Act I, Scene 10 — Roman's Best Man Speech
Characters: Roman
Roman Logan delivers a biting, uncomfortable best man speech at his sister Shiv's wedding to Tom Wambsgans. He uses the platform to insult Tom's background and family while teasing a scandalous secret from the bachelor party, showcasing his characteristic blend of cruelty and insecurity.
The Burden of Expectation
Characters: Logan, Kendall
Logan Roy ruthlessly berates his son Kendall after a failed business venture, questioning his competence and character. Kendall desperately pleads for his father's approval and a chance to prove his worth, only to be met with cold indifference and the demand for more ruthlessness.
The Wedding Toast
Characters: SHIV
During her wedding reception, Shiv Roy delivers a public toast that balances corporate-style humor with thinly veiled jabs at her family. She navigates the complex dynamics of her powerful father and brothers while offering a characteristically unsentimental tribute to her new husband, Tom.
Act I, Scene 10 — The Wedding Night
Characters: Shiv, Tom
On their wedding night, Shiv confesses to Tom that she has been having an affair and expresses her desire for an open marriage. Tom attempts to process the betrayal while Shiv deconstructs the traditional concept of love to justify her need for a non-monogamous arrangement. The scene explores the power imbalance and the transactional nature of their relationship amidst high-stakes emotional vulnerability.
