12 Men of Christmas2009

E.J. Baxter:
Oh, good morning, Mr. Albrecht. Can I get you some coffee?

Will Albrecht:
Uh, no thank you. Um, I just came by to tell you...

E.J. Baxter:
I'm glad you did. I don't think we should waste anymore time. You know, I realized before I left...

Will Albrecht:
The squad voted 'no'. But, uh, thank you for thinking of us.

E.J. Baxter:
What do you mean "no?"

Will Albrecht:
Well, we're funded through the county's inte...

E.J. Baxter:
In this economy, you're going to be waiting a long time...

Will Albrecht:

E.J. Baxter:
Pancake breakfasts? Bake sales? Even if the entire state of Montana had a bake sale, you still wouldn't raise enough money to - I'm sorry. Don't you want new equipment?

Will Albrecht:

E.J. Baxter:
Well, then explain something to me, because I'm obviously missing something.

Will Albrecht:
Yes, obviously.

E.J. Baxter:
Okay, so you don't mind being naked, but you won't pose even partially covered, to raise money for something you 'profess' to believe in?

Will Albrecht:
Why is this so important to you?

E.J. Baxter:
I was brought here to lure corporate retreats. People aren't going to spend money where they don't feel safe.

Will Albrecht:
Oh, so you're doing this for purely altruistic reasons? To help people you'll never see or think about again, as soon as you can get out of here. With no thought whatsoever on how this can benefit your own career.

E.J. Baxter:
That is so unfair on so many levels! You're saying it's bad if I look good?

Will Albrecht:
Shh! People will hear you. You might get knocked off your pedestal.
