A woman is approached by a man at a bar, who compliments her looks and offers a drink. She reflects that her ex-husband Yale never appreciated her, while this stranger seems to have 'good taste'. As she accepts his toast, a colleague named Mr. Clark arrives, noting his discomfort with the setting. The woman pressures Clark to relax, insisting the work project is secure and that a drink will reveal the bar's appeal, shifting the dynamic to a business-social negotiation.
