Van Marney:  It 's amazing . When his father found the steamship company things were so simple . You hired a man , paid him what he deserved . A fair wage for a good day 's work .
Linc Hayes: The good old days , Mr. Marney ?
Van Marney: Quite . Before the day of the anarchist , the agitator . Nobody told you whom to hore , what to pay them . There was no bargaining with rabble . A man earned the dollar or he did not . Simple .
Linc Hayes: And if there was no job he went hungry .
Pete Cochran: Are we here to talk about business or philosophy ?
Van Marney: How does one really separate the _ two _ ?
