THE PEACE TRADE

Fictional scene. Not real events.

INT. AXE CAPITAL - TRADING FLOOR - 2:47 A.M.

A dark floor. Rows of dead monitors. One wall alive. Fourteen screens washing the room green and red.

BOBBY AXELROD alone at a terminal. Sleeves rolled. Typing fast.

On the wall: the defense sector, bleeding red since the afternoon. On his blotter: BUY. BUY. BUY.

The elevator opens. CHUCK RHOADES steps out. Coat on. No briefcase.

CHUCK There's a ceasefire, Bobby. Ink's still wet. The whole world exhaled tonight.
AXE (still typing) They make push notifications for that.

CHUCK I came from the consulate dinner. Diplomats weeping into the Burgundy. And somewhere between the toasts I caught myself thinking, what if the eagle and the dragon actually pull it off? (beat) What a world to hand our kids.
Axe stops typing. Swivels. Almost smiles.
AXE They are getting along.

CHUCK (laughs, then doesn't) Getting along. Tariffs. Chips embargoed. Warships playing chicken in somebody else's strait. The world's decoupling like a bad marriage, and you're calling it a love story?
AXE You ever watch wrestling, Chuck? Two guys scream bloody murder, put each other through folding tables, sell out every arena in America. (leans back) Then they ride the same bus to the next town and split the gate. There's a word for it.
CHUCK Kayfabe.
AXE Kayfabe. The rivalry is the product. The business is shared.

CHUCK What business?

AXE Pop quiz. The eagle's disease. Name it.
CHUCK Debt. Thirty-seven trillion, compounding like a mob loan.

AXE And how do you retire a debt that can't be paid?
CHUCK You don't. You inflate it away. Oldest tax there is. No vote, no bill, no fingerprints. Rome shaved silver from the denarius. We use a keystroke.

AXE Now the dragon.

CHUCK Mirror image. Property's a mausoleum. Half the nation's savings entombed in empty towers. Consumption's flatlining. Prices falling.
AXE The word.
CHUCK Deflation.
AXE Cure?

CHUCK ...Inflation.
A beat. Chuck hears it.

CHUCK Same word. I just prescribed the same goddamn word to both patients. (recovering) So they print. They stimulate. They...
AXE Last question. Five thousand years. Pharaohs to presidents. What's the one machine that has never failed to produce inflation? Not printing. Printing pushes on a string. The thing that eats supply, swallows labor, and sets every price on fire in the same afternoon?

Silence. The screens tick.
CHUCK You can't be suggesting...

AXE I'm not suggesting anything. I'm asking a question.
Long pause. Rain on the glass.

CHUCK (almost a whisper) War.

Axe swivels back to the terminal. Resumes typing. The blotter fills. Line after line.
AXE Thank you, my friend.
CHUCK And the ceasefire?

AXE (eyes on the tape) Intermission.
Chuck stands in the dark, coat still on. On the wall, the eagle and the dragon rise and fall together. Like one lung.

FADE TO BLACK.

La Luna Nueva de Libra de hoy, 21 de octubre, marca el final oficial de la temporada de eclipses y nos susurra que  la verdadera paz y armonía no se construye ignorando lo que duele, sino teniendo el valor de cerrar los ciclos cuyo precio es la anulación propia. A veces, el acto más equilibrado es declarar: “Mi paz vale más que este desgaste”.

Del equilibrio a la transformación (Waldo Casal): Luna Nueva en Libra e ingreso del Sol en Escorpio marcan un cambio energético. https://t.co/92xmRm7SFX // 🙌

Escorpio: No concentres tus energías en gente que no suma para tu presente. Ese miedo no tiene fundamento, tenés que animarte y avanzar.

Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to just stop caring.

When someone brings more problems to your life than happiness, it's time to show them the door where they can exit..
