* Billy Ray proves he can do the commodities game by using his own street smarts to determine how the price of a certain commodity will drop or not. He saves Duke and Duke a fortune, much to the two brothers' astonishment.
-->'''Randolph:''' Tell me just why you think the price of pork bellies is going down, William? \\
'''Valentine:''' It's Christmastime. Everybody's uptight. \\
'''Mortimer:''' Could we please buy now Randolph? \\
'''Valentine:''' Alright, but if you want to lose money, go ahead. \\
'''Randolph:''' What are you trying to say, William? \\
'''Valentine:''' Ok, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means everybody's sittin' in the office waitin' for them to hit rock bottom so they can buy cheap and go long. So people who own the pork belly contracts are going batshit, thinking, "Hey, we're losin' all that damn money and Christmas is around the corner and I ain't got no money to buy my son a GI Joe with the kung fu grip, and my wife ain't gonna [[CurseCutShort f- *beat*...make love to me]] because I ain't got no money." So they sit, man, they panic and they screaming, "Sell! Sell!" Because they don't want to lose all their money. They are out there panicking right now. I can feel it. Look at them. \\
'''Randolph:''' He's right, Mortimer. My God, look at it! \\
'''Valentine:''' I'd wait until you get to about 64, then I'd buy. You'll have cleared out all the suckers by then. \\
'''Randolph:''' (''astonished'') Do you realise how much money he just saved us?! \\
'''Mortimer:''' Money isn't everything, Randolph! \\
'''Randolph:''' (''picks up phone and calls'') Advise our clients interested in bellies to buy at 64. (''turns to Valentine with a smile'') Mr. Valentine has set the price. (''hangs up'') Well done, William. Very well done.
* Louis and Billy Ray's revenge scheme is both ruthless and brilliant in its planning. Step by step:
** They steal the orange crop report from Beeks, with a little help from Coleman, Ophelia, and an angry gorilla.
** Billy Ray impersonates Beeks, gives the Dukes a fake report that says the year's harvest will be a bad one, and tricks them into paying him for it.
** The Dukes' trader starts buying juice futures in an attempt to corner the market and drive up the price later.
** Other traders get in on the action, sending the price higher.
** Once Louis and Billy Ray figure the price has gone about as high as it can, they start short-selling futures -- that is, making commitments to sell juice at a later date even though they don't actually possess any at the moment.
--->'''Louis:''' SELL 200 APRIL AT 142!!
** When the real crop report is broadcast, showing no effect on the orange harvest, the price starts to plummet. Louis and Billy Ray have known about this, so they wait until the price has bottomed out, then start buying futures from everyone except the Dukes' trader in order to cover their earlier selling obligations.
** Once trading closes for the day, Louis and Billy Ray have made a fortune -- using some of the Dukes' own money! -- and the Dukes have lost $394 million. The pair get in one final swipe on their way out:
--->'''Louis''': Happy New Year!
--->'''Randolph''': Winthorpe.
--->'''Mortimer''': Valentine.
--->'''Billy Ray''': ''(to the astonished Dukes)'' Hey! How'd y'all make out today?
--->'''Mortimer''': How could you do this to us after everything we've done for you?
--->'''Billy Ray''': Oh, see, I made Louis a bet here! See, Louis bet me that we couldn't both get rich and put y'all in the poorhouse at the same time. He didn't think we could do it. I won.
--->'''Louis''': I lost. [[IronicEcho One dollar!]] ''(Produces a $1 bill and hands it to Billy Ray)''
--->'''Billy Ray''': Thank you, Louis.
** Since Louis and Billy Ray have bought just as much juice as they short-sold, they don't have to worry about taking delivery of any juice or needing to store it. They just have the suppliers deliver it directly to the buyers, then pocket the price difference.
