I need a movie clip for a presentation
I am giving this mock presentation to a bunch of fictious banking executives. The point of the presentation is to sell on why the bank should use my companies services for their banking operations.
I am looking for a movie scene that I can use as an ice breaker. Maybe one about selling or one about banking. Something semi serious but with some sublte or light comedy. A couple things that come to mind is the Chris Farley scene in Tommy Boy when he starts the guys car on fire, but I don't want any swearing, or maybe a scene from Wall Street.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Though this sounds like it's for a class, I'd argue against using any movie clips.
I work in the corporate production world and I can't tell you the number of times executives come to me with these great "ideas" that are nothing more than showing a bunch of movie clips. That is the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to creativity.
Write a skit, shoot your own little video, come up with some kind of audience participation game, ANYTHING but playing a movie clip.
If you ignore all that advice, Tommy Boy is a good example of showing how one company is better than another. And I don't recall that particular scene (setting the car on fire) having any bad swearing.
