Fun with Dick and Jane Page #2

- Washington.

These are your talking points.

They were just faxed over.

And Sam is on the line for you.

Hello, Mr, Harper,

Hey, Sam. How you doing?

Nice talking to you.

I thought you were gonna be here.

- Me too, I hear it's beautiful there,

- That's the thing--

- Okay, Dick, we're on in five,

- Yep, sure.

- -three, two....

Today we're talking with the new VP

of Communications at Globodyne...

... Dick Harper,

How you doing, Dick?

Just terrific, Sam.

Thank you for asking.

And so is Globodyne, by the way.

Now, Dick, tell me,

what is the shareholder to make...

...of the fact that Jack McAllister,

your CEO...

...has unloaded a considerable share

of his stocks?

I think CEOs sell their stocks

for many reasons, Sam.

Both professional and personal.

Actually, over the past year, Jack

McAllister has sold 80 percent...

...of his holdings

through shell companies,

Now, how do you explain that?

The reasons for doing something

like that would be--

Losing you there. Hold on.

The reasons for doing something

like that would be.... Could be many.

Both....

There's also talk of some of

the Globodyne portfolio documents...

... being subpoenaed,

Specifically those of your CFO,

Frank Bascombe,

Now, joining us with his insights,

is presidential hopeful Ralph Nader,

Really?

Hi, Ralph. Big fan, love your stuff.

I wish I could say the same,

I don't know how you sleep at night,

Corporations like Globodyne

pervert the American dream,

The super-rich get richer,

You are a disgrace,

Ralph, I don't know where

you're getting your statistics.

I can only say that, in my estimation,

Globodyne is transparent.

We'd be more than willing

to share any and all documentation.

What is going on?

Can somebody tell me

what the heck is--?

Hey, there's a fi-- Somebody should--

Okay.

This can't be good.

Out of my way!

- Hey, that's my ficus!

- My ficus!

You're not even from this floor!

Help! Security!

What's going on?

Oh, so Dick finally wants to know

what's going on.

Frank?

Methinks somebody made

a boo-boo.

Maybe we didn't know how to

use Quicken. Yeah, that could be it.

Frank. Frank. Try to focus. Okay?

What's happening to Globodyne?

- Globodyne?

- Yeah, what happened, Frank?

- We took our shifting losses...

- Yeah?

- ... and we put them into businesses...

- Yeah, yeah?

...that we actually owned.

And then the balance sheet...

...it showed profit.

But actually, there was...

...debt.

What the hell? !

You're sick.

- I want you to hit me.

- Frank, let go of me now.

- I want you to hit me.

- Let go, you're scaring me.

- Hit me.

- Frank! Get off!

And I have the 6000 greatest

partners a man could ask for,

Mr. McAllister?
