(to Col. O'Neill)
I don't want to die. And your men don't want to die, and these people certainly don't want to die. It's a shame you're in such a hurry to.
Tony
[After hearing Ultron refer to him as a sickness]
Aw, junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart.
Ultron
If I have to.
Thor
Nobody has to break anything.
Ultron
Clearly, you've never made an omelette.
Tony
He beat me by one second.
Ultron
[Hulk catches Ultron flying away]
Oh, for God's sake.
Vision
You're afraid.
Ultron
Of you.
Vision
Of death. You're the last one.
Ultron
You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior…and settled for a slave.
Vision
I suppose we're both disappointments.
Ultron
[Chuckles]
I suppose we are.
Vision
Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites, and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.
Ultron
They're doomed.
Vision
Yes. [Pause] But a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It is a privilege to be among them.
Ultron
You're unbearably naïve.
Vision
Well,... I was born yesterday.
[Ultron leaps to attack Vision only to be destroyed off-screen]
Graham Dalton
I remember reading somewhere that men learn to love the person that they're attracted to, and that women become more and more attracted to the person that they love.
Graham
So, I don't... I don't understand, uh, what made you want to come here. I can't imagine Ann painted a very flattering portrait of me.
Cynthia
Yeah, well, see, um, I don't really listen to Ann when it comes to men. I mean, look at John, for Christ's sake.
Ann
I want to know why you are the way you are!
Graham
And I'm telling you it's not any one thing that I can point to and say "That's why!" It doesn't work that way with people who have problems, Ann, it's not that neat, it's not that tidy! It's not a series of little boxes that you can line up and count. Things just don't happen that way.
Steff
Money really means nothing to me. Do you think I'd treat my parents' house this way if it did?
Steff
That girl was, is, and always will be nada!
Steff
Andie, you're a bitch.
Mr. Richards
[to Felix]
You people that work at night scare me.
Mr. Richards
You must lead a charmed life, it was all I could do to save your skin in there. No thanks are necessary, Switcher!
Mr. Richards
[to Jonathan]
Please. Listen, I pride myself on being able to size up a job applicant and see just what kind of executive potential he has. I have just the job for you.
Joel Campbell
[frustrated that victim never saw her bulletin picture on TV]
Ellie Buckner. Single, 24, parents live in Florida. So far no known boy friend. She has a cat named Frank. Apparently he doesn't watch the news.
Joel Campbell
What are the odds that he's watching us right now?
Joel Campbell
His last alias was David Allen Griffin. I worked the case for three and a half years in Los Angeles. We attributed at least 11 homicides to him.
Lt. Hollis
What's he doing in Chicago?
Joel Campbell
I assume he's still strangling young women with piano wire.
Roger Barnes (James Spader)
Well, you're only the President of the company. What the hell do you know, anyway?
Gekko
Money never sleeps pal. I just made $800,000 in Hong Kong gold. It's been wired to you -- play with it. You done good, but you gotta keep doing good. I showed you how the game works, now school's out.
Bud
Mr. Gekko, I'm there for you 110%.
Gekko
No, no, no, no, you don't understand. I want to be surprised. Astonish me, pal, new info, don't care where or how you get it, just get it. My wife tells me you made a move on Darien. Here's some inside info for ya. That Euroflash GQ type she's going with? He's got big bucks but he's putting her feet to sleep. Exit visas are imminent. I don't want you to lose your place in line. [gazing at the surf] Oh, jeez, I wish you could see this... the lights coming up over the water. I've never seen a painting that captures the beauty of the ocean at this moment. I'm going to make you rich Bud Fox, rich enough, you can afford a girl like Darien. This is your wake up call, pal. Go to work.
Bud
Lou, I got a sure thing. Anacott Steel.
Mannheim
No such thing except death and taxes. No fundamentals, not a good company any more. What's goin' on, Bud? You know something? Remember there are no shortcuts, son. Quick buck artists come and go with every bull market, but the steady players make it through the bear market. You're a part of something here, Bud. The money you make for people creates science and research jobs, don't sell that out
Bud
You're right, Lou, you're right. But you gotta make it to the big time first, then you can be a pillar and do good things.
Mannheim
You can't get a little bit pregnant, son.
Bud
Lou, trust me, its a winner. Buy it.
Bud
I guess you're a decorator.
Darien
You got it. Great spender of other people's money.
Gekko
The rarest pistol in the world, Larry. A .45 Luger. Only six of them were ever manufactured.
Wildman
Congratulations. Rarer still is your interest in Anacott Steel.
Gekko
My interest is the same as yours, Larry. Money. I thought it'd be a good investment for my kid.
Wildman
No this time I'm in for the long term, its not a liquidation. I'm going to turn it around. You're getting a free ride on my tail, mate. With the dollars you're costing me to buy back the stock, I could modernize the plant. I'm not the only one who pays here, Gordon. We're talking about lives and jobs, three and four generations of steelworkers.
Gekko
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you acquired CNX Electronics you laid off, what, 6000 workers? Jemson Fruit, 4000? That airline you bought..umm
Wildman
I could break you, mate, in two pieces over my knees. You know it, I know it. I could buy you six times over. I could dump the stock just to burn your arse. But i happen to want the company, and I want your block of shares.
Wildman
71?
Gekko
Well now considering you brought my mother into it, 71.50.
Wildman
Done. You'll hear from my lawyers tomorrow, 8 AM. Good Night. [leaves]
Gekko
[to Bud]
He's right, I had to sell. The key to the game is your capital reserves, If you haven't got enough, you can't piss in the tall weed with the big dogs.
Carl
He's using you, kid. He's got your prick in his back pocket, but you're too blind to see it.
Bud
No. What I see is a jealous old machinist who can't stand the fact that his son has become more successful than he has!
Carl
What you see is a guy who never measured a man's success by the size of his WALLET!
Bud
That's because you never had the guts to go out into the world and stake your own claim!
Carl
[Long Pause]
Boy, if that's the way you feel, I must have done a really lousy job as a father.
Bud
Why do you need to wreck this company?
Gekko
Because it's wreckable, alright? I took another look at it, I changed my mind.
Roger
Still seeing that sexy french chick?
Bud
No, No. She asked the wrong question.
Roger
What was that?
Bud
"What are you thinking?"
Bud
You ****in' used me!
Gekko
Well you're walkin' around blind without a cane, pal. A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
Bud
How much is enough, Gordon? When does it all end, huh? How many yatchs can you water-ski behind? How much is enough, huh?
Gekko
It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a Zero Sum game - somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply, transferred - from one perception to another. Like magic. This painting here? I bought it ten years ago for sixty thousand dollars, I could sell it today for six hundred. The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it. Capitalism at it's finest.
Bud
How much is enough, Gordon?
Gekko
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons; And what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
Bud
Bluestar, Mr. Mannheim. Put all your clients on it. It's gonna move.
Mannhiem
I don't know where you get your information, son, but I don't like it. The main thing about money, Bud, it makes you do things you don't wanna do.
Bud
Good morning Chuckie. Morning, Lou.
Mannheim
Bud, I like you. Just remember something. Man looks into the abyss. There's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character, and that's what keeps him out of the abyss.
Gekko
Where the hell are you? I am losing MILLIONS! You got me into this company and sure as hell better get me out or the only job you'll have on the Street is SWEEPING IT! You hear me, Fox?
Bud
You once told me, don't get emotional about stock. Don't! The bid is 16 1/2 and going down. As your broker, I advise you to take it.
Gekko
Yeah. Well you TAKE IT! Right in the ass you **** scumbag ****!
Bud
It's two minutes to closing, Gordon. What do you want to do? Decide.
Gekko
Dump it.
Gekko
Hiya, Buddy.
Bud
Gordon.
Gekko
Sand bagged me on Bluestar huh? I guess you think you taught the teacher a lesson that the tail can wag the dog huh? Well let me clue you in, pal. The ice is melting right underneath your feet.
Gekko
[punches Bud]
Did you think you could've gotten this far this fast with anyone else, huh? That you'd be out there dicking someone like Darien? Naw... you'd still be cold calling widows and dentists tryin' to sell 'em 20 shares of some dog shit stock. I took you in...
Gekko
[hits him again]
a NOBODY!
Gekko
[hits him harder]
I opened the doors for you... showed you how the system works... the value of information... how to *get it*! Fulham Oil, Brant Resources, Geo Dynamics and this is how you **** pay me back you COCKROACH!
Gekko
[knocks Bud to the ground]
I GAVE you Darien! I GAVE you your manhood I gave you EVERYTHING!
Gekko
[calms down]
You could've been one of the great ones Buddy. I look at you and see myself... WHY?
Bud
I don't know. I guest I realized that I'm just Bud Fox... and as much as I wanted to be Gordon Gekko, I'll always be Bud Fox.
