1:24:00
You drink bourbon, but you
offer your clients Scotch.
1:24:03
And your wife
decorated this office.
1:24:07
He certainly seems
to have your number.
1:24:09
You're a little tougher,
Peter.
1:24:11
For one thing,
you like expensive things.
1:24:13
That's easy.
You've seen my car.
1:24:18
You smoke
Hoyo de Monterreys.
1:24:20
You're a Scotch man,
single malt,
1:24:22
not because it's trendy
but because you've been
doing it for 40 years...
1:24:25
and you like to stay
with what works.
1:24:28
You have two
great loves in your life:
your horses...
1:24:31
and this company.
1:24:33
And you're a man who prides
himself in finding talent
in unusual places.
1:24:39
- How would you know that ?
- Because I'm here.
1:24:42
I'm prepared to do
whatever it takes
to get this job.
1:24:45
I'll start wherever
I have to start.
1:24:47
I'll park cars
if I have to.
1:24:49
The biggest part of judging
character is knowing yourself,
and I know this:
1:24:52
I can do this job.
I can.
1:24:56
Give me a chance, Peter.
I won't let you down.
1:25:04
Alan, why don't you
show Jack around ?
1:25:08
This is our war room.
We did seven major deals
in here last year,
1:25:11
three of them... hostile.
1:25:14
Seven ?
Yeah. You get a kind
of a feeling from--
1:25:16
Can we cut the shit here
for a minute ? Where did you
get that information ?
1:25:19
Did you go through his wallet ?
Did you surf some Net ?
1:25:22
It doesn't really matter
because that circus act
you pulled back there...
1:25:25
may have dazzled Lassiter,
but it doesn't cut any shit
with me.
1:25:27
Even if you get this job,
which I highly doubt,
1:25:29
let me just give you
a word of warning.
1:25:31
Peter Lassiter gets tired
of his pet projects
very, very quickly.
1:25:35
I've got that big office
because I prove myself to him
year after year after year.
1:25:39
Nobody is gonna come in here
and turn the old man's head,
1:25:41
especially not
some tire salesman
from New Jersey.
1:25:44
So if you're cautious
and you're quiet,
1:25:47
you watch yourself,
stay away from Lassiter,
1:25:49
maybe I'll think about
keeping you on here
after he gets bored with you.
1:25:52
Do we understand
each other ?
1:25:55
Alan !
1:25:58
God, you really
are different.
