Greenway:
As you know, we need a big launch, fast, to get the company back on track. So I think I speak for my fellow board members when I say, this better be good.

Walter:
Before I get into the story, let me start with the cover, okay? Now, just picture this...

Michael:
Dad! I gotta talk to you.

Walter:
Michael, what is it?

Michael:
Buddy ran away.

Walter:
What?

Michael:
He left a note. I'm scared, Dad. He's gone.

Walter:
Let me just finish this meeting and then we'll figure it out, okay?

Michael:
[Concernedly] Figure out what? Buddy cares about everybody. All you care about is yourself.

Walter:
Hey, Michael. Wait. We're gonna have to reschedule this, Mr. Greenway.

Greenway:
We don't have time to reschedule. I wanna hear the damn thing now. Son, you'll have to wait.

Walter:
No, don't tell my kid what to do. Can't we do this another time, Mr. Greenway?

Greenway:
I flew in just to hear this pitch and I intend to.

Walter:
It's gonna have to wait.

Greenway:
If you wanna keep your job, Hobbs, you will pitch me this book right now.

Walter:
Well, up yours.

Michael:
Yeah, up yours.

Walter:
Hey.

Greenway:
[Angrily] Hobbs! Hobbs! HOBBS! YOU WALK OUT OF HERE AND YOU’RE FINISHED THE GREENWAY! YOU’RE FINISHED!
