​

Grady : That's true, but we know we can't stay competitive without investing in a lot of new equipment.

​

Sarah : I'm surprised you could convince your father to sell. He always seemed determined to hand down the company to the next generation.

​

Grady : I haven't convinced him yet. He's insisting on a family meeting to discuss it.
