Have you been talking to anyone? No, I haven't been talking to anybody, Carl. I'm not stupid. I know you're not stupid, Eddie, but don't make the classic smart person's mistake. Thinking no one's smarter than you. Where the hell have you been? This is the second time you've turned to vapor. I was in the building, I was getting coffee. Why, has there been movement? Yeah, there's been movement alright. Atwood's in a coma. He wasn't playing us. He's dying. What do you know about this? I was less than usually equipped to answer. The dullness was coming on. I was overdue to take my NZT. And the pain was starting behind my eyes. Excuse me. You're not excused. What? A man in your employ can't take a piss, Carl?

All right, I'm gonna ask you again, Eddie. What do you know about this? - What? About the leak? - No. About Atwood. What? What about Atwood? Look, you got a long way to go as a liar, kiddo. - Carl, I don't know what you're... - Listen! What you're about to say is bullshit. I know there's something you're hiding from me. I smell it on you. Right now, I wanna know why this clusterfuck of a deal is dead in the water! Carl. Eddie! Eddie!

Outside Lenox Hill Hospital today, more twists and turns in the Van Loon-Atwood merger. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor of this merger. None whatsoever. My husband is having tests. This is a difficult time. We would appreciate your directing further questions to our attorney. Yes, we have no further comments at this time. We're just awaiting the results of the latest round of tests and hoping for the best. Thank you.
