Meredith warns Tom that this might be a tricky question. He reads it, says "Hmmm..." then says, "I'd go with Walt Disney. I don't say that just because I work for the Disney company. Sonya asks Tom how sure he feels about his answer. Tom says, "Here's the thing - you're in New York and I'm in California and if you go with me it will take you a long time before you can get here and throttle me." He finally says that he's 70% sure of his answer. Sonya says she'll take his advice.
