don't worry, milo. i'm here as a friend. or maybe a supplicant. beggar. we're at a disadvantage with outpost. our experts aren't as smart as theirs. sometimes we can't tell which technologies pose the threat of a monopoly. we need a really smart guy to help us pick our fights. i'm taking a shot in the dark, here. i can offer you 32,000 a year, a buick. i'm hoping you've got a feeling it's the right thing to do. like i said: shot in the dark. if you see something there that rubs you the wrong way? do the right thing. it's -- milo, isn't it? give me two seconds with lacy here? go on in, i won't be a moment. i'll make the call, but i think you need to send a fax first . milo? have a seat. what seems to be the problem? you look a little upset. milo? my goodness. if there's a civil rights violation. but generally we let the local police and da do their work first. let me look into it, see what's being done. frankly, it's not my area. and outpost? you're happy there?
