Dealers (1989) - full transcript
The London branch of Whitney Paine, a major American investment bank, is in the midst of a crisis; after the loss of $100 million, one of their leading traders, Tony Eisner commits suicide by putting a slug through his head while seated at his place in the board room. Despite the high stakes, many of the firm's staff are eager to step into Tony's now-vacated shoes and get credit for saving the company. Daniel Pascoe, the leading trader at the firm, is convinced that he's first in line for the assignment, but the firm imports a new trader from America, Anna Schuman. Daniel is enraged and makes a point of trying to dig up as much dirt on Anna as he can, but things are going to take another turn.

it's our eyes now yes yes yeah okay Milo
come on we're all under press with the
Chris yeah he was under a hundred
million bucks worth there's the press is
gonna treat it like a bloody circus have
to tell his wife and we're gonna do that
I better do that now I know but there's
another problem what sir
well this sounds indelicate but having
your Dollar Tree to lose 100 million and
then blow his brains out all over your
boardroom table it's not the most
positive signal you can send your
shareholders it's gonna be a lot of
pressure on all of us particularly you
Robbie listen I got a research meeting
in ten minutes I'll take Danny off gilts
I'll put him on the dollar book that
won't work Robbie why not
whatever we do now is going to be
scrutinized with a laser beam I can't
recommend that we put Daniel in charge
of the dollar book why not you're too
high-profile Danny too damn risky come
on you've got a 100 million dollar loss
who the hell else is gonna pull you out
of that we have to assume a safe
Orthodox position for a while the only
way this hangs together is in a team
operation this is a respected financial
institution Daniel not a bloody casino
now most of you have been in this game
long enough to be aware of the dangers
what happened here today it's terrible I
know nobody can feel worse about it than
I do we're gonna have to try and push it
aside
Tony Eisner lost his nerve and we are
left with the consequences we've got a
hundred million dollar loss to make up
we have to claw our way back that is our
primary concern all right everybody deep
breaths plenty of oxygen keep your heads
let's get to it

book anyway anybody can make a mistake
are you the only one who so hard to
screw up well I might take a dive now
and again but I always bring it back
every quarter I never less than even
lust returns showed I made three million
for the book in a nine week stretch take
a look I did take a look I read every
major deal you've made over the past 24
months I know that you're dangerous
dangerous reckless might be a better
word listen I don't want anybody under
me taking those kind of risks alright
cuz this is why you brought me here to
give me a formal warning no I didn't
bring you here to give you a warning
[Music]
my place for a nightcap
it's late I'm tired oh come on I live
nearby in Canada
it's hardly nearby it's 20 minutes
approach
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
you interested in photography how did
you get this well I was curious as to
how you were hired understand oh you
little shit I got this job because of my
ability yeah Oh cute I was hired because
of my track record at Merrill not that I
have to explain this to you a
relationship with Frank Mallory had
nothing to do with it not even a little
no what did you do have me followed
so it's curious that a woman with a
week's history the bank is promoted to
head trader over a guy with nine years
experience not to mention me with sixth
anything no I don't Beryl was running
that room as it was a private party for
you and Tony Eisner one hundred million
dollars I'm surprised you weren't fired
right along with him why because I can
walk into any trading room in London and
get hired like that really I'd be
surprised if you get hired shuffling
currency some deadbeat offshore bank I
get offers twice a month maybe you
should think about taking one of them
I'd like to go now
would you please take me home
it's tricky getting off the lake at
night you might hit a log or something
I'm sure you've done it before
okay then let's call a cab I do have
cabs out here don't I
yeah there's a town about four miles
away although I'm not sure they're gonna
want to come up here in the dark okay
good night Pascoe

[Applause]
[Music]
max Colton Salomon's doesn't want feel
yeah yeah I'll be right up okay oh and
your car oh yeah
three thousand pounds and some change
since our bridge at the tire by the way
your Altima turd it's a war it's being
fixed oh don't bother
maybe you'd do us all a favor and crash
into something Anna thanks for coming up
this time of the morning I know you're
busy we're gonna research calm in 'its
hi hello okay then I'll get right to the
point
I've been reviewing the dollar position
since you joined us and I we are pleased
pleased and encouraged that the book is
running so smoothly thank you our
concern is the considerable loss that
the dollar operation still reflects yeah
its position you inherited of course oh
absolutely but one we have to address
ourselves to nonetheless you're talking
about a hundred million dollar negative
position and it's a tough situation we
know that that's why we hired you you
know you're capable of handling it
we're under pressure as well you know
are you saying you're not satisfied with
my performance Frank absolutely not but
Lee and I have been talking about ways
of speeding up the recovery process
that's right one scenario um I guess
that's the right word is a possible
incorporation of styles you're aware of
course that the bank wants to get rid of
this image of recklessness developed
under Robbie barrel at the same time we
have to acknowledge that Pascoe well he
does get results meaning what
what Lea is saying honor is that there
might be some percentage in utilizing
your talents and pastors in some sort of
combined operation a sort of team effort
what happens when we disagree do we flip
the coin it's a notion that we've been
discussing Anna and we naturally we
wanted to discuss it with you first okay
I'd be very grateful if you consider it
discussed and declined a plan like that
could backfire you'd be looking at a
three four hundred million dollar loss I
cannot be responsible for that I'm
telling you this guy should be put in a
straightjacket
so you're opposed to this idea yes I am
right all right Anna your positions
noted but it's an option which we may
yet have to consider well if you excuse
me sure thanks for coming up my pleasure
well I think that's gonna work out just
fine
[Music]

get a text I'll give you a ride come on

anything
[Music]
this is really something Daniel we've
reached a decision about the dollar
operation albeit a temporary one he
positions this you and Hanna Schumann
are to run the book together until such
time as we recover from this negative
position Ana will continue as principle
trader and maintain overall
responsibility why not just give it to
me give me the dollar book we don't feel
secure in doing that we nonetheless
recognize your ability to put it bluntly
we want the ability without the risk
she's not getting results right Donna's
getting results we want results faster I
don't like it
this doesn't leave the room but we'll
double your commission over the next 12
months if you resolve the loss you could
be looking at 600 grand
basically you want me to troubleshoot
Anna's position out of the shit right in
a word yes
well if I pull this off I want the
dollar book exclusively we can discuss
that later I need a commitment now I
can't commit to that I'll think about it
well think about it on the way to the
elevator Daniel we have to move on this

upturn what are you gonna do I think we
should go with it
I mean if pass goes right we can clean
out this position now if he's wrong
have you advised Frank Mallory about
this Frank already knows really he
requested the voice records a day ahead
of me did he and the point is he said
nothing not to me not to Pascoe and I
gather not to you either
well you're the chief trader the
discretion lies with you and your
judgment
Jesus the guy's crazy happen the US
Treasury secretary just now the press
conference he says he doesn't mind if
the dollar talks another couple points
what's the market doing holding like a
brick where's Danny he's in the men's
room
Danny you gotta get out here we got a
problem the markets going south so what
you built a huge stake in this market
it's gonna hit bottom we're gonna lose
another 100 million hey wait a minute
now how what did the feds say if there's
something about wanting a weaker dollar

test when such time as I override you
this position to deteriorating by the
minute sellers

glued so you could fire him seriously

get a carry declare the TMP pickers are
gonna drive the market up how could you
possibly know that
never mind I know you're both on the
line here you've dealt beyond your limit

situation this room was safer with a
rush like Robby barrel in control you're

come on we're all under press with the
Chris yeah he was under a hundred
million bucks worth there's the press is
gonna treat it like a bloody circus have
to tell his wife and we're gonna do that
I better do that now I know but there's
another problem what sir
well this sounds indelicate but having
your Dollar Tree to lose 100 million and
then blow his brains out all over your
boardroom table it's not the most
positive signal you can send your
shareholders it's gonna be a lot of
pressure on all of us particularly you
Robbie listen I got a research meeting
in ten minutes I'll take Danny off gilts
I'll put him on the dollar book that
won't work Robbie why not
whatever we do now is going to be
scrutinized with a laser beam I can't
recommend that we put Daniel in charge
of the dollar book why not you're too
high-profile Danny too damn risky come
on you've got a 100 million dollar loss
who the hell else is gonna pull you out
of that we have to assume a safe
Orthodox position for a while the only
way this hangs together is in a team
operation this is a respected financial
institution Daniel not a bloody casino
now most of you have been in this game
long enough to be aware of the dangers
what happened here today it's terrible I
know nobody can feel worse about it than
I do we're gonna have to try and push it
aside
Tony Eisner lost his nerve and we are
left with the consequences we've got a
hundred million dollar loss to make up
we have to claw our way back that is our
primary concern all right everybody deep
breaths plenty of oxygen keep your heads
let's get to it

selection of key personnel Frank now no
disrespect to mr. Schumann here but

book anyway anybody can make a mistake

lust returns showed I made three million

major deal you've made over the past 24
months I know that you're dangerous
dangerous reckless might be a better
word listen I don't want anybody under
me taking those kind of risks alright

give me a formal warning no I didn't
bring you here to give you a warning
[Music]
my place for a nightcap
it's late I'm tired oh come on I live
nearby in Canada
it's hardly nearby it's 20 minutes
approach
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
you interested in photography how did
you get this well I was curious as to
how you were hired understand oh you
little shit I got this job because of my
ability yeah Oh cute I was hired because
of my track record at Merrill not that I
have to explain this to you a
relationship with Frank Mallory had
nothing to do with it not even a little
no what did you do have me followed
so it's curious that a woman with a
week's history the bank is promoted to
head trader over a guy with nine years
experience not to mention me with sixth
anything no I don't Beryl was running
that room as it was a private party for
you and Tony Eisner one hundred million
dollars I'm surprised you weren't fired
right along with him why because I can
walk into any trading room in London and
get hired like that really I'd be
surprised if you get hired shuffling
currency some deadbeat offshore bank I
get offers twice a month maybe you
should think about taking one of them
I'd like to go now
would you please take me home
it's tricky getting off the lake at
night you might hit a log or something
I'm sure you've done it before
okay then let's call a cab I do have
cabs out here don't I
yeah there's a town about four miles
away although I'm not sure they're gonna
want to come up here in the dark okay
good night Pascoe

your car oh yeah
three thousand pounds and some change
since our bridge at the tire by the way
your Altima turd it's a war it's being
fixed oh don't bother
maybe you'd do us all a favor and crash
into something Anna thanks for coming up
this time of the morning I know you're
busy we're gonna research calm in 'its
hi hello okay then I'll get right to the
point
I've been reviewing the dollar position
since you joined us and I we are pleased
pleased and encouraged that the book is
running so smoothly thank you our
concern is the considerable loss that
the dollar operation still reflects yeah
its position you inherited of course oh
absolutely but one we have to address
ourselves to nonetheless you're talking
about a hundred million dollar negative
position and it's a tough situation we
know that that's why we hired you you
know you're capable of handling it
we're under pressure as well you know
are you saying you're not satisfied with
my performance Frank absolutely not but
Lee and I have been talking about ways
of speeding up the recovery process
that's right one scenario um I guess
that's the right word is a possible
incorporation of styles you're aware of
course that the bank wants to get rid of
this image of recklessness developed
under Robbie barrel at the same time we
have to acknowledge that Pascoe well he
does get results meaning what
what Lea is saying honor is that there
might be some percentage in utilizing
your talents and pastors in some sort of
combined operation a sort of team effort
what happens when we disagree do we flip
the coin it's a notion that we've been
discussing Anna and we naturally we
wanted to discuss it with you first okay
I'd be very grateful if you consider it
discussed and declined a plan like that
could backfire you'd be looking at a
three four hundred million dollar loss I
cannot be responsible for that I'm
telling you this guy should be put in a
straightjacket
so you're opposed to this idea yes I am
right all right Anna your positions
noted but it's an option which we may
yet have to consider well if you excuse
me sure thanks for coming up my pleasure
well I think that's gonna work out just
fine
[Music]
where are you going come on you never
get a text I'll give you a ride come on

that's what makes it what it is I'll say
anything
[Music]
this is really something Daniel we've
reached a decision about the dollar
operation albeit a temporary one he
positions this you and Hanna Schumann
are to run the book together until such
time as we recover from this negative
position Ana will continue as principle
trader and maintain overall
responsibility why not just give it to
me give me the dollar book we don't feel
secure in doing that we nonetheless
recognize your ability to put it bluntly
we want the ability without the risk
she's not getting results right Donna's
getting results we want results faster I
don't like it
this doesn't leave the room but we'll
double your commission over the next 12
months if you resolve the loss you could
be looking at 600 grand
basically you want me to troubleshoot
Anna's position out of the shit right in
a word yes
well if I pull this off I want the
dollar book exclusively we can discuss
that later I need a commitment now I
can't commit to that I'll think about it
well think about it on the way to the
elevator Daniel we have to move on this

what's up I've say what's on your mind
I've discovered a situation that's
jeopardizing the bank's position and I
realize I I can't ignore it you being
rather cryptic yes well
simply put Daniel Pascoe's taken a
massive position in Treasuries without
my knowledge how massive two hundred
million dollars
you say without your knowledge and how
do you know I requested the boys records
have you confronted Pascoe what is he
say no I haven't GMP figures are due
earlier this afternoon I imagine he's
anticipating an upswing in Treasuries
what do you think markets looking for an
upturn what are you gonna do I think we
should go with it
I mean if pass goes right we can clean
out this position now if he's wrong
have you advised Frank Mallory about
this Frank already knows really he
requested the voice records a day ahead
of me did he and the point is he said
nothing not to me not to Pascoe and I
gather not to you either
well you're the chief trader the
discretion lies with you and your
judgment
Jesus the guy's crazy happen the US
Treasury secretary just now the press
conference he says he doesn't mind if
the dollar talks another couple points

brick where's Danny he's in the men's
