It does indeed. Hint…

"Well, I appreciate the opportunity you're giving me Mr. Cromwell as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak. Well, ladies and gentlemen we're not here to indulge in fantasy but in political and economic reality. America, America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. Now, in the days of the free market when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder. The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company! All together, these men sitting up here own less than three percent of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million-dollar salary? Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than one percent. You own the company. That's right, you, the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their luncheons, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes."

Is this a hint for the quote above it? Are either Bruce Willis movies?

They are the same movies. Bruce Willis is not in it. Matt Damon is in it.

Frank Costello: I got this rat, this gnawing, cheese eating @#$%^&* rat and it brings up questions... You know, see, Bill, like you're the new guy. Girlfriend... Why don't you stay in the bar that night I got your numbers. Social Security numbers. Everybody's @#$%^&* numbers.

Billy Costigan: Is there something that you just wanna go ahead and ask me? 'Cause I'll give you the @#$%^&* answer, all right? Frank, look at me. Look at me. I'm not the @#$%^&* rat. Okay? I'm not the @#$%^&* rat.

(I assume this means I'm correct. )

Yes!

 

[blunthead]

Yes!

Cool! Great movie, too.

I haven't had a clue on these last few (except for the planet of the apes one).

"Fox, where the hell are you? I am losing MILLIONS! You got me into this airline and you sure as hell better get me out or the only job you'll ever have on the Street is SWEEPING IT! You hear me, Fox?

You once told me, don't get emotional about stock. Don't! The bid is 16 1/2 and going down. As your broker, I advise you to take it."

Ding! Ding! Ding! You got it! As soon as I posted it I thought maybe someone would guess that movie Kevin Bacon was in where he became invisible, but I can't remember the name of it (and I'm too tired and lazy right now to go to IMDB).

Kevin Bacon became invisible? That's an improvement! (Not exactly one of my favourite actors to tell the truth). Has he gotten any better with age? He was a prat in Footloose
