A scene from Wall Street 1987
Carl

You told the truth and gave the money back. All things considered in this cockamamie world, you're shooting par.

Mrs. Fox

You helped save the airline, and the airline people are gonna remember you for it.

Carl

That's right. If I were you, I'd think about the job at Bluestar that Wildman offered you.

Bud

Dad, I'm going to jail and you know it.

Carl

Yeah, well, maybe that's the price, son. It's gonna be hard on you, that's for sure. But maybe in some kind of screwed-up way, it's the best thing that could've happened to you. Stop going for the easy buck and produce something with your life. Create instead of living off the buying and selling of others.
