Is that a problem?

Because if it is, that's fine.

I'm a little uncomfortable with this anyway.

Definitely been hurt a lot.

I had a lot of bad experiences.

Some good ones.

But definitely a lot of bad ones.

I'm desperate, basically.

I mean, not in general, you understand?

You know, not just for anybody.

But, man, for her... Yeah.

Why don't you tell me about her?

Let's see, what can I say?

My company handles her finances.

I'm her tax consultant.

Well, I'm one of them.

I'm the junior man on the account.

- So does she know you're interested?

- No.

Alive?

I lent her my pen once.

Shoot. Does anyone have a pen?

- Here, take mine.

- Albert, you're crushing my arm.

Sorry about that. Here you go, Allegra.

Allegra? As in Allegra Cole?

Yeah, I realize that I'm not her usual type.

Well, her last boyfriend owned Sweden

or something.

And that guy was a bum.

He didn't seem like

a very nice person to me.

You swing for the fence.

Look, you don't think I tried

talking myself out of this?

I mean, you don't think I know

how ridiculous this is? I know, okay?

I just thought that maybe with your help...

You know what?

I'm really sorry I wasted your time.

Hold on a second, Albert.

You know what it's like

getting up every morning feeling hopeless?

Feeling like the love of your life

is waking up with the wrong man?

But at the same time,

hoping that she still finds happiness...

even if it's never gonna be with you?

You are flat-out...

out of your mind. You know that?

That's good.

It is?

You ever heard of Michelangelo?

Heard of the Sistine Chapel?

Michelangelo.

Sistine Chapel.

You saying you can do this?

My name is Alex Hitchens.

Let's go paint that ceiling.

Take it easy.

Oh, my God!

Well, it looks like I'm still rich.

But what I would really like,

and what I was wondering is...

if I could have $500,000

to invest on my own.

And what were you thinking

of investing in, Allegra?

Well, it's something

that I really have a passion for.

Daydreams are for private time.

When you're in the room, be in the room.

Concentrate. Focus.

Women respond when you respond to them.

My friend Maggie is a talented designer.

I've seen the business plan

and the samples look fantastic.

And I would really like to get involved.

I'll tell you what.

Let us come up with a range of investments

that we think you might be interested in...

and next month,

we'll run the whole lot of them by you.

Okay.

Fine. Thank you. All right, gentlemen.

Let's go over this one more time.

What is the objective?

Shock and awe.

That was shockingly awful.

What is the objective?

Shock and awe.

What is the objective?
