All language subtitles for Playback (1996)

Oh, good morning. Could
you get me a towel, please?

Please? Thank you.

Um, David.

Yeah, what is it?

Do you want me to cook you some breakfast?

No, sorry, I got no
time. I gotta run. Thanks.

Thanks, Dan. Toast.

To the slightly down close for an
overall negative indicator for the morning.

High-tech analysts are watching
as the communications sector

gets a bit of a shake-up
following new deregulatory rulings.

The big players are holding steady and
seem to be waiting it out as the smaller

interest rates slightly up with the
high-playing trading of the second quarter.

However, they expect that it is only a
matter of time before the big nine get

into the game, and potential for
some very exciting growth in that sector.

Domestic commodities are still moving slowly
following last quarter's disappointing

drop showing, and more bad weather
could be on the horizon for the week.

Analysts say the flood cycle
has fallen behind the country

during the preemptive early
harvest, and could mean lower yields.

Is disinformation.

It's a mess of data.

You would expect to see a
bit of a relief in share price.

Gentlemen, as you know, Vetrocon

controls about 20% of the world market

in communications satellites.

A merger, as we are
recommending with satellite systems,

could result in a combined share of 35%.

Now, that is enough to
dominate the marketplace.

If Wall Street reacts the way we believe,

your stake in the combined
Vetrocom and satellite system

will be worth double
within the next two years.

Do we have secrets here, gentlemen?

I'm advising my client, Ms. Stone.

We want to understand your figures.

I hope you don't have a problem with that.

Of course not.

Gentlemen, I understand your concern.

I want you to feel at
ease with the numbers.

So why don't we turn to
page five of the booklet?

Good work.

We're lucky to have
such a level-headed team

at the helm of this deal.

Thank you.

Where'd you go to school, David?

Let me guess, you're a Harvard man.

No, I went to the, uh...

Actually, I'm the Ivy Leaguer here.

Yale, summa cum laude.

University of Iowa.

Admirable.

There's a lot to be said for
our system of public education.

I'm a University of Colorado man myself.

Well, the Buffaloes, a great football team.

Well, see you gentlemen later, then?

You'll see David, but you won't see me.

You have a great night tonight, huh?

Thank you.

Tonight?

What's going on tonight?

Miss Stone, I don't think
a lady would enjoy it.

David, walk with me.

You know, I'm very proud
of the way you handled

yourself in there today.

Well, thank you.

I learned from the best.

Thank you for pinch hitting for me tonight.

I'm kind of old-fashioned
about those things.

Your wife, Omaya, will she?

Oh, no, there's no problem at all.

You know, David, there's
going to come a time when I hand

over the reins of this company.

I see you driving the wagons.

Well, I appreciate that, sir.

I won't let you down.

Let's have some lunch.

All right.

Alright, sure, how did this all start?

Oh, see the first few years were the best,

but then it all started.

The fishing trips, the card
games with his friends.

Always something to do with work.

Staying out all night, coming home late.

Always too tired to take care of business.

What you talking about?

Sounds like all he was doing
was taking care of business.

Uh-uh, I'm talking about my business.

Y'all know, okay?

Okay, okay, I think
we're all clear on that.

Uh, now...

David, sports bar this weekend?

49ers, Cowboys.

Uh, no can do, there's too
much going on right now.

Alright, I'll call Louisa.

She loves sports, she's, uh, very athletic.

Louisa?

I thought her name was Francesca.

Old news, man.

That was two weeks ago.

Hey, hey, DB. Real slam dunk this morning.

Yeah.

So...

How did I do?

Well, you were great.

But Gil wanted me to
mention something to you.

I know. I got the feeling Gil
wasn't too impressed with me.

You're right. It's not Gil's
style to pay compliments.

Yeah, no shit.

I mean, what is the big deal?

Going to a strip club
with a couple of guys?

Well, you know Gil.
He's a little old-fashioned.

He is a hypocrite.

I've seen the way he looks at women.

Mr. Burgess, your wife's on the phone.

Thank you.

Sarah!

Working hard?

Yes, I'll be entertaining
some clients tonight.

You know, the usual. Drinks, dinner.

And tits?

Who was that?

Nobody.

Are you gonna be okay by yourself tonight?

Um...

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Thanks for understanding, honey.

Bye.

So, Cheryl, how did
you resolve this problem?

I got a reward.

Ooh, that doesn't sound too good.

Farrah, what's going on?

I don't know.

Nothing, I guess.

Oh, nothing always means something.

You and David are doing okay, right?

Look, I don't want to make
any accusations, but I...

You don't think David's having an affair?

I read an article about this,

and they give you a little test to take.

You ready?

Forget it.

Too late. Let's get
this over with right now.

I have the five top ways

unfaithful husbands cover their tracks.

If you answer yes to most of them,

then I'd be worried. Ready?

No.

Yes.

I... Oh, this is silly.

No, it's not.

Number two,

he wants to have sex with you more often.

No.

He hangs out with his
buddies more than usual.

No, he's always at work.

That's a no.

Number four,

he comes home smelling like soap.

What?

Perfume is a dead giveaway.

If he comes home
zestfully clean, he's doing it.

No.

Well, that's one yes and four no's.

I'd say David flunked the infidelity test.

Mary, I am not worried

about what David's doing
when he's not with me.

It's what he's doing when he's with me.

What's that?

Nothing.

Let me give you some advice, David.

All women have something to hide.

Okay.

Almost all women.

You're not still upset
about this morning, are you?

I mean, come on, I already told you.

Carastone is definitely a team player.

Oh, yeah.

She's playing for one team, hers.

Hey, guys, stop mixing your
business with our pleasure.

Yeah, let's have another drink.

Just tell me, what do
you have against this girl?

I'll tell you what.

You see, when I do the math,

Yale and white trash doesn't add up.

Hello, gorgeous. Mind if I sit down?

Thank you.

Never seen you here
before. I'm out of town.

Suck my dick.

Why, you smart-mouthed lit...

Pardon me. I'm Ernie Fontenot,
um, Special Deputy Sheriff.

And private investigator. I
have a meeting with this lady.

If you'll excuse us.

Kathy, can I have a shot of Jack?

So you haven't lost your touch?

Some men need to be told who's in control.

Same old Karen.

A little bolder.

And a whole lot smarter.

This one's worth a
promotion to maybe senior VP.

With the kind of profit sharing and
stock options, that'll make me SFL.

SFL?

Set for life.

Well, in that case, maybe...

You should think about sharing
some of your future salary with me.

Since it was me that bestowed
your Ivy League diploma on you.

You've been well paid for
creating my extraordinary past.

Whatever it takes, hon.

When this deal goes through,

whosoever in the driver's seat at
the finish line gets the promotion.

And right now I'm riding shotgun.

This looks like a pretty smart guy.

Not smart enough.

Breakfast?

Toast.

Yeah, Burgess.

Well, I'm looking at those
stock reports right now.

There's no movement on
Vetro or satellite systems.

How was last night?

Well, I would like to keep the press at bay

for as long as we can.

We've already got a fixed price of Vetro,

and I do not need Wall Street
announcing this prematurely.

Well, it would give
satellite systems leverage,

which is exactly what we don't need.

I went shopping with Mary last night.

I would like to keep
them right where they are.

Do you understand?

That means no leaks.

Hold on, I got another call.

I maxed out the credit cards.

Hello?

Brian, Klein has just assured me that we're

secure on the East Coast.

I smashed the BMW.

We're being sued.

That's great news.

So have someone on the floor keep

me in the loop at all times.

Right.

I mean, whatever it takes.

Later.

Hello, Klein. You still there?

I'm having an affair with a mailman.

That's a good idea.

Maybe we can play this
off long enough to favor us.

I'm having his love child.

All right, why don't you
come to the office later?

Yeah, bye.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Hold that thought.

Yeah, I was just.

He'll call you right back.

What are you doing?

I am trying to get your attention.

OK.

You've got it.

Damn it, Sarah, I am
in the middle of a merger

that could change our lives.

The promotion that I've
been after for two years

is hanging in the balance.

Well, so are we.

Look, David, I know how
important your job is to you.

It's important to us.

But in the last month,
we've hardly said, what,

three words to each other.

And when we do, it's always about your job.

You don't think this is like a.

No, no.

I. But what do I have to do?

Do I have to dance
on a table in a nightclub

to get some attention from you?

I'm sorry.

I've just...

I promise that we
will deal with this later.

It's just that I gotta go.

I'm late.

I love you.

David.

Marriage problems?

What's going on, David?

I guess with the Spectrocon
deal and time spent at work,

just things aren't too hot at home.

Do you know what I mean?

Can I ask you something personal?

When was the last time
you did it with your wife?

You see?

That's your problem.

You can't remember.

I bet your wife remembers.

I bet if I asked her the same question,

she could answer me like that.

Oh, I know she could.

Look, all I can say is work on it.

You ought to try something different.

Surprise her.

You get into a routine, they get bored.

And when they get
bored, they start to roam.

Before you know it, she's
going to be surprising you

with a divorce lawyer
knocking at your door.

Surprise her?

Yeah, a nice candlelight,
romantic dinner, roses.

Roses?

What are you, a fucking florist?

Nah, man.

I'm talking surprise her in bed.

Experiment.

Look, if it surprises you, it sure

as hell is going to surprise her.

Whatever turns you on,
share it with your wife.

Listen, David's a good man.

Look at the upside. He works
hard and he's successful.

Unfortunately, most successful
men only focus on being successful.

Oh, thanks. I just wish that he would
focus, you know, more in the bedroom.

You wanna have kids?

Mm. No, David and I have already
decided we're gonna wait a few years.

What I meant, um, was...

Sex.

Yeah. Look at this. Look at this.

Look at the women in here, huh?

I mean, how am I supposed
to compete with this?

You know, I mean...

Oh, what is the answer?

Talk dirty to me.

Excuse me?

Here's the answer.

Those glam rigs are
great for looking at clothes,

but if you want some real tips, move to
the other side of the magazine rack, honey.

Look at this.

Here's some down-and-dirty talk tips.

Have you tried this?

I just bought it today.

That's a good one.

Oh, yeah? You've seen that one, huh?

I've seen them all. First time.

No. No. No.

So what are you looking for?

Uh, actually, me and my friends
were looking for something...

for a bachelor party.

Right.

Share your fantasies.

What if you've always wanted him
to paint your nipples with lipstick?

Oh, Harry and I haven't
tried that one. Keep reading.

Uh, you mind if I ask you some questions?

Oh, sure, sure. Fire away.

Do you, uh, prefer traditional or S&M?

Well, I'm traditional.

Non-stop pleasure.

Do you have difficulty reaching orgasm?

Yes.

Yes or tit man?

Uh, neither one really matters to me.

This incredible wonder duplicates
oral sex with absolute perfection...

by providing constant motion
and tireless, yes, rhythm.

Do you favor, uh, fellatio, manual
or, uh, zzzzt, a little electronic?

Why don't you just pick me out one, please?

4C batteries not included.

This is the most ridiculous
thing I've ever seen.

Well, you're telling me.

How much is that?

Here you go.

Bodacious brunettes?

It's got a five-dick rating.

Ring it up, please. Thanks.

You cannot go wrong.

Okay, just wrap it up.

You look great.

They look really good.

Oh, you smell great.

What's in the bag?

Just a little surprise.

I love surprises.

I find them so exciting.

How about you?

It was a humid July of the year 2031.

I was in Bangkok.

A beautiful woman of the world.

Corporate.

Obedient.

Alone.

What's going on?

This is your surprise

It's quite a surprise

Listen if you don't
like it, I'll turn it off.

Oh, uh...

No, I...

I'm going to tell my reality

from the deepest...

Yeah?

I mean if you... really...

I hear your call

I really want to keep watching it

I see one more time

Like the cobra that seduces its lover

My desires are poisoned

But it's okay with me

Yeah

Entombed in secret, my
love lived within the active

marketplace that
flourished in this exotic land.

Like a secret ritual, my love
was kept hidden from the world.

I can't believe it.

I have become possessed, living
every sensation of my mind's memory,

searching for an identity to my desires.

I have moved beyond passion to
the obsession that frees my soul.

My lover Beck is to me,
and I am with him once again.

He is everything you want him to be.

Your dreams.

Your desires.

He lives within your mind.

Ah, gotcha, David Bridges.

Very fond though.

You got anything for me yet?

Uh, one step at a time.

Time is money.

I'll get back to you later.

Okay?

Oh, boy.

Hi.

Sarah, what are you doing here?

I don't know. I thought maybe
my husband could take me to lunch.

Oh, no, no. I don't
think that's a good idea.

I have 12 reports here and all these
last-minute details for the corporate mixer

that's between Vetrocon and
satellite systems tomorrow night.

Right. And I thought maybe
you could get me a new outfit.

Well, um...

You know, something to
impress the clients with.

Okay. Okay, you win.

You are so easy.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all. You know my, um...

Wife?

Yeah.

Yes, we've met.

Listen, we were just about to go, um...

Have lunch.

Yes. Um, could you...

I can't seem to find my secretary.

Could you have your secretary retype
these reports as quickly as possible

and give them to Gil ASAP?

No problem.

Thanks.

Well, come on. Go ahead.

Bye.

Have a nice lunch.

Is that David leaving?

He said he had to go to lunch right away.

Is that his wife with him?

Yes, it was.

She's attractive.

What about my reports?

I'm taking care of them.

They'll be on your desk in ten minutes.

Great.

You know, David has
really done a wonderful job.

So articulate...

Oh, please.

And detailed.

I've always appreciated a good detail man.

He doesn't let a thing get past him.

Don't tell me all that.

And on top of that, he's real.

He's got lots of personality, good natured,

and we think the world of him.

You know what? So do I.

Gentlemen, it's time to stop
talking and start dancing.

May I have this dance?

Of course. Excuse us.

Thank you for saving me.

Saving you? You mean the subject of mergers
and acquisitions doesn't appeal to you?

Well, me either.

I hope you don't mind
me saying this, but, uh...

Well, your wife is
looking pretty sexy tonight.

She's even melting some
of the ice in Gil's veins.

Come on, David. I've seen
your fancy footwork in the office.

How about showing me a little armadillo?

You know, I just can't imagine...

how David has the willpower
to leave you in the morning.

If you were my wife,
I'd never get out of bed.

Well, Gil, you are the
reason he gets out of bed.

What? I'm sorry. Did I miss a step?

No, I was just thinking,
David's a very lucky man.

Oh, I'm the lucky one.

Do you know how long it's been...

since I've held a beautiful
woman in my arms?

Intoxicated by her perfume...

caught in the twinkle of her eyes...

and seduced by her sensuous smile?

How am I doing? A little
corny, but very flattering.

Well, it used to work. I'm sure it did.

Must be nice.

What?

To have somebody who loves you.

That's the way it's supposed to be, right?

I'm sorry.

Your wife doesn't know how good she has it.

Excuse me, but I think I
owe my husband a dance.

Hello, darling.

Well, you and Gil seem to
be hitting it off rather well.

Yeah, well, I got a job.

You what?

He asked me to redesign his office.

Oh, I see. You dance with
the boss and you get a job.

Well, excuse me, but I do know my business.

Well, of course you do.

You know, actually,
he's a very charming man.

You think so?

Well, I do believe you're jealous.

So what if I am?

I adore you.

Oh, that's very good.

Yes!

Must be a costume party tonight, huh?

No, convention.

Oh, you guys were the entertainment.

No, we were networking.

And what network is that?

We turn no one away.

We accept singles and couples.

We accept all races, creeds and colors.

We accept all forms of sexual orientation.

And we accept all major credit cards.

See you soon.

Nice motivational speaker at the office.

Hello, Mrs. Smith. Do you
have any good news for me yet?

Did you get all that
merger data I sent you?

Yeah, it was useless.

It's nothing I haven't heard before.
You got anything else for me?

Nothing we haven't been over. Background,
credit history, bank statements.

The guy's clean. Not even the late payment.

Antiseptic sucker.

What about the phones?

Nothing yet.

I'm telling you, when it comes to
business, this guy is a straight arrow.

Listen, Ernie, maybe it wasn't
clear enough when I hired you.

I'm paying you to find
something on this choir

boy, and God damn it, I
want you to find something!

Wait a minute. I have found something.

But it's more of a personal nature.

What do you mean?

Well, I found out your guy's
a real video commissure.

Videos?

What are you talking about?

Fuck films. Hardcore.

Nearly a dozen in the last two weeks.

Interesting.

Uh-huh. May lead to something.

May not. What do you want me to do?

I want you to find me some
dirt under his fingernails, Ernie.

And if I don't?

Then I want you to put some there.

Alright, now keep in mind
this is a work in progress.

I thought I said to hold all calls.

Oh, sorry, big boy.

I didn't get that message.

Sarah, is this you?

I am so hot, David.

How about we pretend we're in a video?

A sexy video.

Can you guess what's gonna happen next?

Oh, I can't wait to kiss your neck.

Down your chest.

Oh, yeah.

She should charge him by the minute.

Tonight, don't go home, honey.

Go to 51 Hermes Street.

8 o'clock and don't be late.

Bye-bye.

Hi, my name is...

No need for any names here, sir.

Your partner's waiting for you, room 17.

Charles, will you kindly show
our guest the way to Paradise?

So we call room 17 the Paradise Room.

Welcome to your fantasy.

Now, I want you to do something for me.

Take off your shoes.

Take off your coat and tie.

I love your shirt.

Turn around and look at me.

Oh my God.

Hi.

Is he in?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Burgess.

He's out of the office.

Ah, well, that's OK.

I have a meeting with Gil anyway.

Can you make sure that
my husband gets that?

Thank you.

Mr. Brom and Mrs. Burgess is here.

I'm so glad you could come, sister.

Hi. Thank you.

It's nice to see you.

I am so anxious to get started.

Good.

That is a great suit.

Well, I'm wearing it in honor of you.

Oh, my. Thank you.

So what shall we do with
this eclectic mess I inherited?

New English?

A panel?

Actually, I have some
renderings that I'd like you to see.

Uh, what do you think?

Perfect.

I left something in his office.

If this merger goes through, David
could be in this office and I could be out.

Well, but you can do anything you want.

I mean, you have a luxury
that only a few of us can afford,

living in the moment.

Well, I'll have all the
privilege, none of the power.

Corporate jet, board meetings,
golf for excitement, but no control.

What do you mean?

When you get to the winner's
circle, you realize the fun's in the race.

Any calls?

I'll see your wife ducked off an envelope.

I'll put it on your desk.

Thank you.

Incidentally, she's with Gil right now.

You can let some light in.

And then a gorgeous antique armoire.

You could put beautiful
family photos on it.

Sarah.

Hi, darling.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

We were just finishing up.

Uh...

Shh.

Hold all my calls.

Hey, listen to this.

I saw David Burgess's wife
going into Gil's office this morning.

And she was looking real fine, man.

I'll bet old Gil got her up on the
desk for a little corporate merger.

Come on, man. Old limp dick
couldn't get it up on a forklift.

That prick is finished.

What do you mean?

David's taken over. Gil's out.

No shit.

He better start practicing his golf swing.

Chandler? Miller?

Mr. Payment, uh, afternoon.

Would you mind passing
old limp dick a towel, please?

Shit.

Are you in?

I'll be right there.

We have a problem.

I can explain that.

You know Miller and Media Services?

Yes.

Gil has suspended
him without pay for the

next few days, right
before our presentation.

What for?

I can't get a straight answer out of him.

You okay?

Now, this is the Vetrocon tape that
Gil has requested with the revisions.

I do not know who's going
to be up in audiovisual,

but this thing is too important to hand
over to some temporary replacement.

You wouldn't mind helping
me out with this, would you?

Certainly.

I'm really glad that
you're helping me with this.

So am I, David.

You and I are going to be
a powerful force together.

David...

Wait.

This is... this is...

Wow.

This is very dangerous.

I'm married.

I'm sorry.

This could...

lead to nothing but trouble.

You are so right.

So, what happened?

Nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?
Didn't the boss see the tape?

Yes. And what does he do?

He sends that prick off to
brown-nose the clients on their own turf,

while I'm sitting here wondering,

is he really that lucky,
or am I really that stupid?

Bad karma.

Bad karma, my ass.

To sum things up, we're just
not looking in the right place.

No, it's not place.

It's person.

You are a naughty boy, Ernie.

Gil, what a surprise.

Um, David's not home.

Yes, I know.

I had to send him to San Jose.

I was in the area, and I had some ideas

on a collaboration.

Come on in.

Voila.

It's wonderful what
you've done with this place.

Thank you.

It's our home.

I use it as a showpiece for my clients.

I'm actually really proud of it.

Well, you should be.

You know, most women today
are concerned with everything

outside of their home.

Well, it is such a pleasure, my work,

that I just sometimes
feel like it's cheating.

Would you like something to drink?

Bourbon, if you got it.

We have that.

As a matter of fact, David's parents

gave us a bottle of private label.

Private stock, numbered.

Looks pretty good.

Maybe you better join me.

Well, OK.

A short one.

I'm gonna go get the designs.

That's not necessary.

Well, what should we toast to?

A new you.

How about living in the moment
and loss of control, remember?

Oh, this is strong, but it's...

it's soft, comforting,
whatever the word is.

Smooth?

Smooth.

Age has its benefits.

I don't think this is a good idea.

I... you really should be going.

But...

Just leave. Please, Gil.

Gil, please don't.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I've had the chills all day.

Do you want me to get you something?

Just hold me.

David, I am so, so sorry.

You were out of town and
I thought it was important.

It's a prank, right?

Think, David. Think of
what you're about to do.

What do you care what I
do, that hypocritical asshole?

Because you are better than that.

I know you. I know you
better than you think.

So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

Nothing. Pretend like nothing
happened. Deal with it later.

That's bullshit. I'm
gonna deal with it now.

I am trying to protect your future.

I am not gonna go down with you
because your wife banged our boss.

What are you saying?

I saw those pictures.

And like it or not, it
happened in your house,

when you were conveniently out of town.

She let him in.

Gil is not the type to kick down any doors.

I'm not gonna let him get away with this.

David, he has power and he has money.

You're right. So what do I have?

Knowledge. And you have me.

Remember, we are a team.

And when the time is right,
we will bring him down together.

How am I supposed to tell him that
mean talk? I can't even look at that face.

I will deal with Gil.

Cover for you.

All right.

Dill, it's Karen.

Yeah, I hate to interrupt you, but, uh,

I think we have a problem.

Pictures, Sarah, of you and Gil.

He forced himself on me.

You expect me to believe that Gil

Brandon forced himself on you, huh?

What did you say about him at the dance?

Charming, didn't you?

He said he'd ruin you.

Bullshit!

That's bullshit!

It's the new you, isn't it?

The new kinky you.

Experimenting a little more!

No!

I, we, I told you the absolute truth.

I didn't do anything.

I must have been out of my
mind to bring home those videos.

It was you who took
me to that, that sex club.

You brought me there.

Our very own fantasy.

Well, it's a joke, isn't it, Sarah?

It's a big, fat, sick joke.

Isn't it?

What?

Just go.

Just go.

I didn't know where else to go.

I just want to know one thing.

Where'd they come from?

What?

The photos.

Who took them?

Who sent them?

I don't know.

They were sent anonymously.

I mean, who sent them? Why?

I don't know.

Be realistic.

This is a billion dollar deal.

You don't think we're
being spied on by every Wall

Street watchdog?

Don't be so naive.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't mean that.

That was insensitive of me.

Lie down.

God, that feels good.

We're scheduled to go online
with the video tomorrow afternoon.

That should give us plenty of lead time.

We can do a final spot check at
AVFO 48 hours before the final showing.

Also, I took the time to
beef up the prospectus,

readjusting the figures to show a
higher market share post-merger.

I felt the figures were much
too conservative before.

Why play it safe now?

They know the score. I'd like
them to know that we do, too.

Well, I like your initiative, Miss Stone.

You're aggressive, but
you're playing it safe.

My style.

David, what do you think? You agree?

Sure. 100%.

Mr. Burgess, your wife's on
the phone. She says it's urgent.

Take a message.

It's the first lunch date I've ever been
on where the waiters did all the talking.

Sorry.

Listen, you handled
yourself beautifully today.

I admired your sense of self-control.

I surprised even myself.

I've got another surprise for you.

We leave for Maui Friday evening,

right after the deal goes through
and the papers are signed.

It'll be paradise.

I don't know. Um...

It's a little soon, don't you think?

I mean, everything's
just happening so fast. I...

I just need some time.

Some quiet time just to think about things.

Don't worry. You'll have
plenty of quiet time down there.

But when the sun sets...

I'll be there to comfort you.

Will you excuse me?

It's him, all right, and he's not
even being discreet about it.

What does she look like?

I'd fuck her.

What's this?

I can't do this. This is no good.

You can't or you won't?

I can't.

Because I won't, all right?

No, it's not all right.

Well, try and understand.

It's her, isn't it?

Isn't it?

I can't believe this.
This is a joke, right?

Listen.

We've had a lot of years together.

And that can't be dismissed
in just a matter of days.

I can't wake up one day and pretend
that I didn't have a life with Sarah.

Because I did.

You're pathetic.

Karen...

After all I've done for
you, this is the thanks I get?

You better make up your mind, mister.

This ship sails in the morning,
and if you're not on it, God help you.

Now get out.

You're on the sofa tonight.

I mean it. Get out.

This girl has got the third most
perfect ass I've ever seen in my life.

She's a client.

Well, her husband's been
fucking around on her,

and now she's fucking around on him...

with me.

Tonight, anyway.

I'm gonna go. I'll call you back.

Yeah?

You Ernie Fontenot?

Yeah.

You son of a bitch.

It's, uh...

pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Williams.

Would you like to sit down?

Exactly what was it you
wanted to talk to me about?

You took those pictures.

You took those pictures of my wife.

You destroyed my marriage.

You destroyed my life.

I was a happily married man.

Is that so?

Hey, man, take a look around.

These files are filled
with happily married men.

People like you make me sick.

What's so funny?

You are.

You're what's so funny.

Come marching in here with
some self-righteous bullshit

about the way I run my business,

you corporate fuckers with
your takeovers and mergers,

wiping out thousands of
families at the stroke of a pen.

I'm a gun or a camera for hire.

Anybody wants information,

for the right amount of
money, I can get it for them.

It's that simple.

And by the way, how did you find out

that I'm the one that took the photos?

Okay, you're hired.

I am?

I want some information.

About?

My boss and my wife.

You saw the photos.

I didn't ask you that.

How much?

Five thousand?

Yeah.

She didn't do it.

Hey!

Grinchin!

Hey, you can't go in there!

He's expecting me!

David it's come to my attention
that some of your recent actions

are jeopardizing the success
of this deal does that include?

You lost your mind

Gil Gil are you all right?

Are you okay?

Don't bother cleaning
out your desk you lunatic

you're fired. You're lucky.
I don't have you arrested

You're finished

Excuse me, Mr. Bromman. There's a
call for you from a woman on line one.

Who is it?

She wouldn't say.

Sir.

I'll take it.

Gil Bromman.

Hello, Gil. It's me.

Who is this?

It's Sarah.

Can't talk to you.

No, no, no. Please, don't hang up.

I...

I want to see you again.

Really?

David thinks that I made love to you.

I'm divorcing him.

What?

I wish we would have done it.

What do you want from me?

How do I put this delicately?

David's lost his job.

And I thought maybe you and I could
come to some kind of arrangement.

What sort of an arrangement?

Let's say it'll be mutually beneficial.

You'll get what you want.

And I'll get what I need.

Fine.

I want to see you as soon as possible.

Well, I'm...

Take down this address.

So, you finished pulling out all the
knives that bitch stuck in your back?

Don't worry. I'm not here to twist a man.

Everything we need is here.

Reports, memos, prospectus,
everything we need to pull this off.

But I can't do it alone. I
need you to back me up.

So, are you in?

I'll see what I can do.

You won't be disappointed.

What is this place anyway?

They call it paradise.

Discreet?

Completely.

Don't be shy.

Come here.

Turn around.

Lay down on the bed.

Give me your hands.

This is only the beginning,
Gil. Only the beginning.

It's about opportunity.

It's about an opportunity that
might not come along again.

You take a look at the figures.

Take a look at them now.

Look at them.

David has put these figures together.

And I'm telling you, it
is unlike anything we've

seen in the industry before.

It has to do with putting together

of a company and people
and ideas like we've never seen.

And it's his baby.

He's done it.

And I think you can enjoy what you see.

Dave, what the hell happened?

I heard you decked the old man.

Christ, I would have
loved to have seen that.

I'll tell you about it some other time.

Thanks for coming.

You got it.

What's going on?

How would you like a new job?

Gentlemen, I believe we're ready to begin.

If you'll take your seats.

Hi, fellas. How are you today?

I'm so glad you could make it.

Sit down.

There's water and coffee
or anything you want.

Please ask my secretary.

What you're about to see is going

to convince you and your stockholders

that this merger is the wisest
decision you'll ever make.

Now, this presentation
will explain in detail,

along with that prospectus in front of you,

exactly how this merger is to take place,

resulting in a global
communication giant larger

than the six largest competitors combined.

Yeah.

Now, I know some of you
are surprised about Dave's

Now, I know some of you
are surprised about David

Burgess's departure, but
let me just put that to rest.

I have the utmost faith in Karen Stone,

our new senior vice president.

She's not too bad to
look at either, is she?

Hope she doesn't consider that harassment.

Thank you, Gil.

Thank you, gentlemen.

And now, without further
ado, let's roll the tape.

Here at Bremen Brothers,
we are aggressively

moving forward
into the 21st century,

exploring new frontiers,
probing the vastness of space.

In the largest communications merger
of its kind, we will bring together...

oh this is terrible

excuse me i'm busy come back later

open this door you little shit
harder spank them baby spank them

oh yes this is great stuff i love this

Gil, I don't know where he got that tape,

but I promise you one thing.

That mistake will never happen again.

Melissa, would you be kind enough

to cancel my golf lesson?

It's going to be business as usual.

I can save this deal, Gil.

I know I can.

Save your breath, Miss Stone.

You're fired.

David, did you see today's financial?

You made the front page, my man.

Save it for me.

Well, wherever you are, I
hope that you're celebrating.

I gotta go, pal.

I've got my eye on a partnership
that's gonna last a lifetime.
