Mattson
Good morning, Mr. Sullivan.
Mr. Sullivan
I have an important meeting in a few minutes with some very jittery stockholders, Mattson. I hope you have good news for me.
Mattson
Yes sir, I do sir. Every supermarket tabloid in the country's running headlines about Andy Barclay and his killer Good Guy doll.
Mr. Sullivan
What about his mother and the police were on the case?
Mattson
The police were smart, they denied everything. Which is fine which means now they can't hurt us. But, the mother's a different matter. She backed up her boy's story in court, so now she's under psychiatric observation.
Mr. Sullivan
Where's the boy now?
Mattson
Midtown Children's Crisis Center. Foster custody pending.
Mr. Sullivan
My stomach hurts, Mattson. Is this what you call "good news?"
Mattson
Yes, sir - well, I'm getting to that sir. A lot of...
Worker
[walks by] Good morning, Mr. Sullivan.
Mattson
A lot of people believe that some joker, here at the company, must've tampered with the doll's voice cassette. You know, like "Hi, I'm Chucky. I'm the Lakeshore Strangler. And I'm gonna kill you!"
[laughs]
Mattson
Something like - well, something like that. But the "good news", Mr. Sullivan, is that now - we've got the doll. We rebuilt it from head to toe. A lot of it was burned to a crisp. But everything checks out the voice cassette, servomechanism, we found absolutely nothing.
[hands Mr. Sullivan a file]
Mattson
This is a quality-controlled report. I'm sure it will make the stockholders very happy.
Mr. Sullivan
I want to see the doll for myself.
Mattson
Certainly.
[knocks on glass window]
Mattson
Gentlemen, Mr. Sullivan's here.
Technician
Well, give us a minute we're not used to making them manually.
[punches code into machine]
Technician
[machine malfunctions]
Technician
What's wrong?
Technician
I don't know, it's stuck?
Mattson
[growing nervous] They'll have this... worked out.
