We are here to TRY to explain to you what it is we DO here.Randolph Duke:We are 'Commodities brokers,' William. Now, what are Commodities? Commodities are agricultural products... like coffee that you had for breakfast... wheat, which is used to make bread... pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a 'bacon, lettuce and tomato' sandwich.Randolph Duke:RandolphRandolph Duke:And then there are other Commodities, like frozen orange juice... and GOLD. Though, of course, gold doesn't grow on trees like oranges.Randolph Duke:Clear so far?Billy Ray: Yeah.Randolph Duke:Good, William!

They place their orders with us, and we buy or sell their gold for them.Mortimer Duke:Tell him the good part.Randolph Duke:The good part, William, is that, no matter whether our clients make money or lose money, Duke & Duke get the commissions.Mortimer Duke:Well? What do you think, Valentine?Billy Ray:Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies.Randolph Duke: I told you he'd understand
