MUST BE SOMETHING OLD HENRY

WANTS THAT WE CAN HELP HIM WITH.

WELL, I NEVER

HEARD OF ANYTHING HENRY WANTED

HE COULDN'T GE FOR HISSELF.

EXCEPT, WELL, MAYBE THA LITTLE OLD GIRL UP IN NEW YORK.

- YEAH!

- MAYBE.

NAH.

THAT LITTLE OLD GIRL'S TOO STUCK

ON THE STOCK MARKE TO HAVE ANY TIME

FOR HENRY --

ANY REAL TIME.

I THINK I KNOW A WAY

WE CAN HELP OLD HENRY OUT.

HOW?

LET'S HIGHBALL IT TO NEW YORK.

YEE-HA!

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I CONSIDER THE PRESIDENCY

OF THIS ORGANIZATION

THE HIGHEST HONOR ANY GIRL

ON WALL STREET CAN RECEIVE.

AND I PROMISE TO USE

MY TERM OF OFFICE

TO OPEN MORE AND MORE DOORS

TO WOMEN SECURITY ANALYSTS.

AND IN TIME, NO ONE WILL DARE

STAND IN THE WAY

OF WOMEN TAKING THEIR RIGHTFUL

PLACE IN WALL STREET,

AND BETWEEN YOU AND ME,

IT WON'T BE LONG

BEFORE I AM NO LONGER

THE ONLY WOMAN:

IN THE INNER OFFICES

OF BEAR, OSGOOD, AND WHITBY.

YOU WANT ME TO FIRE

MY TOP ANALYST?

A WOMAN'S PLACE

IS IN THE HOME,

BUT MOST WOMEN:

DON'T KNOW IT.

YOU GOT TO PUSH 'EM.

TEXAS IS GONNA MAKE MOLLY

MIGHTY HAPPY, TOO,

EVEN IF SHE:

DON'T KNOW IT YET.

YOU WANT HER TO BE HAPPY,

DON'T YOU?

CAN'T POSSIBLY LET HER GO.

SHE'S MY NUMBER-ONE BOY.

WELL, WE THINK YOUR NUMBER-ONE

BOY'S READY FOR MOTHERHOOD.

JUST NOW, WHEN WIDGE IS REALLY STARTING TO FLY?

WE HAPPEN TO KNOW

YOU TOOK A REAL WHOPPING

IN GREAT EASTERN

OFFSHORE OIL.

I CAN'T DO IT.

IT'S, UH, IT'S MORALLY WRONG.

SUPPOSE WE WAS TO GET YOU

OFF THE HOOK WITH GREAT EASTERN.

YOU MEAN YOU'D TAKE

MY WHOLE POSITION?

FOR HENRY AND MOLLY,

WE'LL TAKE THE WHOLE THING.

GENTLEMEN, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT TO SAY.

EXCEPT YOU MAKE ME FEEL HUMBLE.

TRULY HUMBLE.

OUT SHE GOES.

OH, HENRY, IF YOU KNEW HOW MUCH

I WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT.

WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE,

BUT IT DOES MAKE FOR SOME

DIFFICULTIES, DOESN'T IT?

And, Henry, I want you to come

to Philadelphia this weekend

to meet my parents.

They'll adore you.

I hope.

WELL, CAN WE, UH,

LEAVE FOR TEXAS FROM THERE?

TEXAS?

As I remember,

we got a deal.

OH, THAT.

UM, WELL, HENRY,

I KNOW I MADE THAT DEAL,

BUT, WELL, MY TERM OF OFFICE

IS SIX MONTHS,

AND I JUST CAN'T LEAVE NOW.

You can wait six months,

can't you?

YOU MADE A PROMISE, MOLLY.

YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD ON IT.

Please, Henry, how did I ever

know I'd really be president?

A PROMISE IS A PROMISE.

WELL, I KNOW I PROMISED,

BUT...

HENRY, COULDN'T WE

TALK IT OVER TONIGHT?

WELL, UH, COULD YOU

DROP UP HERE, MOLLY?

IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO, HENRY.

I COULD ORDER US A LITTLE,

UH, LATE SUPPER.

That would be nice.

I'm tired of restaurants,

even Chez-Henri.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

A LITTLE CHAMPAGNE

WOULDN'T HURT, WOULD IT?

A LITTLE CHAMPAGNE

NEVER HURT ANYBODY.

BYE.

[ SMOOCHES ]

[ SMOOCHES ]

[ SIGHS ]

YOU WERE A GREAT TALENT,

STANISLAS.

AND LOOK AT YOU NOW.

DON'T YOU LIKE

THE WAY I RIDE?

IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU

WHO GIVE THE NORTH MEDITERRANEAN

NEOREALIST MOVEMENT A BAD NAME.

THE BRUSH IS OUTMODED

AS A TOOL OF ART.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY DEMANDS NEW

MEANS OF ARTISTIC PRODUCTION.

ANYWAY, BUSTER, IT'S NOT ME

THAT'S BOTHERING YOU.

YOU'RE SUFFERING

FROM ACUTE LACK OF MOLLY.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'VE LOST HER,

AND IT COULDN'T HAPPEN

AT A WORSE TIME.

MY PSYCHIATRIST WON'T SPEAK

TO ME WHEN SHE HEARS ABOUT THIS.

YOU COULDN' HELP IT, MAN.

TELL YOUR SHRINK THAT'S THE WAY

THE POPSICLE MELTS.

BROTHER, YOU DIDN' MAKE THE SCENE AT ALL.

I WAS DEFEATED BY MONEY.

PLAIN, COMMON, ORDINARY,

FILTHY MONEY.

WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

PUTTING THE STOCK OVER

HELPED.

BUT THE REAL THING

IS EXCITEMENT,

WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW.

THAT GUY ALWAYS HAS

A GOOD TIME.

HE LOVES THE GAME,

ANY OLD GAME.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT --

MOLLY WITH A HALF-EDUCATED,

SUN-DRIED PRAIRIE MARSHAL.

YOU'VE BEEN TUNED IN

TO THE WRONG WAVELENGTH, NARDO.

MEANING WHAT?

UNDERNEATH:

ALL THAT COWBOY JAZZ,

THE OVERSIZE HAT,

AND THE BOOT BIT,

HE'S STRICTLY A YALE TYPE

FROM BOSTON.

BOSTON?

HE'S NOT FROM TEXAS?

LOOK, MAN, LONG AGO,

HE FIGURED:

THE BEST WAY TO RUB UP AGAINS MONEY WAS TO BE A TEXAN.

NOW HE'S BEEN THERE SO LONG,

HE'S CAUGHT THE ACCENT.

BUT THAT ITALIAN

HE SPEAKS SO WELL.

MAJORED:

IN ROMANCE LANGUAGES

IN A LITTLE OLD TEXAS

SCHOOLHOUSE BY THE NAME OF YALE.

YALE? BUT --

BUT MOLLY DOESN'T KNOW

ABOUT THIS DECEPTION, DOES SHE?

WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T?

LOOK, MAN, IF YOU'RE GONNA WALK

ON MY CANVAS,

THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS PU A LITTLE CRIMSON ON YOUR SOLES.

DID YOU SEE WIDGE THIS MORNING, MR. B--

SIT DOWN, MISS THATCHER.

THANK YOU.

DID YOU SEE WIDGET THIS MORNING?

IT BROKE THROUGH ITS UPSIDE

RESISTANCE LEVEL -- 59.

YES. WELL, EVERYBODY HITS

A LUCKY FLUKE NOW AND THEN.

A LUCKY FLUKE?!

MISS THATCHER, I'VE BEEN WANTING

TO TALK TO YOU FOR SOME TIME,

LIKE A FATHER TO A DAUGHTER.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO YOU.

YOU'VE GROWN HARD.

THAT TENDER, LOVELY LOOK

YOU USED TO HAVE IN YOUR EYES

IS GONE.

NOW THEY GLINT.

NO, I HAVE TO COME RIGHT OU AND SAY IT.

THIS CRASS COMMERCIAL WORLD

HAS COARSENED YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

NO, MISS THATCHER, I WOULDN' WANT IT ON MY CONSCIENCE

THAT I TOOK:

A LOVELY YOUNG GIRL

AND LET HER WORK

TRANSFORM HER:

INTO A HEARTLESS, GRASPING

DEALER IN THE MARKETPLACE.

I-I CAN'T JUST BEAR SITTING BY

AND WATCHING:

WHILE I SEE ALL THAT IS

WONDERFUL AND TENDER IN YOU

RUN OUT AND CAST ASIDE.

YOU CAN CLEAN OU YOUR DESK.

BUT YOU SAID --

I HAVE A DAUGHTER YOUR AGE, MOLLY.

AND NOW THAT I'M FIRING YOU,

I MAY CALL YOU MOLLY, MAY I NOT?

YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD.

BUT REALLY,

YOU'LL BE MUCH HAPPIER IN TEXAS.

TEXAS?

DID YOU SAY TEXAS?

THAT'S RIGHT --

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

A TICKER TAPE:

IN THE KITCHEN AND --

OOH, THAT DOUBLE-CROSSING

SIDEWINDER!

OOH, I WAS READY TO LIVE UP

TO MY PART OF THE DEAL,

BUT IF HE THINKS HE CAN

GUARANTEE IT THIS WAY...

NOW, MOLLY,

THERE'S NO NEED --

NOW, LOOK, MR. BEAR,

I'M NOT PART OF ANY DEALS,

AND I'M STAYING HERE

ON WALL STREET.

WITH MY RECORD IN WIDGET,

I CAN GET ANOTHER JOB

IN THREE MINUTES.

OH, BY THE WAY...

WE REVOKED YOUR:

SECURITY DEALER'S REGISTRATION.

THE PAPERS SHOULD BE

IN WASHINGTON BY NOW.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

HELLO. HENRY?

LISTEN, HENRY,

I PHONED TO ASK YOU,

HOW LONG DO YOU WANT US TO KEEP

DRILLING HOLES IN MASSACHUSETTS?

You know, this is gonna

run you into money.

WELL, FINISH OUT THE DAY

AND PACK UP,

AND I'LL SEE YOU

DOWN IN TEXAS.

SEE YA.

TEXAS.

HE EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO HAVE

MR. BEAR REVOKE MY REGISTRATION.

OOH, I USED TO WONDER HOW LOW

A MAN COULD GET, AND NOW I KNOW.

I DON'T GET IT.

A FEW HOURS AGO,

YOU WERE MOONING OVER HIM.

YOU WERE READY TO PLAY

THE PAJAMA GAME.

A FEW HOURS AGO, I THOUGH HE WAS A MAN, NOT A SNAKE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO? YES.

OH, LEONARD,

I DON'T WANT TO TALK NOW.

ALL RIGHT.

MAKE IT QUICK.

HE WHAT?!

ARE YOU SURE?!

OH, THAT FRAUD!

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME

I TOLD YOU ABOUT HENRY TYROON?

I SAID HE WAS A $3 BILL

IF I EVER SAW ONE.

THEN YOU WENT THROUGH

A PERIOD OF INFLATION.
