come back in here. He's gonna say that the two

of you have to go somewhere. That's supposed to make me

think he's got another offer. Watch this. I'm terribly sorry,

but something important

has come up. Julie. I'd be willing

to go 155, but... You know, there are 100

strategic buyers in Tokyo

who will do this for 150. I've got a figure

in the back of my mind, and you haven't even

come close to it yet. Well, young man,

you drive a hard bargain. 140 million, then, eh? I can live with that. Bravo, bravo.

Very impressive, Bill. I almost forgot

it was my money. I'm going to my house

in Oaxaca for the weekend.

Let's do the paperwork there. Terrific. I can

fly there Saturday. That would be wonderful. There's no phone, so here's

my caretaker's number and he'll make arrangements

for a car to pick you up. All right.

Well, thank you. And bring

your bathing suit. Or don't. No.

"No" what? No, you can't have

the weekend off. Well, every time you

want something from me,

you interlock your fingers. Sorry, Jenny. I need

you here all weekend. I'm going to Mexico

to close Daisy Cellular. Your sister's on line one.

She's been calling all day. Hmm. Hello.

Hi, Bill. Hey, Marci. Bill, you've got to come

up here right away. Peter's being

blackmailed and... Mom's fine. Listen,

the guy who's blackmailing him

is coming to Buzzsaw tomorrow. Peter talked to him

on the phone and said

he's gonna kill him. Please come, just for the day.

You got to come, Bill. Please? Ah, no, I'm sorry, Marci.

I'm very, very busy.

I really can't. But, Bill,

you don't understand.

I mean, this is real. Anyway, you promised

you'd come if

I ever needed you. You've got to come.

Please? (PHONE RINGING) Hello? Hello, Mr. Buchenwald. True, but if we make

a crossover in Japan, we'll

get a topping bid in a day. (SIREN WAILING) Soon as the papers

are signed. Uh... I have to call you back,

Mr. Buchenwald. Sh*t. Sh*t. (SCREAMING) Okay, quiet,

please. Quiet. Quiet, please. Thank you. Marci, who is

the girl on the motorcycle? Oh, her name's Sally,

and she's very nice. Oh, she's nice?

I thought she was being

chased by the police. No, she wasn't being

chased by the police. Actually, the cop

who was shooting at her

was a friend of hers. Marci, what kind of a

friend shoots at you? A boyfriend. Yeah. Yes? I know he will disagree, but I don't like

the way Sally's

brought into the story. I don't quite disagree. I must say

my earlier optimism

is beginning to waver. Those guys

are bothering me. Just tell your story,

and if it's good,

they won't bother you anymore. I'm not so sure. All right, pull it over.

Let's go. All right, come on. WOMAN ON TAPE:
