Charles Saatchi, adman extraordinaire: We were thinking simple but bold, Elliott.
Elliott Portnoy, Dentons CEO: Charles, that's exactly what we were thinking.
CS: Lord Saatchi to you.
EP: Isn't your brother the Lord?
CS: CALL ME LORD.
EP: Sorry, Lord Saatchi.
CS: But we also thought funky and fresh.
EP: I think we're on the same page.
CS: Elliott, say hello to your new logo:
EP: Jesus almighty Christ.
CS: It's the font isn't it. Don't worry, we can change that.
EP: Is that...a vibrator?
CS: Yup. The real thing is silicone. Just chuck it in the dishwasher.
EP: l...we're a law firm Lord Saatchi.
CS: But it's top of the range.
EP: That doesn't matter. It's unacceptable.
CS: Ok, I get it. We went too funky. Too fresh. Don't panic. We worked up a more sober alternative. Watch out, because this one is classy. I'm actually glad we reached this one. I'm excited, Elliott-o. Say hello to your new logo:
EP: This is the same thing.
CS: It is not, Elliott. That's a dildo.
EP: We've paid you thousands of dollars. Do you have anything that isn't 'Dentons' slapped on a sex toy?
CS: I don't understand you, Elliott. Those are both great campaigns. I don't want to be a partypooper, but you relaunch tomorrow. You have to pick something.
EP: Is there anything else? Anything at all? Wait, what's this?
CS: It's nothing. It's the preliminary sketch.
EP: We'll take it.
CS: You can't use that. I can't tell if it's a dildo or a vibrator. If you held a gun to my head I'd plump for...dildo. But it's hard to be certain. It could be a crayon. Is that the kind of mixed message Dentons wants to give out?
EP: Here's your money.
CS: Cheers. Bye!
EP: Can I meet Nigella?
CS: No.
