The Last Time Page #7

Synopsis: Ted Ryker is the top salesman in the New York office of a business machine company; the corporate stock lives by quarterly sales numbers, the competition is keen, and the economy may be in a downturn. Ted's company is marking time until a new product is ready - probably in a few months. Into the mix comes a new hire, a callow Midwesterner named Jamie, who's come East with his fiancée Belisa. Ted's a cynic - with a failed love in his past; he's profane, he's a lousy team player. He watches Jamie flounder, failing with presentation after presentation. Then, Ted finds a mutual attraction to Belisa. Where can this end?

I have a pretty good idea who it is, too.

My honeymoon | is supposed to be next week.

I should be packing for Jamaica | this very f***ing minute!

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Watch this f***ing... | You're right up on the guy's ass!

Watch the f***ing road. | Keep your hands on the wheel!

- Why, Ted? | - Why what? Why what?

- Why? | - Why what?

Why doesn't Belisa love me anymore?

I've given her everything! | I've given her my heart, my soul!

I gave her a Toyota Celica hatchback | with leather seats and a CD player!

I'm the one who brought her | to f***ing New York!

And now she doesn't even care | if I live or die!

Hey, whoa, whoa, watch the road! | Watch the f***ing road!

Pull the f***ing car over here! | I wanna drive!

I wanna drive the f***ing car!

What are we doing at Bineview?

Let's just say that I have some | unfinished business to take care of.

Hey, Ted, hang on.

What the f*** is the matter with you?

- What the hell is going on in there? | - There? Nothing.

Let's just say that I left John | a proper goodbye present.

Hey, let me tell you something right now.

I don't want to be a part of any...

I want you to know that I've come | to a decision about my so-called fiance.

- What's that? | - I'm gonna kill her.

Hey, man, I don't want to hear | that crazy sh*t.

Relax, man.

I'm not gonna kill her.

I'm not gonna do that. | I'm just gonna maim that c*nt.

Don't talk like that, man! | I'm serious. Don't f***ing say that sh*t.

You should see your face. | Let's go get lunch.

Let's get out of this shithole. Come on, man.

- Hello? | - Hey. It's me.

Hey.

- How you doing? | - I'm fine.

- Is he gone? | - Yeah, he left this afternoon.

- You okay? | - I'm fine.

- I'm worried about you. | - Me?

I'm worried about you.

When he left, | all he took was his hunting knife.

That's all right. I can handle myself.

I know you can.

It's just he has this, you know, | dark side to him.

You should see | some of the sh*t he's been drawing.

I wouldn't want anything to happen to you.

Because I think I'm...

I think I'm...

You know. Forget it.

I gotta go.

I should probably go. I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

Good night.

Twenty-five years in this business, | I never witnessed anything so horrible.

Twenty-five years in this business, | I never witnessed anything so horrible.

- From 30 to eight. | - I knew I should have sold.

I'm never hiring a f***ing relative | as a stockbroker again.

I'm going to kill the cocksucker | this Christmas.

- What am I gonna tell my ex-wives? | - Oh, f*** them. I am really screwed.

Hey. Whisper numbers say we're going | to lose 60 cents per share this quarter.

And those pricks | have decided to close Chicago.

The management job is off.

- Those miserable cocksuckers. | - See you, Rog.

Who's your junkie boyfriend?

What? | That's Richards from the Southwest office.

- You've got to be shitting me. | - No. He was up for Chicago, too.

Hey, you think we have it bad, that guy | just lost his home, his wife and his kid.

Look, when are we gonna be able | to start selling that f***ing thing?

- Hey, have any of you guys seen Ted? | - No.

Well, neither has Parker Plastics. | He was supposed to close them today.

- Our biggest client. | - John, how's it going in there?

Not very f***ing good.

What the f*** is going on around here?

Hey, I was in an appointment | when you called.

You all right?

No, not really.

What's the matter?

I'm moving back to Ohio.

He showed up at 5:00 this morning and...

He needs to be with family. | I can't handle this on my own.

I just... I can't abandon him.

I'm sorry.

When?

Tomorrow.

Belisa.

It was because of a woman.

What?

You asked me why I never went back | to teaching and never moved to Italy.

It was because of a woman.

I woke up one day and she was just gone.

We were living on a teacher's salary

and money never really meant | anything to me.

She said | it didn't mean anything to her, either.

She lied.

So I've been carrying around | all this anger, all this hurt.

And I used that as an excuse | to be cold and hard.

Son of a b*tch.

Let me show you what I've been | hiding all these years, okay?

Deep inside.

I'm really...

I'm sorry, Ted. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, Ted, where you been?

I've been, you know, doing stuff. | I've been around.

You do realize | that the quarter closes on Friday?

Yeah, I know.

So, we lost Parker Plastics.

I sent Breckenridge, | totally f***ed the whole thing up.

What... What do you hear on Lange?

On Lange? I'm gonna head up there now.

Good, good. 'Cause we can use every dollar.

- Well, well, well. | - Yeah, I know.

If it isn't Willy Loman, huh?

Look, Willy,

why don't you get yourself | a bowl of soup on me?

You know what?

You know, | I've been a prick to you for a long time.

And, you know, maybe I didn't have | a right to be. I don't know.

I don't know.

Sorry.

See you, John.

How the mighty have fallen.

If he doesn't sign his next two deals, | this is gonna be the next office they close.

Jaime went back to Ohio.

I stayed.

What's going on?

Hey, John.

- What's going on? | - F*** off.

- What happened? | - What do you mean, what happened?

I told you how important this quarter was, | you motherf***er.

I was the first one to go.

- I don't believe this. | - Yeah, well, believe it, sunshine.

Those pricks upstairs | didn't put up much of a fight.

Breckenridge is our number one salesman | for f***'s sake.

- How'd Leguzza pull this off? | - Mezzanine financing.

It wasn't even a stock swap.

The price was so low | they came up with the cash.

Every division's sales from | here to Seattle, way down.

The DLX 179 | is gonna make them a f***ing fortune.

They're not even gonna need a sales force.

F***ing Breckenridge! | What the hell was I doing?

That is for putting up with your sh*t | for three years, you miserable cocksucker.

All I had to do was dangle a young blonde

in front of that sick f*** Crosby | from Trenton.

He took the bait, hook, line and sinker.

His trial starts next week.

It was only a matter of time before I got | Richards hooked back on the white powder.

Sobriety is so easy to cure.

Pretty good.

But I got the number one guy from Tacoma

to gamble away his home, his car, | even his kid's dental plan.

Last I heard, he was living downtown | in an empty refrigerator box.

Well, that little lady from the Nashville | office still thinks she's having my baby.

That phony doctor had her so convinced, | she started having morning sickness.

As soon as sales dipped below 60 mil | for the quarter, the stock plummeted.

Bineview's market cap value dropped | almost 30/ from this time last year.

Excellent.

I really enjoyed the last three months.

I don't think I have ever had | that much f***ing fun.

So tell us, Artie, how did you come up | with such a brilliant plan?

Funny enough, it was when the wife and I | were in Zimbabwe on vacation.

She'd been driving me crazy | to see these f***ing elephants in the wild
