and all, but I missed you.

You look beautiful, Sam.

I do?

Yeah, you do.

I should tell you that more often.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know she was going

to be here, all right?

If I turn around, she'll see.

This is getting boring, Clay.

Uh-huh.

We're going to have to

discuss this merger later.

[Sam]

I feel sick.

You're not supposed

to make me feel sick.

Thought you'd run off and left me.

You remember Dr. Neyer,

don't you?

Hello, Clayton.

Good to see you again.

We've already been through this.

Dr. Harper's my surgeon.

I've already told you...

I know, but Jonathan

leads the field, remember?

Yeah, well, like I said before,

I have a surgeon.

Now, I know he's been

on the donor list for a year, Lilith,

but that's completely

normal for his type.

O-negatives like you and your son

always wait a little longer.

It just means

you're special, that's all.

Excuse me.

I don't think you're listening

to what I'm saying...

Although, since he has

a cardiomyopathy

of undetermined etiology...

Hey.

I'm sitting right here.

You want to talk

about me, talk to me.

- Clay.

- It's fine, Lilith.

You and Dr. Harper

have obviously become friends.

He was on call when you had

your first attack.

He saved your life.

I get the attachment. Really, I do.

But your mother and I

have been friends for 15 years.

My hands have been

inside presidents.

Don't you think I might at least

deserve the time of day?

You want to be operated on

by the best surgeon possible.

Don't you, Clay?

Good.

Now let's talk about the party tonight.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

Now see, that is where

you're wrong.

I just don't see

the growth in leadership.

That's why this whole

Beresford Capital business

scares me so much.

Now look, are my numbers

wrong here?

Because if the Shimotomo merger

does not go through soon,

then that entire firm is in a lot of trouble.

[Man 2]

That doesn't matter.

Look, I'm telling you,

Beresford better stay away from Shimotomo.

They're going to smile at your face,

and then they're going

to stab you in the back.

These guys are dangerous.

Trust me, I've seen them do it.

Anybody who gets

into business with them

is really asking for trouble.

Clay Beresford better know

what he's doing...

[Woman]

Sir, they need you out there.

Thank you.

Welcome.

My daughter Tanya and my wife.

Happy Halloween.

Oh, here he is.

Whiz kid of Wall Street,

Barron's Man of the Year at 22:

Clayton Beresford, Jr.

Sir, I'd like you to meet

Mr. Inamoto and Mr. Waturi.

They're with our friends

at Shimotomo.

They're here to check up on you.

They know about your condition.

[speaking Japanese]

Mr. Waturi would like for you to know
