Justin Zaremby: Reginald

Quotes 

• School Teacher : [In the typical deep slow voice acting of Ben Stein, and with an exaggerated emotionless monotone to indicate what an arrogant stuffed-shirt he is]  Let's move on to case study #12: Your company is in dire straits. Sales are down 50% due to stiff price competition. Dividends are falling. Stockholders are demanding that you step down as chairman of the board. Now, here's your problem: How do you rally the board of directors to your side AND stave off impending bankruptcy...? Reynolds?

  Reynolds : [who has been reading a newspaper]  I'll have my secretary get back to you on that one.

  School Teacher : See me after class, Reynolds. Ellsworth, how would you get the board on your side?

  Ellsworth : [who has been playing miniature golf]  Bribe someone.

  School Teacher : [sighs]  Sit down, Ellsworth. Reginald, what would you do?

  Reginald : [who is being fitted by a tailor]  What would I do? Simple. I'd float a rumor that we're the object of a takeover bid. And as soon as our stock went up, I'd sell.

  School Teacher : That's not only unethical, Reginald, it's il-LEEG-al.

  Reginald : [carelessly]  I'm only 12. I can't be held legally responsible.

  School Teacher : Hmm, good point.

• Reginald : [to the valet at private school]  This is a cappuccino. I asked for a DECAF CAFFE LATTE, you incompetent imbecile!

• School Teacher : Let's move on to case study number twelve. Your company is in dire straits. Sales are down fifty percent due to stiff price competition. Dividends are falling. Your stockholders are demanding you step down as chairman of the board. Now, here's your problem: How do you rally the board of directors to your side AND stave off impending bankruptcy? Reynolds?

  Reynolds : [looks up from reading his newspaper]  I'll have my secretary get back to you on that one.

  [Richie rolls his eyes] 

  School Teacher : [wincing in suppressed indignity]  See me after class, Reynolds. Ellsworth, how would you get the board on your side?

  Ellsworth : [putts on a mini golf set]  Bribe someone.

  School Teacher : [valiantly clinging to his composure at the absurdity of the boy's reply]  **Sit** **down**, Ellsworth.

  [Ellsworth sits] 

  School Teacher : Reginald, what would you do?

  Reginald : What would I do? Simple.

  [Richie is sketching a funny picture of the teacher in derision for his "stuffed penguin" appearance and attitude] 

  Reginald : I'd float a rumor that we're the object of a takeover bid, and as soon as our stock went up, I'd sell.

  [Richie slips the picture into his fax machine] 

  School Teacher : [reproachfully]  That's not only unethical, Reginald, it's illegal.

  Reginald : I'm only twelve. I can't be held legally responsible.

  School Teacher : Hmm, good point.

  [Cuthbert receives the caricature-drawing of the teacher and chuckles; the teacher turns, folds his arms and approaches Richie] 

  School Teacher : Rich, are you and Cuthbert passing notes again?

  Richie Rich : [valiantly trying to not to laugh]  Um, no, sir.

  School Teacher : Cuthbert?

  [Cuthbert drops the picture through the shredder; Reynolds and Ellsworth giggle; the teacher frowns and rolls his eyes after Richie smiles in sarcastic sunny innocence]
