A line from Mark Hanna

Think about it. You're dealing with numbers. All day long, decimal points, high frequencies. Bang, bang, bang. **** digits. All very acidic above-the-shoulders mustard shit. All right? It kind of wigs some people out. Right. You got to feed the geese to keep the blood flowing. I keep the rhythm below the belt. Done.

We don't start dialing at 9:30, because our clients are already answering the phone! 3...2...1...LET'S ****!

Mark Hanna
[Seeing the results of Black Monday ]

HOLY...****...SHIT.

Mark Hanna
[On the phone with a customer]

We don't give two shits about how technology works. All we care about is being **** RICH.

Mr. Hanna, you're able to do drugs during the day and then still function, still do your job?

Mark Hanna

How the **** else are you supposed to do this job? Cocaine and hookers, my friend.

Mark Hanna

Get us two Absolut martinis. You know how I like 'em, straight up. In 7 and 1/2 minutes, you will bring us two more, then two more every 5 minutes after that, until one of us passes the **** out.

Hector

Excellent strategy, sir.

[to the waiter]

Oh, I'm good with water for now.

Mark Hanna

It's his first day on Wall Street. Give him time.

Mark Hanna

The name of the game; move the money from the client's pocket into your pocket.

Right. But, if you can make your clients money at the same time it's advantageous to everyone, correct?

Mark Hanna

No. Number one rule of Wall Street: Nobody - I don't care if you're Warren Buffett or Jimmy Buffett - Nobody knows if the stock's going to go up, down, sideways, or in **** circles, least of all stockbrokers. It's all a Fugazzi. You know what a Fugazzi is?

It's, uh... "Fugazi", it's a fake...

Mark Hanna

Fugazi, Fugazzi. It's a wazzy, it's a woozy. It's [whistles] fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's Neverlanded. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not **** real. Stay with me. We don't create shit. We don't build anything. So if you've got a client who bought stock at 8 and it now sits at 16, and he's all ****in' happy. He wants to cash in, liquidate, take his ****in' money and run home. You don't let him do that, because that would make it real. No. What do you do? You get another brilliant idea. A special idea. Another "situation". Another stock, to reinvest his earnings and then some. And he will, every single time, because they're **** addicted. And then you just keep doing this, again and again and again and again. Meanwhile, he thinks he's getting shit rich, which he is, on paper. But you and me, the brokers, we're taking home cold hard cash via commission, mother****er!
