[B.P. Richfield overhears Earl having Grapdelites for his 20th anniversary and orders him to come to his office]
You wanted to see me, my captain?
I hear you got your 20th anniversary coming up, Sinclair!
How suspiciously cordial of you to take an interest, sir.
And the wife's probably lookin' forward to that Grapdelite dinner, right?
I'm sure she is, sure.
Yeah, a little wine, candlelight, and those Grapdelites gonna taste so sweet and satisfyin'! Mmm-mmm! You and the wife will probably look each other in the eye and tell each other how very much in love you still are, and who knows? Maybe you'll take a little trip upstairs and... [they both crack up laughing until Richfield bangs his desk, resuming his serious mood] THAT'S NOT HAPPENIN'!!!!
It's not?
I WANT THOSE GRAPDELITES!!!
What?!
They're my favorite food, Sinclair! Everybody's out of'em, you got'em, I want'em! You don't give'em to me, I'm gonna bite off your head!
B-b-b-but I can't give them to your, sir. They're for my wife. If she didn't get them, she'd be very unhappy.
How much is your wife's happiness worth to you, Sinclair?
Well, I see what you're getting at there, sir... uh, Mr. Richfield, but no amount of money is worth taking this away from my wife. My wife's happiness means the world to me.
Here's $50.
It's a small world after all. But with all due respect, you know, there is the matter of my own personal dignity, sir. You only get one 20th anniversary, and if I sell you by Grapdelites, how much is my personal dignity worth?
I got another $23 for your personal dignity.
That should cover it. [takes the money] And what about my self-respect?
I think we've taken care of that.
