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. |
