Jesus, can't make a buck in this market, country's going to hell faster than when that sonofabitch Roosevelt was around... too much cheap money sloshing around the world. The biggest mistake we ever made was letting Nixon get off the gold standard.

PS: Funny thing is, for you that know the movie, just before you see the NYSE and hear the bell with "1987" across the screen.. you hear Lynch with his pre-market blurb... appears the script is different from the movie..

The stentorian voice of OFFICE MANAGER HIERONYMUS LYNCH
booms over the intercom.

We see him peering from behind the glass partition in hit
office; tall, balding with a perpetual worried look on his
face.

LYNCH
Attention. Please. Office Production
is down ten percent this week. I
recommend that you all go through
your clients' investments for any
portfolio adjustments. And don't
forget -- double commissions today
on our 'A' or better bond funds.
(looking in Bud and
Marv's direction)
Especially you rookies. Also,
remember, the sales contest ends
tomorrow.

Bud and Marvin roll their eyes. The digital clock flashes
9:30. The CREDITS close.

BUD
And they're off and running!

The room rises to a subtle but new energy level with the
clatter of the ticker, speakers, teletype machines,
newsprinters' Dow Jones and Reuters, phones ringing off the
hook. Brokers are shouting orders, running for tickets,
dodging each other; it's a controlled riot.

BROKERS
Here's a hot lead... Have I got one
for you.... sell ... dump it all!!
... 500 at an eighth, an eighth!...
July fifties. April thirties...how
bout those Decembers? You see where
they're going? ... Morgan is
selling a billion one at the close.
Yeah. That's right, they're selling
all over the place... we're still
long on the treasuries -- $110
million. What about the Japs?
...Where am I?
(confused at all the
phone lights)
We gotta lot of lights here! Let's
pick 'em up.

BUD
(on phone)
Jack, take 50 Gulf, with a 3/8 top,
forget the hundred. What about
Delroy? I can go long at 23, let's
go long...Conwest Air -- let me
check it...
