http...I think I've seen this before somewhere?<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZzAS53gcDg<br /><br />Scene from Casino. Nicky meets bank manger.<br /><br />ACE opens the sliding glass door and NICKY enters.<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> Hey, Ace.<br /><br /> ACE<br /> Hey.<br /><br />NICKY walks over to CHARLIE CLARK.<br /><br /> ACE<br /> Want something to drink? Charlie you <br /> want a refill?<br />CHARLIE CLARK<br /> Yeah, refill'd be great.<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> (Approaching CHARLIE)<br /> No, I don't want one.<br /> (Smiling, extends his <br /> hand.)<br /> Hey, Mr Clark, how you doin'?<br /><br /> CHARLIE CLARK<br /> (Shaking hands)<br /> Hi. Good.<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> (Sitting down with <br /> him on a couch)<br /> I've been trying to reach you.<br /> You're tougher to get than the <br /> President.<br /><br /> CHARLIE CLARK<br /> Well, I've been busy.<br /> (Chuckles.)<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> Yeah, least you could do is return <br /> my phone calls, though.<br /><br /> CHARLIE CLARK<br /> Listen... Nicky... we talked about <br /> this... and, uh, I explained to you <br /> that there was the possibility you <br /> might have to take some kind of loss.<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> Yeah.<br /><br /> (Pause.)<br /><br /> I think I want my money back.<br /><br />CHARLIE CLARK<br /> (Chuckling)<br /> What're you gonna do? Strong-arm me?<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> You know... I think that you've gotten <br /> the wrong impression about me. I <br /> think in all fairness, I should <br /> explain to you what it is that I do. <br /> For instance, tomorrow morning I'll <br /> get up nice and early, take a walk <br /> down over to the bank and walk in <br /> and see you, and, uh... if you don't <br /> have my money for me, I'll crack <br /> your f**k*n' head wide open in front <br /> of everybody in the the bank. And <br /> just about the time that I'm comin' <br /> out of jail, hopefully, you'll be <br /> comin' out of your coma. And guess <br /> what? I'll split your f**k*n' head <br /> open again. Because I'm f**k*n' <br /> stupid. I don't give a f**k about <br /> jail. That's my business. That's <br /> what I do. And we know what you do,<br />don't we, Charlie? You f**k people <br /> out of money and get away with it.<br /><br /> CHARLIE CLARK<br /> (As he puts a notepad <br /> in his briefcase)<br /> You can't talk to me like...<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> (Grabbing CHARLIE by <br /> his jacket)<br /> Hey, you fat Irish prick. You put my <br /> f**k*n' money to sleep. You go get <br /> my money, or I'll put your fuckin' <br /> brain to sleep.<br />CHARLIE CLARK<br /> (To ACE, panting)<br /> Sam?<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> Never mind f**k*n' Sam. This is <br /> personal.<br /> (Walking with CHARLIE <br /> to the stairs.)<br /> I'll be there in the morning. You <br /> can f**k*n' try me, fatso.<br /><br />A frightened CHARLIE hurries down the stairs.<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> You f**k*n' try me.<br /><br />He turns to ACE who's behind the bar.<br /><br /> NICKY<br /> You think he got the point?<br /><br />Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-30499143517232840112014-09-30T19:29:17.687+13:002014-09-30T19:29:17.687+13:00Devaluation , quantitative easing by stealth
We...Devaluation , quantitative easing by stealth <br />Well we all wondered how we were going to pay for that massive borrowing didn’t we.<br />For many New Zealanders we just saw our savings drop by the devaluation amount, about 10% over the last months.<br />This means you are worth 10% less than you were before the Nat government started its campaign of reducing the cost of it borrowing plan.<br />That’s what devaluation is , it devalues you. Your money in the bank, your home, your NZ income all devalued by ten per cent on the international stage.<br />Happy? <br />The Government borrowed about 60 billion dollars and now is quantitatively easing its way out by money sales, and devaluation.<br />So overseas investors will now spook, as the lynch pin of Merril Lynch, starts to play with them..<br />And who will pay for this. You will, we will, all of us are devalued. It is only Keywi babble that tells you we are better positioned as a Country.<br />Pure money babble.<br />Good morning Fonterra milk. Good morning President Xi, our subjects are subjected.<br />We have reduced our Social welfare, education , and superannuation costs by ten per cent of our overseas borrowing to pay for this.<br />Well, I am going to go right inside the Conservative party and get as absolute policy,that quantitative easing by stealth will not occur under their vote after 2017. I have three years.<br />There are going to be a load of angry fixed income people out there, and I am going to light fires, <br />The PM spoke of arrogance and hubris, and he is certainly showing us how.<br />.<br />paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.com
