He finally gets a chance to slip away when Preston takes a power nap, but they are all caught later at a bar and the latter tells Peter that he'll never amount to anything. Peter challenges him for never even tasting their product, so he decides to give it a try. The next morning, the guys awaken a state of disarray and find a message from Preston asking for help. Unable to locate him, Peter starts to give Preston's presentation, but finds he is losing the clients, so he improvises his own based on his own experience with beer and manages the save the contract. Afterwards, Preston appears and states that he did it intentionally because after sampling beer and finding it totally disgusting, he realized that only a drunk like Peter could truly explain it. They finish out their time in Atlantic City together watching the bodies float in from the ocean at the pier.
