Yes, you'd like to change that appointment, but you can't go in there. He's in a meeting. Alex has come up with a really ingenious way for us to... I don't know. We had a meeting scheduled today. It's sport. I didn't either. I think we should talk.

Gordon, would you gentlemen excuse us for a second, please? Don't you come this way, Jen. Thank you. Alex, what the hell do you want? I just found out about the garage sale down at Blue Star. Why? Last night, I was reading Rudy the story of Winnie the Pooh and the honey pot.

You know what happened? Stuck his nose in the pot once too often and uh, he got stuck. Maybe you gotta read him Pinocchio. Gordon, I thought that you were gonna turn Blue Star around, not upside down. You [ __ ] used me. Well, you're walking

around blind without a cane, pal. The fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place, but why do you need to wreck this company? Because it's wreckable. All right, I took another look at it. I changed my mind. If these people lose their jobs, they got

nowhere to go. My father has worked there for 24 years. I gave him my word. It's all about bucks, kid. Progress this conversation. Hey, buddy, you're still gonna be president, all right? And when the time comes, you're gonna parachute out a rich

man with the money you're gonna make. Your dad's never gonna have to work another day in his life. So tell me, Gordon, when does it all end, huh? How many yachts can you water ski behind? How much is enough? It's not a question of enough, pal.

it's a zero-sum game somebody wins somebody loses money itself isn't lost or made it's simply uh transferred from one person to another like magic this painting here I bought it 10 years ago for 60 000 I could sell it today for 600 000.

the illusion has become real and the more real it becomes the more desperate they want it capitalism at its finest how much is enough the richest 1% of this country owns half our country's wealth 5 trillion dollars one-third of that comes from hard work

two-thirds comes from an inheritance interest on interest accumulating widows idiot sons and what I do stock in real estate speculation it's [ __ ] you got 90% of the American public out there with little or no net worth I create nothing

I own we make the rules pal the news war peace spam and upheaval the price of a paper clip we picked that rabbit out of the hat where everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy are you

buddy it's the free market and you're part of it yeah you got that killer instinct stick around pal I still got a lot to teach you obviously [Music] you
