• 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 shitstorm.

  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!
