View Quote There's an important phrase that we use here, and think it's time that you all learned it. Act as if. You understand what that means? Act as if you are the **** President of this firm. Act as if you got a 9" ****. Okay? Act as if.

View Quote If you become an employee of this firm, you will make your first million within three years. Okay? I'm gonna repeat that. You will make a million dollars within three years of your first day of employment at J.T. Marlin. There is no question as to whether or not you'll become a millionaire working here. The only question is how many times over. You think I'm joking? I am not joking. I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing to hear, right? I'll tell ya. It's a weird thing to say. I am a **** millionaire. I am a **** millionaire. And guess how old I am. Twenty-seven. You know what that makes me here? A ****in' senior citizen. This firm is entirely comprised of people your age, not mine. Lucky for me, I'm very **** good at my job, or I'd be out of one. You guys are the new blood. You're gonna go home with the kessef. You are the future big swinging dicks of this firm. Now, you all look money hungry, and that's good. Anybody tells you money is the root of all evil doesn't ****in' have any. They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the ****in' smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby. You want details? Fine. I drive a Ferrari 355 Cabriolet. What's up? I have a ridiculous house in the South Fork. I have every toy you could possibly imagine. And best of all, kids, I am liquid. So, now that you know what's possible. Let me tell you what's required. You are required to work your **** ass off at this firm. We want winners here, not pikers. A piker walks at the bell. A piker asks how much vacation time you get in the first year. Vacation time? People come and work at this firm for one reason: to become filthy rich. That's it. We're not here to make friends. We're not savin' the ****in' manatees here, guys. You want vacation time? Go teach third grade, public school. The first three months at the firm are as a trainee. You make $150 a week. After you're done training, you take the Series Seven. You pass that, you become a junior broker and you're opening accounts for your team leader. You open 40 accounts, you start workin' for yourself. Sky's the limit. Word or two about being a trainee. Friends, parents, other brokers, whoever, they're gonna give you shit about it. It's true. $150 a week? Not a lot of money. Pay them no mind. You need to learn this business, and this is the time to do it. Once you pass the test, none of that's gonna matter. Your friends are shit. You tell them you made 25 grand last month, they're not gonna ****in' believe you. **** them! **** 'em! Parents don't like the life you lead? '**** you, Mom and Dad.' See how it feels when you're makin' their ****in' Lexus payments. Now, go home and think about it. Think about whether or not this is really for you. If you decide it isn't, listen, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not for everyone. Thanks. But if you really want this, you call me on Monday and we'll talk. Just don't waste my ****in' time.

View Quote Goddammit, you ****in' guys. I'm gonna keep this short, okay? You passed your sevens over a month ago. Seth's the only one that's opened the necessary forty accounts for his team leader. When I was a junior broker I did it in 26 days. Okay? You're not sendin' out press packets anymore. None of this Debbie the Time Life operator bullshit. So get on the phones, it's time to get to work. Get off your ass! Move around. Motion creates emotion. I remember one time I had this guy call me up, wanted to pitch me, right? Wanted to sell me stock. So I let him. I got every ****in' rebuttal outta this guy, kept him on the phone for an hour and a half. Towards the end I started askin' him buying questions, like what's the firm minimum? That's a buying question, right there. That guy's gotta take me down. It's not like I asked him, what's your 800 number? That's a ****off question. I was givin' him a run and he blew it. Okay? To a question like what is the firm minimum, the answer is zero. You don't like the idea, don't pick up a single share. But this putz is tellin' me you know, uhh, 100 shares? Wrong answer! No! You have to be closing all the time. And be aggressive, learn how to push! Talk to 'em. Ask 'em questions... ask 'em rhetorical questions, it doesn't matter, anything, just get a yes out of 'em. If you're drowning and I throw you a life jacket would you grab it? Yes! Good. Pick up 200 shares I won't let you down. Ask them how they'd like to see thirty, forty percent returns. What are they gonna say, no? **** you? I don't wanna see those returns. Stop laughing, it's not funny. If you can't learn how to close, you better start thinkin' about another career. And I am deadly serious about that. Dead ****in' serious. And have your rebuttals ready, guy says call me tomorrow? Bullshit! Somebody tells you th-they got money problems about buyin' 200 shares is lying to you. You know what I say to that? I say, hey look, man, tell me you don't like my firm, tell me you don't like my idea, tell me you don't like my ****in' neck tie, but don't tell me you can't put together 2,500 bucks. And there is no such thing as a no-sell call. A sell is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock, or he sells you on a reason he can't. Either way, a sell is made. The only question is: who's gonna close? You or him?! Now be relentless. That's it, I'm done.

View Quote Stansfield Turner: You're telling me there's a movie office in Hollywood right now that's funded by the CIA.
Tony Mendez: Yes, sir.
Cyrus Vance: What's wrong with the bikes again?
Jack O'Donnell: We tried to get the message upstairs.
Turner: You think... You think this is more plausible than teachers?
O'Donnell: Yes we do. One, there are no more foreign teachers in Iran.
Mendez: And, we think everybody knows Hollywood people. And everybody knows they would shoot in Stalingrad with Pol Pot directing if it'd sell tickets. There are only bad options. It's about finding the best one.
Turner: You don't have a better bad idea than this?
O'Donnell: This is the best bad idea we have, sir. By far.
Turner: [short pause] The United States government just sanctioned your science fiction movie.

View Quote [The CIA starts talking about extraction options for the six US Embassy employees]
Robert Pender: What we like for this now are bicycles. We've identified back roads from the Shemiran district — a couple of rat lines through the mountains to the crossing at Tabriz. Cars are off the table because of the roadblocks.
Jon Bates: We wait until the weather clears up then deliver the six bikes, provide them with maps to the Turkish border.
Adam Engell: We have intelligence they can ride bicycles or we’re prepared to send in somebody to teach them.
Tony Mendez: Or you could just send in training wheels and meet them at the border with Gatorade. It's 300 miles to the Turkish crossings. They'd need a support crew behind them with a tire pump.
Engell: We've only been asked to sharpshoot this, State's handling the op.
Pender: Who is...?
Jack O'Donnell: Tony's an exfil spesh. He got a lot of the Shah's people out after the fall.
Mendez: Sir, if these people can read or add, pretty soon they're gonna figure out they're six short of a full deck. It's winter. You can't wait around until spring when it's nice enough to take a bike ride. The only way out of that city is the airport. You build new cover identities for them, you send in a Moses, he takes them out on a commercial flight.
Bates: We've explored those options.
Engell: They're never going to get past airport control. Komiteh own the place.
Bates: They could pose as reporters. The government issued seventy-something visas for American journalists.
Mario Malinov: Seventy-four. And the Revolutionary Guards keep them on 74 leashes.
Mendez: If they're caught with fake journalist creds, it's Peter Jennings' head in a noose in an hour. [...] Sir, exfils are like abortions. You don't want to need one, but when you do, you don't do it yourself.

View Quote [Tony Mendez and the six embassy escapees talk about their cover stories]

Mendez: "Toron-o", Canadians don’t pronounce the T.
Lee Schatz: Some Komiteh guard is actually going to know that?
Mendez: If you are detained for questioning they will bring in someone who knows that, yes ... Mary, who are the last three prime ministers of Canada?
Cora Lijek: Uh, Trudeau, Pearson and Diefenbaker.
Mendez: What's your father's name?
Lijek: Howard.
Mendez: What's his occupation?
Lijek: Fisherman.
Mendez: Where were you born?
Lijek: Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Mendez: What's your date of birth?
Lijek: February 21, 1952.
Mendez: Good. [to Stafford] What's your job on the movie?
Joe Stafford: Producer.
Mendez: Associate producer. What's the last movie you produced?
Stafford: High and Dry.
Mendez: Who paid for that?
Stafford: The CFDC.
Mendez: What's your middle name? [Stafford stammers] What's your middle name? What's your middle name?
Stafford: Leon.
Mendez: Shoot him. He's an American spy ... Look, they're going to try to break you, OK, by trying to get you agitated. You have to know your resume back to front.
Stafford: You really believe your little story's gonna make a difference when there's a gun to our heads?
Mendez: I think my story's the only thing between you and a gun to your head.

Batman: That's right. We have hospitals that treat the mentally ill with compassion. [Lex giggles] But that's not where you're going. I arranged for you to get a transfer to Arkham Asylum in Gotham. I still have some friends there. They're expecting you.

View Quote Gavin: my father-in-law got me to screw a good man, a decent man, out of his money. And my wife cheers me on.
Uncut version of the confessional.
Gavin: [God's] watching us. He's peering down at us, you know? Sometimes God likes to watch a love story, sometimes God likes to watch a football game, you know? He channel hops. Sometimes God likes a war. Sometimes God likes to put two guys in a paper bag and just let 'em rip.
Priest: God loves you.
Gavin: That is a joke. God is a pathetic joke for losers, and you know it.

View Quote Cynthia Delano Banek (Amanda Peet): Did you know that my father had a mistress for 20 years?
Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck): No.
Cynthia: Don't lie.
Gavin: I didn't know it was 20 years.
Cynthia: My mother knew about it.
Gavin: Why didn't she leave him?
Cynthia: Because she loved him so much. And she decided it'd be hypocritical to leave a man for cheating at home, when the expensive life she enjoyed so much was paid for by a man whose job was based on finding ways to cheat.
Gavin: Is that your opinion on the law?
Cynthia: What do you think the law is, Gav, at this level of the game, at my father's level of the game, at your level of the game? It is a big, vicious rumble, Gavin. The people who founded this law firm, and the people who sustain it, understand the way the world works. If you wanna continue to live the way we've been living...You have to steal. I could have married an honest man. I could have lived with a professor of Middle English, for example. If he was a moral man, and had tenure at Princeton. But I didn't. I married a Wall Street lawyer. Which means I married someone who lives in a world where when a man comes to the edge of things, he has to commit to staying there and living there. Can you live there, Gavin? Can you live there with me? You're not gonna do anything stupid like leaving me. You've had fantasies, I'm sure. So have I. But we're married. I knew about Michelle. I knew when it was happening. And I knew when it was finished. And I know you love me. You do love me. And I love you, too. I'm your wife, and I want to stand beside you. Just let me help you, Gavin. Let me help you with this.

Stephen: That's not going to happen. That's not going to happen, Gavin.
Mrs. Delano (Tina Sloan): I think I might order the snapper.
Gavin: I'm going to hold onto this file and keep it in a very safe place. But I'm not going to Texas. I'm going to come back into work on Monday. And I'm going to start doing that pro bono work that you recommended that I do. But I'm going to do it from our office. The first thing we're going to do is help a man buy a house.
Cynthia: Gavin, can we please not do this?

View Quote People who get married are not to be trusted. You know why? Because if you were legitimately happy, honestly you wouldn't feel the need to make a big show out of it. You wouldn't have to broadcast it. They do it because they're insecure and because they think that getting married is what they're supposed to be doing now. And so they're lying to themselves and they're lying to others.
