...are likely to lose their jobs.
1:16:05
Wait a minute. I'm a Blake employee.
1:16:08
Holy shit! This sucks.
1:16:11
Ladies and gentlemen,
the bottom line is that this divestiture...
1:16:15
...will result in every shareholder,
all of you and myself included...
1:16:20
...getting a substantial premium for our shares.
1:16:25
But before we vote, the company bylaws
require me to open the floor...
1:16:28
...to shareholders for statements
either for or against this buyout plan.
1:16:32
Does anyone wish to make a statement?
1:16:35
Dismantling this company
would be an insult to a great man.
1:16:39
You scared me.
1:16:41
It is an unspeakable outrage
and it cannot be allowed to happen.
1:16:48
Excuse me. I got a statement.
1:16:53
Longfellow Deeds.
1:16:55
Unfortunately, since you sold me
your 300 million shares...
1:16:58
-...you've no right to speak at this meeting.
-Unfortunately for you...
1:17:01
...I bought one share of Blake Media
this morning.
1:17:04
You told me every stockholder
has a say in this company.
1:17:07
Even the little guy.
1:17:10
You have two minutes, but remember,
I control 49 percent of this company.
1:17:15
You're gonna have to persuade
just about everyone else...
1:17:18
...to start hating money.
1:17:27
Hello, everybody. I'm Deeds.
1:17:30
For a little while, I was a big part of this company.
1:17:33
I was wicked rich and powerful.
1:17:36
Now being rich and powerful isn't a bad thing.
1:17:40
It looks like the Monopoly guy over there
is pretty darned psyched about it.
1:17:44
But the problem is
what can happen when you decide...
1:17:47
...that you would do absolutely anything
to become rich and powerful.
1:17:52
I don't know who licked the red off
your lollipop today...
1:17:55
...but you are preaching to the wrong choir.
1:17:57
All I'm saying is, when you were kids...
1:17:59
...did you dream
about becoming a savvy investor one day...
