is his business offices, where business deals are decided on.
Wildman is in town. Something big is going down.
A very slangy way of saying something important is going to happen.
If the SEC found out, I could go to jail. That’s inside information, isn’t it?
The SEC is the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates the
sale of stocks. "Inside information" is a key legal term which refers to
information that is not allowed to be passed on by company executives or
employees to others, since it could effect stock prices.
Unless your father is on the board of directors of another company,
you and I are going to have a very tough time doing business together.
The "Board of Directors" of a company sets general policies for that
company. If you have a "tough time" doing something, it is hard to do.
I’m not talking about some $400,000 a year
working Wall Street stiff flying first class.
A "working stiff" is a slang term for a middle class guy who works
hard to survive. For Gekko, $400,000 a year (in 1985!) was a small salary!
I’m talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your
own jet. $100,000,000 dollars. A player...or nothing.
In this context, if a person is "liquid," they have so much money they
can effect the future of entire companies. "A player" is that wealthy.
You had what it took to get into my office; The
question is if you have what it takes to stay there.
If a person "has what it takes" to do something, they have the
skill and determination to do it, even if it is extremely difficult.
Bud begins to spy for Gekko, meets Darien at a party,
and sees Gekko and Larry in a classic corporate raider’s battle.
He had lunch at Les Circus with a group
of well dressed heavy set bean counters.
If a person is "heavy set," they are physically big. A "bean counter" is a
slang term for an accountant, or a person who counts profits and losses.
He later stopped off at Morgan, and from all the palm pressing
going on, I’d say Larry got himself some nice fat financing.
"Morgan Stanley" is a very big investment bank. "Palm pressing" is
a silly way of referring to a handshake, and some nice "fat financing"
is Bud’s way of referring to a large amount of investment money.
Bright, but not bright enough, Sherlock.
Let’s roll the dice and play a little monopoly.
"Bright" is a common way of saying intelligent. "Sherlock" is a reference
to Sherlock Holms, the fictional but very smart private detective. "Monopoly"
is a famous board game in which players land on individual squares in hopes
of buying the real estate they represent.
What box will land in Eerie, Pennsylvania?
An industrial town in Western Pennsylvania where Anacott Steel
is located, which is the company that Wildman wants to buy.
Call the Wall Street Chronicle, extension 1605, and you tell
the man "Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steal." You got that?
An "extension number" is the one that links you to the phone of a
particular person within a company, after you reach the company itself.
"You got that?" is a common way of asking "Do you understand?"
Start buying Anacott Steal across the boards.
Use the off-shore accounts and keep it quiet.
In this case, to buy something "across the boards" is to buy it using
many different accounts. An "off-shore" account is one that is located
outside the US, often in small island-nations like the Cayman Islands.
Lou, I got a sure thing. :: No sure thing, except death and taxes.
In this context, "a sure thing" is a stock that is guaranteed to go up.
There are no short-cuts. Quick-buck artists come and go with every
bull market, but the steady players make it through the bear markets.
A "short-cut" is a faster way of doing something. "Quick-buck artists" are
suspicious people who try to make a lot of money very fast, often by cheating
others. "Steady players make it through the bear markets" is Lou’s way of saying
calm and disciplined investors survive well even if the stock market drops for
an extended period of time.
You got to get to the big time first, and then
you can be a pillar and do good things.
"The big time" is Bud’s way of referring to a situation where you make huge
amounts of money. A "pillar" is a physical foundation for a building, or here,
a reference to being a "pillar of the community."
I know this 18 year old bimbette that’s just gorgeous.
A "bimbette" is a silly version of "bimbo," which is a funny slang word for a
stupid or uneducated but often pretty girl. "Gorgeous" is another word for beautiful.
Take it and bid it. Make the tape. Bet the ranch. Buy 100,000 shares.
These are all ways of saying to buy stock. "To bet the ranch" also
means to risk everything on one decision or investment.
First lesson in business. Don’t get emotional about stock; It clouds the judgement.
If something "clouds your judgement" it is difficult to think rationally or clearly.
He doesn’t talk back, doesn’t steal the silverware,
and Dick here is going to get me an exemption.
If a person "talks back," they defiantly or impolitely respond to a person,
often by interrupting in anger. A "tax exemption" is a term in accounting which
allows a person to buy something and then claim it is a business expense, so that
they can pay less total tax.
Stick around; This could be fun.
A very common way of saying "stay here."
Oh, how ghastly! You should see her.
A powerful adjective which means horrible, sickening or shocking.
A few thousand dollars down the tubes, if you ask me.
If money goes "down the tubes," it is wasted or lost.
I guess you could kiss your career as an art appraiser goodbye.
"To kiss something goodbye" is a slangy way of saying to lose it (or here,
to not be able to ever get it). An "art appraiser" is a person who judges
the value of paintings and other types of art.
It’s nice if you’re on mushrooms.
A reference to hallucinogenic mushrooms, which are
(illegal) drugs that make people hallucinate, or see illusions.
He really took a bath on this. :: I’d say Gordon
is one of the most astute collectors around.
"To take a bath" on an investment is to lose a lot of money on it.
If a person is "astute," they’re very smart and easily notice small details.
I’m sure you could do wonders with my place.
If an interior decorator can "do wonders" with an
apartment, they can greatly improve how it looks.
I’ll be moving to the East Side soon. A couple of deals brewing with Gordon.
The Upper East Side is the New York neighborhood East of Central Park and on
the other side of the park from the Upper West Side. If a business deal is "brewing,"
it is in the process of being made.
What if I have a previous engagement? :: You break it.
An "engagement" is another word for a meeting or social
obligation. "To break" an engagement is to cancel it.
No, this time I’m in for the long term. It’s not a liquidation.
To be "in for the long term" means to be involved for a long
period of time. A company "liquidation" is the act of selling
all of its property and then shutting it down.
I’m going to turn it around. You’re getting a free ride on my tail.
This is Larry’s way of complaining that Gekko is able to make lots of money without
risk, by buying the stock of a company that Gekko knows Larry wants to buy.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you acquired CJE
electronics, and you laid off, what, 6,000 workers.
"To lay off" workers is to fire them. This is Gekko’s way of saying that
Larry does not have a history of being a good guy, but in fact buys and
liquidates companies just like Gekko.
I could dump the stock just to burn your ass, but I happen to want the company.
Larry’s way of saying he could sell all his shares in the company, and thus drive
down the price of the stock, which means Gekko himself would lose lots of money.
And I want your block of shares. I’m
announcing a tender offer at 65 tomorrow.
A common term in business in which one buyer offers to buy
all the stock in a company (Here, at $65 dollars a share).
Showdowns bore me, Larry, nobody wins. You can have the company.
A "showdown" is a major battle between two great enemies.
It’s going to be fun watching you and your
giant ego try to make a horse race of it.
A person’s "ego" is the psychological confidence that they have
in themselves. "To make a horse race" of a difficult situation
is to do your best to try and succeed.
You’re a two-bit pirate and green mailer. Nothing more.
"Two pit" is a negative word which means very poor, bad or pitiful.
A "pirate" is man who sails the seas, stopping and robbing other ships.
A "green mailer" is a person who buys weak companies, often in order to break
them up, sell off their assets (property) and destroy them.
Not only would you sell your mother to make a deal, you’d send her C.O.D.
Cash on Demand. A product sent COD must be paid for by the receiver.
I had to sell. The key to the game is capital reserves, and if
you don’t have enough, you can’t piss with the big boys.
"Capital reserves" is the amount of money that a person or company has
which is ready to use for a potential purchase. This is Gekko’s way of
saying he didn’t have enough money to compete with Larry.
All warfare is based on deception. Sun Tzu.
"Deception" is the act of fooling a person into believing something
is true which is not. Tzu was a famous Chinese philosopher.
If your enemy is superior, evade him, if angry, irritate him,
if equally matched, fight, and if not, split and reevaluate.
"To evade" a person is to avoid or hide from them, and "to irritate" a
person is to greatly bother or annoy them. "To split" is a very slangy way
of saying to leave.
I want to be surprised. Astonish me, pal. New info.
I don’t care where or how you get it, just get it.
"To astonish" a person is to greatly surprise them.
"Info" is a very common way of meaning information.
As the money grows bigger, Ben increases
