:43:00
Before Vince McCain.
:43:02
He is right at the bottom
ofthe food chain, isn't he?
:43:05
I fail to see how
you can criticize him.
:43:10
What?
:43:12
He's bringing
the crowds in, isn't he?
:43:14
In order to raise the revenue
to the 20% profit margin...
:43:16
thatyou yourselfwere advocating
so vociferously less than a month ago--
:43:20
No, that's not what I was saying.
:43:22
- Yes, you were.
- No, I wasn't.
:43:24
- Yes, you were!
- No, I wasn't.
:43:26
What was the point
ofraising it to 20%--
:43:28
All right, insect breath.
You reallywant to know what I think?
:43:31
- Yes.
- Right. I'll tell you.
:43:34
I think the whole
Octopus philosophy is poison.
:43:39
The only aim ofany and every
McCain business...
:43:43
is to downsize
and halve the quality...
:43:46
to make enough money to acquire
another business to downsize...
:43:50
and halve the quality
to make enough money...
:43:52
to acquire another business to downsize,
et cetera, et cetera...
:43:54
without ever running
a single one ofthem reallywell.
:43:58
And ifanyone ever
raises the question ofquality...
:44:00
they're immediately attacked
as an elitist...
:44:02
because at Octopus it's considered
morally offensive...
:44:05
to talk about anything but money.
:44:07
All so that Mr. Rod McCain can feel
a little more powerful every day.
:44:12
That's why, instead ofrunning...
:44:15
this wonderful zoo properly...
:44:17
we have to spoil it...
:44:19
in order to finance
his next mindless acquisition.
:44:28
On the other hand,
he is a remarkable man--
:44:30
- Tea time!
- Halfpast 8:00. We should be going.
:44:33
I haven't finished! I haven't finished!
:44:36
He is a true visionary of--
Hello.
:44:40
- I wasjust--
- Trashing Octopus. I know.
:44:43
It didn't really sound
like that, did it?
:44:46
Why doyou work for us, Rollo?
:44:51
Cowardice?
:44:55
We all have to live in the real world,
or this place is gonna close...
:44:58
but I just wantyou all to know I intend
to run this one business reallywell.
