Hi, Dr. Jacobs, this is Chris Marlin over at JT Marlin. DR. JACOBS Marlin? CHRIS Right. He's my father. Another broker connects a wire to a jack on the back of the phone and the conversation is now heard on the PA system. CHRIS (CONT'D) So my associate tells me you're interested in one of our stocks. DR. JACOBS Yes, MSC sounds like it might be interesting. CHRIS Might be? Might be doesn't sell stock at the rate MSC is going, Dr. Jacobs. We're talking about very high volume here. DR. JACOBS Well, I still have to run it by my people. CHRIS That's great, Doc. If you want to miss yet another opportunity here and go watch your colleagues get rich doing clinical trials, then don't buy a share and hang up the phone. DR. JACOBS Well hold on a second. I didn't say that. I just wanted to talk more about it. CHRIS Honestly Doc, I don't have the time. This stock is blowing up right now. The whole firm is going nuts. Let me open the door to my office. Chris holds the phone up to the 100 brokers standing there silently. They begin talking loudly and screaming "Buy, Sell". Chris makes a hand motion and they stop. CHRIS (CONT'D) You hear that? That's my trading floor, Doc. Now I have a million calls to make to other doctors who are already in the know. I can't walk you through this right now. I'm sorry. Huge pause. Everyone looks on waiting to hear what he'll do. Chris doesn't even look mildly concerned. Then... DR. JACOBS Okay, okay. Let's do this. CHRIS Now, since you're a new account I cannot go any higher than two thousand shares. I'd love to but I just can't do it. DR. JACOBS Two thousand?! Whoa! That's way more than I was thinking about. Two thousand, Jesus. (pause) I'm just curious, why can't you sell me more than that? The brokers hold in their laughter. CHRIS Well, we like to establish a relationship with our clients on something small before we get to the more serious trades. Let me show you several percentage points on this small trade and then we'll talk about doing future business. DR. JACOBS That sounds good. Give me two thousand shares. CHRIS Done. DR. JACOBS You sure you can't do any better on this one? CHRIS No, I'm sorry, Dr. Jacobs. DR. JACOBS Alright, let's start with this trade then. CHRIS Great. I promise we'll go big on the next one. (feigns masturbation) Now do you want the confirmation sent to your office or your mansion? DR. JACOBS (laughs) Very funny, Mr. Marlin. CHRIS Alright, let me put my secretary on. She'll take your info. Chris hits the hold button and then... CHRIS (CONT'D) Done and done. This should be as easy as selling insurance to a dying man who can't stand up with a wife beside him {who you already told "he'as going to die soon"}. Ahhhh ADT home security systems with built in panic buttons. Is there a better way to make money by scaring old people? Ahhhhh
Another great movie... "It's about girls, Mom...!" Then, from the same movie, after the character who said the above-mentioned line dies: "Now you can go anywhere you want..." Pretty obscure quotes from a pretty old movie, i don't know how well it will do here...
