Hey.

Yes?

File's been erased.

Hard drive's gone.

- Good morning.

- Hey, baby.

- Come back to bed.

- No, I can't.

- Come on. Come on.

- No, I can't.

- I'm gonna be late.

- Mmm.

Can you at least

stay for breakfast?

- No.

- Please?

I can't.

I'll call you

if I'm running late, okay?

- Okay.

- I love you.

I love you.

Bye.

Anthony?

I'm in here, baby.

So, I can't get you to stay?

What if I, uh--

What if I wrote a note, like in school,

and I said, "Dear Edward, please

excuse Anthony from his meeting today

because his wife never gets

a chance to see him"?

Come on. Can you stay for another

half an hour, hmm?

Please?

I'll make it really quick.

You never make it really quick.

- Come on.

- I can't, baby.

Come on.

It's a big day.

I know what today is.

Zeffert sent me this file.

It's so big I can't even download it.

I don't understand. If he would've just

handed it to me, I would've read it by now.

I thought technology

was supposed to help us

instead of slow things down.

Oh, that reminds me.

Something came for you by ZepEx.

- I put it in your briefcase.

- Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

The whole thing crashed.

I don't have time for this.

Okay, go.

I'll take care of it.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Look, I know-- I know, uh,

this isn't ideal, all right?

But I love you,

and I'll make it up to you tonight.

Okay. I love you.

Perfect.

Hey, that's great.

Great start.

Fantastic.

Great.

Hey.

Hey, Sumner.

- Oh, hey.

- Hey. Hey.

- Hey.

- Yeah. How are you?

Good. Good. Good.

What do you think of the, uh...

- Looks great. Great.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Sprinklers are just giving me hell.

You know, I have to rotate them,

like, every hour.

- Can't get somebody out here, huh?

- No.

Hey, um, what do you think

of the turtle?

It's, um-- Yeah.

Yeah, I like the beads.

- It's Christmas.

- Yeah.

You know, I figure if my ex-wife

ever stops by,

she'll be, uh, impressed.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

- It's just this-- this-- this whole--

- It'll be fine.

...separation thing is just--

It'll work itself out.

- Really?

- It'll be okay.

Okay.

So, did you guys ever figure out

- No. No.

- ...that job thing?

Uh, the network specialist,

uh, position?

I'll check on that again today.

Yeah.

I really appreciate it.

- Don't even worry about it.

- Okay. So, uh--

- Don't even worry.

- I'll see you tonight then.

- All right. Yeah-- No-- I gotta go.

- Yeah, me, too.

Edward called for some ZHP file.

He wants it back.

From what I can gather is,

Zeffert borrowed it on Friday

but never returned it.

Security said he stopped by

over the weekend,

but, uh, nobody can get

ahold of him.

- Call him at home?

- Yep, and his cell.

I've left several messages.

- That's not like him at all.

- Mm-mmm.

It's weird.

Today's the buyout.

And?

What? And what?

Your anniversary.

Oh, my-- Oh, my God.

Today's my anniversary.

- Yeah.

- I'm such an idiot.

I can't believe I forgot to--

Uh, uh, send-- Oh, my God.

Send flowers to the house,

- like, now, if you could.

- Okay. Done.

Baby, come on.

That's not fair.

It's not every night.

That's--

It-- It's now.

It's because of the buyout.

Oh, it's the buyout,

and before that,

it was the gene therapy launch,

and before that...

I mean, it's always something.

What happened to our plans?

Baby, what are you talking about?

This is our plan.

This-- This is--

This is the plan.

We pay Edward back, and we--

and we start our family.

Look, I messed up with the--

with the anniversary.

I know. I get it.

And I love you,

and I'm sorry, but I...

Listen, nothing--

nothing's changed.

It's hard to start a family

when you're never home.

You're always working.

I know. I know.

Tony, I love you,

and I don't wanna complain,

but I need a little bit more of you.

Okay.

Baby, please come home.

Baby, come on.

Edward's-- Edward's not

gonna just let me leave.

You know what?

This is about us, okay?

And when something's

really important to you--

I know you-- you don't let

anything stand in your way.

So why should our marriage

be any different?

Thank you, Mr. Garcia.

Thank you, Britney.

- Good morning, Mr. Garcia.

- Morning, Janet. Is he in?

- Yes, sir. Mr. Gar--

- No, I've got it.

You ready to close, Tony?

Hell, yeah,

I'm ready to close.

Hold on.

Hold on a second, baby.

Give Sofia my love.

Let's get this done.

Yeah, okay. I'm--

I'm right behind you.

Hello?

Baby, hey, you there?

Hello?

Jesus.

- Janet?

- Yes, sir?

Hey, pick up.

Hi, Tony.

Listen, you gotta, uh--

you gotta do me a favor, okay?

You gotta help me get out

of this meeting early.

- Oh, it's gonna be a bad day, isn't it?

- I hope not.

Do me a favor.

Tell Sofia to be home early, okay?

- I got a surprise for her.

- What surprise?

What do you mean, what surprise?

I don't know. I have no idea.

You-- You just--

You gotta handle it, okay?

Do it. Uh, whatever you would

do with-- with Cheryl-- do it, okay?

Okay. I'm on it.

- Hey, Mr. Garnett.

- Hey, Tony. How are you?

- I'm good.

- Ready to close today?

You bet.

Gentlemen, my name

is Susan W. Quindal.

I am your chosen mediator

for today's negotiations,

and I hereby bring

this session to order.

- Please take your seats.

- Morning. Thank you.

I wanna remind everyone

that these negotiations

still fall under the tenets

of the Traxil-Pharmical

Acquisition Agreement

that both parties signed.

If there is no resolution

by 7:
30 p.m. tonight,

talks will break off

for, at minimum,

a prescribed 30-day

cooling period.

So, Chairman Paul Ulsan

of Traxil, do you agree?

Agree.

And Chairman Leo Garnett

of Pharmical Industries,

do you agree?

- Agree.

- Would you gentlemen shake?

Let's make this happen.

Let's do it.

Gentlemen, you will find

in front of you

the due diligence report

with an independent appraisal

of the various components

of the Pharmical Industries.

The few key sticking points

that we will be discussing today

will include

the SEC filings,

the clinical trials data,

liens and judgments,

and the product

development reports.

Any questions?

Let's go.

Leo, everybody at this table

wants this to close today.

Yeah, we do, too.

Everything all right, son?

Oh, uh, I gotta go.

Something just came up.

- Now?

- Yeah.

Tony, we're two hours away from closing

the biggest deal in this company's history.

It's all right, Leo.

It's fine.

- You really need to go?

- Yeah.

It's-- It's personal.

- Go ahead.

- Thank you. Thanks.

We're just dotting the I's now.

We're home free.

Take my word for it.

Tell them I got word.

Thank you.

All right.

Here's your night.

My God, did you write me

an itinerary?

Tony, you forgot your anniversary.

You're gonna need all the help you can get.

Did you talk to Zeffert?

No. I left him a message.

All right. You're meeting Sofia

at home in ten minutes.

Flowers are on their way.

Dinner's at Gianardo's.

It's very romantic.

I took Cheryl there for our anniversary.
