I'D LIKE TO SAY

A FEW THINGS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK

THE FOUNDING PARTNERS

BUILD FROM THE GROUND UP.

AS A PARTNER,

CONTINUE TO REPRESEN SHUSTER, BARRON & CLYDE,

LITTLE BIRD:

SINGIN' OUTSIDE

DON'T YOU KNOW

IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

I THINK:

YOU'RE JUST CONFUSED

BY THE LIGH BY THE NIGH THERE'S A MAN

STANDIN' OUTSIDE

LOOKIN' INTO HER WINDOW,

INTO HER...

SO CONGRATULATIONS

ON MAKING PARTNER.

THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE

FOR SOMEONE SO YOUNG.

WELL, I'M NO WUNDERKIND,

BUT, UH,

JUST A WORKAHOLIC.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, I KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

MMM. THAT'S RIGHT.

NICK SAID YOU WERE

AN EXECUTIVE V.P. AT YOUR FIRM.

UH, YEAH. STARTED OU AS ACCOUNT SUPERVISOR,

AND I WORKED MY WAY UP.

YOU'RE LIKE ME.

ALL WORK, NOT ENOUGH PLAY.

YES, I KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN.

[laughs]

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE US,

WE'RE...

WE'RE ACHIEVERS.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN,

PRINCETON, CORNELL,

SUMMA CUM LAUDE AT BOTH.

YOU?

YALE, STANFORD.

JUST YALE AND STANFORD?

I BET YOU WERE:

AT THE TOP OF YOUR CLASS, RIGHT?

RAKING IN THE SCHOLARSHIPS,

LAW REVIEW.

I KNEW IT.

AND NOW THA WE'VE BOTH ACHIEVED SO MUCH,

IT'S LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO

GO OUT AND GET THE REST OF IT--

YOU KNOW, MARRIAGE, KIDS,

DOG RUNNING:

AROUND THE BACKYARD,

BUT I DON'T KNOW

WHO HAS THE TIME FOR IT.

OH. WELL, I CERTAINLY DON'T.

I MEAN, THE ONLY WOMAN

I TALK TO ON A DAILY BASIS

IS MY SECRETARY, AND SHE'S

OLD ENOUGH TO BE MY MOM.

WELL, I'M, UH,

PROBABLY A TRAITOR TO MY GENDER,

BUT I NEVER REALLY BELIEVED

IN ALL:

THE FAIRY-TALE ROMANCE STUFF

THEY FED US AS KIDS.

IT'S FUNNY. I WAS JUST TALKING

ABOUT THAT THE OTHER DAY.

YEAH, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WE BOTH WORKED HARD

TO GET INTO THE RIGHT SCHOOLS,

TO GET THE RIGHT DEGREE,
