Day 84 caught up

Scene 7

Henry: No.

May: What do you mean, no?

Henry: Simple, I mean, no we aren't going to do it.

May: Jaime's estimate indicates we could make a profit in our second year.

Henry: If you think those estimates are worth anything.

May: If that's the argument, what's the point of doing research?

Henry: The research says, we spend 25 k and we get, if we're lucky, 15 to 20 back. That's a losing deal.

May: Name any other business you'd wouldn't give three years to turn a profit.

Henry: We aren't in business. We're retired.

May: Retired doesn't mean you have to stop living.

Henry: It's supposed to mean that our days aren't spent having to work for fear that if we don't, there won't be any money!

May: It isn't only your money.

Henry: You're right, its ours, and I'm not going to let you throw away our money or force us to work to survive.

May: Well maybe we ought to split it.
