A scene from Pretty Woman 1990
Vivian

[Fumbling with his tie, Edward tells Vivian about his business.]

You don't actually have a billion dollars, huh?

Edward

No. I get some of it from banks, investors... it's not an easy thing to do.

Vivian

And you don't make anything...

Edward

No.

Vivian

... and you don't build anything.

Edward

No.

Vivian

So whadda ya do with the companies once you buy 'em?

Edward

I sell them.

Vivian

[Viv reaches for his tie.]

Here, let me do that. You sell them.

Edward

Well, I... don't sell the whole company, I break it up into pieces, and then I sell that off, it's worth more than the whole.

Vivian

So, it's sort of like, um... stealing cars and selling 'em for parts, right?

Edward

[sighs exasperatedly]

Yeah, sort of. But legal.
