Wall Street

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Good morning.

Jackson-Steinem.

How you doing, Buddy?

Doing any better,

it'd be a sin.

Good morning.

Good morning, Dan.

What's looking

good today?

If I knew, I wouldn't

be in this business.

Get out while

you're young, kid.

I came here one day

and look at me now.

Ah, look at you now.

Good morning, Brian.

Chuckie!

How's the woman slayer?

Still looking for the right

How you doing, pal?

If I had your looks, better.

Takes genetics, education,

and the right tailor.

Not that you learned anything.

Marv, I got a feeling

we'll make a killing today.

Oh, yeah?

Where's your machine gun?

Jesus, you can't make

a buck in this market.

The country's

going to hell faster

than when Roosevelt

was in charge.

Too much

cheap money.

Worst mistake was getting off

the gold standard.

Putney Drug. You might want

to look at it.

No. Take five years for that company

to come around.

But they got

a good new drug.

Stick to the fundamentals.

That's how I BM

and Hilton were built.

Good things

sometimes take time.

Good things

sometimes take time.

Look sharp today,

especially you rookies.

The Nikkei Index closed

up 90 points last night.

We expect heavy Japanese

buying on the opening.

Get on the horn

with your institution.

Report on their appetite.

Utilities are

our top priority today.

O.K., let's go to work!

And they're off and running!

Can we check that

for you?

I can confirm that.

We cleared up to 60,000...

G.C. At 481/2.

Yes, that's right.

The market just opened.

What are you

talking about?

Here's a hot lead.

Research just put thrifts

on the recommended.

Yeah! Dump them,

for Christ's sake!

Jack, 30,000. 38 top.

I'd go long at 23.

You got it.

Now you own it.

Conwest Air?

Let me check.

That's Industrial Oil...

for Templeton!

We are in the middle

of the biggest bull market

our generation

or any other ever witnessed.

Sir, if you'd take

five minutes of your time...

Looking for 50,000 Con Air!

What do you got?

September?

How about those Decembers?

Bud Fox,

Jackson-Steinem.

If I could have

five minutes of your time

to explain the extraordinary

opportunities

emerging in the

international debt market...

I know all about it.

Bud Fox, Jackson-Steinem.

If I could have

five minutes of your time

to explain the extraordinary

opportunities

emerging in the

international debt market...

I'm sure that, uh...

It concerns my future!

I need the information now,

before the close!

In 10 minutes, it's history!

At 4:
00, I'm a dinosaur!

Sure, it's gone down,

but you got the tip, I didn't.

I didn't tell you to buy it.

Why would I tell you to sell it?

I can't give it back.

You own it!

He's not here right now.

That's what

you told us to say.

Give me that phone.

Hello?

Hello. This is the sales manager.

What seems to be

the problem?

Give me a break!

How was I

supposed to know

you were in surgery!

Want me to pull

my account?

No, sir.

I'll discuss that

with the account executive.

You're welcome.

I'm closing

the account out.

If he doesn't pay tomorrow,

you pay.

Mr. Lynch, I swear to you

he's lying!

We give you one of those

rich man's accounts.

You tell me he'll D.K. You

for a Lousy 1/4 point?

You know he's got a history

of this kind of bullshit!

Somebody's got to pay.

Ain't going to be me.

Little trouble today, Buddy?

Howard the jerk

reneged on me.

I've got to cover his losses

to the tune of about seven grand!

Yeah, I'm holding.

I'm tapped out, Marv.

American Express has

a hit man looking for me.

Well, could have been worse.

Could have been my money.

Here, here, rookie,

let me help you out.

What do I got?

A C-note.

Thanks, Marv.

I'll make it up to you.

Yes, I am still here!

You know

what my dream is?

To be on the other end

of that phone.

You got it!

Where the real cheesecake is.

Bud, you forgetting something?

The Gekko phone call!

Buddy, when are

you going to realize

big game hunters

bag the elephants,

not guys like us.

Gordon Gekko, please.

the Challenger blew up,

Gekko's selling

NASA stock short!

Yeah, but he made 23

on the Imperial deal before he was 40.

The guy makes 20 times

what Dave Winfield makes in a year,

and he talks

to everybody.

And he had

an ethical by-pass at birth!

Hello, Natalie?

Guess who?

Mr. Fox.

That's right.

Every day I tell myself,

"today could be the day."

Will you marry me?

- I'll think about it.

- That's terrible.

Please get me through

to Mr. Gekko.

Five minutes,

that's all I'm asking.

Mr. Fox,

I'm sure you're a good broker,

but our traders

deal with the brokers.

Mr. Gekko only deals

with investment bankers.

Tell him I called.

There are big changes

in the international debt market.

Leo, I understand,

but you have to realize there'll

be major subordinated debt involved.

Buddy boy,

how you doing?

Great, Charlie.

Any better would be a sin.

I hear all wall street guys

are millionaires.

When you gonna

make us all rich?

Give me 50 grand,

I'll get you a condo in Florida

next Christmas.

Sure! We'll own

the airline by then!

Let him make himself rich

so he can pay off

his school loans.

Nice to see you're

in such a good mood.

What did mom give you

fish for dinner?

You're smoking too much.

How many times

you gotta go to the hospital...

Leave me alone. It's the only thing

that makes me feel good.

Your mother still

makes lousy spaghetti.

It's called pasta now.

Spaghetti's out-of-date.

So am I.

You want a beer?

Yeah.

A Molson Light

for the kid!

He's looking good.

He looks terrific.

Carl, we'll be at the bar.

Nice seeing you, Buddy.

Take care.

You look like

you've grown another inch,

but you don't look so hot,

Buddy.

Starting to get bags under your eyes

like your old man.

I had a tough day.

Some jerk D.K. Ed me.

I got to cover his losses.

Speak English.

D.K. Didn't know

who I was

when the options he bought

took a bath.

I warned you

about that racket.

You could have been

a doctor or lawyer.

If you'd stayed

at Bluestar,

you could have been a supervisor

instead of a salesman.

I am not a salesman,

I'm an account executive.

Soon I'll be

in the investment banking side.

You ask strangers

for money,

you're a salesman.

I'm building

a client list!

I could make more money

in one year as a broker

than I could in five years

at this airline.

You borrow money

to go to NYU.

You made 50 grand

last year.

You still can't

pay off your loans!

$50,000! Jesus Christ!

The whole world's off its rocker!

I made a total

of $47,000 last year.

That's before taxes.

That's Queens!

A 5% mortgage

And you rent the top room!

I got to live in Manhattan

to be a player.

There's no nobility

in poverty anymore.

One day you'll be

proud of me.

It's yourself you got to be proud of,

huckleberry.

How much you need?

Can you spare 300?

I don't know if
