Quotes 

• Chris Varick : [Over the phone]  Hi Dr. Jacobs this is Chris marlin over at JT Marlin

  Dr. Jacobs : Marlin?

  Chris Varick : [Another broker turns on the speaker phone]  Right, his my father, so my associate tells me you're interested in one of our stocks?

  Dr. Jacobs : Yes, MSC sounds like it might be interesting

  Chris Varick : Might be? "Might be" doesn't sell stock at the rate MSC is going for, we're talking a very high volume here

  Dr. Jacobs : Well, I still have to run it by my people

  Chris Varick : That's great doc if you want to miss another opportunity and watch your colleagues get rich doing clinical trials that don't buy a share and hang up the phone

  Dr. Jacobs : Hold on I didn't say that I just want to talk about this more

  Chris Varick : Honestly doc I don't have the time this stock is blowing up right now the whole firm is going nuts, hold on let me open the door to my office

  [signals everyone to yell and make noise] 

  Chris Varick : See that doc? That's my trading floor now I have a million calls to make to a million doctors who are in the no, I can't walk you through this I'm sorry

  [waiting and expecting a response] 

  Dr. Jacobs : Ok, let's do this

  Chris Varick : Since you're a new account I can't go any higher than two thousand shares I'm sorry

  Dr. Jacobs : Two thousand shares? Are you nuts? That's way beyond what I was thinking, Jesus! I'm curious why can't you sell me any more than that?

  Chris Varick : We'd like to establish a relationship with our clients on something small before we get to the more serious trades, let me show you couple percentage points then we can talk about doing future business

  Dr. Jacobs : That sounds good, give me the two thousand shares

  Chris Varick : Done, I promise we'll swing for fences on the next one, let me put my secretary on and she'll take down your info, do you want that confirmation sent to your office or your mansion? It was a pleasure doing business
