But think how many legends

started exactly like this.

The Kennedys were rum runners

before they ran the world.

This is our chance, come on.

Gentlemen, if I can have

your attention, please?

Thank you for coming by tonight.

Some of you may remember my friend...

Joe Hunt from High School.

We spoke to some of you guys

at Spago around three weeks ago.

If you can't remember the night...

it's the night Charlie has been

trying to forget ever since.

No way.

But I'm not the guy to talk

to you about the minutia...

of why we are here.

So, Joe? You want to...

Want to tell them about our proposal?

DEAN (V.O.):
You want

to talk about a paradox?

Joe's bad break was our lucky day.

When he got caught in my lie...

we broke through to

a whole, new level.

All he had to do was

cross one tiny line.

Gentlemen!

You are the young Turks

of L.A. heirs to empires...

sons of scions.

But, what would you do

to earn it on your own?

To look your fathers in

the eye, not for a handout.

But with a handful of cash,

that you pulled down, with this!

Dump the opportunity at your

fingertips? F*** no! Seize it.

Now is the time to own your own destiny...

and become part of something great!

The BBC.

What does BBC stand for?

Exactly.

Within that question lies our hook?

Each investor will ask, "What is

BBC?" Are we a holding company?

Are we an investment

pool? Are we a social club?

All the above.

Buy on mystery. Sell on history.

I like it.

Sounds like old money.

F*** old money!

How about we make some new money?

We all stand on the verge of

wildly profitable ventures...

in this room alone.

Scott, you bought a Benz

in Munich, drove it...

across Europe and sold it right

here for twice what you paid.

That is a hundred percent profit.

Charlie, how many times

have you advised your dad...

on energy stocks, only for

him to make the big move.

And Kyle, you believed

in my trading system...

to the tune of $10,000.

- You what?

- I did?

Yes! You did!

And here's your first disbursement check!

Wait, five thousand

dollars? Is this what's left?

No, that is profit.

DEAN (V.O.):
Instead of

admitting we lost five grand...

The rest is still in gold.

DEAN (V.O.):
Joe told

them we made five grand.

Fifty percent, in three weeks.

Yeah.

God damn.

This is just a loan.

Okay.

What do we do if he

asks for his money back?

Look, Dean, this weekend?

You're gonna scrounge up every dime...

so we can reinvest and make his money back.

You got it, Joe.

So guys, think it over, let us know.

We'll see you later.

Bullshit.

You guys are coming out with us tonight.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Yo, Tim!

This cash machine, right here,

is my new best friend, Joe Hunt.
