    "When cherries are red, they're ready for plucking. When girls are 16, they're ready for fu*king."

    Then go on to talk about potential merger and acquisition candidates...

    Banya: I just stopped by to thank you. That risk management stuff you wrote
    for me? It's killer!

    Jerry: Risk management?

    Banya: Aw, it's gold, Jerry! Gold! I got all these corporate gigs and even
    Cynthia took me back.

    Start your speech by saying, "GOOOD MORNING VIETNAM!"

    Instant laughs.

    You can't go wrong with a Gordon Gekko speech...

    other quotables...

    "Read Sun-tzu, The Art of War. Every battle is won before it is ever fought."

    "It's all about the bucks kid, the rest is conversation."

    "And if you need a friend, get a dog."

    "And I'm not talking about some four-hundred thousand dollar a year, working Wall Street stiff, flying first-class, being comfortable, I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to buy your own jet, rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred-million dollars Buddy, a player."

    "That's the thing about wasps, they love animals, can't stand people."

    "Just got on the board at the Bronx Zoo, cost me a mill."

    "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 bullsh1t. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own."

    "We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price of a paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of a hat while everybody sits around wondering how the hell we did it. Now you’re not naïve enough to think that we’re living in a democracy, are you, Buddy? It’s the free market, and you’re part of it."

    (Slam, slam, slam!) "Blood alone moves the wheels of history! Have you ever asked yourselves in an hour of meditation which everyone finds during the day, how long we've been striving for greatness? (Slam!) Not only the years we've been at war, the war of work. But from the moment as a child when we realize that the world can be conquered. It has been a life time struggle (Slam!), a never ending fight, I say to you (Slam!), and you will understand that it is a privilege to fight! We are warriors!! Salesmen of north-eastern Pennsylvania I ask you, once more rise and be worthy of this historical hour!"

    "No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend (Slam!) itself!"
