Mm-hmm. It's so ridiculous. Do you love Drew? No, don't do anything. Just stay exactly where... Do you love Drew? He's not gonna get a better offer than that.

It works. If food is the prose of a party, lights are its poetry. I like that. If music were the food of love, play on. I'm going out of my mind. Good morning, Mr. Parrish. - What do you think of all this, Helen? - It's gonna be beautiful. And Allison says the president may come. The president's got better things to do than come to my birthday party. Like what?

I'm probably. Listen, I'm crazy about the guy. He's smart. He's aggressive. He could carry Parrish Communications into the 21st century and me along with it. Mm-hmm. So, what's wrong with that? That's for me. I'm talking about you.

Joe sounds like a ringer, Bill. I have a feeling you guys got the broad strokes already. You need any help with the details?

- ~ Dum-da-dum ~ - What's this? - Um, Annie made them. - Who's Annie? Thank you, Lillian. From La Rosette? She's only the most famous pastry chef in America. Um, this is orange, made with real Seville oranges. And, uh, that's lemon on a mille-feuille crust. I don't like cake. It's for the party, Dad. Ah. The goddamn party. The goddamn party. Mm-hmm. - Did you hear that? - I'm sorry.

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.

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?

- Hello, Jennifer. - Good morning, Mr. Parrish. - The board is waiting. - What? - The board? - Didn't you call a board meeting? No.

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

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?
Meet Joe Black

Till now.

I don't think so. Do you? To get to the point, we've received new information from John Bontecou... concerning his desires for this company to merge with his. And we wanted to set the details before you. Is that it? Bontecou wants a quick response, and... The answer is no. Quick enough for you? - Don't you want to hear the details? - I'm not interested. I'm not interested in the big picture either. What I am interested in... is how my board got convened behind my back... and is entertaining a further proposal from a man with whom it offends me to do business.
Meet Joe Black

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?
