Yes, there's the technical difficulty. This is no ordinary job. It has to be done expertly. It's some time since I was a technician, but the talent hasn't left me. Let's see. I have it. New Year's Eve is just a few days off.

Manny Coe:

Vincent Williams:

Until the new year. Good-bye, Manny. [He holds out his hand. Manny shakes his hand briefly, but Vincent continues to hold Manny's hand until Manny pulls away]
