The Butterfly Effect 2 Page #5

-Yeah, a couple.

- Um...

What?

Hey, guys. Bristol just called

a staff meeting.

Conference room, five minutes.

Oh, God. What does

that prick want now?

l don't know, but he wants to see you

in his office beforehand.

What?

Oh. Oh, guys?

l think l can already

feel his foot up my ass.

All right, people,

let's get right to it.

You've all heard me warn you

about the problems

of the average start-up company.

Well, it seems that we've been on

the losing end this week.

l had five deals

fall through,

including R.S.B.

Financial.

That's...

That's Trevor's account.

He said it was a sure thing.

Well,

he was wrong.

And unfortunately,

Mr. Callahan felt

like he had to send

a message on this one.

We've had to let

Trevor go.

So l suggest that we all

get back to work, hmm?

Doesn't that seem

a little harsh?

Yes.

- So what actually happened?

- Excuse me?

Well, if Trevorthought

it was a sure thing,

why'd the deal fall apart?

Come on, Bristol.

You had Trevor's job once,

and you know

how hard it is.

Yeah, and l worked my ass off,

l didn't make mistakes

and l got rewarded.

Why? 'Cause

the Strike Line deal

fell on your lap?

You were supposed to close

the R.S.B. deal, not Trevor.

And you think you know

something we don't?

What l know

is Mr. Callahan pays me

to be the judge of you people,

and right now my judgment is telling me

that you'd much rather be

at home watching ''Oprah''

with yourfriend

than working

on this team any longer.

Congratulations, Nick.

You're fired too.

Anyone else?

l love you, man,

but this was not your problem.

F*** that.

lf it wasn't for us, Bristol wouldn't

have been promoted in the first place.

l'm not taking

orders from him.

Nick, you worked your ass

off at this place.

You put your blood

into this place, man.

Yeah, l put my blood into this place,

and Bristol's the one who gets promoted.

Nick, that's business.

You taught me that.

Now, look.

Go tell Bristol you're sorry.

Tell him you're still having

side effects from the accident.

Only side effect l'm having is knowing

life is way too short forthis.

What is this,

a guy thing?

Trevor gets canned, so you just jump off

the bridge with him?

Look, l was never gonna move up with

Bristol as my supervisor anyway.

Ever since the guy got promoted,

he's just been looking

for an excuse to fire me.

-Well, you didn't have to give him one.

-You know what? The truth is,

he's the weak link.

He's ruined the whole company,

and everybody knows it.

And you know what?

l am better off

just getting out from under him.

No, Nick.

You're better off with a job.

l told you,

l'll find another one.

A better one.
