Jack: Go ahead. Take your seat in dad's chair. You earned it, and I know without any shadow of a doubt he would approve.

Ashley: I would like you to meet andrew, who is a fantastic chemist I've hired to do some freelance consulting and handle some work at jabot.

Sharon: We have to tie him up before he comes to. Where are his neckties? Victoria!

Sharon: Is there a day that goes by when you don't replay that night in your head -- every time you see your fireplace and your bedroom...

Nikki: No, no, that's enough. That's enough!

Sharon: I know that I'm right! No matter what happens, we're never going to forget.

Kyle: Should I get it to go, or will you join me?

Lola: Depends.

Kyle: On what?

Lola: Are you gonna ask me out or what?

Tessa: Are you lola?

Lola: Sure am.

Tessa: Okay. Rey left this for you. I think it's power tools. Is this, like, a drill or --

Lola: That's a handheld power saw. Perfect. Thanks. I'll also take a coffee for the road, please.

Tessa: Right.

Kyle: It's on me, tessa.

Lola: Hey, you. Don't be springing for stuff yet. I can't start our date till tonight.

Kyle: You're sawing and... drilling?

Lola: Bolting down some stuff in my truck. Got a few rattles and a couple of other minor repairs.

Kyle: Have a minute to hang before you, uh, bolt?

Lola: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: See what I did there?

Lola: Yeah. Hilarious. Two minutes, and then I got to run.

Kyle: Okay.

Tessa: Coffee.

Kyle: I got it.

Tessa: So, at sharon's party, is that who you were excited about? Well done.

Kyle: Thank you.

[ Exhales sharply ] I've been up since 4:00, writing this epic report for work.

Lola: Sounds like someone got the promotion they've been waiting for. I hope your new office has a killer view.

Kyle: Yeah, none of that's happened yet. But this could be the way I snag it. Lots of upheaval at the office. Three new C.E.O.S in a week -- my uncle, my aunt, now my other aunt.

Lola: Well, sounds like your turn's bound to come sooner or later.

Kyle: I think sooner.

Lola: Would a basket of field-corn tamales help?

Kyle: Beyond. I'm starving.

Lola: Not for you. For your aunt.

Kyle: Eh, uh, I knew that.

Lola: Did not.

Kyle: Still... if you made them... same answer.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Summer: Thank you for inviting me to breakfast, grandma.

Nikki: Ohh. Well, it's not often you get to see a train wreck occur inside of a church. I've been thinking about you ever since.

Summer: Why me?

Nikki: You saw both of your parents' relationships explode into bits at the exact same time. That couldn't have been fun.

Summer: Well, yeah. I don't like seeing dad miserable, but, honestly, i never thought that getting back with sharon was a recipe for eternal bliss.

Nikki: You and me both, sweetie. But billy leaving phyllis? I mean, you like him.

Summer: Yeah, sure. Yeah. I mean, I like his energy and his enthusiasm.

Nikki: And I'm sure working in the same building, doing projects for jabot, you've probably gotten even closer.

Summer: Yeah. Okay. Do you think that I should have to give up that friendship with billy just because he ended things with my mom?

Nikki: What, because she cheated on him?

Summer: Thank you. I mean, obviously, what else could he have really done?

Nikki: Honey, I wouldn't worry about it. Give yourself a break. And, uh, this isn't an endorsement. It's just an educated guess. Billy and phyllis could be back together before the weekend.

Summer: Huh. 'Cause from what mom said, I got the feeling that billy's already moved on.

Nikki: She must be a wreck, but she's probably better off.

Summer: Really?

Nikki: You know billy's been gambling again. Victoria just told me that the board voted him out of jabot. It's just terrible to watch him -- the gambling -- ruin his life again, you know? Well, at least this time, victoria won't have to pick up the pieces.

Summer: But if he addresses his problems and goes back to being the guy that we all know and...like, then wouldn't you want him to find someone new that makes him happy -- someone that you like better than my mom?

Nikki: What, you already have somebody you want to fix him up with? Phyllis would love that.

Summer: No. I can promise you that that is something I would never do.

Ted: What time would you prefer the staff meeting?

Ashley: I guess as soon as they all can get here. I want to see all the heads of the departments and representatives from fenmore's, phyllis included.

Neil: Hey. Don't mean to interrupt your flow of power here, but, uh, how you doing? Good to see you.

Ted: Ms. Abbott's already in full command. I'm ted, her new assistant.

Neil: Ah.

Ted: It's such an honor to meet you. Hamilton-winters is such an exciting company. Please give my best to your son devon.

Neil: Sure. Thanks. Yeah. I appreciate that.

Ashley: Hi.

Neil: Hey, you.

Ashley: Oh.

Neil: I like that kid.

Ashley: Yeah. I like presents.

Neil: I bet you do, and you know what? There's a little something that will set the tone around here. Check this out.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Were you up all night, crafting?

Neil: Oh, you know me. I like to load up that turntable with some cool, smooth jazz, and that's when I really get crafty.

Ashley: Well, you know what I'm gonna do?

Neil: What?

Ashley: I am going to put this right here so everybody at the meeting today gets the message.

Neil: Just try to manage your expectations.

Ashley: I'm expecting opposition, both subtle and otherwise, and that's why I'm going to confront the leaders head-on. They can either help me drive this train down the track of my choice, or they can jump off at the next station.

Neil: You know, why don't you tell me all about it at dinner tonight, okay?

Ashley: I already inked you in.

Lola: So, behind those delectable fragrances and glamorous tv commercials, all that's going on? You swear?

Kyle: Those are only the recent events. Beauty can be an ugly business.

Lola: You want more irony? Most of my relatives back in miami are doing all the same shady stuff to each other -- for free.

Kyle: So, you and I are on the same hideous page. Cool.

Lola: It's bad enough that they're already battling each other, and then they expect you to pick a side -- theirs.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Funny you should say that. Ashley just called a staff meeting...in one hour. Just enough time to proofread, print, and pray.

Lola: Don't trip. I like it.

Kyle: You haven't read it.

Lola: Not the report. The mind-set -- determined, proactive, on about everything, always. Always in the zone, and when setbacks come flying at you, bam! -- You crush 'em. Or even better, dodge and avoid them completely.

Kyle: So, that's your secret.

Lola: One of them.

Kyle: Well, let's dodge one of those setbacks right now. Our date tonight -- what do you want to do on it? Your call.

Lola: How 'bout a movie? And we'll catch a later showtime if you get stuck at work.

Kyle: No chance. That's a setback I'll dodge on my own.

[ Sighs ]

Lola: How 'bout we meet back here at 6:00ish?

Kyle: 5:30, sharp. Hey, you said it -- determined, proactive, high expectations. I added a third one.

Tessa: Top you off?

Lola: Yeah, thanks.

Tessa: So, I don't mean to be nosy. Okay. Well, actually I did. How'd you two meet?

Lola: He got lunch at my food truck and then, in the space of one minute, annoyed me more than any guy I have ever met.

Tessa: Ooh. Was it the cute kind of annoying?

Lola: You know, like, the hardcore, old-school kind of annoying. Afterwards, I almost went on the food-truck review website and gave him an "f" as a customer.

Tessa: Well, clearly, his score improved since now you're dating.

Lola: Tonight's our first, so...ask me after that. Anyways, I have a food delivery and some repairs to do. But, you know, I kept bumping into kyle, really wanting to hate him, but I didn'T. And after seeing him today, I'm actually looking forward to our date.

Tessa: Me, too. And that's really abnormal. I do not matchmake. I never watch those romance reality shows where damaged people claw each other's eyes out just to meet someone and fall in love and get married to someone you met two weeks ago.

So, why do you care?

Tessa: Kyle's ex -- she's kind of a nightmare. Horrible to any guy who likes her, no interest, of course, until he finds someone knew. And you're an upgrade in every way. She's gonna lose her mind, and I'm gonna love to watch it.

[ Chuckles ]

Lola: So, um... who is kyle's ex?

Tessa: Ugh. Her name is summer newman.

Lola: [ Scoffs ] Newman?

Nikki: Do you really have to go?

Summer: Yeah. It's ashley's first staff meeting. I should probably be there.

Nikki: I understand.

Summer: Won't be much fun, though, watching her try to scrub any trace of billy off of jabot.

Nikki: What could billy have done to turn people against him so much? Do you know?

Summer: I guess he made some questionable choices, but, no, I don't know the details.

Nikki: Well, whatever he's done, I'm sure he's ashamed.

Summer: I hope not.

Nikki: You know, if billy puts in the work, he can grow from this, and then he can leave all these poor decisions behind him.

Lola: All done. Would you hold on to this for rey for when you see him?

Tessa: Oh, yeah. I mean, he is the unofficial crimson lights handyman. He does love coming to the rescue. I'm not complaining, though, 'cause if it weren't for rey, i wouldn't be so good at fixing up my truck.

Tessa: Okay. So, you can cook and change your oil? Wow. You really are the anti-summer.

Lola: I don't know this girl, but I'll take it as a compliment. So, if she's not in the kitchen or in the garage, what does she do?

Tessa: Uh, her mom's, like, a big deal at fenmore's, so her mom handed her an office job, which seems pretty cushy since she's only working like 20 hours a week, and being victor newman's granddaughter comes with a massive trust fund, so it's not like she's trying to support herself.

Lola: Wow. You called it. Yeah, summer and I are nothing alike.

Tessa: Congratulations.

Ashley: Thank you, everybody, for squeezing this in. Summer, lauren and I have been trying to reach your mother, who's also late. Is she on her way?

Summer: Um, well, I haven't heard from her today, and given the recent events...

Ashley: Given those, I would think she would do whatever she could to be here. I need to know that my team is working in sync, and that includes fenmore'S.

Lauren: Um, I will make sure that phyllis is on track and up to speed.

Ashley: Thank you so much. Anyway, I called this meeting because I want to put the turmoil and confusion to rest. Throughout my life, I've had a personal touchstone, my father and mentor, john abbott. I would like us to use his vision and his wisdom as a guiding light as we move this company forward. And the heartbeat of jabot has always been innovation. My father never assumed that a customer would be satisfied next season with something he or she purchased yesterday, so, to that end, I'm returning our focus and our funding to r&D.

Lauren: And where are these funds gonna be coming from, just out of curiosity?

Ashley: I think the most logical choice would be jaboutiques -- either scaling them back or eradicating them completely. And I'm aware that the next few quarters might be a little tricky, but, believe me, it will be well worth your hard work. I'm going to do everything in my power to make myself available to you each and every day, to continue john abbott's legacy, starting right now. If anybody wants to stick around and chat, I'm here.

[ Sighs ] Thanks for coming.

Kyle: I had a feeling you might want to put the jaboutiques on the chopping block sooner rather than later, so last night I conducted an in-depth review of all of our leases, suppliers, shipping contracts, and the allocated ad budget for the launch.

Ashley: Any conclusions?

Kyle: Oh, yeah, but... you're not going to like them.

[ Door opens ]

Nikki: Hey, honey.

Victoria: Hi, mom.

[ Door closes ]

Nikki: I am heading over to your house to pick up johnny and katie for grandparent night.

Victoria: That's so great. They were extremely disappointed when I told them they wouldn't be spending their special weeknights with daddy for a while.

Nikki: Your father and I are happy to help out whenever you need it. Can you join us for pasta?

Victoria: No, I can'T. The kids eat early, and, uh, I'm swamped. I haven't even gotten through half of what I need to today.

Nikki: All right. Well, we'll feed them, play some games, put their jammies on, and send them home. They'll be ready for bed.

Victoria: Great. Thanks. All good.

Nikki: Is something bothering you?

Victoria: Mom, I didn't want to show you this because i didn't want to freak you out. This -- this came in the mail for me yesterday.

Nikki: Oh, my god.

Nikki: Is this the first letter you've gotten like this?

Victoria: Yes. Just that one.

Nikki: No weird phone calls, voicemails, texts from unknown numbers?

Victoria: Nothing. Every time my phone makes a noise, I'm afraid to check it.-[ Sighs ]

Nikki: I hate to see your nerves on edge again.

Victoria: Mom, how can I be calm? We have no recourse. It's not like I can go to the police with something like this.

Nikki: What about a private investigator -- a discreet one?

Victoria: Discreet enough for a murder confession? No! We can't tell anyone. Promise me that you won'T.

Nikki: No, of course I won'T. I just want to make sure you and I are rational about this.

Victoria: Somebody else knows about that night.

Nikki: Now, we don't know that. You are a prominent woman in this town, and it could be some bored bully playing a prank.

Victoria: So, it's just a coincidence?

Nikki: There is nothing in this letter to say otherwise. I mean, there's no mention of J.T. There's no hint of what you supposedly did. It could be a disgruntled employee. Even if it is about J.T., Why would this person target you? I mean, I'm the one who killed him.

Victoria: He left you no choice.

Nikki: Well, with this, we do have a choice, okay? We can choose to ignore this. This sentence says nothing. It proves nothing.

Victoria: You're right. It doesn'T.

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: Honey.

Victoria: Have you gone through your mail here -- today's and yesterday's?

Nikki: Yes, all of it. No anonymous letters. Honey, I-I don't want you to obsess about this, okay? Please, resist the urge.

Victoria: I'll try. I promise.

Nikki: Okay.

Kyle: That's perfect. Send over the estimate, and I'll get back to you shortly. All right. Talk soon.

Ashley: Kyle, this is incredibly impressive. I can't believe you did this all in one night.

Kyle: I thought it was important for you to have every figure and all the data easily accessible.

Ashley: Well, thank you. And thank you for the tamales, by the way.

Kyle: Tamales?

Ashley: Well, yeah. They said they were from you. La vida lola is my favorite gourmet food truck. I thought you'd be working through lunch.

Ashley: You were right. By the way, did you ever consider that maybe nick newman would be open to lowering the penalties for those early terminated leases of ours? I mean, maybe they're open for negotiation?

Kyle: I did, which led me to create appendix B. If you'll flip to the end, I did a cost analysis of canceling the entire chain of boutiques if we could void our contracts with dark horse.

Ashley: All this and tamales, too? You really do think of everything, don't you?

Kyle: And it would cost more to cancel the entire project than to go ahead with the launch -- much, much more.

Ashley: Wow. Okay. Well, that settles it, doesn't it? Look out, shoppers. You can have jaboutiques whether you want them or not.

Kyle: I thought jaboutiques were always reckless and ill-advised.

Ashley: Exactly, and that's what we would be if we eradicated them, so... anything else?

Kyle: Uh, one more thing. My board vote yesterday was not a comment on your vision for jabot, which I back 100%.

Ashley: You were supporting your dad. You know, how could I hold that against you?

Kyle: So, you don't?

Ashley: Not a bit.

Kyle: I am so relieved to hear you say that.

Ashley: Did you think I was gonna be petty about it?

Kyle: No, 'cause I'm that excited for the future of this company and building it with you. We're out of damage control, so it's all about the innovation image, propelling jabot to new heights. Sky's the limit. And I'll be right there behind you, providing the same analysis and strategy you saw in that report. You can count on me.

Ashley: I already do.

Kyle: I think we could maximize harmony and effectiveness if I were your C.O.O. Let me amend. I know we could.

Ashley: You know, I'm gonna leave that position vacant for now.

Kyle: Vacant? So... you'd rather have no C.O.O. Than give me the job?

Ashley: That's not what i said.

Kyle: I think you did.

Ashley: That is a crucial position, you have to admit. Whoever fills it is my right hand, basically. It has to be somebody that i trust implicitly.

Kyle: Don't need to start sifting through résuméS. I'm right here. You know you can trust me. I've proven that. Constantly.

Ashley: You know how I felt about the tactics that you used against billy.

Kyle: To get billy out of here. As discussed. Like you wanted.

Ashley: I never wanted you to push a recovering gambling addict back to it. I told you that.

Kyle: Billy was gambling all on his own way before.

Ashley: Okay, but it was your manipulation that pushed him on the downward spiral to rock bottom, and you know it, just as you planned.

Kyle: You promised to reward me for my loyalty to you.

Ashley: You still have a job, kyle. Everybody else would have fired you for what you did -- to your uncle.

Kyle: He did it to himself.

Ashley: The minute you came to me and told me about your idea to use billy's gambling against him, I said no!

Kyle: And made a mental note to cross me off the C.O.O. List, without telling me, until you secured billy's job.

Ashley: I deserve it. I did everything by the book along the way.

Kyle: Because you had me doing all the real work as henchman and scapegoat, while you kept your hands as clean as those phony ethics you were just touting to everyone, and you call me sneaky and opportunistic?

Ashley: Insubordinate -- let's add that one to the list, you keep this up.

Kyle: My apologies, ma'am. You've taken so much care of that image you crafted of yours -- heroic and full of integrity -- and the world's buying it... for now. I'm cool being in the vanguard. Been there my whole career. The world always catches up.

Ashley: We're done here, kyle. Goodbye.

Kyle: I can't wait until your true colors start trending.

[ Door slams ]

[ Object clatters ]

"The young and the restless"

will continue.

Neil: To wearing it well.

Ashley: What, my suit?

Neil: Power. Looks smokin' hot on you, like the suit.

Ashley: Thank you.

Neil: So, how does it feel?

Ashley: Overdue.

Neil: I'll bet.

[ Both laugh ] One upside of waiting so long -- that extra experience will help you rock the C.E.O. Even harder.

Ashley: I've been channeling everything my father ever taught me. No secret he's my inspiration.

Neil: Couldn't be a better one. I hope one day my kids, their kids -- they talk about me the way you talk about your dad.

Ashley: Neil, I'm sure they already do. I'm not so sure that some of my younger teammates really grasped what I was getting at with my legacy spiel, however.

Neil: Mm. You'll teach 'em. By example.

Ashley: I'm not 100% proud of all the steps I had to take to reach this milestone.

Neil: Cheers.

Kyle: The movie was a blast. I'll have to pick up the graphic novel that they sourced it from.

Lola: And I'll have to order the t-shirt. We have to support any major movie with a female superhero... whose secret identity is a chef.

Kyle: Well, it can't be that rare. I know one.

Lola: I'll take that.

Kyle: It took superpowers to pull off today's operation tamale. It was also...very sweet.

Lola: Well, it was supereasy, too. I didn't even have to leave the truck. Mega assistant boy ted zoomed down to the curb in 10 seconds.

Kyle: It was a stellar idea. Ashley inhaled them.

Lola: And richly rewarded you, I hope?

Kyle: She did, with a knife in the back. But tonight, forget it. I want to hear about your adventures up till now.

Lola: Short but sweet. La vida lola is having a killer first few months, way past my own projections. Next step -- get more trucks, hire staff, and eventually open up la vida lola: The restaurant.

Kyle: Big dreams. And not too big -- just big enough.

Lola: That's why they're not dreams. They're plans.

Kyle: Well, plan on everyone wanting to taste la vida lola: The food. What about the guy who's lucky enough to... share it... in private?

Lola: The truck's takeout. Where they eat -- that's their own business.

Kyle: Not really what i meant.

Lola: I know what you were referring to. But I think that, um, maybe my love life is not as colorful as yours.

Kyle: Colorful?

[ Chuckles ] Why would you say that?

Lola: Well, with summer newman on your résumé, how could it not be?

Kyle: We forgot to get dessert. Be right back.

Victoria: Hey. What happened to grandparents' night?

Nikki: Oh, um, the kids are watching cartoons with your father.

Victoria: What brings you back?

Nikki: My office sent a package to me at the ranch today that I needed... along with this. It's identical to yours.

Victoria: Well, there's no denying it now. This has got to be about J.T. I feel happiest when I'm out enjoying my favorite things, like spending time in my garden. That's why I need a humana medicare advantage plan. Many humana medicare advantage plans cover everything - from emergency care and hospitals stays, to doctor office visits, and prescription drug coverage. In fact, last year, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $6900 on average on their prescription costs. Humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals. Plans that include vision and dental coverage. And most plans include silver sneakers fitness and a rewards program. All for a zero dollar monthly plan premium in most areas. Now I can be happy and healthy and keep enjoying all of my favorite things. Your health and happiness is important to us. Call or go online now to get your free decision guide and see how a humana medicare advantage plan can help keep you enjoying your favorite things.

Lola: You picked the best one. Where were we? Oh. Summer.

Kyle: Yes. I was going to ask you who told you about her, and then i realized tessa. So, here it is. We dated briefly a few years ago. Then we both moved back here separately around the same time. Sometimes we work together. End of story. Nothing intense or dramatic.

Lola: Awkward, maybe?

Kyle: It's not. We both moved on.

Lola: Okay, but totally unconnected to you... imagine abby, summer's aunt, is dating arturo, my brother. If abby and arturo got married, technically, I'd be summer's aunt, too. So even if I had never met you, summer and I could still be on a collision course.

Kyle: Maybe, but... why make it sound so explosive?

Lola: Well, tessa said if summer saw us together, that she would lose her mind. Even if she does, that's on her, so let's pledge not to play into any of her damage -- be the more mature ones. Pinky swear?

Kyle: Mature. You got it.

Victoria: They're identical.

Nikki: I have told no one about J.T.

Victoria: Well, I haven't told anyone, either. So, who do we blame -- sharon?

Nikki: She was tempted to tell nicholas.

Victoria: Yes, but we convinced her not to.

Nikki: Now that they're split up, she wouldn't, for sure. And phyllis --

Victoria: No, no. She -- she's the most anti-confession out of any of us. But someone else apparently knows.

Nikki: Or at least suspects.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, it has to be recent, because sitting on this information since last spring doesn't make any sense.

Nikki: All right. So, then what -- somebody overheard paul and rey talking about the case and our possible involvement?

Victoria: Really? Do you think that two police officers would be that indiscreet? Somebody must have stumbled across some new evidence.

Nikki: Like what?

Victoria: I don't know. Something random.

[ Sighs ] Maybe sharon was making notes in her mea culpa to nick, and computers get hacked every day.

Nikki: Well, you and I have not slipped up, which means we have no idea who could possibly be taunting us.

Victoria: I'm more worried about the "why." What is it that they hope to gain?

Andrew: Ashley.

[ Chuckles ] What an unexpected surprise.

Ashley: Oh, hi, andrew.

Andrew: Hi.

Ashley: You remember neil. You met him a few weeks ago, I think, right?

Andrew: I do. Hey.

Neil: Yeah. Hey, hey, hey.

Andrew: Good to see you.

Neil: Nice seeing you, too. You were doing some consulting and product development, I think, right?

Andrew: Yeah. Actually, I still am. And you -- my goodness, congratulations on that promotion. C.E.O. [ Whistles ] You must just be through the roof.

Ashley: Yeah. We actually just sat down to celebrate, so...

Andrew: Oh! Oh, my goodness. I'm sorry. And here I am -- I'm interrupting you. I apologize. Actually, I-I do have one very small but urgent, important matter I need to discuss with you.Pneil, do you mind if I steal her for just a second? Is that okay? I promise it's gonna save us all a lot of trouble later on.

Nikki: I need to get home.

Victoria: Yeah. I'm gonna be leaving shortly myself.

Nikki: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come back here and disturb your work. I-I just was too upset to sit through a cartoon marathon.

Victoria: Mom, I totally understand. Since I received this letter, i haven't been able to think about anything else myself... or -- or -- or come up with a clue as to who sent it.

Nikki: You know what you should do? You should take katie and johnny and just leave town for a week, maybe two. I'll come up with an excuse for your father.

Victoria: I can'T. Work is piling up. Besides, there's no point. Wherever we went, I'd be looking over my shoulder.

Nikki: Honey, it's not like we would have to announce your travel plans. I mean, our little mysterious pen pal might be a disturbed individual, but he can't possibly know your every move.

Victoria: We don't know that! We don't know what they're capable of!

[ Sighs ] I'm sorry. I'm gonna walk you out. I should pack it in for the day.

[ Groans ] Not like I'm gonna get any sleep. But it's better than fighting off nightmares. The moment I close my eyes, they just... come back. What am I saying? The nightmares are already back. We're living in one.

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: [ Chuckles softly ] Want another one?

Lola: No. No can do. I have to be up by sunrise. And if I eat this much sugar this late...

Kyle: Got it. Uh... I can walk you to your car.

Lola: No, it's okay. It's parked right out front.

Kyle: So, I guess I'll see you when I see you.

Lola: Um, you know... where to find me.

Kyle: Bye.

[ Sighs ] Forget something?

Lola: Yeah. This. High expectations, right?

Ashley: So, we're in the middle of dinner. Uh, please make this quick.

Andrew: Oh, I will. I am so pleased that everything at jabot went your way.

Ashley: Yeah, you said that. And?

Andrew: And I'm expected to be rewarded for making that happen.

Ashley: We've been working together for months. You have been rewarded per the very generous terms of our deal.

Andrew: Ah, you see, well, that was our old deal. The night of your newfound success, I think it's time to renegotiate and perhaps maybe even a little bonus if you're feeling generous. I'm thinking... I don't know... double my monthly.

Ashley: Okay. Well, um... this is incredibly inappropriate and very obnoxious. I'm not gonna be doubling your salary. I'm reducing it zero because your very much appreciated services are no longer required.

Andrew: Oh, I see. So, secrecy is no longer required? Okay. Well, then in that case, I think maybe we should include your little friend neil over there in our conversation -- I mean, just to be polite. Ohh. So I see secrecy is still very much valued by you. Okay. Well, I'll be in touch. You can let go of that arm now.
