Assault on Wall Street Page #2

---

I'm not, I can't let you spend

our whole life savings.

Stop, stop! Stop.

Listen to me, we need

the treatments,

you need to get well.

Once we get well we

can have our baby

and live the life we

wanna live, okay?

Okay, good night.

Good night.

Hey girl.

Hey boy.

What's it look like

I'm doing?

Hey... we're not supposed

to get pregnant yet.

We can practice.

Yeah...

Yeah?

Jim, I love you so much.

Dude, that sucks!

There's an actual coverage cap

on the insurance,

that means that there's

really literally like,

a limit to how much you

can spend on Rosie

per month for her medical?

it says if you get too sick

and it's too expensive,

they stop f***ing paying.

I was planning on having

by the time I was 60.

I guess if I get sick I'd

be better off swallowing

my own gun.

Rosie's worried out

of her f***ing mind.

So what are you gonna do?

I got some money tucked away,

army disability,

stuff like that.

I'll call my broker.

I hear the market's

sh*t right now man,

what are you invested in?

Structured notes,

whatever's safest.

F***, I hope so bro.

I'll call in the lunch.

F***.

I'm not making enough.

What up you lazy bastards?

What'd you do,

just roll out of bed?

It's Jim Baxford.

No, no... second shift.

Lunch for you,

breakfast for us.

Just sit down and shut up,

we already ordered for you.

Tom gets the cheeseburger,

Jim... chili.

Cold chili, and he's always

surprised, you know?

But he always finishes.

Give me a couple of

days, call the office.

Oh uh, what's going on with

my funds?

Uh... Jim, look I

really gotta...

I'm in a... I'll talk to

you in a couple days...

Hello?

That's what he meant, that's

what he was thinking about.

F***ing hell.

Hey man.

F***ing a**hole.

My broker, phone

keeps dropping out.

Everybody's cheesed

about their broker these days.

Frank and me just learned

that we have lost 20 percent

of our pension.

Gone, like watery piss

in the wind.

I don't know, bad investments

on the part of idiots like us.

to some of those

administration meetings.

Those meetings are bullshit!

Our administrators only

do what's good for them,

no matter how many people go

to those goddamn meetings,

they should call it

collective ball scratching.

You know what me and Freddy

do with our day?

We bust homeless people for

sleeping in the park, or uh...

we bust some stupid

shmuck for jaywalking,

but the real f***ing criminals,

they're downtown

on Wall Street,

wearing suits that cost more

than any of us make in a year.

And those mother f***ers steal

more money than any a**hole

on Riker's Island

ever dreamed of stealing,

and if they get caught,

which they won't get caught,

but if they did they'd

get an ankle bracelet

and put under house arrest.

In their mansions where

the hookers come to you.

Yeah and they spend

the night.

Well the expensive

kind of hookers

that you want to

spend the night,

Wall Street hookers.

Wall Street... pow, pow!

F*** those guys you know

what I mean, f*** them.

Yeah, you guys are doing a

real good job of cheering

my buddy up over here.

Oh, we're just talking sh*t,

Jim.

I'm sure you'll be all right.

Hey fellas, the usual?

I didn't order fries,

that's his.

All around.

Beef for you.

Where's my chili?

It's coming!

My f***ing chili.

Make sure it's warm.

It's freezing cold.

Great.

I don't know why we come here,

the food sucks.

But the site's good.

At least it's warm.

That's true.

How's Rosie doing, Jim?

She's hanging in there.

It's been a tough year,

you know?

She's a fighter.

Give her our best.

Yeah.

She's a trooper that one,

Rosie.

She's a good girl.

How's your wife?

Great.

She's cheating on me.

What?

If you guys need anything else,

just give me a holler.

What happened?

I'm a cop, I got married,

it's inevitable.

It is.

How did you find out?

I read her text messages.

Erotic reading,

let me tell you.

Well what are you gonna do?

whoever he is, or to thank him

from the bottom of my heart

for keeping her occupied

and off my back.

It's a real conundrum here.

Now, can we just talk

about something else, huh?

Talk about his girlfriend.

Who, yours?

I heard on the news and

they were talking about

who you'd wanna have

sex with, right?

A., your wife or B., before

he could even answer,

she could... blah!

I f***ed it up.

Husband and wife are

laying in bed...

the wife says to the husband,

"listen, when I die

would you get another

woman in my bed?"

He says, "uh... yeah."

She says "uh, well

will you marry her?",

he says "well, maybe".

She says, "will you let

her use my golf clubs?",

he says "no!

She's left handed".

You guys wonder why

you're divorced,

Hey, you know you

did it right Jim,

you didn't marry a cop's wife.

You married a girl

you actually love.

Yeah, I hear that.

She's a keeper that Rosie,

for sure.

Cheers to you guys.

Cheers.

Jim and Rosie.

Simon Johnson, could you

highlight for our viewers

the plutocratic capturing of

American politics?

Well there are several

examples... Robert Rubin,

co-chairman of Goldman Sachs

serves as treasury secretary

under Clinton, and when he

leaves he becomes chairman

Jon Corzine, governor of New

Jersey, head of NF Global...

John Snow, secretary of

treasury under Bush,

leaves to become chairman of

Cerberus Capital Management,

a very large private equity

firm that also has Dan Quayle

Allan Greenspan, head

of the Federal Reserve

leaves to become

a consultant...

Hey girl.

Hey boy.

How you feeling?

A little better.

Good.

Mostly responsible for

deregulating financial

derivatives

and then proceeds to make

millions of dollars

in hedge funds that invest in

those very same derivatives

that he deregulated.

Henry Paulson, CEO

of Goldman Sachs

leaves Goldman Sachs to join

the Bush government

as secretary of treasury

with a 50 million dollar...

I have a treatment

tomorrow, can you make it?

Absolutely.

And about the payment,

uh...

Babe, we gotta use

the cards

until we can get

this thing fixed.

Jim, they just raised the

interest rate on the cards

and I've already put some

bills on there, so...

Babe, it's all right.

Well it's just you've been

working so hard lately, and...

I know, I know... what

choice do we have?

I'm doing this for us.

Okay.

You coming to bed?

In a minute.

All right.

Chris Dodd, chairman of

the banking committee in

the Senate,

collected 13 million

in campaign funds.

Apparently...

Ahh... ahh!

Ouch... All right,

see you next week.

Let's get outta here.

Jim...

What the hell's going on?

but your note's been

d-listed from the exchange.

D-listed, what does

that mean?

There's an investigation

going on right now.

Into what?

An investigation into

some investment portfolios.

It looks like a significant

portion of your fund

was diverted into paper that

is, well... a little suspect.

Meaning, you don't know...

No, no I don't.

No one knows right now.

You're my broker,

it's what you do.
