That means trouble. John Malkovich uses the visit phrase well as a company boss in the movie "Deepwater Horizon." Both participants are from New Orleans and you can see the fix-it guy understands the boss is there to put on the pressure to procede with oil production and quit the tests. He gets his way, but the rig blows up.
What do you think "Let's have a conversation" means?
