The Towering Inferno1974

Roger Simmons:
Hi Doug. Honey.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
Hello.

Roger Simmons:
What are you drinking these days?

Doug Roberts:
Nothing right now.

Roger Simmons:
Well, welcome back from the wilderness. To what do we owe the pleasure?

Doug Roberts:
Callahan was testing a backup generator. There was a power surge and a systems failure.

Roger Simmons:
How can that be?

Doug Roberts:
Well it can't be, theoretically. Unless you've been screwing around with the electrical specifications.

Roger Simmons:
That's being rather blunt, isn't it?

Doug Roberts:
You betcha.

Roger Simmons:
Well then you'll understand my being equally blunt. What the hell business is it of yours anyway?

Doug Roberts:
Well I'm just wondering what kind of kick-backs were involved.

Roger Simmons:
I don't have to take crap from you.

Doug Roberts:
Now listen. We had an electrical flare-up in the main utility room. It looked to me like some of that wiring wasn't exactly what I asked for.

Roger Simmons:
Every piece of wire I put in that building is strictly up to code, inspected and approved.

Doug Roberts:
The code's not enough for that building. And you know it. That's why I asked for installations that were way, way above standard!

Roger Simmons:
Buddy you live in a dream world. I deal in realities.

Doug Roberts:
I want your wiring diagrams and copies of your work orders.

Roger Simmons:
It would take weeks to get that all together and someone with a lot more clout than you to make me do it!

Doug Roberts:
In my office, tomorrow, 9:00. (Roberts leaves)

Patty Duncan Simmons:
They say he used to wrestle grizzly bears in Montana. Of course he was younger then, probably in better condition.

Roger Simmons:
You must have enjoyed all this immensely.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
No, I didn't. Actually, I'm depressed for both of us.

Roger Simmons:
What did you expect me do - punch him in the nose?

Patty Duncan Simmons:
Roger, if you've done anything to Dad's building, God help you!

Roger Simmons:
Baby I don't need God's help, or your old man's, not anymore. So don't expect me to shake everytime Daddy barks, even if that's what you want me to do.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
All I want is the man I thought I married! But I guess we're running out of reasons to stay married, aren't we?

Roger Simmons:
It's getting late. We mustn't miss the party.
