Quotes 

  • JP Morgan Employee : Ted had asked me to do some meeting prep but I couldn't find any marketing material on you guys.

    Charlie Geller : Oh, we just moved here from Boulder.

    JP Morgan Employee : Yeah. Well, can we see your offering documents

    Charlie Geller : Well, Brownfield is its own money.

    Jamie Shipley : It's our money.

    JP Morgan Employee : Well, can you tell us how much you manage?

    Charlie Geller : Of course. We're doing 30 million right now, uh, but we started four years ago with 110 thousand. So, as you can see, that's pretty phenomenal returns.

    Jamie Shipley : We want to get an ISDA agreement so we can deal in long-term options.

    [subtitled: ISDA Agreement: An agreement that lets an investor sit at the 'big boy table' and make high level trades not available to stupid amateurs.Trying to be a high stakes trader without an ISDA is like trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama] 

    JP Morgan Employee : [in a slightly condescending tone]  That's really cool. That is SO cool.

    Charlie Geller : Thank you.

    JP Morgan Employee : But, uh... you guys are under the capital requirements for an ISDA.

    JP Morgan Employee : By how much?

    JP Morgan Employee : [thinking]  Uh... how much? One billion, four hundred seventy million. So... a lot.

    Charlie Geller : This makes us look bad, doesn't it? That we didn't know what the capital requirements were?

    JP Morgan Employee : Uh... it's not great. But keep up those returns and give us a call way down the line, you know. Okay?

  • Charlie Geller : Look, either we're right or we're wrong in a giant, giant way. And if we're wrong, then we gotta find someone to help us get out of this trade.

    Jamie Shipley : I'm not feeling remotely confident that we're right. and if we're wrong, who's gonna tell us? who understands this stuff? It makes no sense!

  • Charlie Geller : This isn't how I pictured it.

    Jamie Shipley : What did you think you'd find?

    Charlie Geller : I don't know. Grown-ups.

  • Jamie Shipley : How are you floating your resumé to big banks? I mean you're supposed to be the ones, you know, policing the big banks.

    Evie : Grow up, Jamie!

    Jamie Shipley : There must be some kind of law against working for a financial institution right after you've been working in financial regulation, right?

    Evie : No. No!

  • [repeated line] 

    Jamie Shipley : No no no!
