Arbitrage Page #2

Good. Very good.

Is this too blue?

That's the third one you've tried on.

Will you just relax? It looks fabulous.

What's going on?

I look old.

You look regal.

And wise.

And, granted, a little worried.

What is going on?

Are you afraid of this meeting?

They haven't signed the papers.

I thought that's why you went down there.

So did I.

For some reason they're stalling.

And I didn't sleep on the plane.

It's all going to be fine.

It always is. Just follow the plan.

And what is that plan?

Confidence equals contract.

You sound like a fortune cookie.

They are your words, actually.

- Then you married an idiot.

- Okay.

But I was thinking, idiot,

that maybe after the deal is done

which it definitely will be,

maybe we could just take off.

What do you say? Let's have an adventure.

Pete's in the best place he's ever been.

- Your daughter, as always, is brilliant.

- Yeah.

Right? So, I wanna have some fun.

I wanna have fun with you.

Let's go to Rovella. The house there.

We haven't been there forever.

I haven't had time.

Well, you have to make time.

We could take a year.

Let's take a year and get fat and

have fun and go on an adventure.

I mean seriously.

How much money do we need?

Do you want to be

the richest guy in the cemetery?

I don't want to be in the cemetery.

By the way, Mary called

from St. Victor's Hospital again.

- She hasn't gotten the check.

- Yeah, I'm taking care of it.

The gala is Friday. Should I be

selling my ring? What's going on?

I've had to move

a lot of things around for this merger.

It hasn't been easy. It's very complicated.

It's only two million.

- Only two million?

- Yeah.

- You remember Riccio's?

- Yeah.

Full meals, two bucks.

All you can eat, three bucks.

I do remember.

But I do not remember

you being this sentimental

unless you're trying to change the subject.

I don't know what you're talking about.

How are you? Good evening, Mr. Miller.

Nice to see you.

Julian.

Your table has been waiting.

And your guests are here.

Excellent.

Enjoy your dinner.

- Where the hell is Mayfield?

- I don't know.

- Mr. Miller.

- Thank you so much for coming.

Good to see you again.

We were just getting acquainted

with Peter and Brooke here.

I hope they didn't beat you up too much.

No, they've been terrific.

Dad, we've been talking about operations.

Tim thinks once we consolidate

we can save about 50%

on our back office costs.

Yeah. I'd like to hear more about that, but...

I had thought that Mr. Mayfield

planned to meet us here tonight.

Yeah. Jim should be here

in about 2O minutes.

So he suggested

that we get right into details.

I was just saying to Brooke

now that we can market

your quants' track records

we have access to a host of new capital.

And we've got something very special.

Something we're thrilled about.

New capital is exciting.

And that's why we're here.

Talk to us a bit about oversight.

I mean, obviously,

we've been very successful

with what we do because...

We feel passionate about it.

We hope that it spreads across the...

Thank you.

Assuming we shed debt

through some small liquidations,

we're looking at a significant uptick

in our R.O.l.

I don't want to pin a number on it,

but significant.

I'm sorry, gentlemen. We've been here

almost two hours now.

Where is Mr. Mayfield?

He just texted me.

He's very sorry, but he's been detained.

Detained?

Where?

I think I can trust you with my family.

- Mr. Miller, again, it was a privilege.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dad?

This is the bullshit way

you try to close a deal?

Pod?

Would you like some... Have some port?

Dad. Did you get my message?

No. What's up?

We need to sit down.

- What is it?

- I can't talk about it here.

Brooke?

I found some strange entries

in the Old Hill books.

What kind of entries?

I don't know yet.

But something's definitely off.

All right. All right.

Come by around 11:00 tomorrow.

We'll look at it then.

And Brooke?

See if you can find out what

happened with Mayfield, all right?

Excuse me. Thanks.

- Good evening, Mr. Miller.

- Hey.

So how are they doing?

Great! Everyone loves them.

How are they doing?

So-so.

Where's Julie?

- She's in the back.

- Thanks.

So?

I see you've met already. Victor Rodriguez.

Isn't it amazing?

This is Robert Miller,

one of our collectors.

- This is Alex Stanton.

- Alex.

And their daughter Ava.

She's a talented young artist.

Really? A painter?

Drawing.

Drawing? That's great.

So, I like the size of the paintings.

I want to talk to you about them in a second.

Why are you doing this?

Go away.

Emma, let me see the list.

I will take these two.

And what's the Rubik's Cube

on the back wall?

Number seven.

All right, great. Don't tell her it was me.

No problem.

- I mean it.

- You got it.

Excuse me.

Who is this?

It's me.

What do you want?

I'm here.

Where?

I'm in your bedroom.

Came in the back.

Can you get those people out of here?

Are you serious?

Look at your bedroom door. You see me?

Yeah, I see you.

I'm serious.

Excuse me, guys.

You know? I'm so sorry! I know! I know!

You just come in and out

whenever you want?

I thought we should talk.

One damn night in a month!

I told you it was important to me!

I was working. Do you understand that?

I have obligations!

I'm under a lot of pressure right now!

I don't want to hear about your obligations!

If you cared you would have been there.

I was there! I was there! I was late,

but I was there! And I'm here now.

You're here when it's convenient

for you to be here.

Love means you f***ing show up.

So FFY...

Why did you buy those paintings?

'Cause I liked them.

Okay. Thank you for helping me

to get started.

But if I'm going to fail, then let me fail!

Julie, you won't fail. Why would you fail?

You know,

I'm not the kind of guy

that wants to throw money away.

You want to start a business,

you have to project a certain image.

What image?

Success.

The market's a disaster right now.

For everybody. No one is moving anything.

So, that's why you've got to show sales.

People look at you then and they say,

"Wow. How did she do that?"

And that's what they remember always.

You're never gonna leave her.

Come away with me.

Let's take your car and go.

Where?

The place upstate.

Beautiful on the water.

We could wake up there together.

Just you and me.

I'd like that.

Me, too.

Julie? Julie?

God!

Yes. I want to make a collect.

Your name, sir?

Lawrence Grant.

Who the f*** is this?

Jimmy? It's me.

Robert?

I want you to listen to me very, very closely.

Vehicle is a 1978 brown Mercedes

registered to a Julie Cte.

You've got to be f***ing kidding me.

Catching Detective wants

us to rule before he calls it.

We've been having

the same f***ing argument for 20 years.

They can't handle one drunk

motorist kills herself?

You know what? I'm not so sure about this.

Look, the car rolled into multiple impacts.

But she was here.

And her feet were down here.
