00:09 The market plunge was sharp and swift.
00:11 Well, the tech sector took yet another beating this week,
00:14 but there were a few winners, most notably Landshark.
00:16 What does it cost to lease the G5?
00:18 A million a month.
00:19 You want the gold, you go ahead and get it.
00:21 The market confidence in Landshark
00:22 has been extraordinarily high.
00:23 The real question is, where will these guys
00:25 be six months from now?
00:27 We'll be right here.
00:29 You, Landshark, what do you actually do?
00:32 What the net is supposed to do, what new broadband
00:35 is supposed to do, is increase freedom, is increase choice.
00:39 Why the hell would somebody give you a million dollars?
00:42 Add two zeros, and that's what we're talking about.
00:44 You did it!
00:45 Tell me how it feels.
00:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:50 Four weeks from now, if we don't get any cash coming in,
00:52 we're going to be underwater.
00:54 So what are our options?
00:55 Cutbacks, layoffs, but then there's
00:56 the whole perception thing.
00:58 No, that's not the play.
00:59 That's not the way we're going to do it.
01:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:03 I know money, man.
01:04 If we could just make it from here to there,
01:06 these next few weeks, there's a pile of money just waiting for us.
01:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:12 It's a matter of negotiation, Mr. Sterling.
01:14 This is our offer.
01:15 We don't much like the way you conduct your business.
01:19 I trusted you.
01:21 For you, this is all a game or something.
01:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:28 This is no time to be proud, Tom.
01:30 I still believe in Lion Shark.
01:32 This will take more than smoking mirrors.
01:34 You and Melanie just have to have a little bit of faith.
