Man: Phil, you know my ol' buddy Jack Pew, don't you? Phil: No, I don't believe so. Jack: This is a great honor, sir. Man: Jack here owns Lone Star Petroleum, Phil. Phil: Yes, and I understand you had a big hand in last year's decontrol of oil, Mr. Slackmeyer. Phil: Well, yes, that was a pet project.
