Plot
[edit]I just watched it last night.
The article says: "Staples accepts a promotion and double his salary and stock options, but warns Ramsey that he will defend his principles and never back down from his boss, who is delighted."
It was much more than that. The film contained an earlier scene where Briggs, in a discussion with Staples, loses control, and starts raving about how he'd like to strangle Ramsey. In the last scene, Staples doesn't just tell Ramsey that he'd "defend his principles and never back down"; he says that he'd actively work to replace Ramsey in the company. The implication was that Staples would honour Briggs memory by removing Ramsey from the business. This was something that Briggs had dearly wanted, but been incapable of even attempting.
Right at the end, during the conversation referenced above, Staples answers back to Ramsey (I forget about what). Ramsey says, "It begins". Clearly "it" is the coming conflict between Ramsey and Staples for control of the company.
For those reasons I've reworded the quoted sentence above, as follows:
"Staples accepts a promotion and double his salary and stock options, but warns Ramsey that he will actively work to replace Ramsey in the company. Ramsey smiles and says, 'It begins'." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.122.223.124 (talk) 09:51, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
