Gordon what I want--and I never asked you for anything--is to be your co-pilot on this. I want to take this airline, turn it around, and make it work. It's gonna make us a fortune! | I'm talking to a stockbroker who wants to run an airline. It's gonna take me two years and 2000 headaches to turn Teldar Paper around, what do I need this dink airline for? I'm up to my ass in more nuts than a fruitcake. |

Gordon, I worked at Bluestar, I know my way around, I have friends there...inside. | What does that mean? |
What does that mean? | The three unions. It's 43% of Bluestar's operating budget, the hourly cost of a flight crew is $850 an hour, that's the real hidden value G.G., if you can negotiate that out, get a crew down to $350-400 an hour a run, this airline is gonna be the hottest thing since Texas Air... |

What makes you think you can? | I can talk to these people Gordon, they trust me...and my father can be a big help in getting cuts. |
I can talk to these people Gordon, they trust me...and my father can be a big help in getting cuts. | Alright... Susan, get Buckingham on the box. I want him to look at it. And tell Jock Taylor at Thwick, Jensen... So sport, the falcon has heard the falconer...tell me more... |
What the hell do you want? | I found out about the garage sale down at Bluestar. Why? |
Last night I read Rudy the story of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey pot. Know what happened: he stuck his nose in that honey pot once too often and got stung. | Maybe you ought to read him Pinocchio. You told me you were going to turn Bluestar around. Not upside down. You used me. |
Maybe you ought to read him Pinocchio. You told me you were going to turn Bluestar around. Not upside down. You used me. | You're walking around blind without a cane, sport. A fool and his money are lucky to get together in the first place. |
You're walking around blind without a cane, sport. A fool and his money are lucky to get together in the first place. | Why do you need to wreck this company? |
Why do you need to wreck this company? | Because it's wreckable. I took another look and I changed my mind. |
Because it's wreckable. I took another look and I changed my mind. | If these people lose their jobs, nowhere to go. My father worked at Bluestar for twenty-four years. I gave 'em my word. |
If these people lose their jobs, nowhere to go. My father worked at Bluestar for twenty-four years. I gave 'em my word. | It's all about bucks, kid, the rest is conversation... Bud, you're still going to be president. And when the time comes, you'll parachute out a rich man. With the money you're going to make, your father won't have to work another day in his life. |

Tell me, Gordon--when does it all end? How many yachts can you waterski behind? How much is enough? | Buddy, it's not a question of enough. It's a zero sum game, sport. Somebody wins and somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another. Like magic. That painting cost $60,000 10 years ago. I could sell it today for $600,000. The illusion has become real. And the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it. Capitalism at its finest. |

How much is enough Gordon? | The richest one percent of this country owns half the country's wealth: 5 trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds of it comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulation to widows and idiot sons and what I do -- stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. Ninety percent of the American people have little or no net worth. I create nothing; I own. We make the rules, Buddy, the news, war, peace, famine, upheaval; the cost of a paper clip. We pull the rabbit out of the hat while everybody else sits around their whole life wondering how we did it... ...you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy are you, Buddy? It's the free market. You're one of us now...take advantage of it. You got the killer instinct, kid, stick with me. I got things to teach you... |

Are you mad! Why are you doing this! We're so close, the town is going to be ours. Don't throw away your future Bud! | I can stay with the brokerage firm. And you're doing fine. We can survive without Gordon Gekko. |
I can stay with the brokerage firm. And you're doing fine. We can survive without Gordon Gekko. | I'm not looking to just survive. I've been doing that all my life. |
I'm not looking to just survive. I've been doing that all my life. | What the hell's that supposed to mean? |
You may not believe this Bud but I really do care for you. I think we could've made a good team...but that's how it goes... | Get the hell out! |
You're on a roll kiddo. Enjoy it while it lasts -- 'cause it never does. | ...just kickin' ass and taking names, Mr. Mannheim. |
You must be wearing a mask you're laughing so hard behind it Larry. Let's cut the "sir" crap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you took CNX Electronics, you laid off 8,000 workers, Jessmon Fruit about 6,000, that airline... | I could break you, mate, in two pieces over my knees, you know it, I know it, I could buy you six times ever, I could dump the stock just to burn your ass but I happen to want the company and I want your block of shares. I'm announcing a tender offer at 65 tomorrow, and I'm expecting your commitment. |
I can't believe she went out with that monster last night | Forget her Mark, she's a bitch |
You bet. We all can't be such modern people | Come on Mark MARK Ah hell, why not. I'll get the maid to write the essays |
Come on Mark MARK Ah hell, why not. I'll get the maid to write the essays | YES! |
I felt...pain. That she'd been hurt by someone. This is great. I'm trying to intuit the emotions of a figment of my-- | Have you been hurt? |
Have you been hurt? | Me? No. Well, in the accident I was injured, but... |
Me? No. Well, in the accident I was injured, but... | You were in an accident? |
You were in an accident? | Last year. I drove my car up a tree. Nothing serious, this... ...a minor concussion. But the car looked bad. It could have been bad. I think it scared the hell out of Norman. |
He looked like one of the Monkees. | Anyway, Claire slept with him... |
Anyway, Claire slept with him... | I didn't sleep with him. |

That's not technically accurate - SIMPSONS murders weren't sexually motivated. | You know that circulation is down for three months in a row. |
You know that circulation is down for three months in a row. | I heard something like that |
I heard something like that | Then it's going to be 'I killed for sex'... Listen darling, why won't you let us use your real name for the features - if people knew that it was the ELLEN CARTER writing the features and not just some pseudonym - then we might shift more units. You haven't written anything in four years darling - I know you need this job - and if circulation keeps dropping, there's not going to be a magazine for you to write for... |
Oh, about six years since I graduated | And how many people have you killed? |
And how many people have you killed? | I don't know |
I don't know | You don't know? |
You don't know? | No - the police say I've killed fourteen - but I've not - I've killed many more. It amazes me how they just haven't found the bodies. What is society coming to when people just don't get missed. I agree, some of them are well hidden - I probably couldn't even show you where I put them - one girl, number eight I think the press called it - she wasn't even mine - I don't know who did it but I didn't |

Where do you kill them... | Oh anywhere - whenever I needed to - Do you know how easy it is to take them?
