bracket,

with a possible carryover

into the 12-year-olds.

When you consider that

GoBots and Transformers

pull 37% market share

I'm sorry.

and that we are targeting

the same area,

I think that we should see

one-quarter of that,

and that is one-fifth

of the total revenue

from all of last year.

Excellent, Paul.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Any questions?

No.

Not from me.

Yes?

- Yes?

- I don't get it.

What, exactly, don't you get?

It turns from a building

into a robot. Right?

Precisely.

Well, what's fun about that?

Well, if you had read

your industry breakdown,

you would see that our success

in the action figure area...

has climbed from 27% to 45%

in the last two years.

There. That might help.

Oh.

- Yes?

- I-I still don't get it.

What?

What don't you get, Josh?

There's a million robots

that turn into something.

This is a building

that turns into a robot. What's fun

about playing with a building?

- That's not any fun.

- This is a skyscraper.

Well, couldn't it be,

like, a robot that turns into,

like, a bug or something?

A bug?

Yeah.

- A prehistoric insect with claws

that could pick up a car.

- Interesting.

A prehistoric Transformer?

Interesting.

- So the robot turns into a bug?

- Uh, gentlemen--

You've got

a very good idea here!

The robot

turns into a bug!

This is a great idea!

Wh--

Different sizes--

Susan, we could

do ladybugs!

You could

have him wreck buildings.

Transformers for girls!

A building is inert.

A bug, it moves, it's got

all kinds of possibilities.

This doesn't just happen.

This guy-- This doesn't happen.

He doesn't just come to

a meeting and say "bugs."

Uh--

Well done, Josh. Well done.

Oh-ho! He is vicious!

He's not vicious.

Don't kid yourself.

That man is a killer.

All he said was,

he didn't get it.

"I don't get it. I don't get it.

Let's make it a bug!"

He was going for the throat,

trying to eviscerate me.

Did you see the look

on MacMillan's face?

Mm-hmm.

It's quite a unique space.

The lines are so clean,

and you don't get any

of that partition quality.

It has 50-foot ceilings,

all hardwood floors,

ample closet space,

a modern kitchen,

a brand-new bathroom

with a jet-stream Jacuzzi.

We'll take it!

Baskin! Rental delivery!

Come out. Come out.

Hey! What, are you nuts?

So close.

Dear Mom and Dad:

They said...

that I could write you...

and let you know I was okay.

Whoa! Check it out!

So far they're treating me fine.

I got enough to eat--

Two!

and am perfectly safe.

# I'm takin' what they're givin'

'cause I'm workin' for a livin' #

Rebound!

They say I'll get out of here--

Two!

in about a month.

# Whoa-ohh

Takin' what they're givin' #

# Whoa-ohh

Workin' for a livin' ##

In the meantime,

it's a lot like camp.

I watch TV--

I got it! I got it!

I got it!

Hooray!

and even get outside...

once in a while.

I know...

you miss me,

but try not to worry.

I think...

this experience...

might even be good for me.

Knocked him out!

I love you very much...

and I know...

I'll see you soon.

Your son,

Joshua.

P.S.

Give Rachel a kiss

from her big brother.

Hey.

Oh, hey. Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

The computers were down

for, like, 45 minutes.

There was nothing

I could do about it.

What is this?

It's a letter to my mom.

She's gonna feel--

This is terrible!

No. You don't mail it--

You're gonna get her

all screamin' and cryin'--

No, I'm not.

It's just a letter

to say I'm okay and stuff.

Come on.

Why can't I go with you?

Bill-- I told you, Billy.

It's only for people

in the company, so you can't.

I could be your assistant.

Billy!

Fine. Fine.

Just go to your fancy party...

while I stay at home by my mailbox

and wait for your stupid carnival list.

It's just this once, okay?

Sure.

Yes. That's a beautiful fit.

Here, Paul. Take this,

go over to the mirror,

put the hat on

and look at yourself.

What color would you call this?

Can I help you?

Yeah. I'd like to

rent a tuxedo.

Uh, I see. Is-Is-Is there

any particular occasion?

Yeah. His company

is havin' a party.

Uh, well, then you probably

want something simple.

Maybe a nice black, uh,

with a p-p-p

Whoa! Check it out.

Oh, wow. Feel that.

What do you think?

I like it.

Look at these.

Uh, usually this type of tuxedo

is popular with students--

senior proms, juvenile dress-ups

and maybe a fancy p--

Look at this one.

Ooh.

What kind of tuxedo

is this?

That's not a tuxedo!

That's a morning coat.

Well, what do you call this?

Ugly.

Oh, hey. I've got it.

Excuse me.

I'll be right back. Oy.

I really wanna go home.

Maybe we got off

on the wrong foot.

Let's start again.

Hey, smell my neck.

Mm-mmm.

I was hopin'

for a raise, sir.

A raise.

Just-Just-Just a little one.

All right, a little one.

Kim. Have a good time.

I'll see what I can do.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

All right.

Come on, George.

You can't sell to the parents.

You sell to the kids.

I disagree.

Listen. You hit 'em

at 7:
00 in the morning while

their folks are still asleep.

Then you get 'em good

and jacked up for three hours...

so that by 10:
00,

they're rippin' the house apart.

It's timing, George. Timing.

You want that parent

to wake up...

listening to

Little Jennifer screaming,

"Puppy Pal, Puppy Pal."

It's very beautiful

and I'm having a lovely time.

I'm delighted, Miss Patterson.

It's much better than last year.

I just wanted to tell you that.

How are you gents

doing here?

Double up on

the scotch, will you?

Right away, sir.

Here you are, sir.

Susan.

Love your tux.

I think it's the same

as the matre d's.

Yeah. Have you decided

what you're doing

on the Danbury line?

No, I haven't.

Well, uh, I think if you got

everyone's input up front,

I mean, right from

the beginning, you can--

Susan, have a drink.

What?

Have a couple of drinks.

It's a party.

It's a party.

Look at this!

Oh, God!

Josh! I'm glad

you could make it.

Bet he gets another raise.

Now, that's

what I call a tuxedo.

I rented it.

This is a real bow tie though.

I tied it myself.

That's why I was late.

No, you're not

late at all.

Let me show you around.

There's Miss Patterson. Hi.

There's a guy from the meeting!

- Would you like a drink

uh, champagne, glass of wine?

- No, just some milk.

Why not?

You on the wagon?

No, I'm at a party.

It works on your hips.

You need a whole other exercise

for your thighs. It's true.

Hi.

Let me grab

a plate here.

Excuse me.

This looks good.

...from the I.R.S. tells me

that I can't amortize like that,

s-so I show him the schedule,

and then he says,

"It's not accepted

accounting procedure."

I say, "You little pissant."

Try a little bit of, uh--

That looks good.

Yeah.

Want to get a load of that guy.

He's a little overdressed.

Look, my feet really hurt.

Yeah? You want me

to rub 'em?

You know, most people,

they don't know

how to rub feet.

Think it's in the thumbs.

It's the knuckles.

Now put some

eucalyptus oil on--
