A scene from Mission: Impossible II 2000
Sean Ambrose

How quickly can you manufacture more of the antivirus?

John McCloy

No time at all, once I've got it.

Sean Ambrose

Good. Biocyte's stock is just a few weeks away from going through the roof!

John McCloy

What are you talking about?

Sean Ambrose

An outbreak of Chimera.

John McCloy

Where?

Sean Ambrose

Downtown Sydney...for a start. You creat the supply, Mr. McCloy; we've just created the demand! Three million people in Sydney, and seventeen million people in Australia are going to need Bellerophon within the next few days, not to mention the rest of the world. Now, this is how it's going to work. [Ambrose turns to one of his men] Wallis, the shares outstanding are?

Wallis

93.4 million.

Sean Ambrose

Which means, Mr. McCloy, we need to get our hands on 480,000 stock options. We'll borrow your $30 million to buy those options. Your stock had never sold above $31 a share. When your stock goes north of 200, which it will, those shares will be worth billions and I will own 51% of Biocyte!

John McCloy

This is outrageous. I will not let you take control of my company.

Sean Ambrose

Sit down. You'll be a billionaire. It's better than being broke. I have terrorists and... other pharmaceutical companies standing in line. The ball’s in your court, Mr. McCloy.
