David:
[while playing pool]
I guess there's limits to what money can buy.
John:
Not many.
Diana:
Well some things aren't for sale.
John:
Such as?
Diana:
Well you can't buy people.
John:
That's naive, Diana. I buy people every day.
Diana:
In business, maybe, but you can't buy people not when real emotions are involved.
John:
So you're saying you can't buy love? That's a bit of a cliché don't you think?
Diana:
It's absolutely true.
John:
Is it? What do you think?
David:
I agree with Diana.
John:
You do? Well let's test the cliché. Suppose... I were to offer you one million dollars for one night with your wife.
David:
I'd assume you're kidding.
John:
Let's pretend I'm not. What would you say?
Diana:
He'd tell you to go to hell.
John:
I didn't hear him.
David:
I'd tell you to go to hell.
John:
That's a reflex answer because you view the question as hypothetical. But let's say that there was real money backing it up. I'm not kidding. A million dollars. The night would come and go but the money could last a lifetime. Think of it. A million dollars. A lifetime of security... for one night. Don't answer right away. Just consider it; seriously?
David:
We're positive, okay?
John:
Well then you've proved your point. There are limits to what money can buy. It's late, and I hate to admit it, but I have meetings in the morning. May I have one dance? With your permission.
David:
You know something? I think you better hurry on to that meeting. You don't want to miss out on your next billion.
John:
Understood. I wouldn't part with her either. Good night.
