Quote context

[...]

- Tokyo exchange is 9 hours behind us, the NY exchange is 1 hour ahead of us. There is never one hour in which both exchanges are open.

- Information moves, but it has to wait. Now, I have a fellow working for me.

- D'ya know what a hacker is?

- Yeah, sure. That's like a... a computer expert, a genius.

- And what this boy has been able to do, is tap into that main link between Tokyo and New York and when we really need it he's been able to give us a 7 second delay in the transfer of that information. Do you know what that means?

- Well, I can see that you get your information ahead of NY.

- Not much time.

- No, we have to be ready, we have to have the money, we have to know what that information means, and we have to move like grease lightning.

Top rated lines from this movie

A visitor... A very attractive young lady. She says she's your mother. -Send her up.

I've seen women like you before, baby. You're double tough, you're sharp as a razor, and you get what you want, or else.

But you don't make it work forever. Sooner or later, the lightning hits. And I'm not gonna be around when it hits you.

Not partners. That's your first lesson. Cut your score in half, right down the middle. Worse than that, you take a partner, you put an apple on your head and hand the other guy a shotgun.

Stop getting up nights, man. You too could learn to dance. All you need is a magic step. Simple as one-two-three.
