We can't keep promising

fifty percent returns.

We are committing fraud.

Should we give it back?

Honestly, Joe, the only

difference between high risk...

investing and a Ponzi

scheme, is how it all ends.

That check is just one more

reason, to pull it all off.

You know what beats a kids college fund?

Four kids college funds.

We are gonna make Baxter so much money...

he pays off both his mortgages.

And sends every kid to grad school.

Hi, I'm meeting Burt Langdon.

Oh, Mr. Langdon just called.

He wanted me to tell you that

he had a family emergency...

and that he will call you

tomorrow and he was very sorry.

Oh, thanks.

Okay, so who has got the big

schlong, is it Scott or Kyle?

What? You are sleeping with both of them!

No, but it is kind of a disaster.

Something is very wrong with you guys.

Are you following me?

What? No, I had a meeting here.

I think he is stalking you.

No, I swear. You can ask the hostess.

We're kidding.

I have to go meet Dean.

No, you don't.

Such a nightmare when your

girlfriends hate your boyfriend.

Oh...

Come on, I'll take you to

see Scotty boy or is it Kyle?

Whoever is home.

- Love you, babes.

- Bye.

- See you tonight at the gallery.

- Bye.

So, do you not like Dean for Q?

Or do you just not like Dean at all?

I am not a fan of Mean Dean.

Mean Dean?

Why does everyone call him that?

You don't know?

In third grade he burned down

the game room at Camp Tawonga...

and blamed my cousin Jake for it.

Jake got sent home for the entire summer...

and Dean won the camp tennis championship.

That's not a coincidence.

You are talking about third grade.

A leopard doesn't change its spots.

Acutally a leopard does change its spots...

according to Scientific American.

Are you always this ahh, literal?

Oh yeah, always.

Do you want some?

No thanks.

I'm good.

Do you not drink?

I've actually never had a sip.

Tell me more.

What do you want to know?

Everything.

Wow, okay.

Yeah, I'm from the Valley.

I went to Harvard School for

Boys on a full scholarship.

My mom left when I was 15.

So I choose to stay with

my dad. Okay, your turn.

I grew up in Beverly Hills.

I went to an all-girls high school.

My parents are still together,

happily if there's such a thing.

Have you always wanted to be an artist?

Always is a strong word, but yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

Cool. And you said you had a show tonight?

Not me, my boss.

JOE:
Oh, is his stuff any good?

I'll let you be the judge.

Was that an invitation?

Hey, Dad.

Where did you get all the fancy clothes?

At Armani, they're nice, right?

With the way things are going...

we're not gonna have to worry

about anything ever again.

- I'm gonna set you up.

- You're gonna set me up?

Yeah.

BBC is really taking off.

I'm going to get you out of this sh*t hole.

I thought that the one good

thing I did in my life was to

get you an quality education.

So you can have a better life than me.

But had I known that you were

going to emulate these people

that think they are better than us.

Joe, it's my experience

that if you are honest

in business, things don't happen this fast.

You worry too much.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Dude, this suit is lethal.

Joe, gold was down 15 percent at the bell.

It'll correct.

What do you mean the installers broke it!

- I'm sorry...

- Just get out of my sight!

Now!

You look beautiful.

Hardly.

Nice suit.

Look, if you ever want

to be taken seriously...

in the art world, you'll run.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sydney.

Seriously, you are going to

let this guy bring you down?

This guy?

Look at his glasses.

He looks like Clark Kent on Quaaludes.

They are very fashionable glasses.

Seriously, Sydney.

How many people would be here

tonight, if it wasn't for you?

How many of these ideas, did he run by you?

He's lucky to have you.

So lucky...

Come on, let's go fix this thing.

I think I got it.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

You didn't have to stay.

You kidding me, this is rad.

Looking from

the window above

It's like a story of

love Can you hear me

Came back only yesterday

Moving farther away

Want you near me

All I needed was

the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

This is our ticket to

the deal of the century.

It was originally built

for gold, but Joe thinks...

we make a fortune using

it in the energy sector.

So there's a company in

Chicago, it's called Cogenco.

They turn oil-burning furnaces into coal.

But they are in Chapter 11...

because they still haven't

figured out how to grind it.

So you want to use a gold mill for coal?

This deal, is worth a quarter

of a billion dollars...

in the first three years.

And we are using your money to buy it.

Told ya, Ron, Joe is a genius.

Yeah, I know you told me, Dean.

But it is a forgone conclusion

that everything you say...

is completely full of sh*t.

Is that the bouncer?

That is my new bodyguard.

Why do you need a bodyguard?

Exactly what we want each share-holder

to wonder when we walk in.

Tim, it's good to see you!

Good to be seen.

DEAN (V.O.):
Cogenco had

big debts, $3 million worth.

We agreed to pay them off using

Ron's money and in exchange

the board agreed to sell us

the company and merge it.

All we had to do now...

Ladies and gentlemen.

...convince the shareholders.

I stand before you today with a proposal.

So what's the question?

The 1,000-pound elephant in this room...

is 'how old are these

boys?' Well let me tell ya.

I'm 24.

My Chief Operating Officer, Dean Karny.

He's 25.

In fact, there isn't a single

member of BBC Consolidated...

that's over the age of 30.

And that should scare you.

You're damn right it does.

Because you have no clue how

we solved in a matter of months

what 10 years of R&D has

landed you $3 million in debt

and one vote away from bankruptcy.

Inaction right now will render you extinct!

But guts right now will make you rich!

The choice is yours.

DEAN (V.O.):
Three hours after

walking into that room...

we left with a deal

for two corporations...

twelve million in stock options...

and patents worth a

quarter billion dollars.

F*** Google. F***

Facebook. F*** them all!

We were the first.

This house was inspired by Richard Myren.

Three bedrooms, two baths.

It can be rented unfurnished

or fully furnished...

that's up to you.

What are we doing here?

What do you think, Dean?

We owe disbursements to everyone...

and no one is reinvesting.

How can we afford this place?

Ron is wiring us our half

of the profits next week.

Then we own Congenco and

a deal worth $250 million.

Wow.

Remember when you said

you wanted to get me...

out of the valley, Dean.

Yeah.

Don't tell me you don't want to

wake up to this every morning.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Do you realize the kind of whales...

we can reel in with this place?

This place legitimizes

us on the ultimate level.

A couple of turntables by the jacuzzi.

Paint that pool purple and this

place goes off like an ICBM.
