The Good Guy Page #2

Now, just FYl,

I have a guy looking

for a pretty big chunk.

Maybe half a mil.

- Does that interest you?

- Potentially. Sure.

Unfortunately, John, I don't have

the luxury of a lot of time here.

My guy's real.

He's on the phone for one call.

And that's you. Half a mil?

On the wire, last print, in or out?

Put it up.

Great. Now, this is just me asking.

Would you be able to go larger?

Hey, half a mil,

trying to go bigger.

- Are you trying to front run me?

- No.

You just gotta trust me,

just a little bit, okay, John?

Two million.

Could go to two million here.

No, it's not Bill Gates on the line.

He's a mutual fund guy,

just like you.

Well, he's got a lot more hair

and he's a little better looking.

Fine. Make it read two.

Okay. ls two million your total picture?

Why? ls he trying to move more?

What's he saying.

Are we done here? Let's go!

Is he trying to move more?

All right, gentlemen,

I'm on the phone with both you right now.

I think this ticket reads five million

and we all walk away.

That be on a cleanup?

I knew he had more behind that.

You're a genius.

Seriously, Bobby,

Is this a cleanup for you?

No bullshit.

Five million, I go home and f***

my Polish housekeeper twice.

It's a cleanup, John.

Okay, fine.

Put it up.

But, oh, Tom?

You'll still be in the box

for a week, though.

Cross at five million, clean.

See how far a little trust can get you?

Another record down today

on wall Street today

With all major indexes--

The Bargello and Accademia

are great, but skip the Uffizi.

What about those Botticellis?

And Michelangelo's only oil painting?

There's a reason he stopped after one.

It's just for tourists.

I am a tourist.

Hi.

Is everything okay?

Why?

What happened?

Funding constraints.

The agency cut all international travel.

So, what's the good news?

How would you like to be

head of urban conservation?

- You're quitting?

- Not here.

In San Francisco.

Hey. where were you?

I'm sorry. I just changed now

and I'm on the way.

- Are you still up?

- It's 10:
00.

- what happened?

- lf I have to listen

to one more hedge fund douchebag

talk to me about private jet timeshares,

I swear to God I'm gonna

shoot myself in the face.

Yeah, well, my trip

got canceled today.

Grab your stuff

and meet me downstairs.

Huh?

- Grab your stuff.

- where are we going?

Don't worry about it.

All right. Step out.

Okay.

And one big step up.

Right there.

I'm gonna take this off you.

You gotta keep

your eyes closed, okay?

Are you sure we're still in the city?

Yeah, just-- just--

- Here.

- Here we go.

- Great.

- Eyes closed.

I'll be keeping an eye on you.

No peeking.

I'm not.

- I saw that.

- what?

You peek again,

I'm gonna take you home.

- Keep them closed.

- Okay.

Almost there.

All right, turn this way.

Now, open your eyes.

Oh, my God.

Where are we?

It's as close to Tuscany

as I could get in Manhattan.

Come on.

Come on, this way.

It gets better.

- Come on.

- This is so beautiful.

How did you find this place?

You know.

I gotta keep some surprises.

I'm sorry your trip got canceled.

Thank you.

One more surprise.

May I have this dance?

Yes.

Wait.

I think I have something.

I just didn't want to be one of those girls

Who sleeps with a lot of guys.

I don't want you to sleep

With a lot of guys.

Right.

I'll do it.

- Other way.

- Oh, sorry.

Okay.

Yeah, Frank,

you are all done for the day.

No, thank you.

That is 100,000 CRM

to williams for the day.

And Shakespeare,

have I ever told you

how handsome you are?

Somebody's in a good mood today.

- Tom.

- Yep?

Got a second?

So, what's up?

I got an offer from another firm.

About twice what I'm making here.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, I'd hate to lose you,

but if I go to Cash with this,

especially right now,

the way things are,

he might agree to a little kiss,

but a double?

No way.

I know, I figured.

All right, look.

You gotta do what's right for you.

Are you thinking about taking it?

You already did.

Well, man, what can I say?

It's been a great run.

It's gonna be tough to replace you.

I like that a lot.

Listen, I gotta go, okay?

No, you hang up first.

No, you hang up.

Twenty-one-year-old physical therapist.

Thousand bucks a month

for a studio on the Upper East Side.

- A home run.

- Sounds like it.

You gotta see her.

She's so f***ing hot.

You should invite her to your place

for the mid-year dinner.

Yeah. She can sit

right next to my wife.

Can you imagine?

Who you bringing, hotshot?

That Christie girl still in the picture?

No. Beth. You met her at the golf event.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah.

That brunette who wouldn't f*** you.

Listen, can I just talk to you off the desk,

just for a second?

So, she did f*** you.

How long was that woman,

Like, two months or something?

Jesus, that girl was your sexual Vietnam.

Not saying a word.

And so you just let him walk out.

He's your top guy for two years.

He already took the job.

He didn't want to make a scene.

Well, there's gonna be

a big f***ing scene tomorrow,

When 20 of our biggest accounts call

and no one's answering the f***ing phone.

We'll hire someone else.

That will take weeks.

Why the f*** didn't you let me talk to him?

I could convince that f***ing

cocksucker to stay.

They guaranteed him two million a year

for two years,

- plus upside.

- How much are we paying him?

Seven fifty this year--

a buck, tops.

Yeah, okay, we were too low.

All right, mister head of sales,

What's your contingency plan?

I'm sure you have one.

I think Daniel can step up.

Are you out of your f***ing mind?

That guy couldn't sell vagina

on a pirate ship.

- He's smart, he's honest.

- He's too f***ing honest.

He's a f***ing retarded Boy Scout.

That is exactly what

you said about Shakespeare.

- Tommy.

- It's exactly what you said about Chris Baker.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

Why are guys like us good at our job?

Because people like us.

We take them out, they have a good time.

They might even meet a real, live girl.

Daniel is a lovely fellow.

He's as much fun as chlamydia.

I'm telling you this will work.

Let me remind you the value we place

on human capital here at Morgan Brothers.

- Your future--

- I understand.

Your future depends

on the depth and the quality

of the team that you build.

Now, in light of that,

I'll ask you once.

Is Daniel your guy?

Yes.

Great.

I'm telling you, this chick I'm banging in HR

said that he was discharged

early from the Air Force.

- And they sealed his file. Yes.

- Hey, hey.

- Ha-ha!

- Look, all I'm saying is

We need someone to fill

Baker's spot immediately.

And if we let Cash pick one of his guys,

We're all gonna be watching our asses.

I'm just not buying

this nice guy act, all right?

Nobody joins the military,

much less wall Street,

Without having, you know,

some kind of a dark side.

You're right, wall Street is no place

for an ambitious white male.
