Mr. Szidon--
Charles, please.

358
00:16:49,997 --> 00:16:52,065
Hi. Amy.
Eileen sent me

359
00:16:52,099 --> 00:16:54,267
Amy.
to see--

360
00:16:54,302 --> 00:16:56,769
We know each other.
Yeah.

361
00:16:56,804 --> 00:16:58,371
Well, I said hi the other day.

362
00:16:58,405 --> 00:17:00,038
I told you I appreciated

363
00:17:00,073 --> 00:17:01,706
your comments at the TED Conference.

364
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:04,441
Right. Yes. Thank you.
Oh, yeah.

365
00:17:04,476 --> 00:17:05,676
Thank you for coming here.

366
00:17:05,710 --> 00:17:07,978
I'm not going into the office this week,

367
00:17:08,012 --> 00:17:11,280
and Eileen felt strongly we should meet.

368
00:17:11,315 --> 00:17:14,016
It's just so nice
for her to set this up.

369
00:17:14,050 --> 00:17:15,284
She's very special to me.

370
00:17:15,318 --> 00:17:17,619
She's been with me
through many incarnations.

371
00:17:17,653 --> 00:17:20,521
Loyalty is all.

372
00:17:20,556 --> 00:17:22,023
She's very sweet.

So, Amy, tell me what you're thinking.

378
00:17:34,234 --> 00:17:35,701
I feel like there's a real need

379
00:17:35,735 --> 00:17:38,103

380

381
00:17:40,573 --> 00:17:42,407

383

a lot back to Riverside,

384
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:49,413

We are corporate citizens.

386
00:17:51,249 --> 00:17:54,417
Well, I'm not talking about
charitable contributions.

387
00:17:54,452 --> 00:17:57,053
I'm talking about looking fundamentally

388
00:17:57,087 --> 00:17:59,722
at how we impact the world

389
00:17:59,756 --> 00:18:02,589
in really negative ways

390
00:18:02,625 --> 00:18:05,827
and how to change that.

391
00:18:05,894 --> 00:18:08,696
It's about choosing to make ethics

392
00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:10,897
a priority.

393
00:18:10,932 --> 00:18:14,434
You know, when you have a job like mine,

394
00:18:14,468 --> 00:18:17,770
you are reminded
of the bottom line every day.

395
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:19,939
I took over this company
when it was losing money,

396
00:18:19,973 --> 00:18:21,507
and now it's in the black.

397
00:18:21,541 --> 00:18:24,643
That's great for now,
but if the rain stops falling

398
00:18:24,677 --> 00:18:28,946
and the crops die,
the king will be killed.

399
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:31,081
It's very primal.

400
00:18:31,116 --> 00:18:33,283
You're not gonna be killed.

401
00:18:33,318 --> 00:18:35,018
You're gonna get a $50 million parachute

402
00:18:35,052 --> 00:18:36,886
and move to Pebble Beach or something.

403
00:18:36,921 --> 00:18:39,422
I mean, you'll be good.

404
00:18:39,456 --> 00:18:41,457

No.

405
00:18:41,491 --> 00:18:43,225
No. That's all right.

00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:45,327
Aw, thanks.

407
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:53,770
You want to know what I really think?

408
00:18:53,805 --> 00:18:55,639
Definitely.

409

The bacteria has exploded, and it is us,

411
00:19:01,111 --> 00:19:02,744

413

I see chaos and the end of times,

so everyone survives.

and sometimes I'm wrong,
and sometimes people get hurt,

419

of feeling powerless?
