Bad Influence Page #5

- Least you could do is say thank you.

l reminded her of your grief

towards Jasmin.

Michael, l don't mind you

giving away my Franco thing.

lt's smart to keep the dead wife though.

Confess to one lie, but continue another.

Nothing like it to confuse people.

l think she would have

gone for you without me.

She said we seem like brothers.

- She did?

- Yeah.

l knew you did something

cos that never happens to me.

lt does now.

Tell me what you want, Mick.

''Mick''?

Tell me what you want.

Tell me what you're afraid of.

l, uh...

Just for fun. Come on, tell me.

What are you afraid of?

l'm afraid of getting married, l guess.

That's easy. Don't.

Well, l'm engaged.

Why?

l didn't wanna lose her.

l...

l'm terrified of gettin' married.

Done.

Now tell me what you want.

More than anything else in the world,

what do you want?

This guy Patterson and l are both

up for the same job - senior analyst.

l want that job. l want that so bad.

Then drink to it.

Make it happen.

Make it happen.

- Give me that quote on the whole 79.

- (man) l've already told you l could.

- You wanna dump the dollars?

- You wanna go to lunch?

l can't. l gotta meet somebody.

Great job on the bimonthly.

When have you had time to sleep?

- Pete, l'll call you back.

- Gotta beat the morning trade figure.

l know. l know. l know. l'll call you back.

Hi, Alex. Sorry l'm late.

Listen, just leave them under the seats.

Sure you can't go? Beautiful day.

Track? l really can't

play the ponies right now.

- You're uptight.

- lt's work.

Wanna tell me about it?

lt's a matter of timing. The trade figure

comes out at 5.30 tomorrow morning.

lt's going to be significantly up.

- How do you know?

- l just know. l feel it. lt's my job to know.

l should dump dollars

before New York closes,

but company policy dictates that l can't

until after the trade figure is out.

What if you do it before?

lf l'm right, l'm ahead of everybody,

the client cleans up.

So you can make 'em money.

lt's not illegal. What's the problem?

lt's a question of judicious business.

lt's not a question of judicious business.

- lt's a question of balls.

- (winces)

Do you have the cojones or don't you?

- Spent all night doing the report. l'm tired.

- Good morning, Michael.

- (Leslie over intercom) You in already?

- Yeah.

- A Mr Cojones for you on line three.

- Hello.

- (Alex) Morning.

- You up already?

l haven't gone to bed yet.

Well, how'd you do?

- l was right. Up by almost a 30% pop.

- Great! Let's celebrate.

l can't. l gotta go to Ruth's parents' house

for dinner - anniversary party. Very formal.

- Sounds like a riot.

- l can't not go. Dr Fielding'd be crushed.
