Sadie Shelton : The most fiscally prudent action at this point is to take an aggressive posture and divest ourselves of Hollow-o-Made. It's a little backwards furniture factory. They actually still make porch rockers. Now, the opportunities for expansion are virtually nil and the buyer has offered us a most attractive price. So, you can see gentlemen, that were we to liquidate Hollow-o-Made; the return on our investment would; in fact, be... quadrupled.
Rose Shelton : Well, the liquidation. I mean aren't there other considerations? May I make a point? I'm sitting, listening here and what I'm feeling... ah... deeply inside. I... I mean what, what it is, I. Things are just not computing exactly right. I mean I'm sorry.
Sadie Shelton : Gentlemen, help yourself to danish.

Sadie Ratliff : Isn't it exciting?
Rose Ratliff : Oh yeah, the noise, the smog, the crowds, the muggers, sex fiends, white slavers, politicians, it's a pistol. I got about as much use for it as a toad has for spit curls!
