How did you manage that one, huh?

Well, I persuaded David Truman to authorize me to set up a holding company

to acquire controlling interest in Western Pacific Publishing,

the publishers of Modern Girl.

They're about to go belly up.

Truman is not interested in publishing.

I know. He thinks we're going to liquidate the assets for 30 million.

But you're not, are you?

I tricked him into making me president and majority shareholder of the holding company.

I'm going to revamp the magazine and give it a completely new image.

I'm going to call the new magazine Golden Girl.

So you tricked David, did you?

That is a beaut.

I would love to hear the fine details on how you pulled that off.

Well, when I gave him the papers to sign, I kind of distracted him a little.

What do you mean you distracted him?

Well, I made sure his eyes weren't on what he was signing.

And I am absolutely sure his mind was somewhere else as well, wasn't it?

I really wouldn't know.

No.

Come on, Sarah.

We both know that David would not sign anything unless he was busy trying to get in your pants at the time.
