Listen up.

I, Morris Brown III,

will hereby contribute to, sh*t-for-brains,

that's you,

the sum of $50,000, if

sh*t-for-brains here, runs around the office

with his pants off screaming,

"Morris is my daddy!"

What are you doing, man?

Nothing is worth your self respect.

That is so touching!

I swear, I just don't know what Mark sees in you.

If it were up to me, you'll be nothing more

than a guy picking a corner out of my big wet sh*t.

Big wet sh*t, got it.

Mr. Brown, Mark is on line 1.

Thank you.

Andy, dump it.

Stocks are getting a boost off of the Federal Reserve's

reduced cost of borrowing to 1%.

That's the move here. You have to go back,

what, to the 1940s to see money this cheap.

What's expected?

Rising house prices.

As a result of more consumer spending.

Investors really at the moment trying to grapple

the Fed's move here, trying to make sense of it.

One thing is for certain, though.

This is a major shift in monetary policy, for the US economy.

And way, way beyond that.

Let's have a look at the market,

and the reaction,

in a bit more detail.

Laurie, get Mark back on the line, will you?

Enjoy your meal.

Thanks.

1%? Who could have predicted that?

Not a damn person.

- Hey there!

- Hey!

What do you want, Mark?

I came to give you this.

But minus fees, of course.

- What is this?

- It's your earnings, for sticking it to Morris today.

Look...

I didn't get to be the man standing before you

without taking a few risks.

I took that bet that Morris laid out, and

I took a risk on you.

And now it's time for you to take a risk on yourself.

Save the dad talk for your daughter, OK?

You've ever been to Hong Kong?

You've even been out of the country, kiddo?

What?

You're giving me the silent treatment now?

I want you to go to Hong Kong,

and lead the Fei and Chang trade.

- That's Morris' trade.

- It's your trade now.

Oh, come on. Why me?

Why didn't you get one of your Princeton inbreeds, ...

Ah, don't pull the college card on me again.

You dropped out of MIT 'cause you felt like it.

You're extremely gifted.

You have the edge your father had.

He could bet against the street,

and be right about it.

You want to know the difference

between him and you?

- Save it.

- He was a winner.

Never made any excuses.

You think that just because you can predict

a few right outcomes that

that makes you a winner?

No.

You're not a winner

until you decide to be one.

Look, I'm not my father.

You wanna bet?

Go to Hong Kong.

Be the man that you were born to be.

Conner,

I'll only be gone for 6 weeks.

I'll call you when I get to Hong Kong.

One day, you'll understand.

Conner, it's your father, he...
