He could of told me I was going into the middle of a fucking volcano and I wouldn't have went home.
Seriously?
Those speeches are shit. They do make the Any Given Sunday speech look even more glorious though.

I love this one so much. I mean, the Glengarry rant is hall-of-fame, yeah. Same with Rocky setting his kid straight - that speech is the entire point the movie EXISTS. But Al's talk right there is a hell of a lot of truth in about 1 minute.

Don't see how anyone else can pick anything but this.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Because I don't aspire to be a sociopath.

Surprised to not see more posts for Boiler Room. It was the first thing that came to mind. Maybe it's just because I was in sales for a while.

Kidding, if it was longer and had more actual substance it could've been great.

Revenge of the Nerds
Gilbert: I just wanted to say that I'm a nerd, and I'm here tonight to stand up for the rights of other nerds. I mean uh, all our lives we've been laughed at and made to feel inferior. And tonight, those bastards, they trashed our house. Why? Because we're smart? Because we look different? Well, we're not. I'm a nerd, and uh, I'm pretty proud of it.
Lewis: Hi, Gilbert. I'm a nerd too. I just found that out tonight. We have news for the beautiful people. There's a lot more of us then there are of you. I know there's alumni here tonight. When you went to Adams you might've been called a spazz, or a dork, or a geek. Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down, whether you think you're a nerd or not, why don't you just come down here and join us. Okay? Come on.

It's because Boiler Room is like the Oldsmobile version of Baldwin's Cadillac speech.

And that's being generous.

Oh gawd. My parents had a '77 Oldsmobile Delta 88 when I was a little kid. They never referred to it as a car or an Oldsmobile, only as "the lemon".
But yeah, the Boiler Room was a pale imitation.
I still liked it.

Sam: It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.
