— Yeah, sure.
— How did you spend it all?
— It goes quite quickly. You know, you learn to spend what's in your pocket.
— Two and a half million goes quickly?
— All right, let's see. So the taxman takes half up front, so you're left with one and a quarter. My mortgage takes another 300 grand. I send 150 home for my parents, you know, keep 'em going. So what's that?
— 800?
— All right, 800. Spent 150 on a car. About 75 on restaurants. Probably 50 on clothes. I put 400 away for a rainy day.
— That's smart.
— Yeah, as it turns out, 'cause it looks like the storm's coming.
— You still got 125.
— Yeah, well I did spend 76,520 dollars on hookers, booze and dancers. But mainly hookers.
— 76,5?
— I was a little shocked initially, but then I realized I could claim most of it back as entertainment. It's true!
