I am so sorry.
1:15:33
A company in tatters. Preston Blake's
great legacy gone to the highest bidder.
1:15:37
The shocking announcement from Chuck Cedar
today confirmed that Blake Media...
1:15:41
...will be stripped down
and sold off piece by piece.
1:15:44
The only man who could stand up
to Mr. Cedar and save the company...
1:15:47
...Longfellow Deeds, has apparently
given up his voting rights and left the city.
1:15:52
The sale's expected to pass
with unanimous consent...
1:15:55
...at the annual stockholders' meeting
here in New York tomorrow afternoon.
1:15:59
Sources indicate that virtually
all of Blake's 50,000 employees...
1:16:03
...are likely to lose their jobs.
1:16:05
Wait a minute. I'm a Blake employee.
1:16:08
Holy shit! This sucks.
1:16:11
Ladies and gentlemen,
the bottom line is that this divestiture...
1:16:15
...will result in every shareholder,
all of you and myself included...
1:16:20
...getting a substantial premium for our shares.
1:16:25
But before we vote, the company bylaws
require me to open the floor...
1:16:28
...to shareholders for statements
either for or against this buyout plan.
1:16:32
Does anyone wish to make a statement?
1:16:35
Dismantling this company
would be an insult to a great man.
1:16:39
You scared me.
1:16:41
It is an unspeakable outrage
and it cannot be allowed to happen.
1:16:48
Excuse me. I got a statement.
1:16:53
Longfellow Deeds.
1:16:55
Unfortunately, since you sold me
your 300 million shares...
1:16:58
-...you've no right to speak at this meeting.
-Unfortunately for you...
