   Odette Brimblecombe-RuizGloria, thrilled to be here. I represent the people who want the CFO to leave and the people who want him to stay.

4. OB

   Odette Brimblecombe-RuizBoth checks cleared.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIntroduce yourself properly, and tell me how that is legal.

6. OB

   Odette Brimblecombe-RuizOdette Brimblecombe-Ruiz, Principal Partner, Both Ways Strategies. It's legal because I wrote the memo that says it is. Twice. One for each side.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBenzinga's editor angle flags leadership uncertainty at an industrial defense contractor. Is that a problem?

8. OB

   Odette Brimblecombe-RuizIt's a huge problem and a tremendous opportunity. My first client calls it chaos. My second client calls it a refreshing chaos.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been asked to leave eleven embassies, and none of them had a lobbyist this flexible. Whose side are you on today?

10. OB

    Odette Brimblecombe-RuizToday I'm on the side of whoever is paying for this segment. #$%&!, that was supposed to be off the record.

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is a live satellite feed, Ms. Brimblecombe-Ruiz. Nothing is off the record except my feud with a goat.

12. OB

    Odette Brimblecombe-RuizFine. Honestly, I have no idea why he's retiring. Opinion only: maybe he just wanted a quiet life and a boat.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOur data does not say why, so that is a guess. Does the retirement hurt the stock or help it?

14. OB

    Odette Brimblecombe-RuizYes. Gloria, we'll have to leave it there, because I just billed both of us for this answer.
