Waffle Street

Synopsis: Waffle Street's riches-to-rags tale is an adaptation of James Adams' 2010 memoir of the same name (published by Sourced Media Books), which chronicles the financier's foray into the food industry. After being laid off at the hedge fund where he worked, and further jaded by his culpability in the crisis, Adams chose to work at a popular 24-hour diner where he claims "most of his financial knowledge has been gleaned." Offering a fresh take on the fallout of corporate greed, Adams' is a tale of the redemption and unlikely friendship found under the tutelage of Glover's character Edward, the best short-order cook in town.

That company mantra
was the only thing
fending off this latest
bout of moral crisis.
You see, I just sold this guy
and his two financial gurus
on investing $200 million
in our mortgage fund.
He will lose almost everything.
My firm will make $26 million.
And it's totally legal.
Therefore, it is not unethical.
At a young age, it occurred
to me that I was different.
You see, it's always been easier for me to
relate intellectually as opposed to emotionally.
While most children
were playing pretend,
I focused my efforts
on counting to 100.
For Halloween, I departed from the
traditional superhero or ghoul,
and instead dressed as seven-time
mathlete champion, Franklin Stubbs.
In high school, I divided my time
between "The Wall Street Journal"
and classic literature.
By 16, I had a life plan
mapped out to my 65th birthday.
After a freak
Segway-ing accident...
landed me
in the college infirmary,
I had my heart stolen by a sympathetic
coed working on her nursing degree.
Somehow, she found
my idiosyncrasies endearing.
Eight years
and two business degrees later,
I landed in finance.
We hate Wall Street!
We hate Wall Street!
Man:
To survive the
crash, I worked overtime.
Some nights, I slept there.
I had goals to reach.
I got the car, bought the house,
then worked my way up
to vice president.
After this deal,
they'd make me a partner.
Overnight, our firm
was gonna be worth three-fold.
To celebrate, the top brass
threw a party in my honor.
It didn't occur to them that I
neither drink nor enjoy bars,
but being the man of the hour, I
was forced to make an appearance
and enjoy
my 18-dollar virgin tonic.
Jim! Jim, my man!
How you doing?
You having a good time, huh?
I just wanna say
excellent work. Top notch.
- What we asked of you was not easy.
- Thank you.
You enjoy yourself
because you deserve it.
I... I am.
Unfortunately, it is about
time for me to head out.
- No!
- Becky leaves for work in 45 minutes,
and she'll be disappointed
if I don't see her off.
Listen, good for you.
Before you go, let's get a
picture with Phil and Hal.
Don't you move. Don't move.
Jim:
Today's mark was an
eccentric billionaire.
But I had spent
the last six years
talking people
out of their money,
banks, college endowments,
teachers' pension funds.
If there was a nickel to be had,
it was my job to get it.
When the guilt piled up,
I buried it with my ambition.
If I climbed high enough,
maybe I could outrun it.
- Jim, how are you?
- Good.
- Jim.
- Come on in.
Take a seat.
How is Becky?
