Ben Affleck's speech in Boiler Room

• >> Yeah group interview, my ass.
• It was like a Hitler Youth rally
  in retrospect.
• The guy who pitched us, Jim Young,
  was the head recruiter there.
• >> Okay guys let's go.
• >> Between him and Michael, honestly,
  they could sell bubble gum
• in the lockjaw ward at Bellevue.
• >> I'm sorry man, this is my seat.
• >> Shit, I'm so sorry
  >> It's OK, don't worry about it.
• >> Fucking dumbass!
• >> Get the fuck outta here.
• >> What?
• >> Don't talk to me, don't look at me
  just pick your ass up
• outta that Italian leather chair and
  get the fuck out of this room
• right now.
• Come on let's go, schleprock! Out!
• That's it.
• We expect everyone here
  to treat their co-workers
• with a certain level of respect.
• OK, before we get started
  I have one question.
• Has anyone here passed
  the Series Seven exam?
• >> I have a Series Seven license
• >> Good for you, you can get out too.
• >> What? Why?
• >> We don't hire brokers here,
  we train new ones.
• That's it, Skippy: pack your shit let's go.
• OK, here's the deal.
• I'm not here to waste your time.
• OK, I certainly hope you're not here
  to waste mine
• So I'm going to keep this short.
• Become an employee of this firm,
  you will make your first million
• within three years.
• OK?
• I'm gonna repeat that: you will make
• a million dollars within three years
  of your first day of employment
• at JT Marlin.
• There is no question
• as to whether or not
  you'll become a millionaire working here.
• The only question is how many times over.
• You think I'm joking?
• I'm not joking.
• I am a millionaire.
• It's a weird thing to hear, right?
• Tell you: it's a weird thing to say.
• I am a fucking millionaire.
• Now guess how old I am.
• 27.
• You know what that makes me here?
  A fucking senior citizen.
• This firm is entirely comprised
  of people your age, not mine
• Lucky for me, I happen to be
  very fucking good at my job
• or I'd be out of one.
• You guys are the new blood.
• You're going to go home with the Kecak (?).
• You are the future
  big swingin' dicks of this firm.
• Now you all look money hungry
  and that's good.
• Anybody tells you money is
  the root of all evil
• doesn't fucking have any.
• They say money can't buy happiness:
• look at the fucking smile on my face.
• Ear to ear, baby.
• You want details? Fine:
• I drive a Ferrari 355 Cabriolet.
• What's that?
• I have a ridiculous house in the South Fork.
• I have every toy you can possibly imagine.
• And best of al,l kids, I am liquid.
• So now you know what's possible,
  let me tell you what's required.
• You are required to work
  your fucking ass off at this firm.
• We want winners here, not pikers.
• A piker walks at the bell,
• a piker asks how much vacation time
  you get in the first year.
• Vacation time!
• People come and work at this firm
  for one reason:
• to become filthy rich: that's it!
• We're not here to make friends.
• We're not saving the fucking manatees
  here, guys.
• Want vacation time?
  Go teach third grade public school.
• OK.
• First three months at the firm
  as a trainee
• -- mm-hmm -- You make $150 a week.
• After you're done training
  you take the Series Seven.
• You pass that you become a junior broker
• and you're opening accounts
  for your team leader.
• You open 40 accounts,
  start working for yourself:
• sky's the limit.
• Word or two about being a trainee.
• Friends, parents, the other brokers,
  whoever:
• they'll give you shit about it.
• It's true: $150 a week: not a lot of money
• Pay them no mind.
• You need to learn this business
  and this is the time to do it.
• Once you pass the test
  none of that's gonna matter.
• your friends will shit.
• 'It's earned me 25 grands last month.'
• They're not gonna fucking believe you.
• Fuck them, fuck off!
• Parents don't like the life you lead?
• Fuck you, Mom and Dad!
• See how it feels when you're making
  their fucking Lexus payments.
• Now go home and think about it.
• Think about whether or not
  this is really for you.
• If you decide it isn't,
• listen it's nothing
  to be embarrassed about.
• It's not for everyone -- mm-hmm, thanks.
• But if you really want this,
  you call me on Monday
• and we'll talk.
• Just don't waste my fucking time.
• Okay, that's it.
