:42:03
into the medium control
positions here at Pemrose.
:42:09
Naturally.
:42:11
What we're concerned about, frankly,
is the upper management positions.
:42:17
- Most of 'em will have to go.
- Oh, no.
:42:22
I see.
:42:26
But a handful of 'em...
:42:30
who have been so helpful...
:42:33
like yourselves,
of course...
:42:36
will be stayin'
as long as you like.
:42:40
Well, then I see nothing
to stand in the way...
:42:42
of the immediate merger
of our two companies.
:42:44
Is this the place? It is!
Hey, good. Sorry we're late.
:42:47
- Get them out of here.
- I'm sorry. This is a private meeting.
:42:51
- I have to ask you to leave.
- Hold these, will you? Thanks a lot.
:42:57
- Call building security.
- Howard, relax. Listen.
:43:00
On behalf of the personnel
in the mail room...
:43:02
the girls in the secretarial pool,
the female executives here at Pemrose...
:43:05
we wanted to give our blessing
to this little merger.
:43:07
- Who in hell are these people?
- Is that Don? Donny!
:43:11
How ya doin'? You mind if I stand up?
I think better when I'm movin' around.
:43:15
Gotta tell you, Don.
:43:17
At first, the idea of this merger
made me as nervous...
:43:19
as a long-tailed cat
in a room full of rocking chairs.
:43:22
But then I realized
I was wrong.
:43:24
The combination of our products
and your distribution capabilities...
:43:27
could vault Pemrose right
to the top of the market.
:43:31
So glad you approve...
:43:34
whoever you are.
:43:35
Now if you get the hell out of here,
we'll finish the job.
:43:38
I can't do that for you, Don.
:43:41
See, the problem here
is management.
:43:44
Things were bad enough when
Howard was running the company.
:43:46
- Now we got you to deal with too.
- Get them out of here, now.
:43:50
He can't, Don. You see,
Brantley made arrangements...
:43:53
to buy five percent of the stock...
:43:55
in your company,
Davenport Enterprises, this morning.
:43:59
- We're buying you out.
- What?
