Other People's Money Page #3

Here comes the fun part.

- How many shares outstanding you got?

- Four million.

Divide 4 million into 100 million,

what do you get?

- Twenty-five.

- Good.

That means each share is worth $25.

But that was all foreplay.

Let's go for the real thing.

The stock was 10 when I woke up

three weeks ago.

That's a 10 for a $25 item.

What a sale.

Something worth $25,

I can buy it for 10.

The company's not for sale,

Mr. Garfield.

I don't want your company, Jorgy.

I just want what

every other stockholder wants:

- I wanna make money.

- You are making money, Mr. Garfield.

You bought the stock at 10.

It's now 14.

The stock is 14 because I'm buying it.

I'm doing my part. Now you do yours.

Get rid of this wire and cable division.

It's a financial cancer.

Would you excuse us, please?

I want to talk to Mr. Garfield alone.

What the hell do you think you're doing,

you little son of a b*tch?

You can't come into my town, my plant,

take my company.

- You can't do that.

- What, you been living on Mars, Jorgy?

It's called a corporate takeover.

I know what it's called,

and I'm not gonna let you do it.

It's simple. I do it all the time.

Well, do it someplace else.

I'm not gonna commit suicide.

Don't think of it as suicide.

Think of it as euthanasia.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out before I throw you out.

Where are you going?

We're just doing business.

Business? With you?

I got a company to run.

Yeah, well, that's my point.

I don't like the way my company's

being run!

And you better get your elevator fixed!

There's a goddamn fire raging here,

and this whole industry's up in flames!

And you call the fire department,

and who shows up? Nobody.

Because they're all in Japan

and Singapore and Malaysia...

...and Taiwan and every other shithole

where they're crazy about pollution.

And while that inferno is raging,

you're out in front...

...mowing the lawn, tidying up,

playing with your putz on my money!

- You'd think I was asking him for a loan.

- Good day, Mr. Garfield.

I'm not a long-term player.

They give us trouble today?

They're not gonna send us back

to the Bronx, Arthur.

Don't scare me there, Mr. G.

Richardson, I wanna buy up

New England Wire and Cable.

Buy everything you can.

File a goddamned 13D.

- I wanna finish this one quick.

- We're on it.

Well, it's official.

Our friend Garfield's intent

is to take over the company.

He's filed his 13D with the SEC.

He now owns 12 percent of us.

What do you wanna do?

I own 20 percent.

Jorgy, we've got to protect ourselves.

- We need legal advice.

- We have lawyers.

They're not equipped for this.

- We need the best.

- We want to call Kate.

Let me.
