As of today, Oscorp Industries has surpassed Quest Aerospace as the principal supplier to the United States military. In short, ladies and gentlemen of the Board, costs are down, revenues are up, and our stock has never been higher.
Wonderful news, Norman. Wonderful. In fact, it's the reason for selling the company.
[stunned]
What?
Yes, Quest Aerospace is recapitalizing in the wake of the bombing; expanding. They made a tender offer we can't ignore.
Why wasn't I told?
The last thing they want is a power struggle with entrenched management.
The deal is off if you come with it. The Board expects your resignation in thirty days.
Oh, you can't do this to me... I-I started this company! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?! [turns to Max Vargas] Oh, Max, please.
Norman, the Board is unanimous. We're announcing the sale after the World Unity Festival. I'm sorry.
You're out, Norman.
[Defeated at first, Norman smirks as he gets an idea]
Am I?
