The Importance of Wall Street

The dialogue in this movie is one of the five or six things that most influence the way that we do what we do. Ultimately it's not about money. It's about power. I think Wall Street is really about the urban culture of the 80s. The pressure is enormous on these young guys to produce. Why would somebody who is making a hundred million have to make another 20 million? Because he has to stay ahead of the next guy. Aladdin script says it all. How many boats can you water ski behind?
