Denis came to the meeting in the community clubhouse with a four-page statistical analysis. Howard came with a cocktail. Perhaps it was inevitable that they would eventually get testy with each other. "Are you going to overtalk me, or am I going to overtalk you?" Howard said at one point, as neither would yield as they reacted to a woman's comment. "Well, I guess you're going to overtalk me," Denis said, adding, "I'm still going to take five minutes when she's done." "You can take 10," said yet another person in the crowd.
