(Mr. Barnes calls Steve on
the intra-office phone)
Dawson?
Yes, this is he.
Contact Goddard and come
up to my office immediately.
I want to go over today's meeting
in advance.
Mr. Goddard is with me now;
we'll come up right away. (Steve
to James) Well, that was the
old man; it's show time. And
he sounds a little nervous,
which means we have to be even
more careful.
I'll be extremely careful.
I just don't want him to yell
at me again. I'm an engineer,
not a secretary.
Be careful. Lisa might hear
you. Anyway, let's go. (Steve
and James go up to Mr. Barnes'
office and his secretary sends
them in. They knock on the door.)
Come in.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Mr. Barnes.
How are you?
I'll be a lot better after
this meeting is over. I hope
you two have done your homework
because this is a huge deal.
If we can convince Wang about
our company then larger computer
firms will follow. I don't have
to tell either of you that could
mean millions of dollars. I'm
counting on you.
Don't worry Mr. Barnes, sir,
you can depend on us. Isn't
that right James?
Yes, I think. I mean, of
course you can.
I had better be able to.
And if you two do a good job,
I won't forget it when it comes
time for promotions either.
I put you on this assignment
because you are my two best
men; I know you won't disappoint
me. Well, let's hear about your
ideas for the presentation.
Goddard, would you like to start?
I think it might be best
to let Mr. Dawson begin; he's
the expert at sales.
