"Where's Ben Strong? Where's Montagu Norman?" demands Al.

 

"Chief ... they died, decades ago."

 

"Get Ayn Rand on the phone."

 

"Chief ... you don't look well. Lie down for a bit on the couch. I'll hang out the 'do not disturb' sign," suggests a pale and sobered Ben, looking around worriedly to see whether anyone has overheard this alarming exchange.
