I would have also appreciated the clip of Baldwin in Glenn Gary Glen Ross. What great business speeches in films can you come up with? [edited]

    "Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them."
    - - Quark, 57th rule of acquisition
    "Free advice is seldom cheap"
    - - Quark, 59th rule of acquisition
    and one for the all statists
    "Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies."
    - - Quark, 76th rule of acquisition
    and several for all voters:
    "Hear all, trust nothing."
    - - 190th rule of acquisition
    "Sometimes the only thing more dagerous than a problem is the answer."
    - - 208th rule of acquisition
    And a corollary about politicians and looters
    "You can't free a fish from water."
    - - Quark, 217th rule of acquisition

    "Aren't Waitresses wonderful. You ask them for things and they bring them to you."

    Hard to pick but many of them are in one film. OPM.

    I remember the short pithy lines far better than any long speeches bbut i'm sure some one will spark my memory circuits

    Don't bother watching the 1995 remake of Sabrina with Harrison Ford. The 1954 version was a classic with Sabrina falling for a strong masculine character, but the later version changed the story to make Linus Larrabee a wimp. He "wins over" Sabrina by becoming a pathetic character.
    EDIT - the story change illustrates how hollywood "progressed" over those 4 decades

    I don't have any "Films" in my cache but I was privileged to be a part of one at a company I worked for from start up. The main cog of which was moving on and I in his place and everyone else a move up to fill the slots.
    I don't remember the entire thing only his closing remarks of which I'll never forget and often share.

    "Your people are only as good as you allow them to be"
    And that indeed was our recipe of success.

    Knowing Baldwin's political position makes his acting in GGR completely unbelieveble.
    I recall seeing the broadway play of GGR in the 80's, and finding it a disgusting waste of my time.
    The speech you refer to wasn't in the play. If it had been, it might have saved the play in my eyes, but I doubt it.
