So, l board, and l sit next to Don Geiss. And l want to make a good impression, so l bought four bottles of absolutely fantastic champagne.

You're gonna love this story. We're on our way to Tokyo. We're out over the ocean, and the cabin pressure drops. The masks are coming out of the ceiling, and the corks are popping out of the champagne bottles. l don't give a damn about the masks. l'm on all fours trying to shove the corks back in the bottles. And Don Geiss says, ''Now, there's an executive who knows how to keep his costs down.''

Floyd:
|
l'm gonna get more crab cakes. Liz, you want anything?
|
|
Liz:
|
No, thanks. What are you doing?
|
|
Jack:
|
l'm watching the ballgame with you and the Floydster.
|
|
Liz:
|
But. . . Don't you kind of feel like a third wheel, Jack?
|
|
Jack:
|
No. Lemon, you're the third wheel.
|
|
Liz:
|
|
|
Jack:
|
lt's really quite simple. Men seek out the company of other men they admire and want to be like. Floyd is me 20 years ago. l'm Don Geiss 30 years ago. 20 years from now, Floyd will be me, l'm gonna be Don Geiss, and Don Geiss will be dead.
|
|
Liz:
|
|
|
Jack:
|
Men do. That's why you're the third wheel.
|
|
Liz:
|
|
|
Jack:
|
Lemon, are you telling me to stay away from your boyfriend? Not that l blame you, because l could take him away from you if l wanted to.
|
|
Liz:
|
This is my life, Jack. l know you're in a bad spot right now, but you can't use Floyd to feel better about yourself. lt's not fair.
|
|
Jack:
|
All right. How about some kind of a time-share arrangement? You can have him Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
|
|
Liz:
|
l don't want Friday. We have a show. Why am l even having this conversation with you? Look at your life, Jack. lt's -- lt's like this skybox. lt's fancy and it's empty and it smells like crab cakes. Get your own Floyd because this one is taken.

Jack:
|
Oh, outstanding. Thank you.
