[entering the conference room; people gathered at the table rise to greet him]
Sit down, gentlemen, sit down. I resent this, I resent this deeply. There are 2 billion, 81 million, 376 thousand seconds in the average man's life, each tick of the clock a beat of the heart.

Seymour Roberts:
[rises to speak, a bit nervous]
Ahem, well, uh, I suggest that, uh, we offer prizes for the best letters from subscribers on, uh, how to preserve world peace. A thousand dollars each week, and a grand prize of $25,000 to be awarded to the...
Earl Janoth:
[looking at his watch, impatiently cutting him off]
General theory of the publishing business, Roberts, is to sell magazines, not to pay people to read them.
