"Get down, for God's sakes." "What?" "Jenkins, you're a good kid." "How long you been with the company?" "Two years this May, sir." "I started this company 45 years ago." "Built this empire with my own bare hands, and I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, either." "I started out in my father's toolshed." "I won't lie to you." "I had to claw my way to the top." "Might have stepped on a few fingers and toes." "Heck, may have even slit a few throats along the way." "But that's business." "I forged this corporation with my own blood and sweat, and it cost me two marriages, one heart attack, and every weekend of my life to get this company where it is today." "And this morning, I walk into my office and the sons of bitches over at Bergman Sachs put a sniper on the roof." "Come again, sir?" "A sniper." "Trained killer specializing in long distances, quiet, stealthy, but above all else, patient." "Sir, I don't think they would put a sniper on their roof." "Sure, they would." "It's the right move." "They don't want this merger to go through any more than the Kyazukis, but they've got the cojones to actually do something about it." "That's why they're number two." "But let me show you why we're number one." "Slide me that case behind the couch." "You see, business is all about being able to adapt." "You got to learn how to roll with the punches." "I'm gonna need you to pop up and give me a 20 on him." "What?" "I know he's on the 75th floor, but I can't figure out if he's the third or fourth window from the left." "Uh, okay." "Now, don't worry." "He's got a bead on me, so if you're quick, he won't have enough time to readjust." "Now." "Go." "Oh, my God." "You're right!" "Oh, my God." "You're right!" "Holy smokes." "He's third window from the left." "Julie, could you send in one of the interns, please?" "You see, everything worthwhile takes sacrifice." "You'd be good to remember that." "You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs." "More coffee, sir?" "Jesus!" "Oh, my God!" "You see, it takes about 3 1/2 seconds to reload and trace another target, which gives me an adequate window to fire off a couple rounds." "Pure business." "And...." "Oh, my God." "That is a kill." "You see, patience and sacrifice yield rewards." "Business." "[ Intercom beeping ]" "That's probably them now." "Intercom:" "It's Bergman Sachs on the phone." "I'll bet they want to talk." "Calvin, you son of a bitch." "Nice try with that sniper." "Yeah, you took out one of my coffee boys." "I'll bet." "I scooped his head clear off." "Now let's get down to brass tacks." "This merger's going through whether you like it or not, but how much is it gonna cost to keep you from tying things up in the trade commission?" "Flash bomb." "Jesus, God!" "Jenkins, quiet down." "I'm on the phone." "1 OO/o is robbery, and you know that." "Meredith didn't even get 50/o in the prenup." "What I'm saying is 50/o domestic, 10/o international, and that's my final offer." "[ Sirens wailing ]" "You still there?" "I'll bet we have a deal." "All right." "Say hello to the missus for me." "I'll see you on the greens." "Business." "Plain and simple." "Now, what was it that you came in here for?" "Um..." "My brother's getting married in two weeks and I was wondering if I could have that Friday as a vacation day." "Would you sign my slip?" "No." "NARRATOR:" "He was the greatest conductor the world had ever known, commanding powerful performances all over the globe." "Until one day, in a tragic car accident, his arms were ripped from his body." "Now, after years of rehabilitation, the unfortunately named Buttfart Rapedick will take the stage once more to lead the Philadelphia Philharmonic in Ludwig van Beethoven's classic 7th Symphony."

"Yes, sir?" "I need that SLX report." "SLX." "You know, I don't have it, sir." "Come again, Trumeter?" "Well, the numbers from the Foster's account haven't come back, and Wendy's " "Trumeter, are you familiar with the term "bottlenecking"?" "Yes, sir, I am." "Bottlenecking is when the full productivity is halted by a person or a unit or a cog in a machine, like yourself, that is unable to continue the flow at the rate of the whole." "Do you understand that, Trumeter?" "l understand that, sir." "Trumeter, you are a bottlenecker." "The mechanism is bottlenecked by you, sir." "As soon as I get the numbers back, I'll have it to you as soon as possible." "As soon as possible?" "As soon as possible." "Why are you shaking your head?" "Are you lying to me?" "Answer me, cog!" "As soon as possible." "As soon as possible." "Good day." "Dude, you're a pussy." "What are you doing?" "I was in enough trouble as it was." "Whatever." "It's my first week on the lob." "I'm not gonna push over the boss while I'm getting chewed out." "Dude, let me explain something to you." "He likes that kind of shit." "That's his thing." "Believe me, he responds to it." "All right, check this out." "I didn't do my report either, and any second he's gonna come in here, he's gonna give me the same spiel he just gave you." "When he does, I need you to do me a solid, get down on your hands and knees and help me tip our boss over." "Dude, no." "Dude, do me a solid." "I don't feel comfortable with this." "Don't you fuck me on this!" "Cregger." "Yeah, Mr. Williams." "How many times am I gonna have to ask you for your SLX report?" "Yeah, Mr. Williams, it's like Trumeter said." "Wendy's sick." "I do not pay you to bottleneck, Cregger." "I pay you to be a working part in a machine." "Okay, now, if I have a pipe organ and one of the keys is faulty, Cregger, and I'm trying to play Mozart on it, it's gonna come out sounding like Blues Traveler, and I don't want to hear Blues Traveler." "I hate hippie music." "Do you understand that?" "Do you catch my drift, man?" "Yes, absolutely, Mr. Williams." "Okay, well, you're a good kid, Cregger." "I'm glad we had this talk." "Trumeter!" "Oh, God, no." "What in fuck's cunt are you doing on the ground?"

"No, man, you lust got to own it." "Did you see how I owned him with the tie thing?" "He was fucking with me, I fucked with him right back, and he respected me for it, right?" "Yeah." "That's how you got to handle him." "Okay, I'm gonna do you a solid." "I'm gonna send an e-mail from your account." "I'm gonna let him know that your SLX report is done and ready to be picked up." "When he comes in here, I'm gonna get on my knees, you shove him over, everything's gonna be copacetic." "No, dude, don't " "Send." "Glad to hear you're on the trolley, Trumeter." "Where's that SLX report?" "You know, sir " "Well, hand it over, Trumeter." "Well, I -- Just give me a moment." "I don't have a moment." "I have a company to run." "[ Cell phone rings ]" "What?" "Hello?" "Oh, God." "Sir...." "Well, Trumeter, it appears that wordplay can no longer properly express your insubordination, and you have decided that it has come to arms." "Be that as it may, I will have you know that I am very highly trained in the combative arts." "J I have a sensei and therefore, I accept your challenge." "I'm gonna fucking kill you." "Sir."
