The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe courtesy visit curdles. Jordan needles Denham about subway sweat and a three-day suit, then tells a parable about an intern, a sick mother, and a trade north of half a million. Denham asks him to say it again, the same way, and names it: you just tried to bribe a federal officer. Jordan throws them off the Naomi. Denham smiles and calls him little man.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageYou think about the people that built this country, hardworking people like you. Firefighters, teachers, FBI agents. End of the day, you guys get fucking skinned alive financially. It fucking makes me angry. Now the one thing about Wall Street and this market is, for me, I feel it's good to give back. You know, there's... There are situations where I can make those situations better for people. You know? Opportunity is everything. Exactly. Take for example, I got this one kid, right? Went to school for environmental science, something like that. He was bogged down by student loans. Turns out, his mother needed triple bypass surgery. - Jesus. - Right. Horrible situation. Sure. But we got him into the market at the right time and chose the right stock. We gave him the right guidance. Boom! Overnight, changed his entire life. Got to put his mother into the best hospital in New York City. It didn't work out for her, granted, she passed away, unfortunately. But we gave him that opportunity. You know what I'm saying? It's just about setting up the right team, and then overnight your life can change.
你想想那些建设这个国家的人, 像你这样卖力干活的人。 消防员、教师、联邦探员。 到头来,你们钱上被他妈剥得精光。 这他妈让我来气。 华尔街和这个市场有一点是, 对我来说,我觉得 回报社会是好事。你知道,有些…… 有些情况下我能 把那些人的处境变好。你懂吧? 机会 才是一切。 没错。 比方说,我有这么个小伙子,对吧? 读的环境科学之类的。 学生贷款把他压得喘不过气。 结果他妈还得做三路搭桥。 - 天哪。 - 对。惨得很。 可不是。 但我们在对的时机把他带进市场 还选对了股票。 我们给了他正确的指导。 嘭!一夜之间,整个人生都变了。 能把他妈妈送进 纽约市最好的医院。 对她来说没成, 说真的,她后来还是走了,很遗憾。 但我们给了他那个机会。 你懂我说的吧? 就是把对的班子搭起来, 然后一夜之间人生就能翻盘。
