Ben Affleck's speech in Boiler Room
-
0:00 - 0:02>> Yeah group interview, my [expletive].
-
0:02 - 0:05It was like a Hitler Youth rally
in retrospect. -
0:05 - 0:08The guy who pitched us, Jim Young,
was the head recruiter there. -
0:08 - 0:09>> Okay guys let's go.
-
0:10 - 0:14>> Between him and Michael, honestly,
they could sell bubble gum -
0:14 - 0:15in the lockjaw ward at Bellevue.
-
0:27 - 0:29>> I'm sorry man, this is my seat.
-
0:30 - 0:32>> [expletive], I'm so sorry
>> It's OK, don't worry about it. -
0:36 - 0:37>> [expletive] [expletive]!
-
0:38 - 0:40>> Get the [expletive] out of here.
-
0:41 - 0:42>> What?
-
0:42 - 0:44>> Don't talk to me, don't look at me
just pick your [expletive] up -
0:44 - 0:47out of that Italian leather chair and
get the [expletive] out of this room -
0:47 - 0:48right now.
-
0:49 - 0:52Come on let's go, [expletive]! Out!
-
0:55 - 0:57That's it.
-
0:58 - 1:00We expect everyone here
to treat their co-workers -
1:00 - 1:02with a certain level of respect.
-
1:03 - 1:05OK, before we get started
I have one question. -
1:05 - 1:07Has anyone here passed
the Series Seven exam? -
1:08 - 1:10>> I have a Series Seven license
-
1:10 - 1:12>> Good for you, you can get out too.
-
1:12 - 1:13>> What? Why?
-
1:14 - 1:16>> We don't hire brokers here,
we train new ones. -
1:17 - 1:19That's it, Skippy: pack your [expletive], let's go.
-
1:26 - 1:27OK, here's the deal.
-
1:28 - 1:29I'm not here to waste your time.
-
1:29 - 1:31OK, I certainly hope you're not here
to waste mine -
1:31 - 1:33So I'm going to keep this short.
-
1:33 - 1:36Become an employee of this firm,
you will make your first million -
1:36 - 1:37within three years.
-
1:38 - 1:38OK?
-
1:38 - 1:41I'm going to repeat that: you will make
-
1:41 - 1:46a million dollars within three years
of your first day of employment -
1:46 - 1:47at JT Marlin.
-
1:47 - 1:48There is no question
-
1:49 - 1:51as to whether or not
you'll become a millionaire working here. -
1:51 - 1:53The only question is how many times over.
-
1:54 - 1:55You think I'm joking?
-
1:56 - 1:57I'm not joking.
-
1:58 - 1:59I am a millionaire.
-
2:00 - 2:01It's a weird thing to hear, right?
-
2:02 - 2:04Tell you: it's a weird thing to say.
-
2:04 - 2:06I am an [expletive] millionaire.
-
2:07 - 2:08Now guess how old I am.
-
2:08 - 2:0927.
-
2:10 - 2:13You know what that makes me here?
An [expletive] senior citizen. -
2:14 - 2:17This firm is entirely comprised
of people your age, not mine -
2:17 - 2:20Lucky for me, I happen to be
very [expletive] good at my job -
2:20 - 2:21or I'd be out of one.
-
2:21 - 2:23You guys are the new blood.
-
2:23 - 2:24You're going to go home with the Kecak (?).
-
2:24 - 2:28You are the future
big swingin' [expletive] of this firm. -
2:28 - 2:31Now you all look money hungry
and that's good. -
2:32 - 2:34Anybody tells you money is
the root of all evil -
2:34 - 2:35doesn't [expletive] have any.
-
2:35 - 2:37They say money can't buy happiness:
-
2:37 - 2:39look at the [expletive] smile on my face.
-
2:40 - 2:41Ear to ear, baby.
-
2:41 - 2:43You want details? Fine:
-
2:43 - 2:46I drive a Ferrari 355 Cabriolet.
-
2:47 - 2:47What's that?
-
2:48 - 2:51I have a ridiculous house in the South Fork.
-
2:51 - 2:53I have every toy you can possibly imagine.
-
2:53 - 2:56And best of al,l kids, I am liquid.
-
2:57 - 3:00So now you know what's possible,
let me tell you what's required. -
3:02 - 3:05You are required to work
your [expletive] [expletive] off at this firm. -
3:06 - 3:08We want winners here, not [expletive].
-
3:09 - 3:10An [expletive] walks at the bell,
-
3:11 - 3:13an [expletive] asks how much vacation time
you get in the first year. -
3:13 - 3:15Vacation time!
-
3:15 - 3:18People come and work at this firm
for one reason: -
3:18 - 3:20to become filthy rich: that's it!
-
3:20 - 3:21We're not here to make friends.
-
3:21 - 3:23We're not saving the [expletive] manatees
here, guys. -
3:23 - 3:26Want vacation time?
Go teach third grade public school. -
3:32 - 3:33OK.
-
3:34 - 3:36First three months at the firm
as a trainee -
3:36 - 3:38-- mm-hmm -- You make $150 a week.
-
3:39 - 3:41After you're done training
you take the Series Seven. -
3:41 - 3:43You pass that you become a junior broker
-
3:43 - 3:44and you're opening accounts
for your team leader. -
3:44 - 3:47You open 40 accounts,
start working for yourself: -
3:47 - 3:48sky's the limit.
-
3:48 - 3:50Word or two about being a trainee.
-
3:50 - 3:52Friends, parents, the other brokers,
whoever: -
3:52 - 3:53they'll give you [expletive] about it.
-
3:53 - 3:55It's true: $150 a week: not a lot of money
-
3:56 - 3:57Pay them no mind.
-
3:57 - 4:00You need to learn this business
and this is the time to do it. -
4:00 - 4:03Once you pass the test
none of that's gonna matter. -
4:03 - 4:05your friends will [expletive].
-
4:05 - 4:07'It's earned me 25 grands last month.'
-
4:07 - 4:08They're not gonna [expletive] believe you.
-
4:08 - 4:10[expletive] them, [expletive] off!
-
4:10 - 4:12Parents don't like the life you lead?
-
4:12 - 4:14[expletive] you, Mom and Dad!
-
4:15 - 4:19See how it feels when you're making
their [expletive] Lexus payments. -
4:19 - 4:21Now go home and think about it.
-
4:21 - 4:23Think about whether or not
this is really for you. -
4:23 - 4:24If you decide it isn't,
-
4:24 - 4:26listen it's nothing
to be embarrassed about. -
4:26 - 4:29It's not for everyone -- mm-hmm, thanks.
-
4:30 - 4:35But if you really want this,
you call me on Monday -
4:35 - 4:37and we'll talk.
-
4:37 - 4:39Just don't waste my [expletive] time.
-
4:41 - 4:42Okay, that's it.
