I thank you for coming.
If we all stick together,

Just tell us the good part, Plunder...
How we're going to get rich.
The word is filthy rich, Mr. Greedly.
Watch.
Hey, Plunder, what are you trying to pull?
The plug, Dr. Blight, on the world's water supply.
We're going to contaminate the water systems
of every major city,
divert clean water to our bottling plants,
and sell it to thirsty citizens at astronomical prices.
Ha ha!
How are we going to pollute the water?
Toxic waste, sewage, chemicals.
The opportunities are endless.
Mmm.
And since people are already spoiling their water supplies...
We're just speeding up the process a bit.
All in favor, say "pollute"!
