Cemetary scene
Who did Paul go see and why was he so upset? I didn't get it
shareIf I recall correctly, the tomb belonged to his boyfriend, who also was involved in the company. It appeared he was very wealthy. In one scene, Paul mentions he is upset that his boyfriend passed away and left him all alone.
shareThat was my impression, too. That if Jeffrey (I think that's his name) were still alive, Paul wouldn't have to suck up to every donor/potential donor, and the company wouldn't always be in financial straits.
Paul was incapable of love, tho. Other than himself, of course. The way he treated his bf, esp with the $$ on the pillow the next morning was atrocious! I was glad to see that big turd left beside the $$.
When you first hear Paul's story with his "parents", you start to empathize and sympathize with him. But then he goes back to being an ass hole for the sake of being an ass hole. And there's only so much you can forgive of a person for the way they were raised. He may have been incapable of love, but he CHOSE to be a dick. That thanksgiving scene, where he refuses to hire back the dancer he dumped, proved it.

I agree that he could have hired back the ballerina at the Thanskgiving party, but better yet, how about not firing her at all out of spite! But he's so emotionally unstable for that. I had the impression that that party was a complete set-up - Paul knew the dancers were going to arrive at his house because that's what they do every year for him, to butter him up, to keep him happy and to keep their jobs. That's the impression it gave me. So much fakeness all around - from Paul's speech to how everyone saluted him. Everyone pretending everything was OK.
