Emery: Please, take a seat Mr. Sanders.

Mr. Sanders: I rather stand but I'll be polite.

Emery: Appreciated. I am Emery Crassus as you know the new head business women of my dad's business

Mr. Sanders:  I know you from when David was mentioning you, he said that your smart and you are a smart young lady, can I offer you a smoke

( Mr. Sanders pulls of his cigar pack from his pocket)

Emery: Yes, it is quite a bit of nonsense, I must agree but necessary nonsense I'm afraid, and I don't smoke

Mr. Sanders: pity

Emery: May I offer you a drink? Surely, you drink. Scotch? Brandy?

(Mr. Sanders lights his cigar)

Mr. Sanders: Bourbon.

Emery: My pleasure.

(Charlotte gets up and pours Sanders bourbon)

Emery: You may be wondering why my dad asked you to come here.

Mr. Sanders: Actually, I know exactly why he sent for me.

Emery: Do tell.

Mr. Sanders: Patents.

Emery: Yes, that is correct. The patents.

Mr. Sanders: Perhaps we should cut to the chase, Miss Crassus. We are both business people, are we not? No need to beat around the bush.

Emery: That is correct, Mr. Sanders. Should I offer my proposition or would you prefer to offer yours?

Mr. Sanders: I know what you want and I know how you go about getting what you want. I understand the importance of this deal, for my sake. I'm prepared to give you my full forty-percent.

Emery: In exchange?

Mr. Sanders: Nothing.

(Sanders pulls out an envelope and hands it to Emery)

Mr. Sanders: I've completely signed over all my rights. You have full control. Don't look so alarmed. I'm giving you exactly what you wish.

Emery: Why no fuss? Surely, there must be something you desire?
