Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:25 Explanations: 3:30 Fast dialogue: 15:43 Edgar: What a crock! Ann: What is it? Edgar: I’m reading an article about successful business people who were self-made men and women. I don’t believe a word of it. Ann: What don’t you believe? Edgar: These people didn’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They were all born with silver spoons in their mouths. Ann: Not all successful people were born into money and privilege. Edgar: That’s true, but it gets me riled up when people who grew up at the country club claim to have had humble beginnings. Ann: Just because some people were born with a leg up doesn’t mean they didn’t work hard to get where they are. Edgar: Where would that hard work have gotten them if they didn’t have backers with deep pockets, or if they didn’t know people in high places? I know plenty of hard-working people who aren’t hobnobbing with the rich and famous. Ann: That’s true enough. Who needs the rich and famous? I’ll take my hard-working man over any of them any day. Edgar: That’s why I married you – a woman with beauty and brains! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
