Decision

"So, how can I help? Legal issues are beyond my expertise."

"I know. If NBC was planning on giving up on the show, then I wouldn't be here today. It's a novel, beneficial program, but we don't want to spend any more on it. It's not about money, it's about manners. If all companies behaved like this, no one would ever be able to work in peace. A contract is not a game. We'd never give in to this kind of blackmail. We won't pay them a single extra penny!"

"So?"

"So, we would like to ask you to appear in the last season as a guest judge. The audience ratings will increase greatly, and we will show them that we contribute just as much to the show. Then the producer will have no excuse to ask for more."

"If you participate in the fourth season, we will remain their first choice and we'll make a reasonable offer."
