1
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:36,754
''From Arthur Kahn to Tom Sanders.
2
00:00:37,662 --> 00:00:40,392
''Product Name: Arcamax CD-ROM.
3
00:00:40,665 --> 00:00:44,328
''Considering the merger, l thought
you should get this at home:
4
00:00:44,502 --> 00:00:48,836
''Arcamax production lines running
at 29% despite all efforts.
5
00:00:49,174 --> 00:00:51,904
''Spot-checks on dada dada....
6
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:55,902
''Speaking of the merger, are
you rich and famous yet?
7
00:00:56,081 --> 00:00:59,073
''Congratulations in
advance on your promotion.
8
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:00,511
''Arthur.''
9
00:01:04,356 --> 00:01:06,586
Dad, you got E-mail.
10
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:10,794
l`m not a pain in the ass,
l`m being a lawyer.
11
00:01:10,929 --> 00:01:12,590
There`s a difference.
12
00:01:12,797 --> 00:01:16,858
No more computer games, Matt, it`s time
for school. Eliza, where are you?
13
00:01:17,035 --> 00:01:18,866
You got E-mail.
14
00:01:19,037 --> 00:01:21,801
Tom, Matt`s got toothpaste
all over himself!
15
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:27,811
lf you can`t get them ready for
school, don`t say you`ll do it.
16
00:01:27,946 --> 00:01:29,038
You`re welcome.
17
00:01:29,214 --> 00:01:30,442
l`m here.
18
00:01:30,615 --> 00:01:33,106
-And Liza needs a jacket.
-l know she needs a jacket!
19
00:01:33,318 --> 00:01:35,377
A jacket doesn`t go, dad.
20
00:01:35,954 --> 00:01:37,182
Wear a sweatshirt.
21
00:01:37,422 --> 00:01:39,390
That`s for girls, a white sweatshirt.
22
00:01:39,557 --> 00:01:40,888
Since when?
23
00:01:41,459 --> 00:01:43,393
Leave me alone.
24
00:01:47,832 --> 00:01:49,891
Put your jacket on.
25
00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:53,469
Ariel doesn`t have a father.
She has two mothers.
26
00:01:53,638 --> 00:01:55,128
That`s interesting.
27
00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:58,969
He`s in a hotel with his secretary
patched in from New York...
28
00:01:59,144 --> 00:02:02,079
...while l`m brushing Cheerios
from my file folders.
29
00:02:02,247 --> 00:02:03,339
lt`s insanity.
30
00:02:03,481 --> 00:02:04,971
Put your jacket on.
31
00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:06,913
Put this on, sweetie.
32
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:09,076
You can take it off at school.
33
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:11,245
Listen to your mom.
34
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:13,357
Matt, did you pee?
35
00:02:13,491 --> 00:02:17,928
l don`t know why you said you`d
help me today, with your promotion.
36
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:19,996
What`s dad got around his neck?
37
00:02:20,165 --> 00:02:21,928
You don`t know what this is?
38
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:23,495
lt`s a tie.
39
00:02:23,668 --> 00:02:25,101
Dad`s getting a promotion.
40
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:27,101
-Dad, you got an E-mail.
-Thanks, honey. Let`s go.
41
00:02:27,505 --> 00:02:28,597
We`re late.
42
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,444
Did you get the Disneyland tickets?
43
00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:39,606
With everything l have to do?
44
00:02:39,784 --> 00:02:41,615
lt`s just one call.
45
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:42,878
Who are they for?
46
00:02:43,021 --> 00:02:46,286
Mohammed Jafar. He`s foreman
of the Malaysian plant.
47
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:49,894
You`re the one person l know who
sucks up to the people below you.
48
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:53,692
Matt, don`t kick the seat.
49
00:02:53,898 --> 00:02:55,957
-What`s on your tie?
-Toothpaste.
50
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:59,194
-Let`s go.
-Your tie shouldn`t look like a bib.
51
00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:25,553
Hi, Cindy, what`s up?
52
00:03:26,731 --> 00:03:29,063
Garvin came by the office this morning?
53
00:03:29,501 --> 00:03:30,934
About the promotion?
54
00:03:32,237 --> 00:03:34,068
Matt, will you stop that?
55
00:03:35,507 --> 00:03:38,499
He was surprised l was late?
What does that mean?
56
00:03:38,676 --> 00:03:41,941
Did he say it in passing,
or like he really meant it?
57
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:50,750
l wonder why Garvin came by
the office at 8 in the morning?
58
00:03:50,955 --> 00:03:52,252
To congratulate you.
59
00:03:52,457 --> 00:03:54,755
He treats everyone like dirt--
60
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:56,950
Except the top guys.
61
00:04:00,765 --> 00:04:02,596
Except the top guys.
62
00:04:03,601 --> 00:04:06,764
When this merger with
Conley-White goes through...
63
00:04:06,971 --> 00:04:09,201
...and they spin off our division...
64
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:11,035
...we`re going to be rich.
65
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:12,608
We`re already rich.
66
00:04:12,777 --> 00:04:14,039
No, l mean...
67
00:04:14,279 --> 00:04:15,871
...really rich.
68
00:04:16,481 --> 00:04:18,779
My grandmother used to say:
69
00:04:18,983 --> 00:04:22,544
''Don`t climb up there too close
to God, He might shake the tree.''
70
00:04:34,732 --> 00:04:36,063
Tom!
71
00:04:36,634 --> 00:04:38,295
Thanks for this morning.
72
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:07,030
Smaller, faster, cheaper, better.
73
00:05:08,032 --> 00:05:10,262
Remember
lugging the first ones around?
74
00:05:10,535 --> 00:05:14,164
People were amazed. lt was like
showing a Polaroid to a bushman.
75
00:05:14,339 --> 00:05:17,433
Now, if it`s bigger than a credit
card, it`s too inconvenient.
76
00:05:17,609 --> 00:05:19,099
Keeps you on your toes.
77
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:21,837
Eddie, it`s Tom. Cindy said you called.
78
00:05:22,180 --> 00:05:23,545
Sure, l can hold.
79
00:05:24,849 --> 00:05:26,339
How`s the job search?
80
00:05:27,352 --> 00:05:30,549
28 years at lBM. Did l
tell you what they told me?
81
00:05:30,688 --> 00:05:33,452
l was ''surplussed.''
Ever hear that word?
82
00:05:34,058 --> 00:05:36,185
What`s going on down there?
83
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:38,455
What? That`s crazy.
84
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,461
They should`ve said, ''sodomized.''
85
00:05:40,632 --> 00:05:45,467
They`re not going to sell the
Austin plant. That`s just a rumor.
86
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:49,698
You don`t see it coming. You go along,
and then one day there`s no room.
87
00:05:49,874 --> 00:05:51,705
No more room for you.
88
00:05:52,210 --> 00:05:53,973
Smaller, faster, cheaper, better.
89
00:05:54,145 --> 00:05:58,878
l won`t mention names. l`m just telling
you, it`s not true. lt`s a rumor.
90
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:01,711
l was making 150 a year. Big money.
91
00:06:03,221 --> 00:06:05,314
lt`s probably what you make, huh?
92
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:06,821
Hang on.
93
00:06:06,991 --> 00:06:08,982
Why don`t you call Cindy...
94
00:06:09,327 --> 00:06:12,091
...make an appointment.
l`ll see if l can help.
95
00:06:12,997 --> 00:06:15,989
Eddie, they are not
going to sell Austin.
96
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:19,102
lf l`m telling you, who else
are you going to believe?
97
00:06:19,237 --> 00:06:19,896
Cindy.
98
00:06:20,405 --> 00:06:21,895
Pretty name.
99
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,607
Used to have fun with the girls.
Nowadays they want your job.
100
00:07:06,484 --> 00:07:07,314
Good morning.
101
00:07:07,452 --> 00:07:10,216
-What did Garvin say? Should l see him?
-He didn`t say.
102
00:07:10,722 --> 00:07:11,780
He growled.
103
00:07:11,956 --> 00:07:14,220
He was flirting. Did you get Arthur?
104
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:16,223
He`s standing by on the DVL.
105
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:18,453
Lunch with Conley-White is at noon.
106
00:07:18,663 --> 00:07:22,292
We`ll probably have those
sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
107
00:07:22,467 --> 00:07:24,958
Their jaws were wired shut
at the same prep school.
108
00:07:25,169 --> 00:07:26,966
The merger`s still happening?
109
00:07:28,072 --> 00:07:29,061
You heard something?
110
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:30,404
No.
111
00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:32,167
Just, l....
112
00:07:32,477 --> 00:07:33,967
What`s on your tie?
113
00:07:34,912 --> 00:07:36,903
Garvin didn`t mention my promotion?
114
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:38,742
You said you`d be early today.
115
00:07:38,916 --> 00:07:41,316
People from ''Father of the Year''
didn`t call?
116
00:07:41,753 --> 00:07:42,811
No.
117
00:07:43,254 --> 00:07:44,687
That`s a joke.
118
00:07:47,191 --> 00:07:49,182
5 seconds to Malaysia.
119
00:07:49,761 --> 00:07:50,819
Should l close the door?
120
00:07:50,995 --> 00:07:52,087
Do l ever ask that?
121
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:53,419
Never.
122
00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:55,998
Malaysian video linkup.
123
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:00,761
You look good. Awake.
124
00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:02,337
What`s wrong with Arcamax?
125
00:08:02,507 --> 00:08:07,001
The drives are very slow. We`re
getting seek times in the 140-160 range.
126
00:08:07,211 --> 00:08:10,772
140 isn`t a sexy CD player anymore.
Everyone has 140.
127
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,439
My guys think there`s a
compatibility problem...
128
00:08:13,618 --> 00:08:16,212
...between the controller chip
and the driver`s software.
129
00:08:16,354 --> 00:08:18,288
That`ll put us back a year.
130
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:23,223
The screen flickers. The current cuts
in and out. lt`s a design problem.
131
00:08:23,361 --> 00:08:26,455
What do you mean?
All laptops have the same design.
132
00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:30,032
l sent you out some drives.
You should get them today.
133
00:08:30,234 --> 00:08:33,294
This is bad, Arthur.
How could this happen?
134
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,632
Going to bury it until the merger?
135
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:38,799
Don`t you say anything.
Does anyone else know?
136
00:08:38,976 --> 00:08:41,968
l`m a grave. What,
are you kidding, Tom?
137
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:46,139
l still think, really, that
Arcamax will be a major, major hit.
138
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,751
l`ll call you when l see the drives.
139
00:08:48,886 --> 00:08:50,547
Did you get the macadamia nuts?
140
00:08:50,755 --> 00:08:52,154
Good night, Arthur.
141
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:54,151
They are so good.
142
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:56,759
He`s off the phone. l got to go.
143
00:08:58,996 --> 00:09:00,827
Do you know a Meredith Johnson?
144
00:09:00,998 --> 00:09:03,660
-Yes, years ago.
-She wanted to see you.
145
00:09:03,835 --> 00:09:05,166
She`s here for the
