:46:12
What are you smiling about ?
:46:17
Eighty-eight ?
:46:22
I was in London in 1988.
:46:29
You never went to London.

[ Woman Over P.A., Loudly ]
Jack, you're needed in mag
wheels. Customer waiting.
:46:43
I was the number one
junior sales associate
for E.F. Hutton in 1988.
:46:48
Did you know that ?
Uh, no.
No, I didn't.
:46:51
That's great.
:46:53
That's the kind of thing
you could really build on,
you know ?
:46:55
Uh-huh. Yeah.
I mean, sales has always been
a feeder for M&A. Always.
:47:00
Uh-huh.
:47:02
Well, look, here we are.
The mag wheels. Mag wheels.
:47:05
Oh.
So.
:47:07
Hey, Jack, um,

Much of the market's action
today was fueled by the latest
round of merger mania...
:47:33
to hit Wall Street...
:47:35
when Global Health Systems
and Med Tech Pharmaceutical
announced their intentions...
:47:38
to join forces in a massive
$122 billion stock swap deal,
:47:43
the largest ever
in the health care industry.
:47:45
When asked about the possible
anti-competitive implications,
:47:48
Global chairman Bob Thomas
referred reporters...
:47:50
to P.K. Lassiter & Company
president Alan Mintz,
the architect behind the deal.
:47:55
- That's my deal !
- Ironically, Mintz first met
Thomas at a Lamaze class.
:47:59
While coaching their pregnant
wives, Mintz and Thomas...
What ?
