Speaker 1 (03:34):
Gentlemen of the Board of Directors. I am humbly grateful.
What if, high honor, you have this st on me.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
When I first came to this wonderful organization as a
seeker after employment.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
I said to myself, my Honor, I.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Could ever hope to attain.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
It's a big, a hard working member of that great,
happy family. All that that is how I think of
this great organization of which.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I am Now. I'm very happy to be the president.
A time to kill, No, Mariland is no way out.
I've tried so high, and I know I give you
credit for that, Maryland, but it won't work. So I'm
(04:26):
not being tough about it, my dear, but it just
has to happen this way. When did you stop loving me? Fine,
my dear, don't ask such silly questions. Tell me when
I said, don't be silly. Please, don't be dramatic, My dear,
I've given you, I know, the best jeeves of your life. Really,
I loved you so very much. I wasn't I mean,
(04:48):
you shouldn't have left me, Maryland. I know I'm that
the glamorous type, and I know, well it's all over now, Maryland,
all perfect.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I've been over all that before, my dear, not if
you don't mind, when did you stop.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Loving if I told you not to ask that? Please?
I got a new dress. A new dress isn't enough.
I'm sorry, Maryland. I've got to remember my position. I
loved you. I'm sorry. Now, let's not get emotional, shall
we please? For my sake? When did you stop loving?
Speaker 6 (05:24):

Speaker 6 (05:25):
If you must know, Maryland, I never loved you at all.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
A time to kill and the time to heal.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, it's only tax money.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I pay Maryland a very substantial sell of money each month.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I don't know what else she needs to be for having.
I think I've been very generous with Marylynd. She has
the house, the money. What more does she want. Let's
not worry about Maryland. She's all right.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I'm time to break down.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Me to do.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't care what you do, Edgar. It makes no
difference at all to me.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
I've got to get out.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No, you don't really have to get out, Edgar. You
still have some stock in the business.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
I've said some, but you have most certainly I have
most of it, Edgar, Certainly I have. When you made
me president of the company, I made up my mind
that by hook by crook, I was going to get
a controlling.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Interest in the company. Now I have it. That's all.
I founded this company forty.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Five years ago, and you can have a job with
it as long as you live, Edgar, that I promise you.
Speaker 9 (06:40):

You said you'd start at the bottom and work your
way up. That I did that. You said your industry.

Speaker 9 (06:48):
I'm honest and conscientious. And today you sit in my
chair in my office and you tell me that they'll
always be a job for me in my own company.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Then that I mean, Edgar, There'll be a up for
you in this company just as long as you live.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Time to break down and the time to build up.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
Where No, mister Tedwell, I don't have a controlling interest
in the business anymore. No, yes, yes, or I look
on the company of today with some pride, of course,
but it isn't like the old age when I would
I beg your pardon. Oh yes, yes, we'll branchet all
over the world now under the new management, we've expanded amazingly. Yes, indeed,
(07:34):
I'd be very glad to see you. But I think
that you should see the chairman of our board of directors.
He's a very remarkable man and he's personally responsible for
the expansion of the company. No, no, no, no, I
haven't retired. I'm still with the company, but I said
I don't have a controlling interest anymore.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
I thought you were an old manager, but I remember
now you were only a few years older than I am.
And I suppose the business has been going better and
better while I've been behind the high walls. And I
suppose that's why you look so much happier and so
much younger. Or maybe it's onny, because I've been so
unhappy and because I've been growing older so fast, so
fast behind the high stone walls.
Speaker 1 (22:52):

Pierre is so fine and so fresh, and I'm so happy, Edgar,

don't you go away from here and try to start
all over again without Julia? Without Julia. No, no, I
(23:54):

Which is planning.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Gentlemen of the Board of Directors. I am humbly grateful.
What if, high honor, you have this st on me.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
When I first came to this wonderful organization as a
seeker after employment.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
I said to myself, my Honor, I.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Could ever hope to attain.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
It's a big, a hard working member of that great,
happy family. All that that is how I think of
this great organization of which.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I am Now. I'm very happy to be the president.
A time to kill, No, Mariland is no way out.
I've tried so high, and I know I give you
credit for that, Maryland, but it won't work. So I'm
(04:26):
not being tough about it, my dear, but it just
has to happen this way. When did you stop loving me? Fine,
my dear, don't ask such silly questions. Tell me when
I said, don't be silly. Please, don't be dramatic, My dear,
I've given you, I know, the best jeeves of your life. Really,
I loved you so very much. I wasn't I mean,
(04:48):
you shouldn't have left me, Maryland. I know I'm that
the glamorous type, and I know, well it's all over now, Maryland,
all perfect.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I've been over all that before, my dear, not if
you don't mind, when did you stop.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Loving if I told you not to ask that? Please?
I got a new dress. A new dress isn't enough.
I'm sorry, Maryland. I've got to remember my position. I
loved you. I'm sorry. Now, let's not get emotional, shall
we please? For my sake? When did you stop loving?
Speaker 6 (05:24):

Speaker 6 (05:25):
If you must know, Maryland, I never loved you at all.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
A time to kill and the time to heal.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, it's only tax money.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I pay Maryland a very substantial sell of money each month.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I don't know what else she needs to be for having.
I think I've been very generous with Marylynd. She has
the house, the money. What more does she want. Let's
not worry about Maryland. She's all right.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I'm time to break down.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Me to do.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't care what you do, Edgar. It makes no
difference at all to me.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
I've got to get out.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No, you don't really have to get out, Edgar. You
still have some stock in the business.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
I've said some, but you have most certainly I have
most of it, Edgar, Certainly I have. When you made
me president of the company, I made up my mind
that by hook by crook, I was going to get
a controlling.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Interest in the company. Now I have it. That's all.
I founded this company forty.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Five years ago, and you can have a job with
it as long as you live, Edgar, that I promise you.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
I remember you when you first came to me.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You said you'd start at the bottom and work your
way up. That I did that. You said your industry.
Haven't I been industry.
Speaker 9 (06:48):
I'm honest and conscientious. And today you sit in my
chair in my office and you tell me that they'll
always be a job for me in my own company.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Then that I mean, Edgar, There'll be a up for
you in this company just as long as you live.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Time to break down and the time to build up.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
Where No, mister Tedwell, I don't have a controlling interest
in the business anymore. No, yes, yes, or I look
on the company of today with some pride, of course,
but it isn't like the old age when I would
I beg your pardon. Oh yes, yes, we'll branchet all
over the world now under the new management, we've expanded amazingly. Yes, indeed,
(07:34):
I'd be very glad to see you. But I think
that you should see the chairman of our board of directors.
He's a very remarkable man and he's personally responsible for
the expansion of the company. No, no, no, no, I
haven't retired. I'm still with the company, but I said
I don't have a controlling interest anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:50):

Yes, it's been years since I've seen Maryland, but I
was very fond of her. Deepre deciinated to hear of
her day. Yes, we were separated several years ago, no
matter of been compatibility, I suppose you'd say, but I've
always maintained a high regard for her. I'm very sorry
