"But I am a Master of the Universe.
:12:03
"I deserve more. "
:12:14
Like the few privileged others
on Wall Street.

:12:17
How many? Two, three,
maybe 400 at most.

:12:20
For these men,
these Masters of the Universe...

:12:23
...and Sherman McCoy was one of them...
:12:25
...there were no limits whatsoever.
:12:34
Hi. This is 555-8771.
:12:38
Leave a message and I'll call you back.
Thank you.

:12:42
Maria, I've been calling you for days.
Call me at the office.

:12:45
Gene's on from London.
:12:48
-Let's go! Let's go!
-Calm down, Rawlie.

:12:50
Let's not get overexcited.
:12:53
Calm, cool, collated.
:12:55
Let's not lose our composure
over a few hundred million dollars.

:12:58
Christ, Sherman, you must be made of ice.
:13:01
Just remember, a frantic salesman
is a dead one.

:13:06
What the hell will
this crazy Giscard deal cost us?

:13:09
I need $600,000,000 to buy the bonds.
:13:12
You want us to sit on $600,000,000 worth
of French government bonds?

:13:16
I'm confident on this.
It's a real sleeping beauty.

:13:20
-Where are you, Gene?
-At a cricket match.

:13:22
Somebodyjust hit the hell out of the ball.
:13:26
-Who's playing?
-Don't get technical.

:13:28
A bunch of men in white pants.
:13:30
How about it? Are we in or out?
:13:32
Gold has to hold steady.
:13:35
Bernard Sachs is already in
for $300,000,000.

:13:38
Feel better?
:13:39
You are going to make me an old man.
:13:42
A rich old man, Gene. A rich old man.
:13:45
A $600,000,000 deal.
:13:48
Sherman's commission
would be $1. 7 million.

:13:51
All in a day's work.
:13:53
He was there! At the top!
:13:55
Impervious, untouchable...
:13:57
...insulated by wealth and power.
:13:59
A Master of the Universe.
