"Previously seen on Traders." " They wouldn't make this offer unless they thought their case had significant problems." "Why's Navadyne on the restricted list?" " How deep are you?" " To my eyeballs." "You're holding Navadyne, aren't you?" "You want troubles, you keep listening to this conversation." " Stock was restricted." "Unfortunately, Marty traded in it." "Why not simplify it?" "Find a cross and nails." " The cough isn't going to get better by itself." "See a doctor." "You should mind your own business." " Ourfirm has never had a derivatives department." " There's a fortune to be made." " They're almost as unpredictable as the punks specializing in them." "You want me to come out of retirement?" " l think so." " l don't want money, I don't want pressure." "And I want lots of chocolate." "We lose a lot." "We guaranteed the price." "Who did?" "We did." "There's no market out." " l took your advice." " Hey, there's a first time for everything, right?" " l went to see a doctor." "We shredded on the 9th, 24 hours before the search warrant was issued." " Looks like we've got an illegal search and seizure." " Guy did over a million dollars' worth of trades in just over45 seconds." "And not a single trade, mind you." "We're talking a dozen small transactions." " Can't be done." " lt turns out it was a seizure." "Who knew the guy had epilepsy?" "Well, it's tragic, really." "I mean, guy forgets his medicine one morning, and..." "How do I get into foreign markets?" "What do you want?" " Uh, DRP investments." "Looks like a bargain." " l'll do it." " Take half foryourself." " l was going to." " The funny thing about Ronny" "Who?" " The epileptic." " Forgot his medicine." " Guy made close to six figures on those trades." " Sounds a lot like the Mike Cornelius story." " Different guy, ailment and ending." "He lost an eye playing with a stick when he was a kid." "Jim, what's this called again?" " Screen saver." " How do I get out of it?" " Touch a key." "Whoa!" "What do you want?" " Get me some VX." "Max out at up to 7/8." "What do you figure?" "Morgan's eating crow overthe Cedric Ross affair?" " Not really the Commission's style, James, my friend." " How much longer do you think he'll be in there?" " However long it takes." "But you have no basis." "We have every basis, including a very interesting trading report involving Navadyne and one Martin Stephens." "What did you do, inspect every paper looking for my name?" "Yes." "Nice try, filing at month end." "Normally, it would take years to get around something like that." "But we were highly motivated." " Do you have a warrant?" " Section 11 order." "Signed, sealed and dated." "Why don't we just short-circuit this little exercise, shall we?" "Now, you're cranky because Ross got off, and who can blame you?" "But the question now is:" "What do you want?" "What I want I can't have." "We blew it with Ross, so it's strictly by the book." "Trust me, the book can make your life plenty miserable." "Where are you going?" "Am I under arrest?" " Not yet." " Don't worry." "I'm not leaving town." "Do you know what happens on that floor when I'm gone?" " l'm planning on finding out." " Everything is by the numbers." "We give them the numbers right back." "They want to play by the book, we play by the book." "We give what we must -- nothing more." " This will tick them off." " l leave this place alone for a day, boardroom's crawling with investigators." "What did you guys do, hold up a bank?" " Morgan's making our lives miserable." " l agree with Carl." "The smart procedure" " Sally, this is the real world." "It's not some sort of case study." " l find that the real world is populated with real people." "Real people get real annoyed when you don't cooperate." " l think they're already annoyed." " l can't believe anybody in this room is seriously suggesting that we cooperate with our executioner." "We can deal with Morgan, make" " Morgan's having fun." "We want him to stop, we gotta take the fun out of it." " lf we stall, this investigation will take twice as long." "Until it finishes-  lt won't end till they're satisfied." " Or realize that they're not going to get it." "Now, I'd like to see a little show of hands here." "All those in favour of playing this strictly by the book..." "Mm-hmm." "Well, thank you." "Arthur." " Nobody communicates with the Commission except through me;" "nothing is handed over to the Commission except with the advice of counsel, and that's me." " This is a mistake." " So you said." "Any other questions?" "No?" "Good." " Bastards!" " Everything is on the level." "Morgan is just" "Just a bastard." "Ah, do you think he's still looking forthe missing documentation?" " No, he lost that battle." "No, he's trying to even the score." "He knows what the firm means to me." "I'm keeping everything clean until you're well enough to get back." " Oh, Sally, this is investment banking." "No one's entirely clean." "What is this, Who-ang?" " l think it's just "Wang."" "With an "H"?" " Probably not in Chinese." " The debt-to-equity ratio looks good." " Hmm, too good." " That's a cliche, isn't it?" " How do you think they originate?" "You are being pig-headed." "Why?" "Because I don't agree with you?" " No, because you don't agree with anybody." "Everything in this file says we should recommend Huang." "Everybody on the street says we should recommend Huang." "Ancient Israel had rabbinical panels to dispense justice." "You're not Jewish." " So I can't know these things?" "They had one rule and one exception." "All the cases were decided by a majority, except when all the judges said someone was guilty, they'd set him free." " That makes no sense." " Everybody can't be right." " So that's your rationale?" "It seems more likely that everybody can't be wrong." " They figured if there was no difference of opinion, then they had to be missing something." " The rabbis?" " 200 BC." "Or something like that." "What's that?" " Nothing. lt's misfiled." " l'm going home." "Yeah, go ahead, you can have it." " Prints one." "Yeah, how much do you want?" "Yo, Marty, I think I'm still sitting on August Wheat." "What should I do?" " Nothing, seeing as you sold it yesterday." " Sold?" "I thought you meant hold." "You're joking, right?" "Because if you're not, I'm going to have to hurt you." " Sometimes you mumble." "Jim, we've got August Wheat to unload." "A gust of heat?" "August Wheat!" " How much and how much?" "48 loss at firesale prices!" " l thought you said "a gust of heat" too." "Yeah, big shock." "Chris..." "Where the hell's" "Where's Chris, where's Chris?" "You sit beside Marty, right?" "Actually it's more like-  l wouldn't answerthat." " lt's basic establishing-  lt's not relevant." " To what?" " l don't know. I don't even know what you're doing here." " Then how can you possibly object?" " Oh, yeah, I mean, a judge will probably agree with you when you finally get to one, but now, all I see is a warrant based on an alleged trade in Navadyne securities by Martin Stephens." "You want to ask about that, go ahead." "You saw Stephens make the Navadyne trade, didn't you?" " Don't answer." "It's a leading question." " l'm entitled." "You're probably right." "But until I hearfrom a judge" "You find this funny?" " Don't answerthat." "You want to examine yourtrades?" "This won't make things easier." " For who?" "Whom." "What?" "Whom." "[dring!" "]" "Why do they make us wait in our underwear?" "Yeah, Larkin." " Must be a powertrip for doctors." "Pumps up their God image." " No, nothing yet, no." "Heh-heh, I don't know." "It's tough to find a place with a pool and a little yard left over, you know." "Yeah, tell me about it." "Say, are you familiar with Huang Manufacturing?" " "Man on moon."" " Shh." "General manufacturing plant outside Guangzhou, looking for western" "A simple yes would suffice." "Tell me what you know about it." " "August '92." That explains the interview with Columbus." "Who am I to argue with Vesper?" "It's a solid buy, you know." "You might want to get your butt back here, 'cause it seems that we have another director who doesn't share your good sense." " Listen, I gotta get going." "The, uh, the real-estate broker just got here." "Yeah, yeah, okay." " Since when did you become a liar?" " My personal life's nobody's business." " l could have come on my own, you know. I'm still alive." "Hey, Doc, you did the tests." "Tell him his father's still alive, that he's got a pulse and everything." " l know you're alive, okay." "If you were dead, I'd be at the office right now." "Ha..." "Doc, have I introduced you to my son?" "He came here to lend emotional support." "These sessions can be so trying." "Welcome back," "Larkin." " Enough foreplay." "Can we get back to business?" "I'm buying Huang." "I don't care what Susannah says." " See, this is a problem -- if your own people aren't listening, who is?" " l won't recommend stocks I don't believe in." "The ancient Israelis had a system of justice with one rule and one exception." "What just happened?" "Did I doze off?" " Excuse me, Marty, I've been watching this for a while." "When a majority of the streets say buy, 66% of the time, they're right." "As the majority increases, so do the chances that they're right." " The ancient Jews told you this?" " But something funny happens when the majority reaches 96% ." "Suddenly they're wrong more often than they're right." "You're a Southern Baptist." " Lapsed." "With Huang, we've got 100% agreement." " Not quite, apparently." "With this level of agreement, the street has been dead wrong 87% of the time." " Has this happened enough to be statistically significant?" " Not quite, but the bottom line is this:" "you don't get numbers like this company has unless you cook them." " l don't care if they're poached and served up as an entree." "We all know the game." "You buy on rumour;" "you sell on fact." "Look, enough people believe that fertilizer is worth more than gold, next thing you know crap is trading at $600 an ounce." "Now, is there anybody in this room who thinks that Huang is anything but a good buy?" "Well, you're alone, which means that you're going to be making a buy recommendation in our newsletter." " No, no, she isn't." "You know nothing about this company." " She doesn't have to." "Susannah's our analyst -- not Vesper and not the street." "Why the hell did I call you in?" " Print what you want." " Excuse me, excuse me -- Your precious rules provide for a vote when there is an issue in dispute." "We don't have a dispute." "Making these decisions is Susannah's job, not ours." "It's her job description." " Big mistake." " This is a private meeting." " This is a warrant." "I go where l want." " lf you won't mind, our attorney will give this the once-over." " lt's the same damn warrant you've seen a dozen times." "Okay, you want to play hardball, that's fine with me." "Front-running on Pierce, major insider activity on Halkirk, deficiencies on the encore l.P.O." " Fairy tales." "Those trades were all done strictly by the book." "Ajudge will probably agree when you get to one." "Then again, maybe not." "Either way, you've got adverse publicity." "No big deal, right?" "My guess:" "Six months from now, only one man here will be rich." "Your attorney." " Get the hell out of our offices." "Want to see another copy of the warrant?" "I'm not going anywhere." "Well, Murphy can handle my class." "Nobody likes undergrad." "Remind him that I put his name on my last paper." "Don't worry, don't worry." "I'll be there next week." "Yeah, see you." "You don't have to thank me." " For letting me do my job?" "I wasn't planning on it." "Monika told me the Light of the Lord file was still up here." " Do you need it?" " Do you?" "The charges against yourfather were dismissed." " On a technicality." "Well... I found this misfiled with Huang." "I thought about destroying it, and I thought about giving it to the police." "What did you decide?" " That it wasn't my decision." "[church organ playing]" "Yourfather is a righteous man, Sally." " That's very understanding of you, given that he was accused of stealing close to $5 million from your ministry." "Judge not lest ye be judged." " Three of your employees agreed to testify against him." "But you've consistently refused to even speak to the police." "What is life, if not a series of decisions, huh?" "So many are so easy, so few are so hard." "Yet it's how we face those few hard decisions that determines if we lived a good life or a life of sin." "My former employees made their decisions, the police made theirs and I made mine." "And my father faced criminal charges." "And gained pride from seeing you continue his good work." "Fifth commandment:" " Honourthy father and thy mother." " Mm-hmm, and you do." "A document was misfiled." "Ah, the missing fund-transfer authorization." " Police reviewed our records as well." " lt's a fund-transfer authorization." "I'm not sure it's the one the police were looking for." "It's the right date and the right amount," "But it's not payable to your organization." "Do you want me to tell you that it's just a coincidence?" " l want you to tell me what you know." " Do you?" " l know that you face a crisis of faith, child." "I know that the devil's minions await you along the Lord's path." "Yes, yes, Reverend." "Tell me, how do you know if something's an opportunity from the Lord or a challenge from the devil?" "Yourfather is a man of conviction, Sally." "A man who faces the difficult decisions in life with grace and certainty, a man who knows that there are higher laws than man's laws." " Higherthan the eighth commandment?" " No, Sally, your daddy has not stolen anything." "[dring!" "]" "You sure you want to go that route?" "No, I'm not backing off my recommendation." "Okay, well, I'll see what I can do." "I'll see what I can do." "So what brings you down here?" "What's up with Huang?" " l'm going short and Marty's going long." "Marty, do you need 50 Huang?" "Yeah, keep 'em coming." "Benny, you ready forthis stuff?" " l think so." " Damn!" "Chris." " l'm on it." " Don't you feel like a jerk betting against your analyst?" " Don't you feel like a jerk hanging out here on your day off?" "Don't you feel like a jerk taking an afternoon off?" "You're undercutting your own people." "What Susannah reports on is her business;" "what I do with the firm's money is mine." "Ha-ha, Huang's up another 1/8." "[Susannah]:" "Marty." " l guess you saw the latest numbers, Susannah." "Actually, I was on the phone with Beijing." "There's going to be a press conference in about five minutes." "Something about fraudulent bookkeeping." " Uh, Huang?" "[Susannah]:" "Can you unload your holding that fast?" " l'll take it, Mart." " Chris!" " l'm on it, I'm on it." " Five minutes?" "You got my order?" " l don't need your order." "I'm trying to flush mine." " l'd watch yourfront-running." "The walls have eyes." " The price is dropping already." "Looks like Susannah was only a few seconds ahead of the street." " Okay, I'm selling at 50." "You got it." " So, uh, we're at the gate." " Pardon me?" " The plane's come to a full stop at the gate." "Pierce's deal closed." "You're leaving me with one less account." "I guess I can always find some new clients." "You got me." "Wipe that smirk off yourface, Larkin." "This is your money too I'm blowing." "[sighing]" " Don't jerk me around, Arthur." "You wanted to meet all the traders." " This is a supply room." "I'm shutting yourfloor down." " Oh." " Grant, I'm Arthur Kemper, counsel to the firm." "And this is" " This is... is my office." " This is a trader?" " Mm-hmm." " l'm registered... mail order." "Jack..." "Jack told me I wouldn't have people in here." " Oh." "Donald... there..." "there... there..." " Hi, I'm looking for Frank Larkin." " l'm over here." " Thanks." "They still haven't seen you?" " lmagine that, someone who's even busier than my son." "Of course, this guy is saving lives." " l hate waiting." " Then don't." "There's no point in us both being here." "Yeah." " Excuse me." "Yes?" " My father was supposed to have an appointment with Dr. Parker an hour ago." "[dring!" "]" " Don't answerthat." " l've known him since" " Grant." " lt's an easy question." "I know the answer." " l'm here to help." "You're not." "He is." "Insert section B into slot C." "You speak Swedish?" " Don't answerthat." " Hi, Donald." "What's going on?" " Three in the room." "Four now." "Jack said I'd be on my own." "Can you... can you make him leave?" " Uh, I don't know, Grant." "You're out of here, Arthur." "You're not telling me what" "Your client said that he doesn't want counsel present." "End of discussion." "I appreciate this, Mr. Jansky." " Susannah says Nortown's going to 17." "What do we have?" " Nortown?" "What's Nortown?" " l dunno." "What do we have?" " Nothing. lt's at 15, up 3/8." " Still got room." "Get whateveryou can." "What is that?" " $600-an-ounce dung." "Just get us a few tons." "Hey, Tony, Tony, what do you got in the way of..." "Martindale Resources?" "I know you can read." "So can I." "Your boy disagrees with my gal." "I thought you'd be happy to unload a scud like this." "I'll tell you what -- give me all you got and I'll give you Susannah's home number." "Yeah, Tony, I'm kidding." " The law protects you." "They can't seek any sort of retribution." "You want chocolate, Mr. Morgan?" "I got milk and bittersweet." " No, thank you." "So if you see anything or hear" " Section A slips into headboard." "I haven't met so many people." " So?" " So the ones I've met seem very nice." "Have you seen locking-nut G?" "You don't know of any problems, ay mistakes or, uh, fraud?" " ljust started last week." " Last week?" "Ow!" "Ow." "What do you know about Navadyne and Martin Stephens?" "Who?" "Mmm, we're almost done." "Locking-nut G" " Uncover any violations?" "Zoning." "He better not be sleeping in there." "Afternoon, Ms. Ross." " l'm calling in Kemper." " l thought it was time for us to have a personal chat." " ls this a witch hunt?" "You don't like playing games, do you?" "You sure you have a future in this business?" " Don't plan to." "Do some teaching." "I know when someone hasn't answered my question." "You think that my motivation is personal, maybe I'm a little overzealous, maybe I believe that yourfather is guilty and he should somehow be punished." " Thank you." " Tell me, do you think yourfather's guilty?" " He's my father." " l'm not a teacher." "Well, maybe that did answer my question." "We know you've been to see Reverend Albright." "The RCMP have had the good reverend under surveillance." "And my friends were surprised to see you there." "They're starting to believe that... you may be involved as well." "Ah-ha." "And you?" " No." "I think somebody said something to you -- your dad, maybe one of the traders." "Maybe found something." "Whatever it was, it gave you some doubts." "I'd ask you what it was, but with your lawyer not here..." " So why are you here?" " My father spent 8 1/2 years in jail, Ms. Ross." "They say he killed my mother." " l'm sorry." "Did he?" " l never asked." " Doesn't sound like your style." " Heh-heh, I thought I'd let God be the judge on that one." "You see, I loved my fathertoo." "Whateveryou're doing, whatever it is you're looking for..." " Truth." " Drop it." "You're not going to like what you find." " Six doctors, four hospitals, god knows how many tests in three days." "Does anyone know anything around here?" " Nobody knows anything, Dad." "No one but you." " Don't you have any calls to make?" " Can we try not talking?" "Okay, just give it five minutes." "Talking hasn't worked, maybe we can get along that way." " Fine." "[dring!" "]" "Dr. Larkin's." "What's your emergency?" " Give me the phone." "Larkin." "Jack, I told you not to answer anything" " Let me talk." "You pulled me in here on a day off." "You think I got nothing betterto do?" "Your sailing lessons, your car shopping, everything can wait." "This is a criminal investigation." " Okay, look, don't get righteous with me." "A petty attack by a petty man." " He's probably overcompensating for something." "Just get this sham over with." "Let's go." " Graykirk Mining." "Gerald Graykirk had a binding agreement with Brunswick Trust." " lf he did, l" "You induced a breach of contract." " He was talking to Brunswick and to me." "Jack, you don't have to answer questions." "We were playing cards." "I had to say something." " Pierce Aviation." "We met the capital requirements, jumped through hoops, hired a derivatives trader -- we're fine on that one." " Navadyne Navigational Systems." "What's the question?" " How much money did you make on that deal?" "Ahem, Mr. Larkin's employment terms" " Forget employment." "I couldn't care less." "You played this stock, didn't you?" " Don't answerthat." "A little front-running, Mr. Larkin?" "Maybe not, maybe just another Gardner/Ross director playing a restricted stock." "Are you finished?" " Get out of here." " Excuse me?" "You can leave." "Taylor?" "Yeah." " l want every file they've got on Navadyne Navigation." "Pull Harding and Gorsky off the floor." " Something I should know about?" " No." "Oh, God." " Something I don't want to know about?" " No." "You didn't exactly make things easy on me back there." "I'd appreciate knowing what you're trying to hide." " Nothing, but Morgan doesn't know that." "Should keep his troops busy for a few days." "I got to run." " lf they want a decent guard and still stay underthe salary cap, they must unload him." " He puts people in the seats." "Yeah, they're more interested in filling the arena than in winning games." " That's exactly why I don't own season tickets, and that's exactly why they're a recommended buy." "All right." " Did you know about Nortown's Alaskan holdings?" "Yeah, we reported on them six months ago." "What" " Marty?" " Give me good news, Marks." " Stay away from Nortown." " Too late." "Marks?" "Barnes?" "Don't sweat this." "Susannah, are you there?" " Ditch Nortown." " Too much caffeine, Marks." "What are you waiting for?" "A reason." " l went through old Nortown analysis" " The thing's like six months old." "They never unloaded their Alaskan properties." " Too busy being infallible, I guess?" "Apparently, I'm not." "You are." "Nortown's up $1 1/8." " lt shouldn't be." " Susannah Marks says it should." " Those Alaskan properties are like a rock tied around a drowning man's neck." "Well, apparently, your word is worth a little bit more than something like reality." "Buy on rumour, sell on fact, right?" "Well, you're the only rumour that matters right now." " lt's up another 1/8." " Okay, it's time to sell on fact, people!" "Let's do some profit-taking from Nortown before the swami's magic spell wears off." "Ah, ha, ha..." "Unless, of course, any of you pinheads have any objections." "No?" "Well, you want to get the hell out of my way?" "I'm trying to pace here!" "Nothing, good." " The matter's out of hand." "You said play hardball with these people." "It's not too late to change course." " ljust got off the phone with the Attorney-General's office." "Seems there aren't enough favours in the world to make Morgan go away." "And this situation isn't going to go away just by making nice to the guy." "Well, Larkin bought us some time." " Larking bought us nothing." "We're in the backseat of '54 Chevrolet and our date isn't going to stop until we put out." "A lovely metaphor, Adam." "What are you suggesting?" " Somebody's got to go down." " They've got nothing on us." "We do know that they have something on Marty and Navadyne." "Your report." " lf l hadn't filed that report, this entire firm would be on the line forfailure to disclose." " lf you hadn't filed that report, they wouldn't even be here." " No, no, Carl's right." "Marty's vulnerable." "He's got to be the one." " He's our head trader." "He's been with us for 17 years." "He's yourfriend." " lt's a shame." "Wrong. it's not an option." "Just do the math, Sally." "It's not only an option, lt's our only option." "Now, Morgan is making it impossible to work around here." "He has a legal right to do that." "He has the resources to do that." "And what's worse, he wants to do that." "Now, we don't give him what he wants, and sooner or later, we shut down." " l'm not prepared to ask Marty to sacrifice himself to save this firm." "Who said anything about asking?" " That's mate." "I believe we said $20." "Don't be a stranger." "What are you doing here?" "You missed your appointment." " First and foremost, one must make a living." "Something my son taught me." "You don't have your health, you don't got nothing." "Something my old man taught me, by throwing his away for 20 years." "You want to talk?" "Sit down." "I'll give you white." "You're sick." " So they tell me." "Are you going to do anything about it?" " l feel fine." "Your queen, on the other hand..." "You were coughing up blood yesterday." "Had one of those 24-hour blood-coughing bugs?" " l wasn't coughing up blood." "You want to keep it down?" "People don't like playing chess with blood-coughers." " l can understand that." "You gonna move or what?" " l rescheduled your appointment." "You going to botherto show up?" " lf l feel sick." " There you go, you win." "Tomorrow morning, 9:00, if you feel sick." " No, I feel fine." "I'll tell you what's killing me." "It's this crazy exercise regimen." "Tazwell's never had it this good." "I didn't walk this much when I was healthy." "Of course, maybe that's why I'm not." " l did some checking into a company today." " Sound investment?" " 530657 Ontario Inc." " l did nothing wrong." " "There are higher laws than men's laws."" "You spoke to Reverend Albright before you spoke to yourfather." " l'm sorry." "I wasn't sure what to think." "I didn't want to doubt you." "You didn't want me to know you doubted me." "He's a pompous, arrogant demagogue." " He speaks well of you." " He should." " On the day that Reverend Albright's deal closed, 4.82 million shy, exactly 4.82 million was paid by ourfirm into that numbered company." "At least that's what it looks like." " ls that a question?" "Are you guilty, Dad?" "Are you asking me as the senior partner of Garner/Ross or as my daughter?" "Would it make a difference to your answer?" " lt would make a difference to your question." " l'll trust your answer." "You have my answer." " Don't run away from this, Dad." "Are you guilty?" " The charges were dismissed, Sally." " Stop. lt's a simple question, and I'm not getting a simple answer." "Please, Dad, are you guilty?" " Do you love me, Sally?" "Very much." "Are you guilty?" " l didn't steal the $5 million." " That's what Reverend Albright said." " l earned it." " Did you ask the question?" "You could've avoided some tough decisions." "I'm leaving this firm when my father's well enough to return." " l don't think you are." " l don't have a choice." "Your choices may not be the ones you want, but you do still have a choice." "Yourfatherthought he didn't answerto the same law that applies to the rest of us." " He was acquitted." " He was guilty." " Under whose law?" "You couldn't bury your head in the sand before the truth, you sure as hell can't bury it now." "Yourfather's a crook." " Screw you." " Now you know it too." " So I'm appeasing the gods." " Hardly a virgin sacrifice." "That's why discretion isn't your long suit." " Oh, yeah, yeah, she's the pariah." "You put a contract out on me, and you're pissed 'cause she tipped me off." " Have you discussed this with Kemper?" " That's a business decision, not a legal one." "It's the best interest of the firm." "That's what's at issue here." " Sacrifice the few forthe many." "Ever go a day without a major rationalization?" "You're here more on days off than when you're working." " lf you could go a day without a crisis-  lt's a miracle we held this firm together until you came along." " Hey, hey, hey." "You mind just concentrating on my problem for a minute?" "I'm tired of being this firm's whipping boy." " Believe me, Marty, if there was any other way..." " Look, we took a vote." "There's a policy on this." "Let Kemper do his job." "We're postponing the inevitable." "Morgan is not gonna go away." "And neither is Marty." "What's the real issue here, Adam?" "How long till the Commission dredges up one of your skeletons?" " Even if there aren't any, they're going to build them." "And it's not just gonna be mine." " l'll take 60 days." "Fully paid." "And I want a guaranteed job on my return plus two years, 30% raise and a locked-in minimum bonus." " 60 days or six years, Marty?" "You know what a suspension will do?" "Why do you think I want the guaranteed job?" "You don't have to do this." "Yes, I do." "Adam's right -- eitheryou give me up or I take the whole place down." "We may have to offer more."

"Ayn needs some long-term debt." "Her client needs to avoid the feds." "Allan, yeah." "We're up to our eyeballs in fraps." "A quarter?" "There's a reason I'm up to my eyeballs in it -- l like it so much I can't part with it at any price." "Well, except that one." "How much?" "At that price?" "I can't do that." "Okay, yes, done." "Hello, testing." "Thank heavens, I thought I was going deaf." "Well, you heard the boss." "Let's move it, back to work." " Hey." " lt's good to see you." "Oh, it's good to be back." "Hey, this is still my office, isn't it?" " l didn't think you were coming back till Monday." " Because the doctor said I shouldn't?" "Take a long weekend, Sally." "You earned it." " l don't think you should come back." "Your mother always wanted you to be a doctor." " No, this isn't about your health, Dad." "Alveolar cell carcinoma." "What the hell is that?" " Carcinoma?" " lt's a lung disease." " My father doesn't have cancer." "Well, actually, yes, he does." "It's a type of cancer that's isolated to the lungs." " So it won't spread?" " No, but-  lt's not like in the past." "I mean, it doesn't have to, uh... I mean, we caught it early enough, right?" " Morgan will destroy us if you return." " Us?" "You, this firm, us." " So you want to give in to the bastard's blackmail?" "That's not the way I do business." "That's not the way I thought my daughter did business." " The bastard is right." " There must be options." " There's no known cure." "Now, transplantation is the only current method" " Put him on the list." " l intend to, but at his age..." "At my age." "You can talk to me, I'm in the room." " Sorry." "At your age, Mr. Larkin, the chances of a suitable donor coming along before" " Before I kick it..." " Dad, you're not dying, okay?" "Just" " Excuse me. I must have misunderstood the word incurable." " My advice is, get your affairs in order." "Do a little golfing." " l don't play golf." " l have no regrets, Sally." "Market says that I can only take 6% of a deal." "I refused to do it forthat." "The reverend knew that I could raise 15 million more than anyone else on the street." "So I took five." "And the good reverend takes the extra 10." "Free enterprise at work." " No matter how you rationalize it, Dad, you stole from people." "Thousands of people." "You have no idea who." "You have no idea what the money meant to them." " They got a sound investment." " But they didn't get what you promised them." " Sally, that prospectus could've said that 5 million was going to be flushed down a toilet." "Wouldn't have made a difference, because nobody reads the damn thing." " l can't give you back the shares." "Wrong." "Those are my shares." " l spoke with Kemper." " l don't give a damn." "I gave you those shares." " Please settle down, Dad." " That wasn't estate planning." "You're not well." "You're damn right." "Why did I give you those shares?" " Because you trusted me to make the right decisions." " l trusted you to make my decisions." " Please don't make this any harder." "You're trying to steal my firm." "You tell me why I should make that easy on you." " l'm sorry." " l don't care."

"For christ's sake, say it to the man who changed your goddamn diapers." "Who wiped your snotty little nose." "Tell me I'm a cancer to this firm... and I'll walk out that door." "You did what you thought was right." "You can't expect me to do anything less." "You want me to be proud of you." "I'm not that big a man." "You have power of life and death overthe market." "Do you know what that means?" "You should be asking for big bucks." " l already get big bucks." " Bigger bucks, then." "I mean, you could call any firm on the street and write your own ticket." " They're calling me." " How can you be so calm?" " Let life flow overyou, caressing you, but not shaking you." "Classic Buddhist philosophy." " Not Jewish?" " Might be." "It allows me to remember that I'll be yesterday's news by, well, by tomorrow." "So what do you have on Transalt's dividend history?" "What does it matter?" "Flip a coin." "You know you'll be right." "[dring!" "]" " Marks." "You know you cost me a fortune." "Who is this?" " l'm very disappointed." "Well, I'm sorry, but I really do-  lf you hang up, you'll never know how I got your personal number." "I know a lot about you, Susannah." "You arrive at work every day at 6:45." "You work out at the Oxford Club twice a week." "And your newsletter made a recommendation that cost me a lot of money." "Well, I..." "I'm sorry about that, but there's really nothing I can do." " On the contrary, there's everything you can do." "Simply recommend Millennia Construction." " Go to hell." " l had hoped this wouldn't get ugly." "Why don't you just think about it for now?" "Susannah, I can be a very good friend or I can be a very bad enemy." "[dial tone]" " Hey, it's not all sweetness and light being on top of the world, now is it?" "You can actually see the lake from here." " Ha, no kidding." "I've been here two years, I haven't actually shmooshed my face up against the glass." "Ah." "Beautiful." "Wow." "You think you know a place." "[chuckling]" "You know, I wasn't really crazy about you when I first met you." " Really?" "And now?" " Now?" "Now you have to leave." " Ha, I've had better reviews." "Oh." "You sure you don't want me to stay?" " l want you to stay, but that felt like you don't want you to stay." "I can always use an extra friend, though, right?" " This isn't personal." "It doesn't have anything to do with you." " Of course it does." "I don't suppose you'd like to talk about it?" "[sighing]" " l know what I said." "It's just gonna take a little longerthan I thought." "I may have to go the dean to ask for a leave." "Yeah, yeah, I know." "[knock-knock!" "]" "I have to go." "No, I'll take care of it next week." "I'll give you Marty." " l don't need you forthat." "No, but you need me to extract the justice you think my father deserves." "You're no different from him." "You are." " Marty only gets 30 days." "Now get the hell out of my office." " l have been greatly reassured by seeing the grace with which my daughter, Sally, has stepped into the role of senior partner." " l am sorry." " This has allowed me to make this decision free of regrets."
