Bernard and Doris2006

Waldo Taft:
I'm writing you a check for $200,000.

Bernard Lafferty:
$200,000?

Waldo Taft:
Mm-hm. That's right. On condition you go away and stay away.

Bernard Lafferty:
I don't understand.

Waldo Taft:
Miss Duke hired you to be her butler, not her drinking buddy.

Bernard Lafferty:
Did... did she ask you to pay me off? Because Miss Duke would not be very happy if I walked out on her. Loyalty is very important to her.

Waldo Taft:
I agree, loyalty is a valuable commodity. Let's make it $500,000.

Bernard Lafferty:
Do you think that's enough?

Waldo Taft:
Give you a little breathing space.

Bernard Lafferty:
[rejecting the check] I am not that easy. Good evening, sir.
