"..I am not going to bullshit you, we are going through a very hard time." "And we have limited resources." "But you know, when I came here 10 years ago, no one believe.." "..that we can build this factory here and we did it." "And now we are here to stay." "Together we can survive this drought." "Remember we are not just Carbide, we are Union Carbide."

"Which holds production, right?" " Correct sir." "Alright then, could you please explain once again on the chart in detail.." "..the specific nature of the solution." " Very good sir." "Simple solution." "Insert a bypass line..." "Uh, a jumper line." "Production continues regardless of repairs." "Mass production." "That's a fundamental structural change." "Dunbury won't approve that." "Sir, the chief minister is returning your call." "Hello Mr. Shukla, thank you so much for returning my call." "You know someone have to work for a living." "Listen my friend, confidentially.." "..we may need to implement some fundamental structural changes here." "Otherwise we may be facing closure." "Yes, sir. I'm afraid it would mean the loss of a great many jobs." "Alright then, could you join us for supper this night?" "How about drinks,?" "You can promise your lovely wife, I'll have you home by ten." "Alright thank you, sir." "Meanwhile.." "..I would like to send the details over straight away.." "..you know since we'll need a confirmation as soon as possible." "Alright." "Thank you, sir." "I'll look forward to seeing you this night as well." "Bye, bye." "This could have serious implication sir." "I am willing to take that risk." "Shane what's going on out there?" "We got some people that have a problem." "You mean a demonstration." " Yeah." "So much for public relations." "Union Carbide" " Shame!" "Shame!" "Union Carbide" " Shame!" "Shame!"

"In America stored in small bottles, why?" "Well we had some pretty complicated regulations in the States." "Things are easier here but no less safe." "So you get to stash huge amounts of poison in the middle of a small town?" "There was no town here, when we started." "We built way out in the Boonies." "Bhopal moved to us." "And now it's a sitting time bomb." "Listen miss, Union Carbide help build the first atomic bomb.." "..which saves millions of lives in 1945." "And we are proud of that." "But we are not in the business of building time bombs." "You are pretty rational about killing." " l deeply regret this incident." "But would you like to know what the biggest widow maker is in India?" "Malaria!" "Carbide is helping to save life here and just for the record miss.." "..we set the highest safety standards in the industry." "And they weren't followed in this case." " lsn't it your job to ensure they are?" "On paper yes, but in reality it's a local issue." "Well what is that mean?" "It means that, Union Carbide does not run Bhopal.." "..Bhopal is run by Carbide India Limited." "Well you are the Carbide CEO, so what are you doing here?" "I came out of a moral obligation frankly.." " ..with your accountant." "Who did you say you work for?" "Wait a minute, you are working with this guy." "He runs that rag." "What?" "Unless I'm AP, I don't get the truth?" "Have I lied to you?" " How do I know?" "All I see is a politician passing the buck." "I invited you in, is a pretty straight forward guy, the least you could do.." "..is try to ask some intelligent question, you might even get a better story." "Your factory is choking this town." " lt stinks, okay." "We are not making perfumes here, but this factory feeds this town." "You are the boss." "Why don't you stop relegating responsibility to this local." "These locals are our people." "Please, don't patronize them, miss." "Yeah, your people and your rules in their country." "You know, I was wrong about you." "You are worse than a politician." "You're beyond accountability." "You're still wrong about me, miss." "I'm just a hard-working Yank trying to make weed-killer." "Yeah, and I'm just a student journalist working my way up." "You are not with AP." "Who are you with, miss?" " Paris Match." "So much for truth." "Can we drop you some place?" " Yeah right here." "Driver stop the car please." "Hey miss, wait up!" "You know, we all want a better world.." "..but somebody has to break ground to build it." "No hard feelings." "Bastards threw you out." "I asked all the questions." "Are you telling the truth?" "Absolutely. I didn't know you work for associated press." "I lied, okay." " You are becoming a proper journalist." "Lalit?" "Lalit!" "?" "Are you still running this town...?" "Mr. Shane, it's not going to happen." "Listen.." " But these structural changes..." "Will increase productivity and safeguard jobs." "Sit down my friend." " Thank you." "Shane, this is question time." "Give me Carbide's file" "Give me some answers." "I have to fight those hooligans, give me answer." "This is a special operations report." "This is like a school report." "They are always rough." "How did you get hold of this?" " l didn't." "The opposition gave it to me, the morning." "The opposition?" " Yes." "And now they proposing to shut down the Carbide." "On what grounds, Lalit?" "How many times we went through this?" "What's new?" "Things have changed now." "Those slums are legal, they have vote and they have right to breathe." "Yeah." "And work..." "Which is what you've got to explain to these people." "They don't know what's good for them sometimes." "It's number game, Shane." "This is India." "We are also a democracy." "Okay but in ten years, you are going to move the plant again.." "..because they are going to come to us." "You are going to bribe me." " No.. no.. this are the fundamentals." "And a little grease for the cogs of democracy." "You said you don't want this." "No, no.." "What is this?" " Sir, this one." "Okay, dear." "Recession is starting, I need to account to my house." "You get yours in order." "Scout's honour." "But tell your house this... ..Carbide is not a stone that could be simple uprooted... ..and moved elsewhere." "It's not that easy, okay?" "How is that for an answer?" "You are a charmer Shane and an American too." "And you smile alot." "It's confusing." "People seem to like it." "There is the problem with you Americans.." "..you think being liked is the same as being understood." "Understood." "Understood, sir." " Okay, bye bye." "And make sure that document gets the higher office, okay?" "Sir Andersen is only here a couple of days." "I refused you for this." "Don't insist.." "Sir, please.." "Sir, this could have been sabotage, arson, anything.." "..A Sikh. I mean, India... lndira Gandhi's been assassinated..." "They're... it's a powder-keg right now." "It's a third world country." "They are always messing." "Thank God we've maintain the strong relationship with the local government." "So our assets are protected." " Sir.." "It's a different game now." "We've got additional influences..." "Cheers!" "I am so sorry you can't stay for supper." "I have a scheduled trunk call from Delhi." "Elections you know." "Yes of course, I hope you know that you have our full support." "Thank you, I'll have to run it pass to my staff, Mr. Andersen." "But I don't see any problem." "Okay, well l'm glad to hear that and kindly remember me to your lovely wife." "Thank you very much." "Nice meeting you." " You too sir." "Bye, bye." " Bye, bye." "You smell that." "It's sandalwood." "I am a little surprise sir." "You know, I go way back, lt's about jobs, Ted." "In the middle of nowhere.." "..making pesticides, this people can't afford." "We came here to help build better farmers, Ted." "Why India?" "It was a personal decision." "You have to go back to the 60's when India lost a war with China.." "..and crawled into bed with the Soviet Union, which made LBJ very nervous." "Starving Mother India bit Uncle Sam's hand." "The very hand that helped stop a major famine." "In response, Uncle Sam said; 'You want our wheat?" "Dance to our beat.' ln the form of a new trade agreement." " PL-480?" "The very one." "In reply to that, India started her Green Revolution." "With high breed seeds and fertilizers and pesticides.." "..all designed to help Indian farmers to feed her own hungry millions." "No, thank you, PL-480." " Exactly." "India was opened for business.." "..and I want a carbide at the heart of the revolution." "Plus for me, personally it was an opportunity.." "..to blend business for social responsibility." "And idealist and a chairman." "That's a tough market to corner." " Yes it is, Edward." "And I did corner it." "And I gave something back." "And now I am going inside for supper." ""Let's go to the city of Ajmer."" ""Let's go to the city of Ajmer."" ""Let's go to the city of Ajmer."" ""Let's go to the city of Ajmer.""

"Multiply fifty with ten thousand half a million." "That's the price of your life." "And you've set it yourself." " Couldn't we get him any cheaper, Ted?" "What's your point?"
