Julian Merriday: Gunther!

Ben Gunther: Good morning, Mr. Merriday.

Julian Merriday: Gunther, you and I have something to discuss. You've been trying to sell my daughter some idiotic story about her being the reincarnation of Barbara Merriday. It won't work, Gunther, won't work.

Ben Gunther: Sir, I'm not trying to play any games.

Julian Merriday: Oh, come on, boy, you don't think I was born yesterday. You're not the first cheap opportunist who's tried to latch onto my daughter, you won't be the last. I should have nailed you when you first made that pretty little speech about not wanting something for nothing.

Ben Gunther: I guess I'd feel the same if I were in your shoes.

Julian Merriday: Gunther, I don't think I need the benefit of your philosophy or your understanding. Just stay away from Julie.

Ben Gunther: What if I don't?

Julian Merriday: Let me explain the facts of life to you, boy. I own a large portion of this peninsula. I might not be able to do anything legally but I can make life pretty uncomfortable for you around here. I'd keep that in mind, if I were you.

Ben Gunther: You don't beat around the bush, do you Sir?

Julian Merriday: I also have the reputation for meaning what I say.

Ben Gunther: So I've heard. I appreciate your frankness, Sir. But I'm in love with your daughter.

Julian Merriday: In love?

Ben Gunther: So, you'll just have to bring on the big guns

Julian Merriday: Alright, Gunther. But just remember, you asked for it.
