Duchess: We are near the landing site. Prepare for descent.

Womble: Yes, Duchess.

Announcer: And so, without further ado...

Duchess: Good afternoon, shareholders. It is my pleasure to address you all today.

Duchess: As you probably know., it has been ten years since my father left the corporation in my control.

Duchess: In that time, we have seen many successes, and many failures. Most of all, we have learned a lot.

Duchess: Now, please, please, please don't get mad, but I spent all the money on an ice cream party.

Duchess: Unfortunately, nobody else showed up for it 'cause I forgot to send out invitations, but it was lots of fun.

Duchess: So in summary, all your stock is now worthless.

[[The Duchess waves and the Womble drops its wig as the hot-air balloon lifts off.]]

Womble: Begging your pardon, Duchess, but who were those people?

Duchess: Heck if I know.
