- That was a very fine speech of yours, but I know, as well as everybody else here, that you're really only getting at me.
- Well, honestly I wasn't doing anything of the kind.
- I envy you, I admire you.
- Oh yes, you envy me all right, but you don't admire me. Huh, well, I don't admire myself so much.
- I know that money-making isn't everything, but let me tell you something.
- I'm a young man, see, married to a Manchester girl, pretty as paint. The only thing in the world I care about. Well, she dies.
- It's this way, my directors give a party. They ask us. Red letter day for us, I can tell ya.
- I buy my first dress suit and Lucy has a new frock. A cotton frock. It seems that Lucy didn't go too well at that party, especially with the women. They snubbed her. Nothing definite, you know, just didn't think the cotton frock was good enough.
- Well, Lucy worries about it. Gets it into her head that she's gonna hold me back. Well, you may not believe it, but I know that's what killed her.
- That's what started me making money. I swore I'd smash those fellows and their wives that wouldn't give my Lucy a kind word. Ha, and I have smashed 'em. I'd raced most of 'em.
- Once you've started making money, it's hard to stop, especially if you're like me, there isn't much else you're good at.
