Linus: You're here.
Mack: So are you.
Linus: I want you to call Seattle and Tokyo and tell them to sTOP construction. Then get the Rons and Tysons and tell them there's an emergency meeting on the merger1 here at noon. And take this Paris ticket that was in my name and transfer it to the name of David Larrabee. I need to see my mother.
David: Linus!
Linus: Need to see my mother as soon as she gets in.
Mack: Good morning, David. Can I get you some coffee? No? OK.
Linus: I got a surprise for you.
David: Yeah. I got one for you, too. I've watched you do business for years, but I thought there was a limit to how sick you could... How could you, Linus? How could you do what you did to me and her? How could you go that far ? What the hell makes you think you have the right?
Linus: Habit. Listen, David, I tried something and it didn't work, I mean it worked, but it didn't really work. I want you to go to Paris today, with Sabrina.
David: What?
Linus: This whole thing was a business tactic2, I let it get out of hand. Somehow I lost my focus. I screwed up everything. But I know it can be fixed3. I manipulated her, I confused her. But she's loved you all her life. You're what she really wants. You're what she's always wanted. Go with her, it's not too late. Things will work out. She'll make you happy. I don't want her to have to leave here alone.
David: What about Patrick and the merger? You'd blow a billion dollars for this? I see.
Linus: Get going. Go on. Don't miss the plane.
David: Ms. McCartle I want to see you in my office right away. Where is it?
