Arbitrage Page #2

The $412 million you needed,

you said for two weeks.

And which has been languishing now

for 32 days

while it could be elsewhere invested

earning an actual return

instead of couching this absurd lie

that you're spinning.

What do you want me to say?

That you're gonna get a signature

from Mayfield

and that my hostage money and my fee

are gonna be sent to me promptly,

say, by tomorrow?

I'm solving the problem.

I'm gonna get your money. And your fee.

You will have it very shortly.

When?

As soon as they sign the f***ing contract!

I'm not the one with the liability.

I just made a loan.

You're looking at 1,000 years' jail time

- for fraudulent conveyance...

- Stop it!

You don't have to talk to me like that, Jeff.

I didn't get you into this mess!

Remember when you were asking me...

You were a friend of mine...

is it a good idea to convert half your liquid

assets into a f***ing copper mine?

What did I tell you?

Are we done? I think we're done here.

Friday morning I take my money back.

You can't do that.

The f*** I can't!

It's in an escrow bill with a one day...

I need that money in there

until they sign, Jeffrey!

What if they check again?

What am I supposed to do?

It's not my problem, is it?

Not your f***ing problem.

Let's go.

Especially Russia,

where fears of further nationalization

appear to be scaring away

international investors.

The Dow off to a strong start

this morning on a bevy of news

firmly pointing to an economy

picking up steam.

What?

7:
30 this evening, the Four Seasons.

We'll get it straight with Mayfield then.

Good. Very good.

Is this too blue?

That's the third one you've tried on.

Will you just relax? It looks fabulous.

What's going on?

I look old.

You look regal.

And wise.

And, granted, a little worried.

What is going on?

Are you afraid of this meeting?

They haven't signed the papers.

I thought that's why you went down there.

So did I.

For some reason they're stalling.

And I didn't sleep on the plane.

It's all going to be fine.

It always is. Just follow the plan.

And what is that plan?

Confidence equals contract.

You sound like a fortune cookie.

They are your words, actually.

- Then you married an idiot.

- Okay.

But I was thinking, idiot,

that maybe after the deal is done

which it definitely will be,

maybe we could just take off.

What do you say? Let's have an adventure.

Pete's in the best place he's ever been.

- Your daughter, as always, is brilliant.

- Yeah.

Right? So, I wanna have some fun.

I wanna have fun with you.

Let's go to Rovella. The house there.

We haven't been there forever.

I haven't had time.

Well, you have to make time.
