The Hudsucker Proxy1994

[Norville is showing the board his new invention:
the hula-hoop]

Norville Barnes:
You know, for kids! It has economy, simplicity, low production cost and the potential for mass appeal, and all that spells out great profitability! I had the boys down at R & D throw together this prototype so that our discussion here could have some focus and to give you gentlemen of the Board a first-hand look at just how exciting this gizmo is! Its fun, it's healthy, it's good exercise; kids'll just love it, and we put a little sand inside to make the experience more pleasant. But the great part is we won't have to charge an arm and a leg!

Board Member 1:
What if you tire before it's done?

Board Member 2:
Does it have rules?

Board Member 3:
Can more than one play?

Board Member 4:
What makes you think it's a game?

Board Member 3:
Is it a game?

Board Member 5:
Will it break?

Board Member 6:
It better break eventually!

Board Member 2:
Is there an object?

Board Member 1:
What if you tire before it's done?

Board Member 5:
Does it come with batteries?

Board Member 4:
We could charge extra for them.

Board Member 7:
Is it safe for toddlers?

Board Member 3:
How can you tell when you're finished?

Board Member 2:
How do you make it stop?

Board Member 6:
Is that a boy's model?

Board Member 3:
Can a parent assemble it?

Board Member 5:
Is there a larger model for the obese?

Board Member 1:
What if you tire before it's done?

Board Member 8:
What the hell is it?

Norville Barnes:
Well, it's, uh... it's uh...

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Brilliant! It's genius. It's just exactly what Hudsucker needs at this juncture. Sure, sure, even a blind man could tell you that there's an enormous demand for this, uh... Congratulations, kid, you've really outdone yourself; you've reinvented the wheel. I'm going to recommend to the Board that we proceed immediately with this, uh... with the, uh... that the dingus be mass-produced with all deliberate speed. All though you realize, of course, as president of the company the ultimate decision is yours.

Norville Barnes:
Well, I'm for it!
