And Reid was good. All we want you to do is make it as rich as possible, Ross. And luxury, a necessity. Ah, what you needed, an unlisted force. Meet F. Ross Johnson. I picked it up my first day in New York.

CEO extraordinaire. I'm going to buy out the company. He wants to buy out R.J. Arnadisco. What? He's got a plan. Every penny you think of, the way here comes back to us dressed up like a nickel.

I'm talking about putting a mountain of money into everybody's pocket right now. But the sharks are circling. We have to be in on this, Peter. Understand? Krabas will eat you alive if you let him in.

So they'll be looking for seventeen billion dollars. Twenty billion dollars! James Gunner. Well, I want from bankers as a new calendar every year and all I care about lawyers is they're back in their coffins before the sun comes up.

In a story that reviews the lowdown on high finance. Now I know what the F at F Ross Johnson stands for. Barbarians at the gate. The HBO original movie. For ten centuries it has waited.
