Gadgets, computers, oxblood leather furniture. With

the DIN of the brokerage firm bleeding in, Jordan usesa credit card to cut a line of coke on his desk. As he

peels a crisp $100 DOLLAR BILL off a wad, rolls it up:

JORDAN:

Enough of this sh*t’ll make youinvincible, able to conquer theworld and eviscerate your enemies.

He SNARFS up the line, gestures to the cocaine.

JORDAN (CONT’D)

I’m not talking about this. I’m

talking about this.

(Jordan unfurls the$100 with a SNAP)

Money is the oxygen of capitalismand I wanna breathe more than anyother human being alive.

He crumbles it into a ball and tosses it into a corner,

where it comes to rest with two dozen others. Over his

back as we TRACK HIM out of his office toward what sounds

like the ROAR of a mob-JORDAN

Money doesn’t just buy you abetter life -- better food, better

cars, better p*ssy -- it alsomakes you a better person. You

can give generously to the churchof your choice or the political

party. You can save the fuckingspotted owl with money.
