Yeah, not bad for a City College boy. I bought my way in, now all these Ivy league schmucks are sucking my kneecaps.

Not from a movie but sound advice nevertheless:
Mr. Burns: I’ll keep it short and sweet — Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.

Do Sex and the City and The Godather really belong on the same list?
mrquackerAug 21, 2010
They do if you're making a top 50 list and run out of ideas.

If you're comparing s**t with pure awesome.

The Godfather is boring and s**tty. At least Sex and the City has better looking cast members.

Coffee is for closers.
Can't believe that didn't make the list.

Well, its a list of money quotes, not great quotes on selling.
wifigodAug 21, 2010
Yet they quoted a line from the very same monologue that my above quote is from.....
123bucklemyshoeAug 21, 2010
One of my favorite, quotes is "punk you feeling lucky?" It makes me laugh even though it's serious haha. Unfortunately I can't Digg this story because it will throw off my Recommendation Engine (I'm extremely interested in science and programming) interesting story though.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

I was looking forward to the next "Wall Street" movie until I saw Shia LaDouche was in it.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.

How does Thorton Mellon not make the list.

Then there are the long term costs such as waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with that business, but I assure you, it's not the boy scouts.

Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
That's the pithiest quote in a list with FIFTY quotes on it? How boring is this list going to be?

Does this look like spit to you?
elcadAug 21, 2010
So number 50 is the best? WTF, go back to Top 50 List School.
List also needed: "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"
Plenty of good quotes from Glengarry Glen Ross and they picked on of the lamer ones. Could have gone with:
"...the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. "Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."
or
"That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a s**t. Good father? f**k you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you ****s****r? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don't like it, leave."
or
"And to answer you question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your f**king ass because a loser is a loser."
or
"You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes brass balls to sell real estate."
or
"Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers only."

This should've been number 1 (from Caddyshack):
Danny Noonan: I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won't have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails: Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.

What do you want?

The Graduate:
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.

Wall Street is absolutely chock-full of great finance related quotes. Like these two, for example:
"There's no nobility in poverty."
"It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation."

Not exactly money quotes but:
If you need a friend, get a dog. - GG
That's the one thing you have to remember about WASPs: they love animals and hate people. - GG

This isn't exactly about money, but its related. Its the monologue of the fall guy in Syriana as he gets arrested.
"Some trust fund prosecutor, got off-message at Yale thinks he's gonna run this up the flagpole? Make a name for himself? Maybe get elected some two-bit congressman from nowhere, with the result that Russia or China can suddenly start having, at our expense, all the advantages we enjoy here? No, I tell you. No, sir! Corruption charges! Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win." -- Danny Dalton (Syriana)
