“I read this article a while back, that said that Microsoft employs more millionaire secretary’s that any other company in the world. They took stock options over Christmas bonuses. It was a good move. I remember there was this picture, of one of the groundskeepers next to his Ferrari. Blew my mind. you see shit like that, and it just plants seeds, makes you think its possible, even easy. And then you turn on the TV, and there’s just more of it. The $87 Million lottery winner, that kid actor that just made 20 million on his last movie, that internet stock that shot through the roof, you could have made millions if you had just gotten in early, and that’s exactly what I wanted to do: get in. I didn’t want to be an innovator any more, i just wanted to make the quick and easy buck, i just wanted in. Notorious BIG said it best: “Either you’re slingin’ crack-rock, or you’ve got a wicked jump-shot.” Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There’s no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee’s, honor’s in the dollar, kid. So I went the white boy way of slinging crack-rock: I became a stock broker.”
Either you’re slingin’ crack-rock, or you’ve got a wicked jump-shot

Monday, August 4th, 2008Storeowner: I got nothing for you my friend.
Taylor: I checked the meter on my machines. Now they’ve had plenty of play. I gave you that key so you could borrow a little, float yourself for a few days. But half of that money is mine, and I want it.
Storeowner: What can I tell you, Taylor? I run a business here. I have expenses. If I’m not paying fast enough for you, turn ‘em off. Take them out of the store.
Storeowner: [Taylor leaves and comes back with a crowbar] What the fuck are you doing? Are you crazy? They’re your own f*cking machines! Don’t do this to me, por favor.
[Taylor smashes the arcade game with the crow bar and pulls the storeowner over the counter]
Taylor: The milk guy’s getting paid… the potato chip guy’s getting paid… the beer guy’s getting paid… every-f*cking-body’s getting paid, and you look through me? You f*ck!
Storeowner: I got it, I got it. It’s right here.
