No, I mean:
"What's your pleasure, sir?"
"I want it all: Disposable movie sales...Guaranteed
pay-per-view...Never having to worry about rental income again."
"Many companies have lost their shirts over it, sir--Are you willing to
give everything?"
"I don't care--I want to be the disposable-disk company."
"Then the disks are *yours*, sir."
<exit>
"...They always were."
