have to do with us?

It's about

valuation, Tom.

Elision has

a Gulfstream.

Case has a Gulfstream.

Ross has a Gulfstream.

Bezos has a Gulfstream.

F***ing Bezos!

The cost of not having one is the

cost of saying to the world that Tom...

Tom is just not

In that league.

And what does that cost? A f*** of

a lot more than a million a month.

A million a month

can be leveraged.

Being looked at

as B-List, can't.

Can't.

You're past

that point, Tom.

I was right about Unison, wasn't I?

They called, just

Like I said they would.

You and Mel just need to

have a little bit of faith.

This will take more

than smoky mirrors.

If you're not part of the solution,

you're part of the problem.

Am I fired?

Just find a

way to do it.

Arbitrage, I don't

care. Wanna know something?

You're gonna like it.

You're gonna

like riding in it.

You're gonna

call me and say,

I'm gonna take

the family to Hawaii.

You got two kids?

Three.

"I'm gonna take the wife

and three kids to Hawaii. "

and I'm gonna say, "Cool.

Why don't you take the G?"

And I'll tell you this.

I promise you this.

When you do,

once you do, Dyl...

Never mind,

just get it.

Hey.

Sarah?

What are you doing here?

Tom.

Hi.

Hey, Dylan.

HI, Sarah.

When did you

get back in town?

Um, just

a couple of weeks ago.

I'm taking

off, Tom.

Gotta get home. Nice

seeing you again, Sarah.

Welcome back.

Thanks, nice

to see you too.

I was just trying to

keep a couple of shifts.

So you're back then.

Yeah. Classes start

next month. So...

Where are

you living?

Same place.

How's your brother?

Josh is good.

Yeah, he's good.

Good.

Tell him I said hello, okay? Bye.

Who was that?

So what do you

want to do tonight?

Taxi!

Well, good night.

Good night.

Recent

polls show that 55% of Americans

disapprove of President Bush

taking a 30-day working vacation.

If the President

returns on Labor Day,

he will tie a lot of records

held by Richard Nixon.

Ben Affleck today,

for alcoholic.

Nicole Kidman says she refuses to be

bitter about the break up with Tom Cruise.

Josh? I'm

just starving right now.

What are

you doing?

Nothing.

You were supposed

to be unpacking.

I'm totally unpacking. Do

you want to order some food?

Tom, you think about what size

you want me to send

to your parents?

What the f*** are

these still doing here?

Hey, what are

these doing here?

Come on, come on, get them

up? Big ones, little ones,

let's go, they don't do

much good sitting here!

Hey Tom,

Charlie Corwin?

Livemusicchannel. com?

F*** that guy.

So what?

A little one?

No, he's through,

he's finished.

F*** him, don't give him sh*t.

You know what? Give him a

little one, what the f***.

Dylan.

Nice Koosh.

We got

problems, Tom.

Josh is on

his way.

Oh, this

is important.

Well, let's get

started without him.

Josh. So what's

all the excitement?

Snowmark sh*t the bed.

They haven't filed yet, but word is out.

And Unisol

pulled their offer.

So where does

that put us?

The NASDAQ went down

and we're doing worse.

We're below a dollar.

Josh!

So what are

our options?

Cutbacks, but then there's

the whole perception thing.

Rumors, the sniping, the

downward spiral could sink us.

So we're probably looking at

another round of financing.

We got an offer

from Barton Ogilvy.

What's the catch?

Second-round financing

is not easy.

They'll pay market value but

they're gonna want a big piece.

How much do I have to give up?

Percentage, Dylan.

What percentage are we

gonna have to give up?

Like fifty.

So Josh and I, we

start this company,

no, we invent

this company,

we bring you two in,

we give you contracts

which we

don't even have.

Now you want to let some

moneybag f*** us up the ass?

A better time to do this might have been

four months ago, Dyl. Before July!

Things have changed.

So we lose

half our company.

We get greeked up the ass

by Barton-f***ing-Ogilvy?

This is no time

to be proud, Tom.

That's not the play. That's

not the way we're gonna do it.

I'll cash-hold

the company myself.

You're leveraged

to the hilt.

I'll find the

f***ing money.

You're broke, Tom.

Get the f*** out

of my office, Dyl!

I just want to talk,

you know, some place

away from the office.

Yeah.

Can I get

the next ball?

Take the left

flipper, come on.

There's some sh*t's

been going down,

it's complicated but I've been

thinking about your future.

Oh, how nice for me.

You've always

been smarter than me.

That's not what's

at issue here.

"At issue?" Are we at a court of law?

Why are you

telling me this?

I want to let

you in on this.

It's an opportunity, it's,

not a Landshark thing,

it's a brothers thing,

a Tom and Josh thing.

What do you

want from me?

You've always been

smarter than me.

The squirrel and

the whatever, you,

you always were

prudent who saved...

Tom, what

do you want?

Just some

working capital.

How much "just

some working capital?"

Enough to get us through the lockup,

to get us to

the other side.

You want me to put myself

on the hook personally?

Josh!

When you said thinking

about your future,

I should've known. When Tom says

"thinking about your future. "

that means "What can I

screw you out of today?"

Yeah.

You got me

all wrong, man.

Oh, yeah, I don't think so.

Know what? You're a great designer, man.

But this is business,

this is money.

You remember, when it

was just me and you

and we were moving

into our first place?

Why do you always

bring this up?

And I said we were gonna

need 15 phone lines?

And you laughed. And

you went down to NYNEX

and they said it was gonna

cost 110 dollars a line

plus deposit, plus it

was gonna take five weeks?

Please, why do you

always tell this story?

And you were

gonna pay it!

I went down there and they installed

them the next day and for free!

Wow!

I know money, man! And

maybe the NASDAQ is up,

maybe the NASDAQ

is down,

but if we could just make

it from here to there,

if we could just make it through

this lockup, these next few weeks,

there's a f***ing pile of

money, man. Just waiting for us.

A mountain of it and we're gonna eat it.

When we're around everybody

else, I got a front.

But with you, I can tell

you when I'm in trouble.

We're in trouble, and

you gotta believe me

when I say that

we're in trouble.

Now we can make

it through this but...

Ineed your help.

You gotta trust me.

Uhh...

Oh, okay.

I mean...

You know what? Just because I'm smart

doesn't mean

I'm stupid, Tom.

Hold on!

Is there anything I can do?

It's all done.

I'll open the wine.

There's wine

open already.

This is a great bottle. You'll like it.

It's a Batard-Montrachet

Grand Cru, 1998.

Am I supposed

to be impressed?

It's really

good, Dad.

Perhaps you could save

it for a special occasion.

And so they asked me to speak at e

- Symposium which is

quite an honor because it's

considered the most important

North American conference

on new technology.
