- In this edition of let's take a study break presented by docren.com, Jim Young (Ben Affleck) a senior broker and head of HR at JT Marlin gives one of the realest first day on the job speeches in cinematic history to a group of unsuspecting brokers. This clip is from the 2000 film entitled, Boiler Room. For more effective ways to study visit our website docren.com follow us on twitter @docrenco like us on Facebook.
Most understated part of this... He gets rid of the guy with the series 7 license because he would expose the operation in 5 minutes
True. Or at least he would be like, what are you doing? You can’t do this. Anyone already with experience would be like, what’s going on here? You can’t do this.
@@davidmulhern5877 Would you really want to go against Affleck in this scene lool, he's so intimidating, which is done so well because Affleck knows he needs to put up this persona from the get-go, so that they know that this guy ain't messin loool
and @Winston 100% loool i clocked on my second watch why Affleck was so quick to dismiss that series 7 dude xD
ahh. didn’t know that thx
Skippy was a kangaroo
@@davidmulhern5877 Yeah that’s my exact point…. If you have a series 7 license already… You’ll spend 1 hour tops and see all the violations they do… remember this isn’t a “real” regulated company… they are doing a lot of cons so he would probably report them…
What they do is train you, make you loyal to the company then they will tell you reasons why they do their dodgy stuff…

The real reason for getting rid of the series seven exam guy is not that they want to mold their own brokers, they want fresh naive brokers who won’t know or call out the illegal shit they do
i never got that. They all have to get their Series 7 anyway he's just ahead of the curve. They could have still coached n molded him anyway they wanted hed be able to start sooner
@@grinchoi1even if they let him stay hoping or even knowing he wouldn't expose them they would still have to either pay him for the 40 initial clients that they keep for themselves in the movie or half of it or they wouldnt get 40 out of him in most real legal agency's you only have to prove yourself with 10-20(depending on the company)and that's if you dont have your s7 already so it's actually plenty of reasons to get rid of that guy
Remember ABC,Always be closing!!
The real reason was because that guy was a smug douchebag.
Besides he asked who passed the exam, not who had their license. We got hearing issues, hit the bricks, pal.
@grinchoi1 Right, but taking the ethics training before or after you're indoctrinated is going to make a big difference on how you internalise that information.
"You want vacation time, go teach third grade public school." Is a reference to his mother who was a 3rd grade school teacher at Tobin in Cambridge, MA. I had her as my homeroom teacher, she was one of the nicest teacher we had.
Pretty dick thing to say if his own mother is a teacher. I knew Affleck is a grade A douche!!
You got taught by Martha????
Why did you say that name????
What? That’s pretty cool, just do me a favor...get out now....to me that makes u an affiliate. We only want winners here! Now get the hell out! ...sorry got kind of carried away with Ben afflecks performance
I guess Will Hunting being a janitor in MIT was a reference to Ben’s dad being a janitor at Harvard
@Francis Serra yes i know the script are not written by him. However, actors do have some say in the script depending on how close they are with the director/producer. Sometimes they ask permission to alter the lines for latent references or just being witty. The line he said does not impact the main story, just adds to his characteristic. Don't pretend like actors NEVER get any say during a film, and they just follow orders like a bot.
Just passed the series 7 and came back to watch this lol

@@Gronk895 I took it three GD times. 68, 71, 71.
I was getting 80s and even some 90s in all my practice tests. I’m worn out. Like 9 months of studying total for absolutely no payoff. I’m bitter as all hell. Maybe one day, but no time soon.
@@FSUjonnyD do chop shops still exist or whatever they're called
@@phatlewt2932 XD the movie is called "Boiler room" lmao a "chop shop" is for stolen vehicles XD! Yeah they do, I worked in one kinda... You see a boiler room (a high pressure or just unethical telephonic sales team) in the context of securities sales can span on legitimacy. It can be a full scam where they sell you nothing from India, lie and just steal your money by draining your bank account. Or fully legit, where you are ethically but immorally talked into registered and fully disclosed investments like loaded mutual funds (I did this, not really screwing people but twisting arms to get sales). Or somewhere in between.
This movie revolves around the belfort case where they were engaging in market manipulation. Basically I call you tell you this stock is a great buy (only partially illegal to do so, also stock promoter firms are legal, this is the more preferred rout to do this today, not a boiler room) , I already own the stock, I sell it to you for more then I bought it for. I keep doing it, the price keeps climbing, when i've sold it all, I walk and the price tanks. People who bought high now own worthless trash they can sell for a huge loss. Hence the "pump n dump".
We saw this basically just happen with GameStop. The stock was being pumped on reddit, not via a boiler room, people bought, stopped out a few hedge funds (idiot political commentators that hardly have a HS Diploma let alone formal ed in finance loved this) then dumped. Anyone who bought has lost up to 85% of what they spent that didn't bail out before the dump. It doesn't take a Masters of science in quantitative finance to understand the tactics.
"We expect everyone here to treat their coworkers with a certain level of respect"
Later in the movie: team leaders saying "you couldn't close a fucking windows you moron!" and "you're in my team don't you forget it bitch" with impunity
Crooks don't practice what they preach, but they're willing to make up the rules as they go.
He said those things because he's a senior broker and because it was personal, because Seth was dating his ex girlfriend. Obviously they're not going to fire a senior broker for being impolite.
perception management
@@cuteshoesandbags8094 This should have been the movie's tagline.

My circle of friends were heavily involved in an MLM pyramid scheme many years ago. They were desperately trying to get me on board, and I refused to take part in the scam, which they insisted it wasn't. I was actually extremely insulted when they did, as they were clearly looking at me as the next sucker.
One night, we watched this movie at their "office." They absolutely loved it, trying to pick tactics from it. They failed to understand the FBI raid at the end, and I tried telling them, "Told ya this stuff is a scam." The ego is a funny thing, deciding when it wants you to understand, and when it needs you to remain blind to how you're ruining people's lives.
Omg…. You obviously don’t know WTF you are talking about. U sound like you’re putting down Network marketing. Probably because you have a shite personality, which comes through amazingly well in your comment. You probably could never do networking because it would require real leadership skills with a volunteer army of men & women. You have to actually care about people. You obviously have know clue. Sure there are some bad companies with bad leadership practices which is with any company. I have plenty of successful friends who work in the industry. Study to know what the industry is & quit talking out of the side of your ass… at least your friends had the guts to attempt to develop themselves and try to change and grow into people that other people would be willing to follow.
I see why Russillo uses this for his podcast. great scene
Only reason i came here. I had to see the scene
I love the thesis of this movie: that committing securities fraud is the upper middle class white boys version of selling crack.
“Upper middle class”? Tf? Having 400.000 dollars in the bank is upper middle class. Having the privelage to blow that shit on a yellow rari is rich. And the mansion, in New York? Yea the taxes alone should blow your grandmas retirement money. It’s always the youtube comment section that has something to say.
You would do it too lol
...or just selling crack
It doesn't have to be criminal activity... you could legally make a killing selling junk bonds, penny shares, sub-prime mortgage bundles or insurance policies that never pay out. There is no morality in capitalism. You have a proposition and you just create a dream and a pitch that you hope will sway those people that still believe there are better ways to make money than to work for it. That's how we ended up where we are, with tax-payers bailing out the banks when these "solid AAA Rated" derivatives turned out to be unicorn tears

Many people dislike Ben Affleck's acting, but I think he's cool. He's just different and has different unique style. This scene is cool and seems very organic like he was actually living through it.
Ben Affleck can nail any role no one can talk like him can listen to him talk for hours about anything
He's a great batman too. Ppl hate what they don't understand
I actually liked him in Good Will Hunting as well as Dazed and Confused.
He’s a great actor from business to action movies
I gotta admit, at first I thought he was just another interchangeable pretty-boy actor. But he's got this . . . menacing undercurrent going on
I first noticed this in "Dogma", when he slams Matt Damon against the wall and growls "We're going HOME, Loki!" OMG, I felt honestly frightened at that moment. He can unleash this volcanic, visceral RAGE, with no warning. It's amazing, actually
I used to have a role in compliance, and our "heavy hitters" would blow us off as they embraced this character's kind of attitude; they worshipped this movie. The regulatory environment changed and two of them ended up in court .... the company disavowed them, despite egging their exploits on behind closed doors. If you ever find yourself in this situation, be smart. Everyone loves a winner but they aren't going to post your bail.
@IHaveSwatches ...somebody's watched the big short.
@Kai Nope, they'll be the ones heaping charges on you.
@Harold Jenkins what do you do for a living?
LOL compliance in the financial markets is just a facade.
i love this speech but i always reference it as to why we always received the bs we did and the feedback we did from clients.
Ben Affleck gives many memorable speeches in films.
GlenGarry Glenn Ross and Alec Baldwin did it better
A poor man's Alec Baldwin at best.
Acting as if you got a 13in swinging penile matters in life😉
@@anishnehru3981 PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN!! COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS! ABC!
this type of sales is dead. Too many people are wise to the young quick slick talking good looking guy in a suit. They've all seen to many movies like this and the worlf of wallstreet to ever trust a cold call. Most sales environments nowadays (especially when its face to face) are more relaxed and not this cocky. At least not in front of the mark. A good example, A friend of mine sells insurance, he does very well. He has to go to the clients house or business to meet them and make the sale. He has a 65 thousand dollar BMW and had to stop driving it to meetings because when the clients saw him pull up they were immediately intimidated. He ended up buying a $30,000 Honda (brand new still a decent car) but his sales were double compared to when he drove the BMW. The first rule of sales, ABC Always-BE-Closing, second rule is you sell yourself not the product. When costumers could relate to him they were instantly more willing to trust him and open to the sale. Most people close or lose the sale within the first 5 minutes of meeting someone and dont even know it. If they dont like you, it doesn't matter if you're selling the mona lisa or toilet paper they're only thinking about how to get away from you.
@@pascallecompte4145 watch any stand up comedian or really anyone that does public speaking. If you think just anybody could go up and say the words and get a response then you're mistaken. I could memorize Robin Williams entire live on Broadway skit and read it back verbatim but do you think anyone would react the same way? No absolutely not. It's not something that can truly be learned. The legit good public speakers have a certain magnetism about them. You want to be friends with them, you want to please them, the are in a sense selling themselves. We do it every single day whether it be at work or with friends. Its the reason you shower and shave and wear nice clothes when going out with someone you want to impress. Does it matter that person across from you is just another meat sack of organs filled with blood and shit? No. Because they have something you want and gift wrapping yourself and speaking properly makes or breaks whether you get sex from them, the promotion you were interviewing for, the sale you were selling, or whatever else you were trying to get. It starts with you and how you present yourself. One wrong word could make or break the sale. So maybe you should start selling yourself instead of whatever product you're trying talk about.
"Sell yourself not the product?" I'm not a salesperson, but I work with people who do enterprise sales for north of a million dollars. I don't think any of them would say that's an effective strategy. You have to be credible, but the consensus is that you make money by convincing them you'll solve a problem or help them achieve their goals.
@@saraha180 I'd ask them. I'd bet they say selling themselves is a huge part of whether they succeed or not.
@@pascallecompte4145 You have social anxiety disorder and that's ok. But it's not the way to monetarily succeed in life. Just as you feel emotionally conflicted and disjointed, the majority of people who construct personas do it because they want to, or want a better life for themselves, and they feel like GOD. They feel great. Fuck being true to yourself. Enjoy sex, enjoy money (because you need it too and the more the better, especially when you get sick) and do it without hurting anyone in the process and do it before you die, which happens for most people when you least expect it, and win. That's it. You aren't good at sex? You don't care about sex or money? Then your problems are even deeper and might include other mental issues. But there is hope. You can toughen the hell up. The real world doesn't care about your insecurities, your anxieties or your feelings. Any self improvement books tell you to create a better self and that's for a PROVEN reason. You yourself admit you've been betrayed and not benefited by your actions. What disgusts you will always hold you back. And you'll be miserable in other ways, even if you're not emotionally conflicted and disjointed. There are no safe spaces in the real word. Toughen up and be more tolerant. But more importantly, toughen up.
Phalanx “meat sack of organs filled with blood and s#!t”? I hope you didn’t write your own vows! lol

The No.1 guy, i dont know if youve ever worked in an environment like this, but the nastiness is always there. Its never not and if its not, then its not a sales environment. The people there are feeling something, ambition, greed, lust, happiness, sadness hatred of themselves) and anger with nastiness. Affleck just did ambition. Alec Baldwin did the whole lot. In one scene.
Affleck: "Time to get into character."
*Rips massive line
Has guy drive out to Long Island for interview, then immediately kicks him out for already having a stockbroker's license
"I'm not here to waste your time"
Lol
Well I think he meant the applicants who still remained for the interview, and not the ones which were kicked out of the room first though.
He has to prove a point to the remaining applicants
i mean the dude shoulda listened to the instructions during his interview phone call. im sure they mentioned it and he probably didn't care
If you think about it… he DIDN’T waste that guy’s time because he walked away a free man and the man who kicked him out? In prison.

I knew what he had before he even told me, alopecia totalis, because a friend of mine had the same thing, but he was so weird about it that I finished interviewing him in about 15 minutes, because I wasn't going to hire a guy who thought that would be a good way to open up an interview.

That guy had no balls. In real life, even in an illegitimate operation like this one, he could have easily pleaded a case to at the very least stay present for that meeting. Passing the Series 7 exam means absolutely nothing in the work place if you have no hands on experience. Affleck seemed to mistake passing a test with just that; work experience. If anything, this scene should teach people to speak up, even if the person you’re speaking to is an ego maniac.
"Were here to train new brokers."
In so many words, he told the old broker who had his license to "get his old ass out of here."
Yep and he has the guy drive out to long island for an interview then immediately kicks him out for something that was probably on his resume..
..."I'm not here to waste your time"
Lol
today on reddit r/wallstreetbets
"I'm not here to waste your time"...except the guy who I just kicked out of the office by not telling him to not bother showing up if he'd already passed his 7.
I noticed that too... like they couldn't have just told him that on the phone? But sure let's have the guy drive out to Long Island and then instantly kick him out for something that was probably already on his resume lol
He was saying he wasn't going to waste the time of the remaining candidates, not the two he previously ejected from the meeting.
Technically, he was saving that guys time by kicking him out early because the firm “doesn’t hire brokers, they train new ones.”

A young Pacino would have destroyed this.
I thought Affleck was great here. In fact, he is pretty good whenever he ISN'T trying to carry a film as the lead actor. He's not good enough to be the main attraction of a film, but he's much better at smaller supporting roles.
There's no shame in that, some of the best careers in Hollywood are guys who always play smaller characters in movies. He's much better in small doses.
I don’t understand the genuine hate he gets 😳, I think he killed this and the always be closing scene. Leonardo in this scene would of been to eccentric imo so I agree Ben killed this scene
@@ronnieroyal9893 I don't see any genuine hate. I thought i was being pretty complimentary.
Afflecks the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

That's not truth. He is leading actor the great one. One of the Best in industry. And you are hater and nobody cares what you think hater.
I actually happen to like this scene and find Affleck to be quite good in it. Overall an iconic movie.
I think the monologue at the beginning of the film was much better, "I just wanted IN."
Affleck is always good....not great but he knows his shit! This film is the start as The Batman in my opinion.
Ben isn't always good, but I would say, to be fair to him, he has been great. The Town (2010) was a great movie. He did a great job directing and acting in that Film. Often he is not good, often he is in bad movies and gives bad performances. I'd rather that than an actor that is always mediocre. He has potential to be remembered as a great talent, so long as he doesn't get to heavily involved with politics. I have no issue with celebrities sharing their political beliefs, especially if they passionate about them. But they need to understand the possible implications on their popularity, and weigh that with the good they will do for their cause. This was a long way of saying I agree with you.
BigHorseFilm Affleck is good he had success and not so much much .....but he came back and now he's great!
agree! found it in moods and watched it with dubbing! it's really iconic movie!
We expect everyone here to treat their coworkers with a certain amount of respect. Love it, used it more times than I can remember with people at work...

I was actually once in an interview for a trading firm and it was somewhat similar to this. There were no curse words thrown and the manager was well mannered ( after all it was real life not a Hollywood movie). We were about 20 young people in the conference room where they explained about what the job was like and did some q&a with us, and they made sure we understood you have to work your ass off, and that you are supposed to become a millionaire within a few years.
Out of about 20 people in the room they only picked 3. I didn’t go through but I also knew it wasn’t for me.
I have a spoiler for you. Only one of them became a millionaire (in the best case). They also have no life but have mental issues instead.

Wow, that brought back memories! That is pretty damm close to reality. When I entered the training program of the firm that hired me, 19 started the program. One quit after the first day. I was the only survivor, who actually gained my Series 7, 3, and 65. It's irrelevant that the 'firm' here was illegal, a "Boiler room" concern. The manner in which business is conducted is very similar. The Wolf Of Wall Street is an extreme example, but still, plausible. I managed to be quite successful, before I decided I would no longer feed the greed. It is a business where you have to sell your soul to the devil, if you want to do it. I am too moral. The BMW was nice, as were the crazy perks. But, I have my German luxury sedan without having to be somebody I'm not.
arklat . Who cares. I work a regular, well paying, low pressure corporate job and still have two new German performance cars
You mean you have to sell your soul to trade successfully? Or to be a successful broker?
35 people gave a shit and actually believed this crap in 7 years. Not bad.
I used to be a broker as well. I always thought this movie and Wolf of Wall Street were the most spot on. Got PTSD from WOWS the first time I saw it {No one died at our Christmas parties!). It is an amoral business even if done by the most moral person. "Greed is good, and information is the currency. How you get that information is none of our business. Just don't get caught." I remember my mentor telling me this as a junior broker. Chilling as I type this now. I lasted only 6 months. 100% commissions; made $1 for a month of work my first month. Made $5000 a day thereafter. Made enough to pay for Grad School and quit.

hell im about to call him myself😂😂
Black suit, Blue shirt...Tell me you're from late 90s/early 2000s without telling me
"We expect everyone here to treat their coworkers with a certain level of respect" -- while stealing all of the money from their clients
Bruce Wayne first day on the job
I remember going into my Aunt's room when I was little and this scene was on. At the time, I thought it was the coolest shit ever. Still feel that way.
Eh..I think after watching wolf of wall street...this speech doesnt come anywhere close...its actually tame and kinda awkard....
"I have a Series 7 license"
"Good. you can get out too"
"oh...sorry, I meant I have a Series 7 BMW. my bad. Can I stay now?"
😂
fuck you get the fuck out of my face
Series 7 bmw suck. Get out!
😂😂😂😂😂
@Yute Hube Tell that to the mortgage broker from the Big Short who shuffled into the job fair after the market crashed
Jim Young was a great salesman. “Ear to ear baby”
“We treat everyone with respect here”
2 seconds later
“Pack your shit Skippy!”
He said "coworkers". Skippy isn't going to be a coworker.

All Time Classic Scene & Movie...People forgot about this one. Timeless. Best advice ever !!!

Judging from the comments, I'm guessing a lot of people here haven't actually seen the movie.
Of course Alec Baldwin did it better. The whole fucking point is that Alec Baldwin did it better! Affleck's character is actively trying to emulate him in glengarry glen ross. It's the basis of his entire position, set up by a sleazy company that sells bullshit and glorifies Baldwin and Gordon gekko. Him failing to be quite as intimidating and superficially applying a movie persona to his work to rope in easily impressed kids is supposed to be the first thing the audience notices about the company.
I did see it, but forgot everything. It wasn’t well done.
@Kai McCook Bingo. "You either sling crack rock or have a wicked jump shot". That line that Seth delivered during narration was a key in understanding the point of this movie.
A poor man’s Wolf of Wall Street
Idk what he’s was selling but this mothafucka convinced me already!!
😅
illegal, non-existant shares and holds on companies which did not exist. standard broker really.
Utahsaint ok sign me up lol 😂
My man!
Frank Lucas hahahaha
15 years later -
I'm batman
Affleck is such a good actor.don't hate :).
"Pack your shit Skippy" lol.
When playing a jerk. Otherwise no
Many people look at this scene and are invigorated and inspired. I look at this scene and see the devil lurking in the shadows ready to claim mens' souls. This scene makes me want to take a shower.
It also leaves me cold, I prefer margin call.
He was heavily inspired by A.Baldwins speech in Glengarry Glenn Ross
This has nothing on Alec Baldwin's speech in Glengarry Glen Ross. Feels like Ben Affleck is trying way too hard.
put the coffee down, coffee is for closers
You can atleast buy an ok suit with 150 or pay for gas. When I got "hired" by an insurance company in new york, AFTER you take the classes pay for the books and license test and ridiculously expensive business cards they tell you its a commission only job :(
Been there done that!!!!👎
Me, too.
I thought this scene was fuckin great.
d byko lol Alec Baldwin on a burner account headass
So Ben, when do we get the Glengarry leads?" ~ Asking for a friend
@Rich 91 Patel? Fuck Patel! f**ing shiva came down from heavan and asked him to buy he'd refuse! I'm waitin' for the new leads!
You don’t get them. Because giving them to you would be throwing them away. They’re for closers.
Interestingly, despite Mamet being a right-wing asshole now, he agreed to cut out this line from at least one production in deference to Hindu sensitivities.
FUCK THE MACHINE
It sounds like a pyramid scheme kind of scam.
Just another day at Wayne interprises
Nice try, Ben. But, you're no Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross.
Blake is dehumanizing, lol...
he is not supposed to be, he is trying to recruit, not fire, the have to trust him as they basically break the law for him.
Dart Vade It was a clearly inspired scene. Of course he's not supposed to be.
EXEJON
Maybe he's not, but this entire speech is fucking *AWESOME!*
Cynical Atheist The Force Awakens was an awesome movie too. I'm just calling a spade a spade.
"Good for you ... You can get out too! .... LETS GO SKIPPY!!" .... lmfao
Why am I reading the subtitles? 🤦🏻♂️
Is this the reason Snydercut is rated R
ryen russillo brought me here
Just passed the series 7 today!! Had to watch this to fire me up even more
Now go out there and get em mother fuckers!
tell me how the life has been like bro
Can you imagine if this is how bruce wayne actually does buiness?
Only if job interviews were that simple and honest!!
...But it's _not_ honest. The guy turns out to be a con.
The shlep rock guy later got a good paying job at a real firm and got fired for calling his boss a dumb ass, the series seven broker would have seen the illegal scams right away and asked legitimate brokers and his lawyer about it before reporting it to the FEC and wall street trading authorities.
That's why he wasn't hired because as a licensed broker he would spot criminal activities and refuse to participate and report it, not a good thing, and neither guy would get arrested for involvement in the firm.
Ben Affleck trying to do Alec Balwin (GlenGary Glen Ross).... FAIL!
What are you talking about?? Glengarry glen ross is garbage compared to this..... This is modern motivational full of arrogance and attitude..... Glengarrry glem ross is just for the history books cmon man..... The people on wall street are like this and not like in gggr
@@gjorgji9339 You`ve obviously have never seen GlenGary....its not about Wall Street, its about RE salesmen.
Baldwins scene there is legnedary, Bens is weak.
@@stevedavis7451 and you obviously dont know shit about sales and you obviously failed to see my point....... It doesnt matter if you sell 300k ferraris or 3 dollar potatos.... The principles are the same
I use to worked at jp morgan. Yeah, we all cracked jokes about how we wanted to be working at JT MARLIN where all sales men... make one million dollars per year. Also, they have a brand new yellow Lamborghini sports car.
Did you work on the sales desk at JPM?
Best 5 minutes of Affleck's career.
fvecc Not saying much
AFFLECK, YOU DA BOMB IN DOGMA YO!
Sick reference, dude. \m/
Phantoms*
Afflecks the bomb in everything
He says that my chair and then never even sits in it lol
Do you think that they are coming in to get out of the rain? They're begging you to take their money. Are you man enough?
@@doctorquestian lol another classic
The line coffee is for closers is iconic. Not one line in this scene was iconic.
But all I wanted to do was deliver parcels for Amazon Flex??
Would've been a much better movie had they not cast the main character as someone who looks like a 10 year old
+Apocalypticresurgence Well, I was in this industry and on Long Island and a lot of the guys looked just like that. Some right out of high school. Believe me. If you had a mouth and a pulse, they hired you. was nuts.
or could act ... being a dick and acting like one are two completely different things.
To the filth!
Doesn't look like a 10 year old to me
Seems to me you didnt watch this clip
He made that entire speech in under 5 minutes. Like he emphasized, they’re big on no time wasted at those broker firms lol
All Time Classic Scene & Movie...People forgot about this one. Timeless. Best advice ever !!!
The highest paid stockbrokers in real life make around $120k. Pretty good but not exactly the salary of a multimillionaire.
That’s it?
Bruce Wayne had indeed humble beginnings..
The force of Alec Baldwin is strong in this scene. Seasoned with a bit of Pacino at 4:20
A former boss of mine once used that Pacino line on me, after asking if I had ever seen Heat. I quit that day and was hired at another job a few hours later. Now..my studs are too far apart.
