Gekko:
The rarest pistol in the world, Larry. A .45 Luger. Only six of them were ever manufactured.

Wildman:
Congratulations. Rarer still is your interest in Anacott Steel.

Gekko:
My interest is the same as yours, Larry. Money. I thought it'd be a good investment for my kid.

Wildman:
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 the stock, I could modernize the plant. I'm not the only one who pays here, Gordon. We're talking about lives and jobs, three and four generations of steelworkers.

Gekko:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you acquired CNX Electronics you laid off, what, 6000 workers? Jemson Fruit, 4000? That airline you bought …

Wildman:
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.
