"Previously seen on Traders." " l won't panic because some crank gets upset." " Even when the crank knows where you park?" " To spend more time together " " Brian!" "Your dad's just taking a few days off work, that's all." "Yeah, like 30." " Keep the bonds and wait forthe bounce." " Here a week and he thinks he can run a trading desk." " Look, I'm having a bad day." " Don't worry about it." "We'll figure something out." " The newts will rob the nest before the eggs hatch." " Proof?" "What more do you need?" "You'll be trading places with Chris tomorrow." "Don't deserve hope." "Deserve disappointment." " Do I?" "We'd be putting Donald in an impossible position." " lt's asking him to do his job." " Don't you dare mess this up on me, Jack." " No man should be forced to sell out his father." " That's an impressive move, son." "Under other circumstances I'd be proud of you." "You can move yourthings out of the house this weekend." "What nice man?" " He was really nice to me." "He said tell Mommy there's always more than one target." "When did these threats against Ms. Marks begin?" "About three weeks ago." " Could we talk somewhere more private?" " Remember Millennia Construction, an outstanding investment." "What does that mean?" " Someone wants Ms. Marks to recommend Millennia in her next newsletter." " To drive the price up." " Can a recommendation really do that?" "Well, sometimes." "Was he tallerthan Mommy?" " l don't know." "What kind of a car did he have?" " Blue, I think." "It had a radio." "Where are they?" "Who are you?" " Ms. Marks's husband." "She's in the entertainment suite." "Sally..." "Yes, I'll take you." "All right, come on, you people." "You must have something better to do." " l'm here, sweetie." " Daddy!" "We'd ratheryou not touch her just yet, Mr. Marks." "We're still checking her for hair and fibres." " ls she okay?" " She's fine." "Brian." "Where were you?" "We were playing and I went inside for one second." "Why didn't you call me?" " l never dreamed that..." "I looked for her." "She wasn't at the Browns's." "I phoned the police." "They told me she was here." "It couldn't have been 10 minutes." " Ms. Marks?" "I'd like you to take a look at this." "Do you know this man?" " That could be anyone." "We've got a statement from your bodyguard." "I'll need one from you and Mr. Marks as well." "Can we use another office?" "Yeah, you can use my office." "As soon as we're done here, I'd like you to go home and stay there." " That's it?" "You've got a fax, phone calls, videotape, witnesses." "We'll pursue all leads." "But his voice was disguised." "The fax came from a public phone." "And the fact we can't see his face, it's not a coincidence." " Besides the police and Brian, who knows?" "We have a 5-year-old, a bodyguard, and two police officers running around the office." " Fine, fine, so there'll be plenty of speculation." "I want to know who actually knows." "Just us and Monika." "All right, that's where we hold the line." "You and I will focus on damage control." "We'll meet with the department heads, I'll reassign my files." "Then I'll speak to the police and make sure they're properly motivated and understand the importance of keeping this under control." " lf you really want this under control, why don't you have Susannah mention Millennia in her next newsletter?" "Then the extortionist goes away." "What?" "Until he asks for more?" " lf your child was kidnapped, you'd pay the ransom in a heartbeat." " Thanks. I'll be in touch." " Bye." "An analyst's reputation can never survive a published lie." " l can't believe your only concern is business." "Susannah has to be able-  l can't believe you think this is your decision." "My child." "My reputation." "My decision." "And that decision would be?" " l have decided to go home with my husband and my daughter and let the police do their job." "And that is all I have decided." "For now." "Afew days off?" "Susannah didn't take time off when her kid was born." " Since you're only taking these meetings till Marty gets back, don't get too comfortable." "Yes, sir." " Now, Jack, before Cedric retired, he was actually working on a public offering for Grab Records." " Oh, lmpaler." " Excuse me?" " lmpaler, their number-one act." "Their last single was disappointing" " How does the deal look?" "Actually, it looks like the CEO is a nephew of one of Cedric's friends." "But it's a simple $10 million l.P.O." "We're only taking 10% ." " Then you should be able to handle it." "Actually, I have pressing matters on my plate." " Plans for world domination taking up yourtime?" " Oh, I got everything down but how to avoid the war in Asia." " lf you don't want the deal, you tell the client you don't want it." " l would appreciate you giving Adam a hand on this." "Any new business?" " No." " Great. lf you need me, I'll be in Research." " Um, Sir, is, uh, Susannah going anywhere special on hertime off, there?" "You know, if I were you, I'd be much too busy trying to impress the hell out of me than to ask stupid questions." " Mm-hmm." " Okay, buying Trelco at 30 and a quarter." "3/8?" "You just told me a quarter." " They sniffed your Trelco order." "We're chasing the market up." " Keep buying till we meet our objective." "No surrenders." " Sorry, Lenny." "I'm trying to reason with Sergeant Rock." "Come on, Lenny, do me a favour." "Give it to me, baby." "Your absolute best price on Trelco." "Ohh!" " Did you hear anything about Susannah?" " She's taking few days off." " She didn't even take maternity leave." " Not funny, James." " Obviously she has some family problems." "Come on." " 500 says he's leaving her." " Done!" " Do the words "bad taste" mean anything to you?" " Bad taste?" " 2 to 1 she gets custody." " Start looking for a place yet?" " l guess I'll have to." " l hate it." "Well, they still haven't laid in the vocals." " Not the record, the deal." "Cunningham's been looking for some excuse to dump this on me-- l hope he finds one." "Well, in my considered opinion..." "What's your considered opinion, Donald?" " ln my opinion, it..." "it's fairly straightforward." " Straightforward it is." "Good it isn't." " Nova Trust is managing the deal." "We've just got our 10% ." "The syndicate underwrites the balance." "We don't decide if it's good or bad." " No, no, but we do form opinions, don't we, Donald?" " Grab Records needs the money, uh..." " How much do they need?" " They're getting 10 million." " That doesn't only not answer my question, it's not even right." " 10 million on the l.P.O. plus a $30 million loan." "Why?" " Because they need $40 million." " Desperate for." "So Nova Trust loans Grab Records 30 million bucks at some ridiculous interest rate, turning this little brave, edgy, successful record company into a debt-ridden piece of garbage." "I don't get it!" "Adam says it's a done deal..." " ln my considered opinion, Donald, there must be another option." " Ha-ha, 'morning, Mr. Jansky." "So all sweetness and light here in Derivatives?" " Chaotic energy is at a low ebb." " Oh, oh, I assume that's good." " Ha, ha, it's...no." "Why are we talking to each other?" "Yeah, right." "From now on, I'll talk, you listen." "I want you to use your special talents here to help the firm stop losing money on Grab Records." " The scud." "D'Arby told me" "Ah-ah-ah." "Okay." "Now, we have a problem." "See, Grab Records is going to lose money forJack." "And I would like to take advantage of that knowledge." "Of course, uh, can't hedge on an l.P.O., can we?" "Yes?" "Was that rhetorical?" "Yes." "Shut up." "Now. I want you to solve my problem." "Something creative, preferably legal." "Something today." "A-and you... you are...?" " Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, thanks." " Monika." " Uh, oh, I heard." "You're taking a bath on Trelco." "Don't worry." "Found something better." " Cotton?" " Mm-hmm." "Rememberthat rainstorm in the southeast?" "By 3:00, it's gonna turn to hail." " Okay, great." "Thanks." "How's Susannah doing?" " Uh, in what way?" "Well, she's obviously got family problems." "What do you know about that?" " Nothing." "Maybe I could help out." " lt's none of your business." "Okay, fine. I'm sorry I asked." "I hope everything's okay between her and Brian." " Everything's fine." " Okay, I'm opening a new book." "5 to 1 the divorce is off." "Cotton futures?" "I don't think so." " lt's good to have Carrie back home." "When I couldn't find her..." "God... I was still shaking when I came to your office." "Well you've gotta forgive yourself." " For what?" "You..." "you said you felt terrible." " l didn't say it was my fault." " l didn't mean that." "Ijust meant you're the one at home with her" "Yeah, that's right. I am." "She was playing on her swings." "Somebody wanted her bad enough that they came into our backyard to get her." " Oh, so it was my fault?" " l didn't say that either, Susannah." " Like some coffee while I look at this?" " Uh, no thanks." "Don't have time." " lt'll take me a few minutes to understand your holdings, formulate a strategy" "Well, I'm in your hands." " That's very flattering, Mr. Brannick, but" " No, please call me Ed." " Ed, I want to make sure we're heading in the same direction." "You know, I've got a line on cotton futures" " Great." "Let's do it." "I'm going whatever way you're going." "I got a tip you were the best and that's good enough for me." "Wh-who told you that?" "Jack Larkin." " Do you always make your decisions this quickly?" " Only when they're right." "Ciao." " Ciao." " "And all the stars said good night, and the moon said good night, and although she knew no one would believe her, the man in the moon winked at her and whispered her name." "'Good night to you, too,' she whispered back." "And then she snuggled under her covers and fell asleep."" "Sleep tight. I love you." " l love you too." " Do you remember when you were really little, and we used to see if the man in the moon would wink at you?" " No." " No?" "I would pick you up like this... and we would peek out the window and see if we could catch him winking." "Look." "He is." " Ma'am?" "Sorry, ma'am, uh, I'd stay away from the window." "It's safer." " Okay." " Do you have Ed Brannick's home number?" " Nope." " l'm sorry." "You're not Jack." " Neither are you." "And I'm not sorry." " l'm Ayn Krywarik. I'm one of Jack's business associates." " Lucky him." "I'm his father." "Jack talks about you." " Oh, you two got something going?" " No, we just, uh, we work together." " Then he's no son of mine." " That sounds pretty bad, Mr. Larkin." " Frank." " Bronchitis?" "Alveolar cell carcinoma." " Oh." " l guess Jack didn't tell you about that." " This deal sucks all round, lan." " l'm doing it forthe goodwill." " l'm not. I want out." "Jack, you surprise me." "I'm the lead player, I do all the work." "You just come forthe ride." "Look, you pass this crap to Ross, he'll pass it to Cunningham who'll pass it to me." "That makes you the lead crap-passer." " l'm not convinced this meeting is a productive use of my time." " Know what I hate about yourtype?" " l really don't have time to hearthe entire list." "I've got a widow I have to evict." "You're gonna have to sue me to make me finish this deal." " Grow up and live with it." "Jack, yourfather's here to see you." " Hi, Dad, hold on a sec." "Donald!" "You're busy, I'll go to lunch-  l've got all the time in the world." "This scud's foryou, buddy." "Adam wanted you to handle it." " He failed to take into account that I don't like diving into sewage." " So you want him to handle it?" "0 Got to learn to swim sometime, Donald." "Wh-wh-what should I do with it?" " l don't care. lt's a loser, lt's always gonna be a loser." "Yeah, thanks." " Come on, let's go." "Hold on a second, Dad..." "Wait a second!" " Ms. Marks." "[intercom]:" "I'm here." " There were no fibres on your daughter's clothing," " No human hair, no fingerprints." "We're still questioning the othertenants of the building, see if anybody can l.D. him." " So you still have nothing." "is that what you're saying?" "Yeah, that's what I'm saying." "Well, let's start with this." "I bought a share of Millennia so I could get a hold of the shareholders list." "[Susannah]:" "It won't list many shareholders, mainly brokers." " Brokers would rathertell you about their wives' affairs than talk about their clients' stocks." " l'm sure you're right, but it is a lead." " l'll call you back, Susannah." " Okay." " Um, before I go, exactly what do you think I'm not doing?" " l beg your pardon." " My chief hauled my ass down to his office this morning." "Seems he got his ass hauled to city hall last night." "I don't like guys going over my head." "I especially don't like it when guys like you go over my head." "Makes me feel, um... unmotivated." "What?" "You are holding some very vulnerable positions here." "Yeah, I was fed up with my last broker." "He just wasn't listening to me." "Well... you can keep a couple of these high-risk stocks, because if they pay off, they're going to pay off big." "But the rest..." "We have to diversify, spread some of the risk around, upgrade" "Yeah, great, great." "I'd like you to buy 10,000 calls of VX, quick flip." " This is an awfully big order for a portfolio like yours." "The strategy I'm suggesting" " No, no, I absolutely agree, ljust got a real hunch on this." " l still wouldn't advise risking this much, until you're" "Well, I promise we'll do it your way next time." " Okay, Mr. Brannick, you're the boss." " l don't think so." "I'm sitting on 50,000 Trelco here. 40,000?" "Okay, 30...20,000?" " Don't say we're stuck with them." " Sell Trelco." "We're stuck with them." " To who?" "Anybody, do it now." "We'll be riding the market down." " Not if we're ahead." " Don't want to kill the market." " Kill, maim it, cripple it." "Just do it." " Shall we take no prisoners, sarge?" " Shut up, Seidleman." "Just unload our position in Trelco, okay?" " Should we be getting into cotton futures?" "Yeah, you know, Monika said" " Monika thinks it's gonna hail." "When Monika's intuition says long, I say short." "Sell cotton futures, people." " lt's not just a job, Chris, it's an adventure -- dv-dv-dv-dv-dv-dv-dv." "Yeah?" "You want to find me some VX calls, please?" " For Brannick?" "Yup. I know, just get me the order." " Gregor Securities, brokered 30 small purchases of Millennia in the past three weeks." " So have we." "So have a dozen other brokerages." " He's a storefront operation." "He's never done anything close to this size." "And he cannot be forced to disclose the shareholder's name." " So I'll ask him." " Sally, for heaven's sake, let the police do their job." " Right, shall I phone them, or do you want to call in anotherfavour?" " Oh, yeah." "You need exercise." "You need food." "You ever heard of vegetables?" " l exercised all the way to your office." "Piss off." " No pissing off about it." "Two doctors said you needed to improve your diet and your cardio." " Three said I could eat anything I wanted, practise my bank shot and get my affairs in order." "Here's one of you and your mother." "You want it?" " Put that stuff away." "How old is this?" "You find that in my fridge?" "Look, if you don't want this, I'm going to throw it in the garbage." " lt's yours." "It's not bad." " l don't care, I'm not eating them." "Here's one of you and your sister." " l don't want it." "They're actually pretty good." " Hey." " l'm flattered, but we're family." " Give it to your sister." " No." "Your mom wanted Cathy to have-- - l don't care!" "You don't have to like her, just deliver it." " Look, I am not ready to get your estate in order, okay?" " She's on Keele Street." "I tracked her down." "She doesn't seem to want to keep in touch." " l don't blame her." "Eat your bean sprouts." " l'm asking for one lousy favour." " Eat your bean sprouts." "Will you give it up?" " Come on, you know me betterthan that." " lt's cancer. lt's a loser." "It's always gonna be a loser." " l need some information." " Ha-ha, imagine you coming to Josef Gregorfor information when you have such resources at your disposal." "We're not that large a firm." "You are a "we," which means you are largerthan me." "But... I am wasting your valuable time." "Please, you have a question." "We've been following your recent purchases of a particular stock." " Hmm, it seems you have the best of me, Miss Ross." "I know of no purchases made by Gardner/Ross." " l'd like to know who's been buying Millennia." "And if I asked you that?" " Mr. Gregor, the situation is urgent." "There's a lot more at stake than money." " Ha-ha-ha, there's always a lot more at stake than money." "But only forthose not in on the deal." "Are you in on the deal?" " No, I'm saying that there's a lot more at stake than money for me, too." " Mr. Gregor, please." " Miss Ross, in the towers of Bay Street, perhaps they can bend the rules sometimes and no one will make a fuss, but out here, I have no such liberty." "My clients deserve confidentiality, just the same as yours." " Confidentially, then, there's been an extortion attempt on one of our analysts." " l can do nothing foryou, Miss Ross." "It has been open season on analysts foryears." " Please accept my sincere apologies." " So this is a Kodak moment." " l was out of line earlier." " Brass got to you, huh?" " lt's your deal. I'm on board." "I think it could be better." " For whom?" " For everybody:" "Donald worked up some figures. lt just requires a few minor modifications." " Nice try, Jack." "This isn't minor." "We'll do all the paperwork." "Ijust want to eliminate the debt structure, make the stock issue 40 mil, not 10." "And talk Grab Records into a complete restructuring." "You gotta admit it's betterforyour client." " They end up owing Nova Trust zip." " That's the beauty of it." " That's the problem." " Foryou or Nova trust?" " lf there's a problem for Nova Trust, there's a problem for me." " Don't you get tired of being a lackey forthe bank?" "Your apology is accepted." " So that's that?" " Eat our bean sprouts, start over." "What the hell does that mean?" "You've heard of virtual reality?" " Of course." " Good." " So?" "You want more?" "I took some..." "some vinyl future derivatives." "Ditto for digital-tape and music-video production." "I put them together and created a virtual record company, Mirror Records." "You know why I call it Mirror Records?" " Because you don't cast a reflection." " That's a good one." "No, because as Grab Records goes down," "Mirror Records goes up and vice versa." "As Grab Records" "All right, I get it, I get it." "Fortunately, that's not gonna happen." " Good." "There was this virtual railway I created in '92, it went off the rails." "Or did it crack up in a tunnel?" "[music]" "[laughing]" " Hey!" "Mmm." "You know, I kind of like you working at home." "Yeah, well, that's a pretty flimsy silver lining." "We're basically hostages in our own home." " l know." "No, I don't know if I'm gonna include a recommendation for Millennia." " l was kissing your neck, for Christ's sakes." " l..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "What are you thinking?" " l'm not thinking -- l'm hoping." "Every time that phone rings, I'm hoping that it's the policeman telling me they've got that bastard in custody." "Why don't you do what he wants?" " Do you really think I'm having a hard time making a choice between our daughter and my career?" "Are you?" " Fifteen minutes ago, overthe cotton fields of Georgia, a heavy rainstorm turned into hail." "Only one analyst predicted that occurrence, and only one firm had the opportunity to profit from that information." "Do you know what that firm was?" " Gardner/Ross." " That's very astute -- not many people would know that, seeing as how only one person from Gardner/Ross managed to profit from that information." "Ayn?" " Bingo." " l think that's part of the problem." "Because Ayn and a number" "Ayn is making money for her clients." "You're supposed to be making money forthe firm." "Yeah, but I didn't think that information was reliable." " So you know better than our analyst, do you?" "You tell me why the hell we botherto hire people like that when we have a genius like you on board, huh?" "I'm not paying you to think." "I'm paying you to trade." "You got any more thoughts, stifle them." "Yes, sir." "What are you looking at?" "Your husband and I have already had a fair bit of success." " l thought he finally had it under control." " Pardon me?" " No more lying to me about unpaid bills." "No more strange calls from men who said he owed them money." " l'm not sure this is any of my business." "And then, six months ago, when his company began downsizing, well, of course, Ed was among the first to be let go." "No seniority, you see." "Um, he's looking for a job." "I know he is." "But we can't afford to be taking risks." " Perhaps you could hedge against his riskier investments." "Assuming he were to waive confidentiality." "You don't understand." "He's a compulsive gambler," "Miss Krywarik." "And I don't want you to represent him anymore." " Mrs. Brannick, I have a client." "My job is to invest his money." "Not your money, not my money." "What he chooses to do is" " Miss Krywarik, I've checked with the bank." "He's liquidated our retirement fund." "Our home is mortgaged for more than it's worth." "I'm afraid we're going to lose everything." "Please help us." "Don't let him do anything reckless." " l'm sorry." " l'm not sure that Monika needs to be at this meeting." " She knows everything I'll tell you." "She spent most of the afternoon helping me." " Helping you what?" " Look through the back issues of several investment newsletters." "It was something Gregor said this morning about "open season on analysts." lt made me wonder whetherthere might have been a previous extortion attempt." " l had to read about a thousand before I got lucky." "This is from a year ago." "I highlighted the relevant bit." "And this is a newsletter by the same analyst three weeks later." "Well, that's curious." " That's what I thought." "Wrong answer." "Look, if I wanted to hear what the other doctors said, I'd call them." "Come up with something, please." "Thank you." " Thanks forthe referral." " No problem." "What do you want?" "What's Brannick like?" "Why?" "You want to date him?" " Maybe." "He doesn't seem to be as big a son of a bitch as you are." " He's a friend of a friend." "We played poker." "What do you want?" " His wife came to see me." "She says he's a compulsive gambler." "Like seriously compulsive." "And he's been pulling some dumb stunts." "Why is this your problem?" " l don't know." "She seemed desperate." "She asked me for my help." "You're not his therapist." " Thank you." "How is your dad?" " Fine." " That's a nasty cough he's got." " He'll take some antibiotics, he'll be fine." " Great." " Let me say right off the top, I'm very happy where l am." "Not that you couldn't convince me to move to Gardner/Ross." " l'm not trying to head-hunt you, Mr. Simpson." " Okay, well, you know I'm happy where l am." " Do you know Susannah Marks?" " By reputation." "Do you ever say to yourself," ""l wish I'd thought of that"?" "I do when I read her newsletter." "Not that my newsletter isn't always my own" " No, I'm not here to accuse you of plagiarism either, Mr. Simpson." " Good." "Not that I know everything." "Ijust..." "Go ahead." "I'll stop interrupting." "About a year ago, your newsletter slammed" "Neuland Transport, and then three weeks later-  l reversed myself." " l thought I'd lived that one down." "What made you change your mind?" "Well, something I missed, to be honest." "I took a look at the data from another angle, and "click."" " Mr. Simpson, when you changed your recommendation, was there any pressure?" " Pressure?" "There's always pressure." "It's a high-pressure business." " l'm talking about pressure from an individual." "I'm talking about extortion." " No, that's ridiculous." " Not to Susannah Marks." " l'm sorry to hearthat." "We need to know who's doing it." "So, if you know-- - lf l knew Anything, I'd call the police, but like I said, it never happened." "Goodbye, Miss Ross." " They threatened her child." " l am sorry." " Call your sister?" "Where do you get this stubborn streak?" "My legs are killing me." "Your lungs are killing you." "The walk's good foryou." " l'm going back." "We're halfway there." " Halfway to what?" " Halfway to a pint of beer on me." "Why didn't you say so?" "[Jack chuckling]" " Got it." "One hour." "Who was that?" " Sally. I've gotta go in." "You don't have to go anywhere." " She'll be all right, Mr. Marks." "I'll go with her." " l don't give a damn." "What the hell's wrong with you?" " l have to do this." " Bull." "You don't have to do anything." " Brian, this is important." " Oh, yeah?" "Sure it's important." "You're so damn important that somebody'll kill foryour advice?" "It's a rush, isn't it?" " l don't think you understand." "You're right, I don't understand." "You stay here with Brian and Carrie." " Susannah, the police are outside." "I'm going with you" "You are working for me." "Stay here with my family." " So what's with this Ayn girl?" " Ha-ha, she thinks you should do everything your son tells you to do." " Hmph, piss off." " She does." "She thinks you're crusty." " Crusty?" "And lovable." " Guess there's no point in me asking you for her number, is there?" " l admit it." "You were right, I was wrong." "Isn't that enough foryou?" " No." " Gimme a break." "I already bought you two drinks." "Chris Todson is a complete and utter moron" " Louder." " Chris Todson is a complete and utter moron who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as Monika Barnes." "And?" " No." "And?" " l'm not gonna say that." " Do you want to see my analysis before the street?" "I think Cunningham would like that." "What do you think?" "And he has a very small..." "I cannot say that, no." " l forgive you." " Thank you." "Anyways, how's Susannah doing?" "You still making book on her home life?" "You know about that?" " Oh, you know, you would bet on anything, wouldn't you?" "With the right odds, yeah." " 5 to 1 you're an asshole." " 20 to 1 against Martindale going any higher." "No, no, no, 30 to 1." " Brannick called right after close;" "insisted this thing's a winner." "What do you think, Mart?" " Do you want advice from a suspended trader?" " No, I guess not." "The guy's cracked." "Yeah, it sure seems that way." " He made one big score this week." "He should take his profits and run." " Nobody will talk to me." " l think he's really got a problem." "Did you talk to Davidson?" "Word from Compliance is, if the guy can pay, then you must trade." " l'm fine." " l'd really like to hold back on this one." " Persona non grata, but fine." " Don't put your ass in a sling for him." "Maybe one shot in 30, but if Martindale Resources does go up, you're on the hook for a lot of money." "I mean you, you personally." " This guy is sick." "He's not responsible for his actions." " So that means that you are?" "Don't listen to me." "I'm on suspension." " Doug?" "Doug Simpson?" "You didn't tell?" " Nobody, and I wasn't followed." "You wouldn't know if you were." " l'm..." "I'm sorry about all this cloak-and-dagger stuff." " Don't be." " l don't care what you do with the information." "Don't mention my name -- l can't go through this again." " He's threatening me the same way he threatened you." "Yeah." " Give me a name, any name." " l can't." " Then why are we here?" " How did you get this number?" "[caller]:" "I can do all sorts of things, Mr. Simpson." "I'm hoping that you can as well." "All I need is a target." " That's him." "[speaking Russian]" " Russian?" "Yeah." "He's giving someone instructions about some sort of delivery." "He refers to him as a "gas monkey."" "That means a driver." "It's idiomatic." " To whom?" " The Russian mob." " l guess you did what they wanted." "Yeah, but not right away." "Not till they broke my leg." " Oh, my God." "What are you doing?" "We're running away." " Not very effectively." "We have to assume that you're being watched." "We'll use your car." "Leave the house at dinnertime so it looks like you're taking your daughter for a pizza or something." " Can't pack for pizza." " Then don't pack." " Mommy, I'm ready." "You're ready?" "Oh, honey, I know you're gonna be disappointed, but you can't take all that with you." " Oh." " But I'll tell you what." "You pick out your "favouritest" thing to take with you, 'cause we're coming home real soon." " Dudley." " Grab Records, stock issue at 3:00, Mr. Jansky." "I hope your virtual company will be ready by then." " lt's already ready." "Uh, Mirror opened this morning at 10 1/2." " Oh..." "Wait." "But it's at 14." "Now, you said that it goes up when Grab Records goes down, but Grab Records has not had the chance to go down." " ln virtual time, it has." "Rumours of a heavy debt load." "A virtual rumour." " No... no, real." "A virtual company affected by a real rumour." " l'm..." "I'm very good, virtually." "Well, would you care for one of these?" " No bookkeeping error." " Then why'd you drag me to the studio?" " Cheque's the wrong amount." "Should be replaced." " Ever hear of a bonded courier?" " Bonded couriers do not rip up cheques for 10 million bucks." "Well, is this a joke?" " Turn this deal around and walk out of here With 40 million bucks; no debt." "All right, I'm listening." " Okay, we've restructured to maximize the cash infusion while minimizing-- - l'm no longer listening." " This is the bottom line." "How many albums you want to produce?" "At least 25." " Do it my way; make 100." " ljust got to rip this up?" "Yeah." " Ooh, I've never ripped up a cheque for $10 million before." " Few have." "Where the hell is he?" "This is an egregious breach of protocol." "I'm the lead manager." "Vince?" " That's my cheque." "Was your cheque." "You know what?" "You're right." "I shouldn't have started this meeting without you." "Vince's just thrilled with your restructuring..." " My restructuring." " Don't worry, you'll get full credit." "Very nice work, lan." " Cost his bank some, but it's best for his client." "He's a stand-up guy." " Uh, still climbing." "You could place Brannick's order now and it wouldn't cost you." "Uh, no, actually I lied." "It would cost you a lot." "But it could be a lot worse in five minutes." "Yo, Ayn?" " l know it's gonna drop." "I mean, it's got to drop, right?" "How far up is it?" " Uh, $2.50." "You don't have to do this, you know?" " l have to do this." "I can't afford it at that price." " Hey, it'll go down, right?" " Marching orders." "Grab Records's been restructured." "Open up the doggy door and get this mongrel out of here." " Hey, it's Benny, the only guy who lets you cheat at golf." "It's not a dog, come on." "You don't even know what I'm selling, man." "It's, uh, Grab Records." "Yeah, sure!" "How much do you want?" " Hey, Rick, it's Jim over at G/R." "I've just been given the go-ahead to" "Yeah, I can do that much." " Okay, this dog's a pup, people." "Push it out, men." "Push hard, push often." " Hey, Chris, feeding frenzy?" " Frontal attack on the bottom line." "About time." "What have you got?" " Grab Records." " Great." " Nothing to do, Krywarik?" "No opportunities to screw me over?" " Benny, I can't look." "You don't want to." " Oh, God." "Where are you going?" "Krywarik?" " l'm bankrupt." " Come on, it can't be that bad." " Brannick." "I didn't place the order." "I'm bankrupt." "I'm unemployed." " Hey, hey, hey." "I'll deny I ever said this... lt's just a job." "It's just money." "[playing Taps]" " Stop that." "Talk to me." " lt's a major meltdown." " That bad?" " Market loves the new Grab." "Grab up." " Mirror down." "We're about to find out if a virtual company can go into virtual bankruptcy." " How could Larkin restructure Grab Records without letting me know?" "You told him about Mirror?" "That was... a rhetorical question, wasn't it?" " Oh, of course." " l'm ruined." "It was a sure thing." " Sir, you're not allowed down here." " lt's okay, he's one of my clients." " Then get him off my floor." " l'm completely wiped out, Ayn." " Martindale took a nose dive." "What?" "What?" "You don't even know about this?" "What am I paying you for?" "What the hell, I can't afford to pay you anyway." " lt's okay." "It's not as bad as that." "Get off the floor. I'll explain." "Just get your hands off me!" "Why don't you try to salvage something?" "What kind of broker are you?" " She's a kind of broker who put her reputation, not to mention a fair bit of money, on the line to try to save your sorry ass." "What are you talking about?" " l didn't place the order." "What?" " l didn't buy the stock." "The money is still in there." " The money's still there?" "You didn't make the buy?" " No." " Now that you've figured that out, can you get the hell off my floor?" " Close out my account," "Ms. Krywarik." "Now." "I'll find another broker, thank you, one that does what he's told." "Thank you." "You got a good lawyer?" " He's not gonna sue me." "To win, he'd have to admit he's an idiot." " Hey!" " Took your advice." "What advice is that?" " Not to give up." "Took Grab Records back, turned it around, made it a winner." " That's great." "Thanks forthe veggies." "I'll see you later?" " Forget it, I'm staying for dinner. I'm here now." "We actually made a fair bit of coin off that deal, which would've made it a great day if Cunningham hadn't hedged." "Who would've thought he'd do something smart?" " That's life." " Put some butter on here." "[sniffing]" " That's the trouble with these bachelorette palaces." "Everyone can tell what you're cooking." " That's amazing." "One guy cooks a meal, and everyone knows exactly what he's eating, huh?" " l don't want to hear it, okay?" "I know." "Animal fat, cholesterol, nitrates... I love nitrates, I live forthem." " Couldn't you have found a halfway point between bacon and bean sprouts?" " l don't need to explain myself." " lf someone told me I could live longer, but I'd have to give up making deals and having sex..." "Are you comparing bacon and women?" " l'm just saying it's tough to give stuff up, I know." " He's coming with us?" " Of course he is." " l forgot Dudley." " lt's okay, I'll go get him." "[dring!" "]" "[Susannah]:" "Hi, we're not at home to take your call." "Please leave a message." "[beep!" "]" "[caller]:" "I know you're there." " Hello?" "Where are you going?" "We're going out for dinner." " l'm surprised at you, Susannah." " l can't do it." "Yes, you can." "And yes, you will." "It surprises me that you think you're not going to do it, and yet you keep yourfamily in the line of fire." "I only care about you, Susannah." "I want you to stay." "Nothing bad will happen to yourfamily." "As long as I do what you want." " Did I say that?" "[dial tone]" " Dudley's gonna jump in the air, and I'm going to catch him." "You're going to throw him right up and you're going to catch him?" "There's Mom with Dudley." " There's my Dudley." " Listen... I can't go with you, sweetie." "You'll have lots of fun with Grandma." "Are you okay, Mommy?" " l'm fine, sweetie." "I'm just gonna miss you." "Go with Daddy." " l thought you went to your dad's for dinner." " l did." "Lyall Research?" " lt's a biotech start-up."
