- Bertram Lomax: [entering Oscar's office] Oscar.
- Oscar Goldman: Bert.
- Bertram Lomax: [shakes hands with Oscar] Hate to bother you.
- Oscar Goldman: No bother at all. Please sit down. What's on your mind today?
- Bertram Lomax: Well, I've been getting a lot of static from the home district, that experimental oil recovery project of yours at Stoney Creek.
- Oscar Goldman: You mean they're complaining? Bert, if this thing works, and we get a reasonable return on those marginal wells, you'll be getting a lot developed money in that area.
- Bertram Lomax: That's exactly what these people afraid of. New development.
