- If you say fat again...

- Oh, you can't say fat.

You can't say fat.

What is going on with Electron Motors?

I'm very excited

about the electric car coming out.

Oh, my gosh. You have no idea.

They doubled that battery life.

Did you know that?

- They have doubled that battery life.

- What?

- You're sitting on a fortune.

- That thing is gonna be huge.

- I'm so excited.

- Yeah, well, there's a problem.

With the car?

- I'm out of the company.

- What?

Yeah. There was a presentation today

and he revealed

that the name of the car is Howard,

and I had a big problem with that.

And he said, "if you don't like it,

you can sell back your shares," and I did.

- No, you didn't. Please tell me you're joking.

- No. I'm not joking.

Because he named his car Howard?

This is a joke?

You can't name a car Howard.

It's just not a name of a car.

Honey, enough about the name.

Let's get back to the shares, okay?

You have to go back

and get your shares back.

I actually love the name Howard.

I do. I was thinking about

the name last night.

Howard's a solid name. Howard's a good guy.

There's a lot of good Howards.

They're average.

They're an average guy

doing average things.

And this is the campaign.

Solid, dependable, trustworthy,

that's our Howard.

The name that yesterday you had nothing

but disparaging comments about.

I'm really sorry. I am. I'm sorry.

Yeah. Sounds to me like

you're sorry you f***ed up,

but not, you know,

not for what's underneath it.

I apologized. That's what's important.

It doesn't matter if you apologize

if it's not sincere.

Apologies don't have to be sincere.

It's just the act of the apology itself.

It's only... All that matters

is if you're acting sincere.

That is literally the only thing

an apology has to be,

is sincere.

Oh, God, Will, I completely...

- Otherwise, it's just words.

- I'm acting sincere.

Of course, I don't believe it.

Here at this company, we

believe in sincerity.

You had the opportunity

to meet my son yesterday,

the one thing in the world

that I happen to care about

more than this company.

What did you do? Do you remember?

You talked about his nanny's hair

and how much it might stink.

Nope. Never said the nanny's hair stunk.

I never said that. I never said it stunk.

You know what you didn't say?

- What?

- "Cute kid."

- I was gonna get to that.

- "What a nice son."

"What a great job you did raising your son

as a single parent."

"What a nice job, seems like a good kid."

You know what, you don't get to that.

You lead with it.

How could you lead with it

if somebody's shampooing once a week?

Janine has your severance package

at the front desk.
