  Manny : There is no way I'm going to the casino, alright? Now look, you have given me everything that money can buy.

You know, fre... well, not really freedom, more a largeness of heart. Well, not really a largeness of heart... or freedom... or love. But I was never contractually obliged to sleep with foreign businessmen, alright? And that is not nothing, that is something.
