:08:01
-How you guys doing today?
-Great.
:08:03
Couldn't be better.
:08:04
It's an honor to meet you.
:08:06
And your office is....
Hey, you have a Buddha.
:08:09
Oh, I love Buddhas. They're, like,
bright, cheery, naked Asian Santas.
:08:14
I had a buddy in college.
:08:16
His name was Bob, and we called him...
:08:18
...''Buddha Bob''...
:08:19
...because he was kind of fat...
:08:21
...and he liked to walk around naked...
:08:23
...and we rubbed his belly for luck.
:08:28
Anyway...
:08:30
...I love Buddha.
:08:32
He rocks.
:08:34
The Buddha is an important
spiritual figure...
:08:36
...from which I draw
tremendous inspiration.
:08:43
Just kidding.
:08:46
Let me hear what you have.
:08:50
The Telford was not just considered
a great museum...
:08:52
...but a wonder of the age.
:08:56
I barely recognize it.
:08:57
We propose a renovation
that modernizes...
:09:00
...the Telford, without eclipsing
its classic glory.
:09:02
To us, the Telford is a work of art...
:09:05
...one of Chicago's true monuments.
:09:07
Preserving it would be more than
a job for us. It's an opportunity--
:09:11
Sorry.
:09:12
Just a second.
:09:17
Lenore.
:09:18
-Lenore.
-Yes, Mr. Newman.
:09:20
Bring in Decker and Strauss
and my echinacea drops.
:09:29
I liked your presentation.
:09:31
Big, modern, bold.
:09:32
And preserving the old and contrasting it
with the new. I like that too.
:09:37
You, especially, I like.
:09:39
Passionate, sincere...
:09:42
...goofball.
:09:43
You find him?
:09:45
Found him...
:09:46
...and housebroke him.
:09:49
This is what we're gonna do.
:09:52
You'll each build a model...
:09:55
...big models...
:09:56
...and we'll do it...
:09:57
...in the Telford itself.
:09:59
What do you guys think of that?
