tony bennett, toni morrison and zoe * caldwell. it was marvelous. first * time i've attended the kennedy honors. jane alexander is a client. old * friend of zoe's. what an actress. * anyway. connie, could you bring in your copy of the cox financials? tony sang "the best is yet to come." * mr. bennett. yeah, okay. so. we've drawn up the papers and are prepared to execute service on osbourne if you so elect, mrs. cox. our missiles are pointed at his capital, so to speak, and we await only your word. but, be mindful, madam: once these missiles are launched, there is no recalling them. we are not picking daisies. we are declaring war, and hostilities will then impose their own logic. i think you understand what i'm saying. mm-hm. of course. but since we are at the point of no return, i always urge my clients at this juncture to give it one more day of reflection.
