Movie Excerpt: "You don't know what I know"

In the movie Limitless (2011), Robert Di Niro has a powerful little monologue about work. 
Well, it is about a certain type of work ethic - one that involves grinding the way to the top with some brutal behavior.  The scene was so well done... check it out. 

The text from this scene is highlighted in blue below. 

Here is a bit of the scene leading up to the monologue:

EDDIE (Bradley Cooper)

....I’d say 45.

VAN LOOK (Robert De Niro)

 Done.

Forty-five thousand dollars.

(Both laugh)

VAN LOON

Forty million's plenty, Eddie.

There's a lot more where that came from.

You know, Eddie...

...it may be on your mind

that you're not gonna

continue to work for me anymore.

EDDIE

This has been

the learning experience of my life.

VAN LOON

I hope it has. I hope you don't

think you've gotten enough from me.

On to the next.

EDDIE

Well, in order for a career to evolve,

I'm gonna have to move on.

VAN LOOK

That you would even think that

would only show me

how unprepared you are

to be on your own.

- I mean, you do know you're a freak.

- (laughs)

Your deductive powers are a gift

from God, or chance,

or a stray shot of sperm,

or whatever, or whoever the hell wrote

your life script, a gift not earned.

You do not know what I know 

because

you have not earned those powers.

You're careless with those powers.

You flaunt them and you throw them

around like a brat with his trust fund.

You haven't had to climb up

all the greasy little rungs.

You haven't been bored blind at the

fundraisers. 

You haven't done the time

in that first marriage

to the girl with the right father.

You think you can leap

over all in a single bound.

You haven't had to bribe

or charm or threaten your way

to a seat at that table. 

You don't

know how to assess your competition

because you haven't competed.

Don't make me your competition.

VAN LOON (CONT'D)

Now...

I'll open a line of credit for you.

You’ll be wanting a few toys.
