to you about the minutia...

of why we are here.

So, Joe? You want to...

Want to tell them about our proposal?

DEAN (V.O.):
You want

to talk about a paradox?

Joe's bad break was our lucky day.

When he got caught in my lie...

we broke through to

a whole, new level.

All he had to do was

cross one tiny line.

Gentlemen!

You are the young Turks

of L.A. heirs to empires...

sons of scions.

But, what would you do

to earn it on your own?

To look your fathers in

the eye, not for a handout.

But with a handful of cash,

that you pulled down, with this!

Dump the opportunity at your

fingertips? F*** no! Seize it.

Now is the time to own your own destiny...

and become part of something great!

The BBC.

What does BBC stand for?

Exactly.

Within that question lies our hook?

Each investor will ask, "What is

BBC?" Are we a holding company?

Are we an investment

pool? Are we a social club?

All the above.

Buy on mystery. Sell on history.

I like it.

Sounds like old money.

F*** old money!

How about we make some new money?

We all stand on the verge of

wildly profitable ventures...

in this room alone.

Scott, you bought a Benz

in Munich, drove it...

across Europe and sold it right

here for twice what you paid.

That is a hundred percent profit.

Charlie, how many times

have you advised your dad...

on energy stocks, only for

him to make the big move.

And Kyle, you believed

in my trading system...

to the tune of $10,000.

- You what?

- I did?

Yes! You did!

And here's your first disbursement check!

Wait, five thousand

dollars? Is this what's left?

No, that is profit.

DEAN (V.O.):
Instead of

admitting we lost five grand...

The rest is still in gold.

DEAN (V.O.):
Joe told

them we made five grand.

Fifty percent, in three weeks.

Yeah.

God damn.

This is just a loan.

Okay.

What do we do if he

asks for his money back?

Look, Dean, this weekend?

You're gonna scrounge up every dime...

so we can reinvest and make his money back.

You got it, Joe.

So guys, think it over, let us know.

We'll see you later.

Bullshit.

You guys are coming out with us tonight.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Yo, Tim!

This cash machine, right here,

is my new best friend, Joe Hunt.

If he ever waits in line again,

and I'll sic the wolf on you.

He doesn't mean that,

Tim. Pleasure to meet you.

Welcome to Spago, Mr. Hunt.

Thanks, Tim.

Hello, Tim.

Ladies.

Gentlemen, if I may.

To Paradox Philosophy.

Wait, wait, wait, Para-what?

Paradox Philosophy.

It's our theory that is

outlined in each prospectus.

Three weeks ago, Joe blew

his pitch to you guys.

And tonight, he made you five grand, Kyle.

That is a paradox.

Winning by losing.

Seeing the paradox

allows you to do things...

that you thought you couldn't.

Cross lines you said you wouldn't.

For example, Charlie.

What is the worst thing

you can imagine doing?

The worst? Murder?

Okay, perfect.

So could you kill someone

for a million dollars?

No.

See?

That's a line you can't cross.

Yeah, but who would?

Well, no one here for sure, but...

Kyle, what if you walked into a room...

and your mother was being raped?

Would you kill then?

If my mother was being

raped? Yes, well, f*** yeah.

Yeah, but under those

circumstances, anybody would.

Okay, so then change the circumstances...

and you'll cross that line...

the line you said you wouldn't cross.

So by shifting your perspective

you can justify anything.

Justify, that implies right and wrong.

But if you reconcile your perspective...

then right and wrong become relative.

Chateau la fete Rothschild,

1959 finest Bordeaux.

Hey, yo, we didn't order that.

This is complements of Chef

Puck's closest friend, sir.

Dean. Excuse me, boys.

He asks that you go alone.

That's okay, come on, Dean.

I think he's awful.

You think he's talented?

Yes, I do.

Oh my God, his art is...

Graffiti, first of all, looks bourgeois.

No, it doesn't.

And all of his art looks

like it's finger painting.

I love finger painting, it's so mature.

Oh, that's why everyone

thinks he's a genius.

Because you love him,

and you say it publicly.

WARHOL:
So?

But I'm telling you this,

no one is gonna remember...

Jean-Michel Basket...

Basquiat.

Basquiat... in like, 15

minutes. Forget about it.

- Oh, Joe, hello.

- Mr. Levin.

You came to say hi, and

you brought Dean anyway.

Mr. Levin, I want to say

thank you for the wine.

And but of course I had to

bring my partner with me.

Well, I guess I'll have to respect that.

But if you don't call me Ron,

I might have to murder you.

And this is my friend, Andy. Andy, Joe.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

WARHOL:
Nice to meet you.

Andy is in town doing, are you ready?

An episode of The Love

Boat, with Milton Berle.

Oh, and apparently Milton

Berle has a Love Boat...

between his legs.

WARHOL:
It's true.

Any dick contest, he takes

out just enough to win.

- It's as big as a salami.

- It is?

- It's big, it's like huge.

- Wow.

Do you like salami, Joe?

Who doesn't, dude?

So you know, Ron.

We just cleared fifty

percent in three weeks.

Really? And I thought for sure

you took a horrible beating...

this afternoon.

No.

I shorted gold hard and

made out like a bandit.

Well, that is quite a return.

I'm serious.

We really should get together

and talk about you investing.

You see I knew it the

moment I saw you, Joe.

You're a hustler, just like me.

Thank you so much for coming to say hi.

You will excuse us, won't you, Joe?

Of course, of course.

Joe, this is for you. Sugar,

because you are so sweet.

Thank you so much.

I say we write two checks right now, bro.

Think so?

I f***ing know so, bro!

Hey this goose shits golden eggs.

Hey Joe! Joe!

Hey, can we have a word real quick?

Our dad is always riding our ass

saying "Think about the future."

Well here is our thoughts.

Kill it.

- Yes! Yes!

- Go make us some money.

Have a good night.

Hey, your name is Sydney,

right? And you are an artist.

I work for one.

No, I hear you are a

really talented artist.

Dean told me. Right?

We have an investment company.

And I was just talking to Andy Warhol.

Do you know Andy Warhol,

have you heard of him?

Come see me!

Obviously yeah, you have heard of him.

Yeah.

But, I'm you know, trying

to land people like Andy.

But I don't know anything about the scene.

It looks like you are getting

to know the scene pretty well.

No, the art scene.

I don't know the first thing about it.

So, I was thinking,

maybe you could tutor me?

Tutor you?

You know, give me a crash course in art.

I don't know anything about it.

I got this for you.

It could be down payment on a crash course.

I'll think about it.

(ENGINE STARTING)

DEAN (V.O.):
Joe sold

the world that night.

And the Biltmores'

money put us to work.

Before the Euro, there

were these things...

called Deutsche Marks.

And dollars bought German

sh*t for dirt cheap...

that we could sell here

for a hefty markup.

We made a deal with

Scott's guy in Munich...
