Overnight Open Thread
Sidney J. Mussburger: It’s a pity to waste a whole Monte Cristo.
Board Member 1: He could have opened the window.
Board Member 2: Waring Hudsucker never did anything the easy way.
Myron Addison: [crying] Yeah, but why? Why did he do it? Everything was going so well.
Sidney J. Mussburger: What am I, a head shrinker? Maybe the man was unhappy.
Myron Addison: He didn’t look unhappy.
Board Member 4: He didn’t look rich.
Board Member 5: Waring Hudsucker was never an easy man to figure out. He built this company with his bare hands, every step he took was a step up… except of course this last one.
Sidney J. Mussburger: Sure, sure he was a swell fella. But when the president, chairman of the board, and owner of eighty-seven precent of the company stock drops… forty-four floors.
Board Member 6: Forty-five!
Board Member 7: Counting the mezzanine.
