:46:03
You picked a bad time. I was counting
on those figures from Ron.
:46:06
- Christy Wills. How do you do?
- Good.
:46:09
Terrible news.
Just awful!
:46:12
Conference room, everybody.
Come on. On the double.
:46:17
- You don't eat lunch. Do you eat dinner?
- Occasionally.
:46:20
- Tonight?
- Booked.
:46:21
- Tomorrow night?
- Booked.
:46:24
All right, but don't beg, okay?
It's embarrassing.
:46:32
Who are you?
:46:36
Carlton Whitfield.
New employee.
:46:41
I didn't get a memo
on that.
:46:43
You will.
:46:45
All right.
As long as I get the memo.
:46:52
The absolute worst has happened.
We are the target of a corporate raid.
:46:57
Donald Davenport has filed a 13-D.
:47:00
A 13-D?
:47:02
He's acquired five percent
of the stock...
:47:04
and this is definitely the beginning of
a hostile takeover of our corporation.
:47:09
I think we all know what happened the
last time Davenport took over a company.
:47:12
Everyone was canned!
:47:15
Mr. Prescott has sent down word
of what he wants us to do.
:47:18
We are to recommend cuts
in every department.
:47:21
Our job is to slash the red ink
in every nook and cranny...
:47:26
because our company needs
the cash for its defense.
:47:32
Anybody wanna fire
the first shot?
:47:36
Kill Toledo.
:47:40
If we close down
our distribution centers...
:47:42
in Toledo, Joplin, Jacksonville...
:47:44
we'll slash the red ink
completely off the books.
:47:49
Whitfield, you don't have to
raise your hand. Just speak.
:47:52
Thank you.
:47:53
Well, I know I'm new here
and everything.
:47:57
On the surface, these cuts
seem like a good idea...
:47:59
"Seem like a good idea"?
