Cocktail (1988)
Tom Cruise as Flanagan and Elisabeth Shue as Jordan
[Flanagan] You know there's a guy who makes these.
[Jordan] One guy? He must be exhausted.
[Flanagan] Yes, he is. But still, he gets up in the morning and he kisses his wife and he goes to his drink umbrella factory where he rips off ten billion of these a year. This guy's a millionaire.
[Jordan, picking up an ashtray] How about the guy who makes these?
[Flanagan] How about that guy? Not to mention the guy who makes these.
[Jordan] And those little wrappers are made by another guy.
[Flanagan] What about these plastic things at the end of these laces.
[Jordan] Hmmm. It's probably got one of those weird names too like - aahh, "flugelbinder".
[Flanagan] Flugelbinder, right. We're sittin' here, and we're surrounded by millionaires. You rack your brains day and night to try to come up with a money-making scheme, and some guy corners the flugelbinder market.
[Jordan] Poor baby. He's frustrated.
[Flanagan] You get a bar job to keep your days free for your real gig. After work you're so charged up, you have a few drinks. You know, hey, it's party time. Days get shorter and shorter. Nights, longer and longer. Before you know it, your life is just one long night with a few comatose daylight hours.
[Jordan] Oh God. Stop feeling so sorry for yourself, Flanagan. Hey, your flugelbinder is out there waiting to be discovered.
[Flanagan] Waiting. Do you think so?
[Jordan] I do.
