Gus and Walter in “Abiquiu”

Gus

Walter, I would like to help you if I could.

Walter

Help me how?

Gus

Well, when I first started out, I made a lot of mistakes. More than I care to admit. I wish I had someone to advise me, because this life of ours, it can overwhelm. You are a wealthy man now, and one must learn to be rich. To be poor, anyone can manage.

Walter

What advice do you have for me?

Gus

Never make the same mistake twice.
