    • Quotes

      Alex Reiger: Y'know, it must be very strange after a lifetime on an unlimited budget to be rich all of a sudden.

      Dee Wilcox: Aah. Very uncomfortable at first. I was tryin' to live the same old way. I'd always lived to be the same old Dee I'd always been. And then one day I went shopping in Bloomingdale's and had a terrible time deciding what hat to buy. Suddenly I said to myself, what the hell, buy 'em all. And that was the day I decided, being poor was best left to people with no money.
