:09:01
- But you need a letter of intent.
- Exactly.
:09:04
And that's our Catch-22.
:09:07
We can't really go out
and talk about it,
:09:09
because if it's public,
potentially we start a bidding war,
:09:11
and that's considered a breach of
etiquette. Kills the deal.
:09:14
However, we wait too long, and we're not
considered hot anymore.
:09:18
And you have this letter of intent?
:09:22
Yes we do.
:09:24
We're applying the dot com model
to a different product.
:09:27
Yeah.
:09:29
But the dot coms failed.
:09:32
- Yeah, but that's only...
- No, with all due respect.
:09:35
It...
:09:38
That's going to be
a really tough sell.
:09:40
I mean, you guys have
a real battle on your hands.
:09:42
- That's bullshit.
- Lupus.
:09:45
Look, sorry, Mr. Ashby.
:09:47
I didn't mean anything.
But I just don't think
:09:49
you can argue with the
success of the business model.
:09:52
It was really an
overextension of the model
:09:54
to what turned out to be
a limited consumer demand
:09:57
that caused the
dot com collapse.
:09:59
Now, applied to a proper product,
with a solid consumer base,
:10:03
the model still holds up.
:10:09
He may be right.
:10:11
Let me be straight
with you, all right?
:10:13
We're this close to cutting somebody in on
the action,
:10:16
if they'd be willing to help.
:10:17
We just need to find
somebody with some balls.
:10:20
- Shall we order another round?
- Yeah.
:10:25
Lupus, nice save in there.
I'm very impressed.
:10:28
Poor bastard never
knew what hit him.
:10:30
Jesus Christ, I almost
felt sorry for the guy.
:10:33
I gotta go work off
some of this adrenaline.
:10:36
I have an in on a card game with some
Hollywood studio dipshits.
:10:39
- Anybody want a piece?
- I'm going home.
:10:41
- I'll go. Jake?
- No, I'm good.
:10:43
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
:10:45
Oh, Lupus, you should come.
You're gonna love these guys.
:10:48
Bunch of fucking knobs.
:10:50
Hey, Lupus.
:10:52
When this is all over,
:10:54
you'll let us know who
the King put on Big Al, right?
:10:59
You gonna have time?
