Hi cyber colleagues. I need following information.
Can you name in what film will you hear the following monologue:
"I create nothing. I own. We make the rules,pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price of paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you ,Buddy?"

thanks in advance
Arsen

Sounds Like Gordon Gecko Talking to Charle Sheen's Character,Bud Fox, in WALL STREET.
Just confirmed this at IMDB.com (the best movie info site on the web), and this is the first half of your quote:
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
