You know, uh, Greg... I know that, um... it wasn't cool, you know. The bottles, the attack.
[sighs] No, it didn't feel great.
I don't always like who I am, Greg.
Yeah, I-- I get that. But don't you think it might be just the right time for me to make a move?
Seriously, Greg? You're smart, you're ambitious, you're loyal. Why would I let you go? Come on.
Okay, wait. I have a thing, but I-- I'm reluctant to say.
What do you mean?
[sighs] I-- I just-- I have some leverage, but I'm reluctant to use it. You know, in case it sours things for us.
What leverage, Greg?
I just-- Um... Well, I'm not bringing this up as any form of threat, but... [sighs] So, you know when you had me destroy those documents at Cruises?
No.
Well, I-- I kept it--
[indistinct chatter from passersby]
I kept a few... o-- of them. Just in case I got in trouble, and 'cause I was worried that maybe I was destroying evidence of criminality.
Did you now?
So, like, I don't know. Would it be... I don't wanna bring anything up to you in a way that feels, like, horrible, but would it be bad for me to, like, mention those to you now?
Are you asking if you can blackmail me?
No, I'm not-- I would-- I would hate that. I like you, it's just, you know, context.
Very well. I accept your blackmail.
No, I'm not blackmailing you Tom--
But you are...
No!
...you piece of shit.
I'm not!
Greg... I'm gonna accelerate you. Okay? New title. Ton more money, nice new office. You're moving up, you can throw away the training bra. Seat at the big table. You like that?
[Greg smiles and nods]
Yeah? [chuckles]
Yeah. I like that.
You fucki-- Look at you. Where are they, those papers?
I'll never tell.
[laughs] You're a fuckin' slime ball!
No!
[slaps Gregs arms] Attaboy!
