:38:01
l, er... ought to mention we're getting
stick from the Bank of England...
:38:05
..about our funding over there.
:38:07
Technically we're in breach of regulations
on the ratio of lending to capital.
:38:11
Would you like me to have
a quiet word in their ear?
:38:15
Oh, we're not quite there yet.
:38:17
When l spoke to Andy Dixon
at the Bank, he said the matter was...
:38:20
..''buried reasonably deep in his in-tray''.
:38:23
Just flagging a concern.
:38:25
Quite right. lt's something
we should keep an eye on.
:38:28
Well... is that it? Any other business?
:38:30
Well, what about this chap Leeson?
He of the exhibitionist tendencies.
:38:35
l suppose it's something we should
leave to the Singapore authorities.
:38:39
l have to say... l'm inclined to agree.
:38:48
So, it was the profits that saved me.
:38:50
lf they only knew!
:38:55
Nick!
:38:56
That guy from Reuters again.
The second time today.
:38:58
Tell him l've...
:39:00
Oh, fuck it! Gimme the phone.
:39:04
Print me up a balance
on the eights account.
:39:06
Hi, Loy.
:39:07
Nick! You're a hard man to pin down.
:39:10
You know how it is.
What can l do you for?
:39:12
- Quite a position you've been buying.
- We're happy.
:39:15
l don't know how the client
wants to play it.
:39:18
Who is this mystery client, Nick?
He must have rather large balls.
:39:21
l'm sorry, mate.
Client confidentiality and all that.
:39:25
ls it Pierre Beaumarchais?
:39:28
Sorry, Loy, l... gotta go.
l'll speak to you later.
:39:32
Speak to you some other time.
:39:35
Jesus Christ, Bonnie. lt's 7.78 billion yen!
:39:39
- Do you want the dollar amount? lt's...
- Yeah, yeah, $77.8 million.
:39:43
Book me the following notional trade.
:39:45
Selling 1 ,000 December 21 ,500
put options at a price of... 7778.
:39:50
Then print me a new report after that
entry so it shows 7.78 billion yen...
:39:54
- ..as if it was owing to us from SlMEX.
- Sure, Nick.
:39:58
Then fax Brenda Granger in London,
asking for more funds.
