The premise

Here’s the bit.

With Marjorie poised to seize Derwent Enterprises, John rallies Peter for a desperate business counterattack. They discuss shares, place urgent telephone calls and treat every development as a personal crisis, though their grand declarations keep collapsing into misunderstandings. Talk of marriage and children wanders into the strategy session while both men repeatedly refill their glasses. After agreeing on a response to New York, they abandon their high-pressure meeting to find another drink.
