Duplicity Page #4

Synopsis: Ray works for MI6, Claire for the CIA. She burns him in Dubai. Jump ahead five years: he sees her in Grand Central and confronts her. Both now work in industrial security for corporate giants whose CEOs hate each other. Flashbacks fill us in: is it coincidence that he sees her in Grand Central? In about a week, one of the firms is going to announce a revolutionary product. Under the guise of helping that corporation's rival, can Ray and Claire work their own theft and find an independent buyer? To work together, using the corporate rivalry to their advantage, they would have to trust one another - difficult, if not impossible. Or, is one playing the other?

for all the money that I'm spending on this,

you could've given me a code

that I can remember;

Sir!

What the hell is this?

Why are we here?

We are here today

because the rules have changed;

We're here because the fabric of integrity

has been so abused and mangled

that it is little more

than a threadbare memory;

We're here because it's no longer enough

to have the best ideas,

or the best manufacturing,

or the best pipeline to deliver your product;

"We're here today because we find ourselves

in a world where duplicity and theft

"are tested daily as replacements

for innovation and perseverance;"

(LAUGHING)

"Tested daily;" What a bunch of crap;

Can you believe this?

This from a guy who bought a dump

so he could go through our garbage;

I believe the history

of all successful endeavors

can be reduced to a series

of decisive moments;

"There are moments in the history

of all things

"where the placement of a single; ; ;"

; ; ; where the placement of a single molecule

can make the difference

between triumph and catastrophe;

I mean, who the hell writes

with a fountain pen anymore?

For Christ's sake;

How fricking pretentious is that?

This room we're in now,

this entire program,

was created in anticipation

of just such a moment;

You people are the very best at what you do;

You were chosen by that standard;

You've been paid and treated accordingly;

And you have never been tested

as you are about to be tested;

"Burkett% Randle will be rolling out

a new product

"in the very near future;"

And while I cannot reveal

the nature of this product,

believe me when I tell you that simply

by announcing its development; ; ;

"; ; ;B% R will be dramatically repositioned

at the summit of the global marketplace;"

I don't need to explain to anybody

in this room

why the scope, the details,

the very existence of this project

must be so carefully protected;

I expect your best in days to come,

and I promise you,

if we stay focused and vigilant,

we will, all of us; ; ;

"; ; ;prosper;"

What the hell does he have over there?

Dick? Dick? Don't go dark on me now;

Dick!

We gotta stay positive; Hey, look around;

This is why we're here;

When you came to me,

that first conversation, this is it;

This is why we built the unit;

- I know what he's doing;

- Dick; Dick!

Look at me;

This is a great team we've got here;

RICHARD:
Mmm-hmm;

Yeah; We are so prepped;

We are so ready to deploy;

You say the word,

you unleash the beast, Dick;

- We will tear this thing apart;

- He's just timing the blow, Duke;

- No; Wrong; We caught a break here;

- We caught a break? You call this a break?

I got a shareholders' convention
