A scene from The Hudsucker Proxy 1994
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.
