( phone ringing )

Hello?

Aaron, hey,

is Pauline with you?

It's Elizabeth,

she wants to talk to you.

Pauline, hey, yeah, I was

just calling to remind

about the meeting tomorrow.

Board members

will be in at 8:
00.

Right--right, great,

thanks, Liz.

I just thought it'd be better

to call you

since you left your phone

in the office

and I know you keep

your schedule on it.

No--no--no, it's--I--

I have it, it's in my purse.

Pauline, look at caller I.D.

I'm calling you from

your phone right now.

I'm gonna leave it

in your desk.

See ya tomorrow.

Everything okay?

Yeah--yeah, n--it's fine,

just work.

Elizabeth--Elizabeth,

have you seen my report?

- Which one?

- Which one?

For the meeting,

you printed out six copies.

I had it on my desk.

I--God, lately

I have been so--

Spacey?

I was going to say,

distracted, but I'm late.

Look, I'll brief

the board members

but this thing cannot be

finalized until it is filed.

So I need you to keep looking

or print out six more copies.

( heavy breathing )

You--you will see the specific

details of the offer

on my preliminary report.

My main objection is

that this deal

could likely compromise

our long term reputation

for short term returns.

Hey. Sorry.

My fault.

- Where were they?

- Downstairs in reception.

I must've left them

on the counter when I went

to take down the petty cash.

( sighs )

Thanks.

Okay.

Now, if you'll

turn to page seven.

You never met

my mother did you?

Ahead of my time, but I've

heard a lot of great things.

Hmm. Well, they're all true.

She, um--

Hey, what is it?

Look, I've never told

anyone outside

the family this,

but my mother...

My mother died of dementia,

and I took care of her

the last two years.

My sister...

Well, it was all on me.

You know, I did

everything for her.

And in the end, I had to put

her into a nursing facility.

I mean, it was awful.

That's my greatest fear,

you know, that I'm gonna die

in the same horrible way.

What?

Actually, we've talked

about this before.

No we haven't, I've never--

Yes, you have.

You said that, it was

while caring for your mom

that you became estranged

with your sister.

Uh, Deanna didn't get along

with the nursing staff,

but I don't remember

telling you that.

You've actually talked

about it a couple of times.

About how your mom

stopped recognizing you

and that made it easier for

you to put her in the facility.

About how bad you felt

when you weren't

at her bedside

the day she died.

No--no, that's impossible.

Excuse me.

I'm just...

No--no, we cannot touch

any of the company's asset.

I know--I know.

But you're the one

that suggested it,
