"Well, you can't back out of a contract that easily."
"This is a matter of business," Newton said softly, as he waved Mangler aside. "Which comes under my jurisdiction. I'll handle it."
"All right, but don't let him get away with that machine."
"Business is business," smiled Newton. Then to Velikof, he said: "Business is one of the things we Americans specialize in, you know."
