At Halora Tower's entrance an older man promises $100 million to settle a dispute and dares the staff to collect. Onlookers—Mr. Ted, Howard and a defensive Ms. Smith—snipe at each other; coworkers mock Smith's cheap clothes and call her bluff. When the payer insists he'll pay, a man threatens to break someone's leg if cash doesn't appear. A wealthy man offers a deal: kneel and apologize to him and Ms. Smith and he'll drop the claim. The group refuses, then someone spots something unexpected that freezes the confrontation and leaves the outcome in question.
