But we had a bad meeting, Patrick and I, Whitesell, with Irv Weintraub, Jim Wyatt, and Dave Orshafter.
And I went nuts.
I was playing the chess match out and they didn't let me get to the end.
And I actually went talking about the negotiation.
I screamed at them.
We're sitting at a table like this at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
I went nuts.
I said, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
We could buy you.
We're two inches big and it's William Morris because we were more profitable.
And I said, you know nothing about business.
And I go fucking nuts.
And Patrick, to his credit, he knows when I hit the DEFCON 4 or 5, he'd just get the fuck out of the way.
Meeting ends.
It's over.
And we're walking down Wilshire.
And he goes, well, that's over.
I said...
No, it's not over.
This is happening.
