("DON'T TURN AROUND"
BY BIIG PIIG PLAYING)
Don't you turn around ♪
And say you need me by your side ♪
If it's that easy
why'd you leave me? ♪
You know I've no one
to rely on, to rely ♪
Don't you turn around ♪
And say you need me by your side ♪
Come on! They keep
dying! This fucking room.
Seb, be careful! I just
changed these for winter.
- They're Santorini.
- Have you been nourishing it?
What do you mean fucking nourishing
it, Seb? It's a fucking plant!
If you're not willing to take
responsibility for something
that relies on you to live,
then I'm not sure I'm comfortable
sharing that responsibility with you.
(SCOFFS)
Okay.
Okay. I'll nourish it.
- He's probably just testing your boundaries.
- MAN: he's gonna beat me.
(MEN LAUGHING)
What is this Robert thing?
He told me something might
be going on between you guys?
Nothing's going on.
I mean, he texts me a lot.
He texts everyone a lot. The
volume's borderline harassment.
Are you into it?
I have a boyfriend.
Doesn't sound like you're denying it.
Yeah, I'm fucking denying it.
How's Todd?
HARPER STERN: He's here
for a few more days.
I'm still ghosting him.
And the chances of an Italian Brexit?
It's, uh, hard to say this far out,
but the fact that the
vote's even on the table
- is very worrying for the EU.
- Excuse me.
It may have come to your
attention that the Guardian
have run an article
this morning written by
one of our former employees.
Rishi.
Thank you.
If you get any incoming,
the correct response
is "no comment." Thanks.
(DOOR OPENING)
GREG GRAYSON: I called
it. I fucking called it!

(KNOCKING ON GLASS)
RISHI RAMDANI: Does
anyone know who this is?
'Cause I don't recognize her.
Guess you'd better go.
THEO TUCK: So
- Hey.
- ERIC TAO: Hey. I'm off.
Where are you going?
Somewhere called the "New Forest."
Though judging by this country,
there'll be nothing new about it.
Uh, it's management off-site.
I need you to sit down with Felim.
I happen to know that his new coverage
has him on the wrong
side of this Italy thing.
Their interests, not his.
He's very short euros,
dangerously over-levered.
Everyone is that side. How
do you know that it's wrong?
Because I've looked.
The smartest hedgies are
buying small clips of euros
ahead of this rumored vote.
Those in the know are acting like
this referendum's not happening.
And I I don't have to
know what they know to act.
I just need to know where
to look. That's edge.
That's sales.
Okay. Um So what
do you want me to do?
I want you to get a
face-to-face with him.
Show him how much he's missing us.
But what what about his wife?
What about her?
It's not a problem if you cover him.
You'll face him,
you'll execute, he'll
only hear your voice.
And his wife can sleep easy
on the sheets I helped pay for.
(INDISTINCT OFFICE CHATTER)
(TELEPHONES RINGING)
Oh, how do I get in front of him?
Harper, we both know
what you're capable of
so don't let me down.
(SYNTH MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS)
(GROANS)
Oh, fuck!
("BOYS GROW UP" BY
ARTIFICIAL PLEASURE PLAYING)
(PANTING)
(GROANING)
Oh, I'm trying to play the role ♪
I gotta be all tough
and take control ♪
So I'm working on my handshake ♪
I gotta lift weights I gotta man up ♪
Yeah, I gotta look straight ♪
You've got to pick a team, man ♪
Boys grow up ♪
There's no in between, man ♪
Boys grow up ♪
They said to grin and bear it ♪
- Boys grow up ♪

ROBERT SPEARING: Usman?
I'll say you're ill,
you degenerate bastard.
That's not me ♪
I just wanna be free ♪
- I just wanna be free ♪
- (CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
I just wanna be
free to have autonomy ♪
- Whoo-hoo ♪
- (MUSIC CONCLUDES)
My mother's trying to force me to
put her in touch with some funds
for some documentary
about the YPG in Syria.
- (CHUCKLES)
- She's threatening to go over there.
I told her Damascus used
to have a superb nightlife.
Then she hit me.
(IN SPANISH)
(IN SPANISH)
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
that you and Anton are done
raising capital for your fund.
What's your mandate?
(IN SPANISH)
- (CHUCKLES)
But if we have a view, we'll put it on.
Well, maybe I could lead
your intros at Pierpoint.
(CHUCKLES)
Why not?
(EXCLAIMS)
(IN SPANISH)
YASMIN KARA-HANANI:
Fuck, she's on my team!
Is it bad?
The rats are leaving the ship.
(IN SPANISH)
(BOTH LAUGH)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DUTCH)
CLEMENT COWAN: They treat
cyclists like citizens,
not cancer, in Amsterdam.
(CHAIR SCRAPES)
No, no, no. Let Kaspar face the room.
- I thought he might enjoy the view.
- He knows the view.
CLEMENT: Sorry, Kaspar,
it's his first business trip.
KASPAR ZENDEN: It's
unlike Usman to be late.
Uh, he he called me to
say that he had a stomach bug.
Yeah, some, uh some rogue prawn.
KASPAR: Hmm.
These conservative Muslim types
are great at running money.
You know, in the '70s we had
a Muslim family on my block.
I assume if you hadn't
seen a Western lavatory,
it could be a somewhat strange
and unsympathetic object,
but in my experience, they
always preferred to use the floor.
So best that Usman stays
out of the office today
with the strange tummy, huh?
(CHUCKLES) Huh?
- (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
- (CLEMENT AND KASPAR LAUGH)
KASPAR: Good.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DUTCH)
"Ten years on from the financial crisis,
the elite bank's toxic
culture is accelerating.
I couldn't lie to myself anymore."
Oh, she didn't make VP
so her conscience woke up.
- Good timing.
- I hear she already has a fucking book deal.
HILARY WYNDHAM: Uh, yeah,
my buddy Angus at Goldman's
is meeting a new fund out of Brevan.
Anyone got any color?
"Silver Kite" mean anything to anyone?
Uh, "Once, I found myself in
situations beyond my control
whilst being imprisoned within
a prison of my own complicity."
Show of hands. Anyone know
what the fuck that means?
She was always trying to
"bro-down." I heard her refer
to the quant team as
"50 shades of yellow."
(CHUCKLES) Pretty sure that was you.
Yeah, but she fucking laughed.
Yeah, can someone make an introduction?
This looks sizable. Kenny?
How can you work here and write
something so fucking impractical?
HILARY: (SHOUTING) Kenny!
(SIGHS)
Do you, I don't know, maybe want
to originate something, or
are you just an execution monkey?
Have you brought in a single
new account since you made VP?
- Um
- Huh?
I have an in with Brevan.
Oh. Sorry, with Silver Kite.
I have an in with Silver Kite.
How?
Um. I set up a coffee and pitched
us out with one of the founders.
Um, they are sizable,
vanilla and derivs.
Great.
Really great.
Set up a sit-down with Kenny.
Okay.
If I hear another word
about this article,
someone's going to have
a serious fucking problem!
(INDISTINCT OFFICE CHATTER)
GUS SACKEY: Let me know if
there's anything I can do.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)
- DARIA GREENOCK: I'm not a pollster, Graham.
What, do you really think a
Swiss-educated bureaucrat cares
Pierpoint. Gus Sackey speaking.
No, Eric's off the desk
at the moment. Can I help?
DARIA: rather, a protest
against years of austerity.
Yeah. Sure, of course.
Yeah, that's no problem.
- Sorry.
- (PHONE BEEPS)
- What the fuck are you doing?
- Who told you that you could answer Eric's line?
Do you want us to miss the business
- so you can keep your little monopoly?
- Hey. We're a team.
Harper, okay? We answer
each other's lines.
(OFFICE CHATTER CONTINUES)
- DARIA: Hey, sorry, Sara. I'm just
- GUS: Sorry.
DARIA: Okay, I'll give you a call in 20?
DARIA: Hey, what was
Eric asking you to do?
Oh, it was just some,
uh, account management.
DARIA: Sounds clandestine.
(CLEARS THROAT)
DARIA: Coffee?
GUS: Yeah, I can price
that for you, no problem.
- Just give me a sec
- (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING)
(TELEPHONE DIALING)
LUKE BEAUMONT: Fenmarsh, Felim's office.
Hi, Luke. Harper Stern
calling from Pierpoint.
LUKE: I've been told explicitly
not to put through any calls
from Pierpoint. My other line's ringing.
Wait
(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING)
- I got you one anyway.
- (CHUCKLES)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(MUSIC FADES)
CLEMENT: City airport's a miracle.
Eggs in Amsterdam, lunch in Mayfair.
First business trip
away is always a baptism.
Did Usman leave satisfied?
(INHALES, EXHALES)
Kaspar's not a very modern man.
(LAUGHS)
Open a Dutch newspaper.
He's more modern than you think.
(SIGHS)
And do you always agree
with everything he says?
Have you seen this?
(CLEMENT SCOFFS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Um, I'm happy to book
a place for Silver Kite.
Maxim's a bit of a foodie. (CHUCKLES)
I've, uh, booked a steak place
I like. 6:00 p.m. tomorrow.
- So you've already reached out?
- Yeah.
(PHONE RINGS)
- JACKIE WALSH: Pierpoint.
- Sorry, I I must've forgot to CC you.
- I'll send you the address.
- So I can come?
Yeah, you made the intro.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
WOMAN: 'cause that might be good.
(YASMIN CLEARS HER THROAT)
Guess my days of being
a salad girl are over.
A bit of a foodie, is he?
(JACKIE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
(SYNTH MUSIC PLAYING)
- Hey.
- YASMIN: Hey.
- (FRIDGE OPENS)
- (WATER POURING)
If you put my liver in a jar,
you could charge people to see it.
You on one tonight?
I have a work thing.
Plus, my ex is in town, and
he's being very persuasive.
I don't really need a lot of persuading.
ROBERT: Do you want me to come?
- HARPER: Yeah, I'll be fine.
- Well, if you're not,
I'll probably end up getting
the taste for it anyway, so
text me.
(YASMIN SIGHS)
Have you guys fucked yet?
'Cause if not, can you
please get on with it?

TV COMMENTATOR: They have the ball.
Now can they find the goal?
(CROWD CHANTING ON TV)
COMMENTATOR: Time running
out for the visiting team
GUS: So, how was Holland?
Uh, yeah, good.
I always wanted to
travel for work, so
COMMENTATOR: roaming,
looking for an opening
I wouldn't buy everything he sells you.
He's taking me to get
a suit fitted tomorrow.
- That sounds totally normal.
- (CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
COMMENTATOR: left to right,
searching for an opportunity.
- Goal! That's a fine strike
- (CROWD ROARING)
("THE PARTY WE COULD HAVE"
BY NATHAN MICAY PLAYING)
Hey, hey! She's at Pierpoint.
Boo!
Come on. Sellside girls pour the drinks.
Don't forget, your bosses
call me and I take their money.
ALL: (SHOUTING) Oh!
MIKEY WALKER: Hey! Hey! No accountants!
(MEN CHANTING INDISTINCTLY)
Hi. Harper.
We spoke on the phone.
Oh, yeah, Pierpoint. Yeah. Hey.
I was wondering if I could get
- five minutes with Felim
- LUKE: No work.
No work chat.
(DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES)
(CROWD CHEERING, WHISTLING)
Oy, oy, no, no, no. Only those
who make investment decisions
get to drink for free.
Yeah, no desk assistants.
That's just group policy, mate.
- (LAUGHS)
- I can get you a bottle.
I mean, like, Pierpoint
could get you a bottle
if you want. But I want
five minutes with Felim.
He won't speak to Eric.
HARPER: He doesn't have to.
Just put me in his diary, and
I'll take care of the rest.
LUKE: He won't see anyone below a VP.
He won't turn up.
Put Daria. Daria Greenock.
She'll lead, and I'll just
touch base with her before.
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(LUKE GRUMBLES)
I can get you ten minutes at noon.
HARPER: Yeah, done.
(CONFETTI EXPLODES)
(CROWD CHEERING)
- With the black girl?
- Yeah.
Oh, Harper. This a friend?
MIKEY: Yeah.
Appreciate it.
I like the disguise.
What're you doing here?
LUKE: You look like Travis Scott.
TODD BARBER: Nah, not at all.
(TODD CHUCKLES)
Turn your location off, then,
if you don't wanna be found.
Still got it. (LAUGHS)
(OVEN DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
(HUMMING)
Oh.
TODD: Jeez.
Chef's special.
Happy Thanksgiving.
(SPOON CLATTERS)
(CHUCKLES)
(HARPER SIGHS)
I miss you.
In between fucks?
- I saw that new bitch on your story.
- (LAUGHS)
Yeah, she had a boyfriend.
They broke up, and
I wasn't ready to graduate from
side nigga to, like, actual nigga.
To be honest,
I don't think you should be here.
I knew I would
But I know it's just not a good idea.
I should've said sorry.
That would've been a start.
Do you know what you're sorry for?
TODD: For everything.
(SCOFFS) That's not an answer.
For leaving you.
(CHUCKLES)
You don't have to be sorry for that.
That is what it is.
- It's how you left me.
- The fallout of what happened.
And what happened?
TODD: You freaked out.
I was sitting in my last final.
I couldn't catch my breath.
I thought I was having a
heart attack. (CHUCKLES)
So I walked out.
I walked, like,
three miles to Panda Prince
and I ordered the Kung Pao chicken.
Actually, most of the menu.
And I called you
again and again.
H, it sound like you had
like a panic attack.
You need to talk to somebody
about your brother, dude.
Yeah, fuck that.
(SPOON CLATTERS)
TODD: I'm sorry I wasn't there.
It's not an apology if you put
yourself at the center of it.
TODD: That's not what I'm doing.
I didn't know.
You look good.
(CHUCKLES) Don't do that.
Got hella ass in these pants.
- Double cheeked up.

THEO: (OVER LOUDSPEAKER) We're
expecting some color on Italy's rumored
EU membership referendum.
Should have an update later today.
If anybody needs me,
I'll be on the floor.
MAN: They talk to me regularly.
I think I'm losing my mind
Wait, why do I have a
twelve o'clock with Felim?
Did you put that in?
Is that a fuck up?
Um Ah. Yeah, that's my bad.
I was out last night with his assistant,
and I was just selling our team.
DARIA: Okay, but who set up the meeting?
- Felim?
- No, no.
I don't know why he did that.
There's no meeting. (CHUCKLES)
I think that he was drunk
and was just trying to help.
Sorry. (CHUCKLES)
DARIA: Okay.
Yeah, I don't think I'll survive
very long if I don't become
- a bit more wholesome.
- (SCOFFS)
(QUIET MUSIC PLAYING)
(IN SCOTTISH ACCENT) ANd they
say social mobility's a myth.
ROBERT: You're Scottish?
Well, we all have our
different ceilings.
(CHUCKLES)
What do you get out of this?
You know, your bringing me here.
What is your old man in?
I didn't speak to my father for
the last 20 years of his life.
I'm not close to my dad.
Mine oiled his hair with Brylcreem
and brushed his teeth with Colgate.
And once, I switched the tubes.
All you need to know about him
is that when he'd finished
brushing his teeth,
he combed the toothpaste
through his hair.
You never talk about where you're from.
Gets to the point
where they stop asking.
But they never stop caring.
Looks proper, that fabric. (CHUCKLES)
Normally 4250, I can do it for four.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) It's
a bit out of my range.
ACCENT) Yes, alas, Georgie,
we are in an age of deferred bonuses
and payment in stock.
We're at the bottom of the
river, our pans bereft of gold.
Now, I need to go pay Mrs. Winslow.
(SLOW MUSIC CONTINUES)
CLEMENT: (IN SCOTTISH ACCENT)
Last two day have been hell.
Why weren't you open yesterday?
- I needed you.
- GEORGE: I thought you had a mate in Amsterdam?
CLEMENT: Yeah, I think
something did for him.
Interpol or Fentanyl.
Liverpool or Rome? (LAUGHS)
CLEMENT: Either come
in and shut the door,
or shut the door and stay out.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(DOOR OPENING)
I remembered you'd be ten minutes early.
FELIM BICHAN: Right. Well,
I'd assume that one of Eric's
charges would be this proactive.
Wasn't there supposed to
be someone senior here?
She couldn't make it.
FELIM: Who's she?
- Uh, is a VP on our desk.
- VP, eh?
Right, well, I didn't
come here to be harangued
by one of Eric's team.
I'm actually not sure why I, uh
- WAITRESS: There you go, love.
- FELIM: Thank you.
Did you get my email?
I did.
The subject line did rather
amuse me amongst the deluge.
Eric was desperate to save
you from getting burned
on this Italy thing, and
I thought it only right
to relay his passion in person.
Have you started to
unwind your euro short?
(CHUCKLES)
I'll concede that we've
had some teething problems
with our new coverage, yes.
And how has that
affected your bottom line?
(CHUCKLES)
Very good.
What about
if going forward, you had every
relevant part of Eric's color,
but through me?
What does that make you then? A puppet?
A prop?
A conduit to Eric.
- "Conduit."
- HARPER: But without any of
the hassle.
(DOOR OPENS)
(SIGHS) I'm so sorry I'm late.
Traffic was suicidally bad.
It's not a problem. We're
just wrapping up, aren't we?
- DARIA: Oh, uh
- FELIM: It's okay.
Um
I appreciate that you're
a woman at the bottom of this industry,
and I sympathize with that.
And if anyone knows Eric's
powers of persuasion,
it's certainly me. But
what you think I'm reading as
proactivity or good business,
I actually see as
somebody in his thrall.
I I'm really sorry.
What's going on?
- If Harper's spoken out of school, that's on me.
- No, no it's fine.
I've got an open tab
here, so help yourselves
to a wee bit of lunch. But
it feels like you should probably
discuss why I left Pierpoint,
'cause that's
clearly been lost in translation.
And remember that some things
are more important than money.
Afternoon, ladies.
DARIA: I just can't believe
how easily you would lie to me.
Is that you?
Or is that him?
What did he actually
say to Felim's wife?
- I don't know. He wouldn't say.
- DARIA: What did he say?
- I promise, I'm not
- You promise?
Great. Okay.
I don't know where we go from here.
You have to decide because I can't
work or be friends with anyone
who would behave like that.
And if he's pressuring
you, you need to say now.
I promise you, I can understand that.
This way of doing business, the silos,
the possessiveness, the lying
it's going to stop.
That article is just the start.
This place is going to change, watch.
If you lie to me again, you have
no idea how cold the floor can be.
And I won't be in your corner come RIF.
Simple.
(GUS TALKING QUIETLY ON PHONE)
RISHI: Oh, Eric Tao, pro skater two!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
GUS: I'm glad we can
be of service. Great.
- (PHONE SLAMS)
- What do you think you're doing?
Why am I getting incoming about
a grad executing with my clients?
Harper and Daria were off the desk
ERIC: Did I tell you you could do that?
Did I tell you you could do that?
Check the P&L. Both trades made money.
(SHOUTING) Did I tell you
that you could do that?
(OFFICE CHATTER QUIETENS)
Debrief. Now.
(CHATTER RESUMES)
(MUSIC FADES)
- How was the New Forest?
- ERIC: Sit down.
Did you see Felim?
HARPER: Yes.
He really appreciated the Italy steer.
But he's not coming back.
(SHOUTS) Fuck!
(QUIETLY) It's all right.
It's fine.
Shot in the dark.
It's gonna be very hard to
get us all paid without him.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
I think I fucked up.
Daria was at the meeting with Felim.
What does she know?
I had to
I had to tell her that Felim
left for personal reasons.
ERIC: What does that mean?
Because of you.
ERIC: I heard whispers at the
offsite Sara wants me gone.
Did Daria tell you that?
What do you think you've
just done to move the dial
on their fucking agenda?
Do you think either of them
would protect you like I have?
Brought you over here.
I told you I couldn't be more grateful.
What do you think your
gratitude's worth to me
if you can't keep your fucking word?
I was the only one
willing to ignore your
non-target background,
pull you out of wherever
and give you the success
that might, let's say,
excuse your personality,
the massive fucking
chip on your shoulder.
You see how I carefully elided the fact
that you're also a fucking liar?
Or is that how you sustain the delusion
that you actually belong here?
(SNIFFLING)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Can I go?
Can you let me out?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(PHONES RINGING)
(SOBS)
(PANTING)
(GASPING)
Oh, Kaspar, getting you in
front of this Italy thing
better get us paid.
KASPAR: When was the last
time you came to Amsterdam
and didn't make commission?
- (CHUCKLES)
- USMAN ABBOUD: Thank you for your service, Robert.
London soon.
- I look forward to it.
- Uh, as do I.
- (USMAN CHUCKLES)
- As ever.
KASPAR: Pierpoint always have
you the right side of the trade.
GREG: He's paid to party.
- He's probably miserable.
- Hopefully, anyway.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
CLEMENT: Remember
it's only an addiction
if you can't afford it.
GREG: Yeah, blue horsecock
loves anacott steel.
No, it's a reference
to Doesn't matter.
(PHONES RINGING)
Good luck tonight.
I heard you're meeting
that new fund out of Brevan.
I do my homework.
Thanks.
DARIA: Piece of advice
If you sit there like window
dressing, it's hard to come back.
The quicker you open your mouth,
the quicker they know
you're an actual human being
on top of everything else.
(WATER RUNNING)
Hey.
Hey.
(WATER STOPS RUNNING)
KENNY KILBANE: The
referendum's coming up
When has Kenny ever been wrong?
He's fucking crazy.
Italians love them, and
they're all crazy, right?
ERIC: Rishi!
Skellington are buying euros!
RISHI: Yeah, on it.
THEO: (OVER LOUDSPEAKER) Italian

(MELLOW PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)
KENNY: I took the liberty.
Uh, they'll be here in a half an hour.
Okay. (CHUCKLES)
(PIANO MUSIC CONTINUES)
I'm not very good at
apologies. (CHUCKLES)
I know that sometimes
I can be a bit coarse,
- a bit hard on the desk.
- (CHUCKLES)
KENNY: I don't want to treat you
like you're special or anything,
so I'm trying to treat
you how I was treated.
That's why I I thought
that article was so fucking
It It's not an exposé.
People know what they're joining.
- S Sorry, I I'm not being very clear, but
- No, I get it. Um
It's very hard to stop,
you know, learned behavior.
- There's a hierarchy.
- Yeah, I completely understand. (CHUCKLES)
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)
(YASMIN CLEARS THROAT)
If I'm honest, I get
properly nervous before these.
I guess that's why we do
these things over drinks.
Yeah. They've never been easy for me.
I don't really feel very comfortable
around certain types, you know,
people who things come
easy to. (CHUCKLES)
I'm not saying that that's you.
- (YASMIN CHUCKLES)
- I know
when I was hammered, I said
some unforgivable things.
YASMIN: Yeah, you did.
But it's it's okay.
Honestly, don't worry
about it. (CHUCKLES)
Trust me,
I felt fucking crushed the next morning.
It's a good lubricator.
- It makes everything a bit
- Brighter?
- Yeah.
- YASMIN: Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES) Warm.
I'm from a long line of pissheads.
Being Irish, it's not a
necessity to be a drunk, but
It's not an obstacle either.
- No. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHS)
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)
Sorry.
What does your boyfriend do?
Media.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
(PEOPLE CHATTING INDISTINCTLY)
So, what sort of sales
coverage do you prefer?
Hands on? Hands off?
We don't really like
incoming calls but, uh,
I like someone who always
picks up when I call.
(SLURRING) I quite like this.
It's full bodied. (CHUCKLES)
Hmm.
Yasmin did a terrific job
getting us face-to-face.
It's good to know that an
expensive social education
- actually pays off.
- (LAUGHS UNEASILY)
It certainly did.
I think it's okay to be
a bit narpy sometimes.
(CHUCKLES)
Not A Real Person.
N-A-R-P. Narp.
Just something we say.
Like, uh, London's best worst people.
- Just a funny thing.
- (LAUGHS)
So, you two close then?
How would you describe it?
He's like a big brother. (CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
Is that how you would describe it?
Yeah. And I'm very protective.
KENNY: Hmm.
It's the only client meeting
I've ever had on a Friday night,
so I am curious. (CHUCKLES)
And if her dad wasn't in publishing,
I'd have guessed he helped
get you that job at Brevan.
Well, actually he is
pretty close to Alan,
- so it didn't hurt.
- (CHUCKLES)
But I guess we just play
with the hand we're dealt.
(DINERS TALKING AND LAUGHING)
Nightcap?
Um
We defer to you, Yasmin.
I could do one more,
if you could. (CHUCKLES)
It is a Friday.
The only place open around here
at this time are the 'rippers.
Table girls. Bit of
old-school nostalgia, hmm?
(CHUCKLES) I actually know
a late bar around here.
Um, it has got girls, but
in a more sort of kitsch,
tacky, ironic kind of way.
Um
But it does have flaming
Ferraris, if you want nostalgia.
(CHUCKLES)
(CLEARS THROAT)
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
There we go. Some drinks for
the lads, and the little lady.
Thank you, Kenny.
(IN SPANISH)
We're just setting up
an official meeting
further down the line.
(LAUGHS) Tell him if he's talking
about me, I want to fucking know!
We're not. He's not. Um
We'll use our own cards,
so we'll be fine. (CHUCKLES)
Dance?
Fifty private, twenty here.
Now we are talking!
We could all get one. Might be
a laugh. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Yeah, ladies first, Yas.
There's a salmon. You
keep the change, love.
Well, go on, it'll be a laugh. I'm next.
("OOOO" BY IAMDDB PLAYING)

I mean, it's Friday.
