He walked over to the bar, pulled out a bottle of fine wine that had been aged for years, and asked, "Would you like some? Or perhaps juice, or coffee?"

If it were in the past, this gentleman might not have offered him anything to drink, or even mentioned it, directly diving into the topics he wished to discuss and then showing him out.
But now, not only does he ask Lynch if he wants something to drink, he even pours it himself and brings it over. This represents change, the kind of change everyone pursues — a shift in status.
