His "new money" lifestyle is at odds with the "old money" mindset of Hudson's character, Bick Benedict. Rink makes a pass Bick's wife, played by Elizabeth Taylor, and otherwise defies Bick. Bitterness ensues between the two men and lasts for decades. Thirty years later, the ego-driven Rink is at the top of his financial empire.

Jett, who is drunk, in confronted by Bick's son, Jordy (played by Dennis Hopper) whose sister has been seeing the much-older Jett. While Jordy is restrained by Jett's bodyguards, Jett mercilessly delivers a smashing uppercut to his jaw. Bick is enraged and calls Jett out of the room, to the wine celler, for a fight. Jett cowers before Bick, who announces, "Jett, you want to know something that's true? You're all through." Jett staggers back into the banquet hall, collapses into the chair of honor, and rambles openly about his lifetime of regrets. The crowd disipates at the sight of the disgraced tycoon.
