- Forgive me for being so rude. - Certainly. Hi, everybody. I'm sorry I'm late. I had to have dinner with my department chief. You ate? I'm here, aren't I? I wouldn't miss a loose ends meeting. What's on the table for discussion? Party favors, flowers... - Hi, Dad. - Hi. - Hello. - Hi, Drew.

No, thank you. I have one, thank you. I get the feeling you've done some business before. I got it.

I'm sorry. Okay. Give it to me again, but the short version this time. Okay. Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike. Yeah? Yeah.

- Good morning, Dad. - Good morning, honey. - Morning. - Morning. You're "Honey. " I'm "Allison. " Oh. Oh, Dad, Drew called from the helicopter, and they're still two minutes away. - Drew's aboard? - Mm-hmm. He wanted to ride back down with you. So why don't you sit down, relax, and get some food in that flat tummy of yours. - Are you coming? - No. You've got patients to attend to. I've got three hysterical chefs, one of whom loves truffles, the other one hates truffles, and the third one doesn't even know what truffles are. - I hate parties. - But, Daddy, calm down. You're gonna love it. I swear. Isn't it enough to be on the Earth for 65 years without having to be reminded of it? No.

I'm going to expose you. Okay. Go right ahead. You tell William Parrish how you betrayed him in a secret board meeting. Tell Allison how you helped her father lose his company.
Meet Joe Black

The lack of response, Bill, is not appropriate. We are your board. We have a right to know how you are managing the operations of this company. And, most importantly, that you have not delegated someone to do it for you. Okay?

- Thanks for coming, Quince. - Sure. Hi, Ed. Hi, folks. I didn't know everybody was going to be here. Nice surprise. What's with the new digs? Drew's idea of cloak and dagger. This is a secret meeting, Quince. I hope you'll respect its nature.

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.

I made a decision. Case closed. So am I to understand from your response... that you do not want to hear the details of Bontecou's offer? Yes, you are to understand that. And now, may I ask you a question? - Certainly, Bill. - Are you running this board, or am I?

Would you like to join me and Allison and Quince for a nightcap?
