evaluating our standard policies.

Stop to ensure certain properties of

neighborhoods, all at once.

Sorry, but the situation is

nothing to do with standard policies.

The reason is because we descaptalizados.

It's a financial problem.

What happened?

Another round of accusations?

They are thinking that this will blame

department by bad investments.

They are very wrong!

Hey, I got tickets for the game

tonight. Anyone?

- Who stole them this time?

- You can say what you want. There's nothing not.

- Hey I know that Gene is a fan of baseball. You want?

- I already have plans today.

- Do you know if Hank Starkwell will resign?

- I do not know. I was not even there.

Knew that this being hunted by

a company on the north coast.

He will resign.

- Who told you that?

- From the desk of redhead 35.

She reads every message.

- It's a darn hot outside.

- Nice haircut, Bowman.

Good news.

The factory fire was confined

to an empty warehouse.

It is beyond our responsibility.

- Gene, call on line 3.

- Write down the message.

It is his ex-wife.

He said it was important.

I'll meet in my office.

- Since when is he here?

- Since last night.

Here's $ 1,500 bail. What

day of court?

Nov. 20. If it does not appear

this time, I can not do anything else.

He will appear. Believe.

Sit there. I'll send it out.

- What happened? What are we doing here?

- I did nothing.

- Ronnie, you say it every time.

- You too.

Hey, smoking is prohibited here.

- He said not to smoke.

- Go to hell.

Ronnie, I just spend $ 1500 U.S. dollars.

Give me five minutes of your time. Ronnie!

Surely it's just a phase that

is passing.

Will pass.

I wanted to throw it to the next phase.

Serve me another cup of coffee

please. Thanks.

Bowman's wife made these

biscuits. Want one?

I can not stop eating them.

What next? Last week tomatoes

large, this week biscuits.

His son won first place

a swimming competition.

Um, you still have leftovers.

I love my children too,

but I can not remember the last time

some of them gained some jealous.

I do not understand.

I think I missed some part.

Bowman simply slides off the

life without a care in the world,

Every day looks leaking roofs,

crashed cars, the misfortunes of others,

And smiling back. Smiling.

If I did not know better,

'd say he's jealous.

Say what?

I heard right?

Said I'm jealous

Bowman's smiling?

No, I just wanted to say.

As a face for those that bother you?

Because he's a regular guy.

So.

He works every day,

home runs to exactly

5:
00 am to see his wife and children,

tidy the garden. He has no vision.

Has no direction.

His wife has made cookies

like these before?

I do not remember.

- Hey Gene, Lew Kincannon is there to see you.

- Really? What does he want?

Dunno. It was a little in his office

then returned upstairs.

I was stuck on the subway.

- What? What are you laughing?

- I am laughing? Neither realized.

- But I do. I see.

- Sorry Gene. I do not even realize.

- Lew?

- Gene Oh, please.

We are not in the elevator.

Just wanted you to know that

Hank Starkwell officiate.

Offered him a job in California.

It starts at the end of the month.

- Oh, I heard something about it.

- There could be a worse time.

We can not remain without a

vice president. Especially now.

We will promote someone from within here,

because they do not want to hurt

the morale of the company.

And in the meantime, we will ask all managers

to cut costs for their industries.

So do what you can.

"Steal men kiss women,"

"Another guy says: Let Jesse

rob the train as you want. "

"It's because I'm excited.

We're doing the wedding. "

I could never concentrate

those dates.

Do not know how you stand up, Bowman.

Dick, can come here?

Close the door.

Gene Heck. Your shirt!

Drugs.

- The smile that Mr.'s laughing now?

- Dunno.

I heard it was birthday, after

not pay more attention.

I bet 10 bucks and shot

the smile on his face.

Come on. Was with him impicando

for almost two years.

Whatever we say or do,

does not seem to affect it.

Not this time!

Seems serious.

Should I call the Mickey?

No, leave it between us. Kincannon

do not come to me a social visit.

- We must reduce spending.

- He will sell the car factory?

I will do whatever it takes. Mr smile was gone.

Should I give him the good news.

Kincannon wants you to resign?

Well, I do the bills every day and only

cut sheets of paper does not resolve.

And nobody wants to reduce wages.

He is here just two years, and was the

last to be hired.

Well, it seems his luck

finally over.

The Lord gives but also takes away.

We will see now if it was all acting.

Wade, can come to my office one

minutes? Has committed?

- Nothing that can not wait.

- I will be brief.

Sit.

Well, let me get down to business.

I regret to have to tell you that Wade,

but we have to dispense it.

Understood. Is this some kind of joke is not it?

The guys were also there.

No joke. I am very sorry to say but

believe me, it hurts me so much as to you.

I do not know what to say.

Things were going so well.

Gene, I have to ask:

Is it about me? Or did they?

No, nothing with you. The company

is going through difficult times

and I feel that more heads will

roll before its over.

Well, it makes me feel better.

Not that I want it to anyone else.

You can finish this week

and see if I can get a good package

compensation for you.

Thanks Gene. Thank you very much.

You know, maybe I should look at

good side of things.

Can I take holidays

always wanted.

Spending more time with my children

before they grow.

- Good night, Gene.

- Yes, good evening.

- See you tomorrow Dick.

- Right.

Do not tell me that he had

courage to do.

- No, you're done.

- He walked out the door smiling.

No doubt he was smiling when

came out and said goodnight.

Yes, you won.

I thought I had won, but at the last moment

he has revealed everything and over.

If he had knelt for mercy

I think it would have been a penalty.

Here you are.

- No need to pay me.

- As you wish.

Goodnight Gene.

See you tomorrow morning.

"Damn the blame."

An engine with 330 horsepower,

2.36 kg of torque and a

maximum speed of 220 km / h.

Then you can go from 0 to 100

4.8 seconds?

Yes, something like that.

If you do not mind asking,

why you want to sell it?

Do not drive anymore.

What does a guy like you to

maintain such a car?

It was a gift from my parents.

Work in public ministry.

It must be frustrating to give

with crime in this city.

I was robbed at gunpoint recently.

The guy took my wallet

and hit me for no reason.

I left a black eye.

He could have killed me.

The guy who robbed you,

already got him?

I doubt that someone is looking.

Life goes on. I suffered my loss

and now ended.

My eye has gone. Over time

will be as if nothing had happened.

"Ask yourself if he's happy"

Sorry, that was penseri

another person.

Sorry if I woke up.

You're bleeding.

Let me make a dressing for you.
