This merger means everything to Garvin.

Give a man a $100 million

and you create a frustrated billionaire.

The new compression algorithms

should shift industry standards...

...to full-res digitized video

at 60 fields per second...

...with platform-independent

RISC processors supported by...

...a 32-bit color-active....

Conley's a conservative company.

Is Meredith conservative?

I don't know.

I thought you knew her.

Is there anything you don't know?

We offer, through technology...

...what religion and revolution

have promised but never delivered:

Freedom from the physical body.

Freedom from race and gender...

...from nationality and personality,

from place and time.

Communicating by cellular phone

and hand-held computer...

...PDA and built-in fax modem...

...we can relate to each

other as pure consciousness.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Smart, touching base

with all the division heads.

Especially since she didn't name them

in her speech.

Does it mean something?

Only if she plans to make changes.

Phil said she wasn't planning

on making any changes.

You know Meredith.

Stephanie, wait a minute.

I gotta know, am I out of a job?

What was she bending your ear about

all lunch?

Uh, Stephanie? Um, nothing.

Just small talk.

What, all of a sudden

there's Stephanie Lite?

She's, uh, talking about her son

at the university.

-Sorry I didn't get to mention you.

-That's okay. That's fine.

I'm jammed all day but why

don't you come up around 7?

We'll have a drink

and catch up on business.

Sure, that'd be great.

I remember how you liked

a good bottle of wine. I'll get one.

-What's she want to see you at 7 about?

-I'm sure it's the problems with Arcamax.

We gotta get in sync before

these Conley guys ask questions.

She doesn't give you a boner?

Because, you know,

I definitely have lift-off.

What about you? You got a woody?

She's very nice.

-I'll tell you what the company line is.

-Don't do that.

You have a sexual urge every 20 minutes.

It's a physiological certainty.

It's hard-wired into your limbic brain.

You can't fight it.

Why would you want to? Live a little.

Ten years from now,

you'll need a forklift to get a hard-on.

-Ha-ha-ha. I'll call you.

-I'm counting the minutes.

[ALL LAUGHING]

TOM:
There you are.

Where've you been all day?

I didn't get it.

No, they went outside the division.

Someone from Operations.

What can I say? I got passed over.

Yeah. What can I say?

So did you get those tickets

for Disneyland?

No, I know,

but I promised the guy and it's....

Mohammed Jafar.

Right, so it's one F.

Thanks a lot. Probably won't be home

for dinner tonight. Don't wait up.

Okay.

I love you too. Bye.

Are there any asset sale triggers?

In the indenture?

Mm-hm.

[WHISPERS]

Will you do me a favor?

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Look, Alan,

Brown will go 250 on this, easy.

Let's just do this thing

as a top-down recap.

Not a bad idea for a girl, huh?

[LAUGHS]

Let's talk first thing. Okay, bye.

'91 Pahlmeyer. How'd you know?

I've been looking all over for it.

I like all the boys under me to be happy.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

Mm. I brought the files up for Arcamax

if you wanna go over them.

Let me see your pictures.

The, uh, diagrams?

Your family. You have pictures?

Yeah, sure.

[SIGHS]

Here's, uh.... Here

That's Matthew.

That's Eliza at Halloween.

-And here's Susan with the kids.

-Ah.

She looks like she always has

food in the refrigerator.

-She never lost the baby weight--

-I didn't say she looks like a refrigerator.

-Ha-ha-ha.

-I mean, she's made a home for you.

In my fridge I've got bottles

of champagne and an orange.

Doesn't Eliza look beautiful?

She looks like Susan.

It can be inhibiting.

-What's that?

-Domesticity.

Ah. You'd be surprised.

I don't imagine

you can jump her from behind...

...because you get excited by the way

she bends to pick up the soap.

Remember that?

I remember that.

And you miss it.

I have my compensations.

Of course. Life's a series of trade-offs.

I wouldn't trade what I have.

I wouldn't want you to.

That's exactly why I can trust you.

You have a lot more to lose than I do.

I'll bring you up to speed

on the problems with the drives.

You kept in good shape, Tom.

Nice and hard.

Thank you.

Meredith, it's different now.

You're my boss.

It's different.

Okay.

Rub my shoulders and I'll listen

to your problems.

[SIGHS]

The specs and the seek times

call for 100 milliseconds.

We have that on the prototypes.

But the drives coming off the line--

-Do you have the drives here?

-It might be a chip.

-Answer my question.

-I'm trying to.

Understand the controller chip

positions the split optics.

I'll show you the schematic.

No, no, no. Rub.

-You can't understand the problem--

-Do you have the drives?

Arthur sent five units--

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MEREDITH:
Did I say no calls?

-It's Mr. Garvin.

But after that, nobody.

Is it all right if I leave for the day?

That's fine, Mrs. Ross.

You'd rather talk about

a million different things...

...than answer my question,

because you don't know.

You don't know what the problem is.

But you can't say, "I don't know"...

...because in your mind that means

you lose. You're worthless. Men.

-What will you tell Conley?

-I can't lie to them.

Talk about the prototypes. They work.

Focus on the positive.

We're on-line. It's not

about the prototypes.

They wanna know you're

confident you can build it.

-I understand that, but I--

-Do you have a problem working for me?

No. I, uh....

Hi, Bob. No.

You don't wanna hear

about my hard day.

Yes, that's hard work.

-Let me get my docs together.

-Meredith--

The merger is not about Arcamax,

it's about people.

They're comfortable with me and Bob.

This isn't about some CD-ROM

that'll be obsolete in a year.

If they ask,

then you tell them you don't know.

Hi, Bob, I'm here.

I've got a great idea about that.

Go ahead.

Lewyn, this is Sanders.

I've discussed the drives with Meredith.

She says don't tell the Conley people...

...until we found exactly

what the problems are.

That is the line for the 8 a.m.

meeting tomorrow--

Let's get down to business.

Wait a sec, wait a sec.

Meredith, wait a second.

-There, was that so bad?

-That's not so bad, it's just--

Come on, while there's still

a chance we might get caught.

No, no.

Oh, yes, I think so.

Meredith, no, no, no.

Some things never change,

and some things just get better.

TOM:

Meredith, come on.

Meredith, Meredith, no.

-Remember all the things we did?

-I remember.

Things nobody knows about you but me.

All our secrets.

[MOANS]

Just lie back and let me take you.

I could've had anybody and I picked you.

Now you've got all the power.

No, no, no. No, no, no.

You've got something I want.

-What are you doing?

-Doesn't that make you feel good?

-No.

-Just let me. Come on.

-Unh. No, no, no.

-Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite.

Let me do whatever I want.

-You just lie back and let me be the boss.
