I can't pry him away from the Board.

I wanna show you all that I _________your concerns very seriously.

Our operating costs are up 30% from last quarter.

He's been with the Board all day?

It's hard to get Tom's ____________.

Maybe I should join the Board.

Or you can __________my job. Please.

Ian approached us with the idea.

He's put together a very attractive ___________.

A public offering means a big _________for all of us.

Now, we've sunk years of revenue into that building, Tom. It's time to ______ out.

Come on, we got plenty of cash, don't we? And why?

Because we built _______ and retail ________ and phone _______, but no one is gonna remember any of those because they keep changing hands.

But 100 years from now, when people look ______their windows and they see that tower, they're gonna see the name "Brand" and that's a name they will never ______. And that is not something that I am willing to sell.
