I'm sorry man. It's my seat. Oh shit, I'm so sorry. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Fucking dumbass. Get the fuck out of here. What? Don't talk to me, don't look at me, just pick your ass up out of that Italian leather chair and get the fuck out of this room right now. Come on, let's go, schlep rock. Out. That's it. We expect everyone here to treat their coworkers with a certain level of respect. Okay, before we get started, I have one question. Has anyone here passed the Series 7 exam? I have a Series 7 license. Good for you. You can get out too. What? Why? We don't hire brokers here, we train new ones. That's it, skippy. Pack your shit, let's go. Okay, here's the deal. I'm not here to waste your time, okay? And I certainly hope you're not here to waste mine. So I'm going to keep this short. Become an employee of this firm, you will make your first million within three years. Okay? I'm going to repeat that. You will make $1 million within three years of your first day of employment at JT Marlin. There is no question as to whether or not you will become a millionaire working here. The only question is how many times over.
Original caption
This scene from Boiler Room shows how character earns respect. As the man hiring walks into the meeting, one employee insults another coworker. The boss immediately tells him to leave, showing that disrespect can cost you opportunities. Then another employee confidently says he already has his broker’s license. The lesson is simple: when you lack respect or become overconfident, it can speak louder than you think and put you in a bad position. Good character, humility, and respect will always speak for themselves.
