Executive Suite Page #4

Attaboy, Don, give it to him.

Give me the checkpoints

on the time-temperature curve.

- So, what happened?

- What happened?

It took me four to get out of the rough,

and two more to get on the green.

You lost the 300, huh?

Yes, but I got his French Provincial order

for the whole year.

Twenty-eight stores,

135,000 bucks on the line.

That bet convinced Milton Overfelder

that I was the one guy in St. Louis

he beat that week who was really trying.

- Right.

- Were you?

Next time you play

Fresh Meadows in St. Louis,

let me see you hook a brassie shot

in back of that tree.

Bill, those RF temperatures

have to be uniform

over the entire surface, you know that.

- Walt, Jesse, Fred.

- Hello.

Do you know

what this meeting is all about?

All right, give me the figures again.

Didn't Fred tell you?

Well, I'm sorry, Fred.

I assumed Mr. Bullard spoke to you.

I don't know. See that the lines are

balanced. You know it's something.

- Everything going all right, Don?

- Everything's going fine.

Shall I start tearing up

my material reJection charts right now?

You can start to reexamine them.

How about that, Jesse?

What's production got to say about that?

All I'm thinking about right now

is a mess of soft-shelled crabs

fresh out of Chesapeake Bay.

We're rooting for you, Don.

I hope this thing doesn't string out.

I got a 7:
00 date with a DC-6,

and I'd sure hate to stand her up.

Taking Mrs. Dudley along, Walt?

Not this time. I'll be too busy romancing

the chain and mail-order boys.

You're ready for some pressure

on prices, of course.

Dealer stocks are up again.

I assume you've figured

how far you can cut.

Well, no, I thought

I'd work that out on the plane.

Like this?

You'll find a volume and price chart there

for each maJor item.

Where the curves intersect,

that's your relative net profit.

Maybe you ought to go to Chicago

and try pushing the K-F line, Shaw.

See how far you get with the boys

with your kind of intersecting curves.

Mr. Bullard must've missed the 5:49.

Eddie Just called from the station.

He'll wait for the 6:10.

Well, I'm sure none of us minds waiting,

Miss Martin.

Oh, Mr. Alderson,

may I see you for a moment, please?

Pike Street, please.

Julia Tredway is here.

- Where is she?

- In Mr. Bullard's office.

She insisted on waiting.

Better let me know

when Mr. Bullard's on the way up.

Yes, sir.

Julia.

Nice to see you.

Miss Martin says he hasn't come back yet.

That's right.

I know I shouldn't be here.

Mr. Bullard doesn't like it.

I... I had to talk to him, Mr. Alderson.

- Perhaps I can help you.

- Well, it's rather important.

I do think it best

if I discuss it with Mr. Bullard.
