1:05:01
Actually, l´ve been married
for ten years.

1:05:04
Oh, yeah? That´s great.
Yeah, six years for me.

1:05:07
So, listen. Are you
playing the market at all?

1:05:10
I don´t know about playing.
I do own some blue chips.

1:05:13
They were actually
wedding gifts from friends.

1:05:15
Listen, we have an explosive situation
going on right now.

1:05:19
A pharmaceutical company,
Farrow Tech...

1:05:21
has a drug called Parattin
in the third stage of F.D.A. approval.

1:05:25
- What´s it do?
- That´s a goodquestion.

1:05:27
That´s a very good question,
and this is the best part.

1:05:30
It helps premature babies
develop properly.

1:05:32
- That sounds like a good drug.
- It is. It is.

1:05:34
So, those blue chips you own, what have
they done since you got married?

1:05:38
- Not that much, really.
- We deal in stocks that really move.

1:05:41
Oh, yeah.
They really move.

1:05:44
I´d love to show you what I mean,
and I can do so on a small investment.

1:05:48
I really can´t
buy anything right now.

1:05:50
My wife and I are getting ready
to buy a house this month...

1:05:52
and we´re trying to save
every last penny.

1:05:55
Look, I don´t care
how much stock you pick up.

1:05:58
I just want you to test me out.
1:05:59
I want you to judge me
on the percentages I show you.

1:06:03
I show you 30 or 40%, no matter how big
or small your position is...

1:06:06
you´re gonna get excited
about my next idea, right?

1:06:09
- Yeah.
- You´d hand out my business cards.

1:06:12
Right? Do this:
Pick up a hundred shares.

1:06:16
It´s the absolute firm minimum.
If I show you...

1:06:19
three or four points on the trade,
it´s not gonna make you rich.

1:06:21
On the same token,
if the stock doesn´t go anywhere...

1:06:23
you´re not in front ofyour store
with a cup in your hand.

1:06:25
- No, that´s true.
- Look, the truth of the matter is...

1:06:29
I could sell you more
than 100 shares...

1:06:31
and feel completely
comfortable about the trade.

1:06:33
But l´m asking you to start small
just to prove what I can do for you.

1:06:40
All right.
Let´s try it.

1:06:42
Great. Should I send the confirmation
to your business or your home?

1:06:46
I need to talk to my wife.
1:06:48
No, you don´t need to do that.
I´ll call you right back.

1:06:50
- I´m goin´ to lunch in five minutes.
- I need to talk to her first.

1:06:53
- Harry, you´re at work, aren´t you?
- Yeah.

1:06:55
What do you do for a living?
1:06:57
I´m a purchasing manager
at a gourmet foods company.
