Business Moment - Cart Service

Two young businessmen sit in their suits on an airplane.  They're in the same row, with the aisle between them.  The aisle is not getting in the way of their buisnessmen's flight meeting, as they lean into the aisle, enthusiastically discussing business ideas, improvements, productivity... Their businessfaces a mere 4 inches away from each other's.

       "--Absolutely! I'll call him about the proposal and we can work out the details."

       "That would be excellent. And I'll rally everyone up on my end and put together a report to blow them out of the water!"

(Nobody else around them is talking.)

Just then, the businessmen are almost aware that the space between them is altered as a stewardess squeezes through and parks a beverage cart between them.  As she pours cokes, business continues, with the men's faces meeting wherever they can in this new setup: around the cart and the stewardess, wherever there's a gap of negative space.  As she leans forward to grab a cup, they get a few businesswords in behind her back.  As she bends down to get the ice, a reassuring nod is passed over her head, as she reaches across for a napkin, the men share a businessknowing chuckle between her belly and the heavy metal cart.
