Charles Foster Kane:  As Charles Foster Kane who owns eighty - two _ thousand _ , six hundred and thirty - four shares of public transit - you see , I do have a general idea of my holdings - I sympathize with you . Charles Foster Kane is a scoundrel . His paper should be run out of town . A committee should be formed to boycott him . You may , if you can form such a committee , put me down for a contribution of one thousand dollars .
