- 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.

Am I not obligated to?

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.

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?

- Joe? - Hmm? May I kiss you? Why, yes, you can. Mmm. Thank you. You're welcome. - Joe? - Mmm. I don't know who you are. - I'm Joe. - Mm-hmm. And, uh, you're Susan. Mmm. And... I have this... weak feeling in my knees. - And is your heart beating strangely? - Yes. - Mm-hmm. - Faster. The taste of your lips and the touch of your tongue... that was wonderful. Mmm.
