And don't you get me started on
the pork
Have you tried the pork?
Well no, sir.I'm not much of
a meateater myself.
But I hear really great things
about the pork.
So you don't eat
pork at all?
No, sir.
Are you jewish?
Is that why you don't
eat pork, Ezra?
Well ...Can we start with
your first name, Mr Thomas?
Ben.
No order for Ben Thomas.
Wow, hold on.
What was that voice?
I don't have an order for
a Ben Thomas.

- Excuse me?
You're kidding me.
A blind beef salesman
who doesn't eat meat.
Now that, that is rich,

Have you ever had sex, Ezra?
Did Lawrence in accounting put
you up to this?
Because somehow I can't
imagine a blind-
-vegan beef salesman
having sex.
- Listen, i'm trying to help you sir.
- You're trying to help me?
The blind beef salesman
is trying to help me?
I'm actually starting to feel
pretty bad for you, Ezra,
Because I look at my life and
it is surrounded by so much beauty,
and you can't see sh*t.
Is that fair?
Does that seem fair to you, Ezra?

- Godness ...
No she left this morning

She asked me to watch Duke
until she got back.
Okay ...
You've ever tried mixing banana
peel into the soil?
- Really?
- It works, I swear.
Would you by chance know where I can find her?
Cardiac wing?
Take the elevator to the fifth
floor, then turn left.
Thank you.

It's absolutely impossible.
Hold the elevator!
Thank you.
Can I help you?
Yes, good evening.

You know it is really important
That I speak to her for just a moment.
You'll just have to come back
during visiting hours.
Thank you very much.
So if there's one thing that I have
learned and that you all should remember
about winning these contracts.
Three steps, first:
Tell them what you're gonna to Tell them.
Step two:
You tell 'em.Step three:
Tell 'em what you told 'em.
So we are gonna close by reminding them-
-that ol' girl here has
-C-level to vacuum-
and if they pass on that, quite
frankly, they deserve another Sputnik.
Now if you will excuse me-
-I have a very lovely very hungry
woman at home waiting for me
Sarah!?
Honey!?
Everyone at work kept saying
it was daylight savings time.
- You were supposed to be here a while ago.
- I kept saying it wasn't.
This happens all the time
and it's always work.
- I'm sorry.
- Well I'm angry with you.
I'm gonna be angry with you all night long.
In fact ... What are you doing?
I'm angry with you, okay?
How about i'm angry with you?
Hello.
Hey it's me, it's your brother.
Where are you?
I'm at the beach house.
Are you okay?
Ofcourse.
Listen, Why did you disconnect the landline?
The phone broke.
I don't need it anymore.
Did I do something?
No, nuh-oh. Unless you're smoking again.
No, I put on 20 pounds.
I'm in the best shape of my life.
Are you eating? Are you taking care
of yourself? Cuz', well you sound terrible again.
Yeah I'm fine.
Look, I gotta go.
Give Melanie and the kids,
a hug and a kiss.
I'll talk to you later.
You take care of yourself.
Wo hold on, listen.
I know it's been a while ...
But when you we're staying here,
You didn't take something of mine by mistake, did you?
I remember giving you something.
Do you remember that ?
Because I remember that very clearly.
Yeah.
Just remember I love you.
Hi, my name is Ben Thomas.
I here to see Stewart Goodman.
Inez, look at me, please.
Inez! I'm speaking to you.
I understand you refused to take your
meds again this afternoon, is that true?
No, no.
Let's try using your words
this time, okay Inez?
I mean this silent treatment
isn't doing anybody any good.
Inez, how can we help you if you...
Okay, how about I come back tomorrow
and see if you've changed your mind, okay?.
That a girl.
I thought I was coming to your office today.
Yes, I was in the neighbourhood and
thought i'd stop by, save you the drive.
Terrific.
Let's go talk in my office.
Come on.
I take a non nonesense approach
I cut the operating cost of this
place over 17% last year, alone.
I am sure that made them happy.
Hell yeah!
Now if I can only get my own,
personal finances in that kinda shape ...
I wouldn't have you sitting here, no offense
That you're new beemer out front?
(BMW)
Ben, I mean ...
When I found out that my bone marrow transplant
wasn't succesfull ...
I'm well aware of your ongoing medical condition.
Things aren't looking very promising for me
Look.
I have a bonus coming in january.
I just really need this six months extension.
Really I mean,I'm doing the
very best I can here, I promise you.
I'll be in touch.
Well, thank you I appreciate it.
I mean, this way everybody wins, right?
Hello.
My name is Ben.
I totally understand if you don't
wanna speak to me either-
-but I would really like to just
have a moment of your time.
I'm trying to figure out
What kind of man Stewart Goodman is.
It is whitin my power
to drasticly change his circumstances.
But I don't wanna give that man a gift
that he doesn't deserve.
I need you to tell me,
wether or nothe is a good person.
"The drug he gives me, makes me dizzy."
"I want a new one."
That sounds very reasonable Inez.
What else?
You can trust me.
What else, Inez?
He's punishing you?
How is he punishing you?
How is he punishing you, Inez?
Ben?
Ben, where are you going?
