A word?

Yeah.

Complex recommends extra security.

- You're not happy about this.

- No.

First, a threat

at the president.

You're confident you can

handle whatever it comes up?

Now an attack on the managing

director of the International Monetary Fund.

Arthur Rapp?

Arthur Rapp, yes.

Where?

Nike, North Korea, while being

interviewed on television.

It's on all the channels.

Director Rapp, will this

change your policy on the yuan?

The yuan is uncharacteristically

inflated, which makes it unstable

and eventually it will drop,

and when it...

The Complex...

accept their recommendation.

Good.

All these limos, my God,

that you can't tell one from another.

We could be kids on prom night.

Or some dumb wedding wherever.

What's the charm of identical?

That I'm a powerful person that

chooses not to demarcate his territory with

singular driblets of piss, is what?

Something I need to apologize for?

I want to go home and

tongue-kiss my Maxima.

You now what today is?

Incidentally...

- I know.

- It's my day off, dammit!

I know this.

I need this extra day, desperately.

I know this.

But you don't know this.

You can't know what it's like,

I am a single struggling mother.

We have a situation here.

I am a mother running in the

park when my phone explodes in my navel

But it's the situation, it....

we have a situation alright,

we have a yuan carry that can crush us in hours.

Take some water.

Sit on the banquette.

I like face to face.

And I don't need to look at all

those screens, I know what's happening.

The yuan will fall.

That's right.

Consumer's spending down.

That's right.

Besides, the Bank of China

left the interest rates unchanged.

This happened today?

This happened tonight in Shanghai,

I called the source at Shenzhen.

While running?

While flinging my body down

Maddison Avenue, to get here on time.

The yuan can't go any higher.

That's true, that's right.

Except it just did.

Hadn't sleep last night.

There's a time limit.

Doctor Ingram?

Who the f*** are you?

Doctor Ingram.

Where's Doctor Nevius?

Called away suddenly.

A personal matter.

Speak slowly and clearly.

Called away suddenly,

I don' know, a family crisis...

I'm the associate, I...I...

flushed out your ear holes once.

You do this why?

What?

Everyday.

No matter...?

Wherever I am, that's right.

No matter.

So you do what?

Same routine every day?

Varies.

Depending.

So he comes to your house

On weekends.

It happens.

You're right.

We die because it's the weekend.

I thought we were moving,
