- Excuse me, sir.

- Yes, Albert?

I don't really agree with that.

You don't really agree with what?

I think if you want to invest $500,000

in your friend's business...

that's exactly what you should do.

You don't need us to tell you what to do.

We're a board of advisers,

not your kindergarten teachers.

If you want to be taken seriously

as an adult...

then start taking yourself seriously

as an adult...

instead of asking for permission

to invest your own money...

from a boardroom

full of your daddy's golf buddies.

- That's quite enough!

- I'm not finished.

I'd like to see anybody in this room

handle the attention and publicity...

that she's had to deal with her whole life,

with half her class.

We should be taking advice from you,

Miss Cole. Not the other way around.

- Sit down...

- No! You know what? I quit!

Oh, my God.

Just breathe. How'd it go?

I yelled at her. I screamed at my boss!

I quit my job!

- What?

- You said...

- I gotta go back.

- No, I didn't tell you to quit.

Relax. Okay, listen, we're fine.

- Would you let me go?

- Albert, no!

Just relax! Okay?

- Just let it marinate for a second. Trust me.

- No!

Relax.

- It's Allegra Cole.

- Answer it.

- Could I speak to you a second?

- Answer the door, Albert.

Yes. Hi.

What's up?

Listen, Albert, right?

- People don't usually talk to me like that.

- Close your mouth, man.

Let me rephrase that.

People never talk to me like that.

Stand up.

I guess it's kind of scary for them.

But that's why I really appreciate

what you did in there.

But I was wondering...

do you think that you and I could

get together sometime this week?

You know, to go over things.

Financial things.

I'd like to see the areas

where I can afford to take some risks.

- Check your schedule.

- I'll check my schedule.

Great. Let me give you my number.

Do you have a pen?

I don't think I have one.

- Yes, I do.

- Great.

And call me Allegra.

- You're done.

- Goodbye.

Good job.

Oh, damn.

She's some kind of newspaper columnist.

Comes in here once in a while. Great tipper.

What's her drink?

Usually beer.

Tonight, Grey Goose martini, dirty.

Hi.

I noticed your glass was getting low...

so I took the liberty

of bringing you another apple martini.

Thank you.

And I couldn't help but notice

you look a lot like my next girlfriend.

- What's your name?

- They call me Chip.

You can't get them to stop?

That was funny.

Listen, I understand the courage it takes

to walk across a room...

and try to generate a relationship

out of thin air.

- So don't take the following personally.

- You have fantastic eyes.

Thanks. Try to listen.

This is no reflection on you.

I'm just not interested.
