The Boost Quote

Linda: [at dinner with Ned] ... Lenny told me about the mistake today. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was sort of counting on that sale to break into the business.
Lenny: [to Linda] That doesn't mean anything to Ned.
Ned: What doesn't mean anything?
Lenny: Hustling for money. You're above all that.
Ned: I worry about money, just like everybody else.
Lenny: But you got some backstops. You start falling down that well, you got some slats across to catch yourself, right? You got your professor-father. You got an education. You got the Financial Journal. You can't fall too far. My old man's an ex-printer on disability! My mother is a secretary for the Ladies Garment Workers Union! I'VE GOT A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION!
