Executive Suite (1954)

Harry Shannon: Ed Benedeck

Quotes 

• Ed Benedeck : Where do we go from here Mr. Walling? Four years since we've done anything good like that

  [refers to the framed display picture of a former quality made bench produced by the Tredway furniture company that Mr. Walling was silently and sadly gazing upon] 

  Ed Benedeck : This is what we make now

  [motions to the table on the production line] 

  Ed Benedeck : - the K.F. line. Look at it.

  [walks over to it] 

  Ed Benedeck : I remember when Mr. Bullard used to come down here, see stuff not half as bad as this, and just pick it up and smash it against the wall.

  [said as he too picks up the table by a leg and slams it back down] 

  Ed Benedeck : 'Not good enough!' he used to yell. 'Not good enough!'... huh, not good enough. Why did he allow it Mr. Walling? What happened to him? What's gonna to happen to us?

  McDonald Walling : [Shakes his head in unfortunately sad agreement and walks away]
