Found this on tv today on Cinemax. My daughter sat down to watch it with me. She has never seen the movie before. She's cracking me up! Wanting to know what happens, laughing at the jokes. It's so cute! "Who has been putting out their Kools on my floor? WHO HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT THEIR KOOLS ON MY FLOOR?" * *

She hasn't seen this movie? It only plays on all of the basic cable channels every two weeeks or so, albeit in a censored version without the foul language, naked women, and in some cases without the outdoor scene at the World Trade Center. Even so, it's one of Eddie Murphy's best movies.

Good movie! But I still get lost with the stock market workings.

some of the best sound bites in movie history

"when they brought you in here, you were crying like a pussy."

"Those men in there wanted to have sex wuth me!"

"i'll rip out your eyes and piss on your brains!"

Funny movie, foul language and all.

"He walked into me, this little asswipe should watch where hes going"

"You were in nam, where were you?","Yeah I was in Sang, Bang Trang, you know special attack, special forces, green beret, all that shit baby"

"I have legs, shit, I have legs, I can walk, shit, I can walk Praise Jesus, Shit fuck, shit, Praise Jesus, I can walk, Fuck, Thank you, Thank you"

"Hey baby once you go with a man with no legs, there ain't no looking back, u seen Porgy and Bess?, You and me baby, we can make it! You Bitch!"

"See I am a karate man, I bleed on the inside, but of course a big ol BarryWhite looking motherfucker like you wouldn't know that shit"

"It ain't cool being a Jive turkey so close 2 thanksgiving" "YEAH!", "Hey man do you know who u r fucking with, put me down me, put me down" "Billy Ray Valentine... You made bail, lets go" "I did?"

"We are going to kill them" "U can't do that" "Why not" "Its called assault with a deadly weapon, 15 - 20 mandatory for that shit"

"Get the FUCK out of my house"

"You certainly have some lively friends sir" "Those weren't no friends of mine, just a bunch of freeloaders treating my house like its a goddamn zoo" "Hey keep it quiet out there, my neighbours they work too"

"You are making a career decision here", "Strip you little shit afore I tear u a new asshole"

I know! It's complicated for such a silly little movie!

Its not that complex, Winthorp and Valentine, corner the market by intercepting the crop report so they can corner the frozen juice market, creating a fake bubble with the intercepted report, watch the Dukes sink all their money into it and then watch them go bankrupt as the bubble bursts. Meanwhile Winthorp and Valentine strike it rich by investing against the trend and making a killing. The Dollar was symbolic of the dollar that the Dukes bet against each other to see that they could ruin Winthorp and turn Valentine from a petty hustler to a respectable commodities broker.

Or something like that.

Well the dollar bet was obvious, it's more the stock stuff that is confusing.

I "get" it, but it's rather convoluted.
