Elf (2003).
Walter's associates Morris and Eugene Dupree suggest bringing in Miles Finch in an attempt to create a better idea for a children's book. Walter agrees, and the three men call Miles to see if he wanted to help them. He replies that he will give them only five hours of his time.

The next day, Miles arrives at the Greenway Press corporate headquarters within the Empire State Building in New York. He is called into a meeting where they discuss children's book ideas. Right when Miles is about to pitch his idea, Buddy barges in to inform Walter that he is love with Jovie, and when he sees Miles, thinking that Miles is an elf (because of his dwarfism), Buddy asks him how he left the North Pole. Unfortunately, Miles takes this the wrong way and thinks Buddy is insulting him. Miles goes on saying he gets more action in a week than Buddy does in his entire life and that he owns houses in Los Angeles, Paris, and Vail (each one with a 70-inch plasma screen TV).

He then dares Buddy to call him an elf one more time. Buddy takes this literally and whispers to everyone around him that he is an angry elf. Unable to control his temper, Miles jumps on Walter's table, charges at Buddy, and attacks him. Miles dares Buddy to call him an elf one final time and Buddy again takes this literally and tells Miles he is an elf. As Miles keeps attacking him, Buddy violently pushes himself off the table. Walter tries to explain Buddy's misunderstanding, but Miles angrily ignores him and storms out of the building without pitching his book idea. Getting up, Buddy, still thinking Miles is an elf, claims he must be one from the South Pole. Furious, Walter shouts at Buddy for ruining the meeting and disowns him, screaming at him to get out of his life.

Trivia.

 * He's an angry elf. He must be a South Pole elf.
 * It's Miles Finch's notebook, pitching better ideas about Greenway Press corporate headquarters.
 * He's not the boss of the publishing company, Fulton Greenway is. I think he was just an established freelance author with a huge fan following that they brought in to help them gurantee their new book would be a hit.
