Billy: Hey, there. Mind if I join you?
Ashland: You are free to sit wherever you like.
Billy: [ Groans ] So whatās on the agenda for this beautiful day?
Ashland: [ Sighs ]
Billy: Uh-oh, are you having a hard time trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast? You look like a villain in a superhero movie, planning world domination. Or maybe youāre just plotting your next move at Newman/Locke.
Ashland: āPlottingā? Well, that sounds a lot like an accusation.
Billy: Well, I hear your medical situation is improving. Congratulations on that. But I got to believe that youāre trying to figure out what to do next with this future that you didnāt expect to have, and Iām a bit of a betting man, but Iām gonna say that you are itching to get a lot more control out of your wifeās company. Get a lot more Locke in Newman/Locke
*************************
Billy: I donāt think I would call them baseless, Ashland. In fact, Iām gonna give you a little bit of credit. You built an empire that you basically ran by yourself for a number of years, so I just find it hard to believe that youāre gonna simply be an advisor to your wife. And donāt get me wrong, okay? Donāt start talking about how marriage is sacrifice and all that kind of stuff, because I do believe thatās true for a lot of people, but not for the Locke-ness monster. No, no, you have way too much to say. How is work going, by the way? Itās good? I know you like to flip coins. Is that how you decide who handles what division?
Ashland: Weāre handling things just fine, thank you.
Billy: Iām sure thatās what you want Victoria to think. You know, she has waited her entire life to get control of Newman. And you just threw a big, old wrench into her plans by sticking around longer than she expected. Iām sure that makes for interesting dinner talk.
Ashland: [ Laughs ] Iām guessing you think youāre going to shock me with your macabre sense of humor, but you know something? A guy like me doesnāt reach the heights I have while maintaining some kind of delicate sensibility. I will say this, though. I think I understand why you have such a bitter view of marriage, given your sordid history.
