Money Talks

Money Talks
Downey: Good day and welcome to Money Talks, where money gets the last word. I'm Hugh Downy. Sitting on our hot seat today is Ed Clairmont, CEO of SPENRON, a blue chip concern currently under investigation by the authorities. Mister Clairmont, thank you for appearing with us.

Clairmont: Thank you for giving me a chance to defend SPENRON.

Downey: Yes, why don't you tell us about your company?

Clairmont: Gladly. SPENRON is a high tech innovator which offers informed speculation on the fluctuating focuses of prospective research and development.

Downey: How impressive. And what prospective research and development do you speculate on?

Clairmont: It depends.

Downey: It depends?

Clairmont: Yes, because the conditional climate imposed by unpredictable market forces produces wide ranging possibilities.

Downey: But you're in high technology right?

Clairmont: That's correct.

Downey: So, computers?

Clairmont: Possibly.

Downey: Mr Clairmont, I'm not interested in possibilities. What does your company produce?

Clairmont: Jobs.

Downey: Yes, for you, at least. Well, I think we've heard enough from the man. Now let's have a little chat with his money. (He holds up a dollar bill.)

Clairmont: Where did you get that?

Downey: We followed you to the bar for your last transaction. (To the dollar bill) President Washington, how did they make you?

Washington: (lips moving in portrait) Why, in a printing press, my boy. From there I can only change hands.

Downey: Yes, I know, but do you recall your last transaction before Mr Clairmont's martini?

Washington: Yes, of course.

Downey: What were you exchanged for?

Washington: A promissory note.

Downey: (restraining frustration) I should have guessed. A promissory note of what, Mr President?

Washington: Loss.
