Passage
In New York City, in the boardroom of the tallest skyscraper, Duke leaned back in the leather chair, hiked up the dirt-crusted bottoms of his blue jeans, and propped his cowboy boots up on the glass conference table. He looked across at BenCorp's CEO, Ralph Jacobs, who wore a suit and tie. Other businesspeople were sitting around the long table.
"Let me tell you something, pardner, this is some kinda setup y'all got here," Duke chuckled.
"Indeed," sniffed Jacobs, barely hiding his contempt. "Let me take this opportunity to express my disappointment with your father's business decision."
"How's that, now?"
"For the duration of your father's medical leave, I should have been promoted to acting president, not you. You have no experience at anything. I do not respect you. Therefore, if I may speak frankly, I will have a very difficult time taking orders from you."
"That a threat?"
"I'm merely expressing my distaste for the current leadership structure of this company," said Jacobs. Duke smiled.
"Go on, then. Git."
"Pardon me?"
"Git. I'm putting you out to pasture. Don't want varmints near the crops." Jacobs stared in disbelief, furious, then rose quickly and stormed out.
"Anybody else want a showdown?" The others avoided eye contact and rapidly shook their heads. "Alright, then. Let's get down to business. There's a new sheriff in town, and him and his posse — that's y'all, by the way — are going to get this company back up topside where it belongs!"
