:29:06
Never you fear, your Hollywood is here.
:29:08
Rumor Control has it that the board
wants to fire your little behind.
:29:12
You let me in there at those so-and-sos.
:29:13
I'll straighten them out, tout de suite.
How can they think of firing you?
:29:17
They're business people.
:29:18
They won't appreciate an emotional appeal.
:29:20
You're right.
:29:21
I was hoping to avoid this,
but this is an hour of desperation.
:29:25
This is not the way to approach this, okay?
:29:27
You don't think so?
:29:30
Please don't tell anyone
you saw me dressed like this.
:29:33
I have a reputation to uphold.
:29:34
My lips are sealed.
I appreciate this demonstration.
:29:37
That's it! A demonstration!
:29:40
I'll create a media event.
Call the newspaper, boys and girls.
:29:43
The headline will read:
"If Jonathan is fired, Hollywood flies."
:29:47
Excuse me while I step out
onto the window ledge.
:29:50
No!
:29:54
Come on.
:29:59
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
:30:01
-I do get carried away sometimes.
-No, not you.
:30:04
That Richards, he gives men a bad name!
:30:06
No! Mr. Richards
said he was gonna fix everything for me.
:30:10
What arrogance!
:30:11
That worm of a stock boy has created
an affront to the dignity of this store.
:30:15
I'll have it taken down immediately...
:30:16
...and make sure that lunatic
never works in this town again.
:30:20
What say,
shall we move on to the sale to Illustra?
:30:22
Just a minute, Mr. Richards.
I believe we're onto something here.
:30:26
Maybe people will come to see
our bold, new window displays.
:30:30
If they come to look, they'll stay to buy.
:30:32
With all due respect,
Mrs. Timkin, it's a little late for that.
:30:35
And we do have the firm offer from Illustra.
:30:37
For one tenth the value of the store!
:30:40
Besides, I can't bear the thought
of selling this place...
:30:43
...especially to that awful B.J. Wert.
:30:45
We know how much
the store means to you, ma'am...
:30:48
...but, 10 percent is better than bankruptcy.
:30:51
I think Mrs. Timkin is right.
I move we postpone the sale for six weeks.
:30:56
I second the motion.
:30:58
All in favor?
