A Man: ... Jeez, stop asking how they'll make money! They'll make money the same way you'll make money! By getting their numbers up! Any fool will be able to see that they'll be worth a lot more than, than this valuation anyway. (Points with derision.) And believe you me, they will have no trouble finding someone to pay them what they're worth.

A Man (cont'd): Guys like Sequoia Capital. Who, by the way, have already asked for a summary. Then the company will have a whole lot more runway - enough to figure it out. Enough to make it to an IPO, even. (Thinks longingly.)

A Man (cont'd): Not to mention what your shares will be worth by then. Just look at this. (Points.) Can you imagine what it'll be worth by the time they IPO? That's how you make the money. Who cares about them? Fuck them! Isn't it time you thought about you for a change?

A Man (cont'd): Look at you. 'How will they make money.' Jeez! (mockingly) 'How will they make money.' 'How will they make money.' It's like you're TRYING to pop this bubble! (Becomes silent.)

A Man (cont'd): I don't know what else to tell you. Just sign the papers, will ya?
