Waring Hudsucker
[after singing She'll Be Comin' Around the Mountain]

Love that tune. How ya doin', kid?

Norville Barnes

Mr. Hudsucker?

Waring Hudsucker
[points to his halo]

Hey, how do you like that thing. They're all wearin' up stairs. It's a fad. Anyway, I hear your having some, uh, problems with the board. I guess Sidney's been puttin' the screws to ya, huh, Norman?

Norville Barnes

Norville.

Waring Hudsucker

Yeah, yeah. Well, say what you like about the man's ethics, he's a balls-to-the-wall businessman. Beat ya any way he can. Straight for the jugular. Very effective. Any particular reason you didn't give him my Blue Letter? Jesus, Norman, just a dying man's last words and wishes, no big deal.

Norville Barnes

Mr. Hudsucker, I must of mislaid it --

Waring Hudsucker

It's sittin' in your apron pocket, right where you left it. Imbecile. Failure to deliver a Blue Letter is grounds for dismissal.

Norville Barnes

Oh geez sir...

Waring Hudsucker

Ah, it's New Year's, I'm not gonna add to your woes. I'm just saying. Anyway, you wanna read it? You might learn something. Might keep ya from jumpin' outta anymore windows.

"Blue Letter. From: the desk of Waring Hudsucker. To: Sidney J. Mussburger. Regarding: My demise. Dear Sid. By the time you read this, I will have joined the organization upstairs -- an exciting new beginning. I will retain fond mem-memor...

Waring Hudsucker

Memories.

Norville Barnes

"...of the memories of the many years that you and I have spent.

Waring Hudsucker

Yeah, yeah, it's the standard resignation boilerplate. Go down to the second paragraph.

Norville

You have no dought been wondering why I have decided to end my tenure at Hudsucker, and here on Earth. Granted, from the standpoint of our balance sheet and financials, sure, sure, we're doing fine. However, Sid, I have made grave errors. My vanity drove away she who could've saved me. Oh yes, I loved a woman once, Sid, as you well know. A beautiful, vibrant lady, an angel who in her wisdom saw fit to choose you instead of I... Mr. Hudsucker?
