:39:00
Oh, fuck it! Gimme the phone.
:39:04
Print me up a balance
on the eights account.
:39:06
Hi, Loy.
:39:07
Nick! You're a hard man to pin down.
:39:10
You know how it is.
What can l do you for?
:39:12
- Quite a position you've been buying.
- We're happy.
:39:15
l don't know how the client
wants to play it.
:39:18
Who is this mystery client, Nick?
He must have rather large balls.
:39:21
l'm sorry, mate.
Client confidentiality and all that.
:39:25
ls it Pierre Beaumarchais?
:39:28
Sorry, Loy, l... gotta go.
l'll speak to you later.
:39:32
Speak to you some other time.
:39:35
Jesus Christ, Bonnie. lt's 7.78 billion yen!
:39:39
- Do you want the dollar amount? lt's...
- Yeah, yeah, $77.8 million.
:39:43
Book me the following notional trade.
:39:45
Selling 1 ,000 December 21 ,500
put options at a price of... 7778.
:39:50
Then print me a new report after that
entry so it shows 7.78 billion yen...
:39:54
- ..as if it was owing to us from SlMEX.
- Sure, Nick.
:39:58
Then fax Brenda Granger in London,
asking for more funds.
:40:01
Say we've had a large margin call
on our client positions.
:40:04
How much?
:40:05
A million.
:40:07
Make it two.
:40:12
(phone rings)
:40:17
- Nick!
- Mm?
:40:20
Nick, it's the phone.
:40:27
- Hello?
- (Baker) l'm not disturbing you, am l?
:40:30
lt's 2am.
:40:32
Oh, Christ. Sorry, mate. Had no idea.
:40:34
The old farts are getting nervous. They
want you to unwind the position a little.
:40:38
That's easier said than done. Don't want
to send the wrong signal to the market.
:40:42
Yeah, yeah.
:40:43
Second, we need another 2 million profit
by next month to secure our bonuses.
:40:48
Two million? Ron, what planet
do you live on, mate?
:40:51
One minute you want me
to unwind the positions...
:40:54
Failure is not an option, mate.
:40:56
See you at the junket in London
in three weeks' time.
