Looking for a specific movie quote

The quote is about how Wall Street figured out which firms would suffer and benefit from the Challenger explosion within an hour of the event. I did a Google search with no results, but I know the movie exists. Could be Wall Street, maybe.

    Marvin points up at the clock. Bud looks up... it's 2:40.
    Bud quickly composes himself. He picks up the phone, dialing
    purposefully.

    Buddy, buddy, when ya gonna realize
    it's big game hunters that bag the
    elephants, not retail brokers. I
    heard this story about Gekko... he
    was on the phone 30 seconds after
    the Challenger blew up selling NASA
    stocks short.

    Hello, Natalie -- guess who? That's
    right, and you know everyday I say
    to myself, today could be the day...
    So what do you say... will you
    marry me? Then please can you get
    me through to Mr. Gekko?

    It concerns his future!

    BUD
    Of course he's busy, and so am I.
    Five minutes. That's all I'm asking.
    I know that if he could only hear
    what I have to say... it would
    change his life.
