[indistinct chatter]

- Thank you, Salim.
- [Salim] Mm-hmm.

All right. So let's
get started, huh?

Human capital.

Can anybody tell
me what that means?

Diana.

To me, it means keeping people
around so you can use them.

Okay. Give me an example.

Uh, let's take my
family, for instance.

The minute I wasn't
useful to them,

they didn't wanna have
anything to do with me.

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks.

[Bennet] Any other
perspectives?

Perhaps from the
assigned reading.

Thomas.

Human capital is
the economic value

of a worker's skills
and experience

to their employer.

So you're saying that
those with less access

to those requisites
are less valued.

And those with access get
to abuse everyone else

due to their lack of options.

[Thomas] I guess you'd
know all about that, right?

How many people has
your family used

to get your name
on the auditorium

or you in that seat?

I don't think my
family was a topic

in the assigned reading.

Shouldn't we be asking if
anyone can actually be used?

You know, in capitalism,
all work is contractual.

People get paid based
on what they contribute.

You know, even if
it's a small amount,

it's still more than what
they could do for themselves.

But what if it's a lie?

Like when someone tells you
something isn't valuable

just so they can take
it for themselves?

Ooh, now, that shit
sounds hella personal.

Well, I agree it's in a
corporation's best interest

to never let a worker know
how much they're worth.

Damn, that's messed up
because workers will just

undercut each other for a job.

Like you undercut me for
that Tate internship.

[scoffs] Excuse me?

Look, Tate said no.
Then he said yes.

You want answers, you
need to look inside first.

Okay, okay.

It may get personal in here,

but it will always
be respectful.

Understood?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes.

Okay. Let's get back on topic.

Okay, Salim, but you

that's not who I am.

Google me to find out.

Nah, girl, this little-ass check

ain't nothing to celebrate.

But...

where'd you get it?

I heard things
dried up around here

after your brother and all.

Yeah, that's what both
he and Effie told me,

but no way this isn't them.

Facts.

I don't know who they
think they fooling.

[Becca] Yeah.

[Brayden] Yeah,
this place is part

of the Weston portfolio.

I-I went into the database
and just listed it as leased.

We're good. Can we please talk

about how we're gonna
move all this product?

What's that legal drug
these motherfuckers

bring into every
building on Wall Street

every single day?

I don't know.
Ritalin? Adderall?

No, nigga. Caffeine.

Okay, so they're running coffee.

Who the fuck cares?

Yeah, we're gonna
do the same thing.

We run our product
through coffee orders.

We send our delivery boys
with cups with false bottoms

with the product right in there.

They can walk right in.

Okay, but we can't just kill

every drug dealer
on Wall Street.

They'll know
there's competition.

Obviously we can't do that,

but we can sell better
product at a better price...

Undercut the competition,
maneuver their customers.

The rate that we'll be
moving all of this shit,

we won't even notice
a dip in the profit.

Okay, I like it, but
how do we collect?

I mean, all those
individual orders,

exposed bullpens...

You know hand-to-hands
are a bitch.

Hmm.

Yeah, you right. I don't know.

Shit can't get too sticky.

Maybe we make them
pay online, but...

What, with credit cards?

You know what?

I think I actually might
have an idea, but...

[sighs] ...dare I say
it, we're gonna have

to talk to our partners
about this one.

[Tariq] Yeah, it's just like
a Wall Street CourseCorrect,

but instead of tutoring,

we sell the
motherfuckers coffee.

People make their orders online,

and we deliver
straight to their desks

with our product
hidden in the cups.

Nice work, Tariq.

Making them real Starbucks now.

- [Tariq] Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles]

But if any of these
Wall Street niggas

decide to use their credit card,

that can lead right
back to Flat White

and Macchiato here.

Well, that's why we keep
those transactions separate.

First they buy our
crypto coins online.

One dollar equals one coin.

I mean, no one's gonna blink

at investors speculating, right?

Once the coin's bought,

it remains completely anonymous.

Then they use that coin to
buy coffee through the app.

If anything's traced,
it'll just lead back

to our investors at CrashCoin.

The best part is,

the money's already
fuckin' laundered.

And if any of them
decides to talk,

you gonna handle
that, right, Belfort?

And not ask one of us to do it.

I mean, these guys
are low-key criminals.

All they really care
about is the percentage.

They're not gonna talk.

Listen, we got our shit handled.

while I'm still
