MAX:

doesn’t budge)

The guys titter at “business expenses.”

MAX:

I swear to God I'm gonna wipe ‘emoff for you!

(back to Jordan)

Are you insane?

ROBBIE *

JORDAN:

MAX:

Jordan feigns shock, turns to Donnie: did you know it was

a prostitution ring?!

DONNIE:

Doesn’t the IRS allow for T&A?

MAX:

It’s T&E and stop f***ing with me!

What kind of hookers take credit

cards, anyway?!

Jordan takes the bill, starts flipping through it.

JORDAN (V.O.)

In Stratton parlance, there werethree kinds of hookers. There

were blue chips, the top of theline. Model material. They werepriced between $300 and $500 andmade you wear a condom unless yougave them a hefty tip, which Ialways did.

Then came NASDAQs, who were

pretty, but not great, usuallyin the two to three hundred

dollar range.

Finally there were pink sheets,

JORDAN (V.O.)

They usually cost a hundred orless, and if you didn't wear acondom, you'd get a penicillinshot the next day and pray yourdick didn't fall off.

Not that we didn’t f*** them, too.

Believe me, we did.

Max continues to steam so Jordan ushers Robbie, Rugratand Donnie out the door.

JORDAN:

Give us a minute, will you, guys?

He closes the door, then stretches a bit, exaggeratedly,

letting out a little moan.

MAX:

What’s the matter?

JORDAN:

Nothing, just... My back’s beenkilling me. Pain shooting down myleg. Not to worry, it’ll pass.

MAX:

What do the doctors say?

JORDAN:

Doctors, what do they know? I’m onlike twenty different medications.
