The Never Ending Quest - Episode 32608

"Did I just hear this guy correctly?"
"Yeah, you did!"
"How can we take his client seriously if he's leaving meetings to, well, bop the bishop?"
"He really can get that done in ten minutes or less?"
"This is a crucial business meeting, so personal matters like that really should be left at home."

Fred sits silently on his end of the negotiations table, nervously looking back and forth, while waiting for the WTC brass to finally turn their attention back to him, or for his attorney, Jody Cody, Jr., to return from the washroom. And by god, Jody had better washed his hands thoroughly after finishing his chore.

"Mr. D'Honaire," says the most important looking man at the opposite side of the table. "At this point, we feel it's in everyone's best interest to call off negotiations and send you on your way."

  1. Fred meekly complies, leaving with his head down.
  2. Fred responds by pulling out his mighty sword (no, not that one).
  3. Jody returns to the meeting after exactly ten minutes.
  4. Jody returns after more than ten minutes. He tries to explain why, but the meeting is called off.
