A way to stop you from disposing of the last remaining bit of my father.

Is that what you think I'm doing?

Why else would you be selling bass industries?

Because it's in trouble, Charles.

What are you talking about?

You read the papers. Real estate, hotels...

Even in Manhattan, no one's impervious.

Why wouldn't you tell me?

Because I thought we could ride it out, refinance or something.

I was hoping I could turn it around and wouldn't have to tell you, but then you disappeared.
