No, Pete, the gold standard is never coming back. And if it did, this world would be so fucked, I'd buy space travel, not gold.Nice pitch, though.
If I'd have known it was a gold play, I'd have never put him through.
Always put that lunatic through. One out of every 200 ideas he has is fucking brilliant.
I got this.
Bad idea. "No man is a hero to his valet."
That goes double for his C.O.O., so you are fucked with me either way.
Let's take a car to the city instead of flying.
What's underneath this?
Look, if the U.S. Attorney is really coming, maybe it's better if we don't make you more of a target. And more important, Garth Sykes from Flagship. Hated seeing you on the cover of the Post with that goddamned oceanfront mansion. Teachers in that pension fund make 40 grand a year.
People who have it spend it.
People who don't have it like billies better who spend on other folks. Charity, good works.
I do, I have, and you know it.
Today, they only remember the house.
I have a feeling there'll be another one of us on the front pages soon enough, and they'll forget about that.
But if Flagship does try and withdraw...
We can't let him. If Flagship pulls its $1.5 billion, it gets public. Other institutions go, too. Whole thing could domino. Get with Sykes, keep them on board.
That's just why I'm telling you to keep it a little more low-key.
Who's more low-key than me?
