Text

START: DOGSBOROUGH: I should never have accepted this estate. Taking that package as a gift was beyond reproach.
YOUNG DOGSBOROUGH: Of course it was.
DOGSBOROUGH: And sponsoring that loan, when I discovered to my own detriment that a thriving line of business was languishing for lack of funds, was hardly dishonest.

YOUNG DOGSBOROUGH: No, father. Do you feel better now?
