his widow, ex-film star Lee Winters...

...was accompanied by leading members

of the corporate and financial world.

So Lee Winters, the poor girl who

came out of the dirt hills of Arkansas...

...to achieve stardom

as the glamorous Ashley Norman...

...one of Hollywood's

most respected actresses...

...who, at the height of her career,

gave it up to become the wife...

...of a great American industrialist...

...played today her toughest role:

Where to go from here.

There are rumors that things

aren't what they were...

...in the troubled petrochemical empire

built by Winters...

...now facing the critical question

of who will become its next chairman.

And now in a...

Don't take too long.

Hurry back down.

- Gaby, did you take my book?

- What book?

Well, Paris, we're seeing

some pressure out of Zurich.

Eleven's ringing. Who's on 11?

But we think it's topping out.

We're all atwitter.

Let me have your dollar-franc, please.

The question is, is he ready for us?

I've had a balance sheet worked up...

...and a summary of assets.

Is there anything else you might need?

Oh, nothing special.

Your interim financials maybe.

Something showing your cash position,

loan position, deposits.

Also a P & L statement, if you've got one.

The maturity schedules on your commercial

paper. Classifications on your loan portfolio.

Maybe the last examiner's report.

Oh, and your current profit breakdown.

You sure that'll be enough?

For a start.

Cheers.

Well, doctor, you've been on the case

for a while now. What's the prognosis?

Will the patient live?

The patient's been dead for six months

and doesn't know it.

Come on, now. It's not that bad.

No?

Roy, I salute you.

Borough National's your masterpiece.

Well, we may have to tighten our belt.

Try it around your neck.

Okay.

- I'll call Emery. You can bail out.

- No, I took this trip without a parachute.

- This is when the fun begins.

- Smith, this is not some sort of game.

Yes, it is. That's exactly what it is.

You keep talking about a system, Roy.

That's your problem.

You can't beat the system,

but you can win a game.

- How?

- First, we have to find a way...

...to get some profit in here now.

Just 3 or 4 million...

...so we can meet that dividend

and give ourselves a little time to breathe.

A nice, hungry customer

so we can give him a big, fat loan.

Say, a couple 100 million.

- Collect the commission.

- Where are we gonna get the money?

I'll find the money.

What we need right now is a customer.

We really need a company even more

in the shithouse than we are.

If that's possible.

Sit down, Roy.

Talk to me about

the Winterchem Petrochemical Corporation.

We're loaned out to them to the legal limit.
