Wall Street Page #10

Buy everything in sight

up to 22,

then call me.

When I get the son of a b*tch

who leaked this,

I'll suck

his f***in' skull.

Stock's going to Pluto, man.

Start unloading.

Sell?

Dump it all.

Where's Lou?

Right over there.

Ken, Marv

at Jackson-Steinem.

We gotta dump this baby.

Take the money and run

on BST.

It's gotta be

a big hitter.

There's a batch of people

from Bluestar Airlines here.

What the hell

do they want?

We know what you're

up to, Gekko.

You can go

straight to hell.

No way you're going to

break up our airline.

That's the first

I've heard of it.

We have an agreement

which I expect you

to honor.

You better hope to have

your pilot's license.

We won't let the engines

fall out of the planes.

A lot of the baggage

headed for St. Petersburg

could easily

wind up in Pittsburgh.

Somebody else wants

to buy your airline.

You want to be gobbled

by Attila the Hun,

be my guest!

We'll take

our chances.

Nice to see you,

Gekko.

Fox says Bluestar

just hit 23.

What do you

want him to do?

Sell it all.

What the hell?

So we only

make 10 million.

Sell it.

Sold! Sold!

Break! Break! Break!

For Christ's sake!

Can't get a god damn

connection here!

Bob, big trouble on BST.

Get out now.

Another 30,000 out!

Gekko's trying to sell.

The stock is plummeting.

I'll carry him a few rounds

before he drops.

Don't make

a big deal of it.

Buy it lightly

on the way down.

When it hits 18,

buy it all.

Piece of cake, Larry.

And 18.

Sold!

Sold!

I'll sell you 50.

There's got to be

a way out of this.

Dial 911.

Fox is on 4.

Where are you?

I'm losing millions.

Get me out of this,

or your only job

on this street

will be

sweeping it.

You told me

don't get emotional about stock.

Don't.

The bid is 161/2

and going down.

As your broker,

I advise you to take it.

You take it!

Right in the ass,

you f***in' scumbag cocksucker!

It's two minutes to close,

Gordon.

What do you want to do?

Decide.

Dump it.

The big Wall Street

story today

was the roller coaster ride

of Bluestar Airlines.

Fueled by takeover rumors,

the stock soared

to an all-time high

of 241/8.

Then when contradictory

rumors later surfaced

that the takeover

was unfounded,

buyers went

running for cover

and the stock plummeted

on gigantic volume

to as low as 161/2

before closing at 17.

Tonight another rumble

shook the street.

Raider Sir Lawrence Wildman

has bought

a substantial block

of Bluestar

and is going to announce

a deal tomorrow at 18

that includes

the support of the unions.

This reporter

talked today

with a leading...

Son of a b*tch!

Smile, Carolyn.

There's justice in the world.

Good morning, folks.

What?

Did somebody die?

Yeah.

Good morning,

Chuckie, Lou.

Bud.

Bud, I like you.

Just remember something.

Man looks in the abyss.

There's nothing

staring back at him.

At that moment,

man finds his character,

and that is what keeps him

out of the abyss.

I think I understand.

Janet, get my father,

will you?

He just came in.

I'll call you back.

I guess you're not here

to open an I RA.

I'm Henry Patterson with

the Postal Inspection Service.

This is Mr. Ebanhopper

from the U.S. Attorney's Office,

Evan Morrissey from the Securities

and Exchange Enforcement Office.

You're under arrest,

Mr. Fox,

for securities fraud

and for violating

the Insider Trader's Sanction Act.

From the beginning,

I knew you were no good.

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say

may be used against you.

You have the right

to consult an attorney

and to have an attorney present

during questioning.

So long, Carolyn.

Hiya, Buddy.

Gordon.

You sandbagged me

on Bluestar.

I guess you think

you taught the teacher a lesson,

that the tail

can wag the dog, huh?

Let me clue you in, pal.

The ice is melting

right underneath your feet.

Think you could have

got this far this fast

with anybody else, huh?

You think you'd be

dicking someone like Darien?

No. You'd be cold-calling

widows and dentists

to buy 20 shares of some f***in'

dogshit stock.

I took you in!

A nobody!

I opened doors for you.

I showed you

how the system works.

The value of information,

how to get it!

Fulham Oil,

Brant Resources.

And this is

how you pay me back,

you cockroach!

I gave you Darien!

I gave you your manhood.

I gave you everything!

You could have been

one of the great ones.

I look at you,

and I see myself.

Why?

I don't know.

I guess I realized

I'm just Bud Fox.

As much as I wanted

to be Gordon Gekko,

I'll always be Bud Fox.

I showed you

how the system works.

The value of information,

how to get it!

Fulham Oil,

Brant Resources.

You did

the right thing, Bud.

You told the truth

and gave the money back.

All things considered,

you're shooting par.

You helped

save the airline.

The airline people will

remember you for it.

You should think

about the job

at Bluestar

Wildman offered you.

Dad, I'm going to jail.

Yeah, well, maybe

that's the price, son.

It will be hard on you,

that's for sure.

Maybe it's the best thing

that could have happened.

Stop going for the easy buck

and produce something.

Create instead of living off

the buying and selling

of others.

We'll park the car

and catch up.

All right.
