[In a city park of downtown financial district] Well, here we are.
What does this have to do with being a businessman?
If you're gonna go into business, the first thing you're gonna need is capital. Wait. Today is your lucky day. Me and my friend here, we're the wish granters. So, if you really want your wish to come true, you're gonna wanna give that coin to me. But only if you want the wish to come true.
Really?
Absolutely. That's why we're here. Scrape up all the coins in the fountain so we can make all the wishes come true. What do you wish for?
My dog Steve ran away. I wish he'd come home.
Well, put food in his bowl, 'cause Steve will be home before you know it.
Thank you!
Make a wish.
Nah, I don't believe in stuff like that.
Make a wish. What can it hurt? Plus, we're just gonna wade in and get it. [Plops in coin] You wish you were a businessman?
Yeah.
Too bad. You should have wished for a new port. Oh, well. See those guys over there? These squares. Expense account, healthcare. Look at that breakfast burrito, size of a baby. [Chuckles] Those guys are suckers.
I wanted to be like them. I went to college and everything, job...
No, shit?! You went to college?! Me too. Northwestern. Malcolm X. Good school. Community college, but... What happened?
I told you what happened. I bought a Blockbuster video store with my pop, lost everything, the muffler shop, the car, the house. My father committed suicide.
Shit. That sounds... depressing. But today's a new day. You wanna be a businessman? You gotta think like a businessman.
I have no idea what that means.
It means we're gonna need some new threads.
Ooh.
