Money Monster Page #6

including myself.

Our pensions were depleted overnight.

- Diane.

- Our savings gutted just like yours.

Wait. Wait. I'm sorry.

Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you?

Is that really what's happening right now?

- No, I just...

- That's exactly what's happening.

I understand you want specifics.

Yeah. So why doesn't

she give him some specifics?

We know this was

a completely isolated incident.

It's what we call a black swan.

It's impossible to predict,

but it's impossible to replicate.

"Black swan"?

That's her memo.

She's reading from her memo.

Diane. Diane.

We both read your talking points.

He doesn't want some PR spin about

what's gonna go right next year.

He wants an explanation

for what went wrong last week.

Yeah.

Right, I understand.

And we believe in complete transparency.

That's why we disclosed...

Where are your quants, Diane?

Where are your quants?

- That's good. Go with that. Get an answer.

- I'm sorry?

- Yeah.

- The quants you used.

The guy who actually designed

the algorithm that crashed.

Where is he?

Is he in that building right there behind you?

'Cause I think

I'd like to ask him a few questions.

No, um, these are our administrative offices.

Our quants aren't...

Okay, then where is he? Is he in Mumbai?

Russia? Yeah, he's in Russia.

They're all in Russia.

I'm not sure.

But if you'd like to talk to someone,

then I can make that happen.

No, I don't want to talk to

some low-level schlub, God damn it.

I want an explanation from you!

And if you can't give me one,

then I want to talk to Walt Camby.

No, I'm sorry,

- but Walt is on a plane right now.

- God damn...

Sh*t-f***ing a**holes.

I'm getting so tired of this same old bullshit

over and over again, Lee.

- Wait.

- Don't tell me to wait!

What happened?

He just shot out your monitor on the stage

because you're giving him

the same corporate bullshit!

I'm not.

You have to understand

how delicate of a situation this is.

I'm sitting 80-feet from a bomb!

Don't talk to me about delicate situations!

You have got to wake up

and do the math here,

because it is not adding up to me, either.

Why is that so goddamn hard?

Sorry, what do you mean?

I mean, you better ask some real questions

and get some real answers,

and hurry the f*** up!

I want what happened to make sense!

Do not talk to him like that.

Do not tell him things.

- Right now!

- Don't do anything stupid.

Let me get you some answers.

You need to bargain for more time.

All right?

- Trade something.

- Give me 10 more minutes.

Bargain with him.

Kyle, look.

You give me something,

I give you something. Okay?

That's how this works.

You do something for me,

I do something for you.

Come on.

Give me a chance.

Let me figure this out.

- Fine, you got 10 minutes.

- Okay. All right.

Now what?

I made myself extraordinarily clear

that you were not to go on camera.

You know, I am curious.

Who actually did design that algo?

Why don't we call him together?

Now, you listen to me, Diane. You're a CCO.

And that is all you are and that is nothing.

I've seen a dozen girls like you come and go.

- Really? Girls like me?

- Yeah!

I don't have to stand here and listen to this.

- Well, you're fired, Diane!

- You can't fire me. I don't report to you.

It's not our job to bail out this psychopath!

Do not walk away from me!

I don't report to you, Avery.

Ryan, get me a list of every quant that's

been on our payroll since we went public.

Walt's G-V radioed Teterboro.

Twenty minutes out.

Have a car waiting downstairs for me.

And get me that list.

This is Eagle One

in first position. Proceeding to two.

Bree, I asked for Dan Issa

from the SEC.

I called twice and left word both times.

All right, get me Ron.

Ron, I need you to go down

to the SEC's offices on Vesey Street.

Find Dan Issa. Do not take no for an answer.

You have nine minutes.

Nine minutes?

- Vesey Street's over a mile away.

- Then you better start running now.

Hey, Dave, can you pull up

a stock price graphic for Ibis for me, please?

- Okay. I'll need a second.

- Okay, then put their logo up on the nine-by.

Okay.

Lee? How many people do you think

are tuned into us right now at this moment?

Millions probably? Tens of millions?

That's tens of millions of investors,

all with their fingers

on their E-trade accounts.

Kyle, you bought Ibis at what, $75 a share?

- Yeah. So?

- What if we can get it back there?

How many times I gotta tell you,

it's too late for your money.

You're not the only shareholder

that got screwed over.

You came here because you had something

that you wanted to say.

You want people

to finally listen to you, right?

Yeah.

Well, now they can.

- Logo's ready.

- Put it up on the big screen.

All right, Lee. Go to work.

Watch what we can do.

I want to talk to everybody out there.

Every single person

that's watching me right now.

And here's what I want you to do.

I want you to go to your computer

and I want you to buy Ibis stock.

I'm gonna be upfront with you.

I don't want you to do it

because you're gonna make money.

I want you to do it

because it'll save my life.

This is ballsy.

The old Money Monster bump.

The old Money Monster bump

on a massive scale.

- Where's my stock price?

- Just got it up.

It's simple math. Value comes from demand.

So if every single one of you

buys a few shares,

then we can get the price

of this sucker up in no time.

And here's the crazy part.

If we do it and everybody invests

just a little bit of money,

the price starts to go up.

And then the algorithms... They start to

take notice, and they start to buy it.

Give it to me on the big screen.

If you can fool them, then the sky's the limit!

Which means that together we can turn

a bad investment into a good one

by sheer force of will.

Nice.

So, as of right now,

I am moving Ibis from a sell to a buy.

He's gonna call a triple. Ready triple. Roll it.

...and make it a rare...

...Triple Buy!

Come on. Come on.

Come on, you son of a b*tch.

Come on, guys.

We're human beings, we're not computers.

We have a conscience.

Refresh, refresh.

- There it is.

- Yeah.

$8.48.

Yes! That's what I'm talking about.

We take care of each other.

It's embedded in our DNA.

Not because an equation tells us to,

but because we feel it in here.

And right now, I need your help.

This looks promising.

We can do the right thing.

But we have to do it together.

Come on. Refresh, refresh.

So, I'm talking to every one of you.

Every single person

that's watching me right now.

I want you to dig as deep as you can

and I want you to ask yourself,

what is a life worth to you?

What's my life worth?

I guess that answers that question, huh?

Detective, one coming in.

Ma'am. Excuse me.

Ma'am. NYPD. You live here?

Yeah. What's the problem?

What's your relationship

to Kyle Budwell, ma'am?

Why? Where is he?

Where have you been all day?

If you don't mind me asking.

I work in a glass box underground
