:31:00
Your mom and I had such
enormous hopes for you, kiddo.
:31:05
- Nobody's hopes work out, Pop.
- Right.
:31:08
I'm half your age, I already know that.
:31:12
Well, a toast seems appropriate.
:31:17
- To Danny Doheny.
- To hell with him.
:31:20
To McMullens.
:31:27
Now then, lucky lads, let's catch up
on a little family business.
:31:28
Now then, lucky lads, let's catch up
on a little family business.
:31:32
Yeah. Nothing like a good robbery
to bring a family close.
:31:35
He's such a fucking
wisenheimer, your father.
:31:37
- Does he do the same to you?
- Probably a little less than I do to him.
:31:41
Let's make a decision.
:31:44
- Let's.
- Talk.
:31:48
Are you familiar at all
with DNA research?
:31:51
Yeah, I read a couple
of magazine articles.
:31:54
Gene-splicing.
You know, they're breeding chickens...
:31:56
...that weigh more than you or me.
Try to keep current, huh?
:32:00
Well, nobody knows
what's gonna happen yet...
:32:02
...but the possibilities look limitless.
:32:05
The small companies
who are in it first...
:32:07
...are hoping to be the IBMs and
the Bell Telephones 20 years from now.
:32:12
There's a new red-hot,
very secret development.
:32:15
It's an agricultural plasmid.
Yeasts that are fixing nitrogen.
:32:19
That means that you could
raise wheat, corn...
:32:21
...damn near anything to grow
with no fertilizer.
:32:25
The stakes are enormous.
Farmers spend billions...
:32:27
Fuck the farmers.
Tell him what our end is.
:32:31
Jimmy Chiu,
an ex-professor of mine...
:32:33
...he works at a biology lab
out in Nassau County.
:32:37
He helped found the company.
:32:39
They screwed him out
of his piece of the action.
:32:41
- They fired this poor Chink.
- Yeah, I hear him.
:32:45
He's got some venture capital ready
to set up a new company.
:32:48
They need the new plasmids.
:32:51
He gets us in easy.
High stakes. Low risk. Nonviolent.
:32:56
No worries about our partners
robbing us or ratting us out.
