Ozark, Season 2

Marty Byrde:
Since when is it prudent to try to off your partners before a deal is even finalized? I must have missed that issue of the Harvard Business Review.

Helen Pierce:
I told you, the cartel is gonna do what the cartel is gonna do.

Marty Byrde:
Right.

Helen Pierce:
Your job was to find a way to make this deal without the Snells.

Marty Byrde:
I was in the middle of trying to figure out if that's even possible.

Helen Pierce:
I did not say it was done. The Snells poisoned my client's product. My client couldn't allow such brazen disrespect without a proportional response.

Wendy Byrde:
We completely understand your client's need for respect.

Marty Byrde:
Are you fucking kidding me?

Wendy Byrde:
Marty...

Marty Byrde:
I mean, your client's little ego trip just completely fucked us. It fucked the casino, and he pissed away $50 million.

Helen Pierce:
It wasn't my decision. I wasn't even informed of it.

Wendy Byrde:
How do we salvage this?

Helen Pierce:
Find a way to immediately cut the Snells out of this deal.

Marty Byrde:
We're not salvaging shit.

Helen Pierce:
It's the first law of power, Marty. Those who can, shit on others. Those who can't, clean it up.

Marty Byrde:
I'm not playing your fucking games anymore.

Helen Pierce:
You don't have an option.

Marty Byrde:
Neither do you. And neither does your client, if he wants to keep his $50 million. You think I'm the only one over a fucking barrel?

Helen Pierce:
Clean up your own shit.

Wendy Byrde:
He'll do it.
