Last time on Berrenger's.
What's wrong?
About Emily?
They're definitely the ones who were in the cab. It's not Emily.
It's not.
I busted my buns off of that promotion.
And you just bat your eyes at Billy Barringer and the next thing I know
promoted over me?
Shane told me I'd earned it. Nobody has worked harder than I have.
And I'm not a sweet little dewy -eyed white girl from Ohio.
What John and I had between us had nothing to do with you. It was private,
was cheap, and it was tawdry. And I'm no more proud to have you as a daughter
than you are to have me as a mother.
Garrick, feed us to the punch again.
Someone's leaking information.
They've undercut our merchandise one day sooner and just a little bit cheaper
too often for it to be a coincidence.
You're the spy. You're the only one who saw that newspaper ad. You can't do this
to me.
The only reason you have this job is that you're Paul Berringer's whore.
Screw Jack, isn't it?
You're starting to see him, aren't you?
That's why you want to end it with us, isn't it?
I'm promoting you, Todd.
I'm giving you Ludwig's job as controller of the company. Who are you?
A business associate of Julio's. I suggest you use your influence to
him to sign our contract.
What contract?
Ask him.
I told you, I'm not signing anything.
Go to hell.
What's that?
I found it in the baby's crib.
Here's your contract.
Thank you.
I look forward to being a part of Julian Morel with you. Why not?
Never. Ever.
Come near my family again.
If you do, I'll kill you.
Now.
Do it now.
Why?
Time to go ahead with the merger.
The Beringers have had long enough to mourn over dear departed Jacob Ludwig. I
think we should wait.
We still don't know who'll be getting his vote, and they could swing the
No. We couldn't be in a better position if we had planned Ludwig's death
ourselves. What?
Simon's got to be thinking about his own mortality.
Force him to call a vote on trans allies' offer. But what about Ludwig's
Simon's no fool.
He'll assign them to someone he can trust.
Didn't she come to work?
No. Where do you think she is?
You know,
I had no idea they were going to promote me. I don't believe you for what
happened. Yeah, but Stacey does.
She thinks I did this behind her back.
Stacey can take care of herself.
Cammy, all right, good morning.
Stacey, Stacey.
Oh, she's not here, Miss Bradley.
She had a death in the family. Her great aunt died suddenly.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Well, she had to attend the funeral in Milwaukee.
Um, it all happened so fast that she didn't have time to tell you what was
on. She asked me to, and I was going to.
It's all right, but when do you expect her back?
Uh, two days.
Yes, she'll be back in two days.
Two days.
Have her report to me, will you, once she gets back?
Phew.
Let me know when you hear anything.
Well, why now?
Oh, we're up against a wall.
Transallied has invested a great deal of time and energy in structuring this
merger. Now, our fiscal year is closing. We need an acquisition.
Fine. It's a little too fast for my taste.
I'm sorry, Simon. If it's not Barringer's, then we'll have to look
Jack, our lawyers are happy with the agreement.
I'm sure we can come to a successful conclusion. Right, Paul?
Well, look forward to having you on our team.
Votes aren't in yet.
The longer this trans -ally proposal merger lies on the table, the worse it
smells, and you know it. You give me a chance, and I'll prove it to you. You
give me a chance, and you'll vote against it.
You've got until the board meeting, Paul.
Two days.
The merger is on the agenda, and I'm calling for a vote.
Good evening.
Well, congratulations, young man.
Did you know that Todd is the youngest controller in the history of Beringers?
It was all a plot. He wanted the power to approve his expense account.
Good evening. Hello, darling.
I'm so proud of my son -in -law.
You're much too young and much too attractive to admit to being my mother
-law. Conservative living.
Thanks for the party. You're welcome.
Yes, Mother, thanks a lot. It was very sweet of you. Thank you, Melody.
Family still means something to me.
You want to get a drink?
Sure. Evening.
You are so courageous to brave New York at night, alone.
It's so treacherous out there. Why don't we tell Paul that you've arrived
safely, huh?
I would hate to compare the streets of New York to your treachery, Gloria.
Shame. You have no cause to attack me.
I've always tried to keep my feelings for you as a person separate from the
that you're trying to steal my husband.
Paul and I are no longer seeing each other.
I'm here to congratulate Todd.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
By all means.
Consider yourself excused.
There you are. I thought you'd never get here.
To tell the truth, I'm happier to see the two of you than some of my own
You both look wonderful.
Thank you. Good news.
You don't have to worry about Alan's contract anymore.
Julian, you didn't sign.
It's better this way.
Don't worry, it won't cost you a cent.
I'll take it all out of my share of the profits. What it's going to cost me is
not the point. I'm not going to have you working your tail off and feeding him
the profits.
I don't think that you need to... No, you forget about that man. I'll take
of him.
Now, come on. I want to show you off.
Connie, you don't mind, do you?
Now, there's some people here that you have to meet.
Can I get you something?
Oh, no, thank you.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Really fine.
How about you? Fine.
I just came to congratulate Todd.
I see.
You know, I thought it was supposed to get easier with time being apart.
What did they say?
I want you to know that I'm here for you.
I hear Simon's calling a merger.
Still got two days to stop it.
Good luck.
How can you be so sure that the merger is going to be approved?
Because the decision is ours.
But we don't have enough votes.
I'm assigning Jacob Ludwig's votes to you, Gloria.
I mean, that's, um, that's very kind of you.
That's very clever of me.
I want you to be an integral part of this company, Gloria.
After the merger, particularly.
Have you told Paul?
No, I've told no one but you.
I don't want anyone else to know until the board meeting.
Grandpa gave Aunt Gloria Ludwig's vote.
And a trans -allied will take over.
But if Gloria votes against him... Aren't we the little worrier?
Well, she won't.
And even if she does, Grandpa only needs my vote and one other.
And you've got my vote, Mr. President.
Mr. President?
What else do you know?
Only that it won't stop a comptroller.
Grandpa's giving you a chance to prove yourself.
I just know it.
You're going to be president.
I'll be president, all right.
But not thanks to Simon.
What do you mean?
I can't tell you everything right now.
You just have to take my word for it.
You're such a tease.
Hi.
Where have you been?
I just came by to get some clean clothes.
Stacy, this isn't like you.
Don't start. I need it. Don't start.
Can I offer some friendly advice?
Stacy, you worked very hard to get where you are.
You can give up now.
As a friend.
Look, friend.
You are the last person on earth qualified to give me advice.
You have let every opportunity slip by one after another because you cannot
accept yourself as you are. You cannot have a relationship with a man for more
than 24 hours. You just look at your life.
You are so sad.
It would be a joke.
Sir, I'm supposed to tell you that you're only allowed to use this screen
another ten minutes.
That's why we have a sign -in sheet.
Thank you. I'll be through in a moment.
Never had you figured for the library type.
What'd you find out?
Nothing new.
Kuchek's got his fingers in a lot of pockets, but nobody's willing to talk on
the record.
I'm having better luck checking into TransAllied here.
These records aren't afraid to talk.
What do they say?
TransAllied owned one hell of a lot of subsidiaries. From dairy farms to...
Car rental chain.
Why don't you tell me something I don't already know?
How about this?
Transallied's latest acquisition was an import company.
Owned by our friend, Danny Kruczek.
I want to find out, Nick, why Kruczek has been so helpful to Barrich.
Thank you, but no thank you.
You're turning me down?
Yes, sir.
Well, don't be so hasty, Laurel. I mean, this is a rare opportunity.
I know that, sir.
I thank you for the offer.
But I've thought about it, and my answer is no.
But you haven't had time to consider it. I only just proposed it to you.
I'm sorry.
Maybe I haven't made myself clear.
Look, you will be the exclusive representative of the Julian Morel line,
Julian Morel girl.
It seems to me there must be hundreds of models in New York who would do almost
anything for this chance.
I like my position here, sir. If I'm not doing a satisfactory job... No one's
talking about... Good God, it's because you're doing such a fine job that I...
that we're offering you this opportunity.
Look, I simply presume that... Please don't presume anything about me.
I don't want this job.
How many times do I have to say no?
Well, then a request for a quota clearance isn't all that unusual.
We get requests for those clearances every day, Mr. Berringer. I see.
Who determines which requests are granted?
All requests are judged on their merits. That's not what I asked you.
Well, decision -making on import quota waivers is a joint responsibility.
I'm part of that process.
We're proud... Do you remember a request from a Mr. Max Kaufman?
Cotton Goods, Hong Kong, one month ago?
No. But everything we do is a matter of public record.
Did you approve Mr. Kaufman's request because Danny Kruchek asked you to?
I don't like the implication in that question. Neither do I. That's why I'm
asking it.
If you're suggesting... We pulled out all the stops on that one, and yet our
attorneys came up with a blank.
And then out of nowhere, Danny Krucek delivers.
Now, maybe our problem is we didn't have the right man in our payroll.
I know Mr. Krucek as you do, Mr. Barringer.
Like you, I have contact with him from time to time for professional reasons.
Whatever you may believe to the contrary, Mr. Krucek has no influence on
decisions made by my office or by my department.
I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Chapman.
Restores my faith in public servants.
Good night.
I need to see you right away.
I'm not used to doing business in this fashion.
My impression is you're not used to doing business, period.
I'm sure you must be as uncomfortable working with me as I am working with
Mr. Allen, so why don't we just end this partnership?
Fine. Good.
I'll buy back Julian's contract.
I believe you originally asked for $20 ,000 in rental fees.
I'll give you $25 ,000 to tear up Julian's contract now.
You do have a strange sense of humor, Mr. Allen.
What amount do you think would be appropriate?
One million.
I'm afraid it's my turn to laugh now.
Surely a Berringer would have no problem raising a million dollars.
That's absurd.
I didn't know you made Marissa Tyler Jean. She's a good friend of mine.
These were supposed to be shipped out yesterday. Get them out of here.
Oh, how cozy.
Marissa and I have lunch together all the time.
I'm sure she'd be interested to know we have a mutual business partner. I'm just
a subcontractor. I don't deal with her directly.
Marissa does know you make her jeans, doesn't she?
Of course she does. Well, of course, because you couldn't make them without
permission, and you do pay her a license fee, don't you?
This isn't what we're here to discuss.
Isn't it?
I'm still willing to buy back Julian's contract, only it's back to the original
offer of $20 ,000.
You should give it serious consideration.
This is not just an imitation, Sasaki.
It's a bad imitation.
I know you missed me.
I brought you this gift direct from Santa.
Okay, I have those figures on my desk before lunch.
Congratulations, Mr. Comptroller.
Thanks, but I think my stint in this job will be temporary.
Why? Because tomorrow TransAlly takes over, and you boot me up to the
presidency. Not so fast.
The vote isn't in.
Can't lose.
Simon wins with just his vote and Gloria's.
So he gave Ludwig's vote to Gloria.
She's in his corner. She's the safest bet.
Well, then, maybe I should be saying, congratulations, Mr. President.
Use it for my ears.
Hey, my treat. You bought lunch last time. Oh, thanks a lot. I bought lunch
South El Blanc.
Right, you did.
Tell you what, here, keep the change.
Yeah, I do know Adam.
By name and by reputation.
He's the CEO of TransAllied.
TransAllied's taken over everything but the state of Vermont since he joined
them. I know they've been making a lot of acquisitions.
There's no law against that.
Brave words from a man facing a takeover bid.
You're right.
There's no law against it.
Jerry, what do you hear about TransAllied at the stock exchange?
Well, off the record, where this lunch should be.
The word is, if you want to find out what's going on with TransAllied, look
the moves one of their subsidiaries is making.
Why look at a subsidiary?
Ever since I came on board at Stevens Brokerage, it gets more and more
that Adams is just a front man.
Somebody else is pulling the strings at TransAllied.
With that string puller half -known and import company.
Danny Krucek?
Bingo! Krucek runs TransAllied? Danny Krucek is TransAllied.
She didn't hear it from me.
What do you want, Mr. Berringers?
We're looking for a good acquisition.
It's that simple. If it's that simple, why don't you operate out in the open?
Why try to hide your involvement with trans allies?
I didn't hide it.
I just didn't broadcast it. Come off it, Krucek.
You hid your identity just like you hide your connections to organized crime.
You've got all the answers, Paul.
Why do you come to me?
To tell you.
Leave us alone.
My family and my store.
Paul, you're taking this personally.
This is business.
We'll all make a lot of money.
It may be business to you, but it's family to me, and I fight to protect my
family. That's some sort of a threat.
If that's the only way I can get through to you, yeah, that's a threat.
Be careful how you talk to me.
I'll be your boss in two days.
Your warning is too late.
The store is mine.
Never.
I take it you don't like this Danny Kruczek.
What kind of a name is Kruczek?
What difference does it make?
Well, have I ever met him? How do I know if you've ever met him, Gloria?
Look, Pop.
The man infiltrated our store pretending to be an importer.
You're gonna trust him?
I don't have to trust him, Paul. I have attorneys who are making sure that our
contract is airtight.
And what about our good name? Are you going to protect that?
Thank you.
The man has no past.
A very dubious present.
Frankly, Paul, I don't care who's in charge of trans -allies.
I want that merger to succeed.
And it will.
Thanks for the dinner.
I'm sorry you had to cancel your flight to Las Vegas.
Well, not very sorry.
Vegas divorces look so tacky when one reads about them in the newspapers. I'll
have time after the board meeting, Gloria.
Please.
I don't understand. Aren't you even going to try to persuade me to vote
the merger? You and my father have already made up your mind. Why should I
But you're not giving me enough credit.
I could vote against the merger.
If we combined our forces, you and I, Could stop the whole thing.
Assuming that you have influence over your brother and sister.
Billy and Babs could be persuaded.
So can I.
All you have to do is promise to stop the divorce proceedings.
I'm not sure I should today.
Stacy,
they keep this apartment for out -of -town directors.
No one's using it all week.
It'd be a shame to waste it.
Maybe I should just go back to my apartment.
And back to my job.
The job or not the job.
So that's the question.
Stacy, what do you want?
If I knew that.
Oh, I was so sure of myself when I walked out, so righteous.
They didn't promote me, so they could just take that damn job and shove it.
Now I'm not that brave.
Zach, all I see is how hard I worked to get to where I am, or was.
I just don't want to throw it away on an impulse.
Especially if that impulse was wrong.
Maybe I don't cut it.
Maybe... Maybe I'm not as talented as I thought I was, and... That's
why they didn't give me the promotion.
Hey, they're lucky to have you.
I mean, if Baron just can't see this, just stay along.
But you sure know how to say the right thing at the right time.
This is the last time we meet. We're through.
That's a heck of a way to end a relationship, Frank.
I can't afford to work with you anymore.
You can't afford not to.
Look, this guy today, this Mr., uh... Paul Behringer, Danny. He was a
Paul Behringer puts on his pants one leg at a time. Just like everybody else.
He's got you spooked.
He was on a fishing expedition.
He knew about Max Kaufman's clearance.
What's to know? It was routine.
You said so yourself.
Paul Behringer can't prove anything.
Unless somebody tells him something.
But I'm not about to say a word.
Unless, of course, you force me to.
But you understand, Frank.
I've got to protect myself.
I haven't done anything illegal.
I don't have the authority to clear a customs quota. Don't threaten me, Danny.
If I go down, you go down with me.
Listen, Frank.
You and I, we go back a long way together.
I just want to see you happy and rich.
That's all.
We've made a lot of money together, huh?
There's a lot more where that came from.
You want to lay low for a while? Okay.
You take some time off. No activity, I promise.
I won't call you until you've had some time to rest and relax.
Frank, think about what we've got.
Stop worrying.
Trust me.
Danny Krujic runs TransAlly?
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
How does this affect the store?
I can't convince Simon it makes any difference, but tonight I'm more
about how it affects you.
Listen, Paul.
My personal relationship with Danny Krujic is none... Come on, I don't want
hear that again, Shane.
Your personal relationship is my concern.
I worry about you. I care about you.
I love you.
I'm going to ask him for an explanation.
I owe him that. He's done a lot for me.
He's dangerous, Shane.
He's very dangerous.
Paul.
Thank you for worrying about me.
Can I have my limo ready in a half an hour, please?
Yes, Mrs. Agaba.
And Sammy, did you let Julian into my apartment today?
No, ma 'am.
Then who put these flowers into my apartment?
No one's been up here, Mrs. Agaba. I can assure you this is a security building.
Thank you, Sammy. Never mind.
I just wanted to see if you got my flowers.
I hope you like them.
I thought they were your color.
Why didn't you tell me?
The time wasn't right.
The time wasn't right? I work here, Danny. I'm in line for the presidency.
you knew, you would have had to tell Paul.
Or you would have been in a compromised situation.
Then I am in a compromise situation. I'm talking to you. Fine. I'll go.
Wait a minute.
Why didn't you want the Beringers to know about you?
It seems simpler this way.
It was good strategy at the time.
Is there anything else I should know about you, Danny?
I'm a good cook.
I'm serious.
Are you just helping me because I'm part of this store?
I'm sorry you had to ask me.
I'm sorry, too.
There have been a lot of rumors flying around, a lot of tension because of this
merger, and I thought... Look, I don't know what you've been told, Shane, but
I'll tell you the truth.
I helped you because I wanted to help you, and I'll keep on helping you
I can, wherever you are.
As long as you let me.
I think I've contributed a lot to this company.
I think you know I've worked very hard, and I think I deserve something... You
don't have to say any more. You want some time off, right?
You've got it.
I know you've been through something very difficult. You have my condolences.
And besides, I want you well -rested for your new duties.
I don't understand.
I let Eileen go.
I'm giving you her position.
What? Mm -hmm.
I promoted you to buyer.
I can't think of anyone better qualified for the job. Oh, thank you.
Now listen, I'm giving you the rest of the week off. I want you back here on
Monday. Great, thanks.
Stacy, I'm sorry about your loss.
Cammy told me how close you were to your aunt.
Oh, oh yes.
She was fine.
Thank you. Nice to see you again.
Thank you.
Well, thanks so much for your invitation to lunch.
I've heard an awful lot about you, Daniel, but I had no idea that you were
a fine host.
Well, I'm glad we finally had a chance to meet.
I'm not thoroughly convinced that I ought to vote for the merger, though.
I think you'll find it in your best interests, especially when you realize
TransAllied has to offer.
What do you have to offer?
We'll be giving a great deal of money for your shares.
After the merger, you'd be $40 million richer.
Well, money is certainly in my best interest.
But I have a lot of it already.
Well, there are other intangibles to consider.
Our proposed expansion of Berringer's would make it a household word.
Daniel, Berringer's is a household word.
I also happen to know that the management of Transallied is very
advantage of your taste and experience.
Of course, personally, I'd be very delighted.
What level of involvement are you suggesting?
You name it.
Under our management, you can call the shots.
Title, position, authority.
You're painting a very rosy picture, Daniel. This marriage has been a dream
mine for a long, long time.
I don't doubt it.
I believe that...
Some of your wildest fantasies can come true.
Don't you?
Yes, ma 'am.
This has been a very informative get -together.
I've learned a lot.
Gloria, I doubt if anyone could ever teach you anything.
I'll take that as a compliment.
I just can't decide.
What do you suggest?
Well, why don't you take them both?
Great idea.
I'd like to charge them, please.
Where have you been?
I've been working things out.
Listen, Shane wants to see you because Eileen got fired. I know.
I got her job.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I deserve this.
Listen, would you mind taking this over to Miss Harwood, please? Of course.
And thank you for shopping at Barringer's. Good luck. Thank you.
I'm so happy for you.
Cammy, look, I want to apologize.
Forget it. We've got to go celebrate.
I can't. Why not?
I'm in mourning.
I'm so glad you decided to change your mind.
I haven't.
Not yet.
Oh, of course, you haven't agreed to accept the job, but I'm delighted that
at least agreed to discuss it further.
And my instinct tells me that this is a discussion that requires champagne.
My favorite, please.
Mr. Berenger.
Simon. Remember the other evening in front of the store, you agreed to call
Simon.
Simon.
I'm not quite sure I understand what this job entails.
Well, in the first instance, you will represent the Julian Morrell line in all
our print ads.
That's the bread and butter of our campaign, so to speak.
Then there will also be television commercials and, of course, the fashion
video. I can promise you you'll work very hard, but I can also promise you
you'll be very well rewarded.
I don't think I would be right.
You know how I made Berenger's into the success that it is?
I trust myself.
I know what's good for the store, and I don't let anything stand in my way.
Now, everyone has intuition, but I know how to use it. And I know that you are
right for the Julian Morel campaign.
Yes, thank you.
Now, why do you hesitate?
Please tell me.
It is possible that not... Every Julian Moreau design would look flattering on
me.
Don't you know how very beautiful you are?
But if that's all that's standing in the way of your accepting the job, then I
can assure you, you will not have to model any design that you don't approve
Now, is that a deal?
You see? My instinct was right in ordering the champagne.
There's not much else to report.
I'm interested in every detail, Betty.
Danny, I never thought you got your kicks that way.
You're not paid to think.
You're paid to report.
Well, okay.
Here's the big surprise.
Well, I sure was surprised.
Your friend at the Treasury Department likes to make movies.
Movies? Yeah.
Videotapes. And then watches himself on television afterwards.
Frank Chapman makes videotapes of himself having sex?
I thought that would surprise you.
Clothing carrying our label or designers exclusive to us is performing even
better. That's very impressive.
Well, what haven't I covered?
I don't think there's anything you haven't covered.
I'm grateful that you took the time to update me on the current status of
Perringer's. Well, if there has to be a merger, it might as well go smoothly.
You know, your command of detail is absolutely amazing.
Thank you. But I'm sure when it comes to modernization and cost efficiency, you
have computers that can do a much better job than I can.
Oh.
Transallied values you for things that no computer can provide.
Mr. Adams, there's no need to flatter me. I know when I've been beaten.
Beaten? Oh, we don't see it that way at all, Paul. I mean, nobody's getting
beaten. This is not a hostile takeover bid by any standards.
You'll benefit handsomely. And we will profit from your experience, your
expertise, and, of course, your name.
And you've told this to my father?
Absolutely.
Oh. Well, I'm sorry if he didn't convey our intentions adequately enough to you.
But listen.
Even in the friendliest acquisition, there are bound to be some slight
misunderstandings.
A trans -allied wants you in, Paul. Make no mistake about that.
Without you to head up the store, we are not interested in buying.
Okay?
I'm very glad.
Looking forward to working with you. Likewise.
Here's the revised agenda.
Have it typed and distributed before we convene the meeting.
Thank you.
We should open a store on the West Coast, Pop.
If that's a riddle, Paul, I haven't time for the punchline.
The board meets in an hour, and I have to finish my report on the merger. If
go ahead with this merger, it's going to be too late for me to expand the store
the way I want to expand it.
And isn't it also too late for a grandstand play?
What are you afraid of?
I've already done all the research.
We stand to double our gross inside of two years.
It'll be a start of a bigger and better Beringers than we ever dreamed of, Pop.
Go ahead. Talk the trans -allied people into it. I don't care.
All right, stop the merger.
Let me expand Beringer's.
Otherwise, I walk.
Don't be petulant.
All right, fine.
Then I'll join Alexander's like you did and see what the world's like outside of
Beringer's.
Are you mocking me?
Do you know how many offers I've had in the last several years?
Do you have any idea?
So what do you want me to say? That you're doing a good job? Well, I expect
to do a good job. That's what we pay you for.
I'm tired of playing games with you, old man.
You call for a vote on this merger, I walk.
That's a very adult response.
One hell of a role model for your son.
If you don't agree with something, if you don't get your own way, you walk
from it.
Take your baseball and go home, huh? Cut the rhetorical trite, will you? I'm not
a 16 -year -old.
Just because I didn't make you beg me to come back when you fired me, don't
think I don't know why you want me back now.
You're too proud to want me back on your own.
Trans -Allied forced you to keep me.
I suspected it all along. I just had it confirmed recently.
They don't want Behringers without a Behringer at the helm. And you're
I'm the only one left.
That must burn the hell out of you.
You need me.
You have a very inflated view of your own importance.
If I walk, they walk.
There's no merger without me.
Don't mistake my civility for stupidity.
What do you want?
Call on the vote.
Postpone it until I get a West Coast operation going.
And if you still want a merger with trans -allied or anybody else, I won't
you.
I'll even vote with you.
Stop the board members from coming.
The meeting is postponed.
Until further notice.
Yes, sir.
I underestimated him.
That'll never happen again.
You're talking like a boy.
When you get to be my age, you know better than to say never.
You wanted Paul to be head of Beringers. Just to have the personal satisfaction
of throwing him out when you took over.
Thanks for letting hatred cloud your judgment. You're damn right I hate them.
Why shouldn't they pay?
Let them suffer the way that I suffer.
The way that my mother suffered.
Then you'll take notice.
Be careful, Danny. Be smart.
What good is your hatred if it controls you? It keeps me alive.
It may very well kill you, Danny. Not before I make them pay.
