原文
Hello, dear. I hear you've been very busy. - He's in the den.
What the hell was that stunt?
Skip Wolkowska's an old friend. He asked for help. I didn't want to refuse. But I was 90% sure you'd react the way you did. It's a win any way you look at it.
How is that a win?
I knew that Skip's lawyer would spread it, and it'd land in the news. And if you treat me that way, they'll all fear you. That's what you need right now. You'll be seen as tough on Wall Street.
Hmm. Some audible to call.
You're welcome.Now, listen. You didn't smile enough during the presser.
You let them get to you.
You're right.
And I didn't like that question about Axe Capital. What prompted that?
Spyros planted it. S. E. C. wants me to move on Axe.
It's difficult to convict a popular man.
Yes, I know.
Well, if you move on him and take that risk, you have to get the reward.
You can let the S.E. C. do the mopping up, collect their fines, but they can't be seen as leading it. A lot of people have Axelrod's back in this city. He's made them a lot of money. And you know the line if you're gonna strike against the king.
The King is houseshopping right now. Prime beachfront, heritage. Hasn't even come on market yet.
That's a mistake. A conspicuous buy like that in the news? He goes from a billionaire that you can pull for to just another rich asshole. If he turns the populous against him, he gives his edge to you.
I passed word that, uh, he shouldn't buy it. If he's innocent, he passes, because he's a disciplined player and he knows that's the disciplined move. But a guilty man, he buys that house to show me he's got nothing to hide.
Smart. Maybe I can have a friend make a bid, get the competitive juices flowing.
I like that.
Roger could always use a new house. And I know Denny Dantone is actively looking.
You guys know I only drag food into this room for the Super Bowl. Come on, Charles. I made the pot pies. I should have some time with my son.
We'll be right there. Your mother. That's a loyal woman.
Don't.
I'm just saying that your mother would never let her job interf
She never left the kitchen, Dad. That's what you wanted in a wife, not me.
Still, Wendy's making things difficult for you. Why is she still working?
We started to discuss it. Legally, there's no conflict yet. She'll do the right thing.
Better hope so,son.
