more work to you guys.

not while you're working on the

Safety Point case.

partner and my client, i'll get

back to you in an hour.

Christmas, maybe you right.

i gotta call Dancort.

Mike, come on.

gentlemen..

thanks for coming out.

give me a few minutes to wash

up. i'll be right with you.

Stephanie will show you where

the library.

if you need anything, she'll be

happy to get it for you, okay?.

right this way gentlemen.

dial 9

if you need to get an outside

line

and i'll be just down the hall

there to the left.

if there's anything else i can

do?

we're fine. thank you.

you got any fresh squeezed

juice?

i can check.

orange is fine, grape juice

preferable.

i'll see what i can do.

where's your bathroom?

it's right here.

how long do we have to wait?

gentlemen..

it's nice, isn't it?

all the fresh air..

okay.

let's get down to business.

first of all,

thank you for coming here. much

appriciate it.

our pleasure. -now, putting

aside..

the fact that Safety Point

syringes having finances

dificulties..

one of our manufacturing client

is

ready to put an offer for it

which i think you're gonna find

satisfactory. -where's that

girl that showed us in.

i'm not sure, Mr. Weiss.

waiting on some juice.

sure she'll bring when she can.

like i said, one of our

manufacturing client is

interested in your company.

for quite some time. -this

generous manufacture wouldn't

happen to be Thompson Needle,

well they would like to remain

anynomous until there's an

accepted offer.

and this..

anonymous client would then own

the patent to Safety Point?

-that's right.

my client is interested in

purchasing the equity that

comes from Safety Points

there'll be a contractional

provision guarentee in certain

production an distribution of

the Safety Point syringe?

once my client purchases Safety

Point syringes,

we'll have the right to do it

as it see fit.

and what do they see fit?

Mr. Dancort,

my client is prepared to make a

more than generous offer.

this is great.

you know, your client is in

direct violation of federal and

state antitrust laws?

you damn well know you won't

win this case if you go to

trial.

you are a brilliant

engineer, Mr. Dancort.

try appyling some of that to

your business sense.

i didn't sacrifice everything

because i was looking for a big

pay day.

i just want my needles in those

hospitals.

sorry, Mr. Dancort. i trully am.

i won't take any pleasure in

seeing you ruining it.

that proposal is only valid for

no negotiation. now gentlemen,

i have taken enough of your

saturday.

Stephanie will see you out.

look forward to your response.

we have to take it.

excuse me? -the offer.

we have to take the money. -

what do you mean?

it's not good for Dancort, it

is not fair.. -they made the

offer, cause they they can't

they're not scared, Mike. -

they're scared we'll take it to

trial.

do you..

even really care if Safety

Point needles end up in

hospitals?

seriously.. i'm asking you a

question.

do i care? yes!

people are dying. -that's what

you care about?

people dying?. really?.

we're taking the settlement. -

no we're not.

you want Dancort to walk away

from millions of dollars, and

then what, huh?

what happens to him when we go

to court..

years form now?.

and he has lost his business

and his house, and then..

then after all that, we lose

the case..

we won't lose the case. -okay,

fine we don't lose.

how do you want us to survive

until then, Mike?

we are broke.. broke..

broke.. we have three weeks of

overhead left in the bank.

and united medical health

supplies has pretty much

paid off or pressured everyone

in the United States of America

from giving us any new work.

so, how you gonna go and..

rally people behind Jeffrey in

court when you don't have a

phone

to call them and to tell them

where to show up.

i'm ending this!

i'm not ending sh*t. i'll take

a loan out of my house

you are so f***ing delusional..

-and you're a big p*ssy..

who rather chase ambulances

then the lot to save people's

lives. -so you..

care about people's lives? -

yeah, i do. -really, who?

revolving troup of hookers you

paid to hang out with?

your wife? -oh, f*** you Paul.

like you really give a sh*t

bout those pathetic scam

with their neck braces and

crutches.

not just the settlement they

bring in, right? -you are so

full of sh*t.

you just wanna win, that is all

you ever cared!

at least i have the courage..

to lose for what's right!

i'll call Dancort and tell him

you no longer involve with the

case.

i'll walk from here.

hey man. -hey man, how you

doing?.

thanks. -yeah.

excuse me..

i'm all set, man.

Mr. Weiss, i used to work for

Thompson Needles Manufactures.

then go f*** yourself.

i was a friend of Vicky's.

she asked to come talk to you.

thought it might be helpful.

you got a car?.

yeah. follow me.

up here.
