What is the purpose of your trip, please?
Business,
Thank you and welcome to St. Estéphe.
What is the purpose of your trip, please?
May I see these Havanas, pIease?
-Relax, -I'Il reIax after the dog and pony show.
- WilI you put that thing away, Joe? - Just a minute,
Mr, Ross?
- Susan, - Susan. you on the plane?
In the cheap seats. I'm just thriIled the company sent me here at alI.
Let me help you with that.
On, no, Mr, Ross, I promised Mr, KIein nobody touches this but me,
- Let me just get this, - you are a reaI boy scout,
- That's a compliment indeed. - They told me we started here,
- It's true. - Nothing sensitive in that,
Absolutely not. Come on,
The process,.,
and by means of the process to controI the global market.
- And this process is complete? - It's near completion,
- Near completion? - Very near. This team, which Mr, Ross--
- Team? - The team,
And I think if I may, Mr, Klein.,,
I would like to state that the work and the inspiration for the process was--
Thank you, George.
I know you'll understand when I say that's neither here nor there.
These gentlemen have come down to hear the good news,
The good news is control of the market.
- How are we gonna do that, Mr. Ross? - Some information is in front of you,
We don't want to get too specific for security reasons,
My task is to tell you what those things I can in layman's language,
I think I can break it down sufficiently to give you a pretty firm idea.
- This process-- - yes.
How long could we hold on to it before the competition steals it?
We defend it, of course, tooth and naiI. This is a proprietary process,
Of course, after the fact, But the competition--
The question is, if we get into it, what do we own?
you're asking us to consider making a vast investment.
Before we take this before the stockholders' meeting,,.
I want to know, what do we own?
- Speak to the point. - Thank you, I wiII.
Without our actual data, without the formula.,.
the Japanese, or any one else for that matter, would have nothing.
Should you give us the go-ahead, their actual--
The legaI issues are these:
We have both the de facto and the de jure copyright of that process,
Even if they should engage in piracy, their research and development time,.,
- Their catch-up time, - would put them back-- George?
- Three? - Three to five years.
What I want to know is, who much money will we make?
In that three-to-five-year period,.,
a conservative projection is we're gonna generate for the company,,.
a windfalI somewhere on the order of--
- I'd like to take this opportunity-- - What is it, Joe?
If I might-- They were kind enough to mention the stockhoders' meeting,
But if we could discuss the exact terms of--
- Of your-- - Of my bonus.
That is, my participation in it,
This thing goes, there's gonna be more than enough to go around.
Are you kidding? you did good in there, I'm not gonna forget it.
- Thank you. - Neither are they.
- But my exact question is-- - How much?
I'm in the same position as you,
They keep me in the dark too, yes, they do.
Do you need a couple of bucks for your rent?
For my rent? I can't say that I do, sir,
I'II telI you what.

to further intimacy.
- Well-- - I'll call you Joe down here then,
How--
How'd the meeting go?
Something big, huh? That's what they alI think back at home.
- Could be something big. - What is it?
- Sworn to secrecy, - Something big. Sworn to secrecy,
- Everybody's smokin' a cigar. - Things seem to be going our way,
Did you know the Caribbean is the number one honeymoon destination.,.
for young Japanese?
- I didn't know that, - Well, it is.
- Long way to come, - Must be because it's so romantic.
Aha,

I know,
I shouIdn't have said anything. Not that I know anything,
you're right, you know what I have? A secretary mentaIity.
- That's right. Might be a good idea-- - Not that anyone tells me anything,
I'm just here to fetch and carry, "Send the new girl,"
No. It's not a big thing.
Just don't have to mention it, Thanks.
- Somebody's got a crush on you, - I ain't lookin' for an office romance,
All I want is an umbrella in my drink.
Your ship comes in, you're gonna be whisking them away like flies, lad,

Somebody gives you a package to take back and you trust them.
Who in this world is what they seem?

It certainIy was not, I didn't-- Look,
Look, I didn't--
Look, I didn't want to intrude, Why would I want to intrude?
My understanding was, you asked me to drop it off.

And I don't appreciate being accused of a Iack of courtesy.
Seriously.
Isn't it possibIe you misremembered? No,
Don't look at me like I want something from you,

It's still all we have,
How's that for melodrama?
I called and told her I wanted her to meet a nice guy.

Lord, didn't you get hot today?
- Got on my high horse. - I suppose you did,
Got a little ahead of yourself.,,
going on about "you rich people,"
- Did I say that? - yes, you did.
Before you throw your sister at me,,.
I think I should correct a misimpression.
Listening.
- I'm just a working man, - Uh-huh.
What's a working man doing on St. Estéphe? you a jeweI thief?
- My company brought me down. - Sell a million widgets, or something?
Something like that,
Work for a Iiving, That's your dark secret.

- My mother had a dog. - What was his name?
Paddy,

Credit National de Geneve, Code word: Paddy,
you just opened me a Swiss bank account?
Why?
Lavish, awkward gesture, All of 15 Swiss francs it it,
But you ever want to impress anybody, they can find out you have an account,.,
but Swiss Iaw prohibits the bank from reveaIing the balance,
Thus are all men made equal,
Let me change, Let's go meet the little sister,

We used to say, a nymphomaniac who owns a Iiquor store,
That's right. Money isn't everything.

That's right.
One thing my father taught me about business:
Always do business as if the person you're doing business with.,,
is trying to screw you, because most ikely they are,
And if they're not, you can be pleasantly surprised.
My father knew about business: work hard, take alI the overtime you can get.
- You Iiked your father, huh? - I Ioved my father.
- What did he do? - Worked Iike a dog aIl his Iife,
Wel, he left you a hell of a legacy,

How can you say that?
People aren't that complicated, Good people, Bad people.
They generally look like what they are.
Is that so?
It is,
Why are so many people having such difficulty?
That's the question that baffles me, Play some tennis tomorrow?

- I think they owe me a lot of money. - What do you mean, you think?
I invented something for them.
It's a work for hire. They own it, but--
Is Mrs. DeSIiva in? Who told you it was a work for hire?
Well, they did. I--
- you invented it? - Well, I--
I'm not a Iawyer, I'm just a guy, TelI me, you invented it?

an adversariaI position toward the company,
- But you're in an adversariaI position. - No, I think you're wrong,
I think you'Il find.,.
that if what you've done for them is as valuable as you say it is,.,
if they are indebted to you morally but not legally,.,
my experience is, they wilI give you nothing,,.
and they will begin to act cruelly toward you.

Just a sec, Susan,
We would suggest you simply think of it,,.
as a revalidation of your agreement with the company,
I don't understand. Why would I have to revalidate my agreement?
This is purely a formality.
Before any announcements,
you want to be certain that the process, Joe--
- yes? - That any uncertainty about--
- About any outstanding-- - There's several questions involved.
- yes, what are they? - Questions of security.
There's no question of security, There's only one copy of the process,
- It's in my safe. - Leakages of information,
- We have a proprietary process worth-- - That's a Iegitimate concern,
But I still don't see why that means I should "revalidate" my agreement,
- Mr, Ross-- - I'Il telI you what I wiII do.
I'II be gIad to show this to my lawyer and then respond to you,
- Then I'll thank you for your time. - Mr. Ross,
If I may, I don't see why you have to adopt an attitude.
- Thank you for your time. - These are Iegitimate concerns.

Which attitude is that?
Did you question my attitude when I developed the process?

I hope you're not talking about.,.
any kind of actions that would injure the company,
What do you mean?
- Any premature, out-of-school dealings. - How dare you,
- Because if we were to find any-- - How can you hire these people.,.
and hide behind them?
How dare you, after all I've done for this company?
