In Good Company Page #3

Fun?

l'm sorry. That was, uh...

Um, l'd like to thank everyone

for joining me here.

Teddy K. has an...

has a thing

that what makes GlobeCom great

is the men and women

of GlobeCom.

ls it like a thousand degrees

in here or is it me?

lt's like...

lt's me.

l have an agenda.

And you're gonna learn this

about me. l'm a machine.

What was l saying

about the...

An agenda.

An agenda, l have an agenda.

Which is that l have to

immediately, um,

increase the ad pages here

by 20 percent.

20 percent? Carter, only a

startup magazine can do that.

Yeah, well, l think

this team can do it, Dan.

Um, how?

Well, Morty,

basically what we--

God,

that's an awesome question.

''How?''

And the answer

is synergy.

We need to team up here.

Yeah, we need to synchronize

and we need to synergize.

We're not alone.

We're not alone.

We're part of

one of the biggest multimedia

and brand name companies

in the known universe, okay?

Let's-- let's take advantage

of that, like, uh...

Like...

Krispity Krunch.

Did anyone know that, uh,

one of our sister companies

is Krispity Krunch?

So?

So we talk to our brothers and

sisters over at Krispity Krunch.

We make a deal

where we supply

sports factoids

to their boxes.

So that when Joe Couch Potato

is sitting there,

he's, uh, snacking, he looks

down, and what does he see?

Sports America Krispity

Krunch sports factoids.

He's definitely buying

more Krispity Krunch

and not Krunch 'n Krackle

which, by the way, looks

and tastes exactly the same.

But guess what?

No sports factoids.

And Krispity Krunch is so happy

they guarantee us 28 pages a year.

Besides which,

they know if they don't,

Teddy K. is gonna be pissed.

What is that? What am l

talking about here, people?

Synergy.

lsn't that cheating?

No, no. Hell, no.

And, uh, Techline cell phones.

We own Techline cell phones.

Guess what we put

on their browser?

Factoids.

Yes! Factoids! Synergy!

And what else?

Uh, box scores. And ads!

We make a deal like a

100,000 hits on the lnternet

has the equivalent value of

one ad page of our hard copy.

Are you getting it, people?

The magazine has become

just a portal

to a synergized world

of cross-promotion.

We're gonna bust things

wide open.

We are gonna take things

to the next level.

Who's with me? Who's with me?

Who-- who's psyched?

Lou, are you psyched?

Yeah.

Yeah, l'm psyched.

Okay.

Alicia, are you psyched?

Absolutely.

Better. This guy. l'm sorry,

l don't know your name yet.

Hector.

l'm in maintenance.

That's cool. Hector...

Hector,

l know you're psyched.

l'm psyched!

Yes, Hector's psyched!

And if Hector's psyched,

then you know l'm psyched.

l am psyched for this team.

Now who else is with me?

Who's psyched?

l'm psyched!

Excellent. Who else? Come on.

Who do you think will be

the first to get canned?

My money's on Dan.

He's prehistoric.

Sorry, Dan.

Thanks for joining me

for lunch.

You like sushi?

l'll just stick

with the teriyaki.

You should try some.

The spicy tuna here is money.

Come here. Get that.

Get that.

Yeah, go fishing, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So l wanted to talk to you,

because, uh,

This is raw.

...an increase

in ad pages is...

Well, it's really

only part of the equation

in terms of achieving

the bottom line

my bosses want me to hit.

Understand, Teddy K. is making

cuts across the board here.

ln point of fact,

l have to cut

$300,000 salary from the

sales team immediately.

l don't make

that much money, Carter.

l know how much

you make, Dan.

Well,

l wish you'd told me

that l was fired

before l ate

the goddamn fish.

Oh, Dan! Dan! Dan!

l'm-- l'm not letting you

go here.

You're not?

No.

You are an excellent salesman.

You ran a good team.

l think

that you have the potential

to be an awesome wingman here.

An awesome wingman?

B:

- But, Carter, l definitely see the benefit for you

in having an awesome wingman.

But what is the benefit for

me at this point in my career

of being an awesome wingman?

Well,

one benefit at this point

in your career

is that you get

to keep your job.

That's a pretty good benefit,

don't you think?

Really? Really!

Are you smiling?

You're smiling!

This is funny to you.

Guess what? You have no idea

what a nightmare you're about

to step into, my friend.

A- hole!

We'll see how soon this place goes

down the poop chute without me.

Maybe there is justice

in the world.

You enjoying yourselves?

Great.

/ Untie me,

I've said no vows /

/ The train is getting

way too loud /

Carter is ready for you.

/ I gotta leave here my girl /

/ Get on with my lonely life /

Dan, uh, l'd like you to take a

look at one of these forms for me.

lt's a 360 evaluation.

Mmm-hmm.

lt's basically an evaluation

from every angle.

That's why it's called a 360.

lt's corporate policy.

But it would be great

if l had it by Monday.

lf you really want

to get aggressive,

to penetrate that

core demographic--

l believe that--

Dan, not now.

Sports America is the number one

magazine, boys 13 to 18 in the country.

/ I spent 12 long months

on the lam /

/ That's enough sitting

on the fence /

Hi, leave me a message

or don't.

Hi, it's me.

l mean, you know it's me.

Uh, just filling up the old

mailbox. So give me a call

or don't.

/ And go out of my head /

/ You love a sinking stone /

Here, boy.

/ That'll never elope /

/ So get used to

the lonesome /

Oh, hi, Mrs. Cherneski.

No, l didn't know

he moved out.

Well,

tell him Carter says hi.

Here, boy!

Here, boy!

Hey.

And he is dropped

right on the goal line.

Tackled by Bob Colder,

Leahey held on to the ball...

Hello?

Hey, Dan.

lt's Carter.

Who?

Carter Duryea.

Thought we'd get

the group together tomorrow.

Maybe go over some

business development ideas.

Tomorrow's Sunday.

l know. lt'll be great. We'll

get a great jump on the week.

Not the whole day, just a

couple of hours in the afternoon.

l'll tell you what,

l will see you there at noon.

Uh, l'll bring some sushi.

lt'll be a lot of fun.

Okay? Great.

All right.

/ You love a sinking stone /

/ That'll never elope /

/ So get used to

the lonesome /

/ Girl, you must atone some /

/ Don't leave me

no phone number there //

What are you doing?

What?

Um, nothing.

l was just, uh, seeing stars.

Ever do that?

Yeah, when l was three.

Hey, what are you doing here

on a Sunday?

Sunday is a fun day

to kick some ass.

Absolutely.

Guess what? l have my

whole team coming in today.

Hey, Dan Foreman's here.

You should really meet him.

Yeah, l'd rather not get

personally involved.

Didn't we decide

to let him go?

Uh, no, we let Enrique Colon

go instead. Remember?

Yeah. That's right.

Did a little colon cleansing.

Get it?

Hey, you want to grab

some dinner tonight?

Ooh, wish l could.

l got to fly to Berlin to meet

with some of our satellite guys.

Ha, too bad.

Somethin' wrong?
