Mister, dont you see were in a meeting, couldnt it wait? Normally you are delivering late, and now you are interrupting us! Xavier stays staring at the screen Xavier Very well balanced the colors out of this pie, and this histogram, how beautiful. M. Henry- A pie, Mister, a pie. Your view is of no interest to us, only experts can help us. Xavier Still, looking at it, you should look to the part highlighted as conception, and it is an imbalance to the whole picture. The pie would be savvier and balanced this way. Mister Henry stops the presentation, only the shadows of the people in the room are showing on the white screen. Mr. Henry is staring by the windows.

Xavier The exhausted souls outside deserve a break, it is raining, and still it is warm inside their car, they can start to speak to each other. Mr. Henry Mister, most of these cars if you havent seen have only one driver, no passengers. Please leave us alone, your mobile is ringing, another upset customer is waiting for you. Xavier Please sign here. Mr. Henry signs the delivery form Xavier Bye, Sir Xavier goes, Mr. Henry is coming back to his audience. Mr. Henry Eric, this guy was right.

Passionate as anyone Anyone consuming it with no tomorrow Landscape that comes and goes That we always catch up in a break.
