Levene is a once-successful salesman in a long-running slump and with a daughter in the hospital. Richard Roma tries to manipulate a meek, middle-aged man named James Lingk into buying a property. Moss proposes that they strike back by stealing all the Glengarry leads and selling them to a competing agency. Moss’s plan requires Aaronow to break into the office, stage a burglary and steal all of the prime leads. Levene, proud of a massive sale he made that morning, takes the opportunity to mock Williamson in private.
In his zeal to humiliate Williamson, he mentions that Williamson lied about cashing the check. Levene attempts to bribe Williamson with a share of his sales to keep quiet. Williamson coldly responds, “Because I don’t like you”.
