I have... What a life these $^#$^#@ live for money.... imdb.com ================================== Seth Bregman: Will, did you really make two and a half million last year? Will Emerson: Yeah, sure. Seth Bregman: How did you spend it all? Will Emerson: It goes quite quickly. You know, you learn to spend what's in your pocket. Peter Sullivan: Two and a half million goes quickly? Will Emerson: All right, let's see. So the taxman takes half up front, so you're left with one and a quarter. My mortgage takes another 300 grand. I send 150 home for my parents, you know, keep 'em going. So what's that? Peter Sullivan: 800? Peter Sullivan: All right, 800. Spent 150 on a car. About 75 on restaurants. Probably 50 on clothes. I put 400 away for a rainy day. Seth Bregman: That's smart. Will Emerson: Yeah, as it turns out, 'cause it looks like the storm's coming. Peter Sullivan: You still got 125. Will Emerson: Yeah, well I did spend 76,520 dollars on hookers, booze and dancers. But mainly hookers. Peter Sullivan: 76,5? Will Emerson: I was a little shocked initially, but then I realized I could claim most of it back as entertainment. It's true! John Tuld: So, what you're telling me, is that the music is about to stop, and we're going to be left holding the biggest bag of odorous excrement ever assembled in the history of capitalism. Peter Sullivan: Sir, I not sure that I would put it that way, but let me clarify using your analogy. What this model shows is the music, so to speak, just slowing. If the music were to stop, as you put it, then this model wouldn't even be close to that scenario. It would be considerably worse. John Tuld: Let me tell you something, Mr. Sullivan. Do you care to know why I'm in this chair with you all? I mean, why I earn the big bucks. Peter Sullivan: Yes. John Tuld: I'm here for one reason and one reason alone. I'm here to guess what the music might do a week, a month, a year from now. That's it. Nothing more. And standing here tonight, I'm afraid that I don't hear - a - thing. Just... silence.
