"there's nothing you could do." ""Everything happens for a reason." "Your dad sounds like he was full of shit." "With all due respect." "perhaps." "You really believe that?" "You really think that there's some... with our fate all figured out?" " I don't know about a preordained chart..." " That's a bunch of crap." "they commit acts... and that makes things happen." "And it creates a snowball effect with the... causes other people to make decisions." "snowball keeps rolling. it's not some bullshit fucking test sent down from the universe you know." " Okay."

" I don't know what you're talking about." "what do you mean by "homely"?" "thoughtful..." " Get him." " And nurturing..." "Yeah." "Backpedal." "I'm gonna take Wendy's advice and reel it back." "take Wendy's advice. he was always the first person at the hospital or at least the second." " Yeah." " Or the..." " the fourth or the fifth..." " Top five." "But it totally just... just offsets the time when he made that speech at our wedding just to make sure that the maid of honor knew what room he was in." "I..." "I had a suite." "I'm going to the street fair tomorrow morning." "Would you please come with me?" "Oh." "I..." "I would really like that." "Thank you." "hit the links." "are you practicing your swing?" "that did not..." " I did find something." " You did?" "you see here... this column right here." "right? the decimal number is rounded up to an even number." "Meaning? it all sort of... it leads me to believe that maybe half of these accounts are... are casuistic." "please." "you know?" "uh... if these false accounts weren't planted a test for potential money managers." "And if that wasn't the case?" "That would take me to the second point. but it seems that someone could be skimming off of half of these accounts." "Stealing from me? otherwise you wouldn't be here." "Yes." "Yes." "this is exactly the kind of care and detail you're gonna want. but I think it's pretty obvious that my best asset is the fact and no other firm in Chicago employs him." "Would you like to work together?" "I think that we..." " I was asking Mr. Byrde." "Okay." "Okay." "my client list is full." " I'm sorry to hear that." " Mm." "though." "but I..." "I so appreciate you coming in and it was a pleasure to meet you." "At least let me repay you for your thoughtful analysis." "My pleasure." " You sure?" " Mm." "Yeah." "we have partnerships with resorts all over the world." "Perhaps you and yours would like to join us for a long weekend?" "it's a nice offer." "It's just..." "It's not a great time for me." "Mr. Del Rio." " Have a nice day." "are you... are you fucking crazy?" "That was like finding a winning lottery ticket and you just sent him walking." "We have no idea what his affiliations are." "now you're profiling." "No." "conscientious Marty?" "He tiles." "He works in grout." "His portfolio looked a bit more diverse than tile." "Okay." "Do you know who you are?" "You're the guy who makes everyone late to the party 'cause you have to pick up your ear medication." "That's good." " Hm." " That's a good one." "Yeah." "dude." "whoa!" "you couldn't wait for us?" "It's not heavy." "Scotty." " How are you?" "of course." "Here." "Here." "Isn't it beautiful?" "so they let me take it." "as hard as you work for them." "I need the money." " Wait." "For what?" " For what?" "You can't buy squat with smiles." "didn't you?" "he's got some cockamamy idea." "I don't know." "right?" "They're all called "drinking." "Both he and grandpa." "this? and you... this one." "We're leaving for a fishing trip after we drop off your table." "Thank you for getting him out of the house." "Oh." "Here it comes." "My mathlete son." "you do realize you have to stand in a river for hours in rubber coveralls?" " They're called waders." " They're called waders." "Oh." "Whatever." "So is this it?" "'Cause we're gonna go back to your place" " and then get on the road." " Hang on." "I will do it." " Hang on." "my God." "She's out of her mind." "Ma?" "don't put any weight on it." "okay?" " I'm okay." "Come on." "Give me your arm." "All right." "two..." " Okay." "Okay." "You drive." " Yeah." "Just watch her leg..." "Watch her leg." "Here we go." "Easy." " Hello?" " Join me downstairs for a drink." "Uh... lounge closed?" "Not to us." "Okay." "See you in a bit." "To a winning round of golf." " I picked a good partner." " Yeah." "Mmm." "$175 a drink." "I..." "I have a feeling this is about more than golf." "Marty." "Or feed it." "You nor Wendy." "Elena adores." "I think she's gonna leave me for her." "I wouldn't be surprised." "Wendy talked to her about what happened." " The accident." " Yeah." "We went through something similar." "It really shook us." "I'm sorry." "but... or... "Everything happens for a reason." "but..." "I need you to work for me." "To clean your money." "You will be able to earn enough to afford your great-great-grandkids' tuition." "You know how it works." "and... then you look over here and it's different." "it changes." "uh..." "You know..." "What?" "The risks? but you only really have to worry about the risks if you are careless or dumb." "And you're neither." "Let me be frank." "My boss tasked me to find a pristine money guy." "So whoever I choose... can be a risk." "Who's your boss?" "I'm sure." "There's top firms that deal with discreet clients all the time and..." "I took that portfolio to 50 investors." "Either they didn't catch any discrepancy or they were just too fucking scared to..." "to speak up." "but who also has integrity." "my friend..." "is the shield to greed and vanity." "you want somebody with integrity to do a job where they have to discard their ethics." "Are you talking about societal ethics or your own?" "probably both." "You know... right?" " Okay." "So then what job would you take?" " Big Tobacco?" " No." "JP Morgan?" "What's the difference?" "The latter plays in a market that already exists. you can see a way around the clash of ethics?" "I would contend that this is a little bit more of a complex issue." "fair enough." "So let's say there wasn't a social contract." "What are your ethics?" "The one thing that trumps all the others?" " To protect and provide for my family." " Exactly." "You will be able to provide." "More than you can possibly dream." "Marty." "And we will protect you." "But there's one thing I ask." " No Bruce." " Bruce?" "Bruce started the company." "Bruce is my best friend since college. is the same thing that John Q. Public needs to feel confident to give him his money." "And I would need those funds to wash anything with zero detection." "he... he wouldn't have any reason to deal with your accounts at all." "huh?" "Yeah." "Is it me or do you sound like someone who wants the gig?" "No." "That's just the way my brain works." "Just playing out the scenario." "In another world... possibly." "the..." "the one that's reality..." "Wendy would never go for it." "And I can respect that." "Trust me." "Cheers. moving millions in and out of shell companies overseas." "sir." "Jesus." "Look..." "we're going after bin Laden." "There's a dealer every three blocks in this city." "No one is fighting a war on drugs anymore." "All right?" "Just work the banking." "Money guys like Zehner are the way to get to the kingpins." "Agent Petty." "You..." "I'm just a fucking accountant." "You're not just an accountant." "it's on top of the microwave." "Maybe it's not just work that's causing the stress." "Well..." " Does it bother you that she's still here?" " No." "I just..." "I know how you two are with each other sometimes." "she either recovers here or flops around at her place." "And then I have to check on her every day." "Every day?" "okay." "you're shouldering a lot right now." "it's just..." "This is not what I pictured when I wanted to be a federal agent." "Okay." "I'm... for fuck's sake." "There is so much more I could be doing." "then transfer." " It's not that easy." "life is too short to be miserable." "And too short for you to have to hear about it every day?" "Yeah." "Ma?" "Much better." "I'll be out of your hair in no time." "Why are you putting on makeup? - next to my sneakers." "Thank you." " Okay." "sweetheart." "Perfect." "sweetheart." "What's a job interview?" "A job interview is when..." "It's when we... where did she go to school and where she worked before." "And they would be absolute morons not to hire you. they will give her money to work with them." "you won't be here as much." "sweetheart..." "I will always be here for you. you can always call me and I will always call you back." "Okay?" "Such a mommy's girl." "I need your help today." "all right?" "Make sure that he's really good with Jonah." "Okay." " You got this." " Okay." "too." " I love you." "Bye." " Right here." "Right here!" " Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Fine." "Here." "I'll come pick you up." "What time?" "I don't know." "I'll manage." "Love you." "girl." " Hey." "Uh..." " Come on in." "man?" " Tell my mom to come outside." "I'll call when I leave!" " Mom." "What the fuck?" " Jesus!" "Get the fuck out of here!" "No." "Give me that fucking shit." "stop it!" "fuck!" "Wait." "Where do you keep it?" "stop it!" "Stop it!" " Jesus!" " Wait!" " Stay the fuck away from me." " Hey." "Stop." " Ma!" "Ma!" " Don't you fucking touch me!" "Wait!" "Just stop! I'll tell your bosses you assaulted me." " What the fuck is wrong with you?" " You!" "Stay the fuck away from me!" "Fuck!" "you ready?" "Time for bed." "Let's go." "just one more?" " Mm-mm." "But I'm thirsty." "I need water." "huh?" "sweetheart?" "We can read a story before bed." "I want Daddy to do it." "Daddy'll do it." "Let's go." "Right." "Mommy." "Night-night." "There you are." " I'm sorry." " You don't need to be." "I'm getting better." "I am." "And..." "I know I'm..." "I'm very aware that I've been... and from you." "I just..." "I can't..." "I can't shake this feeling." "Did you know I used to break into houses as a kid?" "You what?" "Mmm." "I'd..." "I'd have a beer or two." "So I guess I did... but... it was so liberating." "Just feeling like someone else." "I would... and..." "I'd feel the... just this clean fabric underneath my... it was just... it was so comfortable." "And..." "And then I'd be hit with the hard reality that I didn't belong there." "I just didn't belong there." "And so I'd..." "I'd act out a little bit." "I'd..." "I'd..." "I'd turn toothbrushes upside down." "I'd put blue food coloring in the milk." "lately... that's how I've been feeling." "Just like a fraud." "And that's been happening since before the accident." "because... I can't even do that." "and... fat..." "existential mess." "Hey." "Do you wanna go somewhere?" " Where?" " On vacation." "On our budget? and he offered a trip." "it sounds like there are strings attached." "No." " It's a thank you." " For?" "I looked through his portfolio." "So why is this potential client not an actual client?" "and I don't know if he is." "I don't..." "Corleone with olive oil..." "I don't know." "are you saying this guy's in the Mob?" "I don't know what the hell he is." "But it's... it's honestly a thank you. the trip would just be a drop in the bucket." "And what are you gonna do when he asks you to work for him again? I prefer not to." "Come on." "We need a vacation. what's the big deal?" "Didn't you always want me to be more spontaneous?" " Hmm?" "This is it." " Mmm." "Come on." "Say yes." "it could." "dude." " Then don't say anything." "exactly?" " Huh?" " What do you do for Del?" "Don't we all do the same shit?" "Hmm?" "Put the money through the fucking washer?" "Remind me to never doubt your instincts." "buddy." "dude." "I'm talking about Del." "Oh." "Him." "I don't know." " You don't know what?" " You know." "are you?" "but..." "But... but what?" "that's..." "that's what I do." "you know?" " Right." " And... and... ran their mouth." "me?" " Right." "Really?" "Are you kidding me?" "I know what cartels do." "I've fucking seen Traffic." "I'm..." "I'm down for whatever." "All right?" "But it really doesn't matter because you have this kind of remarkable habit of telling your wife everything." " And she'll never go for it." " That's what I told him. but eventually she's gonna notice the extra zeros in the bank account." "All right?" "Bloody Mary bar." "Sweet." "hello." "How are you feeling?" " Like I'm about to go on tour." " The back bedroom is all set up." "Mm." "Does he still snore like a baby dinosaur?" "if you want." "I put some earplugs on your nightstand." "where should I put your prescription?" "In the trash." "I'll be fine with ibuprofen." "What I really need is a porcelain toilet." "I'm gonna scream." "okay." "I put bars up in there for you." "And don't forget the doctor said to keep it elevated." " It's nice here." " Mm-hmm." "dayspa." "How can I help you?" "uh... and it's exactly what we thought it was." "we knew that was probably gonna happen." "You tell him no?" "Marty?" "What'd you say?" "you know..." "I don't know." "There something you wanna discuss?" "No." "I don't think so." "You sure?" "I don't know." "I would do it... really well." "of course you would." "I'm sure that it is." "is it?" "uh... right?" "Just talking." "Just Talking." "Play it out." "Name the pros." "obviously." " Mm-hmm." " I could really grow the business." "I could trade at the level I've always wanted." "Okay." "So how much money are we talking about?" "Wendy..." "We'd be good." "Good as in...?" "ever having to worry about money again." "Ever." "Wow." "Cons?" " Jail." " Mm." "pissing off a cartel." "Those things would never happen." "And I wouldn't be a mule." "I wouldn't be a dealer." "I'd be just pushing my mouse around my desk." "What does Bruce think? he was counting on you shutting it down instantly." "he doesn't know me like you do." "Mm-mm." "He doesn't." "I mean..." " it's not like you'd be stealing." " That's right." "I wouldn't." "We can't..." "We can't do this." " Can we?" " Why can't we do it?" "You really gonna do this?" "Are we gonna do this?" "Well..." "I'm good with it if you are." "Same here." "Then I guess we're really gonna do this." " Yeah?" " Hmm?" " We're gonna do it?" " Mm." " Hmm?" " Mm." "I guess so." "Yeah." "Okay." " Ma." " Yeah?" "take these." "Just so you can sleep." "Ma." "Everyone in this world knows you're tough." "You don't have to prove anything here." "I said no." "I don't want them." "there's no prizes for suffering." "You just feel shitty." "And I hate seeing you like this." "Please... please..." "For me." "here." "No fucking way!" " I think science would disagree." " You were in the room." "You heard them say that the... the chances of us conceiving again were practically nil." "And I barely made it through Jonah's pregnancy." "Yeah." "I remember." "What are you thinking?" "That I'd like to do whatever you want to do." "come on." " It's true." "that's not fair." "This is not Switzerland." "You can't stay neutral here." "I want your input." "Wendy... it could be tough." "I don't actually see how'd we manage." "we said the same thing with Jonah." "no." " No." " So..." "So..." "So you're saying you want to have it?" "I didn't say that." "that we could make it work." "of course." "Of course." "I know." "would I ever go back to work again?" "I just don't see how that could happen." "And that's just something I..." "I need to do." "Yeah." "You should." "You have every right to. we should... we should've done it." "Mm." "What if this baby would grow up to cure cancer or something?" "You hear stories like that all the time." "All those stories about all those babies curing cancer." "you know what I mean." " There's like 12 of them." "People who say that they were an accident." "I was an accident." "Would I be a terrible person if I said I didn't wanna have this baby?" "sweetheart." "You'd never be a terrible person." "everything would change again." "I was just feeling like my feet were back on the ground. can potentially elicit a huge change around the world." "for example." "♪ When you say goodbye ♪ that'll be the day When you make me cry ♪ fuck!" "watch out." "Hey." "Hey." "um... we're in." "This calls for a drink." "uh..." "Louis?" "Your services are no longer needed." " What are you talking about?" "Del?" "Del?" " I didn't know I was taking his job. because he's a cheat." "He cheats on his wife and in business." "He even cheats in golf." "And cheaters eventually get caught." "I don't know what you're talking about." "And it's become clear to me... the very real possibility that you've been working with the feds." "I didn't talk to any..." "Stop!" "Stop." "I'm a believer that there are times when things are related in the universe." "What do they call it in that movie with the dinosaurs?" "right." "Chaos. which caused you to make some piss-poor attempt to cover your tracks." "Which allowed a shrewd person like Marty Byrde to identify your shoddy work and thieving ways. huh? and a bit of good luck." "Louis." "funny place no!" "God!" "Jesus Christ!" "What d'you want me to do with 'em?" "Save them for a rainy day." "You don't know how wonderful it is to have someone on board that I can trust."
