They say

that falling in love

Is wonderful

It's wonderful

So they say

To hold the girl

in your arms

Is wonderful

Wonderful

In every way

So they say

We develop short investments

by analyzing the level of

a particular stock's overvaluation,

then assigning a rating.

I don't need to know

your homework technique, son.

Give me something

I can chew on.

Don't worry, Mr. Beretsky,

I'm about to give you a mouthful.

According to the research

compiled by Miss Webster here,

more than 60 percent

of your current portfolio

is rated at mid-risk

to dangerous.

You can find weak spots

in any company.

None of this means anything

until we verify it.

These companies

have been stable for years.

Check out everything

if you want.

It'll take weeks.

Meanwhile,

state regulators

have investigations pending

on both Klasco and DeBridge,

which, I believe, are two

of your biggest holdings.

Due respect, sir, but

without some serious hedging,

you're ripe for a big fall,

and soon.

I've heard enough.

Carl, wait, uh, we have

other investment ideas.

Better ones.

Formulated

by better brokers.

Let me introduce you

to a few...

I'm not interested

in other brokers.

I like the way

he thinks.

That went

fantastically well.

Yeah, you think

Holtzman trusts me?

Forget Holtzman

He isn't smart enough to trust you.

Beretsky does.

That's what's important.

A whole new part of your life

is starting right now.

After this, it's only a matter of time

before there'll be

a handful of Carl Beretskys begging you

to take care of their money...

at the investment firm of

Nate Holden and Associates.

Well... Go on.

Go on. Get going.

No, wait. Here. Here.

Got it.

At last

My love has come along

And my lonely days

are over

And life is like

A song

At last

Skies above are blue

And my heart

was wrapped up in clover

For you are mine

At last

Frank D., everybody,

right here at The House.

Stevie Cotter on guitar.

Tony Banda, Ramon Banda.

Our special guest this Friday

and Saturday, Khani Cole.

- Nate, where you going?

- I'm sorry, Frank. I gotta go.

Are we gonna see you

for an entire show?

You're lucky I could

stay for the set.

We got this new big shot client.

He has me up to my ears.

Alright. Well, did I tell you Junior's

starting private school next month?

Hey. Don't worry, Frank.

I'll take care of you.

All right.

When I fall in love

It will be completely

Or I'll never fall

In love

In a restless world

like this is

Love is ended

before its begun

- And too many

- And too many

- Moonlight kisses

- Moonlight kisses

- Seem to cool

- Seem to cool

- With the warmth of the sun

- With the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart

My heart

It will be forever

Forever

- Or I'll never give

- Or I'll never give

- My heart

- My heart

And the moment

I can feel that

You feel

That way too

That's when I fall

When I'll fall in love

With

- With you

- You

Yes!

Yes, yes! Hil-Co.

I think we might have something here

with the reshuffling at Hil-Co.

Feels like a smoke screen to me, like

they're changing the band on the Titanic.

What do you think?

Sorry. What?

Did you read

the Hil-Co story?

Uh, no.

I haven't gotten to it yet.

Something about it feels right to me.

Sorry, Mr. Holden

has a phone call.

Take a message.

It's the police.

Nate Holden.

Hi, Mr. Holden?

This is the Weehawken Police.

There was a break-in at a residence

that's registered in your name.

We're gonna need you to come down here

and speak with the detectives.

As far as we can tell there's at least

three other houses

in your neighborhood

that were hit last night.

I don't know if you have an inventory

of your valuables or not.

No, this was

my mother's house.

There weren't

many valuables.

Well, as you can see, they turned

the house upside down pretty well.

- Yeah.

- Though there is a room down the hall

where the door's locked.

We're not quite sure

about that.

We could pop it open

and take a look, if you'd like.

No, no,

that's okay.

Nate, go take a look.

Thanks anyway.

Well, suit yourself.

Take a look around.

If you change your mind,

let me know.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

My God.

What?

I took this photograph.

You remember?

Yeah.

- Why isn't this at your apartment?

- I don't know.

- Well, here. Take it with you.

- Look!

I don't want to deal

with this right now.

Well, you're not just

gonna leave it here.

That's the plan.

Here you go.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Excuse me.

Are you Nate Holden?

- Yes.

- I thought so.

My father hates you.

Uh, did you and I date?

His hatred for you

is strictly professional.

Hi, I'm Marie Devrenier.

My father's Robert Devrenier.

The CEO of Duocon.

They had kind of

a rough patch last year.

Yes, which you rode

all the way to the bank.

Yeah. Look, uh, it's been

kind of a long day,

and I don't really like to talk

business while I'm here, so...

I'm sorry. Yeah.

Neither do I.

Would you like to have a drink

with me and my friends?

We won't talk business.

I promise.

Uh, maybe some other time.

Wow. You're not selling me

short, too, are you, Nate?

No, really,

it's nothing personal, and, um...

like I said,

hopefully some other time.

Okay. But I'm gonna

hold you to that.

Bye.

So, Nate, what are you

doing tomorrow night?

You free? I'll be

in your neighborhood.

"Chloe sings. The Last Stop".

Come on, Frank. I gotta work.

Ah, all right.

Is, uh, everything okay

between you and Charlene?

Of course. Why?

Oh, you know,

I'm just wondering why

you're wasting your time driving

halfway across the city on your night off.

- Who says it's a waste of time?

- Aw, come on, Frank.

There's got to be 2,000 girls

in this city

making up little postcards and singing

at rundown joints like the Last Stop.

And, okay,

maybe in the end,

one of two of them have got what it

takes to sing in a place like this,

but come on,

do the math.

The odds are a thousand to one

this girl is not wasting your time.

Have a good evening.

It's yours.

That's Chloe.

You didn't know that?

- No.

- You know, Nate, music isn't money.

Somebody gave me a shot once,

I wanna return the favor.

- That's the way it works.

- Excuse me.

Hey, Chloe. I think this

just came off your bracelet.

Oh. Thank you.

You need to apologize to her.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Do you need a ride?

'Cause we're going across town.

No, Jesse'll be here

any minute. Thank you.

- Do you want us to wait?

- No, that's okay.

You guys go ahead.

I'll see you on Friday night?

- Okay.

- Okay. Bye.

Can I give you a ride home?

No, thanks.

Uh, all right,

I'll walk with you, then.

I'm fine.

Just leave me

alone, okay?

When I fall in love

It will be forever

Or I'll never fall

In love

Thank you.

Found that outside

my window.

Where you sang with me.

Look, I hope...

you didn't take what I said

before too personally.

- I...

- Ugh.

Hey!

Wait!

Look, I spend all day and most

of my nights predicting failure.
