Hudsucker Proxy1994

Sidney J. Mussburger:
What am I, a head shriker. Maybe the man was unhappy?

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Sure, sure he was a swell fella, but when the president, chairman of the board and owner of 87% of the company stock drops 44 floors...

Sidney J. Mussburger:
...then the company too has a problem. What exactly is the disposition of Waring's stock.

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Meaning?

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Do you mean to say any slob in a smelly tee-shirt will be able to buy Hudsucker stock?

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Quit showboating Addison, the man is gone. The question now is whether we're going to let John Q Public just waltz in here and buy our company.

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Not while the stock is this strong. How soon before Hud's paper hits the market?

Sidney J. Mussburger:
One month; to make the blue chip investment of the century look like a round trip ticket on the titanic.

Sidney J. Mussburger:
It could work.

Sidney J. Mussburger:
It's working already. Waring Hudsucker is abstract art on Madison Avenue. What we need now is a new president who will inspire panic in the stockholder.

Sidney J. Mussburger:
Sure, sure. Some jerk we can really push around.
