- Hello, Miss Wiatt.
- Hello, Ellen.
1:32:08
- JC, good to see you.
- Thank you.
1:32:10
- Where's the little one?
- At home.
1:32:12
- Oh, too bad. Come in. We're all waiting.
- Thank you.
1:32:17
- You remember Hughes Larrabee.
- Hughes.
1:32:19
- Thank you for coming.
- Good to see you.
1:32:21
- And Fritz.
- JC, welcome back.
1:32:23
- Thanks.
- Shall we?
1:32:31
You look terrific.
1:32:36
First of all, JC, on behalf of all of us,
I want to congratulate you...
1:32:41
...on a great, great success.
- Thank you.
1:32:44
Usually in a meeting of this nature
we have to take the client by the hand...
1:32:48
...and lead him through the negotiations.
1:32:50
But in this case, we know we're
dealing with a savvy businesswoman.
1:32:55
So we'll cut through the proverbial crap
and get to the nitty-gritty.
1:32:59
- (laughter)
- Hughes.
1:33:01
As Fritz told you, The Food Chain
is interested in acquiring Country Baby.
1:33:05
You've discovered an untapped market,
something we all know is tough to do.
1:33:10
However, we truly feel that you've taken
this thing just about as far as you can.
1:33:15
You work with an inexperienced staff in
a factory too small for your product load.
1:33:20
You're burdened with a severely
handicapped distribution apparatus.
1:33:24
What we'd like to do
is help you change all of that.
1:33:27
We'd like to see Country Baby
on every supermarket shelf in America.
1:33:31
- Mm-hm.
- JC, we all realise that...
1:33:34
...you may still be
harbouring some ill will.
1:33:37
In fact, Hughes suggested
we even bow out of these negotiations...
1:33:41
...but I assured him
you were a big girl now...
1:33:44
...and what happened between us
is water under the bridge.
1:33:47
Oh, well, it's water under the bridge
depending on how good your offer is.
1:33:57
I told you she'd play hardball!
