:27:00
-OK?
-OK.
:27:01
PETER: All right.
:27:03
JOANNA: When you say,
"next door..."
:27:05
do you mean
Chili's or Flinger's?
:27:07
PETER: Flinger's.
:27:09
JOANNA: OK.
:27:11
What you do at lnitech...
:27:14
is you take the specifications
from the customers...
:27:16
and you bring them down
to the software engineers?
:27:19
TOM: Yes. Y-yes.
That's--that's right.
:27:21
PORTER:
Well, then I just have to ask...
:27:23
why couldn't the customers...
:27:24
just take them directly
to the software people, huh?
:27:28
TOM: Well, I'll tell you why.
:27:31
Uh, because...
:27:33
engineers are not good
at dealing with customers.
:27:36
SLYDELL: Uh-huh. So...
:27:39
you physically take the specs
from the customer?
:27:45
Well...
:27:47
no. My secretary does that
or the fax.
:27:50
SLYDELL: Huh.
:27:52
PORTER: So then you must
physically bring them...
:27:54
to the software people.
:27:55
Well...
:27:58
no.
:27:59
I mean...
:28:00
sometimes.
:28:02
SLYDELL: What--what would you
say you do here?
:28:07
Well, look,
I already told you.
:28:09
I deal with
the goddamn customers...
:28:12
so the engineers don't have to.
:28:14
I have people skills.
:28:16
I am good at dealing
with people!
:28:18
Can't you understand that?!
:28:19
What the hell is wrong
with you people?!
:28:22
I--
:28:30
SLYDELL: Let's see...
:28:31
you are...
:28:33
Michael...
:28:36
-Bolton?
-Yeah.
:28:40
PORTER:
ls that your real name?
:28:42
MICHAEL: Yeah.
:28:45
SLYDELL: Are you any relation
to the pop singer?
:28:47
MICHAEL: No, it's--it's
just a coincidence.
:28:49
SLYDELL: Ha ha.
To be honest with you...
:28:51
I love his music. I do.
:28:52
-I'm a Michael Bolton fan.
-Me, too.
:28:55
SLYDELL: For my money, I don't
know if it gets any better...
:28:56
than when he sings
"When a Man Loves a Woman."
:28:59
But you must really
love his music, huh?
