The famous Alec Baldwin monologue from the film Glengarry Glen Ross, where his character Blake berates salesmen with the 'Always Be Closing' speech. It is a short, profane scene about sales pressure and motivation.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN points to it as the one scene worth watching from the movie, a classic about sales and entrepreneurship.
