Greg Ellis: Sheldon Hoffman

Quotes 

• Sheldon Hoffman : How the hell did you get in here? What the fuck is going on?

  The Confessor : Mr. Hoffman, I don't want any trouble, please. I represent a man who's invested money with you.

  Sheldon Hoffman : A lot of people invested money with me.

  The Confessor : He invested a great deal.

  Sheldon Hoffman : So?

  The Confessor : He wants it back.

  Sheldon Hoffman : [laughing]  Sure, I'll just write you a check, shall I?

  The Confessor : I wish you would take this seriously. My employer takes this very seriously.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Fuck you. You don't think I know who sent you? Why don't you run back to your employer and tell him that hell will freeze over before he sees a dime?

  The Confessor : This isn't how you want to handle this.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Oh, it's exactly how I want to handle this.

  The Confessor : Then you're making a mistake.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Who the hell do you think you are? Do you have any idea who the fuck I am?

  The Confessor : Yes, I do. I also know exactly what's gonna happen if you don't do what I ask. I'm giving you a chance, a chance that I promise if you do not take right now, you will regret.

• Sheldon Hoffman : You really think you're gonna walk in here and threaten me?

  The Confessor : Mr. Hoffman, "threat" is an ugly word. I prefer to think of this as me giving you an opportunity, an opportunity, unfortunately, I can already see you're too fucking stupid to take.

  [from Hoffman's look, his security guard sucker-punches the Confessor in the stomach] 

  Sheldon Hoffman : Well, I'm gonna give you an opportunity. An opportunity to walk out of here before I have your legs broken.

  The Confessor : I think it's only fair that I warn you. My employer knows about your offshore accounts. He's already making moves to freeze your assets.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Bullshit.

  The Confessor : Check for yourself.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Get the hell out. And tell that piece of shit you work for the next time he sends someone 'round here, I'll throw him through the fucking window.

• The Confessor : Put these on.

  Sheldon Hoffman : [handcuffing himself]  Please. We can work this out.

  The Confessor : Shut up.

  [taking Hoffman over to his computer] 

  The Confessor : Client list.

  Sheldon Hoffman : What?

  The Confessor : I want your client list, bring it up! Do it now.

  [Hoffman does so] 

  The Confessor : Sarah Aaronson, $150,000.

  Sheldon Hoffman : What?

  The Confessor : Sarah Aaronson, $150,000. You're giving the money back. You remember that moment I told you about earlier? The opportunity that you can look back on and wish you'd taken? This is it. Sarah Aaronson, $150,000. Wire it back to her.

  [Hoffmand does] 

  The Confessor : Barry Anderson, $2 million.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Look, I'm sure we can work something out. Let me pay your boss' money back and give you something on the side, please.

  The Confessor : Barry Anderson, $2 million!

  Sheldon Hoffman : This money is all I have to bargain with the government, please!

  The Confessor : James Atkins.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Come on!

  The Confessor : James Atkins, $173,000. Stephen Galway, $128,000. Steven Geller, $73,000.

  Sheldon Hoffman : Please, you're taking all of my money!

  The Confessor : It was never your money.

• Sheldon Hoffman : [forced to return money he stole from investors]  You're not gonna kill me?

  The Confessor : I just did.
