I don't know what.

I'm sorry. I gotta leave you

to do this alone.

- Look, I'm havin' kind of a rough time.

- Hey.

Hey, hey. What do you think--

boy or a girl?

I need you to float me.

The market closes in three hours.

For Chrissake,jack, let's not

jump before we look.

The market's a mess.

It's like a gang war out there.

Even Marcus is holding tight.

- You said to me, ''If not now, when?''

- I know what I said!

But not now. Besides, it'll take time

to put this together.

Listen to me.

I'm in it already. Okay?

I used up what I had.

I'm down, but I'm not out.

- Why didn't you come talk to me?

- I'm talkin' to you now.

- I need 1 5 grand.

- Fifteen grand?

What are you gonna do with 1 5 grand?

That's not money. That's nothin'.

You wanna get back in,

let's do it right. Let's go for it.

Back in business again, you and me.

We'll make a plan.

But not this way,jack.

I don't know

how I got here, okay?

But I'm here, and this is it.

Right now. This is the time.

This isn't about business,

is it?

Okay.

I guess I got 1 5 grand.

I think you should know

I have nothing,just a feeling.

What are you trying to do,

talk me out of it?

Ceil, I want you

to put me on the floor.
