Wendy Boone: Papa! Papa! The hills are yielding another healthy bounty of strawberries!
Paul Boone: Isn’t it glorious? We shall start harvest by Autumn’s end.
Linda Boone: Our Lord’s benevolence calls for a toast. Should I open up a bottle of our wine?
Paul Boone: Yes, but not that bottle, dear. Why that’s merely from 2003. This occasion calls for the good stuff. Simon, please go down to the cellar and retrieve a vintage ’92 bottle.
Simon Boone: Yes, Papa!
Linda Boone: Paul, I was balancing the company books and over the last fiscal year we’ve, yet again, marginally made profit. Do you suppose this year we can charge more than $3 per bottle?
Paul Boone: Never! We didn’t start this business to make profit, Linda. We did it so that every working family can afford a nice bottle of wine with their supper.
