So I think it’s appropriate to break out the good stuff since we have reached an agreement on the material terms reflected in these documents.
There were changes from this morning?
Yes, there are.
Okay, I, I haven’t reviewed them yet, though.
Nor have I.
There are a few omissions as well.
Ben and Fred have reviewed them, approved them, and legal has signed off. So, let’s toast to Fred.
Check out paragraph 14a part 3 line 15 on page 76. It’s highlighted in the red line.
There’s an omission of a payment made to an offshore entity.
Perfect timing, as always.
This is an occasion which I did not want to miss.
Glad you could join us.
Ben, I assure you I didn’t put any offshore entities into this agreement. Susanna must’ve done this.
Really?
Yeah, we haven’t seen this agreement.
We?
I mean you and I, sir.
I’ve reviewed it carefully.
It works for me. With that omission.
Works for me too, having reviewed it just now.
I’m glad.
And I have as well.
Not in the mood to celebrate?
The offshore entity. Apparently, it’s owned by you, Micah. And by you, Jamie.
With all due respect, sir, offshore is not illegal and we were using it merely as a tax treatment and for your benefit-
Micah, let's talk privately.
Meet me in conference room 24 if you don’t mind.
Of course.
Jamie, come up to my office please.
I can explain-
Let’s talk privately.
I’ll meet you there.
And thank you for protecting our firms.
What’ll happen to Jamie?
It won’t be a vacation in the Cayman Islands, I can assure you.
But it will include free room and board.
Shall we?
Hi, Katie.
What’s wrong?
Katie. Katie, what are you doing?
Getting out of here.
Did you talk to Dr. Anderson?
Yes, but I don’t need her permission.
But what did she say?
That I was leaving against her medical advice. That outpatient care would be necessary and then she added that social services would need to check in with me-
Katie, it’s not about whether you can or can’t leave, it’s about what’s best for you.
For me or for April?
Are you saying it’s better if April is away from me?
No.
You’re thinking it.
Why do you have to be so –
Difficult? Because I’m *** difficult, alright? I didn’t get the same genes as you, you know the non-difficult ones.
I’m going home. Are you coming with me or not?
Where’s April?
She’s fine.
I didn’t ask how she was, but where she was.
She’s at home with Marta.
I asked you not to leave her alone.
You also asked me to rush over here.
You’re not listening to me.
Alright we’ll go. This is pointless.
It’s pointless to worry about April’s well being?
Marta can take care of her.
She dropped her once.
She did?
On the changing table.
April is safe and sound.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Yes.
Marta?
Marta, Katie’s home.
Where is that honey bunny?
She asleep?
No, they’re not here.
What do you mean?
This happened yesterday.
What do you mean where are they?
Yesterday when I got home from work Marta had taken April out for a little walk. This does not need to be on the floor it’s an antique.
Where’s April?
Asleep in her crib.
No, she’s not.
What do you mean?
When did you leave?
Ten maybe fifteen minutes ago. She’s not here?
Why did you leave her alone?
The breast milk was old I had to go to the store to get some formula.
She was sound asleep I was only going to be gone for ten minutes-
Well, how could the two of you leave her alone?
Don’t accuse me-
My baby is missing!
Alright who has a key?
Um, Bojana the house cleaner.
Anyone else?
Where’s the father?
He’s in Europe.
Right?
No, he’s here.
Why didn’t you tell me?
Because you didn’t ask.
Was he in touch with you?
Yes.
And?
Quite hostile.
Well, hello.
Mom?!?
What the hell are you doing?
That’s quite a greeting.
Okay, well what were you doing?
Is taking my granddaughter for a walk a felony?
Of course not but-
Because leaving her alone and crying in her crib might be, which is why I took her for a walk.
And you might also notice that she’s not crying now, Katie.
Marta just had to run downstairs to –
Well, while you two are figuring out everything I did wrong, I’ve got a couple of bags in the elevator.
How you feeling, Katie?
Never better, Mom.
Where are you going?
To be alone with my daughter.
I’ve got some more groceries downstairs.
Why didn’t you tell me what was going on with Katie.
I didn’t want to worry you too much.
Do I have to cancel my European shoot?
I don’t know.
You know her guy, Paolo, called me.
Why did he call you?
He heard I was coming to Spain, so he wanted to say hello.
What a rogue.
I could go for a guy like that in a bad way.
Mom.
Katie told me some stories about him when we chatted.
Wait. You, you guys spoke?
At length. She must have been on meds or something but she said the sex was incredibly hot. And do you know that his favorite thing to do was that he would-
Okay. Okay. Too much information.
Just stop.
She never told me you talked.
Secrets make the world go round.
She has a lot of them.
And so did you.
Not really.
Are you kidding me? All those boys trailing after you. It must have been like running a detective agency trying to keep them from bumping into each other.
Aww, do you remember this belonged to my mother?
And you girls just loved it.
Those were such good memories.
Okay. Tell me what I can do for you and Katie.
Did you take off your shoes?
Yes, sweetheart.
Make it all go away.
So now you’re the family dreamer. With hard knuckles and a nose for numbers.
Missed you.
Me too. Come here.
I gotta go freshen up. Okay.
Now you figure out how long you’ll need me because I’ve got a lot of juggling I’m going to have to do.
And, Katie?
Yes, Mom?
Let me know when you feel like coming out to have a proper hello.
Kids.
Susanna, can you come in here please?
Yeah?
Would you mind taking April?
I’m just exhausted.
Aw, just rest.
Just a little R&R.
Thanks, Susanna.
Girls, think how much time we’ll have to catch up on all the juicy details.
Not quite a vacation but, but quality time.
Funny what brings a family together.
