Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Page #2

It's United Fusion Corporation, Stan.

Come on. It's apples and oranges.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

You mean the deal that we already sank

$50 million into, Mr. Brainiac?

Alternative energy

is what biotech was 15 years ago, Stan.

Come on. You were young once.

You know that.

Profits aren't quarterly.

The runs could be huge.

We'll all be dead by the time

your nutty professor makes us any money.

Right, this coming from the guy

who said Google was a bubble.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Anyway. Hydra Offshore.

It's priced right for us to make

three to five times on our money.

And better yet, what we all love the most.

Big year-end bonuses.

(BELL RINGING)

MAN:
Let's go! Let's go!

Let's make some dough!

What's up? You good?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I can't! It's not up to me.

Maybe I can do it, maybe I can't do it.

People are telling me something.

Jesus! Harry, you gave me your word.

You know I know!

You okay, Lou?

(GRUNTS)

Good day, I'm okay. Bad day, I'm okay.

What's the difference?

Do me a favor.

Don't ask me dumb questions.

JAKE:
You wanted to see me?

Steve, stay on top of Harry, okay?

- He's driving me crazy.

- STEVE:
You got it, boss.

Follow me.

(GASPS)

Why?

That's some "Thank you."

What do you want, a kiss, too?

I thought maybe the news out of London

would've wrecked the mood.

London? Don't tell me London.

I take a look at their sheets. They tell me

they got a $125 million profit, right?

I look at the same lousy spread,

to me it looks like

a buck and a quarter loss.

Then they tell me, "Don't worry about it.

We're making money on the losses."

How do you make money on losses?

You tell me.

I'm just an old dinosaur.

Lou, I believe in Keller Zabel. We're fine.

And you're not a dinosaur. Come on.

It's no fun anymore, Jacob.

I'm talking to some guy

in Mumbai, Dumbai.

I don't know what he's talking about.

I don't know what he's selling,

I don't know who he is,

I don't know how much I'm putting up.

And my partners, they're in their graves.

They're laughing at me.

It's just a bunch of machines now,

telling us what to do.

That's why you got people like me here,

Lou, to lighten the load.

Getting old is not for sissies, kid.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Take that money, huh?

You spend it on that pretty girl.

You deserve it.

I remember when the pro sent me you.

This skinny kid with crazy hair.

I said, "Jimmy, what are you doing to me?

Give me a real caddy."

I was having a bad day,

and you wouldn't shut up.

Twelve years old,

you're talking to me about

companies and sectors and earnings.

You had the hunger, Jake.

I could smell it then. You still got it.

I've just never had a check like this
