《华尔街》:贪婪是好的,贪婪能拯救美国

  戈登·盖柯:克伦威尔先生,作为泰达纸业的单一最大股东,我很感谢你给我发言的机会。女士们先生们,我们今天的股东大会不是要沉迷于幻想,而是正视政治和经济的现实。美国,美国已经是二流国家了。它的贸易逆差和财政赤字如同噩梦。在我国还是顶尖工业强国的自由贸易的时代,企业要对股东负责。卡内基,梅隆这些人建立了这个伟大的工业帝国,他们坚守这个原则,因为那是他们自己的钱。如今,管理层并不是公司的股东!坐在这里的人全部加起来拥有的股份不足3%。克伦威尔先生的上百万年薪都投资在了哪里?不是泰达纸业的股票;他持股不足1%。你们拥有这家公司,没错,你们这些股东们。可你们都被这些官僚的豪华午宴、打猎、钓鱼旅行,他们的商务飞机和金色降落伞协议完全出卖了。

  克伦威尔:这是迫害!盖柯,你太过分了!

  戈登·盖柯:泰达纸业,克伦威尔先生,泰达纸业一共有33位副总裁,每个人的年薪都超过20万美金。过去两个月里,我一直在分析这些人的贡献,可我现在也没搞明白。我只知道一件事,我们的纸业公司在过去一年里亏损了1.1亿美金,我敢说一半亏损都花在这些副总裁的往来文书上了。美国企业的新的进化论,似乎变成“不适者生存”了。可在我的信念里,你要么做正确的事,要么被淘汰。我之前参与的7宗交易里,涉及了250万位股东,他们的税前利润达到了120亿美元。谢谢大家。我不是企业的毁灭者,我是企业的解放者!女士们先生们,贪婪——因为没有更合适的词——是好的,贪婪是正确的,贪婪是有效的。贪婪阐明、抽象、捕捉了进化精神的本质。各种形式的贪婪,对生命、金钱、爱情、知识的贪婪是人类积极上进的印记。你们记住我的话,贪婪不仅能拯救泰达纸业,也能拯救另一家故障频出的企业——美国。非常感谢。

  Gordon Gekko: 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.

  Cromwell: This is an outrage! You're out of line Gekko!

  Gordon Gekko: Teldar Paper, Mr. Cromwell, Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can't figure it out. One thing I do know is that our paper company lost 110 million dollars last year, and I'll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents. The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I've been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.

  台词控第166期,这段长篇台词来自《华尔街》,在泰达纸业的股东大会上,谋求控制公司的戈登·盖柯(迈克尔·道格拉斯饰)对数百位股东们发表演讲。泰达纸业的管理层尸位素餐,都是些无能的官僚,无法保护股东的利益。想要赚钱,还是跟着盖柯混吧。在这段演讲中,盖柯赤裸裸地宣扬贪婪是好的,贪婪能拯救企业,还能拯救美国。
