Terrence Jenkins: Gordon

Quotes 

• Edward Burton : [in his office]  Gordon, I hear that, uh, Tom Massick down at the riverboat has ordered a whole mess of gambling equipment from you.

  Gordon : Yes, Sir. Roulette wheel, blackjack tables, slot machines.

  Edward Burton : Wow. That is a big order, huh?

  [sits down behind his desk] 

  Edward Burton : Too bad old Tom is not gonna get it.

  Gordon : I shouldn't have any trouble supplying him. Heck, it should be in town tomorrow.

  Edward Burton : [shakes head]  No, no, Gordon, I'm afraid all that equipment is gonna get lost... in transit.

  Gordon : [looks uncomfortable]  Mr. Burton, if anything happens to that equipment, I'm liable. Massick's already given me a deposit.

  Edward Burton : Let him sue you.

  Gordon : Mr. Burton...

  Edward Burton : [shakes head]  I'll take care of all your legal expenses regarding the matter.

  Gordon : But...

  Edward Burton : My guess is it will take about five years to get to trial, and

  [smirking:] 

  Edward Burton : he'll be dead broke by then.

  [leans forward over desk:] 

  Edward Burton : And here's the good part, Gordon: You get to keep his deposit, and I pay full price for the equipment, plus ten percent for your trouble. Hell, you can travel around the world for that kind of money, Gordon. What do you say?
