"Now, what are commodities?" "Commodities are agricultural products." "Like coffee, thatyou had for breakfast." "Wheat, which is used to make bread." "Pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a bacon and lettuce and tomato sandwich." "Then there are other commodities like frozen orangejuice and gold." "Though, of course, gold doesn't grow on trees like oranges." "Clear so far?" "Yeah." "Good, William." "Now, some of our clients are speculating that the price of gold will rise in the future." "And we have other clients who are speculating that the price of gold is going to fall." "They place their orders with us and we buy or sell their gold forthem." "Tell him the good part." "The good part, William, is that, no matterwhether our clients make money or lose money," "Duke  Duke get the commissions." "Well, what do you think, Valentine?" "Well, it sounds to me like you guys are a couple of bookies." "I told you he'd understand." "It doesn't take a genius to figure outwhat happened." "It's the same guy who tried to rob the payroll."

"You know those people?" "He was wearing my Harvard tie." "Can you believe it?" "My Harvard tie." "Like, oh, sure, he went to Harvard." "I mean, if he's being driven around in my car, he could actually be living in my house." "Maybe he's even taken my job." "You know, for all I know, right at this moment he could be fondling my fiancée." "And Coleman." "Afteryears of service, this betrayal." "I don't understand it." "There's going to be retribution." "Oh, he's going to pay." "The things that I am going to..." "Shut up, Louis." "Listen, taxis cost money, food costs money and rent costs money!" "Now, you want me to help you out, I expect a lot in return." "These were here when I moved in." "Put them on ifyou want." "Look, I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate this..." "Ophelia." "Ophelia." "You realize that that's the name..." "I know, I know, I know." "Hamlet's girlfriend." "He went crazy, she killed herself." "This is not Shakespeare, Louis." "Look, I'm 24 years old." "I'm from a small, miserable little mining town you probably never heard of." "The only thing I've got going for me in this whole big, wide world is this body, this face, and what I got up here." "I don't do drugs and I don't have a pimp." "This place is a dump, but it's cheap, it's clean and it's all mine." "I've saved 42 grand and it's in T-Bills earning interest."

"I help you getyourself back on yourfeet and you pay me, in cash, five figures." "That's the deal and it's not subject to negotiation." "Understood?" "By the way, food and rent are not the only things around here that cost money." "You sleep on the couch." "It's hit rock bottom." "Come on, let's buy." "Mortimer Duke here." "Buy 200 May belly contracts at 66.8." "Put them on my personal account." "That's a big mistake, man." "Valentine, something very important is going on here." "Justwatch." "All right, butyou all gonna get reamed on this one." "Why shouldn'twe buy now, William?" "Price is going to keep going down." "Randolph, this isn't Monopoly money we're playing with." "This is Randolph Duke." "Hold that belly order a moment." "Tell mejustwhy you think the price of pork bellies is going down, William." "It's Christmastime." "Everybody's uptight." "Could we please buy now, Randolph?" "All right, ifyou want to lose money, go ahead." "What are you trying to say, William?" "Okay." "Pork belly prices have been dropping all morning." "Which means everybody's sitting in their office and they're waiting forthem to hit rock bottom so they can buy cheap and go long." "So people that own the pork belly contracts are going bat shit." "'Cause they're thinking, "Hey, we're losing all our damn money" ""and Christmas is around the corner." ""And I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son" ""the G.I. Joe with the kung fu grip," okay?"

"Money isn't everything, Randolph." "Advise our clients interested in bellies to buy at 64." "Mr. Valentine has set the price." "Well done, William." "Verywell done." "Come on, Randolph, we're gonna be late." "Yo." "Mortimer dropped his money clip." "You can count it." "It's all there, all of it." "Thank you, William." "It's all there, man, count it."
