Duplicity Page #2

but you're upside down, sister;

I own you;

- You've 10 seconds to get your hand off me;

- Or what? You won't be my friend anymore?

I like this gig;

I like the money; I like the hours;

So I'm not going anywhere,

and you're gonna get over it

because if you ever mention again

that you don't wanna work with me

or that we've met before or that you think

someone else might do a better job,

if I get replaced for any reason at all,

I'm gonna call those suckers

over at Burkett% Randle

and tell them they have an Equikrom spy

in the heart of their security team;

Be a shame to let the last 14 months

go down the drain, wouldn't it?

So where's my package?

Tell Duke this is the one

he's been waiting for;

- You screw this up, I'll ruin your life;

- I thought you tried that already;

RAY:
You wanna take one last shot

at that apology?

Okay; Thank you;

What'd she say exactly?

I mean, her exact words;

She said, "Tell Duke

this is the one he's been waiting for;"

- PAM:
Do you wanna do it?

- Go ahead;

DUKE:
Easy; Just; ; ;

Just, you know, pull it out;

- Slowly; Slowly, slowly;

- Duke;

All right, go ahead;

Pam, Pam, easy, don't tear it;

Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, just; ; ; Careful;

- For Christ's sake, Duke, keep your shirt on;

- Just; ; ;

Do something useful;

Punch up Tully's fingerprints;

Wow; Look at this;

So is this the big one?

- I gotta call Garsik right away;

- PAM:
Yeah;

DUKE:
Come on;

I need a secure line at Equikrom;

- How are you?

- Good; How are you?

CLAIRE; Houston;

This was over the weekend;

NED; Who are they?

Researchers at the fragrance lab down there,

when they're not dealing ecstasy;

Track it;

West Coast Market Coordinator

of the Floor Wax Division;

Came back from lunch on Friday,

handed in his resignation;

- Unexpected?

- Very;

Three kids in private school,

he just remortgaged his house,

- and the wife has a heart condition;

- All right;

Well, get his financials, phone, e-mail,

and get the wife's prognosis;

CLAIRE:
Senior V;P;, Medical Disposables;

He called in Sunday,

lost his laptop in the Denver Airport;

Why does this guy look familiar?

He had a briefcase

full of sales projections stolen last year;

- Is this the guy who bought the boat?

- Same guy;

- All right; Get a team up his ass tonight;

- I sent them this morning;

(PHONE RINGING)

We're in a meeting;

Now? Everyone?

Well, did they say why?

It's Tully; Mr; Tully's coming down;

He wants the entire floor gathered

in five minutes;

AIDE; Dick, it's just that you have

a very busy schedule today;

RICHARD:
Yeah, well, something's come up;

AIDE:
There's the dandruff shampoo

marketing presentation at 3:00;

- Cancel;

- They're in the building;

Make it tomorrow;

The nail polish R% D group from Germany

is at 3:
45;

Reschedule;

You've got a premium diaper teleconference

- at 4:
15;

- Tape it;

The nasal decongestant

rebranding numbers are in;

- They wanted 15 minutes at around; ; ;

- Cancel!

And the toothpaste; And the car wax dinner;

Cancel it all;

RICHARD:
All right, let's have a look at me;

There should be another vehicle;

Yeah; Change of plans;

You're going with them;

Everybody's going; Let's go, come on;

Get out there and sell it, folks!

Go, go, go! Come on!

Get the hell out of here!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Get out! Leave it running;

Leave it running; I'm driving;

DALE:
This is starting to look pretty good;

DUKE:
I can't even tell them apart;

Which one is the new one?

Right here;

- This is 16;

- That's a match;

Boris, handwriting?

Hundred percent; It's Howard Tully;

DUKE:
All right;

Burkett% Randle, here we come!

Guys?

RICHARD:
Duke? I'm locked out; Again;

Yeah, I'm standing right outside;

Of course it's me!

Who the hell else has this number?

Yeah, okay; Duke, you know,

for all the money that I'm spending on this,

you could've given me a code

that I can remember;

Sir!

What the hell is this?

Why are we here?

We are here today

because the rules have changed;

We're here because the fabric of integrity

has been so abused and mangled

that it is little more

than a threadbare memory;

We're here because it's no longer enough

to have the best ideas,

or the best manufacturing,

or the best pipeline to deliver your product;

"We're here today because we find ourselves

in a world where duplicity and theft

"are tested daily as replacements

for innovation and perseverance;"

(LAUGHING)

"Tested daily;" What a bunch of crap;

Can you believe this?

This from a guy who bought a dump

so he could go through our garbage;

I believe the history

of all successful endeavors

can be reduced to a series

of decisive moments;

"There are moments in the history

of all things

"where the placement of a single; ; ;"

; ; ; where the placement of a single molecule

can make the difference

between triumph and catastrophe;

I mean, who the hell writes

with a fountain pen anymore?

For Christ's sake;

How fricking pretentious is that?

This room we're in now,

this entire program,

was created in anticipation

of just such a moment;

You people are the very best at what you do;

You were chosen by that standard;

You've been paid and treated accordingly;

And you have never been tested

as you are about to be tested;

"Burkett% Randle will be rolling out

a new product

"in the very near future;"

And while I cannot reveal

the nature of this product,

believe me when I tell you that simply

by announcing its development; ; ;

"; ; ;B% R will be dramatically repositioned

at the summit of the global marketplace;"

I don't need to explain to anybody

in this room

why the scope, the details,

the very existence of this project

must be so carefully protected;

I expect your best in days to come,

and I promise you,

if we stay focused and vigilant,

we will, all of us; ; ;

"; ; ;prosper;"

What the hell does he have over there?

Dick? Dick? Don't go dark on me now;

Dick!

We gotta stay positive; Hey, look around;

This is why we're here;

When you came to me,

that first conversation, this is it;

This is why we built the unit;

- I know what he's doing;

- Dick; Dick!

Look at me;

This is a great team we've got here;

RICHARD:
Mmm-hmm;

Yeah; We are so prepped;

We are so ready to deploy;

You say the word,

you unleash the beast, Dick;

- We will tear this thing apart;

- He's just timing the blow, Duke;

- No; Wrong; We caught a break here;

- We caught a break? You call this a break?

I got a shareholders' convention

in nine days;

Hey, man, he's not thinking about that;

Oh!

Are you out of your fricking mind?

That is all that he thinks about;

And believe you me, if he has got a knife,

that is when he's gonna use it,

because that's what I'd do! Yeah;

No, I would wait till he is right in the middle

of a big old standing ovation;

I would wait till he is just so overwhelmed

with beloved waves of adoration,

he couldn't even hear the sound

of his own cojones

as they hit the goddamn floor!
