makes one wonder what's being contemplated, "What's this Star Wars thing people are talking about" ?

[LonnieFisher]

I would like to personally thank everyone in that room! Thank you!!

...debating if the Saturday Night Fever line should be 12" and should they adapt the Fonzie arms or Fist-Fighters for the "Disco Dancing" marketing feature...right before someone reminds them about the abortion and rape stuff...

Thanks to this museum, I can recognize a few people, even from this distance!

I see Abrams, Kublan, Viera (sp) and Sol Harrison's son. Am I right?

"I tell ya, they're the World's Greatest Toys. They belong in a.. a... Museum!!!"

[MIB41]

Voice speaker: BZZZZZZZZZ.
Abrams: "Yes Betsy?"
Voice speaker: "We have a Mr. George Lucas here who would like to discuss a merchandising deal on a new project he's finishing up. Ahem. It's called Star Wars."
Abrams: "Star Wars? What the hell is that? Tell him I'm not here. Tell him... Tell him I'm overseas and won't be back for a month."
Voice speaker: " Yes sir!"
Abrams: " Star Wars... What the hell. Like we would make a nickel off that tripe."

Why did they invite Telly Savalas to observe the meeting, and couldn't he have dressed up a bit? I don't think "all-denim" is usually appropriate for important company business.

One of my contacts (don't ask who) provided me with an audio recording of this meeting years ago, from when Kenner sent a guy over posing as a traveling encyclopedia salesman, who bugged the office. Unfortunately, the audio is too muffled due to all the synthetic fabrics rubbing together, so all I could make out was "MORE SCOTCH PLEASE!!!".

"Now, let's discuss the next money maker for our company! Jim, how are we doing on those Love Boat prototypes?"

Is the board room at 41 Madison Ave?

[palitoy]

I'd imagine as such, one of the executives told me they all called the Park across the street "Dog **** park".

[EMCE Hammer]

I am infatuated with that couch.
