“There is a one-in-a-million chance that so and so will
happen… Fuck it, it won’t happen to me. No.”
Roma is
attempting to close on a lead with Lingk in the restaurant. Everyone has
thought the above phrase at one time or another in their lives. Roma ssays
whatever he can to close his deals and this time is no exception. He talks up
the lead he has to Lingk and makes it near impossible for LIngk to pass up on
the offer. This ability of Roma to sweet talk aids him in closing the deals and
being at the top of the “board.”
“A man’s his job and you’re fucked at yours.”
Williamson is the assistant to
Murray and Mitch. His job is to hand out the leads as he sees most profitable.
Levene use to be a go to person to give leads to because he had a great return rate,
however, he has gone downhill recently. Levene begs Williamson for better leads
at the top of the “board” but Williamson refuses. Levene calls Williamson out
with the above quote saying his character is incapable of handling this job. He
bashes Williamson for not helping him out in a desperate time when he is not
necessarily accountable, putting him in the wrong.
“I just called downtown and its on their desk.”
While
in the office, Lingk walks in to talk with Roma about the deal that they just
closed. There is a three day period after the check has been cashed for it to
be canceled for the owner of the check to be bound. Lingk is having second
thoughts and would rather not go through with the deal. Roma’ shady charcter
really shines through in this scene when it is very clear that he is lying to
his client.
