拜金一族
主演：杰克莱蒙  阿尔帕西诺  亚力克鲍德温  艾德哈里斯  凯文史贝西     好莱坞现在已经习惯了所谓大制作，动辄投资过亿来塑造惊世骇俗的效果，以刺激人的感官为己任。在厌倦了《后天》和《特洛伊》之后翻出自己的碟藏，看看这些老戏骨们是怎样演戏的应该能体会到小场景中的精彩。本片我想也可以叫做“办公室的故事”，因为大部分的戏都是在一个办公室中完成的。场景的局限并不意味着影片单调乏味。《电话亭》只有那一个场景，但却张力十足。演员精湛的演技和编剧巧妙的构思都能使之成为一部优秀的影片。而本片则同时具备了这两点。 演员阵容豪华得令人咋舌，几位男主角都是实力派高手（没有女主角）。影片的前半部完全靠演员的表演撑起。几位地产经纪为了谈成生意焦头烂额，而亚力克鲍德温这个不速之客的出现使得原本就激烈的竞争白热化了。他的话把影片的主题揭露得一丝不挂。金钱，就是所有的一切。成功者就可以颐指气使，把失败者骂得狗血喷头踩在脚下。亚力克把一个成功者的嚣张气焰表现得淋漓尽致。他的出现带来了第一场精彩的对手戏。而类似的精彩表演在本片中可以信手拈来，举不胜举。生意的成功与否与一个人的身份地位直接相关，正因为如此人与人之间的态度变化非常有戏剧性。沙利（杰克莱蒙）与经理约翰（凯文史贝西）就出现了这种戏剧性变化。沙利在恳求约翰给他两单好生意时低三下四说尽好话甚至不惜贿赂他，而约翰在金钱面前的冷面也是让人叹服，必须当面点钱，还不肯还价。而当沙利完成了一单大生意之后痛骂并羞辱约翰一段则和这里形成了鲜明的对比。这几位经纪都十分专业，撒谎不用草稿，也许做经纪这个职业必须首先就要是个好演员。阿尔帕西诺看到客户进来，马上拉住沙利配合他在客户面前做起了戏。尽管最后被约翰不合时宜地出现破坏了，但帕西诺业务的熟练也可见一斑。演员的表演可以说是本片的最大看点，精彩的表演很难用文字表达，而看本片中的表演，则有一种酣畅淋漓的快感。 与演员的表演相比，本片设计的一个悬念虽然并不十分特别但对剧情张力起了很关键的作用。列宁说过，有100％的利润资本就不惜铤而走险。这些拜金主义者为生活所迫铤而走险也就不足为奇了。但是究竟是谁偷了那些生意呢？这个悬念最后看来轻易地被揭开了，因为这并不是一个悬念片。谜底揭开之后一切又恢复了正常，所有人还是在为金钱而奔命。对别人或者公司的事，只要牵涉不到自己的利益，大家都十分漠然。这点小小的波澜还未来得及形成浪花就早已又被铜臭所淹没了。 影片的主题可以说再清晰不过了，对拜金主义的批判，对资本主义的批判，对金钱至上法则之下的冷酷人际关系的批判在本片中没有做丝毫的掩饰。通过这样一间普通的公司，折射出整个社会。影片着重批判的是制度而不是人。相反，对这些在生存压力下疲于奔命的人导演颇有几分同情。沙利对女儿的感情可以说是真挚的，从这个侧面反映出他和其他几位经纪其实都是制度的受害者。如阿尔帕西诺所说的“machine”，每个人都只是挣钱的机器，什么人格尊严，什么家庭责任都可以放弃，只要挣钱。阿尔还大骂官僚主义和官僚主义者，看来编导的确是愤世嫉俗，大有将资本主义批判到底的劲头。也许，在物欲横流的今天，看一下这个片子能让我们都有所反省。  精彩对白：Blake: These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they’re gold, and you don’t get them. Why? Because to give them to you would be throwing them away. They’re for closers.
Ricky Roma: How was her crumbcake?
Shelley Levene: Hmm? Oh… from the store.
Ricky Roma: Fuck her.
Blake: We’re adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize?
[Holds up prize]
Blake: Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you’re fired.
Blake: Your name is "you’re wanting", and you can’t play the man's game, you can’t close them, and then tell your wife your troubles. ‘Cause only one thing counts in this world: get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you fuckin’ faggots?
Shelley Levene: What the hell are you? You’re a fuckin’ secretary. Fuck you. That's my message to ya: fuck you and you can kiss my ass and if you don’t like it baby I’m going across the street to Jerry Graff, period, fuck you.
Blake: A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing.
Ricky Roma: They say that it was so hot in the city today, grown men were walking up to cops on street corners begging them to shoot them.
Williamson: Will you go to lunch? Go to lunch. WILL you GO to LUNCH?
Blake: What's the problem, pal?
Dave Moss: You -
[correcting him]
Dave Moss: Moss. You’re such a hero, you’re so rich, how come you’re coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?
Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?
Dave Moss: Yeah.
Blake: That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don’t like it, leave.
Blake: You got leads. Mitch & Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can’t close the leads you’re given, you can’t close shit, *you are* shit, hit the bricks pal, and beat it, ’cause you are going *out*.
Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.
Blake: "The leads are weak." The fucking leads are weak? You’re weak. I’ve been in this business fifteen years…
Dave Moss: What's your name?
Blake: Fuck you. That's my name.
[Moss laughs]
Blake: You know why, mister? ‘Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. *That's* my name.
Dave Moss: We don’t gotta sit here and listen to this.
Blake: You CERTAINLY don’t pal, ’cause the good news is - you’re fired.
Dave Moss: That guy's a fuckin’ asshole. Anybody who talks to that asshole is a fuckin’ asshole.
Ricky Roma: Who said ‘fuck the machine’?
Dave Moss: Fuck the machine? Fuck the machine? FUCK THE MACHINE! What is this, courtesy class?
Ricky Roma: You’re fuckin’ shit.
[Dave Moss explodes at Ricky Roma and shouts]
Dave Moss: You’re fucked, Rick. Are you fucking nuts? You’re hot, so you think you’re the ruler of this place.
Shelley Levene: Now wait a minute, Dave.
Dave Moss: Shut up!
Shelley Levene: Okay…
Dave Moss: You want to decide who should be dealt with how, is that it? I come in the fucking office today, I get humiliated by some jag-off cop. I get accused of… I get the shit thrown in my face by you, you genuine shit, because you’re top name on the board?
Ricky Roma: Is that what I did, Dave? I humiliated you? Oh my God, I’m sorry.
Dave Moss: Sitting on top of the world. Sitting on top of the world, everything's fuckin’ peach fuzz.
Ricky Roma: And I don’t get a moment to spare for some bust-out humanitarian down on his luck lately?
Dave Moss: Oh, fuck…
Ricky Roma: [cutting him off] Fuck you, Dave. You know you got a big mouth. You make a close, this whole place stinks with your farts for a week - how much you just ingested. Oh, what a big man you are! "Hey, let me buy you a pack of gum. I’ll show you how to chew it." Whoof! You’re pal closes, and all that comes out of your mouth is bile. Ooh, how fucked-up you are!
Dave Moss: Who's my pal, Ricky? Hmm? What are you? And what are you, Ricky? Huh? Bishop Sheen? What the fuck are you, Mr. Slick? Who - what the fuck are you, "Friend to the working man"? Big deal! FUCK YOU! You got the memory of a fuckin’ fly! I never liked you, anyway.
Ricky Roma: What is this, your farewell speech?
Dave Moss: I’m going home.
Ricky Roma: Your farewell to the troops?
Dave Moss: I’m not going home. I’m going to Wisconsin.
Ricky Roma: Have a good trip.
Dave Moss: Aw, fuck you! Fuck the lot of you! Fuck you all!
[exits]
Ricky Roma: [to Shelley] You were saying?
Shelley Levene: Huh?
Blake: Put. That coffee. Down.
[pause]
Blake: Coffee's for closers only.
[after learning that the Lingk sale has been filed]
Ricky Roma: You filed it, that puts me over the fuckin’ top, I want my Cadillac. I don’t wanna hear no fuckin’ shit and I don’t give a shit. Lingk puts me over the top. You filed it, it went downtown, now you owe me the car.
Ricky Roma: All train compartments smell vaguely of shit. It gets so you don’t mind it. That's the worst thing that I can confess. You know how long it took me to get there? A long time. When you die you’re going to regret the things you don’t do. You think you’re queer? I’m going to tell you something: we’re all queer. You think you’re a thief? So what? You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out. You cheat on your wife? You did it, live with it. You fuck little girls, so be it. There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, go ahead, be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don’t think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won’t live in it. That's me.
[pause]
Ricky Roma: You ever take a dump made you feel like you’d just slept for twelve hours?
Williamson: The leads are coming!
Shelley Levene: Get ‘em to me!
Williamson: I talked to Mitch and Murray an hour ago. They’re coming in, you understand. They’re a bit upset about this morning's…
Shelley Levene: Did yo tell ‘em about my sale?
Williamson: How could I tell them about your sale? I don’t even have a teleph - I’ll tell them about your sale when they bring in the leads, all right? Shelley, all right? You closed a deal. Fine. You made a good sale, fine.
Shelley Levene: It's better than a good sale. It's…
Williamson: Look, I have a lot on my mind right now. They’re coming in, all right? They’re very upset, I’m trying to make some sense…
Shelley Levene: I’m telling you - the one thing you can tell them is that it's a remarkable sale.
Williamson: The only thing ‘remarkable’ about it is who you made it to.
Shelley Levene: What the FUCK does that mean?
Williamson: That if the sale sticks, it’ll be a miracle.
Shelley Levene: What does that mean? Why would it not… Oh, fuck you. You do not know your job. That's what I’m saying. You do not know your job. That's what I’m saying. A man IS his job and you are fucked at yours.
Ricky Roma: WHAT YOU’RE HIRED FOR, is to help us… does that seem clear to you? TO HELP US, not to… FUCK-US-UP… to help those who are going out there to try to earn a living… You fairy. You company man.
Dave Moss: You got the memory of a fucking fly.
Blake: And to answer you question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fucking ass because a loser is a loser.
Ricky Roma: You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.
Blake: You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?
[Williamson is going to the cops]
Shelley Levene: Don’t.
Williamson: Hehe… I’m sorry.
Shelley Levene: Why?
Williamson: Because I don’t like you.
Shelley Levene: [in tears] My daughter.
Williamson: Fuck you.
Dave Moss: Yes, well that's very cute, but you’re running this office like a bunch of bullshit.
George Aaronow: When I talk to the police I get nervous.
Ricky Roma: Yes. You know who doesn’t?
George Aaronow: Who?
Ricky Roma: Thieves.
[Ricky Roma gets a lead from Williamson with a familiar "deadbeat" name]
Ricky Roma: Patel? Ravadem Patel? How am I gonna make a livin’ on these deadbeats? Where did you get this one from the morgue?
Williamson: Look I’m…
Ricky Roma: Oh come on, what's the point? What's the fucking point in any case I gotta argue with you, I gotta knock heads with the cops, I’m busting my balls sell your dirt to deadbeats.
[waves the Lead]
Ricky Roma: Money in the mattress.
Blake: You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BRASS BALLS to sell real estate.
Ricky Roma: You stupid fucking cunt. You, Williamson, I’m talking to you, shithead. You just cost me $6,000. Six thousand dollars, and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it, asshole? You’re fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fucking cunt, you idiot? Who ever told you that you could work with men? Oh, I’m gonna have your job, shithead.
Williamson: You’ve got a big mouth… now I’m gonna show you an even bigger one.
Shelley Levene: Williamson! Williamson! Put me on the board! Put me on the Cadillac board!
Williamson: [handing Roma lead cards] I’m giving you three leads…
Ricky Roma: Three? No, I count two.
Williamson: There's three leads there.
Ricky Roma: "Patel"? Fuck you. Fucking Shiva handed this guy a million dollars, told him "Sign the deal!" he wouldn’t sign. And the god Vishnu too, into the bargain. Fuck you, John! You know your business, I know mine. Your business is being an asshole. I find out whose fucking cousin you are, I’m going to go to him and figure out a way to have your ass - fuck you!
[throws the cards at Williamson]
Ricky Roma: I’m waiting for the new leads.
Shelley Levene: [Levene has just cut a deal with Williamson to get 2 of the Glengarry leads for $100] What? What?
Williamson: Two leads. A hundred bucks.
Shelley Levene: Now?
Williamson: Yes, now… when?
Shelley Levene: Oh, shit John!
Williamson: [turns away from Levene] I wish I could.
Shelley Levene: You FUCKIN’ asshole! I don’t have it… I… I…
Shelley Levene: [Levene gets happy all of a sudden] I’ll bring it to ya in the morning I’ll be comin’ in with the sales!
Williamson: Nope.
Blake: A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have you attention? Interest - Are you interested? I know you are, because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision for Christ? And Action.
Blake: A-I-D-A. Get out there - you got the prospects coming in. You think the came in to get out of the rain? A guy don’t walk on the lot lest he wants to buy. They’re sitting out there waiting to give you their money. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it?
Ricky Roma: I subscribe to the law of contrary public opinion… If everyone thinks one thing, then I say, bet the other way…
Dave Moss: Cop couldn’t find his dick, two hands and a map.
[Williamson shuts the door in Ricky's face]
Ricky Roma: Fuck. Fuck, fuck, FUCK! Williamson! Williamson! Open this fucking door!
George Aaronow: I’m no fuckin’ good.
Ricky Roma: Hey, cut that shit George. You’re a good man, you just hit a bad streak.
George Aaronow: You think so?
Williamson: How do you know I made it up?
Shelley Levene: Say what?
Williamson: How do you know I made it up?
Shelley Levene: Wha… what are you talking about?
Williamson: I told the customer his contract went to the bank.
Shelley Levene: It didn’t?
Williamson: No, it didn’t.
Shelley Levene: Don’t fuck with me… Don’t fuck with me! What are you saying?
Williamson: Well, I’m saying this Shell; usually I take the contracts to the bank. Last night I didn’t. Last night I stayed home with my kids. One night in a year I left the contracts sitting on my desk, no one knew that but you. How did you know that? Do you wanna tell me or do you want to tell them?
Dave Moss: What, because Roma's top man on the board he doesn’t have to sit here and listen to this shit?
Williamson: That's right.
Dave Moss: Fuckin’ bullshit
Williamson: Thank you for your time.
Dave Moss: Bullshit!
Dave Moss: Cop couldn’t find his dick with two hands and a map.
Ricky Roma: What’d he beat you with his rubber bat?
Dave Moss: He's got no right. Cop's got no right to speak to me like that.
Ricky Roma: You gonna turn state's
Dave Moss: Fuck you, Rick.
Ricky Roma: HAH!
Blake: You’re talking about what.You’re talking about… Bitching about that sale you shot, some sonofabitch who don’t wanna buy land, some broad you’re trying to screw, so forth. Let's talk about something important. They all here?
Williamson: All but one.
Blake: I’m going anyway. Let's talk about something important. Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers only. You think I’m fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. I’m here from downtown. I’m here from Mitch and Murray. And I’m here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Levine? You call yourself a salesman you son of a bitch?
Dave Moss: I don’t gotta sit here and listen to this shit.
Blake: You certainly don’t pal, ’cause the good news is - you’re fired. The bad news is - you’ve got, all of you’ve got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. "Cause we’re adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you’re fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them. you can’t close the leads youre given you can’t close shit. You ARE shit. Hit the bricks pal, and beat it ’cause you are going OUT.
Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.
Blake: The leads are weak? Fucking leads are weak. You’re weak. I’ve been in this business 15 years…
Dave Moss: What's your name?
Blake: Fuck you. That's my name. You know why, mister? You drove a Hyundai to get here. I drove an eighty-thousand dollar BMW. THAT’S my name. And your name is you’re wanting. You can’t play in the man's game, you can’t close them - go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life: Get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you fucking faggots? A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING. A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have you attention? Interest - Are you interested? I know you are, because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision, for Christ? And Action. A-I-D-A. Get out there - you got the prospects coming in. You think they came in to get out of the rain? A guy don’t walk on the lot lest he wants to buy. They’re sitting out there waiting to give you their money. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? What's the problem, pal?
Dave Moss: You - Moss. You’re such a hero, you’re so rich, how come you’re coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?
Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?
Dave Moss: Yeah.
Blake: That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much’d you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don’t like it, leave. _I_ can go out there tonight with the materials you’ve got and make myself $15,000. Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can YOU? Go and do likewise. A-I-D-A. Get mad you son of a bitches. get mad. You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BRASS BALLS to sell real estate. Go and do likewise gents. Money's out there. You pick it up, it's yours. You don’t, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, CLOSE. It's yours. If not you’re gonna be shining my shoes. And you know what you’ll be saying - a bunch of losers sittin’ around in a bar. ‘Oh yeah. I used to be a salesman. It's a tough racket.’ These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they’re gold, and you don’t get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They’re for closers. I’d wish you good luck but you wouldn’t know what to do with it if you got it. And to answer you question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fucking ass because a loser is a loser.
