This is not a tribute; it's a reckoning told with love. Under the chronology runs a father, a son, and a clock: Scott trying to hold onto Bob, and onto Bob's truth, before either is gone. The plumb bob in the Moss mark is our spine — you hang a weight against your values and keep checking that you're still true to plumb.
The question the whole film asks: can the soul of a company survive its own success? The antagonist isn't a villain — it's success itself, and time. The answer was hiding in plain sight: it was never the buildings. It was always the people.
This FINAL script now carries the essentials of the former Story Bible — logline, dramatic engine, character map, and tonal north stars — so the bible is retired as a separate document.
Drawn from Moss's own materials and public record — safe for narration, lower-thirds, and titles.
