** Oh, it gets WAY better than that, to the point it arguably doubles as a Moment Of Awesome. What Sam actually SAID was "3 times 17%" or 51%, or a MAJORITY SHARE, and once things get rolling, he gets Morel so off balance by claiming his office is now Sam's office and otherwise being his usual annoying self that within ''seconds'' of trying to deny Sam 17% of the station he's agreeing to give Sam that share ''in writing.'' What Morel had said about the verbal 51% not holding up in court is most likely true, but once something actually has his signature on it, it ought to! Complete with a lampshade hung by Sam himself:
