Cocktail Page #3

Then what we have is a sum

of an infinite series.

Adding together the increases

in currency and deposits...

we find that they add up

to one plus CU over CU plus RE.

That, simply stated,

is the money multiplier.

Now, moving on.

The essential technique

of bartending:

Less is more.

The less you pour,

the more you score.

The boss does better,

we do better.

And the customer?

Think of the customer as a hurdler

thinks of a hurdle: a means to an end.

We dazzle him with ice work...

we baffle him with bottle work.

There are many ways

to fool a customer.

The short pour.

The long pour.

The ice mountain,

the spring thaw.

The speed-rack shuffle,

the hot shot.

You will learn them all.

Yes, Obi-Wan.

Both hands. Ladies, ladies,

come on, come on.

Okay, ready?

One, two, three, let go!

Yeah, what does it mean?

What does it mean? Nothing!

- Nothing?

- Nothing? All right!

Nothing?

Whoa!

- Very sophisticated, man!

- What a good jolt!

You got it going!

Come on, let's go with the drinks.

I'm making money tonight.

Let's make some money

for a change!

Ice!

- Catch!

- Thank you!

I guess that's what

you learn in college, right?

What buns! See?

Don't forget my beers, Bri!

- Missed me.

- Ha!

See, the name of the game

is "woman."

The little darlings

come in a-panting.

Their little hearts are pitter-patting

for the handsome, all-knowing bartender.

And in their wake,

a parade of slobbering geeks...

with one hand on their crotches

and the other hand on their wallets.

You get the women, you get the bucks.

And boy, oh, boy, you've got them.

Buttons were popping,

skirts were rising.

When you can see

the colour of their panties...

then you know

you've got talent.

Stick with me, son.

I'll make you a star.

Thanks, man,

but I gotta be honest.

This is just

a part-time gig for me.

I'm in a business programme,

City College, days.

Ah. A seeker of wisdom and truth.

You couldn't have found a better

work-study programme than right here.

- To a future leader of America.

- I'll stick with the brew.

Beer is for breakfast around here.

Drink or be gone.

I realize I've got a class

of budding capitalists here.

That most of you are seeking

the fast track...

lovely term...

to a career in investment banking

or some other socially useful pursuit.

Nevertheless,

certain antiquated skills...

such as reading and writing...

remain a part

of the curriculum.

So, for your first assignment...

I'd like you to write

your own obituaries.

Not that I wish you were dead.

At least not yet, anyway.

Brian Flanagan.

Senator Brian Flan...

Billionaire governor...

Brian Flanagan, whose self-propelled,

meteoric rise to wealth and fame...
