David Mamet - Glengarry Glen Ross Big Reveal lyrics

LEVENE You are a sh**head, Williamson... Pause. WILLIAMSON Mmm. LEVENE You can't think on your feet you should keep your mouth closed. (pause) You hear me? I'm talking to you. Do you hear me...? WILLIAMSON Yes. (pause) I hear you. LEVENE You can't learn that in an office. Eh? He's right. You have to learn it on the streets. You can't buy that. You have to live it. WILLIAMSON Mmm. LEVENE Yes. Mmm. Yes. Precisely. Precisely. 'Cause your partner depends on it. (pause) I'm talking to you, I'm trying to tell you something. WILLIAMSON You are? LEVENE Yes, I am. WILLIAMSON What are you trying to tell me? LEVENE What Roma's trying to tell you. What I told you yesterday. Why you don't belong in this business. WILLIAMSON Why I don't... LEVENE You listen to me, someday you might say, "Hey..." No, f** that, you just listen what I'm going to say: your partner depends on you. Your partner...a man who's your "partner" depends on you...you have to go with him and for him...or you're sh**, you're sh**, you can't exist alone... WILLIAMSON (brushing past him) Excuse me... LEVENE ...excuse me, nothing, you be as cold as you want, but you just f**ed a good man out of six thousand dollars and his goddamn bonus 'cause you didn't know the shot, if you can do that and you aren't man enough that it gets you, then I don't know what, if you can't take some thing from that... (blocking his way) you're scum, you're f**ing white- bread. You be as cold as you want. A child would know it, he's right. (pause) You're going to make something up, be sure it will help or keep your mouth closed. Pause. WILLIAMSON Mmm. Levene lifts up his arm. LEVENE Now I'm done with you. Pause. WILLIAMSON How do you know I made it up? LEVENE (pause) What? WILLIAMSON How do you know I made it up? LEVENE What are you talking about? WILLIAMSON You said, "You don't make something up unless it's sure to help." (pause) How did you know that I made it up? LEVENE What are you talking about? WILLIAMSON I told the customer that his contracts had gone to the bank. LEVENE Well, hadn't it? WILLIAMSON No. (pause) It hadn't. LEVENE Don't f** with me, John, don't f** with me...what are you saying? WILLIAMSON Well, I'm saying this, Shel: usually I take the contracts to the bank. Last night I didn't. How did you know that? One night in a year I left a contract on my desk. Nobody knew that but you. Now how did you know that? (pause) You want to talk to me, you want to talk to someone else...because this is my job. This is my job on the line, and you are going to talk to me. Now how did you know that contract was on my desk? LEVENE You're so full of sh**. WILLIAMSON You robbed the office. LEVENE (laughs) Sure! I robbed the office. Sure. WILLIAMSON What'd you do with the leads? (pause, points to the Detective's room) You want to go in there? I tell him what I know, he's going to dig up something...You got an alibi last night? You better have one. What did you do with the leads? If you tell me what you did with the leads, we can talk. LEVENE I don't know what you are saying. WILLIAMSON If you tell me where the leads are, I won't turn you in. If you don't, I am going to tell the cop you stole them, Mitch and Murray will see that you go to jail. Believe me they will. Now, what did you do with the leads? I'm walking in that door--you have five seconds to tell me: or you are going to jail. LEVENE I... WILLIAMSON I don't care. You understand? Where are the leads? (pause) Alright. Williamson goes to open the office door. LEVENE I sold them to Jerry Graff. WILLIAMSON How much did you get for them? (pause) How much did you get for them? LEVENE Five thousand. I kept half. WILLIAMSON Who kept the other half? Pause. LEVENE Do I have to tell you? (pause, Williamson starts to open the door) Moss. WILLIAMSON That was easy, wasn't it? Pause. LEVENE It was his idea. WILLIAMSON Was it? LEVENE I...I'm sure he got more than the five, actually. WILLIAMSON Uh-huh? LEVENE He told me my share was twenty-five. WILLIAMSON Mmm. LEVENE Okay: I...look: I'm going to make it worth your while. I am. I turned this thing around. I closed the old stuff, I can do it again. I'm the one's going to close 'em. I am! I am! 'Cause I turned this thing a...I can do that, I can do anyth...last night. I'm going to tell you, I was ready to Do the Dutch. Moss gets me, "Do this, we'll get well..." Why not. Big f**in' deal. I'm halfway hoping to get caught. To put me out of my... (pause) But it taught me something. What it taught me, that you've got to get out there. Big deal. So I wasn't cut out to be a thief. I was cut out to be a salesman. And now I'm back, and I got my balls back...and, you know, John, you have the advantage on me now: Whatever it takes to make it right, we'll make it right. We're going to make it right. WILLIAMSON I want to tell you something, Shelly. You have a big mouth. Pause. LEVENE What? WILLIAMSON You've got a big mouth, and now I'm going to show you an even bigger one. (starts toward the Detective's door) LEVENE Where are you going, John?...you can't do that, you don't want to do that...hold, hold on...hold on... wait...wait...wait... (pulls money out of his pockets) Wait...uh, look... (starts splitting money) Look, twelve, twenty, two, twen... twenty-five hundred, it's...take it. (pause) Take it all... (pause) Take it! WILLIAMSON No, I don't think so, Shel. LEVENE I... WILLIAMSON No, I think I don't want your money. I think you f**ed up my office. And I think you're going away. LEVENE I...what? Are you, are you, that's why...? Are you nuts? I'm...I'm going to close for you, I'm going to... (thrusting money at him) Here, here, I'm going to make this office...I'm going to be back there Number One...Hey, hey, hey! This is only the beginning...List...list... listen. Listen. Just one moment. List...here's what...here's what we're going to do. Twenty percent. I'm going to give you twenty percent of my sales... (pause) Twenty percent. (pause) For as long as I am with the firm. (pause) Fifty percent. (pause) You're going to be my partner. (pause) Fifty percent. Of all my sales. WILLIAMSON What sales? LEVENE What sales...? I just closed eighty-two grand...Are you f**in'...I'm back...I'm back, this is only the beginning. WILLIAMSON Only the beginning... LEVENE Abso... WILLIAMSON Where have you been, Shelly? Bruce and Harriet Nyborg. Do you want to see the memos...? They're nuts... they used to call in every week. When I was with Webb. And we were selling Arizona...they're nuts...did you see how they were living? How can you delude yours... LEVENE I've got the check... WILLIAMSON Forget it. Frame it. It's worthless. Pause. LEVENE The check's no good? WILLIAMSON You stick around I'll pull the memo for you. (starts for the door) I'm busy now... LEVENE Their check's no good? They're nuts...? WILLIAMSON Call up the bank. I called them. LEVENE You did? WILLIAMSON I called them when we had the lead... four months ago. (pause) The people are insane. They just like talking to salesmen. Williamson starts for door. LEVENE Don't. WILLIAMSON I'm sorry. LEVENE Why? WILLIAMSON Because I don't like you. LEVENE John: John:...my daughter... WILLIAMSON f** you. Roma comes out of the Detective's door. Williamson goes in.
