Victor - After a little thought, I see you less as Cassius, more as Mark Antony - perhaps the dark, brooding Marlon Brando characterization - speaking the funeral oration: Friends, investors, CPQ shareholders, lend me your ears; I come to bury Pfeiffer, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Pfeiffer. The noble Rosen hath told you Pfeiffer was ambitious; If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Pfeiffer answered it. Here, under leave of Rosen and the rest of the BOD, (for Rosen is an honorable man, so are they all, all honorable men) Come I to speak at Pfeiffer's funeral. He was our friend, faithful and just to all CPQ shareholders; But Rosen says he was Ambitious, And Rosen is an honorable man. Pfeiffer hath brought many well-stuffed quarters home to CPQ; Whose revenues did the stock price prop up: Did this in Pfeiffer seem ambitious? When the analysts have cried, Pfeiffer hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. But Rosen says he was Ambitious, And Rosen is an honorable man. You all did see that in the December board meeting, He thrice was presented with the chance to sell AV to CMGI, And thrice he did refuse. Was this Ambition? Yet Rosen says he was Ambitious, And Rosen is an honorable man. I speak not to disprove what Rosen said, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did praise him once, not without cause, What cause now with-holds you then to mourn him? Oh Judgement! Thou art fled to Day-traders, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me, My heart is in the internet IPO there with Pfeiffer, And I must pause till it come back to me.
