The Lion of the Moguls Page #2

Yeah, Wallys here. Sure. I'll get him.

Wally?

Guy with no money in basketballs.

- Hi, what can I do for you?

- Oh, yeah, I, um...

I, uh, want to buy this ball.

I have the money.

Absolutely. Terrific.

No, no. Uh...

I may be a little

short on my credit card.

Can we squeeze as much as we can on it,

and then maybe I could

let you hold something

until I come back, uh,

you know, with the rest?

I... I need to have the ball right now.

- No.

- No?

Excuse me. Wally?

You may be being fresh.

All right. Well, lets,

um... Lets try this.

I, uh, may have some room

on this other credit card.

- You know...

- You know what?

L... I might have some, uh...

This ball here is 39.99.

This is a very good ball.

He's going to ask you about tax now.

This isnt the official ball.

Absolutely correct.

But thats not the only special ball.

This ball, too, is special.

Now, if you were to describe that ball,

state its special significance,

you might say that that

ball is used in the pros,

whereas this balls

special significance,

stated, is that you may

be able to afford it.

What kind of businessman

are you? Come on. Uh...

Give me a break. Build

some customer relations.

You think I'm really

looking for the customer

whos a bust-out by dollar 80?

I could have friends.

A guy who doesnt have 80 bucks

doesnt have rich friends.

But I bet you have some

lovely 39.99 friends.

Youre going to gift

wrap this for me, right?

Why, certainly, sir.

Yeah, I'd sure hate to

lose you as a customer.

Take it easy.

I knew this guy was rich.

Ah, I didn't know he

was this goddamn rich.

As you might've guessed,

I had no trouble getting the house

in the divorce settlement.

I've met the guy before a couple times.

He's very nice.

Hello, Andy.

Welcome. Welcome. Please, come in.

Nice place. Big.

Thank you.

Um, so we had a really nice trip.

I think Billy enjoyed it.

At least I hope he did.

He'll be right down.

Or you can go up. How you been?

Oh, uh, I'm good.

Hello, Andy.

Oh, hey, Thel.

How are you?

Good. You look good.

Thank you.

Hows everything?

Oh, everything...

- Are you working? ... is fine.

Some place, huh?

- Billy must love it.

- Yeah.

- Hey, Dad!

- Hey, birthday boy!

Hey.

Hey.

- Some place you got here.

- Yeah. You wanna see it?

I can show you around.

You gotta see my room.

Yeah. Yeah.

Go ahead. Go ahead. See you guys later.

Hey, get your dad something to drink.

Nice guy. Howard.

Yeah, I really like him.

I mean, He's not as great as you,

but if you and mom had to split up...

Hey, hey. I want you to like him.

Dont worry about that.

Hey, I got you something.

Oh, great. You didnt have to do that.

Yeah, right, Dopey.
