l mean, do you honestly believe that

that blanket

has something to do

with everything that's been going on?

Look, l don't know what's happening.

l know something's happening.

l need for it to happen

one more time tonight.

So, now we're back to what you need.

Hey, Trish, what do you want me to do?

Blow off an opportunity

l've been waiting for since grad school

and lose my job?

Evan, you have two jobs,

and one of those jobs is being a father.

And she needs to know

that you care as much about that job

as you do the other.

- l do. Of course l do.

- Then leave the blanket.

l can't. Not tonight, l can't.

l don't expect you to understand.

How you doing, Feather Man?

Pretty good, brother. How you doing?

Not so bad. A little amped, a little tired.

Ain't nothing but a thing.

How about another Red Bull?

Wouldn't say no to that.

- Good luck, Johnny.

- Luck is for losers.

Good. Here we are.

Gentlemen, this is Mr. D'Enzo.

- Hello.

- Nice to meet you, sir.

Mr. D'Enzo. John Whitefeather.

Have a seat, guys.

D- Papa-D to the Feather Man.

l think you're reading my signals.

And l think you're reading them

loud and clear.

You're getting the wisdom.

Diversification.

Buy long, sell short.

- Sell short, buy long.

- Hi.

Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to the Fall Sing.

It's so good to see

so many of you here today.

WeII, I can hear a Iot of

very excited chiIdren back there,

who, Iike their parents, are not here

to Iisten to me continue taIking.

So without further ado,

the wonderful Chilton School choir.

Summer fades into the blue

Brand new colors come into view

Seasons change

I have, too

Just like the leaves of autumn

You know what l see in this room

that nobody else sees?

Hidden feathers.

That's what we share, hidden feathers!

Crow feathers.

Right now,

l need you to caw with me.

One crow to another crow.

Bring it. Come on. Bring it in.

l know you want to let it out,

but l appreciate you keeping it in.

There it be, brother crow.

Look forward to working with you, man.

Wow.

l've never seen anything like that before.

l know.

No, you don't know.

Quite frankly, that's one of the

biggest loads of crap l've ever heard.

What possible excuse can you give us

for wasting our time

with that unctuous stream of drivel

that you call a presentation?

- My kid.

- What?

My kid.

He's been wanting to get more involved

in my workplace life.

He's like, "Dad, l'm on a vision quest.

l got some investment ideas."

l'm like, "You're nine.

How many good ideas could you have?"

He's on a vision quest. l'm like,

"Vision quest, my red butt! But..."

You're blaming your child?

- Look, don't let it rattle your corn stalk...

- All right, enough!

l don't mind this lndian business

when it's working.

- When it's not, it's just annoying.

- Whoa!

- That's deep shadow time.

- Seriously, cut the crap.

You're not even a real Native American.

The fact is

you're mostly Finnish-Armenian.

Your baptismal name

is Johann Hasuvian.

And your great-grandfather

was one half Navajo.

So, what would that make you? 1/32?

Frankly, you are an offense

to true Native Americans,

- and if you have nothing better to offer...

- All right, all right.

Johnny Whitefeather can see

which way this wind's blowing.

lt's your loss! Old croaking toad.

l'm going this way!

Well, Mr. Danielson?

Looks like this job is yours to lose.

l'll get right to it.

Mr. Danielson?

Evan?

l can't do this.

l'm sorry?

l messed up. l really have.

Sorry, what?

- Are you walking out?

- l'm really sorry, sir. l just can't.

You realize what you're giving up?

Yes, sir, l do.

Sorry, Tom.

Could l see that brochure, please?

Ain't nothing but a thing, man.

Next, we wiII sing

a traditionaI Japanese foIk song

about the bIooming

of the cherry blossom, the Sakura.

Sorry! Sorry about that!

The next song is one you aII know,

so feeI free to sing aIong.

Just don't sing Iouder than us.

lt's our concert.

## Love, Iove, Iove ##

Music sounds only

Nice king hat.

lt's called a crown.

You know,

you were really great in there.

- Thanks.

- Hey, listen, l got something for you.

- l don't need it anymore.

- Really?

l was hoping you would take it,

and, you know,

you'd help me apologize

to the princesses.

- You can do it yourself.

- l can?

Yeah, they're right there.

Okay. Well...

Sopida, l wish that l could say

you were wrong about me,

but, obviously,

you and your dragon knew better.

l'm sorry.

Thank you for protecting Olivia

while l was away.

And Kupida and Mopida,

l'm sorry for taking you for granted

and just expecting things from you

and not realizing how smart and kind

and truly amazing you really are.

Qwali, thank you so much

for letting me come into your mystical,

magical world,

- 'cause it's a truly magical...

- Daddy, they're leaving. They got bored.

They were bored.

Do you want me to ask them to stay?

Well, what do they want to do?

They said it's time for them to go.

Well, then l think they should go then.

Wave goodbye.

There they go.

Hey, guys. What you doing?

Just waving goodbye to Qwali

and the princesses.

Really? They're going away?

How about that?

You know, l think

there's somebody here to see you.

Wow, so, they're really gone?

Nice outfit.

l take it this is why

you walked out of our meeting.

Do you know how many people

have ever done anything like that to me?

- Two.

- Two.

You want to know where they are

in their careers right now?

Each one is running

a key division of my company.

l don't want any sycophants around me.

l want people with confidence

who are not afraid to make decisions,

even under pressure.

lncidentally, this is very good.

You are very good indeed,

and l want you

to head our western division.

l'd like to discuss that with you,

so, please...

Sir, l would love to discuss it now,

but it's Saturday.

Sure.

- Well, Monday, then.

- Monday.

- Well, congratulations.

- Thank you very much.

l have a daughter, too.

l haven't seen her for years.

- So, have a pleasant Saturday.

- You, too, sir.

So, what are you guys doing

with the rest of the day?

l don't know. What do you want to do?

l think Mommy should get a chance

to try some of your special pancakes.
