:07:00
No. Well, maybe.
:07:02
[ Laughter ]
Okay.
:07:05
Okay, maybe I do have
a touch of tunnel vision
this holiday season.
:07:10
But in two days
we're going to announce...
:07:12
one of the largest mergers
in U.S. corporate history.
:07:15
When a deal like this turns up,
you get on it and you ride it
till it's over.
:07:19
You don't ask it
for a vacation.
:07:22
December 26. After that
there'll be so much money
floating around here,
:07:25
it'll be like Christmas
every day.
:07:27
December 26, people. If you'd
like to celebrate that day,
you all have my blessing.
:07:32
- You're right. I'm sorry.
- I don't want you to be sorry.
I want you to be excited.
:07:35
I want my gift to you
to be the first gift you open
this year. You know why ?
:07:37
- [ Stammering ]
- Because my gift comes
with ten zeroes.
:07:41
You're right.
I'm focused. I'm there.
:07:44
Good man. Everybody,
turn to page 12
in your prospectus.
:07:49
[ All Chattering Indistinctly ]
:07:54
You have six messages.
Two of them are imperative.
Whoa. I'm going home.
:07:57
I'm not even here now.
Good night. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
:08:00
It's only 8:30.
I'm disappointed. Got some
last-minute shopping to do ?
:08:03
You too ? This holiday's about
giving. I'm giving everything
I've got to this deal.
:08:07
So in a way, I'm more
Christmassy than anybody.
You're my role model, Jack.
:08:13
Oh, and Oxford called.
Ooh, my suits are ready.
:08:16
- Mm-hmm.
- Care for a Lifesaver ?
:08:18
No, thank you.
Help yourself.
:08:25
Kate Reynolds.
Her assistant said you could
reach her at home after 8:00.
:08:30
Kate Reynolds was
my girlfriend in college.
:08:32
I almost married her.
[ Chuckles ]
You ?
:08:34
Married ?
Almost married.
:08:37
And almost a broker
at E.F. Hutton.
Excuse me ?
:08:40
She didn't want me
to go to London.
:08:43
We're standing at the airport
saying good-bye,
and she asked me to stay.
:08:47
So you left her.
:08:49
- Wasn't easy.
- Oh, stop it.
I'm getting all weepy.
:08:53
I took the road
less traveled, Adelle.
:08:55
And look where it took ya.
I'm gonna get this gal
on the phone.
