Now, Mr. Wolff, I half suspect we're wasting your time. I'm quite sure you're not. And you...

Ed Chilton: Now, Mr. Wolff, I half suspect we're wasting your time. Christian Wolff: I'm quite sure you're not. Ed Chilton: And you know this how? Christian Wolff: I'm on the clock. Ed Chilton: [Small laugh] Well, I hope we're not wasting ours, then. Look, kidding aside, I think if you saw our books you'd run for the hills. We have an incredibly complicated accounting system. Depreciation schedules on hundreds of different items. Full-time and contract employees. Department of Defense classified accounts. It's a numerical nightmare. Christian Wolff: I'll need to see all those books for the past ten years. Bank statements, complete list of clients and vendors. Hard copies printed out, my eyes only. All the information's right here. [Slides over folded paper] Ed Chilton: Okay, well, well, look. This all came to my attention only last week. Now, a junior cost accountant stuck her nose where it didn't belong and obviously had no idea what she was looking at. Lamar is overreacting. There's no missing money. Christian Wolff: How long have you been CFO of this company, sir? Ed Chilton: Fifteen years. Christian Wolff: I need the books for the past fifteen, please. Ed Chilton: Well you're awful goddamn blunt!

Uh, Mr. Wolff, I half suspect we're wasting your time. I'm quite sure you're not. And you know this how? I'm on the clock. Well, shit, I hope we're not wasting ours then... Look, kidding aside, I think if you saw our books, you'd run for the hills. We have an incredibly complicated accounting system, depreciation schedules on hundreds of different items, full time and contract employees, Department of Defense classified accounts. It's a numerical shitstorm. I'll need to see all those books for the past 10 years, bank statements, a complete list of clients and vendors, hard copies printed out, my eyes only. All the information is right here. Okay, whoa, whoa. Look. This all came to my attention only last week.. Now, a junior cost accountant stuck her nose where it didn't belong and obviously had no idea what she was looking at. Lamar's overreacting, there is no missing money! How long have you been CFO of this company, sir? 15 years. I need the books for the past fifteen, please. Well, you're goddamn blunt. I'm Lamar Blackburn's oldest friend. I've been by his side since he was turnin' out RC robots that Radio Shack called crap. I wouldn't take a dime without his say so. - You're angry. - Oh, this is bullshit. Unusual way of making contact with you, Mr. Wolff. You were recommended by Mansoor Lakhani. We custom made prosthetics for this man's daughter. You may know that she lost both legs to a car bomb outside his investment firm in Lahore. He told my brother, Lamar, that you were nothing short of supernatural. Mr Lakhani holds advance degrees in mathematics from Cambridge and Caltech. Why does a man like that need you? I don't discuss client business.
