" Screw the quarter point." "Take all he's got." " Marty, I've got 8 1/2 of 01." " No, we don't want them." " No, I mean we've got them." "And I mean we don't want them!" " Mm-hmm." "It's not going to rain?" "Where the hell is she?" "Excuse me, coming through." "Sorry, Donald." "Susannah?" " Sorry, Donald, crisis on the floor." " lncoming." " Marty, how short do you want me to go on this?" " So short they'll dig a hole to find you." "Where the hell's my phone!" " On your head." "Get out of Florida." " Storm missed it." " The entire state?" "How does a storm miss an entire state?" "Louis, coverthose shorts for me." "Jim, get those bonds." " But I thought you already want-  l barely got time to say things once." "Move it!" "I want to be drowning in orange juice when that bell goes." "We didn't know about this earlier?" "We knew before the street did." "When did you find out?" " l went straight to Susannah." "You can't talk foryourself now?" "You know that little delay cost us half a mil." " Marty, I got Vesper on the phone." " Hmm?" "Yeah, I know I sold it to you." "I want to buy it back." "Name a price." "Ha, ha, ha, not that price." " Okay, we've got an opening on coconut from Skelly's people here." "Coconuts, Marty." "We're looking for orange juice, you twit." " Coconut oil, suntan lotion." "Less rain, more tourists." "No reason they should get burned too." "Marty!" " Uh, yeah, nail 'em." "What the hell is he doing here?" " Larkin?" " Hey, Stephens, how you doing?" " Lousy." "Spent the whole morning shorting anything with pulp." "What's with the monkey suit?" " l got a meeting." " Ha, no kidding." "Like, uh... job interview?" "Yeah, something like that." "You know, you should stay in Vancouver." "You're a big fish there." " Bay Street will eat me alive?" "Yeah." " lf only I had your savvy." " Mr. Larkin, he's expecting you." " Thank you." "You know what, Stephens?" "I don't want your job." "Yeah, right." "You could put out some feelers, find some kind of a friendly saviour, probably retire very nicely." "But you won't do that." "Why exactly won't I?" "You never have before." "You're the last independent on the street." "Which means either you're stupid oryou value your independence as much as you value your money." "You aren't stupid, so you must be in trouble." "[knock-knock!" "]" " People have been saying that for close to 60 years." "We're still one of the most respected firms on the street." " This firm could use less respect and a few more deals." " l suppose that's where you come in?" "Yeah." "You're a trader." "You want Stephens's job, just say the word." "But look at yourself." "You can't even tie a Windsor knot." "You're simply not corporate finance material." " HotRocks." " Pardon me?" " Graykirk Mining International." " l know who they are." " Bring me in." "I'll land that deal." " Somebody's got Graykirk wrapped up tighterthan a drum -- nobody's getting near him." " He's in town." " So are lots of other people." "They're not going to hand you a multimillion-dollar deal." " He'll hand it to someone." " True, just not you." "What if he does?" "You get the deal, I'll buy you lunch." "And lastly, we've been approached by the investment Bank of Canada." "We told them six months ago we weren't interested in selling." " Four months ago and two months ago." "Come on, Adam, tell us something we don't know." " Pardon me, did I miss anything?" " No." "Adam's been talking to the bank again." " $26 per share." " That's almost three times book." "They can't be serious." " They want the name." "Jeez, that means I could come out of this with betterthan... wow." "And Susannah, she should have well over 50 bucks." " lt's not going to happen." " Cedric, I don't think we can" "What's the next item of business?" " l'm sure he'll just be another minute." "Would you like a coffee or mineral water?" " No." "What's the Securities Commission doing snooping around?" " Same thing they do around here at least once a month." "Word on the street is something big's gonna hit the fan, soon." " l hope you don't bite on every rumourthat our rivals spread." " l certainly don't believe any rumours we start." " lnvestigators have been here for overthree days." " They probably can't find their way out." "They're like pit bulls." "They're relentless, ugly and stupid." "I don't know about you." "I can't speculate what those jerks will do with ourfiles this month or any other month." " l'm sure the rest of you also have something betterto do." " lt's a fair offer." " lt's an excellent offer." "We might not get another one." " l don't want another one, but they'll be beating down our doors as long as this firm's alive." "Which is exactly why this might be theirfinal offer." " Look, Adam, you've made your position abundantly clear." "I thought I did the same." " l didn't expect intransigence on the issue." " Mr. Ross." " Mr. Morgan's with the Securities Commission." "He's been waiting for quite some time." " lt's very important that I talk to you." " l'm sorry, Mr. Morgan, I'm very late for an urgent meeting." "Speak to my secretary." "She'll see that you get an appointment." " This is an appointment." " l'm sorry." "By the way, Adam, 37 years of the same position doesn't necessarily indicate intransigence." "It just means that I'm right." " Say hello to Sally for me." " l will." "He's having lunch with his daughter." "At 7:30, stretch, the St. Dennis." "Got it." "Yeah, yeah, white stretch, I got it, I got it." " Since when do you have white stretches?" "We got some white interiors." "What are they gonna do, send it back?" "Hey, Larkin, they throw you out of Vancouver?" "Ah, they passed some kind of bylaw." "Hey, uh, what do you say to a chili dog?" " l'd say you need a favour." "Coverfor me, will you?" "So, uh, you're staying with your dad?" " The Hyatt." " Ooh, very nice." " l'm trying to break into the show." "Unfortunately, to do that I got to get hold of Gerald Graykirk." "This guy's been in town since Monday, and the blue bloods don't let me near him." " So, you're S.O.L." "[chuckling]" " There's always options." "The way I see it, the world's divided into two kinds of people:" "those who eat chili dogs and those who travel by limousine." "And you don't think this guy's into knockwurst?" " No." " Graykirk?" " Gerald." " Piece of cake." " Thanks." " How much are they paying you now?" " Enough." " l could start you out at six figures." " l'm an economist, Dad." "I like being an economist." "A brilliant economist, yeah." "You're making less than you made in a summer at Gardner-Ross." " On the other hand, I hated that summer." "At some point in your life, Sally, you're going to have to get your hands dirty." "You're an investment banker, Dad, not a farmer." "Are we going for lunch?" "What do I have to do to get you a real job?" " l'm paying." " l doubt it." "Yeah, hi, hello." "I'm calling from Mr. Graykirk's office." "Hello, I'm calling from Graykirk Mining." "Apparently, uh, Mr. Graykirk has a 4:30 meeting with Mr. Tremblay." "Ah, oh, I'm sorry." "did I say 4:00?" "Ah, oh, I must have the wrong" "Maybe I have the wrong time or something." "Did I say" "Tremblay, no, I meant Ellis." " Right." "No kidding." "Okay." "Great, thanks." " l'm calling for Gerald Graykirk concerning a" " Larkin?" " l'm sorry, can you hold for a second?" "I got another call." "What have you got?" " Friend of a friend over at Tower Limo." "Graykirk's had one of their best round the clock forthe last 2 1/2 days -- real player." "Had lunch with a federal cabinet minister." " ls he picking up the tab himself?" " Mm-hm, whole thing is courtesy of Brunswick Trust." "You want to talk to him?" "He's spending most of his time overthere." " They won't usher me in." "Where else has he been?" " The tourist haunts orthe more interesting venues?" " How interesting you got?" " l got fascinating." " Hang on a sec." "I'm sorry, wrong number." "I'm gonna need a limo." "White." "You hearthat?" "That's the same offer I made 30 seconds ago." "You can accept it, ortell me about your problems, and I'll just withdraw the offer, hang up and call Vesper." " Mr. Morgan is waiting foryou." "What?" " Smart move." " l told you to make an appointment." " l'm sorry, Mr. Ross." "I have a warrant here." " Get the hell out of here!" "Get your hands off me!" "Linda, get me a lawyer now and cancel my day." "We close early today, people?" "Come on, let's move it." "Now!" "Six months ago, you handled the launch of the Light of the Lord network " "$47 million l.P.O." "But the church only received about 42 million." " They actually believe my father stole $5 million." "All they know for sure is that the money was diverted from where the prospectus had it earmarked." " They can't hold him responsible for his clients." " Probably not." " How soon can you get me out, Arthur?" "Actually, we're having a little trouble with bail, Cedric." "Whatever it is" " No, no, money's not the problem." "They feel he's a flight risk." "Where would I go?" " Drug dealers are walking out on their own recognizance and you can't get bail for a man who's on the board of many charities?" "Judge Townsend figured yourfather's too rich." "Especially with nearly $5 million unaccounted for." "Judge Andrew Townsend?" " Do we have grounds to claim judicial bias?" " Thirty years ago, I managed his portfolio for about a week." " Hmm." " lt wasn't one of my better moments." " l don't think this is one of his." "We'll appeal the decision." " Come on, Ronny, gimme a break." "This morning was different." "It just was." "Yeah, all right." "Well, what do you want?" "Ah." "Done. I said done." "Jerk." "Go liquid!" "The wetter, the better." "Nobody screws us." " lt's a little late forthat." " l thought we might be able to do something with this." "You want me to go short on wheat, long on gold?" " Elegant, isn't it?" " No, get the hell off my floor." " That is solid!" "You know, I thought you wanted" " Priorities, lady, priorities." "Give it a thought sometime." "See this?" "This is what's known as damage control." "That is what's known as speculation." "Talk to me again sometime when none of our senior partners are slow dancing with their cell mates." "That laughter better be because you're kissing somebody's ass on the other end." "Hey, Bobby, what have got in the sense of blue chips?" "I'm 62 years old and I'm sitting in jail." "Arthur's good, Dad." "You'll be out of here in no time." "When I was 12, I saw my dog hit by a car." "You know what my father did?" "He leans down and he tells me," ""Nothing lasts forever."" "I punched him in the nose." " Twelve years old and you could already draw blood." "You spent the weekend in your room." "Yeah." "But it wasn't until I got locked up in here that I realized that he was right." "Your grandfather and I spent 60 years building and nurturing ourfirm." "I mean, you think you're building something that will last." "But with me in here... by Friday, Cunningham will have sold the firm to the bank." " Sorry, Dad." "I wish there was something I could do." " Nice limo." "Yeah." "You waiting for Gerald Graykirk?" "What's it to you?" " Call it a night?" " l ain't screwing with my job, man, for a lousy 100 bucks." "You ever heard of Vanguard Limo?" "Yeah." " Show up there for work tomorrow morning at 9:00 and ask for Celia." "Come on." "They've got a dental plan." "Thanks a lot." "Hey, how do I get into the game?" "Just give the guy at the door... two more of these." " Thanks." " 9-9-5-7." "Okay, talk to you later." " Hi." "That's... that's all I get?" " Less your entrance fee." " 'Cause, you know, I paid 200 at the door." " Pair of eights takes the gold." " Seven-card stud, no limit." " Coming out, gentlemen." " Now I know how the Czechs felt in 1968." " Tell me bout it." " Ross goes to jail and you in corporate finance get the day off." "It was us that got slammed." " l could be out of a job." "We may all be out of jobs." "Some of us don't have a trust fund to run home to." " Oh, give him a break, Chris." " Nobody gives anybody a break." "Strike when your enemy's weakest." "Strike at his most vulnerable position." "Sun Tzu, Alexander, Napoleon." "They all knew that." "Everybody I talked to today knew that." "Ante's in, gentlemen." " First ace bets." " Three to the ace." " 82, 68, 74..." "Ace, queen to top." " l check." " Check all around." "Three cards, coming out." "One thousand." "Aces and jacks takes the call." "Ace, queen." " Look out forthe hearts." " So, uh, what do you do, Gerald?" " Money." " No kidding." "I spent a summer prospecting north of Yellowknife." " Really?" "What do you do now?" " Investment banking, Gardner-Ross." " Pair of queens." "Pair of sevens." " That's quite a jump." " Got tired of doing an honest day's work." " Pair of eights, pair of teeth." "Pair of sixes." " Full house." "Queens and kings, thank you." " No, no, no, that's not true at all." "It's just business as usual." "Gardner-Ross is biggerthan any of its individual partners." " Biggerthan old man Ross?" " lt's not that I'm unhappy at Gardner-Ross, although I guess I'm not that happy either." " Forget it, lan, our clients aren't going anywhere." "Least of all with you." "You got a stain on your shirt." "Yeah, where?" " Do I have a stain?" "What is that, silk?" " Cotton, blend." " Lovely." "So, you need a job?" " Nah." "Nah." "Watch out forthe spades." "Ace-jack to bet." " Call." " Call." " Everybody plays." "Here they come." "Pair of fours, hearts, broke, broken off." " Brunswick Trust." "They're good." " l'll call." " But?" " But what?" "Are we gonna play some cards or what?" "Ah, 200." " Three more." " l'll call." " There's always a but." " No buts." "They know how to sell." " Five more." "That's what I'm counting on." "And a thousand." " l'll call." "They already sold you." " This queen folds." " Twenty-five more." " l'll call." " Call." " Straight... to the lady." " Full boat." "You called with a full house?" "Why should I do the raising when the other guys'll do it foryou?" "Where the hell is it?" "Brunswick will take two points for structuring, four on the issue and one for stroking." " Stroking?" " They earn it." "They trot out every senior partner in the firm to wine and dine you." "Make you feel like you're in good hands." "Met any government ministers?" " They just happened to be in the same place we were." " Ha, ha, they love you!" "You know who's really handling yourfile?" "He's a 24-year-old kid." "He's got 40-dollar socks." "He's got a 100-dollar haircut." "And the only thing he knows about money he learned in his MBA program, which is exactly nil." " How much did you pay foryour socks, Larkin?" " Three pairs forfive bucks." " Look, I know the game." "You're playing the same cards they played." "You want to impress me, you tell me something I don't know." "Whew, I can't tell you what you don't know." "I'll tell you what they don't know." "They don't know you'll be playing with molten rock at over 1,000 degrees Celsius." "And they don't know it'll take nearly 200 gallons of sea water to cool a kilo of the stuff." "And I know I can save you the stroking commission." "This is your hotel." "You're gonna be at Gardner-Ross this afternoon?" " l expect so." " l want you to handle the deal." "Personally." " So, we're running out of options, people." " lt's not what Cedric wanted." " Cedric is no longer running this firm." "His incarceration has made it all the more imperative that we accept this bank's offer immediately." "We're a lame deer and it's hunting season." "We have no new deals on the horizon?" " Forget it." "We're having enough trouble holding onto the ones we have." "Still at 26?" " So far." " Think you can hold 'em there for another 72 hours?" " Mmm, Sally." "You all know Sally." "This is Marty." "And this is Susannah Marks." "Sally Ross, Cedric's daughter." "Listen, if you'll excuse us for just a minute, Sally." "Finish up a little business." "Adam, I'm here forthis meeting." "I'd like to determine if this bank deal is in our best interests." "With all due respect, Sally, why?" " My dad signed the papers last night." "The transfer should be rubber-stamped by the Commission by day's end." "I now own a controlling share of this firm." " Uh, coffee?" " No, thanks." " Sally, dear, time is a luxury we simply don't have." " This firm survived a depression, half a dozen recessions and a few dozen more defections." "You're saying it can't survive anotherthree days?" " No, I'm saying the bank's offer won't survive anotherthree days." "Well, my father-- - l don't give a damn." "You see, it's not just yourfamily's money that you're playing chicken with here, Sally." "And it's not just mine." "There are two other directors of this firm to consider." "[sighing]" "[buzzing]" " The most important meal of the day." "What are you so chipper about?" " Ha, ha, I made 7,000 bucks playing poker last night and I think I'm gonna be able to see your bald spot from my new office." "You gonna keep being coy or are you going to tell me what the hell you're talking about?" " lt's that Chinese Wall, Marty." "You know how it is." "We over at corporate finance can't discuss our deals with you trading types." "You got a deal?" "Yeah, I promised Ross a deal;" "I'm going to deliver Ross a deal." "Which Ross?" "[laughing]" " lt seems Mr. Ross's problems mean you need me that much more." "You'll forgive us if we don't declare a national holiday in honour of your arrival, won't you?" " My share of the commission is all I want." " There won't be a commission because there won't be a deal." "Adam, my fatherthought" " The technology is completely unproven." " lf it wasn't new, they wouldn't come to us forfinancing, would they?" "It'll sell." " He is completely unproven." "He's never handled a deal before." " No, but I landed one." " Some cowboy liked your sweet talk." "If that's all this job took, we'd be out recruiting car salesmen." "Do you see anyone around here who dresses like that?" " l'll take my deal elsewhere." "Thank you." " Thank you." " Mr. Larkin." "Did my father promise you we'd handle HotRocks?" " No." "He didn't think I could land the deal." " Thank you." " He's an ass." " Oh, that's just the way Marty is." " No, no, the way he is, is a pig." "What he is, is an ass." " So was he wrong?" " No." "Doesn't mean I'm gonna miss him." "You're not going anywhere -- you've been bitching about him since the day you got here." " But now he is head trader of a sinking ship." "Uh-uh. I am out of here -- just as soon as I can find an employer who doesn't require a horizontal interview." "Want to lend me your wedding band?" "You'll be greatly missed." " Mm-hmm." "Tell it to Marty." " l'll miss you." "Yeah, well, you'll be looking too in a couple of weeks." "Don't worry. I'll put in a good word foryou." " 'Afternoon." " Monica, right?" "Yeah, that's right." "Excuse me." " She looking for work?" "Why would you say that?" "A lot of people around here don't seem too anxious to talk to me today." "What do you think?" "is this our last stand?" " Our reputation's in tatters." "Our competitors smell weakness." "Our clients feel insecure." "We can't even attract deals any more." "Yes, right now the bank's offer is looking awfully attractive." "[dring!" "]" "Excuse me." "Susannah Marks." " How you doing, Dad?" " Okay." "I'm..." "I'm really quite awful." "How about yourself?" " l'm worried about you." " The firm?" " l..." "I..." "I don't think that we have any other option" " Option?" "I can't take another night in here." " Okay." "Give Arthurtime, Dad." " No, I don't want any goddamn appeal." "I want to get out of here!" " Settle down, okay?" "Settle down." "We're doing everything that we can." "Wrong. I'm still in here." "That means there's something we haven't done." " Okay." "Another day, another $22 million traded!" "Let's go!" " Done." " Oh, pig." " Marty, can I speak to you a moment?" " Uh, yeah." "Want to grow up?" " So what do we need?" " Uh, Ballantine's." "Anything else?" "You mean do I have any miracles that would keep our collective balls from being nailed to a post?" "Pardon me." "Collective balls and ovaries." " Much better." "You see that kid overthere trying to hide in the wallpaper?" "Donald Darby." "With yourfather behind bars, he is now our senior corporate finance person." "What about Adam?" " Heh-heh." "You see, the only deal Adam's interested in is the one with the bank." "If that's our only option, being unemployed and rich is certainly better than being just unemployed." "Jack Larkin." "What about him?" "What have you got?" " He's undercut me on half-a-dozen deals." "Anything unethical?" " No, Larkin's a cowboy." "I mean, you know, he's self-centred, he's unpredictable, he's uncontrollable and that makes him dangerous." "Anything else?" " ls he any good?" "Yeah." " Donald?" " Uh, Miss Ross." "Yeah, we've got some work to do." " Oh, okay." " Do you mind?" " Mm-mm." "You're... you're related" "Yes, yes, yes." " Charles?" " My father." "See you." " l'll speak to head office." "We had hoped to firm the deal up by the end of the week." "Well, we will." "Come on, Kent, these things never go as smoothly as you'd like." "Adam." " Kent, I don't believe you've met Sally Ross, Cedric's daughter." "Donald Darby, this is Kent McNally." " Sally Ross." "It's been ages since I last saw this young lady." " l haven't had much occasion to be around this office until recently." "Didn't know bankers kept such hours." "You know how it is..." "No rest forthe wicked." " Donald, could you get those papers from research?" "What the hell was McNally doing here?" "You asked me to stall, I'm stalling." "At 11:30 at night?" "What were you doing here now?" " Business meeting." "Jack Larkin." " l thought we'd passed on that." " l changed my mind." " Did you really?" "Traditionally, senior partners consult on such matters." "It's kind of in the nature of partnerships." "We consulted." "I knew your opinion." " The deal is foolish and dangerous." "Yes." "You want to tell me what other choice we have?" " The bank." " That's what I thought." "'Night." "You don't have many options, do you?" " l wouldn't say that." " No, I wouldn't think so." "But then you called me in here for a meeting at midnight." "My price just went up." "I want a 10% equity position in Gardner-Ross," "Assuming it survives." " How long can you keep Graykirk hanging without a firm behind you?" " lf l lose this deal, a dynasty doesn't end." " l'll give you a point and a half." "But it's a one-off deal." " Sorry." "When do we start negotiating?" " Okay, done." "Get some sleep." "[knock-knock!" "]" "You didn't have any plans fortonight, Donald?" " 'Morning, Linda." " He should be right out, Mr. Larkin." " Thanks." "We have appointments with potential syndication partners every 45 minutes from now until 4:00." "This must go to the printers ASAP." "No lunchtime." "Grab something going out." " 'Morning." " lt's foryou." "l'll call them back." "Let's go." " No." " Ross." "Uh... I understand." "You guys will have to go without me, okay?" "Here." "Think you can handle it?" "Yeah." "What's up?" " Medical emergency." "Herfather." " l told you no jail could hold me." "So, who's watching the shop?" " lt should survive a couple hours without us." "What happened?" "You had a heart attack, Dad." " This is a very comfortable..." "bed." " Our most conservative estimates yield at least 500,000 ounces of gold per annum at under 150 U.S. cash cost per." "Volcanos, molten rock, sea-water cooling." "Sexy stuff." " Should make retail sales a breeze." "I've earmarked 15% of the deal foryour outfit." " l gotta tell you, Jack, word on the street says this isn't really your deal to be divvying." "Word at Graykirk Mining says otherwise." " My buddy over at Brunswick Trust says you scooped them." "We were interested in the deal;" "they were interested-  lt's nice work." "The twerp needed a lesson in humility." "I'll speak to my partners, but it looks good." " Right." "Yeah." " Hey, lan, my secretary told me you were in the building." "How you doing?" " How's it going, Adam?" "You sailing much?" " No, damn thing sits in the harbour looking pretty." "Can't even use it as a write-off." "Jack, I know you're busy." "I'll see that Dantzer doesn't steals anything on the way out." " So, Charles Darby's, uh" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's my dad." " Oh, you got my respect." "I would have been tempted to pull a few strings." "You're the first person I've met who actually thinks I earned my job." " Of course you did." "Your job sucks." "Well... yeah." "Yeah, I think, sometimes." " So, how's Larkin treating you?" " Not as well as he's treating you." "I should net enough off this deal to put the kids through college." "Yeah, he and Ross's kid put the whole deal together on their own." "With Charles Darby's boy?" " Not bad for a bunch of neophytes, huh?" "Very impressive." "Yeah, you got to hand it to those kids." "They really got balls." " Thanks." " Here we are." "All right, see you this afternoon, I guess." "Yeah, it sounds positively dazzling, but we should take another look at it, anyway." "Yeah, we'll talk when I get back." " Okay, including Dantzer, we're firm for45% , we've got soft commitments for 30 more." "I'm seeing Vesper and two others this afternoon, but we should be solid forthe syndication meeting at the close of trading." " Nice work." " l'm sorry." "How's your, uh, yourfather?" " Stable, feisty" " Mine's just feisty." "You know, you don't meet too many people in this business who get along with theirfathers." "Of course, you're not in this business, are you?" " l understand your position." "Why can't you at least consider mine?" " The lead manager has to act like the lead manager." "We must be able to take up 25% ." " l agree." " ls this yourfather's decision?" " Obviously not, Adam." " So based on a summer's experience in investment banking, you feel you're in a position to make this decision forthe company." "Yes, she has that authority." " But not the qualifications." "Close the door." "We can't take 25% of this thing." "It's way too much risk for a firm-  lf we don't take a quarter, this thing doesn't go." "If this thing doesn't go, we wind up selling to the bank-  l want us to take 25% ." "It's a good deal." "I'll put my money where my mouth is." " "My, we, my." What is this?" "This is no yourfirm." "And it's not your money." " lt's herfirm and it's my deal." "[sighing]" "Good afternoon, gentlemen, ladies." "HotRocks, you know the drill." "In?" "We'll take 20." " Good." "Reggie?" " 10." "Another 10?" " Make it 15." "And another 15." " lt's up to you, lan." "Forty left." "We'd like to keep a significant play, but" " Hang onto what you want." "We're passing." " Do we have a deal?" "We... we had expected that" "Yeah, we got a deal." " Gardner-Ross will take the remaining 40." "Announcement at the opening bell tomorrow." "Thank you." "You bet the firm." "I didn't think we could afford 25% ." "A quarter of a Larkin deal?" "Why doesn't anyone listen to me?" " Mining issues were weak at close." "I've got a bad feeling about this." " Don't worry." "Nothing will go wrong." "You're damn right, because we are repricing." "It is bargain-basement time, people." "Everything must go." " No." "What do you mean, "no"?" " l gave Graykirk my word." " l don't care." " Graykirk wanted me to have complete control overthe offering." "He got it!" " So sue us." " This firm's last action isn't going to be to renege on a deal." " Sally, if this deal goes wrong, we are dead." "Without this, you're dead." "Wrong!" "I don't mean we have to sell out." "I mean we're dead." "I mean we are dead!" "It is over!" "And we burn up our shares and that bankruptcy truck comes along." "They sell our pretty little paintings and anything else around here that's worth a dime."

"You're being ridiculous!" "A cigarette." "What about it?" " l dropped it behind the fridge." " l'll buy you another pack." "How's that?" " Ha, time comes a man can't get his own cigarette, might as well slit his own throat." " l thought you quit." " lt's the last one." "Put the fridge back, will you?" "[coughing]" " How am I doing?"
