“You should have saved up a bit more and bought something less gaudy”
I guess it’s true, money can’t buy taste.
Fun fact: Alec Baldwin’s character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn’t trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.
Sad as fuck that you need expensive set pieces to maintain the facade of your self worth. If I were over here wearing a Timex I’d still be fine with who I was. Would you?
I don’t have a car
I don’t care to respond
I don’t mind sounding poor.
Wealth beyond what is good for you is no better than theft I’d say. Buying expensive watches while little children grow up in poverty is nothing to be proud of. If anyone should feel shame it should be that guy. Don’t be humiliated by such shameless assholes. And don’t try to counter attack, It won’t work, they don’t share your values, they feel no shame for the things that they do. Instead let’s organize and fight them where it hurts. Taxes, taxes, taxes.
“Timex?”
If only you had learned to tell time.
A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you’d have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.
Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?
Barf in his face.
“You got ripped off”
“that’s cute!”
‘nice watch!’ then move in and quietly say “oh, hey, it looks like your barber missed a spot back there”
Such frivolous spenditure will rot your money. Decay of your father’s fortune and your child’s kingdom. Begotten by weak flesh and temptation, coward from strength.
Even the homeless know to not show your power before you speak, or your trades will be levied against you.
Woow, what does it do?
- It tells time.
Nothing else? So does my car.
I have people who love me.
