"One, if I'm gonna... commit to staying on here at Foxcatcher," "I need to know that Mark's gonna be taken care of." "Well, taken care of how?" "So long as I'm at Foxcatcher, Mark's gonna get paid." "You want him to be paid even if he's not here?" "Yeah, that's pretty much it." "BECK:" "Dave, you may be overestimating your importance to Foxcatcher." "DAVE:" "Well, that may be so."
