Glad to hear things are turning for you. Good Luck in your new venture.

[Pasterbator]

Beeeef,

Good read. I have no doubts that you will pwn the world of mortgage broker-ing. For realz.


I'll be coming out for each of the next 234987 vegas trips, so hopefully you'll be out there the next few times.

Be good. Live your life.

And if you ever need to bitch about anything, you know where to find me!

Plot Summary for
Boiling Point (1993/I)

Red is an aging scam-artist who's just been released from prison together with Ronnie, a young and not-so-bright hoodlum who is easily manipulated. Their new business is to organize fake-money sales and then kill the buyer to take his money; but when Ronnie kills an undercover secret service agent, his partner Jimmy Mercer vows revenge and is given one week to catch the killers before being transferred.

----------

In all seriousness though, good luck in your career.

Did you mean "Boiling Point" or "Boiler Room"??



<u>JIM (Ben Affleck)</u> : This is the deal. I am not here to waste your time and I can only hope you're not here to waste mine. So I'm gonna keep this short. You become an employee of this firm and you will make your first million within three years. Okay? Let me repeat that. You will make a million dollars within three years of your first day of employment at JT Marlin. Everybody got that? There is no question as to whether you will be a millionaire working at this firm, the question is how many times over.

You think I'm joking. I am not joking. I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing to hear, right? I'll tell you, it's a weird thing to say. I'm a f2cking millionaire. Now guess how old I am? Twenty-seven. You know what that makes me here? A f2cking senior citizen. This firm is entirely comprised of people your age, not mine. Lucky for me, I am very f2cking good at my job or I'd be out of one. You guys are the new blood. You're gonna go home with the kesef. You're the future Big- Swinging-D!cks of this firm. Now you all look money hungry and that's good. Anybody who says money is the root of all evil, doesn't have it! Money can't buy happiness? Look at the f2cking smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby. You wanna hear details? I drive a Ferrari 355 cabriolet. I have a ridiculous house on the South Fork. I've got every toy you can imagine. And best of all, kids, I am liquid.

So now that you know what's possible, let me tell you what's required. You are required to work your 2ss off. We want winners, not pikers. A piker is someone who walks at the bell. A piker asks how much vacation time he gets in the first year. See, people work here to become filthy rich. No other reason. That's it. You want vacation time? Go teach third grade public school.

Your first six months at the firm are as a trainee... you make one hundred and fifty dollars a week. After you're done training, you take the Series Seven test. When you pass, you become a junior broker and you'll be opening accounts for your team leader. After you open forty accounts you begin working for yourself and then... sky's the limit. Now a word about being a trainee. The other brokers, your parents, whoever: they're gonna give you sh!t about it. And it's true, a hundred and fifty a week is not a lot of money, but pay no mind. You need to learn the business and this is the time to do it. Once you pass the Series Seven none of it will matter.

Your friends are sh!t. You're gonna tell them you made twenty-five thousand last month and they're not going to believe you. F2ck them! Your parents don't like the life you lead? F2ck you Mom and Dad! See how you feel when I'm making your f2cking Lexus payment. Now go home and think about whether this is for you. If you decide it isn't, nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not for everyone. But if you really want it, then give me a call on Monday and we'll talk. Just don't waste my f2cking time. Alright. That's it.

This move is f'n awesome. This scene in particular is just priceless. This is what I should do with my day: watch Boiler Room. I need to work out though and didn't play poker for damn near a week because of Thanksgiving Break and school though so I'll prolly just play some pokah after I eventually drag myself to the gym.

Seriously, though, this is great John. I don't know you that well but have always got a kick out of your posts and contributions to the forum. I'll give you a shout next time I'm in Columbus (probably early next year).
