Well, frankly, l....

You have a very charming wife, Mr.... Sid.

So they tell me.

Let me shepherd you through some of the introductions here.

Try not to talk too much.

Some of our biggest stockholders are....

Scratch that. Say whatever you like.

Shake hands with Sears Braithwaite of Bullard.

Glad to know you, Barnes.

This is Zebulon Cardozo...

...one of Hudsucker's largest and most loyal stockholders.

What's this l hear about you being an imbecile?

What's ailing you, boy?

Last week, my stock was worth twice what it is now. l think l'll sell...

...the whole kit and caboodle, boy, unless l see a vast improvement.

What you've got here, son, is a range war!

You gonna have to circle our wagons or l'm gonna get out of your wagon train.

No need for concern, sir. lt's only natural...

...in a period of transition for the more timid elements to run for cover.

Yellow? l'll show you yellow, boy!

You mind now and quit acting like such an old grizzly.

Step lively here, Norville.

l'm sorry, l thought maybe if l showed him the long view--

And this is Thorstensen Finlandson...

...who heads a radical, splinter group of disgruntled investors.

Pleased to meet you.

lt might interest you to know l studied a little Finnish in high school.

l hope l'm not too rusty.
