Sure there are a few clips, slow motion plays and old news footage but nothing shown from Pitt's Beane' point of view.

The scene helped establish Hanna immediately. McConaughey only appears in a handful of scenes, but this lunch is essentially Jordan's introduction to the Wall Street lifestyle he's about to embrace....
