There hasn't been written work
at Ruppert High for 20 years.

:42:08
How do you keep track of the kids?
:42:10
There must be some records.
:42:13
You're thinking about
honor students and grades.

:42:16
We don't make those comparisons.
We just try to keep them off the streets.

:42:20
At Ruppert, an honor student...
:42:22
...is somebody who comes to class
and doesn't piss on the teacher.

:42:31
By that standard...
:42:33
...was Henry Lamb an honor student?
:42:38
He never pissed on me.
:42:40
No, you're exaggerating the situation.
The franc is no problem.

:42:45
We can hedge that to next January,
to the term or to both, whatever.

:42:50
I don't think that's necessary.
:42:56
Look, Bernard, we've had our share of....
:43:00
Hell, I wouldn't even call them...problems,
so let's not work ourselves up...

:43:06
...into a...coma.
:43:08
Jesus Christ, let me see that!
:43:10
No, not you, Bernard.
:43:21
Wait. What the hell are you talking about?
:43:25
No, we can't wait.
We have to move on this thing now.

:43:31
You're bringing up phantom issues!
:43:34
We must pull ourselves together
and fucking do it!

:43:41
But it was too late. It was gone.
:43:43
Oh, Jesus.
:43:46
$600,000,000.

On Wall Street, a frantic salesman was
a dead salesman. And Sherman knew it.
