" ... helps." " How much does he charge forthat help?" " Two-hundred for solicitation." "Another 200 for shared amount." "$77 million takeover;" "1.2% advisory." "That is  1.3 mil." " 1.324." "We'll round it off." "You'll just forget about $24,000?" " lt doesn't look good to be taking every nickel off the table." "A $24,000 nickel." "Yeah!"

"Dorian lndustries is Grenfeld Cosmetics' main supplier and has been for a number of years." "Also, Oscar Dorian is Lynette Grenfeld's godson." "Awhite knight." " ln all likelihood." " But protecting them from what?" " From us." "We hadn't made the announcement yet." " Somebody did." "You think we have another leak?" " l think we got a client with a big mouth, that's what I think." "It's not about the money, Adam." " Two dollars more per share if you stay." "Of course the bank's insane, but who am I to argue?" "What's the matter, Adam, you're not rich enough yet?" " Not even close." "But hey, hey, it's not about me, Jack." "I mean, there's Grant, Ayn, Benny, every one of the shareholders." "I'm sure Donald could use the money." "And you just agree to keep on doing your job." " l can't do it!" " They're prepared to dump a truckload of cash foryour lockup." " My job is corporate finance;" "not a bank lackey." "You're costing yourfriends and co-workers a lot of money by playing with semantics." " lt's not semantics, Adam." "It's why I came here." " l'm not hungry." "You don't have to eat it, just recommend it." " lt's macaroni and cheese." " lt's good macaroni and cheese." " How good can it be?" " Pretty damn good."

" My friends all love it." "You believe in the product?" "Get me some data." "Now, go do your job and let me do mine." " l'm swamped, Grant." " l'm..." "I'm in love, Donald." " Congratulations, what do you want?" " To... to tell you I'm in love." " Okay... okay, what's her name?" " lt's uh, uh, uh, Magda." " Magda?" "Does she have a last name?" " Everybody has a last name, Donald." "Except some of the big superstars." "But she's not a big superstar." " Do you know her last name?" " Love doesn't ask last names." "At least I didn't." "What... what's she look like?" " She looks..." "I could pick her out in a crowd." " Oh, yeah, that's love." " She made my computer run." " The..." "the computer-repair woman?" " l only hope I'm..." "I'm worthy." " Grant, how long have you known herfor?" "What has time got to do with love?" "What does last names have to do with love?" "Thanks fortelling me about it." "Good luck." "Gotta go." " How do I get her to go out with me?" "Well, you, um..." "You call her." " No." "Yes." " l can't talk to her on the phone." "Well, then write her a letter." " Only the phone company and my English aunt still write letters." " Have you tried telepathy, Grant?" " lt's too inaccurate -- might end up with a Martha or a Mary or... or a Mark." "You're gonna have to figure out where she goes and you're gonna have to go there." " l don't go anywhere." "Whoa." " Susannah won't listen to me." " Her job isn't listening to you;" "your job's listening to her." " She's looking for investment opportunities, right?" "You're not listening to me." " l got this great product." "You haven't changed, you know that?" " She blows me off." "Says she's too busy." "What the hell do you want me to do?" " l want you to talk to her." "You are a piece of work, you know that?" " l'm right about this." " Don't care who's right." "You're Susannah's clerk." "And you don't deserve that job." "So you want to keep it, you better start earning your keep." "You pay me $24,000 a year." " Let's hope you last that long." " Ohh..." " Take those boxes with you." " l'm not your clerk!" " lt's a present foryour kid!" "It's a drum kit for his birthday." " Sean turned nine last week." " Stick it in the closet till he's 10!" "You know who you remind me of?" "Nothing we discuss should be repeated." "Not to anybody." "Not to yourtherapist." "Not to your waiter." " l've got a big mouth, but I'm not an idiot." "All right." "Let's call and raise." "Top the Dorian bid." "You play poker?" " That surprises you?" " That's great, but you don't play very well." "You're bidding yourself out of the game." "Dorian's got deeper pockets." "Can't to go head to head." "It won't work." "Watch me." " Do you ever wonder why you're paying us an advisory fee on this?" "I don't think you're trying a company takeover;" "you're trying to destroy your mother!" " On this deal and in this room she is not my mother." "She's a CEO who's mismanaging a company." "Nail her." "What are you gonna do?" " l'm gonna become a monk." "They're still men, right?" "Yeah, as far as I know." " The woman plays poker. I still can't get through herthick skull." "You've never seemed to have problems" " Personally, no, not a problem, otherthan family." "Business -- huge problem!" " Hi." " Hi, guys." "Excuse me." "Sorry." " They're just people, Jack." " That's what they'd like us to think." " Because I'm a woman?" "Yeah." " Miss Ross, these arrived foryou." "Shall I place them in water?" " No, no, no, just..." "do whateveryou want with them." "Cosmetics company; because I know all about mascara and lipstick." "Would that be so crazy?" " Oh, no, no, no, just a little minimizing." " l need your expertise." "But not on that stuff." "I can't control Aileen London." " Control her?" " Uh... she can't get past her personal feelings." "And I have a particular expertise in that area." "Yeah." "No." "Uh... no." "Um... come o..." "I need your help." " Let's start by keeping the mother busy." "Marty, buy Dorian." "Wait, wait, we're not after Dorian, we're after Grenfeld Cosmetics." " Takeovertargets go up, companies that take them over tend to go down." "Think that was Newton's 4th law." " Dorian doesn't want Grenfeld Cosmetics." "They're only involved 'cause we are." "Well, that's kind of the definition of a white knight." " The client's into poker, right?" " But she won't use the cards she was dealt." "Your opponent bluffs." "Do you fold?" " Oh... go after Dorian." " Client couldn't afford Grenfeld, she can't afford Dorian." "We're not buying." " lt's a bluff." " Dorian's on the block, people." "Buy, buy, buy." "Make big noises, Chris." "Just keep hitting every ask." "Trickle it back out very quietly." "Get what you can." "Yeah... ha, bluff." "You here to congratulate me on blocking Jack's bid for Grenfeld Cosmetics?" " Here to offeryou a job." "You're certainly handling this with maturity." "Well, it's a perfect fit, lan." "You've certainly experienced bank ownership first-hand." "Outstanding track record." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm great." "I thought Larkin was your point man in corporate finance." "Ah, Larkin's a loose cannon." "I think it's time we considered investing in a... higher grade of investment banker." " Turned down the bank deal, did he?" " l'm just sick of his antics." "What are they prepared to offer me?" "Well, I think it's pretty safe to count on a... 30% bump on your current position." "Atwo-year guarantee." " Has the bank given approval to this?" " Not yet, but I don't think it's gonna be a problem." "Well, if they like Larkin, they'll love me." "I was handling the Grenfeld Cosmetics defence almost before Jack knew there was an offence." "Spotted some peculiartrading." " No, the trade was clean." "I checked it myself." " Somebody invested 800 bucks in Grenfeld Cosmetics." "Yeah, somebody invested a hell of a lot more than that." " Not this person." "The interesting thing wasn't the amount so much as who." " Ha, you're really enjoying this, aren't you?" "Very much." "One of your employees opened an account with one of our brokers." "That's the sort of thing that catches my interest." " l'm sure it would." " l figured your person knew there was something up over at Grenfeld Cosmetics." "Ah, I see, so you hightailed it overto Lynette and threw yourself across the barricades, huh?" "What was the name?" " Cathy Blake." " Cathy..." "Oh, my God." "Amused?" "Yeah, very." " That's Jack's sister." "I want a 45% bump and a three-year guarantee." "Yeah, well, we'll certainly get back to you, lan." "Well, stay in touch." " Okay, give me everything you got." "Okay, we got 50,000 Grenfeld." "Do you want me to keep buying more?" "Well, if it's not too inconvenient." "They're seeing me coming a mile away." "We're getting reamed." " Good." " Buy high, sell low." "This some new strategy?" " Buy loud, sell quiet." "What are you supposed to be doing?" " Selling." "And how do we sell?" " Quietly." " Then shut up!" " But thanks to Chris, everyone knows we're on the buy side." " That's kind of the idea, Benny." "Try New York, try London," "Try..." "Buenos Aires." " They have an exchange there?" " Find out." "Find out!" "You, uh, finally lost it, Marty?" " Play with your dolls, will you?" "Leave me alone." "Benny!" "What's happening?" "Give me the news." " l don't know." "Well, learn --fast." " l can't." " Marty..." "Just hold on." " My computer is locked here." "Whateverthat is, it happened to mine too." " No... no." " God..." "We just tucked half our capital away in cyberspace." " Get me the TSE 300!" "Get me Reuters." "Get me the TSE 300!" " Get out of here!" "I've got business." "You're on another network, but you're part of this floor." "Buying Dorian is a priority." " Not to my clients!" " l still only have one working unit." " l know, everything looks right." "You know, unless these things are desk lamps, it strikes me that everything is not right!" "You know, it's not close to right!" "It's downright wrong!" "Make them work!" " Nice talking to you, Manny." " Seidelman!" "This is no time to be socializing." "Just bought another 5,000 Dorian, Mart." "Your computer's up?" " Nah, it's like the old days in the exchange before these boob tubes were invented --ticker and phone." " Ticker's behind the market." "You don't know the price." " So?" "Hey, craterhead, how you stocked on Dorian?" "I'll buy at an eighth below." " Eighth below what?" " Shut up!" "They don't know, Benny doesn't." "Yeah, done." "Right. I'll take it at..." "Okay." "Thanks." "10 3/8." " 10 3/8!" "Okay, you got the actual price now, you toads." "Stop harassing Ayn." "Do as Benny does." " l don't believe this." "We're bluffing our way through a bluff." "You love what you do, huh?" " lt's my last deal and it's cursed!" "What's going on?" "[Sally sighing]" " Computers are down." " Buying Dorian, okay." "Oh, no, I'm buying Dorian." " l can come back, if this is any" " No, no, no, no, no." "I said I'm buying Dorian." "I'll take it." "Well, no, no, no." "You can do better." "Mm." "No, no." "Which one?" " Hmm, number 2, definitely." "Done, definitely." " Um..." "What is that?" " lt's a macaroni challenge." "All macaroni tastes the same." "I didn't say I didn't want any." "Buying Dorian." " l only meant to disable mine." " Fix it." "Grant, this is sabotage." " lt's a desperate flare of love." " Grant, please." "Write her a poem." " l cannot do it." "I can rhyme a little bit." " Grant!" "Okay." "Okay, you got what you want." "She's out there." "You can go talk to her." " Out there on the floor?" " Grant, you're messing up a major deal." "What's money compared to love?" "Nothing." "Zero, zip, n/ente, nada, diddly, goose egg." " That's a terrible price." "That's also a terrible price." "Well, okay, I'll take that." " Tastier?" " Creamier." "You want some?" " No, thanks." "Ah, Magda?" "Are you, uh, you Magda?" " Leave her alone, Donald." " Come with me, please." " l've got work to do." " Grant Jansky wants to go out with you." " No." "Yeah." "Just, please." " Um, he didn't say anything." " He can't." "Come on." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Get back there, right" " No, the defect in the system is of an emotional nature." " Oh, well, I'm phoning security." " Go, go." " Come here, come here!" "Argh!" " Mmm, tried the macaroni challenge?" " Shut up." " How about the kiss-my-butt challenge?" " That I've tried." " Black hole, squat, r/en, none." "Opposite of a lot, less than a little." "Big doughnut hole..." " Hi." " He says hi." " l really should get back on the floor." " No, no, no." " Uh, no." "I..." "I... um, don't go." "Ask her, Grant." "Ahem..." "Wou... wou..." "Wou..." "Wou... wou..." " l'd love to." " Great, great, okay." "Let's uh" "When?" " Tomorrow's no good." " No, no, Friday." " l'm sorry?" " Friday, Friday." "It's Friday, Friday?" "Friday's good foryou?" "Yeah." " Friday?" "Grant?" "Grant." "Fix the damn computers." "[sighing]" " Thank you." " Of course I'm not calling you a liar." "No, no, I can see it right here." "It's, uh, it's right here in front of me, here." "Yeah, have I ever told you the one about the stockbroker named One-eyed Pete?" "Yeah..." "Come on, come on, come on." "All right, all right." "Done at 5/8." "Hang on." "Ah, jeez, he smoked me!" "Uh, One-eyed Pete, he slept with your wife." "Word to the wise." "The street knows we're on the blink." "What's your positions?" " Beats the hell out of me." " l'm not even sure of some of the prices I paid." " l sold some stuff we don't own." " Hey, Marty." " Not now." "And have Donald killed." "Yeah, okay." "Listen, uh... report came over Reuters five minutes ago." "Dorian withdrew a bid for Grenfeld." "Uh, they bought the bluff." " Five minutes ago?" "Yeah. ls that good?" " Oh, that's very good, yes." "Clean this mess." "Benny, good work." " Hey, thanks." " Hey, you can have my macaroni." "Hey, I already did." " l hope the Dorian thing didn't put too big a dent in our war chest." " l have no idea." " None whatsoever." " $3,487,229." " How the hell do you know that?" " Computer is working." " Ha, ho, ho!" " 87% found it significantly tastier." "50% identified the creaminess." "12% described it as more velvety." "That was Benny." " This is not scientific data." "Oh, I got that too." "The company went public 12 months ago. lt's based in" " This is really gonna have to wait." " lt cant!" " lt can't?" " Theirfirst annual report is being released today at 3:00." "The stock is barely trading at book value." "If the sales results are anywhere near what I think, it's got to go up." " l would like to see Miss Ross." "Anton Lieben." " l'm sorry, Mr. Lieben, but she's not in today." " Thank you foryourtime." "You're welcome." "What did you think you were doing?" "We bought and sold some stock." "If Dorian thought they were playing, too bad." " lt must have cost your client a bundle." " No more than your knight cost yours." " l have a proposal which will avoid these" "As of today, your client's dismissed from her post as vice president at Grenfeld Cosmetics." " ln a week my client's gonna be CEO!" "Lynette is prepared to spend Aileen's inheritance fighting forthe company." " Ha!" "Jack, I want to be able" "Aileen's instructed me to divide up the company to pay forthe damn financing." "We don't intend to pass the company on to your client." "You think minority shareholders will buy it?" " Gentlemen!" "This meeting is adjourned." "What was that all about?" "You tell me." " He was out of line." "You were better?" " That's what our client wants." " lt's not what she needs." "Well, it's what they're paying us for." "You should have no trouble working forthe bank." " Buying Grenfeld at a half." "Marty, Marty. 70,000 at 7/8?" " Overpriced is no object." " Done." " Uh, selling Dorian." "Yeah, I know." "But now I'm begging you to buy it." "No, no, I said "beg," not "grovel."" "Done at 3/8." " How many did you unload?" " 10,000." "Yeah, well, start grovelling." "Argh, that the Lord had not raised his hand against insidertrading." "Ha, I could make a fortune on Grenfeld." " Oh, Jack and Dantzer are pretty even match." "You couldn't possibly know which way it's gonna go." "Yeah, well, I'm talking long-term." " Oh, five minutes?" " Five months." "Whoever wins is gonna have to do it by tearing that company apart:" "price shares, boom, right through the floor." "It's obvious, a family feud." "Well, you know the old adage:" ""Beware the obvious."" " No, I know the one, uh..." ""finders keepers, losers weepers."" "Hmm?" " Private word, Jack?" "Ah, you can have any word you want, Adam." "Can you pass me those gloves?" "Didn't think so." "You're not going anywhere." " Take it like a man, Adam." " lan Dantzertold me why he was able to scoop you on the Grenfeld deal." "Seems that your sister was guilty of insidertrading." "[chuckling]" "You believed him?" " Of course not. I checked." "But don't worry about Dantzer." "It's in his best interest to be discreet." "But it's not in mine." "You quit, your sister goes to jail." "You agree to a 3-year lockup with the bank, that information never leaves this room." "Yes, yeah." "Have you read it?" "Well, read it and then call me, okay?" "Yeah, nail-polish and hairspray divisions, John." "Yeah." "Check the demographics." "You can't go wrong." "Okay." "Yes, okay, bye." "What are you doing?" " Hello?" "Marching orders." "Selling off divisions of Grenfeld Cosmetics." "We don't even own it." " Once we own it, we sell it." "Most of it, anyway." " Paying off the debt with the bones of the company." "Yeah." "Probably." "[dring!" "]" "Hello?" "Where the hell is Jack?" "You're late." " Hey." "You took advantage of your position." " Oh, you guys mix the pudding and you get a million-dollar spoon." "What the hell are you talking about?" " l made $700, Jack." " l don't care how much money you made." " Oh, you you can afford not to care." "Well, not in my world." "Hey, look at what you do, Jack, huh?" "You don't create anything." "You play with what other people created, then ride on their glory." " Listen to me!" " No!" "You broke the law!" " So turn me in." "Have me arrested because I played in your sandbox." "You're gonna cancel your account with lan Dantzer." "you're gonna go to Susannah, and you're gonna tell her you're quitting." "And you're going to be out of here by the end of the day." "Get off your hands." " Uh, Sally is..." " l thought you wanted my help on this deal." "Yes, I want your help when I have a problem." "I don't have a problem now." " This deal's driven by personal animosity." " l'm putting it on a business footing." " Try emotional quicksand." "It's swallowed you and Dantzer." " Should I leave?" " No!" "This is business." "What was the last time those two were together?" " That's the problem with this deal." "It's already way too personal." " No." "The problem is it's not personal enough." "We have to be-- [classical music playing]" "Oh, God." "What the hell's that?" " Must be some new efficiency thing." "Well, it's not working." " lt's for my date." " Grant, your date's in three days." "You're making a fool of yourself." " l know." " Upstairs." " E-e-e-e-excuse me." "I, uh, I've got a date." "Um, d-d-d-do you guys charge by the, uh, by the hour?" " l'm trying to run a business." "You stroll in here in the middle of the day with a bunch of musicians..." " l wanted to talk to you." " l obviously didn't want to." "You can't force me." " l love you." " l can't pretend your wife doesn't exist." "I can't pretend that you" "We're not talking about my wife." "Do you love me?" " No, we're not talking about whether I love you or not." "You lied to me." "Yes, I did." "And I'm so sorry." "Sally..." "Do you love me?" " No." "No, I don't." "No, I don't love you." " Perhaps... we are now even." "[dring!" "]" "Yes." "Aileen London is at reception." "Ah..." "Miss Grenfeld." " l expect an explanation of the emergency that requires my client's presence." " Please, come this way." " ls this your idea of fun, ambushing other people's clients?" " No, actually, my idea of fun is letting Larkin tear apart your client's company." "He's in his office." " l'll join you in a moment." " This meeting is long overdue." "We can communicate perfectly well through our advisers." " l couldn't agree more." "We've already lined up buyers foryour European skin-care products!" "[lan Dantzer]:" "Too bad!" "We've got a legal opinion on our rights issue." "You'll never get through the door." "A poison pill will be approved by the board first thing in the morning." "This deal is simply out of your price range." " ln orderto finance this transaction, I will have to sell off a number of your more obsolete divisions." "Something I intended to do at any price." " Let's cut the crap, shall we, ladies?" "Sit down, Lynette." "Aileen?" "This isn't about business." "This is about some problem in your past, some major dysfunction or perhaps a minor dysfunction." "And I..." "I don't need to know." "But I know you'd better solve it." "When the guys in the next room are through, you'll be left with nothing." "And I'm not just talking about business." "What a load of sentimental drivel." " Totally." " l don't doubt that you put her up to this." "I'm firm in my commitment to Grenfeld." " No one would be foolish enough to think you were capable of softening up on anything." " Don't make this personal." " l'm not the one prepared to sell to anyone but my daughter." "When you grow up, you'll get it." " l'd have to pry it away from you even if you were dead." "You're a child, Aileen." "That is exactly why" "You can't admit I'm an adult, because you'll have to admit that you're old." " How dare you." "You're old." "Yourtime has passed you by." "You have no respect for anything I've ever done foryou." " For me?" "You've never done anything for me." " They're yelling at each other." " l know." "You don't have a problem with that?" "You yell at each other constantly." " That's business." " This is personal." " That's better?" " Much." "Are you still betting against the future of Grenfeld Cosmetics?" " Naturally." " Care to make it interesting?" " Oh, ho, ho." "500 interesting?" "You're on." "I..." "I didn't mention, did I, the Grenfeld dynasty are actually meeting face to face?" "I predict a reconciliation." " l already know that." "Jacks says they're screaming at each other." " Oh." " The yelling stopped." " Should we?" "Afteryou." " Oh, they'll tell us when they're ready." " Sally?" " They're ready." "Let's go." "We've reached certain accommodations." "First, I'm bringing Aileen back onto the board," "Which, of course, means" " No takeover bid." "We're not finished yet." "We've decided that Grenfeld Cosmetics must grow." "While maintaining its core franchise." " But primarily, ourfocus will be on growth." " No, primarily, ourfocus will be on maintaining what brought this company-  ... to the brink of disaster?" "We can work out the business details later." " The company was built on a sound foundation." "Which is why it can survive a difference of opinion." "We still have some matters to discuss, so if you don't mind." "Sally..." " She always like this?" " She's no worse than your client." " Not the clients, your boss." " Oh, yeah, she's always like that." " lt's good karma." "Lousy business." " Not really." "They want us to acquire Dorian lndustries." " Ha-ha!" "Jointly?" "Good karma." "Good business." " Something to consider, I guess." " Susannah." " Sorry, Cathy, we've got a full shareholders' meeting in two minutes." " l can't work here any more." "It's... it's not right for me." " No, you're great." " l got another job offer." "It starts right away." "More money." "I know, I should have given you notice but..." " Oh, can I have more macaroni?" " Knock yourself out." " l owe you on this." "Made 50k on that recommendation." " Congratulations." " No wonder you got another job offer." " So we have an offer of $32 a share to purchase Gardner/Ross and we need a majority decision from the shareholders to ratify it." "So I vote yes." "Grant?" " l..." "I abstain." " Susannah?" "Yes." "And Chris?" " No." " Marty?" "Yes." " Sally?" " l vote no." " Uh, what did you say?" " l no longer believe that the sale to the bank is in my best interest." "We grow or die." "There's no options." " lssue our own stock." "Go public." " lt's brilliant." "You'd like anything overthe bank sale." " True." "We retain our independence while creating a pool of capital that will keep us competitive." " Dantzer can handle the issue." "Yeah." "He's a shark, Jack." "Yeah." "What do we do with this new capital?" " Uh, big bonuses all around." " Shut up." "We purchase a merchant bank." "It's where the profits are." "I want Gardner/Ross to be there before the banks clue into that fact." " l love it." "Who's gonna fix the computers?" " Uh, shut up." " This is a very bad business decision." " lt's a good decision." " l love what I do." " Margaret called from Tucson." "She said she saw a beautiful ranch home, just a few blocks from her." "It has a garden and a view." " The deal collapsed." " lt's okay." " l don't know, ljust wanted... I was hoping..." " l know." "It's all right, dear." "I love the snow." "I'd miss it." " l'm sorry."
