Winthorpeplayedhas become a minister of stocks to the big capitalists Duke Brothers at a young age. He is in charge of the company for the Duke Brothers. He is engaged in futures trading. Beloved, Valentineis a blackpretends to be a disabled person and begs on the street. The Duke brothers are standard blood-sucking capitalists. One day they had a whim, they would bet on a dollar and bet on how Winthorpe and Valentine would behave after they exchanged identities. So Winthorpe’s doom came: being framed for theft, being kicked out of the rich man’s club, being planted with drugs and going to jail, someone bought a prostitute and left his fiancée, his job was lost, and his house was gone. And Valentine. However, he stayed flat, lived in a big house, had servants to serve him, a lot of pocket money, and let him play the futures trading of the Duke brothers. This huge change made Winthorpe and Valentine inexplicable, and they discovered the truth after they made their fools. Finally, they united and retaliated against the Duke brothers.

Louis Winthorpe III: [after trading ends on FCOJ, he and Billy Ray are quickly finalizing up some last minute sales. Once they're finished, they both look up to see the cost at 29. They then look at one another and scream in celebration and hug. After they're finished, they see the Dukes looking at them] Happy New Year!
Randolph Duke: [He drops their now-worthless sales papers on the floor]
[hoarsely]
Randolph Duke: Winthorpe.
Mortimer Duke: [stunned] Valentine.
Billy Ray Valentine: Hey! How'd y'all make out today?
Mortimer Duke: How could you do this to us after everything we've done for you?
Billy Ray Valentine: Oh, see, I made Louis a bet here. See, Louis bet me that we couldn't both get rich and put y'all in the poor house at the same time. He didn't think we could do it. I won.
Louis Winthorpe III: [grinning] I lost.
[Pulls it out of his breast pocket and shows it]
Louis Winthorpe III: One dollar.
Billy Ray Valentine: [Accepting it] Thank you, Louis.
Louis Winthorpe III: After you.
Billy Ray Valentine: Certainly.

Randolph Duke: Exactly why do you think the price of pork bellies is going to keep going down, William?
Billy Ray Valentine: Okay. Pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody's waiting for it to hit rock bottom so they can buy cheap and go long. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are goin' bat-shit. They're saying, "Hey, we're losing all our goddamn money, and Christmas is just around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip, right? And my wife won't f... my wife won't make love to me 'cuz I ain't got no money, right?" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now! I can feel it! They out there!
Randolph Duke: [on the ticker machine, the price keeps dropping] He's right, Mortimer! My God, look at it!
Billy Ray Valentine: I'd wait until you get to around sixty-four, THEN I'd buy. You'll have cleared out all the suckers by then.
Randolph Duke: This is Randolph Duke. Advise our clients interested in bellies to buy at sixty-four. Mr. Valentine has set the price.
[He punches up the numbers on his calculator]
Randolph Duke: Do you realize how much money he just saved us?
Mortimer Duke: Money isn't everything, Randolph!
