Got you a gift, Charlie.

What's this, gold?

I've been studying the market

going back forty quarters.

And if we invest in gold right now.

My dad is in gold.

And he says the market's gonna tank.

How is the system going to handle that?

That's why we reverse gold.

We buy and sell a pair of puts and calls...

and set a spread against volatility.

Hold on, shut up a minute.

Hey, did we go to high school together?

No, no, seriously he looks familiar.

Sh*t! Yeah! Hey, I f***ing know this kid!

He was the one who was thrown

off that debate team, right?

And then I stuffed the guy in a locker.

We reverse gold.

- Okay, I've got a Macallan...

- We reverse gold.

Macallan 12, a Glenlivet, a Makers.

Happy birthday, Charlie.

Hey!

So, Dean, you got that

ten grand you owe me?

Or my Corvette?

No, it's back at my house. I'll

bring it to you in the morning.

Dude, we gotta get you outta the valley.

Dean, I will never

freeze up like that again.

I know, brother. I believe in you, man.

(TV BLARING)

ED MCMAHON (OVER TV):

Here's... Johnny!

Thank you, the recession

has hit Rodeo Drive.

I saw a guy filling up

his Rolls-Royce today...

at the self-service island.

Yes, and it's depressing

in Beverly Hills...

during a recession.

It's depressing, you

see people lined up...

with food stamps to buy Haagen Daz.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(ALARM BLARING)

Took you long enough.

I called you hours ago.

Have you even slept?

No, Dean, sit down, the

Biltmores, Charlie, all them.

Their names have given them

everything they could ever want.

Except purpose and

responsibility and self-respect.

They've never had to worry about

how to cover a car payment...

or how to make rent.

Things everyone else stays

up nights worrying about.

So, of course, when I showed

up with a flake of gold...

and asked them to invest, it

didn't mean anything to them.

These guys, they don't care

about market analysis...

or projections or any of that sh*t.

They want to be part of something?

Exactly.

And every business needs

its founding priniciples.

You've heard of Steve Jobs?

Yeah, of course.

Remind me?

Steve Jobs, he is 26 years old.

He's living the American dream.

He dropped out of college and

now he's worth $149 million.

How?

Because he took computer

technology and made it simple.

He's selling the future.

Read this.

Paradox Philosophy.

Turn bad into good,

even wrong becomes right.

In the right context, you could

take yesterday's failures...

and turn them into tomorrow's successes.

This is rad.

What's the BBC?

It's the name of our company.

What does it stand for?

Remember that poker game...

we could never get into in high school?

No one will know.
