   Jack vs. Irving, Tarrantino style.  That's actually quite humorous to   
   think about.   
      
   The Scene:   
   	A little office in a strip mall in Southern California.  Inside, uber   
   geeks are working with soldering irons and grunting jargon.   
   Occasionally the word "Lorraine" can be heard.   
      
   	In walk Jack Tramiel, carrying a plain white envelope.  He walks   
   through the door marked "Mane Dood" and throws the envelope on the   
   "dood's" desk.   
      
   Jack:   
   	This is my best offer.  I know you already have a deal with Atari, and   
   if you don't accept this offer we'll bleed you dry and get you for nothing!   
      
   LOUD SOUND BEHIND JACK   
      
   Jack spins around quickly to see a Jewish guy dressed like Hugh Heffner   
   carrying a big manila envelope.   
      
   Irving Gould:   
   	Dood, I'll save you and Lorraine from this miscreant.  I'll buy you out   
   for ten times your company's worth!   
      
   Jack picks up the plain white envelope, walks to Irving.   
      
   Jack:   
   	This ain't over fly-boy.   
      
   Irving:   
   	Really?  I thought we were just getting started, daddio.   
      
   Jack draws a Roman short sword from his suit vest and jabs it at Irving,   
   stopping just microns from his nose.   
      
   Jack:   
   	See you at CES, old man.
