The Last Letter Page #3
But they are won by thinkers.
Thank you, sir.
That means a lot.
The firm is downsizing a bit.
To cut costs and
bolster efficiency.
We're trimming the fat, so to speak.
Becoming more lean.
Okay.
I want you to cut your team
to two.
Sir, you're asking me to
let go of three people?
I thought the company, though,
Three of Bill's clients have
declared bankruptcy.
And the Donner building
never got its funding.
We all have to sacrifice.
And I know I can
count on you.
Of course, sir.
Absolutely.
Additionally,
I would like you to mentor
my nephew
who I think has
great potential.
These are partner level
decisions, Michael.
A man's character is
revealed in famine.
Not in feast.
Babe, I'm home.
- What you smiling about?
- Mmm.
- Go wash up for dinner.
I knew I married you
for a good reason.
Babe, can you tell me how
the same amount of work
with less people?
Well, companies are
cutting back all over, honey.
It's all over the news.
Yeah, but, babe, we're already
understaffed as a company.
Doesn't make any sense.
Maybe it's a test.
And, I mean, I already handle
the most important projects.
You know, I handle all the most
complex designs. All of that's me.
And then he did that thing again where
he dangles the partnership over me.
or something?
Horrible.
Michael.
It's a game.
Play to win.
- What would I do without you?
- You like that, babe?
- I like that.
Yeah, I like that.
Want anything?
No, thanks.
Oh, before I forget.
Remember we have dinner
tomorrow with Bill from the firm.
8:
00, babe.Oh!
So, Catherine,
I have to tell you I cannot get
Mike to shut up talking about you.
And why should he?
You know, if you ask me, a man
should be singing the praises
- of his wife every chance he gets.
- Absolutely.
- Good.
- I'll say.
Michael is incredibly blessed
to have a woman put her dreams
on hold,
stay home and see to
his every need.
- Mike's gotta be pulling in the big bucks.
- I know.
Yeah. Okay, I wish.
It is not that easy in
today's economy.
How do you feel, Catherine?
Uh, about?
About not working, of course.
I work every day.
I cook, I clean, I
manage the household expenses.
Oh, that's right. Now that's
the real work, honey.
What do you do, Cheryl?
- She's a blood-sucking attorney.
- Oh, Bill.
I wish I could get her to stay at
home, but it's not gonna happen.
- Uh-uh. Never, never gonna happen.
- Never?
So, Bill, I'm curious.
How many...
How many they make you let go
of on the team?
- None.
- Really?
Yeah, I mean, why?
Because Mr. Haynes said all the
teams were downsizing, so...
