[Ari receives a call from someone while vacationing on the Amalfi Coast. It turns out to be John Ellis.]
I want you back here, Ari.
Not gonna happen, John.
You passed on running my studio once, which I thought was asinine. Are you really silly enough to pass on an offer from me twice?
Your studio head is doing a great job. You don't need me.
I don't want you to replace her. I want you to replace me...as chairman and CEO. It's my time, and yours. [drinks]
John...
This is not just about movies, it's about a film division that grossed four billion. It's about a television network and three premium cable networks. You want a sports franchise? Buy one yourself, 'Cause there'll only be a handful of other people making the sort of money you'll be making. And while everyone you know may own the fanciest clothes and the best cars, you will own the companies that sell 'em. You wanna know what Heaven really is, Ari? Try being God. Ari?
[flabbergasted at the offer] John, I just got here.
You're the only guy for this and you know it. Rest. Relax. I'll try you again in one week. [hangs up]
