What If...

---

Bus 27, Dearfield,

will be arriving at 9.25.

Here you go.

It's just 8 months, then

We're never apart again.

I know.

I know.

Nothing, nothing

is gonna change.

Trust me.

I do.

It's just...

We're still

gonna get married.

We're still gonna

build a life together.

Just keep reminding yourself

how good this is gonna be

for us When it's over.

I got this for you.

It's beautiful.

"To Ben from Wendy.

As for me and my house,

We Will serve the Lord. "

This is awesome.

Ben, I still feel like you're

gonna change out there.

What if this changes?

I Won't let it.

But What about our plans

for our ministry?

You're such a good preacher.

You can still do seminary.

We've been

through this before.

It's not something I Want to do,

but We can still do

the ministry We discussed.

We can still help people

even more noW that I've been

on the ground floor of a company

Where I can build a good career.

I have to do it in the City,

and you know that.

That career stuff

just doesn't...

I just Want

to be With you.

Hey, We're gonna

be great, We are.

This is your final boarding

call for Green Line 277

serving Long Mount, Zion,

Manitou, Westville,

now boarding at gate 2.

Green Line 277 final

boarding call at gate 2.

Okay, I gotta go.

I know.

Ben, this doesn't

feel right.

What if this is one

of those moments,

a moment We're gonna

regret later?

It isn't,

and it Won't be.

Have faith.

I do.

Bye.

Here you go.

I love you.

I love you too.

Good morning, sir.

Happy birthday, Elaine.

Mr. Walker, shouldn't have.

Yellow roses.

Don't Want to make Jim

in HR jealous, yet.

You never

bring me flowers.

It's not your birthday.

I bet you don't

even know my birthday.

It's on a day in one

of those months, right?

Stop, you're

embarrassing yourself.

September 24th,

Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Kenosha, it's

near Milwaukee.

How they doing in there?

Got about three calls

asking for you.

Don't you think they've

Waited long enough?

Almost.

You're terrible.

No, I'm the best.

Nice of you to join us.

Well, fine, so should We...

Can you believe they charge

$4.50 for a cup of coffee?

I think We're in

the Wrong business.

And you are?

I'm a fortune teller.

I can see the future.

Somebody'd pay

a lot for that.

They already do.

Okay, I think the issues

that We need to discuss

are right here on page 6.

You know, a couple

thousand years ago,

Rome was the most powerful

nation in the world.

No one Was even close.

Didn't he say he Was gonna

say something about the future?

Rome was so strong that when

she bent her gaze in the second

most powerful nation in

the World, Egypt,

the Egyptians surrendered

Without a fight,

Rather than go up against an empire

that never lost a war,

those nations who capitulated

were treated well,very well.

Those who didn't were still conquered

but rome was unkind to them.

Hey,your not Julius Caesar,ok?

No i'm not,he didn't

think big enough

So what makes you sure you'll win

Mr. Bessette,like most owner

founders the majority of

your wealth is tied up in

the stock of your own company

You believe in yourself and

you should.

You take only a nominal salary

but you like to live well.

So you've collaterized your

ownership to raise equity

which is very smart move

in an up market.

We are well supported in our

institutional relationships

and in no way invulnerable

in our credit.

- Past.

- Excuse me?

You've already answered 2 margin calls.

If the share price drops down to 75 cents

you will answer to a third

No we didn't.Dad, what he is talking

about?this guy is crazy.

This is privileged information,how

did you get access to that?

Now you're stuck with you thumb in

a vice,if Bessette loses another

8 percent of its value over

the next month which it will

you will lose half of your net worth.

If it loses 16 percent,

your family wealth disappears,

irreversibly.

I am not a

man who surrenders easy.

Accept an alliance that will reflect

the reality that your living in.

You remain CEO and partial owner

you're ok with that,aren't you chief?

If you accept the deal we are now offering,yes.

You can keep on doing the same thing

you've done for the last 43 years,

You'll get to keep your pride,

your family fortune

and everything else that matters

to you.

And ah what do you get?

Money. Lots of it.

- Forgot your coffee.

- I do not drink coffee.

Are we broke?

Can't believe what I just saw.

What was that in there?

Promise to Bessette that he can

stay on as CEO?That just defies logic.

- Please tell me you were lying.

- Relax, Joel, we closed the deal.

- Do not tell me to relax.

- Relax.

I'm relaxed!Your sudden attack of altruism

cost us a small fortune.

Uh huh, and saved us

a court battle.

Let me tell you something. In 15 years here

at Tarvis and McCutcheon,

i've never pandered like that to close a deal.

Perhaps you should start.

Especially since the sign at the doorway

is about to read Tarvis, McCutcheon and Walker.

- should I at least fake surprise?

-Ah don't bother.

Humility doesn't become you.

I assume you accept.

Does it come with a car of my choice?

I think you will be able to afford it.

- Well then?

- Hail Caesar.

So I assume my raise is forth coming?

Claire,lets not cheapen my admiration for

your abilities for something as crass as money.

- I'm thinking 20 percent.

- I'm thinking 10.

- Did you pick it up?

- It's on your desk.

Good.

What's this?

Ah came today. It's some

kind of missionary letter.

Hi Ben, In town for a fundraiser at

the old church.Would love to say hi.

Wendy.

It's tonight.

Who is she?

An old girlfriend.

We almost got married.

Get out! Why have I

never heard about this?

There is not much to tell, we kinda

outgrew each other.

- You changed and she didn't?

- Ya something like that.

You still talk to her?

I make a point of never going back..

- This is too funny.

- What?

What kind of woman

almost slowed down Ben Walker?

- You gonna call call her?

- No.

Just send a cheque to her charity,

probably what she wants anyways.

Okay.

- Oh, and take this to accounting.

- What is that?

An approval of your salary increase

of 18 percent.

Can't look like a pushover the first day.

Tarvis, McCutcheon and Walker.

Sounds good.

Sounds great.

- What is there waiting?

- Ah, Miss. Davis, I wasn't

expecting you today.

Clearly.

Hold his calls.

Just gonna count to ten.

I need a couple minutes, Claire.

I think we're going to need a

little more time than that,don't you?

- Oh, hey. I thought you were...

- The staff??

I'm glad I was wrong.

So I hear congratulations are

in order for us?

- How'd you know?

- Good news travels fast.

- Congratulations,baby.

- Thank you.

Robins egg blue,

my favorite color.

- You weren't supposed to see that yet.

- How big?

3.57 carats.

- D, E?

- D.

Flawless or pvs one?

Perfect, just like you.

- Will you marry me?

- Of course, bear.

You are the only man I could

possible see my self with.
