Kila: I need to talk to you.
Ferris: I didn’t drink my coffee yet.
Kila: It’s important. Ferris, you have been my subordinate for very nearly two years now.
Ferris: you’re FIRING ME
Kila: No. Hush. I can’t… okay, I can’t afford to keep you on forever. You are good with machines and you are smart.
Ferris: You are FIRING ME.
Kila: I am not. Stop. In the past few years, you have made very few bidness contacts. What will you do without me?
Ferris: I don’t know so don’t fire me.
Kila: Listen to me! I am not firing you! Someday, you will have to move on or spend your life shackled to this dead-end mockey that has become my existence. Kao likes you. He may offer you a better job at his company. If he does, accept. That is an order!
Ferris: But you’re my friend. And if we need more money, I can always steal it!
Kila: Look at me. You are not a killer. Your family will not always protect you. I can’t always protect you. You need to find legitimate work. Not the kind I’m doing, either, the kind that pays.
