[0:01] Al.
[0:01] Yes, sir.
[0:02] As soon as you find that document, I want you to bring it over.
[0:05] I want to look at it.
[0:07] Good.
[0:07] You haven't found it yet?
[0:08] No, sir.
[0:10] God damn it, it's someplace in this house because it's supposed to be under lock and key someplace.
[0:18] Who are you in touch with?
[0:19] Helen or...
[0:21] Yes, Larry's been checking Helen and Rose and— So she doesn't have anything?
[0:26] Yeah, the girl that had the big ball, they're checking her.

[0:57] Get it out before he gets it.

[1:02] It leaks, and then he gets it.
[1:03] Okay.
[1:04] Good, sir.
[1:04] Right.
