Katherine: I believe we’ve done some things with the various sports franchises in the city in recent years.

Jim: Yes, we did a great historical exhibit on baseball here. Was an extremely popular exhibit and drew tourists and generations of families. I remember getting letters from lots of grandfathers and grandkids who had come together.

Bette: Those are great examples. Try to work those into the discussion naturally. We don’t have a structured agenda for lunch, but I want Disney to really lead that discussion after our tour of the museum before lunch.

Jim: Bette, you are doing a fantastic job. I’m so glad Aidan didn’t give up his pursuit of you for the museum.

Katherine: I agree. Whether this deal works out or not, you’ve put the Whitney into a whole new ball game and that has our board and patron base buzzing.

Bette: I will be out of the museum tomorrow and won’t be available. I have a court hearing to hopefully finalize the adoption of my daughter Angelica.

Jim: We wish you all the best with that and know the judge will see what a great mother and role model you are for Angelica.

Katherine: How exciting for you Bette. I’m sure things will go your way and we’ll be able to formerly congratulate you on Wednesday. Enjoy your family tomorrow, you’ve certainly earned that.

They end the call and Mandy as if on cue comes in with a salad for Bette.

Bette: Thank you! I’m starving.

Mandy: Well you worked out and only had a muffin this morning. You should be starving. I emailed you the updated presentation. Take a look while you enjoy your lunch. Oh by the way. Alice called for you.

Bette: I’ll call her while I’ll have lunch. She won’t even notice that I’m not talking.

Mandy: You are bad!

Bette calls Alice.

Alice: Like OMG is this the Bette Porter? Like totally the New Yorker Porter? Oh my god I rhyme. I crack myself up sometimes!

Bette: Glad you have one of us laughing.

Alice: Now see I was calling to check on you to see if you were still sane before tomorrow. The thanks I get for being your friend.

Bette: Aw, you know I love you Al. I’m fine and really ready to get on with it already, you know? I have a good feeling about things, but know it isn’t over until it’s over.
