Time's change, my dear Fletch.

Rumor has it that you have inherited

a sizable piece of property.

Who told you?

I have my sources too.

These sources also suggest that you may

have been considering skipping town...

and retiring

on this vast estate.

Thus skipping out on your

financial responsibilities.

Would I do that? Wendy could

probably get half of it anyway.

So in return for the other half,

we would forego any other claims.

Think about it.

You would never see me again.

Where do I sign?

I'll never see you again?

Never.

You realize this is

my family land?

Does it please you to

rip out my ancestral roots?

I was born and raised

in a briar patch.

Now Wendy can live

a life of leisure.

Clean air, clean water. This is

the way she was destined to live.

Okay, Gillet.

You've broken me.

I hope you're happy.
