Election Night Tensions Among Shareholders
Bea Sullivan:
Oh! I've been looking for you. Anytime you're ready. You okay?
Andre Jorgensen:
Yeah. Just going over in my mind what I want to say.
Bea Sullivan:
Look at these people outside! I think every shareholder within driving distance is coming! I feel as if we're Harry and Bess on election night!
Andrew Jorgensen:
Harry Truman was a better man than me. He slept on election night. I haven't slept in days.
Bea Sullivan:
Talk to me. Tell me.
Andrew Jorgensen:
I'm scared. I'm scared that time has passed us by. I'm scared I don't know this new environment. I'm scared that what I do know doesn't count for anything anymore. Things have changed. Whatever happened to people serving each other? I don't want this man to win.
Bea Sullivan: [[Harry S. Truman|Go give 'em hell, Harry]
I'm not scared. I'm just proud. I'm proud of the business we've built. I'm so proud of you. And if what we are counts for nothing anymore, then, that's their failing, not ours. We'll be all right. Just go out and tell the truth. ].
