Derailed Page #3

- Mm-hm.

- How about you?

- Oh, all over.

I was an Army brat.

I grew up everywhere and nowhere.

My address changed every six months,

and so did my best friend.

But, then again, I got to change too.

If I screwed up in Fort Hood, Texas,

they didn't have to know about it

in Saratoga, New York.

I could just be this whole other person.

That happen a lot? You screwing up?

Mm-hm. Yep.

I was the consummate rebel

against authority.

- Oh, is that what you called it?

- No, that's what my parents called it.

I called it gettin' lit.

But then I got my act together

when I got out of school,

and Dad really wanted a lawyer.

He settled for a banker.

The next stop

is Chicago Union Station.

This is the end of the Red Line.

All passengers,

please disembark at this time.

Thank you.

Busy day?

Oh, in finance, every day is a busy day.

Oh, I bet you're getting a lot of angry

calls with an economy like this.

Well, if you consider

death threats angry.

Tell me about it.

Clients, they love you

when times are good...

No, no, no, when times are good,

you never make them enough money.

There's always some cousin

or brother or grandmother

whose stock split 64 ways,

and why can't you sell 'em one of those,

like I got some

crystal ball or something.

Tell me about it.

I got fired off my biggest account.

My boss didn't even warn me.

Supposed to be a good friend of mine.

That bastard.

Do you want me to yell at him for you?

Give me his number,

Ill crank-call him.

Some people just don't know how

to appreciate what they've got.

Morning, Charles.

Yes, sir.

- What up, Chaz?

- Hey.

You all right?

You look a little sick in the face,

- like you got the bug.

- No.

- It ain't contagious, is it?

- It's nothing.

- That's what Dick Lembergh said.

- Who's Dick Lembergh?

Ain't nobody now.

That motherf***er dead.

Winston.

Come here. Let me ask you something.

- This about the computers?

- No, no.

I appreciate what you did for me.

Forget about it. Buy me a beer sometime.

This is something else.

Go ahead. Shoot for it.

Say you went to the movies,

but you forgot your money,

and someone offered

to buy your ticket for you.

- In Chicago?

- I'm just saying, hypothetically.

It's only right

to talk to them, isn't it?

I mean, thank them.

Show you appreciate it somehow, right?

This full price or matinee?

That's the difference

between five or ten bucks, man.

You know what?

Never mind.

Hey, yo. I asked that cop

about those questions,

and three other players

were National League.

I'm still working on that.

I need those answers

by tomorrow to get that moola, baby.

- We're cool about the computers, right?
