MARCIA

Hey, Jude, what’s—

JUDE

Marcia, have you seen it? The announcement?

MARCIA

That we’ve acquired Pompeii Power? Yes, I—

JUDE

No, that he’s acquired Pompeii Power. We had nothing to do with it. No one had anything to do with it. Campbell just went off on his own and made the most significant business decision in a decade without telling anyone else!

MARCIA

I’m sure Eugene was just doing what he thought was best.

JUDE

And he doesn’t tell us a single thing about it? The rest of the Board of Directors? We find out with the rest of everyone else.

MARCIA

Yeah, that isn’t… great.

JUDE

You realize Sabrina found out they’d located a Corestone two days ago, Marsh. Do you know how quickly he rushed into this? We were supposed to meet as a board to discuss it later today! Now instead, we’re going to have to discuss what to do with all these new assets. You know how much of a headache that’s going to be?

MARCIA

Tell me about it. I’m already trying to figure out how to onboard all these new people.

JUDE

This isn’t the first time either. Remember when he fired Kimberly? Didn’t even involve you.

MARCIA

That was years ago, Jude.

JUDE

Yeah, and he hasn’t changed at all! You know how often he just takes a Corestone out of Production to go use it in R&D without talking to me? He’ll just drop our output by 20% on a whim.

MARCIA

I know. We do need to talk about it, I agree.

JUDE

We need to do more than talk about it, Marsh. He’s acting like he’s the CEO, except even a CEO is accountable to the Board. He acts like he’s the sole owner of the company. There needs to be a consequence.

MARCIA

He’s our friend, Jude. He’s been our friend for years.

JUDE

I don’t know. I feel like he stopped treating us as friends a long time ago.
