Businessman

Background

Businessman is a businessman in California.

During the events of The Birds (1963) played by Joe Mantell

Sebastian Sholes asks Mrs. Bundy how many seagulls were counted during the last census and complains about them messing with his fishing boats. A Mother in Diner asks Helen to ask them to lower their voices as their talk is scaring her children. Mrs. Bundy tells Sebastian that the seagulls were just after his fish. Businessman walks in to The Tides Restaurant and says the seagulls should have just been shot. Mrs. Bundy tells everyone that there are 5,750,000,000 Birds in the United States alone. Melanie Daniels and Mrs. Bundy continue to argue and Mrs. Bundy tells her that if The Birds really did band together, humans wouldn't stand a chance of survival. Sam walks out from the kitchen and Mrs. Bundy jokingly tells him that they are planning a war. The Mother in Diner asks what the fastest way to San Francisco is and the Businessman tells her that she can follow him. Mitch Brenner walks in with Deputy Al Malone and tells everyone about The Birds killing Dan. Al says that the Santa Rosa police believe that Dan was murdered by a burglar. They continue to debate about The Birds and the Businessman and Mother in Diner leave with her kids. Gas from the pumps pours out towards the Businessman's car and he is engulfed in flames when he lights his cigarette.
