Beers?
Four Millers.
Hey! Did one of you guys drop this?
-No.
I don't know. I wouldn't have taken a chance.
Another round, I'm buying.
-No, come on guy, you can't buy every round.
It's like our turn.
-Come on, we've got plenty of cash.
Tell you what.
We'll roll off one?
-Low number buys.
-Very good.
-You're on for it.
Let's go, Junior.
That's just four.
-Gimme a chance to get one of you back.
-You got it.
Wanna go one more time?
I got four.
It's great to get away, isn't it?
To take some time off?
Next week, I'll be back to work.
-You already went back to work.
- What?
- I watched you. Working the tatt
on those sailor boys.
-Working the what?
-Oh, come on, Roy. The tatt.
What you do for a living.
I'm a salesman.
-You're on the grift. Same as me.
- Myra, I'm not following this.
Roy, you're a short-con operator.
And a good one, I think.
Don't talk to me like
I'm another square.
You talk the lingo.
What's your pitch?
The long end. Big con.
-Nobody does that single out.
I was teamed 10 years with the
best in the business.
Cool Langley.
-I've heard the name.
-It was beautiful, and getting better
all the time.
-Is that right?
It is, Roy, it's where you should be.
What are you bringing? 3,400 a week?
We used money like that for tips.
- Wow!
And now, right now, it's the perfect time.
The best time
since I've been in the game.
All over the southwest you've got
these businessmen. They were
making money when everybody was
making money. They think that means
they're smart. And now they're hurting.
When the price of oil fell, so did they.
They've still got money,
but they need more money.
When the oil money was good, they put
up all these office buildings. Now they're
half empty. They'd give you anything to
move in: first two months free,
redecoration, whatever you want.
They help you set up the store.
I'm the roper. I go out and find them,
and bring them in.
Morning, gentlemen.
Gloster Hebing, may I present my
fine stock broker, Henry Fellows?
Gloster.
What we have here today,
Mary Beth, is strickly between...
Oh, I told Mr. Hebing all
about it. How brilliant you are
at making money for your
special clients.
Well, I certainly hope that you're not
spreading the news a little too widely.
Well, of course not! But I'd trust
Mr. Hebing with anything.
Wouldn't I, darling?
Well, I guess I'll just have to take
your word for that. Won't I?
Here's the money.
Goodie!
Please, let me help you.
Once they saw that money,
they were hooked.
And I made sure they saw it.
Ain't that just beautiful?
-Then, all Cool had to do was tell the story.
-We are talking about
breaking the law here. I just wanna
make sure you understand that.
-No one is gonna get hurt, but the law
is gonna be broken.
-Laws were made to be broken.
Lose talk is the one thing I worry about.
I can keep my mouth shut.
Gloster, come on over here
and sit down.
Tokyo exchange is 9 hours behind us,
the NY exchange is 1 hour ahead of us.
There is never one hour in which
both exchanges are open.
Information moves, but it has to wait.
Now, I have a fellow working for me.
D'ya know what a hacker is?
-Yeah, sure. That's like a computer expert,
a genius.
-Very good.
And what this boy has been able to do,
is tap into that main link
between Tokyo and NY
and when we really need it
he's been able to give us
a 7 second delay
in the transfer of that information.
Do you know what that means?
Well, I can see that you get your
information ahead of NY.
Every once in a while
a major change happens.
And we have a 7 second advantage
to put a buy order, a sell order,
into that computer in NY just before
that data from Tokyo comes pulling in
right behind it.
-Not much time.
-No, we have to be ready, we have
to have the money, we have to know
what that information means
and we have to move like grease
lightning.
But boy, when it works,
it is beautiful!
Seven seconds, ah?
-I don'
