“... Either you’re slingin’ crack-rock, or you’ve got a wicked jump-shot.” Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There’s no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee’s, honor’s in the dollar, kid. So I went the white boy way of slinging crack-rock: I became a stock broker." Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi), Boiler Room...
The time: unsure, but probably sometime during the day when i shoulda been in class. The place: Sullivan Hall (dorm), Villanova University. The year: 2001 (spring). My condition: high as a kite.
Upon first hearing this monologue, I just knew this movie was gonna be the truth. Not the truth as in valid but so much the truth that I didn't realize the inception taking place. No, I didn't become a stockbroker overnight after watching this movie, but the seed was planted and the tree was growing.
