"Close around ten million dollars in cash and blue-chip stocks. Besides, with twenty-eight thousand acres of the richest land this side of the valley Nile...But theres one thing you cant buy in a Europe firesale or in any other market on earth. And thats your life. You cant buy back your life when its finished...The human animal is a beast that eventually has to die. And if hes got money, he buys and he buys and he buys. The reason why he buys everything he can is because his crazy hope is one of the things he buys will be life everlasting - which you never can be."

"[to Brick] Big Daddy dotes on you, honey. And he just cant stand Brother Man and Brother Mans wife, that monster of fertility. Shes downright odious to him. I can tell. Just like I can tell he likes me. Thats the second thing we got on our side. He likes me. The way he looks me up and down, over, hes still got an eye for girls."
