[Norville is sleeping at his desk]

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Say, Buddy... Ya busy?

Norville Barnes:
[wakes up] Huh-whuh?

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Looks like ya nodded off there! Say, buddy, ya got a minute?

Norville Barnes:
Buzz... Is it important?

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
I like to think so! It's this little idea I been working on. Ya see, I don't intend to be an elevator boy forever. Take a look at this sweet baby! [shows Norville a drawing of a circle] Ya get it, buddy? Incredibly convenient, isn't it? You know, for drinks. [shows Norville a straw] This is how it works, it's these little ridges on the side that give it its whammy! See, ya don't have to drink like this nomore; now you can drink like this. [bends staw] I call it the Buzz-Sucker, get it, buddy? After me! Why, people are just dyin' for a product like this, and the great thing is we won't have to charge an arm and a --

Norville Barnes:
Wait a minute! [He looks at it like when Mussburger first looked at his own invention] This is worthless.

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Huh?! But, buddy --

Norville Barnes:
This is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen in my life!

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Yeah, but, buddy --

Norville Barnes:
Nobody wants a hare-brained product like this! Ya see, Buzz, it lacks the creative spark, the unalloyed genius that made, say, the hula hoop such a success.

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
But, buddy --

Norville Barnes:
What do you mean barging in here and taking up my valuable time! I've got a company to run here!

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
[laughs] But, buddy, you were --

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
I can't have every deadbeat on the Hudsucker payroll pestering me with their idiotic brainwaves!

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Geez, buddy, I'm sorry.

Norville Barnes:
An example must be made!

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Wuddya mean, buddy?

Norville Barnes:
You're fired! Is that plain enough for you, buster!

[Buzz begins to bawl and grabs Norville's legs]

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Awwww, buddy --

Norville Barnes:
And don't call me buddy! Out of here!

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
Aw, please, sir! This job, just running the elevator, it's all I got! I understand if ya don't like the Buzz-Sucker! Just, please, let me keep my job! I'm prayin' to ya!

Norville Barnes:
Get out of my office! Get out! [Buzz crawls away crying] Up! Up on your feet! We don't crawl at Hudsucker Industries! Get out! And leave your uniform in the locker room!

Buzz the Elevator Operator:
I'm sorry, sir... I'm sorry...
