The Once and Future C&F - Building an Empire
Forster: Don’t you want more than that? Hutchins is doing better than any of us imagined – but he is still a young man – whose family is a major shareholder and influential with the board. He’s not going anywhere. We could have the best title: Owner. And this way we don’t have to raise money to capitalize an insurance company. Crum: You make a good point. What would we call it? Forster: I’m thinking Forster & Crum. Crum: Really? Forster: How about Crum & Forster?
Crum: That has a nice ring to it. Ackerman: What about me? Forster: Too many letters.
Ackerman: Oh, man! By the way, what’s up with this salad – it’s all celery. We should have gone to Delmonico’s. Crum: Just pick it out if you don’t like it. Forster: I don’t know. I kind of like this salad dressing – what do they call it? Mayonnaise.
