THANK YOU. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, UM, MAYBE YOU WERE PU ON THAT ELEVATOR WITH THAT GUY THAT NIGH TO LEARN A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF. OR MAYBE THE LESSON WASN'T YOURS TO LEARN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU INVERTED THE STOCK PRICE ON THE KELLER AGREEMENT. INSTEAD OF $51 A SHARE, THIS SAYS THAT THE BELL CORPORATION IS BUYING OUT 60% OF KELLER'S STOCK AT $15 A SHARE. YOU THINK KELLER WAS SKITTISH BEFORE? HA! WITH THESE PRICES, HE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD OUR FEES. DID THE PARTNERS SEE THIS? NO. I CAUGHT IT FIRST. LISTEN, JOHN, I GET WHAT YOU SEE IN LIBBY. I DO. TRUST ME, I HAVE DATED MY FAIR SHARE OF PARTY GIRLS. LIBBY IS NOT A PARTY GIRL. BUT YOU'RE A PARTNER NOW. NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOU TO BE GETTING DISTRACTED OR MAKING MISTAKES. AND I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA THINK I'M A JERK AND A SNOB FOR SAYING THIS, BUT COME ON. LIBBY IS NEVER GOING TO FI IN YOUR LIFE. I MEAN, WOULDN'T THE NICE THING BE JUST TO END IT NOW BEFORE IT GETS TOO COMPLICATED? [sighs] JONATHAN? YOU ALL RIGHT? HMM, I DON'T KNOW. [sighs] REMEMBER WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO ENTER YOUR LIFE? SURE, I DO. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THAT PERSON IS THE RIGHT PERSON? WHAT IF THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO LET THEM GO, AND HOW CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE? THOSE ARE ALL GOOD QUESTIONS. IS EVERYTHING OKAY WITH YOU AND LIBBY? I DON'T KNOW. I JUST-- I LEAD A VERY STRUCTURED LIFE, AND LIBBY IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT USED TO THAT. THAT CAN BE A GOOD THING. YOU CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER. AND, JONATHAN, YOU KNOW, THE ANSWER TO A GOOD RELATIONSHIP IS COMPROMISE. JUST...IT'S CONFUSING, YOU KNOW? YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SOLVES PROBLEMS FOR A LIVING. [laughs] YEAH.
