:20:01
Yeah.
:20:03
l know l am!
:20:09
That was the worst part -
Lisa thinking l was this brilliant success.
:20:13
lf she only knew
what a fuck-up l really was!
:20:17
When l wanted the market
to go up, it went down.
:20:19
lf l wanted it to go down, it went up.
:20:21
lt was hard not to take it personally.
:20:33
Nick?
:20:34
Nick! l just worked out the balance
in the eights account.
:20:38
- The losses are over $10 million!
- Keep your fuckin' voice down!
:20:41
Look, there's no need to panic.
:20:44
There's not enough in the client account
to make margin payments, Nick.
:20:52
(softly) Right.
:20:56
l need dollars. l need dollars
to cover the initial margin payment!
:21:00
l can get dollars from London to cover all
the client positions for the futures l buy!
:21:05
Nothing unusual about that.
But l'm gonna need yen.
:21:09
Gonna need yen to cover
the daily variation columns!
:21:12
Which'll leave a yen deficit
by the end of the month.
:21:15
Unless... unless l sell options.
:21:18
That'll generate commission in yen.
:21:21
And return the balance sheet
on the five eights account to zero!
:21:28
As long as London kept sending out
money to finance the client positions,...
:21:32
..l'd have enough cash to stay
on top of the margin payments.
:21:36
lt was like robbing Peter to pay Paul,...
:21:39
..but hopefully l'd end up making enough
to pay Peter back before he found out.
:21:44
Meanwhile l had to generate more and
more business to justify my cash calls,...
:21:49
..and for that l needed customers.
:21:52
The bigger the better.
