'Well, now that I know he's the owner's son, yes, he's the best damned wine steward I've ever seen.'

'Shhhh. Fido inherited seventy percent of this company.'

"My family has been fishing these waters for nearly 40 years. . ."

"Some day, son, all this will be yours. ... Actually, you know what? You can have it now."

"And this is my junior partner, my son, Ira."

'In the interest of spending more time with my children, I've put Bobby and Emily in charge of corporate strategy.'

'Don't worry, Dad. I'm going to turn this company around 360 degrees!'

'Son, someday this will all be yours. Or Wal-Mart's. Whoever pays Daddy the most.'

"No, Dad. All this belongs to me right now. I acquired it in a hostile takeover."

"Year after year we sit here quietly raising eyebrows, son."

'Someday, son...all this will be Mine.'

It's not a figure of speech - this is the corporate ladder.

'Someday, Son, this will all be your problem.'

'Of course, we're family-owned & operated in India.'

'What do you mean you don't want to be a model? Just what do you plan to do with the rest of your life?'

'Where did we go wrong?'

'It's a terrific family business: We have about 53 staff-members...'

"Someday, this will all go into your pre-nuptial agreement."

'Someday, Son, all of this will be yo....!'
