"...you have to believe in

Na, f*** the leads, I'm going home.

"Bruce, Harriet...F*** me, believe

in yourself..."

We haven't got a lead...

MOSS:

Why not?

ROMA:

MOSS:

Hey, they're f***in' garbage any

case...This whole goddamn...

LEVENE:

"...You look around, you say, 'This

LEVENE:

"'Why? Why don't I get the

opportunities...?"

MOSS:

And did they steal the contracts...?

ROMA:

F*** you care...?

LEVENE:

"I want to tell you something,

Harriet..."

MOSS:

LEVENE:

Will you shut up, I'm telling you

this...

Aaronow sticks his head out.

AARONOW:

Can we get some coffee...?

MOSS:

How ya doing?

Pause.

AARONOW:

MOSS:

Uh-huh.

AARONOW:

coffee.

LEVENE:

"You do get the..."

(to Roma)

LEVENE:

"You do get the opportunity...You

does..."

MOSS:

Ricky?...That I don't care they

stole the contracts?

Pause.

LEVENE:

I got 'em in the kitchen. I'm

eating her crumb cake.

MOSS:

What does that mean?

ROMA:

It means, Dave, you haven't closed

a good one in a month, none of my

business, you want to push me to

answer you.

(pause)

And so you haven't got a contract

to get stolen or so forth.

MOSS:

You have a mean streak in you,

Ricky, you know that...?

LEVENE:

Rick. Let me tell you. Wait,

you...

(to Levene)

And what the f*** are you babbling

about...?

MOSS (CONT'D)

(to Roma)

Bring that sh*t up. Of my volume.

You were on a bad one and I brought

it up to you you'd harbor it.

(pause)

You'd harbor it a long long while.

And you'd be right.

ROMA:

Who said "F*** the Machine"?

MOSS:

"F*** the Machine"? "F*** the

Machine"? What is this. Courtesy

class...? You're f***ed, Rick--are

you f***ing nuts? You're hot, so

you think you're the ruler of this

place...?! You want to...

LEVENE:

Dave...

MOSS:

...Shut up. Decide who should be

dealt with how? Is that the thing?

I come into the f***in' office

today, I get humiliated by some

jagoff cop. I get accused of...I

get this sh*t thrown in my face by

you, you geniune sh*t, because

you're top name on the board...

ROMA:

Is that what I did? Dave? I

humiliated you? My God...I'm

sorry...

MOSS:

Sittin' on top of the world,

sittin' on top of the world,

everything's f***ing peachfuzz...

ROMA:

Oh, and I don't get a moment to

spare for a bust-out humanitarian

down on his luck lately. F*** you,

Dave, you know you got a big mouth,

and you make a close the whole

place stinks with your farts for a

week. "How much you just ingested,"
