Randolph Duke : We are ‘commodities brokers,’ William. Now, what are commodities? Commodities are agricultural products... like coffee that you had for breakfast... wheat, which is used to make bread... pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a ‘bacon, lettuce and tomato’ sandwich.

[Billy Ray turns and gives a long look at the camera]

Randolph Duke : Randolph

[continuing]

Randolph Duke : And then there are other commodities, like frozen orange juice... and GOLD. Though, of course, gold doesn’t grow on trees like oranges.

[chuckles]

Randolph Duke : Clear so far?

Billy Ray : [nodding and smiling, even though it ISN’T clear to him] Yeah.

Randolph Duke : Good, William! Now, some of our clients are speculating that the price of gold will rise in the future. And we have other clients who are speculating that the price of gold will fall. They place their orders with us, and we buy or sell their gold for them.

Mortimer Duke : Tell him the good part.

Randolph Duke : The good part, William, is that, no matter whether our clients make money or lose money, Duke & Duke get the commissions.

Mortimer Duke : Well? What do you think, Valentine?

Billy Ray : Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies.

Randolph Duke : [chuckling, patting Billy Ray on the back] I told you he’d understand.
