:52:01
That was when l decided
l couldn't stand around any longer...
:52:04
..hoping the market
would move in my favour.
:52:07
l was gonna have to make it move.
:52:10
l didn't care how much money it took.
:52:12
l was gonna go for broke.
:52:16
The man is single-handedly generating
a fifth of the group's worldwide profits!
:52:21
l know. But $30 million in margin
payments? For one day's trading?
:52:26
You don't seem to understand.
The volumes are enormous!
:52:29
Nick's guy is the biggest
player on SlMEX!
:52:33
(phone rings)
:52:36
- Hello?
- Nick.
:52:38
lt's Brenda.
:52:40
Listen, buddy. This is putting
a terrible strain on our borrowing.
:52:44
Tony Hawes is all over me
about your cash calls.
:52:47
l hear you. But London is
the cash cow for the business here.
:52:50
We just don't have access
to any other funds.
:52:55
lf you keep hassling me
l've a good mind to stop trading.
:52:59
No, no, Nick. lt's OK. Listen...
:53:01
Just get back to me with
some meaningful figures, OK?
:53:05
(whispers) Fuck off.
:53:10
(phone rings)
:53:14
Hello?
:53:15
Thank goodness l caught you.
l know Brenda's giving you a hard time...
:53:20
l don't think any of you understand
how it works out here.
:53:23
You may be right, mate.
Anyway, consider it sorted.
:53:25
But you are gonna have to start
reducing these positions.
:53:28
Well, Ron, l'll see
what l can do, all right?
:53:31
While l've got you, about your bonus...
:53:34
The budget's tight. Though you've been
exceptional there's not much to go round.
:53:38
l thought we had a record year!
:53:40
Yeah. That said, l've put in a special plea
to Peter and he's agreed to go up to 350.
:53:44
350? That's ridiculous!
:53:46
l'm really pushing out
the boat for you, mate.
:53:49
l'm busting my balls here.
l made us the top house in SlMEX.
:53:52
We even got that award
for all the business we're doing!
:53:55
Yeah, l know that, Nick.
:53:57
Look, l'll see what l can do.
:53:59
l'll see if it can't start with a four, eh?
