(scene: Ford Executive boardroom)
(Ford CEO Alan Mulally and former Ford CEO Bill Ford are sitting across from each other)
Alan Mulally: No. I'm not going to do this.
Bill Ford: Come on. We made a deal. It's an idea whose time has come.
Mulally: First of all, we did not make a deal. And, second, it's a bad idea.
Ford: Oh yeah? Who did I make a deal with then?
Mulally: I reviewed the security tapes, Bill. You were talking to a sandwich.
Ford: Yeah, but that sucker was 6-feet of hammy goodness.
Mulally: It looked tasty. Where did you put the rest of it?
Ford: (crickets)
Mulally: (sighs)
Ford: Anyway, the idea is good.
Mulally: We're not taking the most recognizable name of FoMoCo and changing it.
Ford: Of what?
Mulally: FoMoCo
Ford: Yeah, not following.
Mulally: For...
Ford (interrupting) : Man, I hate those guys.
Mulally: You hate For...
Ford (interrupting): Yeah. Hate. That dumb company makes those little things with the swirl (begins moving all around the room with wild hand gestures).
Mulally: Hostess?
Ford: Yes! Hate!
Mulally (thinking: man, that doesn't even start with For... man, I could go for one of them cupcakes now): I've got an idea, Bill.
Ford: I'm way ahead of you, Adam.
Mulally: Alan
Ford: No, Bill.
Mulally: No, mine name is Adam.
Ford: No, it's Alan.
Mulally: Dammit. Anyway...
Ford: Hostess day-old store?
Mulally: Boy howdy!
Ford: Great, we'll take my Jeep.
Mulally: No, we'll take my new Mustang.
Ford: Speaking of which...
Mulally: OK, we'll do 1/2 your idea.
