SCENE 4
AN ORGY OF SPECULATION
Fastow's gone over and analysed the interactions he had with the other characters in scene one, he strolls into this scene feeling on top of the world filled fuelled with confidence and maybe a little arrogance.
Jeff has been chosen as president over Roe
Traders talk about Fastow - What others think about Fastow
The animalistic, brutish world of trading holds no place for people like Fastow, like everywhere he doesn't quite fit in.
The scene is quick, snappy, testosterone fuelled, violent and ruthless.
Previous Circumstance - Just before Fastow enters he is given an instruction by Skilling or one od Skillings' assistanta.
"Fastow gets to go"- (Skillings death weekend)
"lapdog motherfucker"
"double-breasted douchebag"
a clear sense that they think Fastow isn't capable of the responsibility
His relationship with Jeff Skilling has probably developed professionally but Fastow takes it as personally
It's ironic that when he develops a bit of a bite and becomes a little more malicious like the others, it only isolates him further. Before he was just an invisible entity (ha) now he's a potential threat to the peking order.
Fastows inability to balance jokes and seriousness
Where does he go when he leaves - off to escape the crowd and figure out how he's going to avoid skilling or how he can make it up to him.
He leaves this scene establishing a new found self belief (i will be CFO)
