Watch out.
Golder is a scoundrel.
Golder is a great man.
Mr. Marcus
is waiting in your study.
I thought you and he
had a falling-out.
My dear Soifer...
are you having dinner
with me tonight?
I'd love to.
I'm in no hurry
to head home to Mrs. Soifer.
What now?
I told you no yesterday
before I left for London.
Wasn't that enough for you?
Come now, David.
We've been partners
for 26 years.
It's been fifty-fifty
down the line...
and yet...
now...
Your memory's failing you.
What about
that Mexican oil deal last year?
Have you forgotten
all those millions
that made their way
from my pocket to yours?
And yet we were partners.
Oh, you know
how business is!
Now you need old Golder.
You know the Soviets
will negotiate with him.
Don't deny that for a year now
you've been negotiating a deal
with General Petroleum
behind my back.
The Soviets are going to negotiate
with General Petroleum.
No.
General Petroleum
had an option,
but it ran out last night.
So you know about that too?
You see?
General Petroleum
is finished.
The Russians will sign
with Tbingen and me.
Fifty-fifty, Golder!
I need money desperately.
Everyone needs money,
my friend.
So you mean...
you'd ruin me financially?
I don't care.
Bastard!
That's right.
Isn't Mr. Soifer tired
of walking on his tiptoes?
It's a habit now.
This way
I don't wear out the soles.
- May we eat now?
- Yes, sir. It's ready.
Does a Jew
need all this to live?
What were you doing
in London?
I was buying emeralds.
Splendid ones!
Now, that's money!
Better than
all your filthy paper.
Diamonds neatly
locked up in a safe.
You sit on your millions
like an old hen.
And you throw
your millions away.
I enjoy it.
Sure. Today a billionaire,
and tomorrow as poor as
As Soifer!
with his frockcoat
and sidelocks.
That's life!
What about...
Marcus?
That's taken care of.
You work too much.
You should rest.
Yes...
I'm a bit tired.
And I'm fed up.
I'm leaving for Biarritz
tomorrow.
Ten days of rest
or I'll collapse.
Is your wife
down there now?
Yes...
with Joyce.
I haven't seen
your daughter in a long time.
How old is she?
Seventeen.
I hope she doesn't look
like her father.
She's a beauty.
She'll make a good match.
Yes...
she'll have money.
How's business?
I just had a bad setback...
but in 12 days I'll be meeting
with Tbingen in Berlin.
Then I'll see
the Soviets in Baku...
and old Golder
will be back on top.
A telegram.
Here's the sort of news
my wife has sent me
for the last 30 years.
NEED MONEY GLORIA
150,000 for rent on this place.
One million for furniture.
And who lives here?
Just me.
They never come here.
But they'll go to Deauville,
Biarritz, Cairo, Venice.
It's the fate of all men:
We work ourselves to death
so our wives can get rich.
Take my wife.
The other day
she buys a new hat.
Seventy-two francs...
for an upside-down pot.
If at least she got
some use out of it,
but she won't wear it
for more than two seasons.
And at her age!
What's that?
It can't be!
What is it? Bad news?
The idiot!
You don't just go kill yourself.
Marcus!
Didn't you have a tiny part
in causing his ruin?
His ruin?
Ruin! Hah!
You start over again!
I've started over 20 times!
Is this why
To come to this?
What a fool!
Whose car is this?
It's Madame's new Rolls.
She was tired
of the Hispano.
Miss Joyce isn't here?
No, Miss Joyce has guests.
Too weak, Fred.
More gin.
Yes, Miss Joyce.
You still owe me a fox-trot,
