Hey! - You the guy from Ajax? - Yeah, you bet. All right. - Thought you were bringing the eight? - They're coming. I'm the supervisor. I don't carry the stuff. Freddie's bringing them? Yeah. Freddie. You were supposed to be here an hour ago. Traffic was murder. A manure spreader jackknifed on the Santa Ana. God-awful mess. You should see my shoes. Whew! Stanwyk's baby, huh? Yeah. Uh-huh. Looks well-used. Travels to Utah every weekend. Is that right? Is he a Mormon? I don't think he's doing a lot of singing... with the Tabernacle Choir. These executives live high. Know what I mean? I sure do. That's a terrific wing. I love this shape. Do us a favor, pal. Name's Liddy. Gordon Liddy. Take a look at the seventh Fetzer valve. It's been sticking. Probably the humidity. That's funny. I think it's the by-pass line. It could be the by-pass line. I should look at it. Uh, Gordo? Back here? Don't tell me my business, boy! Just checking the luggage. Somebody should clean these windows. There's gook all over 'em. Look at that.
