Well, uh, I'm hap... I'm happy to tell you I got good news. As I was, uh, as I was telling Drew, uh, I've been making a little hay while the Bontecou sun was shining. Two, possibly three, new and boiling hot prospects for merger. Mm-hmm. And how did Bill react to the leads you've developed? He was interested. Yeah, but he was concerned about the timing?

Now, what we're trying to do here is to, uh... to gather our thoughts in light of Bill's rejection of Bontecou's offer... and to make an appropriate presentation to him... as to how we think the company might proceed. Won't you share with our board the information you gave me last night?

See if Quince is here. How did all this come about? Crisis, Bill Parrish. Crisis, his company. Crisis for us. It came about with the arrival on the scene of Mr. Joe Black. Mr. Joe who? Joe Black. He attends our board meetings. He sleeps at Bill's house. He resides in his office. He never leaves his side, and, in my opinion, is always in his ear, telling Bill what to do. And Bill is listening. Who is Joe Black? What... What is his relationship to Bill Parrish, and most important, what is behind his influence on our chairman? He's had advisors before. Nobody tells Bill what to do.
