WILLIAMSON:

I can't do it, Shel.

Pause.

LEVENE:

I'll give you ten percent.

Pause.

WILLIAMSON:

Of what?

LEVENE:

And what if you don't close.

LEVENE:

I will close.

WILLIAMSON:

What if you don't close...?

9.

LEVENE:

I will close.

WILLIAMSON:

What if you don't? Then I'm f***ed.

You see...? Then it's my job.

That's what I'm telling you.

LEVENE:

I will close. John, John, ten

percent. I can get hot. You know

that...

WILLIAMSON:

Not lately you can't...

LEVENE:

F*** that. That's defeatist. F***

that. F*** it...Get on my side.

Go with me. Let's do something.

You want to run this office, run it.

WILLIAMSON:

Twenty percent.

Pause.

LEVENE:

Alright.

WILLIAMSON:

And fifty bucks a lead.

LEVENE:

John.

(pause)

Listen. I want to talk to you.

Permit me to do this a second. I'm

older than you. A man acquires a

reputation. On the street. What

he does when he's up, what he does

otherwise...I said "ten," you said

"no." You said "twenty." I said

"fine," I'm not going to f*** with

you, how can I beat that, you tell

me?...Okay. Okay. We'll...Okay.

Fine. We'll...Alright, twenty

percent, and fifty bucks a lead.

That's fine. For now. That's fine.

A month or two we'll talk. A month

from now. Next month. After the

thirtieth.

(pause)

We'll talk.

10.

WILLIAMSON:

What are we going to say?

LEVENE:

No. You're right. That's for

later. We'll talk in a month.

What have you got? I want two sits.

Tonight.
