I'd call his W and tell her not to bother with the talk, he won't be listening.
Seriously, I'd suggest to him that he put his notecards away. Instead, he should put ALL his energy into listening to her and sharing with her what he hears her say. When they are both comfortable that she has clearly communicated and he has clearly understood what she wanted to communicate, then he should say: "Thanks for talking and being patient with me. I've heard you and have a lot to think about. I'll do my best to give a meaningful and throughtful, sincere response to the things we've talked about by this weekend." He should then follow-through. If he wants to bring up other topics, he should do so after that in a different talk.
