You're late.
I know. Its all my fault.
We'll get started.
Want to know it was?
You and Broadway were
talking too long.
Think I'll be thrown into
the Bastille?
You'll be lucky if not beheaded.
Before I go to the
chopping block...
could you dig up a
slug of whiskey?
Whiskey, in this house?
Doesn't anything change
around this mausoleum?
Yes, bedspreads and underwear.
Thats something.
Regarding the Acme
Lumber Company...
we bought it today.
And this morning its become
I trust that meets
with your approval.
Sure. Naturally.
Naturally, J.L.
For the present, it has
no active head...
until the one vacant chair here...
becomes suitably populated.
If you're referring to me,
you're wasting your time.
Whats that?
The man I marry won't
care for the lumber business.
Don't be impudent.
I'm sorry.
There's no further

Some sort of association with
the racetrack business.
I was broadminded enough
to overlook that.
You and Margaret wanted
to get married and I approved.
I put you at the head of
the Higgins Box Company...
on of the largest and successful
of the Higgins enterprises.
You accepted that
responsibility with enthusiasm...

You were the envy of
Mr. Early and Mr. Winslow.
Your first 2 years were successful.
But this past year the company
has suffered immeasurably.
I attribute it to one cause:
Neglect.
Shameful neglect.
Beginning tomorrow morning,
you will devote yourself...
exclusively to your business.
And get rid of that horse.
See that its done.
I've gone over the books of
the Acme Lumber Company.
Cash on hand and in
banks, $13,672 and 86 cents.
