And you're standing in the way of where, because I've already played the chess match out.

If I get this, this, and this, then here's what happens.

You're standing in the way of my chess match.

That's why I'd be pissed.

The greatest deal I ever made was quote-unquote merging with William Morris.

$44 million.

Paid out the CFO and Jim Wyatt.

They never thought we were going to write a check for $20 million and have the votes to fire them.

Patrick Whitehall and I did that.

Got the deal done and the merger done, I think, in a year.

And they had a horrible culture, so everybody hated each other.

And we just played the chess match on their side and then took over the company and brought in Silver Lake.

And that then led to everything.

So here's what happened.

They were in trouble.

They just were losing clients and financially in trouble and they all hated each other and they knew they didn't have good leadership.

And we could just keep them putting out bad press on them and taking agents and taking clients.

It took seven years to do that.

And then we just pitted board members against them and brought them on our side because we actually treated them well.

We actually did.
