Col. Steve Van Dyke: [Meeting Mr. Leatherby for the first time as he continues tying his shoes and getting dressed in his office] Mr. Charles Leatherby?
Charles Leatherby: Yes, that's right.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Somebody send for you?
Charles Leatherby: Nope.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Then what're ya doin' here?
Charles Leatherby: You know very well what I'm doing here Colonel Van Dyke.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Oh yeah, I remember now. You're the guy that came over here to tell me how to do my job.
Charles Leatherby: No, that's not it at all.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: You're a big wheel in the axel grease business, so naturally you're a big wheel anyplace else you want to poke your nose into.
Charles Leatherby: Colonel, if you'll be kind enough to let me explain my position here...
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Also you're a personal friend of Senator-a McDinglehoffer and you've got a letter to the commanding general. You're gonna get a little *action* around here; sitr 'em up a bit, get 'em off their big fat behinds! Isn't that it?
Charles Leatherby: Look...
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Why don't you stay home where you belong!
Charles Leatherby: Because I've got a boy in trouble over here and I'm gonna get him out of it. You understand that?
Col. Steve Van Dyke: How?... How ya gonna get him out of it?
Charles Leatherby: I have every right in the world to be here colonel: I'm a citizen and a tax payer, a very big tax payer as a matter of fact.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: That's not what I asked you. You said you're gonna get your boy outta this trouble n' I wanna know how. I'm very interested in that.
Charles Leatherby: I warn you Van Dyke, you've got no right to talk to me like this.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Alright them I'll change the question: how do you think you're gonna help him by comin' over here n' makin' a bloody nuisance of yourself?... Anything that burns me, is an amateur trying to tell a pro how to do his job.
Charles Leatherby: I have no intention of telling you or anybody else over here how to do their job.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Oh-ho no, you're gonna do it *for* me; you're gonna *buy* the boy out of it - I heard all about that. In front of a dozen people you tackle one of my men and try to take the matter out of my hands. You're gonna do it for yourself, cash-and-carry, send 'em some dough - dough fixes everything. Don't you know I could have you thrown in the jug for that? Trying to make a personal deal with a foreign government?
Charles Leatherby: That wasn't the idea at all.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: It just so happens that this is not a cash-and-carry business Mr. Leatherby. You're not dealing with the AMP now. These are cannibals Mr. Leatherby: head-hunting, blood-thirsty cannibals who are out to eat us up.
[upon finally getting through to Mr. Leatherby]
Col. Steve Van Dyke: ... Would you care for a drink?
Charles Leatherby: Yeah, sure would.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Have a chair
Charles Leatherby: Yes, that's right.
Col. Steve Van Dyke: Somebody send for you?
Charles Leatherby: Nope.
