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?

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.

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.
:14:02
A great height
from which to view the world.

:14:05
A great height from which to fall.
:14:36
Sherman, you are an absolute angel
coming all the way out here.

:14:41
I had to talk to you.
I did a very stupid thing.

:14:45
Are we going to talk about it now?
:14:48
I'm afraid we have to.
:14:50
Sherman, don't you want
a little poontang first?

:14:55
I know it has its funny side,
but it isn't funny.

:14:59
It's your own fault for getting caught
like a red herring.
