We used to meet at Morton’s, and before we went there for the first time, he said, “We’re not just going to lunch; I want you to watch and see what happens.” So they sat us right in the middle of the whole restaurant, and within the first ten or fifteen minutes, everyone there had made their way over to say hello, and everybody wanted to talk about a deal with him. I said, “Man, it’s like everybody wanted to come over and kiss the ring.” He said, “I always get the middle table so I can see everybody, and everybody can see me.” I took that note.
