You're doing it again, Bill. Dick won't even respond to our business proposal because you keep losing focus. I think you would do extremely well with our clock and lamp business if you'd just sit still long enough to manufacture those damn clocks!

In the interim, Dick does not appear to be interested in striking a deal with us - largely, I think, based on the fact you're pining after Dick's Chief Information Officer! You know better than mixing business with pleasure. The last time you tried that nonsense, you ended up purchasing a $50K stove from France!!!

You stay out of the negotiations, Bill. Clearly you're not in any kind of mindset to conduct business.
