The Good Guy Page #2

Synopsis: Ambitious young Manhattanite and urban conservationist Beth wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is often the trickiest of all. Beth falls hard for Tommy, a sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot. But just as everything seems to be falling into place, complications arise in the form of Tommy's sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel. Beth soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street -- high risk, high reward and everybody has an angle.

We all have a past, Beth.

It's-- It's how you deal with it.

I just got off the phone with the people

on the Battery Park dig.

They uncovered an old wall

that I think could be from

the original Dutch settlement here.

Oh, my God.

- That's amazing.

- well, they're not gonna see it that way

once they realize it's gonna set

their construction back a few months

While we excavate.

Oh, and Beth?

This could be something

Worth presenting in Florence.

What the f***

do you want me to do, Robert?

- I am here--

- I gotta hop, this guy's killing me.

God, I love the mute button.

There are five other calls

I can make here, Tommy.

You gotta release me.

I understand that, Bobby.

Just give me one second, okay?

Hey, Shakes, this guy's

a really good client.

You can't just put this up for me?

I don't care if he's the f***ing Pope.

How do I know he's

not gonna f*** me over?

I'm hanging up, Tommy.

Okay, one call.

Then you can go and let

every other loser on wall Street

f*** this up for you, okay?

Fine. But keep me on the wire

and don't f***ing mute me.

Okay. Baker, didn't you say you had

a big seller the other day?

Yeah, Pacific. we're still

In the penalty box with him.

Okay, you know what?

Give him to me.

Page five.

You know you guys

are still cut off, right?

Hey. This is actually Tom Fielding.

I run the sales desk over here.

How you doing, Tom?

John Caldwell.

I was calling to ask

a yes or no question, all right?

Fine.

Are you potentially interested

In trading Microsoft today, yes or no?

Potentially.

But not with you guys.

Bobby, this is gonna happen.

Now, just FYl,

I have a guy looking

for a pretty big chunk.

Maybe half a mil.

- Does that interest you?

- Potentially. Sure.

Unfortunately, John, I don't have

the luxury of a lot of time here.

My guy's real.

He's on the phone for one call.

And that's you. Half a mil?

On the wire, last print, in or out?

Put it up.

Great. Now, this is just me asking.

Would you be able to go larger?

Hey, half a mil,

trying to go bigger.

- Are you trying to front run me?

- No.

You just gotta trust me,

just a little bit, okay, John?

Two million.

Could go to two million here.

No, it's not Bill Gates on the line.

He's a mutual fund guy,

just like you.

Well, he's got a lot more hair

and he's a little better looking.

Fine. Make it read two.

Okay. ls two million your total picture?

Why? ls he trying to move more?

What's he saying.

Are we done here? Let's go!

Is he trying to move more?

All right, gentlemen,

I'm on the phone with both you right now.

I think this ticket reads five million

and we all walk away.

That be on a cleanup?

I knew he had more behind that.
