 "Mr. Rearden . . . I don't know . . . what to say to you."
"Why, just 'okay' is all that's necessary,"
"Okay, Mr. Rearden." Eddie's voice was barely audible.
"I'll draw up the papers and send them to you. You can tell Jim about it and have him sign them."
"Yes, Mr. Rearden."
"I don't like to deal with Jim. He'd waste two hours trying to make himself believe that he's made me
believe that he's doing me a favor by accepting."
Eddie sat without moving, looking down at his plate.
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Rearden, I'd like . . . to say thank you . . . but there isn't any form of it big enough to—"
"Look, Eddie. You've got the makings of a good businessman, so you'd better get a few things straight.
There aren't any thank-you's in situations of this kind. I'm not doing it for Taggart Transcontinental.
It's a simple, practical, selfish matter on my part. Why should I collect my money from you now, when it
might prove to be the death blow to your company? If your company were no good, I'd collect, and fast.
I don't engage in charity and I don't gamble on incompetents. But you're still the best railroad in the
country. When the John Galt Line is completed, you'll be the soundest one financially. So I have good
reason to wait. Besides, you're in trouble on account of my rail. I intend to see you win,"
"I still owe you thanks, Mr. Rearden . . . for something much greater than charity."
"No. Don't you see? I have just received a great deal of money . . . which I didn't want. I can't invest it.
It's of no use to me whatever. . . .
So, in a way, it pleases me that I can turn that money against the same people in the same battle. They
made it possible for me to give you an extension to help you fight them."
He saw Eddie wincing, as if he had hit a wound. "That's what's horrible about it!"
"What?"
"What they've done to you—and what you're doing in return. I mean—" He stopped. "Forgive me, Mr.
Rearden. I know this is no way to talk business."
Rearden smiled. "Thanks, Eddie. I know what you mean. But forget it. To hell with them."
"Yes. Only . . . Mr. Rearden, may I say something to you? I know it's completely improper and I'm not
speaking as a vice-president."
"Go ahead."
"I don't have to tell you what your offer means to Dagny, to me, to every decent person on Taggart
