Boiler Room (2000) Edit

A commission. That's why we work here.

A double scotch on the rocks.

A good hour from the New York Stock Exchange.

A guy says, "Call me tomorrow"? Bullshit!

A lot of trainees are so anxious to get off the phone...

A pharmaceutical company, Farrow Tech...

A piker asks how much vacation you get in the first year. Vacation?

A sale is made on every call you make.

A salesman among salesmen.

A senior broker who's a little more familiar with that particular stock.

A senior broker's gonna call them back with an idea.

A two dollar rip, which is unheard of anywhere on Wall Street...

Abby, can you come in here for a second?

Act as if you are the president of this firm.

Act as if you got a nine inch cock. Act as if.

Actually, I've been married for ten years.

After you're done training, you take the Series Seven.

All right, that's it. It's over.

All right, yeah. You know what I fuckin' hate?

All right? Hold on a second. One second.

All right.

All right. All right, so... Look, why don't you do this?

All right. At the house. Sheryl. Yes!

All right. Here's the deal.

All right. How much you want?

All right. I gotta get back to that phone call, but...

All right. I wanna talk to you guys about appearance.

All right. Let's try it.

All right. Place your bets.

All right. Place your bets.

All right. So I got into it.

All right. That's it. I am out of here in three seconds...

All right. What is it? What do you want from me?

All that bullshit about them...

All the profits you made for your customers?

All you're doing is investing it. I'm not selling crack here.

Am I? I'm not trying to...

And about your mother's health.

And be aggressive. Learn how to push.

And be relentless. That's it. I'm done.

And bust. Sorry about that.

And buy yourselves a new car.

And dump 'em on the open market and make his money back.

And feel completely comfortable about the trade.

And finally...

And find out from the inside if the books are cooked.

And for the first time in my life, I see how much my father loved me.

And get those kids out of my fuckin'house.

And God forbid the stock should go up.

And Greg Weinstein, $190,000.

And guess how old I am. Twenty seven.

And had him pick me up 50,000 shares under my sister in law's name.

And have your rebuttals ready.

And he comes around the car, and he sees me lying there.

And he slaps me across the face.

And he wasn't a whale.

And he'll trust you to watch his kids for the weekend.

And he's gonna do an obscene amount of business with this firm.

And he's gonna walk.

And he's like, "Not interested. Bye." That's a shitty lead, okay?

And he's not the reason, Greg.

And I am deadly serious about that. Dead fuckin' serious!

And I didn't do it again. Much simpler.

And I don't want to, but you gotta get yourself at least one decent suit...

And I just got this new bike.

And I know that I'm not working at Goldman Sachs...

And I landed behind this parked car.

And I made up his mind for him.

And I mean that.

And I need that tomorrow. That is all.

And I push them something they never asked for.

And I ran it pretty fuckin' well, Dad!

And I tried... I tried to make the changes that you wanted me to!

And I was laying there for a good half hour.

And I was so happy...

And I'm associated with you, what do you think will happen to me?

And I'm just testing this guy out.

And I'm leaving J.T. Now!

And I'm skidding out in this puddle like Starsky and Hutch.

And I'm telling you, we'll never have to ask for it again.

And I'm telling you, you will never have to ask for it again.

And if he doesn't send the check, I'm the one holding the bag, follow me?

And if you're right and she's so loyal to you...

And it could be tomorrow for all I know.

And it's always the same half assed attempt.

And it's...

And just to show you how appreciative I am...

And let him take it for a ride.

And not a clue what to do with it.

And now we're gonna lose the house.

And said, "Welcome to the club."

And that a senior broker's gonna call them back in a month.

And that's exactly what I wanted to do... get in.

And that's what I remember.

And the casino... The casino was a fucking business...

And the pedal spins around hard enough to break my leg.

And the profits are down 40% since the last week I was here full time.

And then I got this job 'cause I thought it was what you wanted me to be doing!

And then some kid started sneaking in additional funds.

And then we'll talk about doing future business.

And then when the next I.P.O. Comes out...

And then you and I can talk like normal people, all right?

And then you can go to school during the day and work at night.

And then you question it the minute you see something a bit off.

And then you show up at my daughter's confirmation.

And then you turn on the TV, and there's just more of it.

And there is no such thing as a no sale call.

And they can talk to you about it.

And they can't even get a fucking car loan 'cause their credit's so bad.

And they're always living three steps ahead.

And to do that properly, you need to at least look the part.

And watch your colleagues get rich doing clinical trials.

And we have the most reliable delivery in the city.

And we're making, like, four times that?

And we're trying to save every last penny.

And what the fuck is with the suits? You look like you're on Gotti's crew.

And why would they be walking into the building next door?

And you can ask any one of my customers.

And you can split your share with him, which I'll up to 65%...

And you open accounts for your team leader.

And you still can't fuckin' handle it?

And you want to do what?

And you will too, believe me.

And you're never gonna hear the end of it.

And you're real busy over there...

And, no, you're only gonna work for me a short time.

And, you know, make you some money.

Another share of stock for the rest of our lives.

Anybody tells you money is the root of all evil doesn't fuckin' have any.

Anything. Just get a "yes" out of 'em.

Anyway, I look up at him...

Anyway, that's stuff you'll have to learn later.

Anyway, the point is, I had to adapt to this new world.

Are you gonna release the tape to the press?

Are you listening to me?

Are you that fucking bitter?

Are you working with a million dollars in the market now?

As a matter of fact, Farrow's been doing nothing but signing more contracts.

As long as there's no connection between the investors and the firm.

As soon as we sell off his position...

Ask 'em how they'd like to see 30, 40% returns.

Ask 'em rhetorical questions. It doesn't matter.

At least I can make sure you don't get caught.

Average client's 45 years old, from the Midwest...

Basically, it's a way to raise capital...

Bear Stearns can call the S.E.C. They can't find any dirt on us.

Because all I wanted to do was make your pain disappear.

Because he depends on us to literally create the market for him.

Because it doesn't seem like the ideal working environment for a black woman.

Because Jeff tanked my fucking gold mine.

Because of my involvement in this firm.

Because we have a minimum level of aesthetic professionalism here...

Because you had the foresight to see a good thing coming.

Because you see value. I am your kids' college fund, for chrissakes.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, just what are you offering?

Before we start, I have one question. Has anyone passed a Series Seven exam?

Before you take the Series Seven, but it's a great system.

Besides, the first sell just whets the appetite.

Besides, the other day you looked a little frazzled...

Big swinging dick, enjoy it while it lasts.

Blew my mind.

Bob. Bob, be rude. Hang up the phone.

Booked. Booked. I got a hundred against.

Booked. Someone cover Greg. Cover Greg.

Boy, you gotta get ahold of that edge. It's kinda sharp.

Bring it up for the kid. Highest Series Seven score this month.

But at least I can make sure you don't get caught.

But don't tell me you can't put together 2,500 bucks."

But for now get something to hold you over.

But he loves you, Seth.

But he made a second trade a week after I opened him.

But I gotta tell you, man, this is risky fuckin' business.

But I hate to turn away a new customer.

But I thought this was, like, an interview?

But I was focused.

But I'll take it. I mean...

But I'm asking you to start small just to prove what I can do for you.

But I'm not some 18 year old selling the cure for Al DS. I am 46 years old.

But if we can do something good like this, it's all the better.

But if you really want this...

But it wasn't Wall Street.

But loves a hotshot New Yorker who sounds good on the phone.

But Michael's fronting his friends as the investors on every I.P.O. We do.

But more importantly, we made a commitment to get back to you.

But most all brokers usually start out in little firms like J.T. Marlin.

But part of me had to know what Michael was doing in there the week before.

But that's not really interesting conversation.

But that's your 40th account.

But the Daily News offers you something no other paper can... a taste of New York.

But these guys were macking it hard.

But this putz is telling me, you know, "Uh, 100 shares."

But we already know that.

But we have this company that's going to market in about a week or so.

But you cannot keep going back and forth like this. It's ridiculous.

But you forbid it, then you use it against me.

But you happen to suck big, fat ass rhinoceros dick.

But, I mean, how does that really affect me?

But, you know, I'm getting ahead of myself...

But... I mean... Who gives a shit?

By delaying, you simply restrict my ability to do my job.

Call your local broker and short the stock.

Can I change your mind about doing the I.P.O. Scheme?

Can you buy a bigger bed when you get some money, please?

Can you get the fuck out of my office?

Change your last name. Say you're the fuckin' vice president.

Chris Varick, $205,000;

Chris, I got arrested last night.

Chris, the F.B.I. Are gonna raid the place in 20 minutes.

Clean up your life, make an honest living...

Clients who've been with me six months...

Come on, Chris. Come on. What's the difference?

Come on, Chris. You know what that means.

Come on, man.

Come on, Mike. I told you you gotta hit the table. Sixteen.

Come on.

Come on. Shotgun.

Could you hold on for one second?

Damn. Who you gotta ass fuck to get a ten around here?

Did you do anything for them? Did you make them any money at all?

Didn't take me long to close the 40 accounts.

Didn't you learn anything?

Do me a favor. Shut your fucking mouth. Okay? I'm not talking to you.

Do we have the same security guy or what?

Do you ever wonder how we make the rips that we do?

Do you guys think you could just try and keep it down some?

Do you know how good it feels to close someone?

Do you know that?

Do you remember this day?

Do you remember what happened about a month after that?

Do you remember when I broke... when I broke my leg?

Do you understand what that means?

Do you wanna wait till after dinner to talk about it?

Do you want that confirmation sent to your office or your mansion?

Does she call you to find out if she can use a coupon for Cap'n Crunch?

Don't be a dick. You know you can bend the rules.

Don't get nervous. If you study, you'll pass.

Don't tell me that's why I'm not hitting it anymore.

Don't touch the cards. Don't touch the cards.

Don't you ever forget that, bitch.

Don't you have to go answer the phones or something?

Don't you know that S.E.C. Regulations state...

Done and done.

Ear to ear, baby. You want details? Fine.

Earning a living? This what you call earning a living?

Either way, a sale is made.

Either you sell the client some stock, or he sells you on a reason he can't.

Everybody quiet down for a second. All right. Hold on.

Everything. Hey, don't get me wrong here.

Except you're making more money than you did before.

Fend them off of me, you know?

Fine, fine. I'm gonna take you off my list of successful people.

Fine.

Fine.

First of all, I am not done with you here, all right?

First of all, I don't even know this guy Reynard.

First of all, there's gonna be a lot of these regardless of how good you are...

First senior broker who gets on the horn gets the sale.

For a company that's trying to go public.

For any of you not yet convinced...

For me, it'd be worth going to jail for.

For what? I didn't say anything. Are you skimming?

Four employees, an organized payroll, huge client list.

French Riviera. It's on tonight.

Friends, parents, other brokers, they're gonna give you shit.

From the last I.P.O. The firm put out.

Fuck Greg! Let's fuckin' deal with...

Fuck him. Come on.

Fuck them! Fuck 'em!

Fuck, Seth!

Fuck! Can't win a fuckin' hand tonight!

Fuck! I gotta deal with this guy now?

Fuck.

Fuckin' Hebrews. Always lookin' out for themselves and never the trainees.

Fuckin' kid took a 1/4 million dollar hit.

Fuckin' Moyshe.

George, get me a coffee. Thanks.

Get going.

Get him back on the phone and explain the situation to him.

Get off your ass! Move around! Motion creates emotion!

Get on the phone! No one is gonna unload today, you hear me? No one.

Get out of the car, please.

Get the fuck outta here before I put you in a mayonnaise jar, okay?

Get the fuck outta here, fuckin' cocksucker.

Get the fuck outta here. What? What?

Get the job that you wanted me to have.

Give him 10,000 shares.

Giving the Queens College kids something to do between classes.

Go buy yourself a house. Go into debt.

Go make me a latke, dreidel boy. Abrams, look me up on the board.

Go on. Tell me.

Go take my car and get Mike a Coke and a falafel. You hungry?

God, he's gonna go down hard.

Goddamn it, you fuckin' guys!

Good job, buddy.

Great.

Great. I'm gonna pass you on to my secretary.

Great. Leave. I don't care what you do anymore.

Great. Should I send the confirmation to your business or your home?

Greg certainly didn't make it easy, though.

Greg, I was standing right next to him the whole time.

Greg, I'm sure you don't have a problem with this.

Group interview, my ass.

Guy dropped 50 large on Farrow Tech this week.

Half of them do coke. They all drink. Zero capital.

Hang up the phone.

Harry Reynard just lost his life savings.

Harry, I'm sorry. Can you hold on a second?

Harry, listen to this.

Harry, my client.

Has a drug called Parattin in the third stage of F.D.A. Approval.

Have to worry about infection from dirty needles.

He also seems to be the smartest of this last group of trainees.

He can pay us that much, and it's worth it for him...

He cannot sell it before we sell it.

He doesn't even need the money.

He dropped $50,000 on Farrow Tech this week alone.

He got a point.

He hands out this book to new trainees.

He has nothing to do with this case.

He just can't sell it before we say so.

He just wants to know we're gonna do right by him.

He knows that firm. It's a fuckin' chop shop.

He owns the biggest foods company in Wisconsin.

He told me about J.T. Marlin.

He used to run a full time casino out of his house in Queens.

He was just some poor schmuck, and I took him.

He would've had to be impressed.

He's a really great guy. He's a family man, actually.

He's a trainee. He doesn't need to know initial sell limits.

He's busy closing somebody. I didn't want to bother him.

He's doin' is makin' sure my lunch is still hot when it gets here.

He's gonna cry like a little baby!

He's only here because the S.E.C. Requires it. Easiest job in the world.

He's taking me out to lunch next week on his request.

He's very happy. Shocked, but very happy.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Help your son!

Here you go, Greg.

Here you go.

Here, kid. Go get a tan and some Rogaine.

Here's Vito and John Jr.

Hey, Chris, why do you still live with your mother?

Hey, don't even start that fuckin' shit with me, okay?

Hey, great outfits.

Hey, Greg. Michael wants to see you.

Hey, Harry, who's J.T. Marlin?

Hey, Harry. It's Seth Davis.

Hey, he doesn't have to say shit, all right?

Hey, I ran a casino.

Hey, Jeff, get up here!

Hey, Jeff!

Hey, kid, get the fuck outta here!

Hey, Richie! Hey, Richie!

Hey, Seth, I'm gonna get some reserves. You wanna come with me?

Hey, Steve, could you get us a couple of sandwiches?

Hey, Steve? Come here for a second.

Hey, whatever. Let's toast the slut. Here you go.

Hey! Hey, you know what? This is my business.

Hey! Shut the fuck up!

Hey. Get the fuck off me.

Hi, Dr. Jacobs? This is Chris Marlin at J.T. Marlin.

Hi, Mr. "Dahvis," this is Ron from the Daily News.

Hi, you've reached the Reynards. Please leave a message.

His name's Dr. Jacobs, and I'd say that he's definitely...

His own broker doesn't even know he's a fuckin' client here.

Hit me.

Hold on a second. Do it.

Hold on a second. Who are you? What do you sell? Car insurance?

Hold on. Let me open up the door to my office.

Holy shit, yo. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

Holy shit, you slut. You made the call.

Honor's in the dollar, kid.

How about three Puerto Ricans, two Chinks and a Guinea?

How are you fucking it up?

How are you gonna get to him?

How come I've never heard of this firm?

How could you possibly know that?

How did he get your name?

How do you do, Mr. Gekko? Bud Fox.

How do you think I got these? Anyway, it's illegal.

How is it that we make rips that pay out...

How is that different? It's your money. You earned it.

How long have you been standing there?

How many people have you fucked over? Tell me. How many?

How many points did I make you?

How many secretaries do you know that make 80 grand a year?

How many trades has he made?

How'd you like to pay for it tomorrow in cash?

How're you doin'? Come in. Come in.

How's everybody doing?

I also have a bullet on it. A few days ago, Dan Dorfman on CNBC...

I am a fucking millionaire.

I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing to hear, right?

I am liquid.

I am more sorry than you will ever know.

I am not on yours.

I am so sorry. I am so fuckin' sorry.

I asked you for months about shit going down here...

I became a stockbroker.

I came to realize it was a quick out for Michael if things got out of hand.

I can close anyone anytime anywhere. Just give me a phone number.

I can't handle a 24 hour gig all by myself.

I can't have any connection to you.

I can't walk you through this right now. I'm sorry.

I can't, Seth. I can't. I'm sorry.

I could hook you up with my friend that works over at Smith Barney.

I could sell you more than 100 shares...

I did everything that J.T. Marlin taught me to do...

I didn't really know these guys.

I didn't wanna go in. I really didn't.

I didn't want to be an innovator. I just wanted to make the quick, easy buck.

I don't believe in fate. I believe in odds.

I don't care if you stay there or not. Just get out of here!

I don't care. Mix it up. Whatever you want.

I don't even give a fuck about the money, okay?

I don't even know how to describe the feeling.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

I don't even know why I talked to you. You have nothing on me.

I don't know about playing. I do own some blue chips.

I don't know how to better explain this to you, but...

I don't know if you've ever had the opportunity to purchase I.P.O. Before...

I don't know what he told you, but I've had it with this shit.

I don't know what that is either. You're starting to upset me.

I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what your financial situation is...

I don't know why the hell I walked in there.

I don't know, Seth. You tell me.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I've just worked there a long time.

I don't know. Tell me... Tell me a story about your dad.

I don't really care anymore.

I don't wanna get involved in this. We're not bothering you.

I don't wanna see you again.

I don't wanna talk about my father either.

I don't want people dumping their shares, understand?

I don't want you to come to the house. I don't want you to call.

I don't want you to yell "reco" anymore. Know what you should yell? "Timber!"

I drive a Ferrari 355 Cabriolet.

I even know where he moves if you guys get too close.

I feel bad about the way things went at the house last week.

I forgot to tell you. I bought a little bit of stock.

I found a way to get your money back.

I found out how Michael's making his money.

I gave each one of my guys their 40th. Come on.

I got a new issue I wanna talk to you about. Okay?

I got every fuckin' rebuttal out of this guy.

I got smacked.

I got this friend who runs this other firm, right?

I gotta find a job.

I had passed the Series Seven and was closing my 40 accounts for Greg.

I handpicked them myself.

I have 1,000 more calls to make.

I have 22 years of market experience. I know this business.

I have calls to make to a million other doctors who are already in the know.

I have every toy you could imagine, and best of all, kids...

I have no more money coming in anymore...

I have to call every one of my clients and give 'em the same opportunity.

I have to go.

I hear my father's voice up the street, and he's calling my name.

I hope this is better than the last batch of shit you gave me.

I hope you guys aren't fightin' over it. Here. Good money against Greg's roll.

I just don't feel like we get anywhere when we talk at home.

I just got word from Michael.

I just need you to call me back, all right?

I just think we need to make him a little money on this next I.P. O...

I just walked up. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

I just want you to know one thing.

I just want you to test me out.

I just wanted in.

I know everything you don't. I know how it all works.

I know everything!

I know how he hides it.

I know how Michael makes his money.

I know J.T. It's a fuckin' chop shop. They named it so it sounds like ours.

I know somebody over at Ellis Proud...

I know what it is. I was just asking if you thought it was interesting.

I know what you're sayin'!

I know who he goes in with.

I know you're not at home with a bag of cash, waiting for me to call you.

I know. It's just that I get so much shit at J. T...

I learned how to fuck people out of their money.

I liked it at eight. I love it at four. It's an average down for you.

I looked my customers in the eye and provided a service they wanted.

I lost you $60,000.

I love you, Ma.

I made a lot of money for you in the past three months.

I mean, even on Wall Street.

I mean, l...

I mean, like, Richie. What the fuck is that, man?

I mean, my God, if I'd called my father to meet me for a cup of coffee...

I mean, there was... there was blood everywhere.

I mean, worst case scenario, you'll hear yourself a new business idea...

I mean, you really honestly plan on dealing cards to college kids...

I need 300 bucks from each of you for the books...

I need a senior broker to sign a sell ticket...

I need some cizzi up my nizzi...

I need this.

I need to talk to my wife.

I need to talk to you.

I need to tell you something. Please don't walk out.

I need you to sign a sell ticket for a client of mine.

I need your client book and your whole "C" drive backed up onto floppy.

I opened him when I was closing my 40 accounts for you.

I plan to bring you eight or nine points over the course of this year.

I read this article a while back...

I really can't buy anything right now.

I remember one time I had this guy call me up, wanted to pitch me.

I remember there was this photograph of one of the groundskeepers...

I remember you saying something about wanting to buy a house, right?

I say, " Look, man. Tell me you don't like my firm.

I see. So that means you've been lying to us for six months.

I should've just let it go.

I show you 30 or 40%, no matter how big or small your position is...

I spoke to Howard Goldberg over at Prudential.

I swear to God, if he ends up in one newspaper, I do not testify.

I think I'll just talk to you.

I think I'm gonna puke.

I think it's time for you to...

I think it's time you all learned it.

I think she's a whore. Just telling you.

I think she's trouble, you know?

I think that we should give him a chunk of the Med Patent I.P.O.

I think we should go to a decent bar with some decent poo poo.

I think we should...

I think you should, because we're about to lose him.

I think you're a smart kid, pullin' in some real cash.

I thought I told you I didn't want to see you again.

I thought maybe you were lookin' for somebody to invest with.

I thought this was supposed to be a big broker hangout.

I told you guys. You can't keep a good man down!

I told you things would happen in 60 days. It's only been 20 so far.

I took Dave on last month.

I tried slinging crack rock, and I never had a jump shot.

I wanna get out of the firm like you told me to.

I want Davis brought in by the end of the week. Period.

I want out of the firm.

I want the garage.

I want to keep him here.

I want you guys to go up to suite 418.

I want you to judge me on the percentages I show you.

I want you to remember the code we have here, okay?

I want you to testify.

I wanted to congratulate you all on a huge month.

I wanted to know if you enjoyed the information we sent you.

I wanted to...

I was about to be on my own.

I was about to start making the serious dough.

I was closing five a day, sometimes six. Just killing it.

I was giving him a run, and he blew it.

I was living in Kew Gardens Hills, running my biz...

I was making good money with the casino...

I was shitting my pants.

I was thinking that we should go to the city tonight...

I went to the Med Patent office this morning, and there isn't one.

I wish my dad could've stepped into the casino just once.

I would've stepped right in if the kid would have gotten in trouble.

I wouldn't expect your business. But, Don, I am bringing you...

I'd love to show you what I mean, and I can do so on a small investment.

I'd tell you to hang up the phone...

I'll tell ya. It's a weird thing to say.

I'll tell you this, your coming here is unacceptable to me.

I'm a judge, for Christ's sake!

I'm a purchasing manager at a gourmet foods company.

I'm a trainee. I still have to pass my Series Seven test.

I'm advising all my clients to get in on this, and heavy.

I'm already doin' that.

I'm going to lunch, boys.

I'm gonna be honest with you. You're runnin'a good business.

I'm gonna get...

I'm gonna hand you this case on a silver fucking platter.

I'm gonna hang up this phone now.

I'm gonna keep this short, okay?

I'm gonna pass. The only people making money passing are N.F.L. Quarterbacks.

I'm gonna put all my kids through college with this stock.

I'm good at what I do!

I'm invested very heavily myself. We just stay put.

I'm just asking you for this one thing. Just this one thing, please!

I'm just his contact here. He's your client.

I'm just looking for some chocolate love.

I'm just selling stock. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm lookin' at 200,000 shares moved. I wanna know if we're part of it.

I'm not gonna make a dime off this trade.

I'm not here to waste your time. I hope you're not here to waste mine.

I'm not in the market for that.

I'm not you. I'm not gonna fuckin' kill myself for half the profit.

I'm not your best friend. That's your mother's racket.

I'm offering a Daily News subscription at a substantially reduced price.

I'm out of the junior broker program. I don't work for you no more.

I'm plagued by "what ifs" these days.

I'm really busy here myself.

I'm running a business, and I'm just earning a living.

I'm shutting it down.

I'm so fuckin' close.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry we couldn't foresee this when we first came to you with the stock.

I'm sorry, Harry. I can't do that.

I'm sorry, man. This is my seat.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry... I'm sorry I couldn't...

I'm still gonna do it. I have a friend that'll go in with me.

I'm successful to the point where I don't need to chase your business.

I'm telling you, he's about to make a move.

I'm the one that got the raise. Try and remember that.

I'm tryin' to make the job easier, okay? Don't give me any fuckin' lip.

I'm tryin' to tell you what's expected of you and what your job is.

I'm your father. I tell you when you screw up.

I've already gone in with somebody.

I've been busy gathering information. The stock's down for tech reasons.

I've invested too much time in this.

I've just got to figure something out.

I've told you a million times that I will get a job.

If every trainee started handling their own recos?

If he calls back, I'm not here.

If he doesn't show us any gains, I won't do business with him again.

If he's a whale... which it looks like he is...

If he's doin' it, he's makin' money on it. Point is:

If I do it right, I can take J.T. For at least 300 grand.

If I get you involved at 10, I take you out at 15...

If I have to look at one more housewife smoking a Newport...

If I take you out at 15, that's 71/2 points.

If I was asking you to own 5,000 or 10,000 shares...

If somebody wants a recommendation, put the guy on hold...

If the heat comes and we have to jump, how long will it take to move the firm?

If you become an employee of this firm...

If you can't learn to close, you better start thinking about another career.

If you couldn't pull $3,000 together, your name wouldn't be on my desk.

If you decide it isn't... It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

If you get as much mail as I do, you probably brushed it aside.

If you guys wanna close me, you should sell me.

If you like what we have to say, great. We'll do business. If not...

If you want them off the phone so bad, why don't you just hang up?

If you're talkin' to him, you're talkin' to me and my whole fuckin' crew, okay?

In three months, you can outfit your whole closet...

Is getting past the secretaries. It doesn't matter if you're a broker.

Is how you're gonna get laid tonight.

Is that right? How are you making the rent every month, Seth?

Is that you can be whoever you wanna be on the phone.

Isaac here just closed a guy for 30,000 shares of Farrow Tech.

Isaac, I got a Mr. Klastow. He's super hot.

It didn't work the first time, it won't work the second. That's your phone.

It doesn't mean shit.

It has a rebuttal for any excuse.

It helps premature babies develop properly.

It is the cancer pill. Oh, Donald, please take a chance.

It is. It's a group interview. You'll see.

It just came off the restricted list, but it's still the same company.

It was a good move.

It was a pleasure doing business with you.

It was exit 53 on the Long Island Expressway...

It was like a Hitler Youth rally, in retrospect.

It was supposed to be a down payment for a house for my family...

It was the hardest thing I ever had to bear...

It'll be easy, and it'll get you comfortable on the phone, which is key.

It's a chop shop, Seth.

It's a silver Mongoose, you know, like BMX.

It's a smaller firm, I guess.

It's actually gonna be the biggest month we ever had.

It's already up a point, and it just came off the restricted list.

It's being manufactured by M.S.C. Pharmaceuticals.

It's Big Bird mode.

It's bullshit, all right?

It's called a rebuttal book. It looks like a little Filofax.

It's called Med Patent.

It's cardboard. There's nothing.

It's funny looking back. The illegal business I was running...

It's got these index tabs, but instead of having letters...

It's important that you know that.

It's just not worth it. Don't pitch the bitch.

It's just... It's okay. Relax, all right?

It's like everybody is just waiting for the 15th of the month.

It's my dad that's the mess...

It's not for everyone. Thanks.

It's not like "What's your 800 number?" That's a fuck off question.

It's not what I want, sir. It's what you want.

It's okay. I never told you.

It's over.

It's still a sales call, and they fuckin' know that.

It's still going there, probably higher. This doesn't change anything...

It's strange to think how that knock changed everything.

It's the absolute firm minimum. If I show you...

It's the next step I gotta figure out, 'cause I'm no lottery winner.

It's this pharmaceutical company. It's poised for a big jump.

It's true, man. These guys are no joke.

It's true. $150 a week? Not a lot of money.

It's your father, isn't it?

J.P. Morgan just faxed over their congratulations...

J.T. Marlin, once again, has unlimited trading authorization.

J.T. Marlin.

J.T. Marlin. How may I direct your call?

Jesus Christ, they're all the same.

Jesus Christ. What's going on over there?

Jesus, Greg, you show him where the bathroom is yet?

Jesus!

Joined a firm like Goldman Sachs or something of that stature.

Just don't waste my fuckin' time.

Just enough to block anybody else's merger plans...

Just for, like, ten minutes. Just give it a rest.

Just get your ass out of that Italian leather chair and get the fuck out.

Just looking out for my friends.

Just sign it, please.

Just think of the flip side. When your wife does the shopping...

Just think what she'll say when you bring home a big fat check...

Just work.

Kept him on the phone for an hour and half.

Know what I'm sayin'? So give me some of that nose candy.

Last commission month, the kid on Jim's team wrote a million dollar ticket.

Let me close the door to my office. One second.

Let me put my secretary on, and she'll take down your info.

Let me round up the guys. We'll come pick you up.

Let me show you several percentage points on this small trade...

Let's just leave that for a second. So you dropped out.

Let's talk about this now.

Let's think about this whole thing. If you pull this I.P.O. Deal off...

Like "A" to "B," "G" to "H," it has different things like...

Like they took the Six train to Fulton Street every morning.

Line three.

Listen to me. Even though you're not selling stock yet...

Listen, can I change your mind about doing this I.P.O. Scheme?

Listen, I'm in a heap of trouble here. I need that money back.

Listen, I'm presenting you with an investment opportunity...

Listen, we have an explosive situation going on right now.

Listen. I'm curious. Why can't you sell me any more than that?

Look at it. It's fuckin' huge.

Look at me.

Look, I didn't get to where I am today by losing my clients' money.

Look, I don't care how much stock you pick up.

Look, Michael, this guy is a fucking whale...

Look, that's my secretary. I have to go.

Look, the guy's pretty fuckin' sour on Farrow Tech...

Look, we're not talking about a lot of money here.

Look, you are the one real thing in my life right now.

Look. I loved it at forty. Fifty? It's an insult.

Look. I'm just trying to restore what's left of our relationship.

Looks this good on paper, we're in the kill zone, pal. Lock and load.

Lucky for me, I'm very fucking good at my job, or I'd be out of one.

Lunch? You gotta be kidding. Lunch is for wimps.

Make sure he shows you the ropes, kid. He's too busy callin' his bookie.

Makes you think it's possible, even easy.

Makes your case more glamorous with the involvement of a federal judge.

Marty, we talked about this.

Maybe he was mad at me for making him feel that helpless...

Maybe it's time to start thinkin' about down the line time.

Maybe you're just not seeing my side.

Me too.

Means that we're walkin' away...

Merrill Lynch. Salomon Brothers. Mad, big dick Steve. What is this place?

Might be?
