BILL STEARN!
I'm back, baby!
Get your ass in my office right now. [Axelrod waits for Stearn to follow him in.] Close the fucking door!
[Stearn closes the office door behind him.]
Uh... you wanna tell me what I did here?
[Pointing at Stearn accusingly] Pretend we're having an argument.
You wanna fucking tell me why?
[Axelrod and Stearn both begin gesturing and pointing as if arguing furiously; the office is soundproofed, so the rest of the firm can only see them.]
I want the street to think that you and I are on the outs! I especially want those fuckers who left to hear about it! I wanna give Channing, Carla, and Lasa a good fucking!
I heard they went out on their own; you didn't bless that?
I did not bless that!
That's a shame! They were talented, and I kind of liked them!
Oh, so you don't wanna help me out?
Fuck that! They fuck you, they fuck me, so let's fuck them! Whaddya want me to do?
I'm gonna poke you. Poke me back!
I will poke you all goddamn day!
You throw in with them; you tell them I was a prick, when- more to come!
Got it!
You've been through a lot. You all right?
It was hell. But I survived!
When you walk out that door, I want you to tell me to go fuck myself, good and loud!
They're gonna hear me in the back office!
Come bonus time, I am gonna show you enough love, you could start a third family!
Two's fuckin' plenty!
I'm gonna shove you now!
Go ahead!
[Axelrod shoves Stearn, who shoves him right back.]
I love you like a brother.
I fuckin' love you, too, man. [Stearn pretends to storm out of Axelrod's office, pausing as he opens the door.] Go fuck yourself, Axelrod!
