• Sean Ambrose : How quickly can you manufacture more of the antivirus?

  John C. McCloy : No time at all, once I've got it.

  Sean Ambrose : Good. Biocyte's stock is just a few weeks away from going through the roof!

  John C. McCloy : What are you talking about?

  Sean Ambrose : An outbreak of Chimera.

  John C. McCloy : Where?

  Sean Ambrose : Downtown Sydney... for a start. You create the supply, Mr. McCloy; we've just created the demand! Three million people in Sydney, and seventeen million people in Australia are going to need Bellerophon within the next few days, not to mention the rest of the world. Now, this is how it's going to work. Wallis, the shares outstanding are?

  Wallis : 93.4 million.

  Sean Ambrose : Which means, Mr. McCloy, we need to get our hands on 480,000 stock options. We'll borrow your $30 million to buy those options. Your stock has never sold above $31 a share. When your stock goes north of 200, which it will, those shares will be worth billions, and I will own 51% of Biocyte!

  John C. McCloy : This is outrageous. I will not let you take control of my company.

  Sean Ambrose : Sit down. You'll be a billionaire. It's better than being broke. I have terrorists and... other pharmaceutical companies standing in line. The ball's in your court, Mr. McCloy.
