PUT. THAT COFFEE. DOWN. Coffee is for closers only. You think I'm ****in' with you? I am not ****in' with you.
Shelley Levene [slightly bewildered]
Uh-huh.
[Blake quickly looks at the board, then looks back]
You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?
Come on. You're eating her crumbcake.
Shelley Levene Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm eating her crumbcake.
How was it?
Shelley Levene Uh, from the store.
**** her.
You got leads. Mitch & Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, you are shit, hit the bricks pal, and beat it, 'cause you are going out.
Shelley Levene The leads are weak.
"The leads are weak." The **** leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business fifteen years...
What's your name?
**** you. That's my name.
[laughs]
You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight; I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name.
The leads are coming!
Shelley Levene Get 'em to me!
I talked to Mitch and Murray an hour ago. They're coming in, you understand. They're a bit upset about this morning's...
Shelley Levene Did you tell 'em about my sale?
How could I tell them about your sale? I don't even have a teleph - I'll tell them about your sale when they bring in the leads, all right? Shelley, all right? You closed a deal. Fine. You made a good sale, fine.
Shelley Levene It's better than a good sale. It's...
Look, I have a lot on my mind right now. They're coming in, all right? They're very upset, I'm trying to make some sense...
Shelley Levene I'm telling you - the one thing you can tell them is that it's a remarkable sale.
The only thing 'remarkable' about it is who you made it to.
Shelley Levene What the **** does that mean?
That if the sale sticks, it'll be a miracle.
Shelley Levene What does that mean? Why would it not... Oh, **** you. You do not know your job. That's what I'm saying. You do not know your job. That's what I'm saying. A man IS his job and you are **** at yours.
[Williamson is going to the cops to turn in Shelley]
Where have you been, Shelly? Bruce and Harriet Nyborg? Do you want to see the memos? They're nuts. When I was with Webb, they used to call in every week. Did you see how they were living? How could you delude yourself?
Shelley Levene I've got their check.
Well, frame it. It's worthless.
Shelley Levene [stammers]
Wha-wha--The check's no good?
Stick around, I'll pull the memo for you, I'm kind of busy now.
Shelley Levene The check's no good? They're nuts?
Call the bank. I called them four months ago, when we first got the lead. They're insane, Shelly. They just like talking to salesmen.
Shelley Levene [Williamson turns to go talk to the detectives]
Don't.
Shelley Levene Why?
Because I don't like you.
Shelley Levene [in tears]
My daughter.
**** you.
You said, "You don't make something up unless it's sure to help." How did you know I made it up?
Shelley Levene What are you talking about?
I told the customer his contract went to the bank.
Shelley Had it?
No, it hadn't.
Shelley Don't **** with me. Don't **** with me! What are you getting at?
Well, I'm saying this, Shelley: Usually I take the contracts to the bank. Last night I didn't. Last night I stayed home with my kids. How did you know that? One night in a year I left a contract on my desk. No one knew that but you. Now how did you know that? You want to talk to me, or do you want to talk to someone else? [points to the office]
Shelley Oh, for Christ's sake.
Because this is my job. This is my job on the line, and you are gonna talk to me! Now how did you know that contract was on my desk?
Shelley You are so full of shit.
You robbed the office.
Shelley Oh sure, I robbed the office! Oh, sure! You're an asshole.
What did you do with the leads? You want to go in there? I tell him what I know, he's gonna dig up something. You got an alibi last night, Shelley? You better have one. What did you do with the leads? If you tell me what you did with the leads, we can talk.
Shelley Well, I don't know what the hell you're talking about!
If you tell me where the leads are I won't turn you in. If you don't, I'm gonna tell a cop you stole them. Mitch and Murray will see that you go to jail. Believe me, they will! Now where are the leads? I'm walking in that door. You got five seconds to tell me or you are going to jail!
Shelley Ah, go on.
Yeah, I don't care! You understand? Where are the leads?
Shelley I—
All right. [walks to the office]
Shelley I sold 'em.
