1:04:00
God, that's what
I've been saying-- the old ways.
1:04:03
Convert that motherfucker,
sell him, make him sign the check.
1:04:06
They got their money
in government bonds--
1:04:08
I said, ''Fuck it-- let's go
all the way, the whole route.''
1:04:12
I take it and plat it out-- eight units,
82 grand, and I say to them,
1:04:16
''This is now. This is that thing
that you have been dreaming of.
1:04:22
You are going to find
the suitcase on the train.
1:04:24
The man walks in the room,
that bag is filled with money.
1:04:27
Harriett, this is it, and Bruce--
I don't want to fuck around with you.
1:04:31
No, I don't. I don't want
to pussyfoot around.
1:04:34
You think you got to look back
on this thing? I do, too.
1:04:38
Now, I'm here to do good
for you and me-- the both of us.
1:04:41
What is the point
of some interim position?
1:04:45
The only arrangement
I will accept is full investment.
1:04:48
And I mean it, that's it--
all eight units. Period.''
1:04:51
Now I got the pen
in my hand, Rick-- hey.
1:04:54
I turned that contract around--
that's eight units, 82 grand--
1:04:59
and I said,
''I want you to sign.''
1:05:03
I sat there five minutes.
1:05:06
Then I sat 22 minutes
by that kitchen clock on the wall.
1:05:12
Ricky-- not a word,
not a motion.
1:05:14
And what am I thinking?
''Is my arm getting tired?''
1:05:17
No. I did it.
Just like the old days,
1:05:20
like I used to,
like I was taught.
1:05:22
- I did it.
- Like you taught me.
1:05:24
Nobody ever--
well, if I did, I'm glad.
1:05:27
No, what I did--
I locked on 'em.
1:05:29
I locked all on them--
nothing on me-- on them.
1:05:32
And, oh God, I am holding
my last thought,
1:05:35
''Now is the time.''
1:05:39
They signed.
It was great.
1:05:43
It was so fucking great.
1:05:45
It was like
they wilted all at once.
1:05:49
- Mmm.
- No gesture, nothing-- just together.
1:05:52
Honest to God, they both
imperceptibly slumped.
1:05:57
And then he reached
and he took the pen and he signed,
