Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Page #11

Let's say I could... Let's say I could get

the money now, hypothetically, right?

Not that you care about the money.

But let's say I could take out a loan

against it,

minimize your risk as much as possible.

Would you do this for me, Winn?

Would you do this for me?

MALE BANKER:
Very well, Miss Gekko.

We will have your father co-sign

and we will see to it

that the funds are transferred.

- Thank you.

- Danke schn, Miss Gekko.

- Mr. Moore.

- Yes?

Mr. Gekko asked that you call him in

New York as soon as this meeting is over.

Thank you.

So I'll take care of the rest of this.

You go back to the hotel.

- All right.

- I just got the confirmation.

We're on the direct flight to New York

in the morning.

Great.

- Great news on the loft.

- Oh, yeah?

Yeah, I got a buyer.

So one less thing in our lives, right?

- I kind of like the feeling.

- Yeah, so do I.

- I'll see you over there.

- Okay.

Hey, anyone can figure out life

when you're looking back on it.

But we got to live it going forward.

Right, Jakie?

Besides, four-and-a-half is great

in this market.

Yeah, except I owe six to the bank.

When do I have to be out of here?

You got three months more.

By the way, I had to throw in the furniture.

What there was of it.

Did you want me

to have a yard sale here for you?

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Here. Take it. Here's your pen.

- Jake...

- Dolores was just leaving.

Oh.

Hello to you, too, honey.

Don't forget. Three months, honey.

Mmm-hmm.

- Bastards changed the locks.

- You weren't servicing the loans, Ma.

Well, they lied to me. They told me

they were going to give me more time.

Well, they're not, okay?

They're panicking. Everyone is panicking.

They're gonna throw it in the market

and take what they can get for it, Ma.

But it's not even finished yet.

And that's not all. Look.

It's the other properties, Mom.

No, but they said they were gonna give me

a little more time.

And all I need is a 110 grand,

and then that way,

I can keep all three properties in play.

- I know you have it, Jake.

- I don't have it, Mom.

- You have it, Jacob.

- I don't have it,

and I wouldn't give it to you if I did have it.

- What am I supposed to do?

- You know what moral hazard is, Ma?

- You know what that means?

- No.

It means that once you get bailed out,

what's to stop you

- from taking another shot?

- But I...

I'm in trouble, Mom.

I am in trouble right now.

I'm taking a huge hit on the loft,

I just sold my bike for nothing

and now, again,

I'm writing you a check, Mom.

- Oh.

- It's ridiculous.

This is $30,000 that I barely have.

- But that's not enough, honey.

- Ma, I love you,

but I cannot keep hemorrhaging money

for your insanity.

What you need to do

is you need to go back to Henry.

You need to get another job, okay?

But this is my job. I have a job.

What do you... Oh, my God.

- You mean like a real job with a boss?

- Yes, a real job.

- I'm too old to get a...

- I'm sorry, Ma,

you got to start at some point.

You got to start now.

I can't keep carrying you forever.

(THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGL Y

RINGTONE PLAYING)

You're not the only one

who's in trouble, Ma. Please.

Hello?

DR. MASTERS:
Hey, Jake.

We have a problem.

Go ahead.

I don't know what happened.

My CFO says the money hasn't arrived yet.

Yeah, but it was sent yesterday.

It should have been there

before the Fedwire closed at 6:00.

Well, maybe there's been some sort

of mistake. It was a large amount.

Okay, just sit tight.

- All right?

- Jesus.

A few days? In this city that's nothing.

Mr. Gekko is good tenant.

I appreciate it.

GORDON:
A fisherman always sees

another fisherman from afar.

Winnie's all I got left.

You understand that?

JAKE:
How much?

Close to $100 million by now.

Don't go back in there, Jake.

This is who he is.

I did tell you, Jake.

I did warn you.

I lied to you, Winnie.

I've been in contact with your father

behind your back.

After we saw him at the dinner,

before you gave me the money.

Why?

Because I thought it was

the best thing for you, you know. For us.

I just wanted to...

You're like him.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Winnie.

I'll make it up to you.

I promise I'll get the money back.

I don't care about the money, Jake!

This is not about the money.

This is about you and me,

and we are not good anymore.

Winn, we are good. Come on.

We are good.

- Come on, Winn. We're good.

- No.

We're supposed

to make each other feel safe.

Otherwise, what's the point?

It's gone, Jake.

It's not. Please don't.

Take it.

Come on, Winn.

Please go.

Please.

Go.

I'm sorry.

GORDON:
China, India, Brazil.

Silver, oil, copper, I want to own it all.

Buy me Churchill Schwartz,

and get me updates

on the other financials.

I'm looking for deals. Only good deals.

Just ride the trends.

Just don't try too hard for the turns.

It's just like the old days, Bobby.

BOBBY:
What do you feel

about California municipals, Gordon?

No way.

California has made more mistakes

than Yogi Berra reciting Shakespeare.

(LAUGHING)

Right now, it is ugly times ugly.

And that's when the ugly get going.

You tell them for me, babe,

Gordon Gekko is back.

I'm looking for distressed securities.

I'm trying to get a hold of them

before the government does. You got that?

Okay.

- Here you are, Mr. Gekko.

- Nice, Harry.

Well, then, Alex,

you tell the Treasury Department for me

that I'm willing to stand

on the other side of their auction.

Not too tight under the arms, Mr. Gekko?

(LAUGHS) Jesus Christ. I tell you,

the government's worse than a wife.

They got all the power,

they got half the money.

Now they're working

on getting the other half.

Hey, hey, stay positive, pal.

Most people,

they lose, they whine and quit.

But you got to be there for the turns.

Everybody's got good luck,

everybody's got bad luck.

Don't run when you lose.

Don't whine when it hurts.

It's like the first grade, Jerry.

Nobody likes a crybaby.

- SALESMAN:
Whooshing sound.

- I'll take four of these.

JAKE:
Feels good to be back on top, huh?

(LAUGHING)

Hey, champ. What brings you to London?

You, Gordo.

You want to make one last trade?

Well, that depends.

Did you ever really want

to reconcile with her?

I'm human.

Then why did you do it?

Well, it's the same answer.

Look, I told you before, Winnie was gonna

stake me when I got out.

- You remember, she reneged.

- Sure, she did.

It makes you feel better

about stealing from your own blood,

doesn't it?

Every thief has some excuse.

Hey, don't you act so superior, kid.

They took 122 thousand hours of my life

for a victimless crime.

I ate my bitterness every goddamn day.

And when I got out,

who was waiting for me?

Nobody!

Not even my own daughter.

I thought Bretton was slime

until I met you.

I just never believed that a man

would sell out his own daughter.

You die your way, I'll die mine.

Get the hell out of here.

You know, she left me, Gordon.

Yeah?

I'm sorry about that.
