I think we call it negotiating.

You're not gonna win that one.

There's no f***in' way.

You know what?

It'll cause just enough trouble.

The kind of trouble that you don't want.

And apparently, according to my lawyer,

- enough to give them probable cause.

- F***in' lawyer. F***!

And then they can subpoena your DNA

and your cell phone and...

F*** the DNA! I'm sick of this sh*t!

Really, Robert, what you have is a choice.

You can either be in court

and the tabloids for the next three years

or you can be at your business.

You won't do it.

You won't do it to the kids.

Just try me.

You broke

our little girl's heart.

That's how it all works, Ellen.

You know that.

I know. But she didn't.

She'll be better for it.

The world is cold.

Then you're gonna need a warm coat.

There's one more thing.

I hate to mention it now

but I just received it.

Speak, John.

I had Stern Marling do a secondary audit

on the Miller financials.

Who authorized this?

I did.

And what did you conclude?

It's in front of you.

I didn't ask you what the paper said, John.

I asked you what you thought.

What do you think?

I think...

I think I don't see anything wrong here.

And to receive this prestigious award,

I invite now to the stage

the man who led this generous effort.

And whose financial trading firm,

Miller Capital,

was just this morning acquired

by Standard Bank & Trust.

A dedicated businessman,

a family man, philanthropist

and all-around humanitarian.

A man I am very lucky to call my mentor,

my friend

and my father.

Mr. Robert Miller.
