Wade, have ya had a chance to think about, uh, that deal I was talkin' about, those forty acres there on Wayzata?
Wade You told me about it.
Yeah, you said you'd have a think about it. I understand it's a lot of money--
Wade A heck of a lot. What'd you say you were gonna put there?
A lot. It's a limited--
Wade I know it's a lot.
I mean a parking lot.
Wade Yeah, well, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a lot.
Yeah, well, it's a chunk, but--
Wade I used to own a lot myself way back in the late '50's. It's a lotta money.
Yeah, well--
Wade I thought you were gonna show it to Stan Grossman. He passes on this stuff before it gets kicked up to me.
Well, you know Stan'll say no dice. That's why you pay him. I'm askin' you here, Wade. This could work out real good for me and Jean and Scotty.
Wade Jean and Scotty'll never have to worry.
How ya doin' there, Stan? How are ya, Wade?
Good to see ya again, Jerr'. If these numbers are right, this looks pretty sweet.
Oh, those numbers are right, all right. Believe me.
Wade This is do-able.
Congratulations, Jerry.
Yeah, thanks, Stan, it's a pretty--
Wade What kind of finder's fee were you looking for?
Huh?
The financials are pretty thorough, so the only thing we don't know is your fee.
My fee? Wade, what the heck are you talkin' about?
Wade Stan and I are okay.
Yeah.
Wade We're good to loan in.
Yeah.
Wade But we never talked about your fee for bringin' it to us.
No, but, Wade, see, I was bringin' you this deal for you to loan me the money to put in. It's my deal here, see?
Jerry, we thought you were bringin' us an investment.
Yeah, right.
You're sayin'... What're you sayin'?
Wade You're sayin' that we put in all the money and you collect when it pays off?
No, no. I--I 'd, pay you back the principal, and interest. Heck, I'd go one over prime?
We're not a bank, Jerry.
Wade What the heck, Jerry, if I wanted bank interest on seven hundred fifty thousand I'd go to Midwest Federal. Talk to Bill Diehl.
He's at Norstar.
Wade He's at--
No, see, I don't need a finder's fee, I need a finder's fee's, what, ten percent, heck that's not gonna do it for me. I need the principal!
Jerry, we're not just going to give you seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Wade What the heck were you thinkin'? Heck, if I'm only gettin' bank interest, I'd look for complete security. Heck, FDIC. I don't see nothin' like that here.
Yeah, but I--Okay, I would, I'd guarantee ya your money back.
Wade I'm not talkin' about your damn word, Jerry. Geez, what the heck are you--?
We're not a bank, Jerry.
Wade Well, look, I don't want to cut you out of the loop, but this here's a good deal. I assume, if you're not interested, you won't mind if we move on it independently.
Wade Damn it! I wanna be a part of this thing!
No, Wade! They were real clear! They said they'd call tomorrow with instructions and it's gonna be delivered by me alone!
Wade It's my money, I'll deliver it--what do they care?
Wade's got a point there. I'll handle the call if you want, Jerry.
No, no. See--they, no, see, they only deal with me. Ya feel this, this nervousness on the phone there, they're very-- these guys are dangerous.
Wade All the more reason! I don't want you--with all due respect, Jerry, I don't want you mucking this up.
The heck ya mean?
Wade They want my money, they can deal with me. Otherwise I'm goin' to a professional. There's a million dollars here!
No, see--
Wade Look, Jerry, you're not sellin' me a damn car! It's my show here. That's that.
It's the way we prefer to handle it, Jerry.
Who the **** are you? Who the **** are you?!
Wade I've got your damn money now where's my dauguter?
I am through ****in' around. Drop that ****in' briefcase!
Wade Where's my daughter?
**** you man! Where's Jerry? I gave simple ****in' instructions.
Wade Where's my damn daughter? No Jean, no money!
Drop that **** money!
Wade No Jean, no money!
Is this a ****in' joke here?! [Carl pulls out his gun and shoots Wade] Happy now, asshole?! What's with you people?! Ya **** imbeciles!
