Four?

They're crazy.

I should just get up and

walk out right now.

Okay, calm down.

Honestly, we put a solid offer

on the table.

My clients are selling for four,

leaving half a million in equity.

Now, this is the deal.

Oh, No.

Richard, please sit down.

I'll show this to my clients.

Don't know if it'll fly,

but we'll see.

Hey, how's it going in there?

Anything I can do?

Listen, when Bill and Norah leave,

I want you to pop your head

into the conference room

and I want you to say

these exact words:

"Your clients are leaving."

Sure. Anything else I need to know?

No, not yet.

Hmm.

Well?

3.5 million.

We already came down

from four.

We'll only break even if we

agree to three and a half.

Do you trust me?

We know you're working as hard

as you can to close this deal,

but that richard guy...

is taking advantage of us.

I know.

That's why if you trust me,

I want you to do exactly

what I'm about to tell you.

In 10 minutes, I need for you to get up,

walk out of this office

past the conference room,

and out the door.

I don't understand.

We're in the middle of negotiating.

Trust me.

Haven't you ever done something

without knowing the outcome?

Wait 10 minutes,

and go home.

The next time you'll hear from me

will be me calling to congratulate you.

Do you understand now?

Not really.

Bill, let's just do

what she asks.

'Kay. 10 minutes.

Let me call you back.

Well?

Do we have a deal or not?

What is it with you and this paper?

Can't you speak? What did they say?

Do we have a deal or not?

You're crazy!

No, they're crazy!

4.2 million?

What is going on here?

We made a fair offer and

they're going up in price?

They're tired of this back and forth,

push and pull.

And they said if you do not

agree to it within 10 minutes,

the deal's off the table.

I don't believe you.

3.7 million is a lot of money.

I mean, who's gonna

walk away from that?

Your clients?

They're leaving?

They're walking out

of the building right now.

Well, I guess that means

the deal's off.

What? After all the time

and work I put into this?

Go. Go get them.

As I explained, they told me

if I didn't come back,

they were walking.

Meghan, your clients

are leaving.

Okay, four.

Four, and we go to close today.

Now would you please go

get them before they leave?

Ah, tell my clients I'll send the

paperwork over this afternoon.

Okay.

It's been a pleasure.

Thank you.

And congratulations on a great buy!

I just closed the Smith's deal.

Good. It's about time.

No, I don't like any of it.

Redo it.

You, come with me.

There's some people I want

you to meet in my office.

Meghan, I would like to introduce you

to the Yakamoto brothers,

Kana and hoshi Yakamoto.

Gentlemen, this is Meghan Doherty.

Konichiwa.

Konichiwa.

She will be heading your casino project.

Mr. Whitaker, we have

a lot riding on our deal.

I understand.

Meghan is my top investment

banker here at the firm.

We've revised our business plan

to include photos of the

extended land in the Mojave.

I have been anticipating these

plans for a few weeks now.

And for our next meeting, we'll

have an outline identifying

your potential profit, risks, and

facts underlining your investment.

Now, that was different.

To say the least.

You have your work

cut out for you now.

So, we all set for tonight?

The decorations are up.

The caterers start serving at 8:00.

Everyone knows to be

at your house by 7:00

or die by the hands

of Meghan Doherty.

And Valentina knows nothing?

She thinks we're doing sushi.

I hear you're trying to close on the

Yakamoto brothers' casino thing, Randolph.

You think so, Al?

Well, we'll see about that.

You know, you've been trying to

squeeze our company for years now,

(and) it's not going to work.

We're not giving in.

I can't wait to show off

my new outfit tonight.

Like always.

Are you implying

that I'm self-centered?

Mmm, that's right.

The same self-centered friend

who stuck my neck out

to get you a job at the firm.

How quickly we forget!

[Al] Just remember one thing,

Randolph.

I am in first position on

Eden Graham's Mojave land,

and I will foreclose on Saturday,

and when I do, well, the Yakamotos

will be knocking on my door.

Oh, it's the office.

Hold on. will you?

Hello?

Meghan, I need you here tonight.

Tonight?

It's Valentina's party.

Sir, all right.

I'll be there by 6:00 pm, sir.

I'll have time to stop

by Jason's at Beverly Hills

before I meet with Whitaker.

I wanna get Valentina

something special.

So, what's new at the firm?

I closed a big one today.

You did? Congratulations!

How's your car dealership going?

Dealership is great.

That's gorgeous!

I have to get a

gift for my friend.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Any interesting opportunities

you can throw my way?

Yeah. One of my clients is thinking of

opening a chain of automatic car washes.

Mmm, that sounds interesting.

I know I did real well investing in the last

exotic car business you got me turned on to.

So how much?

For you, 8000.

That's retail.

What's my price?

Okay, I'll do 7500.

Okay. 7000.

But that's it.

Deal.

Uh, how much for that one?

That one, normally it's 2000, but...

for you, 1500.

Could you box that also?

Sure.

So how's the Ferrari?

Fast.

You know, that's the only car

I don't have in my dealership,

so if you ever wanna get that thing

off your hands, let me know.
