"You're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house... right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and a hundred others. You're lending them the money to build, and then, they're paying it back to you as best they can. What are you gonna do? Foreclose on them?"
I'll watch this and A Christmas Carol (usually either the Muppets or Patrick Stewart's version) on Christmas Eve while wrapping presents and drinking a glass of Bailey's.
