2. Dead Cat Bounce (第2季)【完整台词】

No.

Get your better half in here.

Anata-Tek rising market share in wearable computers.

I know it.

It's a hedge fund group grope, Krakow leading the party.

Yes.

Anata-Tek's IPO two years ago was lukewarm, but the stock is soaring ahead of the release of their flagship.

- It's called the Ring.

- I know about the Ring, Mafee.

It's a great prototype.

But can they scale up, can they ship product? Not if the microchips are supplied by a fake Chinese factory.

Booyakasha! Short two million.

Wake me up when the stock's down ten percent from the current levels.

That's where we want to cover.

[door opens] - This is gonna be fun.

- [door closes] Okay.

After they've completed the order, send a tweet from my account.

Say, "Who's supplying Anata-Tek? Next Lumber Liquidators," question mark.

From your account? That may be a little blatant.

Good.

I don't want to be subtle.

I want him to know it's me.

Dr.

Gus is on the premises.

Okay.

Start pushing everyone through, mandatory sessions.

[ "Top Shelf Drug" plays ] Are you a hard-ass, badass, jackass, or no ass? Sorry? And that is one of the three things that people say in that spot.

It's kind of like the "dick-for" thing.

If you apologize after I've said something confusing, that is on you, my friend.

If you say so.

What I say is, we used to live in a world that rewarded those who were very good at their jobs.

Do you know what you get now for being very good? You get keistered.

Do you want to get keistered, Ben? No.

I almost said "sorry" again because I barely understand what you're And we will work on that.

Replace "sorry" with, "What the fuck are you trying to say?" Yeah, I don't feel comfortable with that.

I'm not interested in your comfort.

Axe Capital is not interested in your comfort.

I am interested in you becoming a goddamn giant-killer.

Do you want to be a giant-killer, Ben? Sure.

What the fuck are you trying to say?! Yes.

I want to kill giants.

There ya go! There you go.

I thought we were gonna talk about the path from analyst to portfolio manager.

That is all we are talking about, and you are a long way from making the trek up that path.

Holy fuck, do you people need what I do.

Go! Tell Gayle to make an appointment for you to come and see me next week.

[beep] [elevator bell dings] [ dramatic music plays ] [office conversation stop] You are currently engaged in a legal action against Mr.

Rhoades.

Yes.

Do you harbor suspicions of additional misconduct that you opted not to include in your public filings? Suspicions? Sure.

I'm full of suspicions.

I'm suspicious of all-you-can-eat buffets.

Each and every 10-K I have to read.

I'm suspicious that the folks you work for the federal government occasionally fuck up.

Hey, you get me started, I'll admit I'm suspicious that not all prize fights are on the up and up, that Warren Buffett and Bill Gates may not really like each other as much as they claim.

I'm even suspicious that maybe you don't really need those glasses to see.

I do.

I think you see pretty clearly.

But those are all the suspicions that I'm prepared to share with you today in your professional capacity.

Were you aware that the U.

S.

attorney was pursuing charges against you in connection with a firearms disturbance by one of your employees? Yeah.

Mr.

Axelrod finds the question irrelevant.

Consider him aware now.

The same day the U.

S.

attorney ended the pursuit of said charges, his wife received a five million dollar payment from this company.

Highly irregular.

In your world.

Not in this one.

I don't think a judge or jury is likely to discount the linkage.

My client allowed you here as a courtesy.

No one at Axe Capital works under a contract.

Each are compensated at my client's sole discretion based on their value to the firm.

I think you misunderstand my intentions, Mr.

Bach.

The DoJ has authorized me to offer the whole menu.

We would be willing to give Mr.

Axelrod immunity from prosecution if he were to testify that the five million dollars was, in fact, a bribe of the U.

S.

attorney.

After all, uh, hedge funds will do what they do, but Mr.

Rhoades answers to a higher authority justice.

[scoffs] Cue the orchestra.

You'll hear from us.

[] Lay it out.

If you take the deal, claim it was a bribe, your reputation may take a hit, but it would be the end of Chuck Rhoades.

Because although I know it wasn't a bribe, the facts line up.

He would be disgraced.

Removed from office, indicted.

But Wendy Rhoades would be indicted, too.

Indonesian? Oh.

Oh, God, yeah.

You obviously heard my stomach's cries for help.

- Thank you.

- Mmm.

So how's it going? You coming up with anything for the big case? Nah, not yet.

Maybe we should pool our resources.

I have a few things.
