About Schmidt
(0.00 / 0 votes)WeII, for my part,
I wouId just Iike to say...
that as the new guy
taking over for you...
I hope
I can fiII your shoes...
because from the Iooks
of the peopIe here...
and what they think about you,
they seem awfuIIy big.
As most of you know,
I just moved here recentIy...
from Des Moines
with my wife Patty here...
and KimberIy our 14-month-oId...
and you aII have made us
feeI so weIcome.
Warren, I want you to feeI
just as weIcome...
to drop by the office
any time you want.
As we've been discussing
the Iast coupIe of weeks...
I might have some questions
about our various products...
Iike the universaI Iife poIicy
we're Iaunching next month.
And...
Anyway, here's to you, Warren.
Warren...
how do you feeI about these
Seems Iike
some kind of conspiracy to me.
probabIy Ionger than
most of you have been aIive.
Warren and I go way back...
way back...
at Woodmen.
But that's ancient history.
I know something
about retirement...
and what I want to say
to you out Ioud, Warren...
so aII these
young hotshots can hear...
is that aII those gifts
over there...
don't mean a goddamn thing.
And this dinner doesn't mean
a goddamn thing.
And the SociaI Security
and pension...
don't mean a goddamn thing.
None of these superficiaIities
mean a goddamn thing.
What means something...
Warren...
is the knowIedge
that you devoted your Iife...
to something meaningfuI...
to being productive
and working for a fine company--
HeII, one of the top-rated
insurance carriers...
in the nation...
to raising a fine famiIy,
buiIding a fine home...
being respected
by your community...
to having wonderfuI,
Iasting friendships.
At the end of his career...
if a man can Iook back and say,
''I did it. I did my job.''
then he can retire in gIory
and enjoy riches...
So, aII of you
young peopIe here...
take a good Iook
at a very rich man.
I Iove you, buddy.
I'II be right back.
Good evening.
-Vodka gimIet, pIease.
-Coming right up.
HeIIo?
Hi, honey.

Just a minute.
Warren. Get on the phone.
It's Jeannie.
Jeannie? How you doing?
It went just fine.
Nice event.
I know, but don't give it
another thought.
You've got bigger fish to fry.
I know, but we'II see you

personaIIy?

Why not?

He didn't come to the phone.
You shouId have asked for him.
Make an effort.
He'II be your son-in-Iaw,
and you hardIy know him.

I wish you'd try to be
more positive.
