I'm at the door.
Very immediately, he takes out a checkbook with a blank signed check and a piece of paper.
He says, ma'am, we're not here to negotiate.
We'll give you whatever you want.
Mother immediately pushes back, says, it's not about the money.

I'm not selling this land.
It's really not about the money.
Immediately, he gets belligerent and says, I am going to make you sign this today.
So I was shocked.
My mother was shocked.
She says, excuse me, please leave now.

Now, I am at the door.
I'm 14 years old, pretty big kid by then.
