"Not long," admitted Kingman, "but while it does, I'm going to get mine."
"What good will it do you?"
"Plenty. Until the crash comes, I'm laying in a stock of stuff for my personal use."
"Lovely set-up," grunted Channing. "Have you started duplicating the duplicating machines yet?"
"Just today."
"Don't do it, Kingman. Venus Equilateral has all the rights sewed up tight."
"What shall I do, Dr. Channing?" asked Kingman sourly. The title grated on Don's ears, and Kingman knew it.
"Stop the whole thing."
"And what are you going to do about it?" asked Kingman. "Take me to court, Channing. Go ahead. Get some litigation started."
"Oh, sure. And you'll tie the thing up for seventy years. And all the time the plant here will be duplicating the whole solar system into the worst mess it ever got itself into. Better stop until we can get something sensible figured out to take care of the conversion."
