Hugo Baker quotes from Succession

Hugo Baker

And Roman, the safe place is the three R's, okay?

Roman Roy

Yeah.

Hugo Baker

Regret. It happened a long time ago. Responsibility. Belongs to individuals and not corporations. Remedy. Super tough, super vague. The move is condemn and move on. Got it?

Roman Roy

Yeah, got it.

Hugo Baker

Okay.

Gerri Kellman

Right, and if you need to smash glass in case of emergency, it's enough of that and back to the session: "Family Ownership & Corporate Continuity in the Digital Age."

Logan Roy

Whatever the fuck that means.

Hugo Baker

Andreas? Hey, man!

Hey.

Hugo Baker

Oh, wow. They-- they tell me that you nearly got a bronze at Sochi.

Ah. [chuckles] Another lifetime, you know.

Hugo Baker

Yeah. Oh, man, that's... that's almost huge, man. You know? Those darn tenths of a second, huh? Tuck!

Hugo Baker

Guy's a dick.

Hugo Baker

Congrats, congrats, congrats.

Hugo Baker

What-- what-- what's going on there?

Gerri Kellman

I don't know.

Hugo Baker

What is that?

Gerri Kellman

It's--

Hugo Baker

Is that-- is that the kill list? It is, isn't it?

Karolina Novotney

Wait!

Gerri Kellman

It's just, uh, Jess managed...

Hugo Baker

Yeah, yes, it is.

Gerri Kellman

...to get a hold of something. Um, uh, early draft. GoJo finance list of potential severance costs. It's highly provisional. It's-- it's caveated, subject to change. It would just be an interpretation.

Hugo Baker

Well, come on, Gerri. Don't leave us hanging. Who's on it?

Okay, if you insist. In seemingly no particular order, um, just, uh, potentially surplus to requirements are... Ray.

God fuckin' damn it.

Gerri Kellman

Mark.

Shit.

Gerri Kellman

Hugo.

Hugo Baker

That slalom motherfucker!

Gerri Kellman

Frank.

Frank Vernon

Naturally. It's just speculation.

Gerri Kellman

Karl.

Karl Muller

Let the good times roll.

Hugo Baker

Wait, wait. What-- wh-- what about Karolina?

Gerri Kellman

Um...

Karolina Novotney

Okay.

Gerri Kellman

She's... not on the list, so retained.

Karolina Novotney

Retained, okay.

Frank Vernon

And you?

Hugo Baker

Congratulations.

Karolina Novotney

Thank you.

Gerri Kellman

Uh, also not on the list.

Karl Muller

Tom? What about Tom? Tom-- Tom must be on the list.

Gerri Kellman

Mm.

Karl Muller

Oh, my God.

Gerri Kellman

I don't see him.

Great fucking trip. Highly fucking productive. So much for being raised by wolves.

Hugo Baker

Oh, fuck! Fuck!

Shiv Roy

What?

Hugo Baker

Fuck! [shows Matsson tweet] "Doderick Macht Frei."

Roman Roy

That's a very nasty joke, right?

Karolina Novotney

Shiv Roy

Yeah. That's, what, a... it's a Holocaust joke.

Hugo Baker

Look who it's...

Karolina Novotney

From our acquirer...

Hugo Baker

Look who it's from.

Karolina Novotney

...so we might need to strategize. Pull the Q and A. Can we let him know? Can we let Kendall know?

Hugo Baker

Fuck.

Karolina Novotney

Because he's about...

Shiv Roy

We should try.

Karolina Novotney

...to base jump into a buzzsaw.

Hugo Baker

Right, right. [on phone call] Are-- are you backstage?

Greg Hirsch

[to Tom] This is kinda good for you 'cause your presentation, not great, and so now no one will be watching.

Hugo Baker

Hey, man. Great one. The losers never triumph. I was always hoping, you know? So, uh, let's chat. I got you.

Tom Wambsgans

Hugo Baker

Karolina?

Tom Wambsgans

Mm-hmm.

Hugo Baker

She's, um...
