Boiler Room Page #2

and then some kid started

sneaking in additional funds.

- Who's that? Moyshe?

- No, no. Some kid up the block.

F***in' Moyshe.

- So that's a nice car you have there.

- Thanks. A Ferrari.

Yeah. It's a 355,

six-speed transmission, right?

Yeah. It's a synchromesh.

I love it. Nice.

Yo, sh*t is yellow, B.

Rizzy's the color, nugga.

Yellow's filthy. Come on.

It's Big Bird mode.

All right.

Place your bets.

- Hey.

- You are late.

- I know. I'm sorry.

- Your father is really upset.

- He won't even tell me what it is.

- Jesus.

- Hey.

- What's up, Seth?

- How you doin'? How's school?

- It's all right.

That's a good question, Seth.

You wanna tell us what happened?

- We didn't know if you were comin'.

- Oh, yeah. Traffic was crazy.

So?

Do you wanna wait till after

dinner to talk about it?

Yeah, let's eat first.

- Answer the question, Seth.

- I dropped out.

You wanna tell us why?

Well, I gave it a year, Dad,

and it's just not for me.

I see. So that means you've been

lying to us for six months.

Six months, Seth.

"School's fine, Dad.

My grades are good, Dad."

Let's just leave that for a second.

So you dropped out.

That means you haven't been getting

your student loan checks, right?

Is that right? How are you making

the rent every month, Seth?

I'm running a business,

and I'm just earning a living.

Earning a living? This what

you call earning a living?

- Marty, are those drugs?

- Yes.

- Yes, those are drugs?

- No, Mom. This is an honest living.

And you can ask any one

of my customers.

What do you mean, "customers"?

Where's the customers?

They're children of people

in this community.

How do you think I got these?

Anyway, it's illegal.

You're running a backdoor card game!

How do you think this reflects on me?

I'm a judge,

for Christ's sake!

Are you listening to me?

I'm gonna be honest with you.

You're runnin'a good business.

I think you're a smart kid,

pullin' in some real cash.

But I gotta tell you, man,

this is risky f***in' business.

I mean, you really honestly plan

on dealing cards to college kids...

when you're f***in' 35?

You don't think you'll get pinched

in the next couple years?

Maybe it's time to start thinkin'

about down-the-line time.

So, you want me

to come work for you?

What? I guess it'll be like retribution

for me taking all your money here?

First of all, I am not

done with you here, all right?

And, no, you're only gonna

work for me a short time.

You pass the Series Seven.

You learn the ropes.

You're on your own.

Yeah, ask Adam, man.

He'll tell you.

- It's good.

- It's good?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna be blunt.

We're talkin' about

millions of dollars.
