TRANSCRIPTION

Can I get you a drink? - No, thank you.

Larry! Excuse me. Sir Larry. How are ya? Goddamn, you look great!

Gordon.

So you wanna talk.

I'll be heading back now, Mr Gekko.

Stick around. This is one of my gang. Bud Fox. Shall we go upstairs?

Yeah.

The rarest pistol in the world, Larry. A .45 Luger. Only six of 'em were ever manufactured.

Congratulations. Rarer still is your interest in Anacott Steel.

My interest is the same as yours. Money. Thought it'd be a good investment for my kid.

No, this time I'm in for the long term. It's not a liquidation. I'm going to turn it around. You're getting a free ride on my tail, mate. With the dollars you're costing me to buy back stock, I could modernize the plant. I'm not the only one who pays here, Gordon. We're talking about lives and jobs. Four generations of steelworkers...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you got CNX Electronics, you laid off 6,000 workers. Jemson Fruit, 4,000. That airline you bought, um...

I could break you, mate. In two pieces over my knees. You know it. I know it. I could buy you six times over. I could dump the stock just to burn your arse! But I happen to want the company, and I want your block of shares. I'm announcing a tender offer at 65 tomorrow. I'm expecting your commitment.

Showdowns bore me, Larry. Nobody wins. You can have the company. In fact, it'll be fun watching you and your giant ego trying to make a horse race of it.

Buddy, what's a fair price for that stock?

The break-up value is higher. It's worth 89.

Well, we don't want to be greedy. So what do you say to 72?

You're a two-bit pirate and greenmailer. Nothing more, Gekko. Not only would you sell your mother to make a deal, you'd send her COD.

My mail is the same color as yours is, pal. Or at least it was until the Queen started calling you "Sir." Excuse me before I lose my temper.

71?

Considering you brought my mother into it, 71.50.

Done. You'll hear from my Iawyers tomorrow. Good night.

He's right, I had to sell. The key to the game is capital reserves. If you don't have enough, you can't piss in the tall weeds with the big dogs.

He's learning, huh? Buddy's learning!
