Twice as Hard, Twice as Good (2021)

Jeff Hephner: Jack Harmon

Quotes 

• Olivia Dupont : Did your father ever tell you how the DuPonts and the Harmons formed Darmon?

  Jack Harmon : Yeah. Our great-grandfathers were best friends. Just like me and Raymond used to be.

  Olivia Dupont : Not quite. There was respect, yes, but your great-grandfather was no more to Raymond's great-grandfather than a guarantor for a loan at a time when a Black man couldn't get one on his own. Now, granted, your family did us a solid, but we returned the favor 100-fold by allowing generations to participate financially. But those shares are not yours to sell. Listen carefully. You may not sell your shares to Teddy Franklin.

  Jack Harmon : You're not my mother. And according to you, we're not even family. No more than a guarantor. Isn't that what you just said to me, Olivia?
