Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Today’s episode was directed by Habib Azar and written by Peter Brash.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Derek: If your club is as good as your club sandwich, you got yourself a winner. Henry: Hey, Bonnie. Bonnie: Hey, Henry. Hey. This is Henry Coleman. How do you two know each other? Bonnie: Well -- you never really told me where you're from or what you do -- Derek: I'm an entrepreneur. Mostly start-ups. I provide capital. I've been traveling a lot in the last few years, but I'll be spending a lot more time in Oakdale. Henry: Start-ups? Wow, it can't be easy to raise cash with the economy in the dumps. Derek: Yeah, well, I do good even in a recession. Provide a service people need, and you're always in demand. Bonnie: Yeah, I wish we could say the same for Metro. We've had a lot of small nights lately. Henry: Yeah. Derek: Just got to get the word out. Henry: Yeah, right. Get the word out. "Come to Metro and spend the money you don't have." Bonnie: You know what, Guys, it could be worse. I have this client, Paul Ryan, who just went in front of the town board yesterday, and he was doing his damndest to keep millions of dollars from going down the tubes. He's just having a rough time, you know? Henry: What's happening with Paul? Bonnie: Oh, well, I was at the diner this morning for breakfast, and one of his construction guys said that the project was in way worse shape than they thought. Henry: And they don't think they can bail it out? Bonnie: From what he said, nobody can come up with that kind of money. Go figure, right? I get one client, he goes broke. What's the deal? Derek: So, the project your client's working on, why do you think it's failing? Bonnie: Well, normally, this goes under attorney-client privilege, but in this case, there's no secrets here. All of the facts are a matter of public record. Derek: What are the facts? Bonnie: Well, this particular construction project is supposed to be a major money-maker. They're developing the land at Snyder farm. Now, unfortunately, the original developer pulled the plug on half the partnership, leaving my client, Paul Ryan, in charge of everything. Derek: Why'd the other partner pull out? Bonnie: Well, it turns out that the land that they're supposed to build on is contaminated, and there's no guarantee they'll be able to clean that up. So even if Paul is able to build on that land, he may never be able to pay back his debts. So what all of that means is I will never get my legal fees. Derek: That'd be a real shame. Henry: Paul's a resourceful guy. He'll find a way to get the money back. Bonnie: You know what, maybe not this time. Sometimes, people are just in over their heads. Derek: That's too bad. I got to get back to work. But rest assured, from now on, Metro is my new club. See you again. Bonnie: Yeah, I hope so.
