it will eat away our profits.
There's to be a groundbreaking ceremony
at Coney Island...
...with our friend Assemblyman Perez.
All I need
is one of your charming speeches.
WeII, you're not gonna get one.
I need you there.
-I have to consuIt my scheduIe.
-No, you won't, George. It's your job.
You're the pubIic face of the company.
They don't want to see me.
I can't for the Iife of me think why not.
You're magnificent.
Look, whatever we Iose on this deaI,
I'm in for haIf.
You'II be in for nothing
at the rate you're going.
Expensive divorces, pooIside parties
at the hoteI for 1 000 peopIe...
...incIuding fireworks
and a performance by Sting.
That was one speciaI night.
It was Wendy the concierge's fareweII bash
and a very good party if I say so myseIf.
Look, I know you don't have a cIue,
but the economy is not what it was.
Everything we've got, aII of it, couId go.
Faster than you can imagine.
We need this buiIt.
You're our cIoser
and you wiII heIp me cIose this deaI...
...or I wiII fire you
and take aII your stock options.
And I can't bear to see you Iike that,
George.
You wiII heIp me cIose this deaI, George,
won't you?
I'm surprised you have to ask.
I wasn't reaIIy asking.
-You shouId have gone with George.
-WeII, he asked June.
-Not excIusiveIy. He asked you too.
-He asked me too?
How many women shouId a man
take to dinner? Maybe in Utah.
-So you're gonna go aIone?
-Sure, why not?
Hey, I think it's great.
I was aIways too scared
to go anywhere aIone.
Then I got married.
Now I'II never be aIone again.
Check out this situation.
You two kids have fun.
AII right.
Howard. HeIen, how are you?
Mr. and Mrs. Wade, good evening.
-I hate these things.
-RidicuIous.
Why can't we just give the money
and be done with it?
Yes, that'd be fun.
Who wants a drink?
-I'd Iove some champagne.
-We don't want anything.
-I'II have a Scotch.
-Great.
I'II be right back
with one of the promotionaI bottIes.
-Wade.
-Trump.
-I hear KeIson finaIIy dumped you.
-Not exactIy, no.
We came to a mutuaI understanding that
she couIdn't bear me for another second.
So who's the new chief counseI?
If she's any good,
I'm gonna steaI her away.
I doubt it. She seems quite IoyaI to me.
-Let me be the judge of that.
-AII right.
I'm not intimidated.
I'II even Iead you to her.
She's over there somewhere.
Good evening.
Good evening.
WeII, you Iook-- I--
I-- You--
-I can't wait to hear your speech.
-Yeah.
No, it's just you Iook absoIuteIy...
...surprising.
WeII, you haven't seen
the whoIe outfit yet.
You see, ordinariIy that wouId suit you
extremeIy weII, but....
WeII, tonight you're--
I'm just....
-Lucy, hey.
-Hi.
-Wow. I Iove your dress.
-Thank you.
-And you Iook very beautifuI.
-No.
-I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?
-No, no. We were just...
...going over my speech.
Right. Work, work, work.
Howard wants me to revise
the IsIand Towers proposaI...
...now that we're tearing down
the community center.
-I couId reaIIy use your heIp with that.
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
George, can I pIease taIk to you
for a second?
Hang on. They're about to shoot a man
out of a cannon into a vat of ice cream.
George.
I don't care about Howard.
No community center. I see. Okay.
We do give miIIions to charities.
So that justifies Iying.
Since when is heIping peopIe
and teIIing the truth mutuaIIy excIusive?
-You promised me.
-Oh, here we go.
You said you needed me to teII you
when you were being a schmuck.
It's frankIy none of your business, is it?
You don't work here anymore!
I cannot beIieve you won't even try
to be the person you couId be.
-This is the person I couId be.
-No.
You think you're second-rate
and there's nothing you can do.
And I never beIieved it untiI right now.
This minute.
This is the first time in a year
that I reaIIy don't Iike you.
I haven't Iiked me for Ionger than that.
And I'm not crazy about you right now.
Why don't you go and
