The Last Time Page #8

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?

ever since we first got married.

So one day we're tracking this herd | with the park rangers.

Now, if you know anything about elephants,

you know they eat up to | a ton of vegetation every single day.

Now if the authorities | let them keep eating like that,

there wouldn't be a single shrub | left in the park.

It's a damn shame.

Belisa!

So, as f***ed up as it sounds,

these rangers have to kill | hundreds of elephants every year

just so the others don't starve to death.

What they do is | they maim the leaders of the herd,

and with the leaders out of commission | the others...

Belisa.

...become helpless and confused,

unaware of the bloody carnage | going on all around them.

It's an amazing sight.

They call it culling.

Belisa!

I knew Bineview's DLX technology

was gonna forever | revolutionize our industry.

And I also knew

I wasn't gonna pay | their asking price for the company.

So I figured

if you can cull elephants,

why not salesmen?

Do you know where | I can get something to eat around here?

Cafeteria's on two.

- Who the f*** is that guy? | - That's the top man from Baton Rouge.

Those miserable cocksuckers.

Who's your junkie boyfriend?

That's Richards from the Southwest office.

Well, you definitely targeted | the right leaders.

Those 10 were responsible | for 42/ of Bineview's sales.

He desperately wanted to be | in show business,

so I got him to drop every one of his clients | and begin rehearsing seven days a week.

The schmuck actually thinks | he's opening for Cher next month in Reno.

Now that was a good one.

But I think we all know | where the best job of all was done.

You get close to them.

You find out who they really are.

And then you tear their insides out.

Oh, yes, it was a thing of beauty.

I just don't know how you pulled it off.

People are weak and vulnerable.

They're the ones | that make it easy to pull off.

Yeah, but Riker.

Ted?

The thing about Ted is that he's just | na:I:ve enough not to care about money,

which made it all the more challenging | for both of us.

You should have seen her with the books.

Every time he f***ed her,

he'd offer me one of his clients.

And every time, I'd just piss them away.

A salesman with a conscience, | talk about impotent.

Hey, a little respect.

He's one of the sharpest motherfuckers | I ever met.

Bright, charismatic, heart of a poet. | Hell, I'd f*** him.

Once she got her tentacles in him, | it was all over.

She did. She just loved him.

You dump him | and then she walked all over him.

He didn't know which way to turn.

Hey, pal.

Hey, I just remembered.

He wrote you a poem. It came in the mail.

It's pretty good.

It goes like this.

"You've got gold inside of you

"If you look deep enough, you'll see

"There's some gold inside me, too"

There's no one better than your team | at finding someone's Achilles' heel.

I taught them well. | If you look deep enough, you'll find it.

Some people need drugs.

Others need love.

Others have an affinity for

young, well-built Korean boys.

- What the f***? | - Hey, easy. Easy.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. | It will never get out.

That is of course unless | our money does not arrive by 9:00 a. m.

Ted.

Ted.

Nice to see you again.

Help me, please.

Oh, please, oh, God. Help me, please.
